What causes excessive Regen?
Oil consumption, faulty injectors, DOC not getting hot enough, burning coolant and faulty wiring to the dpf differential pressure sensor can all cause incomplete/ too frequent of regens.
When does the exhaust filter regenerate on a truck?
Your truck will regenerate (active) when the DPF soot level reaches 65%. This will likely occur every 100-300 miles. You will only see the notice on the EVIC if the soot level reaches 80-90% due to uncompleted regens.
How does the Regen cycle work in a diesel engine?
In doing so the filter can more efficiently capture exhaust artifacts, and more easily pass through the airflow from intake to output, causing less stress on the engine itself. “A regeneration cycle occurs by essentially ‘cooking’ the filter clean again,” says Kyle Nace of Response Equipment Specialists (Kalispell, MT).
What happens if the Regen cycle is not completed?
If the DPF regen cycle is not taking place, or not completing a full cycle, a ‘check engine’ light might illuminate on your dash. In doing so the many sensors in the system will calculate the particulates prior to the DPF and post, recognizing a lack in operation of the DPF.
How does the Regen cycle in a DPF filter work?
“A regeneration cycle occurs by essentially ‘cooking’ the filter clean again,” says Kyle Nace of Response Equipment Specialists (Kalispell, MT). “The DPF Regen contains the heat of the exhaust, adding up to temperatures exceeding 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, so that the filter is depleted of its buildup and returns to proper functioning capabilities.”
