If the charge warning lamp ( ) on the instrument cluster comes on while driving, there is a
malfunction in the charge system including the battery. Therefore, carrying out the system check is
needed.
(4) Maintenance
Make sure that the battery cables are firmly connected.
If the terminals are corroded, clean them with a wire brush or sandpapers.
Always disconnect the battery cables with the ignition key removed. When disconnecting the battery
cables with the ignition key turned to ON or ACC position, several electric units can be damaged
due to sudden voltage change.
Check the battery for crack, damage or fluid leaks. Replace it if necessary.
Wipe out the battery fluid on the battery surface using a rubber glove and a clean cloth wetted with
soapy water. -

2. CAUTIONS
Standard pattern of soot accumulation
(1) Abnormal Soot Accumulation (2) Normal Soot Combustion
Cautions to protect the catalyst filter
Use the designated fuel only.
Observe the recommended service intervals of engine oil.
Check the engine oil level frequently and add if necessary.
Do not idle the vehicle unnecessarily.
Do not turn off the engine while the vehicle is running.
Do not shift the gear selector lever to neutral when going downhill.
Do not use improper engine oil or fuel additives.
Do not drive for a long time when the warning lamp is illuminated.
Make sure no flammable material, such as dry grass or tissue paper, contacts with the catalyst filter
while the vehicle is parked.
For the vehicles used in urban traffic, driving on the expressways for more than 1 hour at least once
per week is needed so that the PM inside CDPF isn't collected to one side only. -

The CDPF system enters the regeneration mode
when the driving distance becomes approx. 600
to 1,200 km (may differ by the driving condition
and driving style). Then, the engine ECU
performs the CDPF regeneration operation.
However, the driver is not informed with this
operation by any engine warning lamp or vehicle
signal, so he/she may not detect this operation.
The control logic at the post-injection dur-ing the
regeneration process is to increase the fuel
injection volume and control the intake air volume
(by the throttle body) in order to increase the
temperature of the exhaust gas. The driver may
not feel any particular difference from the vehicle.
Overload of CDPF (warning lamp blinking)
(3) Warning Lamp Related to CDPF
CDPF regeneration process (warning lamp NOT illuminated)
If the CDPF cannot reach the regeneration temperature due to low speed driving or other reason
during the regeneration process, the soot is continuously accumulated in the CDPF. When this
condition continues and the CDPF is overloaded with soot, the engine warning lamp blinks to inform
this situation to the driver.
In order to solve this problem, drive the vehicle at a speed of approx. 80 km/h for 15 to 20 minutes to
perform the CDPF regeneration process.
If the engine warning lamp on the instrument cluster blinks, the CDPF is overloaded. In this case,
perform the step 2. 1.

Excessive overload of CDPF (warning lamp illuminated)
If the vehicle is driven at a speed of 5 to 10 km/h for an extended period of time, the soot
accumulated in the CDPF cannot be burned as the CDPF cannot reach the regeneration
temperature. Then, an excessive amount of soot can be accumulated in the CDPF.
This case is much worse than the simple over-load of the CDPF. To inform this to the driver, the
engine warning lamp comes on and the engine power is decreased to protect the system.
To solve this problem, blow soot between the engine and exhaust system several times and erase
the related DTC. Then, check if the same DTC is regenerated again. If so, check the DTC related to
the differential pressure sensor. 1.

Actually, the DTC for the CDPF is generated more often by the component related to the CDP
F
system, such as the differential pressure sensor, than by excessive soot in the CDPF.
