Can You Continue Driving with a DPF Regeneration Fault?

[DelJayla]

DPF regeneration fault means you cannot continue driving. Relevant details are as follows: 1. DPF generally refers to the particulate filter installed in diesel vehicles. To comply with the stricter China VI emission standards, automakers usually install a particulate filter in the middle section of the exhaust pipe to improve exhaust quality. 2. When the regeneration indicator light illuminates or flashes, you must safely pull over as soon as possible, engage the parking brake, keep the engine idling, and press the regeneration switch to perform a stationary engine regeneration, which takes about 30 minutes. The DPF fault light clearing procedure is as follows: 1. First, find an open, well-ventilated area to park the vehicle, then start the engine. 2. Locate the 'Regeneration Button' on the center console. After pressing it, the onboard computer will display 'Regeneration Started,' and the vehicle will automatically begin DPF cleaning. 3. During the cleaning process, the vehicle will increase its RPM and idle for about 5-10 minutes. Do not operate the vehicle or turn off the engine during this time. 4. Once the onboard computer displays 'Regeneration Complete, Thank You for Waiting,' the DPF fault light will automatically disappear.
