How-to reset the DPF additive level

Share Resource:
Diesel Diesel Systems Fuel Injection Diagnostic How to Technicians 1 min read

Resource Highlights

This function allows counter for the additive level in the tank calculation to be reset. This operation must be carried out only after replacement or topping up of the additive tank as set out in the vehicle service instructions (120 000 km). Always use a new reservoir of the same type.

CAUTION

Diesel additive must not come into contact with the painted surfaces of the vehicle.

DPF ADDITIVE LEVEL RESET STEPS:

Step 1:

  • Jack up the vehicle
  • Disconnect the battery.
  • Loosen the fixing(s) (1).
  • Remove the cover(s) (2).

(see illustration)

Step 2:

  • Remove the dosing pump hose(s) (3).
  • Remove the additive reservoir from the housing (1).

(see illustration)

Step 3:

  • Fit in the reverse order.
  • Reset the level display to zero
  • Refilling using the Delphi diagnostic bench, reset the fill level display to zero.

Step 4:

Select the vehicle as shown in the illustration.

Test conditions

  • Key on, engine stopped.
  • All electrical consumers disconnected.
  • Battery voltage greater than 12 V.
  • Additive reservoir filled or replaced.

Procedure

  1. Start communication with the vehicle and select the "Settings" function.
  2. Follow the program instructions.
  3. Disconnect the diagnostic unit after finishing.
  4. The operation is finished.

If the operation fails, check the test conditions and deal with any fault codes found.

    Electronic Injector Test Kit

    With today’s Common Rail injector technology, it’s no longer sufficient to just measure resistance to check a coil’s health – you also need to measure inductance for an immediate and accurate assessment. Previously separate tools would have been needed for this. Not with our Electronic Injector Test kit. Otherwise known as the ‘buzz tool,’ or part number YDT720, you’ll be able to quickly test the electrical integrity of all makes of solenoid Common Rail injectors on vehicle. The simple,hand-held tool measures the injectors core criteria, allowing you to quickly compare values and identify if any are not within a comparable performance range, or confirm specific electronic failures which may indicate an unrepairable injector. You can also use it in conjunction with our solvent cleaning kit to resolve early-stage lacquering. All with just one tool, saving significant time and cost for the garage.

    HD3000 High Pressure Diagnostic Tool

    Designed for specialist workshops, our patented HD3000, part number YDT840, simplifies the diagnosis of faults with current and future-generation diesel and gasoline high pressure fuel systems, on all vehicle types. With one tool users will be able to safely set and electronically control any pressure testpoint , up to 3000 bar, in order to investigate the full range of pressures and analyse the performance of the fuel injection system – previously this level of flexibility, accuracy and pressure capability could only be achieved with a system-dedicated test bench. Containing an electronic control device, hydraulic block and electrical device, it incorporates multiple dedicated test routines, as well as an IMV cleaning procedure. All this can be achieved without changing any ECU parameter, dismantling the fuel injection system, or taking the vehicle out on a road test – helping workshops save valuable time and deliver faster service turnarounds.

    LP35 Low Pressure Diagnostic Tool

    Designed for the garage technician, LP35, part number YDT810, is a highly precise, ultra-fast, affordable hand-held tester for the low-pressure side of light, medium and heavy duty vehicles. With a single tool, you can perform quick and accurate pressure analysis across a wide range of positive and negative pressures, from minus one through to positive 35 bar -that’s why we called it the LP35. Unlike other entry level equivalents, it’s also compatible with most low-pressure circuits, as well as different fluids, so you’ll no longer need separate negative and positive pressure tools, saving both time and money. Add to this its static and dynamic functionality, and you’ve got a highly versatile, highly capable low-pressure tool.

    Sealed Rail Diagnostic Kit

    Because Common Rail systems operate at extremely high pressures, any loss in pressure will have a knock-on effect on the vehicle – causing a progressive reduction in power and even a complete engine shut down. It is therefore imperative that any such issues are identified and resolved as early as possible. We have just the answer. Our Sealed Rail diagnostic kit, part number YDT850, provides simple, low-cost on-vehicle capability for all makes of Common Rail pumps and injectors. Consisting of a sealed rail pressure tester and injector back leakage measurement equipment, users can check the pressure being generated by a Common Rail pump and identify individual injectors that fail, meaning only faulty components will need to be replaced.
