Before performing a forced DPF regeneration using the tool, check the
following items:
The fuel light is not on
No DPF-relevant faults are stored in system
The vehicle has the specified engine oil
The oil for diesel is not contaminated
IMPORTANT
Before diagnosing a problem vehicle and attempting to perform an emergency
regeneration, it is important to obtain a full diagnostic log and read out relevant
measured value blocks.
NOTE
1. The DPF will not regenerate if the engine management light is on, or there
is a faulty EGR valve
2. The ECU must be re-adapted when replacing the DPF and when topping
up the fuel additive Eolys.
3. If the vehicle needs to be driven in order to perform a DPF service, a
second person is needed for the function. One person should drive the vehicle
while the other person observes the screen on the tool. Do not attempt to drive
and observe the scan tool at the same time. This is dangerous and puts your
life and the lives of other motors and pedestrians at risk.
Immobilizer (IMMO) Service
An immobilizer is an anti-
theft mechanism that prevents an automobile’s
engine from starting unless the correct ignition key or other device is present.
This device prevents thieves from starting the car by a method known as hot
wiring. Most new vehicles have an immobilizer as standard equipment. An
important advantage of this system is that it doesn’t require the car owner to
activate it; it operates automatically. An immobilizer is considered as providing
much more effective anti-theft protection than an audible alarm alone; many
auto insurance companies offer lower rates for vehicles that are equipped with
an immobilizer.
As an anti-theft device, an immobilizer disables one of the systems needed to
start a car's engine, usually the fuel supply or the ignition. This is accomplished
