Chevrolet/GMC DURAMAX Diesel - 2013 - CRC - 5/29/12
Driving and Operating
9-51
Prolonged or Extended PTO
Operation
While operating the vehicle in
stationary PTO mode, the Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF) will continue
to filter the exhaust and accumulate
soot. The engine control system,
depending on the speed and load
being applied by the PTO, may not
be able to generate enough energy
or adequate heat needed to clean or
regenerate the DPF. Continued
operation under conditions that do
not allow effective regeneration or
cleaning will eventually plug the
DPF and result in reduced power.
The ENGINE POWER IS
REDUCED Driver Information
Center (DIC) message and
malfunction indicator lamp will be
displayed, and dealer service will be
required to return the vehicle to
normal, full power operation. To
prevent this from occurring,
frequently monitor the vehicle during
PTO operation. If the DIC message
is displayed during PTO operation,
see
Diesel Particulate Filter on
page 9

for information on how to
clean or regenerate the DPF. Also
