Services Performed
- Confirmed customer concern of the check engine light illuminated on the dash panel. Test drove vehicle and confirmed no drive ability concerns with the engine or transmission at this time. Scanned vehicle. Received codes under manufacturer specific: 111500, 900516, 900D, 901D, 9177, 916B, 90D2, 9005, 9010, 550400, 580400, 9006, 9012, A10D1C. Global OBDII: P2459. Inspected freeze frame data. Inspected live stream data. DPF differential pressure sensor, boost pressure, intake pressure sensor, exhaust temperature sensors, charge temperature sensor, intake air temperature sensor. All numbers are in correct parameters. Ash content is in correct parameters. Due to the numbers, I have no recommendations for parts replacement at this time. The vehicle needs to do a regeneration. For the regeneration to occur, the vehicle needs to be driven at freeway speeds for at least 45 minutes to an hour. The system needs to get hot under load while driving to start the regeneration process.
