The best thing you can do is go for a 20 mile motorway run. What is it? This requires a constant speed of at least 37mph to be maintained for up to 15 minutes.

The owner should then follow the driving instruction explained in the owner’s manual to help clean the system.

When you locate a diagnostic reader capable of reading the status of the DPF system, you will require the information below to correlate to your diagnostic tool reader data.Ī) At less than 7g the DPF system will automatically clean itself whilst driving once the DPF is up to correct operating temperature.ī) At 7-11g the system will attempt to clean itself whilst driving regardless of DPF temperature.Ĭ) At 11-15g the system will alert the driver by blinking the DPF warning light on the dashboard. I'd like to do this so I'm not driving excessive mileage out of paranoia that a regen is possibly due-as well as to ensure I'm not under-doing the mileage and heading for another Limp Mode scenario.īasically, if I can't get a better way of seeing what is going on, then the car will probably have to go. There are clues in some adverts for OBD2 readers that you can look at DPF status info, but it's not clear if this would work (be compatible) with a Honda or not. I feel if the dealer can read the DPF PM level from the car's onboard diagnostics then I could also benefit from seeing this info-hence keenly seeking a device to read engine management diagnostics. It first had a DPF blocked status ~2 weeks after driving Edinburgh to Liverpool and back in Dec/Jan, bizarrely. The Honda didn't give us any issues for the first 14 months / 18K miles we've owned it either-just the last 4-6. Mind you, our previous car, a Hyundai ix35 1.7 CRDi (revised 2013 model) never gave us this issue (owned 4 years / ~12K miles per year), and it is well within the era of mandatory DPF. It certainly looks this way at the moment. Car has done ~60K miles, FSH.Ĭlick to expand.Agreed. The Limp mode comes on without warning, and my wife is now concerned this could happen when towing the Pony-for which she is wanting rid of the car! I'm told partial re-gens are bad, but we never know when we are in the middle of a regen and ought to drive a little longer-kindof hard to live with this hanging over us. The lack of an indication on DPF health in the standard vehicle instrumentation is frustrating. I'm just keen (esp as an engineer) to see the actual diagnostics from the DPF myself so I can understand what is happening as we drive-and the differences over time depending on the journeys we do. Yesterday the dealer was doing the annual service and gave me a PM reading of 0 gms! This suggests it is working as intended (or the sensor is faulty).

From mid-May till yesterday we did about 1200 miles and had been extending the route back from the pony every few visits (more time on a motorway). In mid-May, some few hundreds of miles later it was needed again even though all our journeys had been in non-existent traffic and mainly the pony visits. But maybe this is not correct understanding.įI, the dealer did a regen at the end of March, just before lockdown.

Once built-up like this, I thought if I do a suitable journey that enables a full regen to activate-and-complete, then I'm assuming that this gets the PM down to 0 again. I have assumed that PM builds up on the low-speed journeys and that the DPF has capacity to do this for 2-300 miles (HONDA dealer reckoned ~300). It does also have some traffic lights/roundabouts, so isn't a constant speed, though most of it is 40-70 MPH roads. There is a (DEALER) theory that regen often starts but does not complete because this journey is just a little short. However, almost every other day we visit our pony (we bought the i-DTEC to tow the pony in a trailer) and it is 12-15 miles each way for this visit. Commute-wise, we do short journeys in traffic (pre-Covid no commuting since end-March).
