Diesel Messages And Warnings — 6.7L
Cummins Diesel Engine
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Messages
The Cummins diesel engine meets all diesel
emissions standards, resulting in one of the
lowest emitting diesel engines ever produced.
To achieve these emissions standards, your
vehicle is equipped with a state-of-the-art
engine and exhaust system. These systems are
seamlessly integrated into your vehicle and
managed by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM manages engine combustion
to allow the exhaust system’s catalyst to trap
and burn Particulate Matter (PM) pollutants,
with no input or interaction on your part. Your vehicle has the ability to alert you to addi
-
tional maintenance required on your vehicle or
engine. The following messages may display in
your instrument cluster display:Perform Service — Your vehicle will require
emissions maintenance at a set interval. To
help remind you when this maintenance is
due, the instrument cluster display will
display “Perform Service”. When the
“Perform Service” message is displayed in
the instrument cluster display it is necessary
to have the emissions maintenance
performed. Emissions maintenance may
include replacing the Closed Crankcase
Ventilation (CCV) filter element. The proce -
dure for clearing and resetting the "Perform
Service" indicator message is located in the
appropriate Service Information.
Exhaust System — Regeneration Required
Now — "Exhaust Filter XX% Full Safely Drive at
Highway Speeds to Remedy" will be displayed
in the instrument cluster display if the
exhaust particulate filter reaches 80% of its
maximum storage capacity. Under conditions
of exclusive short duration and low speed
driving cycles, your Cummins diesel engine
and exhaust after-treatment system may
never reach the conditions required to remove the trapped PM. If this occurs, the
“Exhaust Filter XX% Full Safely Drive at
Highway Speeds to Remedy” message will be
displayed in the instrument cluster display. If
this message is displayed, you will hear one
chime to assist in alerting you of this condi
-
tion
By simply driving your vehicle at highway
speeds for as little as 45 minutes, you can
remedy the condition in the particulate filter
system and allow your Cummins diesel
engine and exhaust after-treatment system
to remove the trapped PM and restore the
system to normal operating condition.
Exhaust System — Regeneration In Process
Exhaust Filter XX% Full — Indicates that the
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is self-cleaning.
Maintain your current driving condition until
regeneration is completed.
Exhaust System — Regeneration Completed
— This message indicates that the Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF) self-cleaning is
completed. If this message is displayed, you
will hear one chime to assist in alerting you of
this condition.
WARNING!
A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you
park over materials that can burn. Such
materials might be grass or leaves coming
into contact with your exhaust system. Do not
park or operate your vehicle in areas where
your exhaust system can contact anything
that can burn.

104GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
Exhaust Service Required — See Dealer Now
— This message indicates regeneration has
been disabled due to a system malfunction.
At this point the engine Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) will register a fault code, the
instrument panel will display a MIL light.
Exhaust Filter Full — Power Reduced See
Dealer — This message indicates the PCM
has derated the engine to limit the likelihood
of permanent damage to the after-treatment
system. If this condition is not corrected and
a dealer service is not performed, extensive
exhaust after-treatment damage can occur.
To correct this condition it will be necessary
to have your vehicle serviced by an autho -
rized dealer. NOTE:
Failing to follow the oil change indicator,
changing your oil and resetting the oil change
indicator by 0 miles remaining will prevent the
diesel exhaust filter from performing it's
cleaning routine. This will shortly result in a
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) and reduced
engine power. Only an authorized dealer will be
able to correct this condition.
Cold Ambient Derate Mode Messages
The vehicle will display messages when a
derate (engine power reduction) is activated to
protect the engine during start up in cold
ambient temperatures.
Engine Power Reduced During Warmup
—
This message will display during start up
when the ambient temperature is between
10°F (-12°C) and -10°F (-23°C).
Engine Power Reduced Up To 30 Sec
(Seconds) During Warmup — This message
will display during start up when the ambient
temperature is between -10°F (-23°C) and
-25°F (-32°C).
Engine Power Reduced Up To 2 Min
(Minutes) During Warmup — This message
will display during start up when the ambient
temperature is -25°F (-32°C) and below.
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine
warm up protection feature that may limit
engine performance after cold starting at low
ambient temperatures. The length of time
engine speed is limited is dependent upon
engine coolant temperature. Engine speed
may be briefly limited to 1,000 RPM after
starting with coolant temperature below
freezing conditions, and may be limited to
1,000 RPM for up to approximately two
minutes under more severe cold conditions.
Coolant Low — This telltale will turn on to indi -
cate the vehicle coolant level is low. Refer to
“Dealer Service” in “Servicing And Mainte -
nance” for more information.
CAUTION!
See an authorized dealer, as damage to the
exhaust system could occur soon with
continued operation.

The hazard lamps will come on to confirm the
vehicle is in Tire Fill Alert mode.
When Tire Fill Alert Mode is entered, the tire
pressure display screen will be displayed in the
instrument cluster.
Operation:
The horn will chirp once to let the user know
when to stop filling the tire, when it reaches
recommended pressure.
The horn will chirp three times if the tire is
over filled and will continue to chirp every five
seconds if the user continues to inflate the
tire.
The horn will chirp once again when enough
air is let out to reach proper inflation level.
The horn will also chirp three times if the tire
is then under-inflated and will continue to
chirp every five seconds if the user continues
to deflate the tire. Selectable Tire Fill Alert (STFA) — If Equipped
The Selectable Tire Fill Alert (STFA) system is an
optional feature that is included as part of the
normal Tire Fill Alert system. The system is
designed to allow the customer to select a pres
-
sure to inflate or deflate the vehicle's front and
rear axle tires to and to provide feedback to the
customer while inflating or deflating the
vehicle's tires.
In the Selectable Tire Fill Alert customer
settings menu in the radio, the customer will be
able to select a pressure setting for both the
front and rear axle tire pressures by scrolling
through a pressure range from XX to 15 psi in
1 psi increments for each axle setting. XX = the
vehicle’s cold placard pressure values for the
front and rear axles as shown on the vehicle
placard pressure label.
The customer may also store the pressure
values chosen for each axle in the radio as a
preset pressure. The customer will be allowed
to store up to two sets of preset values in the
radio for the front and rear axle pressure values.
Once the customer selects the tire pressures for
the front and rear axles that they want to inflate
or deflate to, they can begin inflating or
deflating one tire at a time. NOTE:
The STFA system will only support inflating or
deflating one tire at a time.
The system will be activated when the TPM
receiver module detects a change in tire pres
-
sure. The ignition must be in the RUN mode,
with the transmission in PARK (P).
The hazard lamps will come on to confirm the
vehicle is in Tire Fill Alert mode.
When Tire Fill Alert Mode is entered, the tire
pressure display screen will be displayed in the
instrument cluster.
Operation:
The horn will chirp once when the selected
pressure is reached to let the user know
when to stop inflating or deflating the tire.
The horn will chirp three times if the tire is
over inflated or over deflated and will
continue to chirp every five seconds if the
user continues to inflate or deflate the tire.
The horn will chirp once again when enough
air is added or removed to reach proper
selected pressure level.

190STARTING AND OPERATING
3. While the "Wait to Start" telltale is on, the
instrument cluster will additionally display a
gauge or bar whose initial length represents
the full "Wait to Start" time period. Its length
will decrease until it disappears when the
"Wait to Start" time has elapsed.
4. After the engine “Wait to Start” telltale goes off, the engine will automatically crank. 5. After engine start-up, check to see that
there is oil pressure.
6. Release the parking brake and drive.
NOTE:
Engine idle speed will automatically increase
to 1,000 RPM and engage the Variable
Geometry Turbocharger at low coolant
temperatures to improve engine warm-up.
The engine will not automatically crank after
the engine "Wait to Start" telltale goes off if a
door or the hood is ajar.
If the engine stalls, or if the ignition switch is
left ON for more than two minutes after the
“Wait to Start” telltale goes out, reset the
intake air heater by turning the ignition
switch to the OFF position for at least 5
seconds and then back ON. Repeat steps 1
through 7 of “Keyless Enter-N-Go Starting
Procedure – Engine Manifold Air Tempera -
ture Below 66°F (19°C).”
Extreme Cold Weather
The Cummins Turbo Diesel engine is equipped
with several features designed to assist cold
weather starting and operation:
The engine block heater is a resistance
heater installed in the water jacket of the
engine just above and behind the oil filter. It
requires a 110–115 Volt AC electrical outlet
with a grounded, three-wire extension cord.
NOTE:
The engine block heater cord is a factory
installed option. If your vehicle is not equipped,
heater cords are available from your authorized
Mopar dealer.
A 12 Volt heater built into the fuel filter hous -
ings aid in preventing fuel gelling. It is
controlled by a built-in thermostat.
An intake air heater system both improves
engine starting and reduces the amount of
white smoke generated by a warming engine.
CAUTION!
If the “Water in Fuel Indicator Light” remains
on, DO NOT START the engine before you
drain the water from the fuel filters to avoid
engine damage. Refer to “Draining Fuel/
Water Separator Filter” in “Servicing And
Maintenance” for further information.
CAUTION!
Do not crank engine for more than 25
seconds at a time or starter motor damage
may result. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF
position and wait at least two minutes for the

192STARTING AND OPERATING
3. After the “Wait to Start” telltale goes off,
place the ignition switch in the START posi -
tion. Do not press the accelerator during
starting.
4. After engine start-up, check that the oil pressure warning light has turned off.
5. Release the parking brake and drive. NOTE:
Engine idle speed will automatically increase
to 1,000 RPM and engage the Variable
Geometry Turbocharger at low coolant
temperatures to improve engine warm-up.
Automatic equipped vehicles with optional
Keyless Enter-N-Go – If the ENGINE START/
STOP button is pushed once while in park
with the ignition off and driver’s foot on the
brake pedal, the vehicle will automatically
crank and start after the “Wait to Start” time
has elapsed. If it is desired to abort the start
process before it completes, the driver’s foot
should be fully removed from the brake pedal
prior to pushing the start button again in
order for the ignition to move directly to off.
If the engine stalls, or if the ignition switch is
left ON for more than two minutes after the

switch to the OFF position for at least five
seconds and then back ON. Repeat steps 1
through 5 of “Starting Procedure – Engine
Manifold Air Temperature Below 66°F
(19°C).”
Starting Procedure — Engine Manifold Air
Temperature Below 0°F (-18°C)
In extremely cold weather below 0°F (-18°C) it
may be beneficial to cycle the intake air heater
twice before attempting to start the engine. This
can be accomplished by turning the ignition OFF
for at least five seconds and then back ON after
the “Wait to Start” telltale has turned off, but
before the engine is started. However, exces
-
sive cycling of the intake air heater will result in
damage to the heater elements or reduced
battery voltage.
NOTE:
If multiple pre-heat cycles are used before
starting, additional engine run time may be
required to maintain battery state of charge at
a satisfactory level.
CAUTION!
If the “Water in Fuel Indicator Light” remains
on, DO NOT START the engine before you
drain the water from the fuel filters to avoid
engine damage. Refer to “Draining Fuel/
Water Separator Filter” in “Servicing And
Maintenance” for further information.
CAUTION!
Do not crank engine for more than 25
seconds at a time or starter motor damage
may result. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF
position and wait at least two minutes for the
