Passive regens occur when the EGT 4 temp is over 575*. It is not obvious at times that regen is occurring.

Once 500 miles from the end of the last active regen is reached, Ford forces an active regen. This is my observance.

Mine always seems to go into Regen when I'm close to Home. I have been told that the Base Model trucks with the 6.7 can be commanded by the Driver to go into Regen anytime. I wonder if those codes to do so could be incorporated into the Higher end trucks programming.

Both the Ford and Edge CTS/CTS2 commanded regens are only while parked. I believe the one by Ford is only an option on "work" trucks, XL and XLT.

I know the Edge CTS and ScanGauge II can indicate regen status. The best predictor is to have your dealer turn on Force Regen = True to display the % DPF Full on the dash. When it reaches 100% or Full, a regen starts shortly after. That is what we look at when we talk about the regen quitting at 25% full. However, that still doesn't say when the regen is done. My CTS has a red light at the top during regen plus I added DPF Status (shows ON or OFF) as a gauge on the CTS because on bright sunny days I have trouble seeing the red light. I am sure the FORScan app will also indicate DPF Status.

Only way to have an indication if regen is finished, it to watch the bars on the instant fuel mileage. If it is high on scale, then finished, if low on scale it is still in regen.

On my 2015 had regens every day for past 6 days pulling hvy 5th wheel. Torque Pro gives you start/stop and EGT temps before,during,after regen. Truck has the optional screen to give you its soot percent figures. Start watching at 95% soot level and can see TP screen for the start of regen. Usually never drops below 35% on Truck Screen. Most EGT temps in mid 700 to low 800's when towing and 1100 to 1200 during regen.
