Regeneration of particle filter


This function cleans soot particles from the particle filter by burning them off using an increase in the exhaust temperature. In certain driving conditions, the particle filter cannot be cleaned automatically, e.g. in continuous city driving. This function is then used to force a regeneration. Regeneration takes around 15 minutes.

Note:

The exhaust temperature is very high during this procedure. Therefore, perform the regeneration outdoors without an exhaust hose connected.

Test conditions:

Procedure:

  1. Start the function.

  2. Follow the instructions in the program.

    • Regeneration takes around 15 minutes.

    • During the regeneration phase the engine speed is increased to around 3500 rpm.

  3. The function is complete.

    • If the function fails, check the test conditions and repair any faults.
