As I understand it, and pending @diesel contribution, if you interrupt a pre-regen, you will cause the symptomology you describe.I see people on here are able to see there soot level is that through a scan tool? As well of what I'm reading people can see when there vehicle is performing an auto regen during a drive? is there a light on the dash or a setting or something that tells me that the vehicle is performing this action. Both times that I had this code have been on initial start up with no prior warning and the dealer doesn't believe me that this is the case sighting that that's not what the vehicle will do when it's exactly what it has done. I read the posts from previous but they all seem to have much higher milage than me mine happened at 20000 miles and then 6000 miles later?
There's a thread on here with more details abotu the scangauge II. I think there may be a discount code or something you can use to get a discount and have it programmed for the diesel Cruze. I would call or email them to make sure they know to configure it for your car. I keep RGN (regen status), MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure), STM (Soot Mass) on mine as the most important. You need the MAP to determine if the car is getting readt to go into pre-regen, as per the above post.Hi thanks everyone for the advice, just to make it clear my oil changes are done at the dealer so not an oil issue and I only run diesel from branded gas stations only. I did get this covered under warranty as I lost my **** in the dealership trying to explain to them that this occurred on start up and there was no prior warning of the filter being close to full or any messages advising to keep driving. The idiot kept telling me that the car goes through phases before setting the CEL and I kept telling him that it didn't and there's no way to prove in either argument that it did or didn't so to fix the problem. Needless to say I'm no longer taking my vehicle to that dealer and will take it to another dealer and complain about the issue of it not advising me to keep driving or DPF almost full to put it on record that there's an issue with that system. Hopefully by having a complaint will keep me covered by warranty next time this happens as it's happened twice and I'm sure will happen again. Is it a generic scanguage 2 that I need and just set it to Diesel engine via online update or programming? FYI my milage is only around 900 Klm per tank mostly highway driving 120 kph is that low? Thanks everyone for the help.

I think it's in the $100 range IIRC. Cheaper than a manual regen, for sure!The Scanguage is a neat tool/toy. It costs a bunch of $$$
To your point. This is what's happening. it happened to me immediately after a 500 mile highway trip last time. It's all in the timing. Once I figured out what to look for, it never happened again.Thanks everyone the reason I wanted a scanguage is to see for myself if the car is going into regen mode. When I bought the car my wife was driving from Toronto to Barrie 100klm one way daily her work and that when this occurred the first time. Over the past year her job has changed so she works more from home than from the office and only makes that trip once a week I now use it to go to work in Mississauga 26 Klm one way all highway and I don't commute during peak hrs of the day. I also believe that the vehicle shouldn't encounter this problem as the drive should be adequate to regen. I tried to get the dealer (Roy Foss) to drive it and see through there scanguage if it's going into regen but there awnser was we are able to manually do it so it should be doing it automatically. He did offer to drive my car for 10000 Klm to see if he can duplicate the problem (jack a$$). I think it pissed them off even more when I told them that I am actually am a licensed automotive and truck coach technician so to stop trying to screw me. (I worked the trade for 11 yrs then left 12 yrs ago to peruse other interests). I guess I will take it to another dealer and hopefully I can get them to confirm the regen is actuating automatically. I rather not buy a scanguage but as Diesel said it's cheaper than a manual regen.
Holden Malibu Diesel 2013: Road Test - motoring.com.auOh and I do love driving the car it handles well performs amazingly on the highway. I actually wrote to GM when I first got the vehicle asking why they didn't put this engine in an impala or Malibu something a little bigger with more space for a family. The engine would make for a great road trip car with a family of it was in a larger car
