DPF Warning Lamp / Limp Mode Active
Diagnosis & fix steps
LOGIC: Diesel Particulate Filter Soot Accumulation Too High.
ACTION: Check exhaust fuel addition injector (5th injector) for carbon clogging. Inspect differential pressure sensor lines; execute manual DPF regen via scan tool.
Red Seal field insights
Vaporizer Clogging: The 5th injector fails to inject atomized diesel upstream of the DOC, preventing exhaust temperatures from reaching the 600°C needed to burn soot.
