Okay guys, you'll chuckle out of this one!...
So, my fiance asked to drive the truck one morning last weekend, and she rarely drives it. Later that day, we jump in the truck and start driving and I do my usual cycling through the instrument panel cluster (IPC) for information and noticed she returned the truck in the middle of a regen cycle that she didn't know she triggered on her drive time in the truck earlier in the day (I still have to teach her everything about this diesel).
Well, during this next drive, the regen resumed and starting cleaning the DPF again, down to 25% until we got where we were going and I parked it and said who cares, she already interrupted this regen once. Got back in the truck after I dropped her off for some shopping and started it up, then proceeded to drive and the active regen resumed and cleaned the DPF down to 0%.
So, not one but two engine restarts during that active regen and it still completed down to 0% Full. Interesting thing is, my last several regens would stop when I got down to 10% Full and I track that behavior starting when I disabled Active Regen in the IPC to defer a regen until I could get 20 mins of highway miles to clean the DPF.
So, when I initially discovered she parked during an Active Regen I had to tell her that is why I don't let her drive the truck until she is ready for me to teach her all about how to operate the truck. Of course, this message was not delivered as smooth as it could have been (so I freaked out on her!). Then an hour later I have to eat crow when I thank her for what she did because her actions "reset" the Active Regen to complete at 0% Full, and this has been the case ever since (several regens later and still going all the way down to 0%).
Anyway, interesting story that I had to share!
