How to Interrupt or Cancel Operator
Commanded Regeneration
If you need to cancel the operator
commanded regeneration, press the brake
pedal or switch the ignition off to stop the
procedure. Depending on the amount of
time you allowed the operator
commanded regeneration to operate, soot
may not have had sufficient time to be
eliminated, but the exhaust system and
exhaust gas may still be hot. If you shut
your vehicle off during operator
commanded regeneration, you will notice
turbo flutter. This is a normal consequence
caused by shutting off a diesel engine
during boosted operation and is considered
normal. Filter Service and Maintenance
Over time, a slight amount of ash will build
up in the diesel particulate filter, which is
not removed during the regeneration
process. The filter may need to be removed
for ash cleaning at approximately
119,900 mi (193,000 km) or greater, actual
mileage can vary greatly depending upon
engine and vehicle operating conditions.
The filter may need to be replaced at
approximately
248,500 mi (400,000 km)
depending upon vehicle operating
conditions.
In both cases, the engine control system
will set a service light to inform you to have
your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer.
If there are any issues with the diesel
particulate filter, the engine control system
will turn on a service light to inform you to
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer.
