DPF Malfunction

Want to hear more?

Diesel particulate filter or DPF for short, is part of the exhaust system, and an important component in modern diesel engines, it is used to reduce harmful emissions. When a DPF failure occurs, it can lead to reduced engine performance, and even engine shutdown.

What causes a DPF malfunction?

One possible cause of DPF failure is clogged DPF filters. The DPF filters are responsible for trapping soot and other particles from the exhaust gas, and if they become clogged, this can cause the DPF to fail. Regular inspection and cleaning of DPF filters can help prevent this problem.

Another reason could be faulty DPF sensors. The DPF sensors are responsible for monitoring the condition of the DPF filters and activating DPF regeneration when necessary. If the sensors are damaged, this can cause the DPF to fail. And they should be replaced as soon as possible.

A faulty DPF regeneration is another possible cause of DPF failure. DPF regeneration is a process that helps burn off excess soot and prevent DPF failure. If the DPF regeneration is not working properly, it may need to be serviced or replaced.

If you are experiencing a DPF system failure or have any concerns, it is important to consult a professional for further assistance.
