DPF Regen techstream

[PaulyLS400]

So I to fix the P2002 light I managed to install the Techstream software and drivers and also get it to recognise the vehicle. Scanned the system and of course, the P2002 particulate filter blocked code appears. If I try to clear it, it immediately comes on again so I leave it. 

Move on to clearing the DPF. PM status currently 'Block' as you would expect. Click the right arrow on Activate DPF PM to switch on but the main status remains on 'Ready', never switches on. Held revs at 2000rpm and EGT reached 200 degrees. Am I missing something?? Indicator just 'Ready'. Held revs for 15 minutes, no smoke, nothing. Any ideas???

You are probably going to have to drive it.

If I remember correctly, you need to get the DPF exhaust temperature over 640C to burn off the excess carbon.

Yes, you have to drive it. Once the engine temp reaches the mid range the exhaust temps tend to be close to about 500C and the regen cycle will start. Just drive it normally, no need to rev hard or anything like that from my experience.

I know there must be a way to do a stationary regen but I have yet to discover how to do it.
