  • I've had the same thing occur occasionally, not often. PDF% will grow quickly 1% every 1km or so, then around 60% (sometimes less), it will drop to the mid 20s and then grow very slowly.

    Once I even had it jump from 6% to over 50%, followed by a DPF regen after just 100Km

    This has happened before the ECU update as well. Then I get some 'normal' PDF cycles.

This is with the 2018 model and only having driven 22000km. Not looking good. Anyone else monitoring the percentage full?

      An update - New firmware behaves wierdly. I have now driven 76km and the percentage was dropping from 60% all the way down to 24%. Be interesting to see where the final 100% full will be in relation to km's travelled.

      Hi Cuda,

      Mine was doing the same thing, even before the ECU update.

      If you could have a look at other posts here, you would be able to find out more about what so called 'PASSIVE REGEN OR RECALCULATION'.

      Cheers,

        So how many KM's have you doen with your vehicle so far? I have since done another 3 forced regens to see if I can improve on the km's before a burn. I've had 3 now around 170km. Hoping to see an improvement now I have smashed the DPF filter with some serious burning.

          The Passive regen isn't real. I've seen the DPF go from 70% back to 10% after leaving it overnight with no heat added in between.

          I'm suspecting that Toyota is finally using the differential sensors for feedback and thats how the percentage full is now worked out. Toyota dealer was unable to provide me with information about the change in the program and if the differential sensors are being used.

          • Experienced my first dpf burn today... car has 6000km I’m sure it’s done it lots when the missus drives it but first time I’ve noticed it happen ?

            was doing some start stop driving and noticed the car was a little louder and the revs were just below 1000rpm at idle when at traffic lights

              My 2018 GXL will clock up 30,000Km in the next week.

              I have logged all full regens that have occurred (88 so far).

              Pre ECU update the regens have occurred mostly after 300km - 370Kms, occasionally hi 200Kms. Regens have taken 6-8Km at 15-30Km/hr, 15-25Km @ city speeds, and 70-100Km @highway speeds. One outlier as mentioned above.


              Post ECU update the few regens that have occurred were after 300-350Kms and one at 230Kms. But the burns have been very quick 10, 21(@ highway speeds), 13 & 6Kms.

              The quick buildup of DPF% from 0-6% to over 50% followed by a big drop is hard the fathom. My one theory is that, when empty, the DPF can soot up superficially very quickly and form a thin barrier which affects the differential pressure, but at some point this soot barrier cant hold back the exhaust pressure and so gets blown out. Thus the big drop in DPF% reading.

                I don't believe passive regen is real either, as I've quite a lot of soot% dropping on Torque, and the highest exhaust temp didn't even go over 400c', which was not hot enough for a passive regen.

                However, I haven't seen such a big soot% drop on my car ever, 70% down to 10%??? The biggest drop I have seen on my car was from high 60% back to low 40%. And also, the soot% stays the same as the read when the engine was turned off, the soot% always drops while the car is moving.

                The regen takes 270-330km interval pre and post ECU update. I haven't picked up any obvious change except the regen now finishes within 10mins mark. The slower I drive, the less time it takes. The max exhaust temp reached 737c'.

                My car is now approaching 20,000km now.

                  I didn't log all my regenerations, but by looking at yours, mine is a quite similar case. my car is approach 20,000 km soon.

                  • @ Cuda when you triggered a manual burn and got the % to drop to zero did you notice that the FB had reverted to 1.00? this is what my FB was on leaving the dealer after the update but after 3 regens before the car was stood up it had risen back to 1.04 so I am wondering if the dealer's update reset it or the fact that the burn reduced the % to zero which doesn't usually happen.
                    We all seem to agree that the burn after the update is faster, so for this to happen the temperatures must be hotter? yet in the short time that I had to monitor after the update my temperatures were fine but I cant honestly say that they were that much higher than before. Bear in mind that I haven't had a problem, I am just curious.
                    As for the "recalculation" what is that all about? why would the % rise quickly after a burn then "reset" to a more sensible level? I think the bloke who wrote this software has some explaining to do!
                    It fascinates me that several owners have asked dealers questions and they don't seem to have a clue how all this works, what is the point of Toyota keeping their own dealers in the dark, let alone their customers?

                    • Another update - Performed 4 manual forced burns and have now travelled 120km and DPF percentage stable and only increasing slowly and currently 48%. I'm thinking if DPF is starting to block then the DPF percentage is unstable and will go up and down without an actual burn taking place. Perhaps it would be prudent for users to force a burn if they start to see this behaviour.

                      Thanks

                      • Further to this saga. After the update the engine appears smoother and quieter and is using about 8-10% less fuel but I have only done about 500 km since the update and installation of the Custom Mode and switch.BUT the one burn was at about 300 km [20-30 km better] and very quick - much quicker in fact. However I did not get the flashing light nor could I get the switch to work. Hmm. Back to dealer and got to see the head tech bloke. He plugged in Tech stream which showed DPF at about 60% [200 km since last burn.] He initiated a burn which quickly bought the temp up to 700 deg. he was able to get DPF to 100% at which point the light flashed and I was able to turn the burn on and off at will ie whole system normal and functioning. It took about 5 mins for the whole burn to occur and DPF back to zero.
                        Now , the interesting part. It did the burn at 1200 rpm [ it is an auto] which he says is the correct idle speed for a burn in Prados and HILuxes manual and auto . I told him that every burn for the last 30000 km had taken place at 900 rpm and I knew of other autos were the same. No explanation for that he said.
                        The key point he said that often you wont see the light flash because in the right driving conditions the burn will occur before the 100% trigger point for the light. If the light does flash a burn will still occur normally but having the switch allows you instigate a burn at a place of your choosing if needed eg away from long grass. I hope this info is of use.

                        • I can confirm in over over 90,000km my idle has never been above 900 (auto) and since custom mode has been activated it will do a burn every (approx) 300km with DPF light flashing. I have also won the DPF switch lottery and will have my switch installed soon. I’ve got to say I’m feeling a bit more confident that Toyota are finally getting on top of the issue.

                          • Well mines going back to Toyota. DPF is definitely playing up. Performed a burn and with 20km DPF is already 30% full. Toyota confirmed that the new firmware uses the differential sensors and feeds this back to determine how full the DPF really is. It will override the algorithm if the value is greater than the calculation. Should know by mid next week if the DPF is defective or blocked. Hoping to get the button installed as well.

                              I think you will find the characteristics of an automatic regen and a manual regen are different. I now have the DPF switch installed and also have custom mode active. This means I can initiate a burn when the PM reaches 28%. I did a manual regen to make sure the switch was working. 260km since last regen so PM would definitely be above 28%. Parked car (in safe spot) select park and handbrake on. When I pushed the switch the Rpm went straight to 2000rpm and DPF light started flashing, after less than a minute the rpm reduced to 1200 and stayed there until the regen was complete after approx 10 mins. When complete idle returned to normal (700) and DPF light extinguished. My understanding is that is how a manual regen should go.

                                That's an absolute shame - especially when you trusted them to purchase a new on over the old thinking they'd have fixed it by now.

                                On another note - got a call from a senior investigator at the ACCC today. They got my details from Toyota, who has been asked to stump up information on DPFs, customer faults and Toyota's response to customer complaints. They chatted and wanted further details - all of which I have still got on file and duly forwarded. So at least they're investigating this now... I had heard they were before, but now I know it's official (albeit I was told it's in the scoping and gathering evidence phase at this stage). The issue appears to be a denial to the customer that anything is wrong, and Toyota fobbing off options such as buying the vehicle back, swapping for a new model, going for a petrol or anything other than keeping the vehicle in for days and days on end as they play around with it.
