DESCRIPTION
The DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) is controlled by the ECM to activate the forcible regeneration function automatically. However, depending on driving conditions, the forcible regeneration function may not be activated. In such a case, the indicator light on the combination meter assembly and the DPF switch light blink to inform the driver. When the DPF switch assembly is pressed with the vehicle stopped, RGSW signals will be input into the ECM and the forcible regeneration function will activate.
If the vehicle continues to be driven without performing forcible regeneration while the indicator light is ON, a buzzer intermittently sounds to inform the driver.
Tech Tips
If the buzzer intermittently sounds, the brake vacuum warning switch may have been turned on.
In this case, inspect the brake vacuum warning switch circuit first.
