to the DPF light and "Check Engine" indicators. A service regeneration can be requested
in the workshop using the diagnostic tool.
Before performing a forced DPF regeneration using the tool, check the following items:
⚫ The fuel light is not on.
⚫ No DPF-relevant faults stored in system.
⚫ The vehicle has the specified engine oil.
⚫ The oil for diesel is not contaminated.
IMPORTANT
Before diagnosing a problematic 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
⚫ The DPF will not regenerate when the engine management light is on or when there
is a faulty EGR valve.
⚫ The ECU must be re-adapted when replacing the DPF and when topping up the fuel
additive Eolys.
⚫ If the vehicle needs to be driven in order to perform a DPF service, a second person
is required for the function: One person should drive the vehicle while the other
person observes the screen on the tool. Do not attempt to drive and observe the
tablet at the same time. This is dangerous and puts your life and the lives of other
motorist and pedestrians at risk.
5.6 Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) Service
This function allows you to quickly look up the tire sensor IDs from the vehicle's ECU and
to perform TPMS replacement and reset procedures after tire sensors are replaced.
5.7 Immobilizer (IMMO) Service
An immobilizer is an anti-theft mechanism that prevents an automobile's engine from
starting unless the correct ignition key or other device is present. This device prevents
thieves from starting the car by a method known as hot wiring. Most new vehicles have
an immobilizer as standard equipment. An important advantage of this system is that it
doesn't require the car owner to activate it; it operates automatically. An immobilizer is
considered as providing much more effective anti-theft protection than an audible alarm
alone; many auto insurance companies offer lower rates for vehicles that are equipped
with an immobilizer.
