i thought you said you had to interupt the regen 3x to get the cel

cuz that would be insanely retarded to get a cel for one interruption when the driver doesnt even know theyre interrupting something.

You're right @diesel, it is the high soot accumulation. I decided to buy and replace the sensor myself. I'll try the manual Regen first though. I am hoping to avoid the dealers but if it doesn't correct, I will go get the computer work done.

I think I've driven about 500 miles in reduced engine power mode so I am beginning to worry about whether I am going to begin getting restrictions on speed soon. Haha keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks again everyone!

I've been wondering that myself. I've had mine since October 16 and put about 40k on it. I have not yet seen the DPF lamp. I do about 100 miles a day on the freeway though, but I was off work two weeks and figured I would see it while driving around town. Never did pop up.

youre quoting a person that drives a completely different car than yours

him posting aboot a f150 would be as helpful as posting aboot his car in relation to yours.

your car does not have a dpf lamp, thats why youve never seen it.

There must be some sort of warning that you need to keep driving, surely? It makes no sense to just let the DPF get blocked without letting the driver know.

there is a keep driving msg possible on the DIC if conditions warrant it.

78,000 miles here, have never seen it.

I'm talking about the DIC message to continue driving. I confused it with the DEF warning lamp. I'll edit my original post.

10-4

car is designed to hide the regen process from the driver

if the car is operating properly you wont notice it.

many track it with a scangauge2, but not necessary.

Reading somewhere where people claiming the DPF only last around 100k miles. Is there any truth to that? Otherplaces say that it should last the life of the vehicle if you do enough highway driving to let it regen.

Do we have any really high mileage drivers (150k +) that have had to replace it?

manufacturer claims life of vehicle but it is a wear item

life of vehicle means what?

it should last 200k miles, most wont keep vehicle that long
