The DPF function of Autel MaxiDiag MD808 PRO
allows you to carry out numerous functions on the Diesel Particulate
Filter system without having to send your car to a main dealer. The tool
will manage DPF regeneration, DPF component replacement teach-in and
DPF teach-in after replacing the engine control unit.
ECM monitors driving style and selects a suitable time to employ regeneration. Cars driven a lot at idling speed and low load will attempt to regenerate earlier than cars driven more with high load and high speed. In order for regeneration to take place, a prolonged high exhaust temperature must be obtained.
In the event of the car being driving in such a way that regeneration is not possible, i.e. frequent short journeys, a diagnostic trouble code will eventually be registered, DPF light and “Check Engine” indicator come on. A service regeneration can be requested in the workshop, using the diagnostic tool.
Before carrying out a forced DPF regeneration using the tool, check the followina items:
1.The fuel light is not on
2.No DPF relevant faults stored in system.
3.The vehicle has the correct spec engine oil.
4.The oil for diesel is not contaminated.
IMPORTANT:
Before diagnosing a problem vehicle and attempting to perform an emergency regeneration, it is important to obtain a full diagnostic log and read out relevant measured value blocks.
NOTE:
1.The DPF will not regenerate if the engine management light is on, or there is a faulty EGR valve.
2.The ECU must be re-adapted when replacing the DPF and when topping up the fuel additive Eolys.
3.If the vehicle needs to be driven in order to perform a DPF service, ALWAYS have a second person help you. One person should drive the vehicle while the other person observes the screen on the Professional diagnostic technician. Trying to drive and observe the Scan Tool at the same time is dangerous, and could cause a serious traffic accident.
Take BMW as an example. Follow the steps below to do the tests.
Select DPF icon on the Service screen (Figure 5-1), choose BMW from the vehicle make screen and select the correct vehicle model to enter the function menu.
