Why is my Regen not working?
Regen problems generally arise where city driving, excessive idling or light duty cycles are encountered. Or, if other engine components such as EGR valves, turbochargers, injectors are fouled or not working properly. Your DPF works by filtering the soot from the engine’s exhaust stream.
What Regen means?
regenerating
1 : an act or the process of regenerating : the state of being regenerated. 2 : spiritual renewal or revival. 3 : renewal or restoration of a body, bodily part, or biological system (such as a forest) after injury or as a normal process.
How do you know when regen is done?
Monitor the Exhaust temperature and RPM. When the idle comes back down it means that the regen has finished. If the regen starts and stops then you may have a problem that prevents the regen from taking place.
What happens if you don’t do a regen?
Regeneration, or regen, of the DPF filter, is the process that burns the soot accumulation that is inside the DPF filter. If you can no longer start a regen then you will eventually get stuck in a derate which will then lead to an engine shut down.
How often should I do a parked regen?
low temperature regen will start every 150-180 engine hours. Sometimes there will be high temperature regen while vehicle is in motion and DOC outlet temperature will rise up to 1200F. It may take 20-30min. Forced parked regen you can start when dpf is in Zone 1 .
What is parked regeneration?
Parked regeneration is a form of active regeneration in which the driver must park the vehicle and initiate the regeneration process by pushing a button on the dash. Failure to abide by these instructions may result in severe loss of power, engine vehicle speed and may cause an accident or a fire.”
When does the Regen start on a 07?
Regens started with EPA07. Many 07’s do not have it, they were preorders from 06. It’s just like Bayle said. There is a soot filter in the muffler called a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). When soot levels get high, the regeneration burns it out.
What happens when you don’t do a Regen?
The engine will always try to do it automatically, but if it cannot, a light will come on giving warning that a regen is due. At this point, the driver must change the duty cycle of the engine (get out on the highway and hammer down), or if that’s not possible, pull over some where so he can do a manual regen.
How long does it take to do a manual Regen?
At this point, the driver must change the duty cycle of the engine (get out on the highway and hammer down), or if that’s not possible, pull over some where so he can do a manual regen. A manual will can take 30 min to over an hour sometimes, typically they are 30-40 min though. truckon, Grumppy, Big Don and 3 others Thank this.
What does it mean when an engine Regen?
An active regeneration means that a fuel dosing valve injects fuel into the exhaust system to raise the temperature. An active regeneration can be automatic or driver initiated. The engine will always try to do it automatically, but if it cannot, a light will come on giving warning that a regen is due.
