CEL DPF

The CEL is still on, it will stay in limp mode until the CEL is cleared.

You could try disconnecting the battery and leaving it for the day then try it again. I believe the ECU is the same one used on the VW Polo TDI, I know some of there control modules memory is cleared by disconnecting the battery and touching the neg and pos terminals together. This drains the capacitors resetting the controls, it works for the body control modules so it could be worth a shot.

I assume there is still no way to clear CEL's or force a regen at home when it decides to go into limp mode?

NOPE, You have to have the dealer clear it. Been there done that 3X in a row within 3 hours usage and 2 months when my tractor was F---ing up with a bad fuel injector.

Did you try clearing the code with a HD Truck scanner?

You need Kioti's proprietary software to clear the code according to my mechanic at the dealership. A standard OB2 reader can clear other codes but not the CEL.

I'd still be interested to see if the CEL clears with the HD Truck scanner when you get it in.

Did you try any other scanner, just to see if issuing the clear code command would work on it? I know some scanners won't clear codes if they don't "see" them, but may be worth a shot.

Normal codes can be cleared by any decent scanner. Hard codes like the "CEL" on a Kioti can only be cleared by a laptop or scanner using their proprietary software. Many people have already tried to do this.

Well, that's a bummer. :thumbdown:

A standard OBD2 scanner is not a HD truck scanner. I hooked it up to a normal scanner and it showed no codes. My understanding is DPF and SCR codes are not on any normal OBD2 scanner, hence the need for a HD truck scanner. I'm trying to get off of the need to take it to the dealer merry-go-round. They claim they can't bring the laptop to me because they need to connect to Kioti's servers to diagnose. I have WiFi where the tractor is anyway, they should be able to connect here too. I call BS, but at this point I have no choice.

I'm interested to see if the HD scanner you bought works.. It's already on my wish list if it does. Does that scanner do forced regens?
