Regeneration of particle filter


This function is used to perform a regeneration. The function cleans the particle filter from particles by burning them off. In certain driving conditions, the particle filter can not be cleaned automatically, e.g., in continuous city driving. Then it may be necessary to perform a regeneration to avoid clogging of the particle filter.

Regeneration must be performed if fault codes P1206 or P2002 are present in the fault code memory. These fault codes are generated when the particle filter is clogged.

Only applies to vehicles equipped with "DPF".

Note:

Exhaust temperature is very high during this procedure. Therefore, perform the regeneration outdoors, without connected exhaust hose, with open hood.

Test conditions:

Procedure:

  1. Select the function and press "OK".

  2. Start the engine and let it idle (850 rpm +/-50 rpm), press "OK".

  3. A data list with brake, clutch, and coolant temperature are shown, press "OK" when correct temperature has been reached.

  4. Regeneration starts and ends automatically when the right values have been reached, during the time that regeneration is in progress the engine rpm is increased to between 3,000 and 3,500 rpm. When regeneration has ended you are instructed to turn off the ignition for 30 seconds and then turn on the ignition again.

  5. The function is done.

    • If the function is cancelled or if a fault should occur during the operation, regeneration is cancelled and fault message is shown. Then you are instructed to turn off the ignition for 30 seconds and then turn on the ignition again.
