Emergency Regeneration
Procedure
If the regeneration required warning
light (amber) or selectable (switch)
regeneration required warning light
(amber) turns on the DIC, the DPF
could not satisfactorily complete
automatic regeneration and driver
action is required. If the
regeneration required warning light
(Not selectable (switch)
regeneration warning light) is turned
on, you can choose from Running
regeneration or Switch regeneration
in order to complete the DPF
regeneration.
If the selectable (switch)
regeneration required warning light
turns on, you have to perform
Switch regeneration in order to
complete the DPF regeneration.
If you continue driving too long with
the regeneration required warning
light (amber) or selectable (switch)
regeneration required warning light
(amber) displayed on the DIC
without performing one of the
possible regenerations, the
message will change to red
Regeneration Required warning
light or selectable (switch)
regeneration required warning light.
The red regeneration required
warning light or selectable (switch)
regeneration required warning light
indicates the DPF filter is nearly full
of PM, a condition which may be
damaging to the filter.
DPF regeneration should be
completed immediately if the red
regeneration required warning light
or selectable (switch) regeneration
required warning light is displayed
on the DIC.
Continuing to drive without
performing DPF regeneration will
cause the check engine malfunction
indicator light and reduced engine
power indicator light to come on, an
engine power reduction, and may
cause damage to the DPF filter. See
Driver Information Center (DIC)
(Diesel Only) 0 87.
Running Regeneration Procedure
Use this option for completing DPF
regeneration, if driving conditions
and traffic allow you to maintain a
Driving and Operating
relatively constant speed above
48 km/h (30 MPH) for about
20 minutes.
Follow the steps below to use
Running regeneration:
1. Determine if road and traffic
conditions allow for relatively
constant speeds above
48 km/h (30 MPH).
2. Increase the vehicle speed
above 48 km/h (30 MPH) and
keep a constant speed.
3. When vehicle speed, engine
coolant temperature and other
factors are met the engine
control module (ECM) will
begin DPF regeneration and
the regeneration in progress
indicator light (amber) will
appear on the DIC.
4. Continue driving until the
regeneration in progress
indicator light (amber) goes off.
When this indicator light goes
off the DPF regeneration is
complete.
