DPF Ash Accumulation
•
The lighter ash is discharged through the exhaust
system; the heavier ash collects in the soot filter.
•
Ash is a residue of the regeneration process. Over
time, the diesel particulate filter accumulates ash
that does not discharge with the engine exhaust.
•
The computer for the engine calculates the amount
of ash accumulated in the DPF.

•
When enough ash accumulates, the engine
computer sends information to the InfoCenter in
the form of a system advisory or an engine fault to
indicate the accumulation of ash in the DPF.
•
The advisory and faults are indications that it is
time to service the DPF.
•
In addition to the warnings, the computer reduces
the power produced by the engine at different
ash-accumulation levels.
