Perform Service
• Your vehicle will require emissions maintenance at a set interval. To help remind
you when this maintenance is due, the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) will display “Perform Service”. When the “Perform Service” message is
displayed on the EVIC it is necessary to have the emissions maintenance
performed. Emissions maintenance may include replacing the Closed Crankcase
Ventilation (CCV) filter element, and cleaning of the EGR Cooler. The procedure for
clearing and resetting the "Perform Service" indicator message is located in the
appropriate Service Information.
Exhaust System — Regeneration Required Now
• “Exhaust System—Regeneration Required Now” will be displayed on the EVIC if
the exhaust particulate filter reaches 80% of its maximum storage capacity.
Exhaust Filter XX% Full
• Indicates that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is approaching full.
Exhaust System — Regeneration in Process Exhaust Filter XX% Full
• Indicates that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is self-cleaning. Maintain your
current driving condition until regeneration is completed.
Exhaust System — Regeneration Completed
• Indicates that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) self-cleaning is completed. If this
message is displayed, you will hear one chime to assist in alerting you of this condition.
Exhaust Service Required — See Dealer Now
• Regeneration has been disabled due to a system malfunction. The Powertrain
control Module (PCM) will register a fault code and the instrument panel will
display the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL).
Exhaust Filter Full — Power Reduced See Dealer
• The PCM derates the engine in order to limit the likelihood of permanent damage
to the after-treatment system. If this condition is not corrected and a dealer service
is not performed, extensive exhaust after-treatment damage can occur. Have your
vehicle serviced by your local authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
See your authorized dealer, as damage to the exhaust system could occur with the
exhaust filter full.
