Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration Important: Minimize the amount of time that you idle the engine or operate the engine at low-engine speed to help reduce the accumulation of soot in the soot filter. The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is part of the exhaust system. The diesel-oxidation catalyst of the DPF reduces harmful gasses and the soot filter removes soot from the engine exhaust.
DPF Ash Accumulation • When enough ash accumulates, the engine • 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.
