Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter - Excessive Automatic and/or Stationary

Regeneration
This is symptom tree t147
For further information on vehicles that have the diesel particulate lamp illuminating frequently, high exhaust
temperature lamp (if equipped) illuminating frequently, and/or require frequent automatic/stationary regenerations, use
the following troubleshooting symptom tree.
Cause Correction
View and troubleshoot the fault codes with
STEP 1 INSITE™ electronic service tool. Refer to the
Electronic fault codes active or high counts of ............. appropriate fault code tree in Section TF, in the
inactive fault codes Electronic Control System Troubleshooting and
Repair Manual.

Check the aftertreatment system trip information
with INSITE™ electronic service tool. Low load
STEP 5 and low duty cycle applications generally require
more active or stationary regeneration time to keep

extended idling, and/or low ambient temperatures
the vehicle load and duty cycle are unable to be
increased, more stationary regenerations may be
needed. Refer to Procedure 101-047 in Section F.

Cause Correction
Use INSITE™ electronic service tool to perform
the Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter
Regeneration Test. Allow the stationary
regeneration procedure to run a minimum of 15
minutes. Use INSITE™ electronic service tool to
monitor the EGR differential pressure value. EGR

pressure is reading above this specification,
inspect the EGR differential pressure sensing ports
for restriction. If no restriction is found, replace the
EGR valve. Record values for the troubleshooting
steps in the next step as well, while performing this
