In this article you will find out about how to do an oil change reset on vehicles with a diesel particulate filter (DPF).

How to do an oil change reset on vehicles with a diesel particulate filter (DPF):

This function resets the parameters in the data list for the engine oil quality and the distance to the next oil change. This operation must be carried out when changing the engine oil on vehicles fitted with a Diesel Particle Filter (DPF).

Note: If the vehicle is not fitted with a DPF, the service message reset is carried out only on the instrument.

Parameters in the data list

Engine oil quality: Indicates the level of oil contamination by the Diesel fuel or how much the Diesel fuel has been contaminated by oil piston ring blow by (a phenomenon that occurs after a certain number of vehicle regenerations).

Distance to the next oil change: Indicates the number of kilometers to the next oil change. 

Quick steps for oil reset

  1. First, be sure the key is on, the engine is stopped and the oil change is complete.  
  2. Using the Delphi diagnostic tool, select the Diesel engine system and then the data list. Note: the "Engine oil quality" values and the "Distance to next oil change" in the data list in order to be able to check that they have been reset after the reset procedure. 
  3. Select the "Set" function in the diesel engine system. 
  4. Start the function. 
  5. Switch the ignition off and select "OK." 
  6. Wait approximately 35 seconds for the reset to finish. 
  7. When the reset has finished, switch on the ignition and select "OK." 
  8. Check that the data list has been updated. 
  9. The process is finished.

    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.

    Fuel Injection Diagnostics

    Due to the design of today’s advanced fuel injection technology, electronic diagnostic tools require additional support to accurately trace faulty components – the ECU diagnostic software  can often go no further than failure mode identification, which does not always pinpoint the particular part of the system that has failed and can result in the unnecessary replacement of complete systems. That’s where we come in. We know exactly what is required when diagnosing this technology – after all, the chances are we designed and manufactured it in the first place. So, we’ve developed a range of simple, low-cost, on-vehicle diesel diagnostic tools to help you and your customer save time and money.

    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.
