How often is a parked regen needed?
The regeneration process takes anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes to complete. During that time your engine RPM will increase, but it will return to normal when regen is done. Active regeneration will be initiated every 300 miles or so depending on how you use your car and will take 5 to 10 minutes to complete.
What is a stationary Regen?
Stationary, or parked, regeneration is the same as active regeneration but takes place while the vehicle is not being driven. This is either driver induced or done with a scan tool. There are times when the driver will need to perform a manual or “parked” regeneration on the side of the road.
What does parked regen inhibited mean?
Some vehicles may be equipped with an ‘Inhibit Switch. ‘ The purpose of this switch is to prevent or disable Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter regeneration. Again, reference the OEM’s Owners Manual for complete operation and use of this switch. Regen Inhibit (switch on right) allows you to cancel or stop an.
What is a forced regeneration?
A forced regen occurs when soot builds up inside the diesel particulate filter (DPF) to the point that the vehicle is no longer operable. When this happens, a driver has to pull over and initiate a self-cleaning process that can take up to 40 minutes — valuable time that could have been spent on the road.

What’s the best way to perform a Parked Regeneration?
The DPF needs to heat up to turn the soot into ash. There are two ways to accomplish this: Run on the highway for a long period of time (>60km/hr) or perform a forced parked regeneration. Moderate Soot Load: If your DPF indicator light is flashing yellow, driving at highway speed is no longer enough.
What’s the best way to do a parking Regen?
Put transmission in neutral (if equipped with an automatic transmission, cycle it into gear and then back to neutral). Air tank pressure must be high enough for the parking brake switch to hold in the OFF position. Set park brake (cycle the park brake OFF then ON for CPC R21 or lower software).
