OEM or customer selected inhibit feature is preventing active regeneration during vehicle operation

Check the aftertreatment system inhibit feature with INSITE™ electronic service tool. Change the vehicle route and/or duty cycle so the inhibit feature does not prevent active regeneration or contact OEM/customer about changing inhibit features.

 

Extended operation of engine in low duty cycle, extended idling and/or low ambient temperatures

Check the aftertreatment system trip information with INSITE™ electronic service tool. Low duty cycle applications can possibly require more active regeneration time to keep the aftertreatment system functioning correctly. Change the vehicle route and/or duty cycle to increase the load on the engine in order to decrease the amount of active regeneration time.
