Step-by-step guide to performing a forced DPF regeneration with a scan tool. Learn the pre-checks, the process, and which Australian scan tools support stationary DPF regen.
A DPF - Diesel particulate filter is a filter that works in the exhaust system of later model diesel vehicles by capturing and storing soot in order to reduce emissions. When the DPF becomes blocked to a point where it can no longer regenerate on its own it will usually go into limp mode and throw a check engine light. There is a way you can do a forced regeneration yourself with a scan tool!
