      No diesel car I have had with DPF illuminated the warning light when a regen took place. On average 3-400km is normal for a regen. The regen light is normally only on when there is a problem (regen needed but cannot take place or doing a forced regen with a scan tool)

        If it needs to regen every 3-400 Ks how many Ks before it needs replacing ?

          I thought the regen only happens when it hasn't had a good run to clean out the DPF.

            I was thinking the same krypto, and that is why am am concerned that it is running so often

              Regen is the only process that cleans the dpf. It gradually blocks as you drive, until the difference in pressure between its inlet and outlet becomes great enough for the ECU to decide to "do a burn" basically dumping excess fuel into the exhaust, raising the revs and on engines with flaps (exhaust brakes) closes them.

                I am tracking this everytime it happens, and will be reporting to Toyota at my 10K service, as I have spoken to the Service Manager, and he is trying to tell me it is normal.

                30-Oct-15 - 4386 km - let it complete DPF burn
                1-Nov-15 - 4696 km - engine turned off during DPF burn
                2-Nov-15 - 4700 km - let it complete DPF burn
                2-Nov-15 - 4704 km - let it complete DPF burn

                This seems a little excessive to me ;-)

                  Perfectly normal!!! Please get a life and enjoy your Prado. The only things to be concerned about with this are is the oil or fuel consumption high? If the answer is no then the DPF is doing its job! If you want less regens drive the car faster and do less city mileage! Simples! Please leave this poor Service Manager alone he probably has many more customers who actually have real problems with their cars!

                      Going by what Brad said earlier, my rough calculations tells me that he does a 20min run on the freeway twice a day.

                      Is that not enough for a regen?

                        Thanks for your awesome insight Scruffy, so helpful i do not know what to say !!

                        Due to the travel that I actually do, I would not expect to see the regen this many times, on a normal day I do a MIN of 40km of Highway drive plus 20km of 60-70km/h and this is each way. I don't do city driving at all.

                        And as per the blog posted by snapper
                        How can I ensure that the DPF regeneration process completes successfully?
                        By creating frequent opportunities for the ECU to complete its normal regeneration programme. Quite simply, this means regularly driving the car at a sustained speed above 40mph (60km/h) for a period of at least ten minutes.

                          So it's doing a minor regen every 300-500Km, that is perfectly fine from what I've seen in trucks, buses and cars. The only oddity is the two regens after stopping the vehicle in the middle of one, but I always advise customers to never shut the engine down in the middle of a regen, it causes the computer to do funny things. Fuso Rosa buses are the worst for this, they crack the shits big time if you shut them down in the middle of a burn. I do think you're stressing too much about it at this stage.

                            Just found this on the net, it's from the UK Automobile Association and it might explain why the regen isn't occurring, interesting reading.

                            We're seeing some evidence of DPF systems failing to regenerate even on cars used mainly on motorways.

                            On cars with a very high sixth gear the engine revs may be too low to generate sufficient exhaust temperature for regeneration. Occasional driving in a lower gear to maintain around 2,000rpm should be sufficient to burn off the soot in such cases (refer to the vehicle handbook).

                              Thanks Mick,
                              That is a good read, I found it earlier today also.
                              In 6th gear I sit at about 2300 rpm, but might try not using 6th for a while and see if it makes a difference

                                Brad,

                                2300 rpm in 6th at what speed ? I thought the diesel with a six speed would be revving less than that.
