Diesel Messages
WARNING   WARNING:  When the CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER message appears in the information display, do not park near flammable materials, vapors or structures until filter cleaning is complete.


Message   Action  
CHECK COOLANT ADDITIVE   The coolant additive needs checking.  
CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER   Your vehicle has entered the cleaning mode. Various engine actions raise the exhaust temperature in the diesel particulate filter system to burn off the particles (exhaust soot). After the vehicle burns off the particles, the exhaust temperature returns to normal levels. This message is normal.  
EXHAUST OVERLOADED DRIVE TO CLEAN   EXHAUST AT LIMIT DRIVE TO CLEAN NOW   The diesel particulate filter is full of particles (exhaust soot) and you are not operating the vehicle in a manner that allows normal cleaning. One of these messages stays on until the exhaust filter cleaning has begun, at which time the CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER message displays. We recommend you drive the vehicle above 30 mph (48 km/h) until the CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER message turns off.   The diesel particulate filter continues to fill with particles (exhaust soot) if you ignore this message. The service engine soon light illuminates and engine power may be limited, if cleaning is not permitted. Your vehicle requires dealer service to restore it to full–power operation.  
STOP SAFELY NOW   Your vehicle exhaust system temperature exceeds intended operating range. If this warning occurs, a chime sounds, followed by reduced engine power. The engine shuts down when your vehicle speed is below 3 mph (5 km/h). Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer.  
ENGINE OIL DILUTED   The diluted engine oil needs to be changed.  
ENGINE WARMING REDUCED POWER   Your vehicle will have reduced engine torque until the engine is warmed sufficiently.  
ENGINE TURNS OFF IN XX SECONDS   The powertrain control module intentionally turns the engine off due to your vehicle being in the final 30 seconds of a countdown. The diesel engine shutdown for extended idling is an optional feature.  
ENGINE TURNED OFF   Appears after the 30–second countdown.  
ENGINE WARMING PLEASE WAIT   In extremely cold weather, typically below -15 °F (-26 °C) and if the engine block heater is not utilized, your engine does not respond to accelerator pedal movement for 30 seconds. This restriction allows your engine to circulate the oil properly in order to avoid engine damage.  
EXHAUST FILTER DRIVE COMPLETE   Your diesel particulate filter is clean.  
EXHAUST FILTER CLEANED   Your diesel particulate filter is clean.  
EXHAUST CLEAN STOPPED   The manual operator commanded regeneration process has stopped.  
DPF LOADING OF 50% OR GREATER   Your message center may report a DPF loading of 50% or greater on initial delivery or following service DPF re-set, this is normal.  
EXHAUST FLUID RANGE XXX MI   The distance you can travel before depleting the remaining diesel exhaust fluid.  
IN XX MILES, SPEED LIMITED TO XX MPH EXHAUST FLUID EMPTY   Your diesel exhaust fluid is nearing empty. Your vehicle’s top speed becomes limited in the displayed distance. You must replenish the diesel exhaust fluid to resume normal operation of your vehicle.  
SPEED LIMITED TO XX MPH UPON RESTART EXHAUST FLUID EMPTY   Your remaining diesel exhaust fluid has depleted. Your speed is limited upon restart. You must replenish the diesel exhaust fluid to resume normal operation of your vehicle.  
SPEED LIMITED TO XX MPH EXHAUST FLUID EMPTY   The diesel exhaust fluid is empty. You must replenish the diesel exhaust fluid to resume normal operation of your vehicle.  
ENGINE IDLED SOON EXHAUST FLUID EMPTY   The selective catalytic reduction system detects low exhaust fluid. The engine eventually enters into an idle–only mode. You must replenish the diesel exhaust fluid to resume normal operation of your vehicle.  
ENGINE IDLED - SEE OWNER’S MANUAL EXHAUST FLUID EMPTY   A problem exists with the selective catalytic reduction system. The vehicle enters into an idle–only mode. If the exhaust fluid is empty, you must replenish the diesel exhaust fluid to resume normal operation of your vehicle.  
IN XX MILES, SPEED LIMITED TO 50 MPH EXHAUST FLUID SYSTEM FAULT   The selective catalytic reduction system detects a fault. The vehicle’s top speed becomes limited in the displayed distance starting at 50 mi (80 km) and count down from this point. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer.  
SPEED LIMITED TO 50 MPH UPON RESTART EXHAUST FLUID SYSTEM FAULT   The selective catalytic reduction system detects a fault. The vehicle’s top speed becomes limited upon restarting. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer.  
SPEED LIMITED TO 50 MPH EXHAUST FLUID SYSTEM FAULT   The selective catalytic reduction system detects a fault. The vehicle’s top speed is limited. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer.  
ENGINE IDLED SOON EXHAUST FLUID SYSTEM FAULT SEE MANUAL   The selective catalytic reduction system detects a fault. The engine enters into an idle–only mode. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer.  
ENGINE IDLED - SEE OWNER’S MANUAL EXHAUST FLUID SYSTEM FAULT   The selective catalytic reduction system detects a fault. The engine eventually enters into an idle–only mode. Press OK to override the idle mode. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer.  
FUEL FILTER CHANGE REQUIRED   A fuel filter change is required.  
EXHAUST OVER LIMIT SERVICE NOW   You must have your vehicle serviced by an authorized dealer if approximately two hours after the EXHAUST OVERLOADED DRIVE TO CLEAN message has displayed and you have not driven your vehicle above 30 mph (48 km/h) for at least 20 minutes to clean the diesel particulate filter.   You are responsible for assuring that you operate your vehicle in a manner that allows diesel particulate filter cleaning to occur. Ignoring the EXHAUST OVER LIMIT SERVICE NOW warning message could lead to reduced drivability and customer expense, including damage to the diesel particulate filter. Your new vehicle warranty may not cover this damage.
