engine FORD TRANSIT CONNECT 2020 Repair Manual

Selective Catalytic Reductant
System Warning Lamp
The warning lamp illuminates if
the system detects the diesel
exhaust fluid level is low or if
there is a system malfunction.
If the warning lamp illuminates, the
information display messages give you an
indication whether the concern is fluid
related or if there is a selective catalytic
reductant system malfunction. If the
warning lamp illuminates when your
vehicle is moving, and the fluid is at a
sufficient level, this indicates a system
malfunction. Have your vehicle checked
as soon as possible.
Note: When filling the diesel exhaust fluid
tank from empty, there may be a short
period before the increased diesel exhaust
fluid level is registered.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER WARNING: Do not park or idle your
vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The regeneration
process creates very high exhaust gas
temperatures and the exhaust will
radiate a considerable amount of heat
during and after regeneration and after
you have switched the engine off. This is
a potential fire hazard. WARNING: The normal operating
temperature of the exhaust system is
very high. Never work around or attempt
to repair any part of the exhaust system
until it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the diesel oxidation
catalytic converter or the diesel particulate filter. The diesel oxidation
catalytic converter and the diesel
particulate filter heat up to very high
temperatures after only a short period
of engine operation and remain hot after
you switch the engine off.
WARNING:
Exhaust leaks may
result in entry of harmful and potentially
lethal fumes into the passenger
compartment. If you smell exhaust
fumes inside your vehicle, have your
vehicle inspected immediately. Do not
drive if you smell exhaust fumes.
Your vehicle has various emission control
components and a diesel particulate filter
that enables it to comply with applicable
exhaust emission standards. It filters
harmful diesel particulates, for example
soot from the exhaust gas.
To avoid damaging the diesel particulate
filter:
• Do not crank the engine for more than
10 seconds at a time.
• Do not push-start or tow-start your
vehicle. Use booster cables. See Jump
Starting the Vehicle
(page 252).
• Do not switch the ignition off when your
vehicle is moving.
• Do not ignore warning lamps or
information messages regarding
exhaust system cleaning and
regeneration.
Note: This could result in damage not
covered by the vehicle Warranty.
On-Board Diagnostics System
Your vehicle has an on-board diagnostics
system that monitors the emission control
system. If any of the following warning
lamps illuminate, this indicates that the
on-board diagnostics system has detected
an emission control system malfunction.

Diesel Particulate Filter Automatic
Regeneration WARNING: Do not park or idle your
vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The regeneration
process creates very high exhaust gas
temperatures and the exhaust will
radiate a considerable amount of heat
during and after regeneration and after
you have switched the engine off. This is
a potential fire hazard. WARNING:
The normal operating
temperature of the exhaust system is
very high. Never work around or attempt
to repair any part of the exhaust system
until it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the diesel oxidation
catalytic converter or the diesel particulate filter. The diesel oxidation
catalytic converter and the diesel
particulate filter heat up to very high
temperatures after only a short period
of engine operation and remain hot after
you switch the engine off.
The diesel particulate filter on your vehicle
requires periodic regeneration to maintain
correct operation. The emission control
system automatically carries out this
process. As soot gathers in the system it
begins to restrict the filter. The soot that
gathers inside the filter is cleaned in two
different ways, passive regeneration and
active regeneration. Both methods occur
automatically and require no actions from
the driver. During automatic regeneration,
the system cleans the diesel particulate
filter by oxidizing the soot. Cleaning
happens during normal engine operating
conditions at varying levels depending on
driving conditions. Diesel particulate filter warning
lamp.
If the diesel particulate filter is near or at
saturation, a warning lamp or information
message appears in the information
display. Drive your vehicle in a manner to
allow effective diesel particulate filter
cleaning.
The warning lamp continues to illuminate
until the automatic regeneration process
completes. Continue to drive your vehicle
in a manner to allow effective diesel
particulate filter cleaning until the warning
lamp turns off.
Failure to carry out regeneration when
required could result in a clogged diesel
particulate filter. If the diesel particulate
filter fills beyond the regeneration
threshold, the system disables the ability
to carry out regeneration. This could result
in damage not covered by the vehicle
Warranty.

Where vehicle use meets any of the
following conditions:
•
Driving short distances.
• Prolonged engine idling.
• Frequently switching the engine on and
off.
• High levels of acceleration and
deceleration.
We recommend you assist the
regeneration process by:
• Avoiding prolonged engine idling.
• Drive your vehicle in a manner to allow
effective cleaning. Drive at a steady
vehicle speed of 30 mph (48 km/h) or
above for approximately 20 minutes. If the warning lamp illuminates
the diesel particulate filter could
have become overloaded. Have
your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Automatic regeneration raises the exhaust
temperature to eliminate the soot
particles. During cleaning soot particles are
converted to harmless gasses. Once
cleaned the diesel particulate filter
continues to trap harmful diesel particles.
If you are driving your vehicle in a manner
that allows effective cleaning, a message
may appear in the information display to
indicate automatic regeneration is in
progress.
If you are not driving your vehicle in a
manner that allows effective cleaning, a
message may appear in the information
display to instruct you to drive in a manner
that allows automatic regeneration. The automatic regeneration process is
most effective when you drive at a steady
vehicle speed of 30 mph (48 km/h) or
above for approximately 20 minutes. The
frequency and duration of the regeneration
process varies by how you drive your
vehicle, the outside air temperature and
altitude. Frequency varies between 100 mi
(160 km)
and 310 mi (500 km) and each
regeneration process lasts between 10 and
20 minutes.
Note: Changes in the engine or exhaust
sound may be heard during the regeneration
process.
Note: During regeneration at low speed or
engine idle, you could smell a hot metallic
odor and could notice a clicking metallic
sound. This is due to the high temperatures
reached during the regeneration process.
This is normal.

Diesel particulate filter warning
lamp.
If the diesel particulate filter is
near or at saturation, the warning lamp
appears advising you to initiate diesel
particulate filter manual regeneration.
Before you start manual regeneration, do
the following:
• Park your vehicle outside of any
enclosed structure.
• Make sure the transmission is in park
(P) or neutral (N).
• Make sure the parking brake is on.
• Park your vehicle a minimum of 10 ft
(3 m) from any obstructions and
materials that can easily combust or
melt, for example, paper, leaves, fuels,
plastics and other dry organic material.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 3.2 gal
(12 L)
of fuel in the fuel tank.
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the engine coolant level.
Manual Regeneration
Where vehicle use has significant engine
idle operation, frequent vehicle speed less
than
25 mph (40 km/h), or driving short
distances where the engine does not fully
warm up, manual regeneration allows you
to start diesel particulate filter cleaning
when the engine is idling. Use the manual regeneration feature
when:
•
You are not able to drive in a manner
that allows effective automatic
cleaning. See
Diesel Particulate
Filter Automatic Regeneration.
• You choose to manually start the
regeneration process when the engine
is idling.
Note: Changes in the engine or exhaust
sound may be heard during the regeneration
process.
Note: During regeneration at low speed or
engine idle, you may smell a hot metallic
odor and could notice a clicking metallic
sound. This is due to the high temperatures
reached during the regeneration process.
This is normal.
Starting Manual Regeneration
You can only start manual regeneration
with the engine running at normal
operating temperature using the
information display. See
Information
Messages (page 100).
Note: During the use of manual
regeneration, you may observe a light
amount of white smoke. This is normal.
Note: If you press any pedal during manual
regeneration the engine may turn off. To
protect the exhaust system you may not be
able to restart the engine for 10 minutes. If a warning illuminates you may
not be able to start manual
regeneration.

Note: You cannot use the manual regeneration until the diesel particulate filter load
percentage has reached 100 percent. The diesel particulate filter load percentage fluctuates
when driving due to automatic regeneration.
When you start manual regeneration the
engine speed rises to approximately
2000– 2500 rpm and the cooling fan
speed increases. A change in engine noise
due to the cooling fan and engine speed
increase may be heard during the
regeneration process.
Depending on the amount of soot
collected by the diesel particulate filter,
the regeneration process varies depending
on the outside air temperature and
altitude. Manual regeneration may last up
to 40 minutes. When manual regeneration is complete
the cooling fan and engine speed return to
normal idling. The exhaust system remains
very hot for several minutes after
regeneration is complete. Do not reposition
the vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or
other combustible materials until the
exhaust system has had sufficient time to
cool.

Depending on the amount of time allowed
for manual regeneration to operate, soot
may not have had sufficient time to be
eliminated. The exhaust system may still
be very hot for several minutes after
regeneration.
If you switch the engine off during manual
regeneration, turbo charger flutter occurs.
This is a consequence of switching a diesel
engine off during turbo charger boost
operation, which is normal.
