Which Panel Will The DPF Filter % Full Show On?
I am trying to work with my dealer on getting the DPF % Full screen activated through IDS as it was on my 2015.
Can someone who has had this successfuly done on their 2017 post a picture of the screen?
I presume nothing else is lost in the activation of the panel.
Thanks

Yes you can tell a regen is happening by seeing mpg plummet, and the engine also slightly changes tone, and the turbo boost gauge becomes much more active. However, the %Full screen would be much appreciated.

I wish there were 3 things that showed on the Ford screens without getting ForScan:
- Regen in process
- DPF % to indicate when a regen may be needed/ due
- % oil life remaining.
They already have that nice engine screen that shows hours, idle time, oil temp. Seems like this would be a great place to add a couple columns for these details.

Seastacker, those three things would make me happy as well.
If you don't want to get into the deep detail of the full FORScan software, there is a FORScan lite app you can get on your smartphone. You can pair that with a relatively cheap ($20) wifi OBD2 transmitter you can pick up from Amazon that plugs into your OBD2 port, and it allows you read pretty much any available PID/sensor within the truck and monitor it through your phone. You can even chart the readings.
I use the app to monitor my exhaust gas temps, engine coolant and oil temps, DPF soot percentage, regen status, miles between regens, etc. Here's a screen shot of my monitors from my phone

Also. There isn't a oil life percentage? I thought their is? How do you know when to change the oil?
