DPF Regeneration
Description:
With the addition of Diesel Particulate Filters with EPA’07
engine DPF regeneration was required to keep the DPF
working at peak effi ciency.
Caterpillar DPF’s regenerate automatically under most
driving conditions and requires no driver intervention.
In most cases the driver is unaware that the DPF is
regenerating.
Two DPF related dash lamps were added by most
OEM’s, the DPF Lamp and the High Exhaust System
Termperature ( HEST) Lamp.
For information on the function of these two lamps refer
to The DPF Lamps, Switches and Driver Tips brochure,
LEDT7022, and The DPF Regeneraiton Quick Reference
Card, LEDT8906.
