A pressure differential sensor provides the pressure input to the ECM. During the regeneration process, the ECM raises the temperature in the DOC/DPF to burn off the soot accumulated. Under normal operation, the engine does not produce enough heat to oxidize the soot inside the DOC/DPF. This process requires temperatures above 550 ºC (1,022 ºF). After regeneration, the ECM reads the actual pressure difference at the DOC/DPF and compares it with a reference value. From this comparison, the ECM determines the ash quantity inside the DOC/DPF.
Under very limited circumstances, your engine and exhaust system may not be able to create the conditions necessary to burn off trapped pollutants. If this situation should occur, the interior overhead message center will display a message warning you of this condition (“Catalyst Full See Owner Man”). By simply changing your driving style for as little as 40 minutes. you can change this condition and allow the trapped pollutants to be burned off.
In the event that the warning messages continue, the electronic engine control module will take action by significantly reducing performance to protect your exhaust catalyst system. A final message, “ Check Engine” will require you to visit your dealer. Your dealer is equipped with the necessary information and equipment to alleviate the condition without damage.
SO FIRST IT'S NOT 3000 DEG. AND SECOND THEY SHOULDN'T BE GOING TO THE DEALER IF THEY ONLY HAVE TO DRIVE IT FOR 40 MIN. AT SPEEDS OF 50/60 MPH AND YES THERE IS A TOOL TO FORCE REGEN. BECAUSE WHEN IT GOES INTO A CHECK ENGINE FAULT YOU CAN'T DRIVE IT .
