Operator Commanded Regeneration
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2016 Ford Transit-350 HD, 2016 Ford Transit-350, 2016 Ford Transit-250, 2016 Ford Transit-150, and 2016 Ford F-550 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
For vehicles equipped with operator commanded regeneration, the vehicle must be at normal operating temperature, the PCM must have no DTCs stored, and the power take off (PTO) must be disengaged (if equipped). The message center will display the exhaust soot load as a percentage, indicate the exhaust is full, or indicate the exhaust is overloaded. When the exhaust is full, the message center will allow the operator the option to command a manual regeneration. Additionally, operator commanded regeneration may be cancelled at any time by pressing any pedal or shutting down the engine.
