3 Description and Operation
DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) Regen
Needed Lamp
The "DPF Regen Needed" lamp indicates, when illuminated or
flashing, that the diesel particulate filter requires regeneration.
When the "DPF Regen Needed" lamp illuminates, the diesel
particulate filter needs to regenerate within the next 2-6 hours
of operation. This is accomplished by:
1. Changing to a more challenging duty cycle, such as
highway driving or similar, for at least 20 minutes,
OR
2. Performing a "Stationary" Regeneration.
If a regeneration is not completed in a timely manner after the
"DPF Regen Needed" lamp illuminates, the lamp will begin to
flash. When this happens, the actions on page 43 should be
performed within 1-2 hours. In addition, engine power may be
reduced automatically.
Performing a "Stationary" Regeneration
1. Park the vehicle in an area where it can safely idle for up to
50 minutes. The regeneration period may be from 5 to 50
minutes, depending upon severity.
2. Set the parking brake and let the truck idle.
3. Turn the Regen switch to the "ON" position. The switch is
located on the dash, to the right of the steering column.
4. Do not throttle the engine or apply the brake pedal until the
regeneration is complete and the DPF light goes out.
Throttling the engine and/or applying the brake will stop the
regeneration process.
5. Turn the Regen switch to the "OFF" position after
regeneration is complete.
Check and Stop Engine Lamps
A flashing "DPF Regen Needed" lamp combined with an
illuminated "Check Engine" lamp indicates that the Diesel
Particulate Filter needs to be regenerated immediately. Engine
power will be reduced automatically. A "Stationary"
regeneration is required immediately.
NOTICE
If a "Stationary" regeneration is not performed, the red "Stop
Engine" lamp will illuminate. The vehicle should be stopped
as soon as it can safely be done and remain shut down until it
can be serviced by an authorized repair location.
Driver Tips
The electric-actuated variable geometry turbocharger
causes the engine sound to vary at times. This is normal. A
slight turbo whistle may also be observed at idle conditions.
