Why are soot levels high?
The high soot level just means it is requesting a regen, it probably won’t finish a regen because of the EGR fault. The only time the DPF needs replaced or baked is if there is an Ash Clean Request.
Is there a difference between ash and soot?
Ash and soot are fundamentally different materials, but both accumulate in the DPF. Soot is normally removed from the DPF through regeneration, which burns off the soot, leaving the ash behind. Ash, on the other hand, by definition is incombustible and must be removed from the DPF through some type of cleaning process.
How do I know if my DPF is clogged?
If there is black smoke leaving your exhaust pipe, this is an obvious indicator that your DPF filter is not working properly. Like any filter, your DPF will, over time, start to form a blockage from the waste that it holds and will need to be cleaned.
