Diesel Particulate Filter Indication/Indicator Light (SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
Type A
When “Soot Accumulation in DPF too high” is indicated
The particulate matter (PM) cannot be removed automatically and the amount of collected PM reaches a specified amount.
After the engine has sufficiently warmed up (engine coolant temperature of 80 °C or more), depress the accelerator pedal and drive the vehicle at a speed of 20 km/h or more for about 15 to 20 minutes to eliminate the PM.
When “DPF malfunction” is indicated
Contact an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
If the vehicle continues to be driven with “Soot Accumulation in DPF too high” indicated in the display, the particulate matter (PM) increases and the indication may change to “DPF malfunction”. If the indication changes to “DPF malfunction”, have the vehicle inspected immediately at an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer. If the vehicle is not inspected and continues to be driven, the engine may malfunction.
When “DPF malfunction” is indicated in the display, the engine output is restricted to protect the diesel particulate filter.
Type B
The warning light stays on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched ON.
The diesel particulate filter indicator light illuminates when the particulate matter (PM) cannot be removed automatically and the amount of collected PM reaches a specified amount. After the engine has sufficiently warmed up (engine coolant temperature of 80 °C or more), depress the accelerator pedal and drive the vehicle at a speed of 20 km/h or more for about 15 to 20 minutes to eliminate the PM.
If the diesel particulate filter indicator light flashes, contact an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
If the vehicle is continually driven as usual with the diesel particulate filter indicator light illuminated, PM increases and the indicator light may start flashing. If the diesel particulate filter indicator light starts flashing, have the vehicle inspected immediately at an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer. If the vehicle is not inspected and continues to be driven, the engine may malfunction.
When the diesel particulate filter indicator light flashes, the engine output is restricted to protect the diesel particulate filter.
