Hi,can anyone explain to me how to do a forced regen of DPF on Forscan ?

I have completly forgotten how I did it before thanks

Battery needs to be well charged, engine needs to be at full running temperature (recomend a 20 minute drive)

Connect FORScan

Select Maintenance

Then start manual regen

Follow instructions on the screen to the letter

Just to clarify, he means the laptop battery needs to be fully charged so there's no risk of it cutting out while running the regen program.

If the car battery wasn't charging during a 4000rpm static regen then the DPF isn't likely to be the priority.

Make sure you've got plenty of fuel in the tank as well.

 

I don't know if this is necessary as well, but when doing a long Service Procedure with a Laptop or Phone I temporarily disable the setting that shuts down the screen/puts it to sleep as well.

It might not shut down if FORScan is running without touching any keys, I don't know, maybe someone more Tech savvy will know.

That is a very good point you make John, I did have my laptop screen saver start up while I'd left FORScan connected and when I moved the mouse pad to clear the screen saver, FORScan had just froze. Luckily it was only monitoring the DPF at the time so no harm done.

Thanks for all the help

When just Monitoring with the phone version I think the App prevents the phone from sleeping although when doing long monitoring I normally touch the power button to kill the screen to save my Battery and FORScan keeps working, and has done for in excess of half an hour, and wakes up the screen if I touch the power button again.

It looks like the Laptop version does not do that, Interesting to know.
