My vans battery ran flat yesterday, there was no issues with the van until that, today the RAC bloke came and got me going again, but the engine warning light can on, he checked it and three things cam eup, glow plug circuit issue, and P246C, ash accumulation, and P2463 soot accumulated. Whats the best advice, please, call out one of those firms that clean out the system, or get someone to do a forced regen? I took it for a 1 hour drive to recharge the battery and definitely noticed a serious lack of power unlike its normal self. Strange how it happens the same time the battery ran flat.
All great but one more thing to do 😉 next morning check oil level as in forced dpf regeneration injectors spray fuel in wider cone so some of fuel may mix with oil and in that ecoblue engine is rubber belt in oil running oil pump and engine timing. That belt like to loose rubber bits witch end up in oil pickup causing low oil pressure in worse case it snaps due to contaminated oil this type of engines can't be flushed any tec or liquy moly oil flush also reduce life time of timing belt as it's rubber in oil🤔 ... , Same problem like psa 1.2 pure tech.. oil also need to be specific 0W-30 ACEA C2.. , forced regen =new oil for sure
Thank you for this video. I have a question, are there OBD tools at the lower budget end (like max GBP 130-150) with the forced DPF regeneration feature and reseting MIL on the market?
@@mattminich1351 Hey Matt, no, I havent found anything good near that price range. The only device I was interested in, was the iCarsoft US V3.0. But than decided to let the professionals work on my car. I came to the conclusion, that, all those cheap OBD tools dont support such an option as a forced regeneration.
On the Autel scan tool you can reset learned values and agreed, it's not a good idea unless it's a new or physically cleaned DPF. This method can damage the dpf and raise temperatures too high if ever needing to do static regens.
@@sadiagnostics I was thinking that 3 try’s tonight with it sitting at around 2000 rpm just to get it to 80 then it went ok fingers crossed that’s her sorted autel saves the day again. Honestly think they should just come with fords 😂
Personally I’d have at least a half tank fuel in and do over 60 mph in low gears so your revs sits around 3rpm. Also ensure you check your coolant temperature.
Very well explained thank you 🙏
You’re welcome and thank you. 👍
This explains everything I needed to know. Thank you. Is it possible to do a cleaning process on the egr valve?
Thanks, it depends if the egr is permanent or intermittent. Cause most times egr faults are permanent and they need changing. As the egr gets faulty

Yes thanks for advice…
Hi, thank you for your helpful video
I have the same problem, how do I contact you?
where is ur location, I need you to help
Thanks
Hi sorry I don’t do diagnostics anymore thanks
If the static regeneration fails (after 5 attempts) how do I get it to run? I'm using Forscan for diags and it's a Ford smax 2.2 tdci.
Thank you for this video. I have a question, are there OBD tools at the lower budget end (like max GBP 130-150) with the forced DPF regeneration feature and reseting MIL on the market?
Did you manage to find a cheaper tool? Thanks

Forscan £20 for the usb cable and £11 subscription for a year.
Delphi ds150 aliexpress one have regen option for ford till 2014
Would u give me any idea on what to check for on a 2009 ford Mondeo mk4 2litter diesel engine malfunction no error codes are reading
What diagnostic machine are you using?
Ms908s pro now I use another machine which is newer version and that’s called ultra Lite
Cannot force regen a euro 5 atm coz fault codes stored even after replace fuel vaporiser
Good tip to get it to Regen by resetting soot level
Bad tip and bad practice. You only do this when a new DPF or cleaned DPF is fitted. And you do not regen after simply resetting soot levels
On the Autel scan tool you can reset learned values and agreed, it's not a good idea unless it's a new or physically cleaned DPF. This method can damage the dpf and raise temperatures too high if ever needing to do static regens.
How do you reset the soot content
Will bring in restricted mode cause the transmission to slip and go all over the place?
Yes. Auto transmissions generally don't deal well with limited (limp) power. Sort the engine problem out and the box will be just fine.
What kind of scan tool is that? I need to get one of them
Autel Maxisys MS908S PRO
why not clean dpf then run it
I know what the problem is, your steering wheel is on the wrong side!
😀
Having issues getting my van to 80 degrees
Might be because your thermostat is faulty

@@Stephenc4877 that’s good to hear mate and yeh they are a good diagnostic tool.
Whats the best practice for the connect do you need a half a tank to trigger it and over 40mph? Theirs no info on it to get it to regen, Thanks
Personally I’d have at least a half tank fuel in and do over 60 mph in low gears so your revs sits around 3rpm. Also ensure you check your coolant temperature.
So thats what Prince Nazim is doing now!
Never do a forced regen just take it for a drive down motorway
👍🏾
Where is ur location. I need you to help me regenerate my transit.
Rotherham
Dpf and egr delete and a remap jobs a gooden 😂
Yeh that would be next option if this didn’t work but trouble is when you remap most cars they end up smoking like hell.
who is that with you
