DPF
The DPF function allows you to carry out numerous functions on the Diesel
Particulate Filter system without having to send your car to a main dealer.
The tool will manage DPF regeneration, DPF component replacement
teach-in and DPF teach-in after replacing the engine control unit.
ECM monitors driving style and selects a suitable time to employ
regeneration. Cars driven a lot at idling speed and low load will attempt to
regenerate earlier than cars driven more with high load and high speed. In
order for regeneration to take place, a prolonged high exhaust temperature
must be obtained.
In the event of the car being driving in such a way that regeneration is not
possible, i.e. frequent short journeys, a diagnostic trouble code will
eventually be registered, DPF light and “Check Engine” indicator come on. A
service regeneration can be requested in the workshop, using the diagnostic
tool.
Before carrying out a forced DPF regeneration using the tool, check the
following items:
 The fuel light is not on.
 No DPF-relevant faults stored in system.
