Do I have to use Windows XP? Also that cable is out of stock ((

Edit - Could you also PM me the software please? I am going to try and source an XP laptop from somewhere

I guess so. At least with some versions of the software.

According to blog.obdii365.com you can use windows 7 or 8 with version 3.102.004 (can't post the link yet)

Most enlightening. Please us posted.

It would very useful if you could compose a post outlining how you reach this point and what it means. Looking at your later screeenshots it appears that there have been several regenerations. Were you aware are that they were taking place?

 

[joooe]

Yes, my goal is to get to know a bit more about DPF's way of operating. This thread is a follow-up of a regeneration interval - there were 500 km between 2 regenerations.
I have an obd2 reader connected to my android 2din and I can monitor temperature with the Torque app. In one trip, during the day the regeneration took place, temperature got to 90ºC faster than normal. That is something to note. Other than that, during regeneration, cooling fan starts working too.

Do I just need that cable and that's it? I don't need the £100 HDS module?

 

[joooe]

Just the cable, yes.

 

[Haltamer]

And the software

Do you still have your copy of the HDS Software files? I've got that cable, funnily enough, but an older version of the software.

It's funny with the regens as my wagon 2.2 IDTEC is going to over 1000 KM between regens

Excellent thread Joooe, very informative

iVE A 2012 2.2 Diesel that has done about 50K and to my knowledge it has never had a regen. It is never used on short journeys. So it would seem unnatural for regens to be taking place at 1000 km intervals.

I do have the Honda software and am keen to have a look at its present condition.

I would appreciate any further knowledge on this subject

Regen will happen no matter the driving style in cars with dpf.

That's not true in my opinion. The car needs to get the heat up before it will kick of a regen. You need to be driving for a consistent period for the regen to complete. You need to drive the car on to get the engine up to a proper temperature for the regen to happen. I know my wagon is doing the regens between 1000 - 1200 km as the fuel consumption will drop and lasts for about ten mins.

I was at around 800 km but I took the DPF out and cleaned it. I would need to get the software to test it for sure but I know when they are happening in the car.

That makes absolutely no sense to me.[emoji53]

What part makes no sense to you? Some of this is in the manual so it's not new

 

[stomper]

For passive regens you need to be doing longish trips every so often and get the engine up to temperature, if you don't then you will get an active regen where the car intervenes and injects fuel into the system.

I've done 1000miles so far and not noticed any regens at all although I am certain they have happened but I do long trips on the motorway.

Maybe the passive regens aren't obvious but active are as more fuel is injected so you notice a dip in economy

The part where you disagree with the statement that regens happen to any car with dpf, then go on how it happens in yours and finally how you mention you took you filter out to clean.
Sorry, but it gets confusing...

My trips to work/home are 15 minutes city driving each way. Car does regen nonetheless.

I disagree with this statement "Regen will happen no matter the driving style in cars with dpf".
if this was the case there would be no dpf issues with stop/start driving in short distances. Take a look on other car forums, the place is filled with DPF issues around people not driving at a constant speed for the DPF to regen or buying a diesel car that does not suit their driving style.

I do think Honda's system is the Civic 1.6 is more tolerant more so than the 2.2, but I do think the DPF will eventually give hassle and the life of the DPF is reduced if you are doing stop/start driving in short distances.

I believe we're reading "driving stlye" differently.

In my view, "style" has to do with how you drive, not how long you drive. That was the idea I read in the phrasing of Jooe. In response to poor1's mention that his car car "never had a regen" in 50K.

It appears you are referring to what I'd call "driving cycle".

In terms of style, regens happen no matter how you drive. In terms of cycle lenght, they do make a difference. Exactly the one you mention, they need a certain temperature and, therefore, a certain distance to be run. DPFs need a certain trip length to regen, no doutb. But the car will always try to do a regen when it needs to, no matter how you drive it. Certainly, if it never gets the chance, he wont.



Still, I'm puzzled by your report about having taken out your filter to clean. How is that?
