I know next week the dealer is installing or downloading I should say the option to show the percentage of full fuel filter and is it also possible for them to install the option for us to do a forced to regen

 

No, there is not an option to add the Operator Commanded Regen. Some say with the screen activated, they get the message to start a regen. I never have got this message.

I have used my Edge CTS2 to do a stationary regen.

 

You have to be 85% or higher, warmed up and in park. Works on my 2012 lariat.

 

Never could get it to work on mine. I will try it today since the truck in at 85%.

 

Let us know if it works. I have been above 85% and kept it going while driving even in city traffic but when I go into park I have no indication it is continuing. Aside from the message when it starts the only way I have ever been able to tell its in regen is if the turbo boost increases and when in park I can't see that increase even when holding the engine to 1500rpm or so. I do have the Exhaust Filter % screen and I haven't seen the # go down when parked. Maybe I just haven't done for long enough.

 

In this same forum take a look at the thread titled "Operator Commanded Regeneration". Sorry I'm not a 13 yr old kid so I don't know how to post the link to that thread here.
One of the posts from 11/2 talks about how to do a manual regen.
I'll try it the next time I am due.

I went to the the specific thread, highlighted and copied the address line from the browser, then came back here and did a paste. Hope this helps.

 

I just watch the EGT's 3 and 4 on my ScanGauge. Obvious when in regen.
