These also won't regen if the aircon isnt working. They rely on both fans to be running during regen, if the aircon is out of gas or the fan is seized/blown fuse, they usually fail a regen.

Another great video. So the car was dropped in for an oil change and causec mechanic didnt reset the oil count the car wouldnt do a regen and caused the fault ? Thats desperate. Fair play for highlighting this kinda stuff

That little compressor gets some stick 😂 as always great videos

I miss the cortinas and sierras change the oil and filter away you go...none of that being blinded by science carry on.....

A great video jimmy, fair play. It's a great wonder the customer never reset the oil light themselves as I'm sure they would get a reminder light on the dash

That was an easy fix again. All i get are headaches of jobs. I've just changef a dpf because he kept driving it with it full untill the back pressure just broke it to pieces.

A great video of a not so great implementation of the service reminder and some other functions...

Another great video Jimmy,

I miss the Blond in the T shirt!

How on earth, step by step, second by second, did you get the oil reset to appear!??!?! I've spend HOURS using that button. I have the exact same model as this accord.

Top job once again Jimmy!

How most cars regen the DPF is by injecting diesel in the exhaust stroke. However, that ends up with diesel sticking to the cylinder wall, which ends up going into the sump... meaning oil is diluted. Not a massive problem... unless there are excessive regens, especially when it fails to regen and has to try again and again. Diesel doesn't lubricate and leads to engine failure, hence why if you don't reset the engine oil service, it doesn't do any further regen as the engine oil will be too diluted. Not ideal. PSA engines use EOLYS fluid so it doesn't need post injection as much (hence crucial to use genuine EOLYS not PAT fluid!). Ford eventually moved to the diesel injector in the exhaust stream instead of EOLYS. The rest are still post injection which is a terrible system.

First of all: thank you for this and many other videos. Maybe a silly question though, but why was I able drive my car for 3 years without any dpf problems, replacing oil/servicing myself without resetting anything? 3 years ago, I've bought 2010 Honda CR V 2.2 i-dtec. Only recently I'm having DPF problems (exactly the same as in the video). Two forced regens later back in limp mode with DPF and excamation mark/"check the system" warning. No "check the engine light". So what could stop my car's ECU from initialling "normal" regens during driving as before? My driving style hasn't changed, but even so, according to the manual, car should give me DPF symbol WITHOUT excamation mark, prompting me to take the car for the "blast" on motorway. No such thing, it went straight into limp mode and "take me to the garage" warning. Strangely enough it all started about a week after I've replaced cracked EGR pipe (apparently common ailment). Also, recently (can't remember if it was before the DPF saga started), I had air con malfunction (blown relay that I've promptly replaced - another apparently common issue which also happened on my previous car, Honda Civic). First forced regen was performed in the garage that told me sqarely that they don't know much about Honda - regen seemed to solve the problem, so happy days - for about a month. In the meantime, I've watched a bunch of O'Rileys videos, so this time I took my CR V to authorised HONDA garage. I gave them all possible info hoping that "pros" will solve this once and for all. What a mistake. I still cannot forgive myself. All they did was another forced regen. They didn't give me any explanation about the problem or answer any questions. I was just told that this was the last regen and if it'll happen again, the car will need new DPF. And they charged me three times more than the first garage. My car is in limp mode again. Next week it's booked with yet another garage (independent one) that seems to know thing or two about DPFs. But they already hinted at cancelling DPF... I still believe that something prevents ECU from initiating normal regens, and this is the problem and not "faulty" DPF. Just can't get my head around the fact that all this could be caused by not resetting service minder/oil dilution (which I cannot find anywhere in my car's options or even in the manual). I saw youtube videos of US version of CR V having oil quality reset option readily available in vehicle's menu among other usual options. Apologies about the rant, but I'd really like to find some logical explanation of all this DPF malarkey...😅

Well done Mr 😎

I just put sea foam in my Movano van as it was smoking seems to be less now

What do you make of the Honda Accord over all for a saloon of that age for reliability?? I'm looking at a 12-141 saloon and thinking it's the best!?!

Hi I have a similar problem with my Honda crv , I took the DPF off and presser wash it , we don’t have Dpf cleaner is South African so I removed it and cleaned is , my Q is Do I have to reset the dpf with a scanner?

You can reset it from the steering wheel button below the cruse control, says SEL/RESET on it. You reset B which is the fuel filter, you needed to reset A.

Hi Jimmy, what is the best scan to for bidirectional test and ECU programming online and off-line? Would you recommend

For the life of me I can't get this service or oil life to come up on my dash like you did.. My cars also a 2012 Accord idtec and I have the dreaded DPF check system light on. Any other tips to get this message to come up so I can reset it...?? 😊

Scanner make please
