Continued on trip towing about 350 miles a day. On the second day (500 miles since last regen) the soot levels got up to about 35%. Suddenly the truck went into regen and soot level reading jumped to 96%. The regen dropped the soot level about 2% every mile towing at 65 mph. Eventually the regen reduced the soot level to 0 and stopped. The fan speed, on the other hand, will slow down once the DPF has cooled off from the temperatures of regeneration. I think your car's regen was most likely finished since the fans were no longer running at high speed after shutdown; The engine's continued elevated idle most likely tricked you into thinking the regeneration was still under way. How to force regeneration dpf mondeo Published 15 January 2010 - 12:07 PM Thought you Mk4 guys who have a fitted DPF may be interested in this from the Driving Times section. ----- said today's cars often have more computing power than any Apollo mission that first landed people on the moon. It also regenerates actively (by introducing extra diesel to start a fire in the DPF) every 250 miles or so. But if the DPF is too clogged with soot, the active regeneration cannot take place and the extra fuel dribbles down the bores contaminating your lube oil and raising its level. Decent superfuel such as Shell V-Power Nitro Plus helps (I The AlfaOBD app has two different methods of forcing a regen, parked and moving. C. chadg2. 1146 posts · Joined 2014. #3 · Jul 2, 2019. I forgot to ask you Bounty on Alpha it says on the screen "do not press brake pedal or gas during parked regen" I remember you saying you held the pedal down to maintain 1,500 RPM during the process. This Heavy Duty diagnostic scanner for diesel trucks is a professional scanner that enables you to perform many functions such as DPF regeneration, read/erase fault codes, graph live data display, retrieve vehicle information, EVAP Tests, O2 Sensor Tests, amongst many more.. It will work with your specific truck as listed in the drop down boxes Low Soot Load: This occurs when the DPF indicator light is a solid yellow. When this light comes on it means that the DPF filter is starting to become full. The DPF needs to heat up to turn the soot into ash. There are two ways to accomplish this: Run on the highway for a long period of time (>60km/hr) or perform a forced parked regeneration. This video will show you the menu systems leading upto a DPF forced regeneration with the iCarsoft LR v2.0. The LR v2.0 kit is suitable for DPF regeneration Sticky EGR valves are another DPF killer - pumping excess crankcase vapour into the exhaust. Faulty glow-plugs - also DPF-deadly - because they cause the engine to run too rich on start-up. PRESSURE SENSOR. And then there’s the differential pressure sensor across the DPF - all that does is measure the pressure drop across the filter. Click on the tab “Diesel Control 1” then select the ACTIVATE button at the top. Now start the engine and let it idle in park, then click the ‘off’ inside of DPF Service Regeneration. If the command is successful the engine speed will ramp up to 2500rpm give or take and the cooling fan run at full speed. Xc58XY.
