It's Tuesday Tip, Diesel Tech Edition! 🔧 A clogged diesel particulate filter triggers a regen cycle to burn off accumulated soot. When active or passive regen fails, a forced regen using a scan tool is the next step. But if the underlying cause, a faulty temp sensor, a fuel injector issue, or an EGR problem, is not addressed first, the DPF will clog again. Diagnosis before regen is what separates the tech from the part-changer. 🚛
