How long does exhaust Regen take?
A forced regen occurs when soot builds up inside the diesel particulate filter (DPF) to the point that the vehicle is no longer operable. When this happens, a driver has to pull over and initiate a self-cleaning process that can take up to 40 minutes — valuable time that could have been spent on the road.
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.”
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 regeneration work on a diesel particulate filter?
Regeneration cleans out the soot by converting the carbon to carbon dioxide, and the ash is removed by removing the filter and cleaning it in a machine with compressed air. Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration: How Do I Maintain a DPF?
When does active regeneration of exhaust gas occur?
Both active and passive regeneration happen automatically and without driver input. Active regeneration can occur automatically any time the vehicle is moving. The exhaust gas temperature could reach 1500℉ (800℃). Active regeneration is unknown to the driver with the exception of some additional dashboard lamps.

When does the active particulate filter regenerate?
Active = fuel is injected into the exhaust stroke strictly for the purpose of increasing exhaust gas temperatures (EGT’s) in order to get to the temperature necessary to burn the soot out of the diesel particulate filter (DPF). Your truck will regenerate (active) when the DPF soot level reaches 65%. This will likely occur every 100-300 miles.
When does the EcoDiesel exhaust filter stop working?
If your trip is too short and the engine is then shut off, or the truck is put in park with the engine idling, an active regeneration process stops (at whatever soot level the DPF is at). The next drive cycle when the DPF again reaches 65% soot mass the whole process starts all over again.
