NOTESConditions for applying fault finding procedures to stored faults:
The fault is declared present after the engine is started or following a road test.
Special notes:
If the fault is present:
– the special Regenerate particle filter warning light is lit or a warning message is
displayed on the instrument panel,
– A specific kind of driving is required to bring about regeneration of the particle filter
when driving.
Priorities when dealing with a number of faults:
Firstly, deal with the following faults:
–DF308 Particle filter clogged if it is present or stored.
–DF311 Failed regenerations limit exceeded if it is present.
–DF315 Particle filter diff* pressure sensor if it is present or stored.
–DF717 Particle filter upstream pressure if it is present or stored.

– Note the parameter index on the order of repair with the relevant mileage value.
E.g.: PR787 = 2794 miles (4657 Km).

1. No particle filter regeneration.

– Mileage of the last DF312 Speed request.
– Mileage of the last failures.
– Engine statuses of the last failures.
E.g.: PR787 = 2794 miles (4657 km); PR801 = 2760 miles (4600 km); engine status = STOPPED
3. Interpretation of the values written on the repair order by the service advisor for the customer:
Before the last time the particle filter warning light or message came on (appeared at the Mileage of the last
DF312), the customer had not respected the driving recommendations: the failure that occurred at the Mileage of
the last failure is due to the engine being switched off.
4. Explain to the customer the procedure to turn off the warning light, making use of the parameters noted in the
repair order: see PART D.

PART D
Procedure to switch off the Particle filter message or warning light on the instrument panel
Certain types of driving can trigger illumination of the particle filter warning light or message, and activate fault
DF312. The customer must carry out a specific driving operation (cf. vehicle user manual) that consists of:
1. When the engine is warm, drive at a speed greater than 48 mph (80 km/h) for 2 minutes to trigger the
regeneration procedure.
2.Keep driving at an average speed of 48 mph (80 km/h), until the "particle filter" warning light or message on
the instrument panel goes out. In order for the procedure to succeed, it is necessary to drive without stopping
the engine or leaving the engine running at idle speed for an extended period of time. The regeneration time
depends on the vehicle and driving conditions but should last for 20 minutes maximum.
If regeneration fails when driving (the warning light does not go out or the service warning light comes on), check
the exhaust pipe for leaks or blockage. Repair if necessary. Proceed with an After Sales regeneration. Run
command SC017 (see Interpretation of commands).
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
