Introduction
The following Special Instruction must be used to package a DPF for a core return.
Wear goggles, gloves, protective clothing, and a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) approved P95 or N95 half-face respirator when handling a used Diesel Particulate Filter or Catalytic Converter Muffler. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
Note: Whenever the filter is replaced the engine ash model must be reset. Refer to the section below for information on how to reset the ash model.Reset the Engine Ash Model
The engine ash model must be reset whenever the filter is cleaned or replaced. Reseting the ash model places the DPF volume back to the "Clean State". The resetting will allow the regeneration of the DPF to function properly.
Use Cat ET to access the configuration parameters. Select "Service" from the top menu then select "Service Procedures" then select "DPF Ash Service" from the menu in the service tool.
Choose the correct replacement type of diesel particulate filter in the menu that appears. The types of replacements for the diesel particulate filter are the following:
"Field cleaned" A DPF that has been cleaned and reapplied.
"New" A new DPF replacement.
"Remanufactured" A remanufactured DPF replacement.
Once the reset is completed, a log of the reset is captured and visible as a new row of information in the "DPF Ash Service" screen. Resetting the engine ash model does not reset the soot level.
Perform a "Manual DPF Regeneration" with Cat® ET to reset the soot levelPackaging Instructions
