When does the engine regeneration stop on a Freightliner truck?

When does the engine regeneration stop on a Freightliner truck?

A Parked Regeneration will stop if the key is turned to the off position, the truck is put into gear or the parking brake is released. The regeneration will take approximately 20-40 min. The regeneration is complete when the engine returns to low idle and the DPF lamp remains off.

When does the high exhaust system temperature ( DPF ) lamp illuminates?

Once the DPF reaches approximately 840° F (450° C), the High Exhaust System Temperature (HEST) Lamp illuminates. When regeneration is complete, the engine returns to idle. If any of the above conditions change, manual regeneration deactivates and the engine returns to idle. If the DPF Lamp illuminates again, manual regeneration must be restarted.

When does the DPF flash on a caterpillar?

The Inhibit or Disable Switch (if equipped) must NOT be enabled or “on.” Caterpillar recommends automatic regeneration for most applications. If the DPF soot loading reaches level 3, the DPF Lamp starts to flash and the Check Engine Lamp comes on. At this point, Caterpillar recommends a manual regeneration (or parked regeneration).

A Parked Regeneration will stop if the key is turned to the off position, the truck is put into gear or the parking brake is released. The regeneration will take approximately 20-40 min. The regeneration is complete when the engine returns to low idle and the DPF lamp remains off.
