A reference label is included with the driver’s docu-
mentation package initially in the glove box, that ex-
plains the ATS warnings, and actions required to
avoid further engine protection sequences. See
Fig. 9.3.
The regen switch, located on the dash, is used to
initiate a parked regen of the aftertreatment device.
See
Fig. 9.4.
NOTE: The regen switch can initiate a parked
regen only when the DPF lamp is illuminated
(because the engine software is signaling for a
parked regen).
The regen-inhibit switch (optional when available)
provides additional control over the aftertreatment
regeneration process. A driver may decide to use this
feature if they are hauling cargo that should not be
exposed to possible high exhaust temperatures from
an automatic regen. Depressing the regen-inhibit
switch will prevent a regen from occurring during a
drive cycle. After the vehicle has been shut down
and restarted, regens will occur normally unless the
inhibit switch is pressed again. See
Fig. 9.5.
To initiate a parked regeneration, perform the follow-
ing steps.
1.
Park the vehicle away from all combustible and
flammable materials. Chock the tires. Start and
warm the engine until the coolant temperature is
at least 150°F (66°C).
2.
Set the parking brake. If the parking brake was
already set, you must release it, then set it
again.
