What do you need to know about the DPF?
A Quick Guide to the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). What is it? The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a device designed to reduce emissions by removing diesel particulate matter (or soot) from the exhaust gas of a diesel engine. It is required for your vehicle to meet Euro 5 Emission Standards. What do you need to know about the DPF?
What does the DPF light mean on a diesel?
Diesel particulate filters are intended to reduce soot emissions by as much as 80%. When the filter fails, the DPF (diesel particulate filter) light will come on. It indicates a partial blockage in the filter. So, what is the deal with DPFs?
What are the symptoms of a block DPF filter?
Symptoms of a Block DPF Filter As the majority of DPF’s are installed on newer cars, you will more than likely have a trip computer. Error codes such as the DPF light or EML (Engine Management Light) will be the first symptoms of a failing DPF.
How does dealer fix DPF 100% full?
Regens occur when the PCM notices a specific maximum difference in back pressure around the DPF. DEF is continuously injected into the exhaust stream and the dosing amount is changed based on the NOx/O2 sensor readings downstream the CAT. Click to expand… Thanks for the education!

What causes DPF to Regen at 50 mph?
If you are driving 20 miles above 50 mph routinely, your vehicle will regen often enough to never see a message. Regens and DEF have nothing to do with each other. Regens occur when the PCM notices a specific maximum difference in back pressure around the DPF.
