First time I've seen this!

I don't know, I just know I have never seen that message on my EVIC. Perhaps you only see that message when your truck is shut down prior to completing an active Regen after so many times? Watching mine go through complete regens as many times as I have through my Scangauge and never seeing a message on my EVIC tells me something is off here...

I think the EVIC message is more common on the 2013-2014 models. The 2015+ have improved software.

The flashes on the 2013-2014 are helpful, but not a complete fix.... especially since an owner might go 12-16 months before realizing a flash is available

I’ve never shut my truck off during a regen.

My truck is a 14. I think J's is a 15 or a 16.

Thanks for posting Bob's experience.

His trigger for ending Regen doesn't really mesh with what your scangauge is telling you. He says trigger for start of regen is 4g/liter and trigger to end is 2g per liter.
You said your scangauge registers near 0% when regen stops. Seems like something is different between scangauge and witech?

What Bob posted in his 2014 would be nearly impossible with what I have experienced on my 2013. But I am interested in hearing more about this and learning what is happening with the DPF and regen.

This is what seems inconsistent with Bob's info.:
My truck has gone through several EVIC messages regens in the same drive. It counted down from 100% to 70%. And then 5 mins later without even shutting down the truck, it gave me the 100% to 70% count down AGAIN! It has done this twice in the almost 5 years i have had it. So, there is no way that it met the trigger to stop regen and then doubled it's soot (from 2g to 4g) in 5 mins of hwy driving to trigger another start of regen.

What I have experienced is more like what JHenderson has described. That there is a timer for the 100% to 70% count down. Because it always seems to count down for about 15-20 mins no matter what speed I am driving. And it always gives a "regen complete" message after 70% on the EVIC. And then, twice it has repeated regen again! With full EVIC count down.

Maybe the EVIC count down has completely different programming than the background regen events?

Last October (2017) in one week, my (EVIC) DPF went through 4 regens in one week (4 separate EVIC messages). Then it started a 5th and gave me a whole different message saying that the DPF was full of soot... See dealer. The dealer did a stationary regen and loaded a flash that updated my PCM.. it is likely that Bob uploads flashes to his truck immediately when they are released. Whereas, most of us don't know when a flash is available so we wait a year or more to get our flashes. Or maybe my truck was running completely different programming than yours and Bob's?

This "see dealer" message was a month after evacuating and driving 1200 miles for Hurricane IRMA. We did get stuck in idling traffic in the way out of town and it took us 8+ hours to drive what would have normally taken 2+ hours because the roads were clogged with evacuees. But 1000 of the approx 1200 miles were driving 70 mph. Yet, a month later I have an EVIC message to see the dealer due to a clogged DPF? They did a stationary regen.... used up about a quarter to 3/8 tank of fuel, and flashed the PCM.

Just noticing that my truck has a history if behaving differently than both yours and Bob's. Some of it might be due to different updated software? I don't think I have seen a EVIC message count down since last October. So maybe that last software update has solved my problem. I do know when I took the truck in for it's first free oil change in Dec 2013, the dealer told me there were about 2 hours of flashes it needed and the dealer who sold me the truck was negligent in not properly updating the truck before delivery In Sept 2013.

I never know when my '17 5500 is in regen; no noticeable signs, sounds, smoke, IVIC messages, nothing. I know I'm using DEF though, about 25 gallons in 9K miles. I never received a message on my 2009 4500 either, but I had an EGT gauge on it and could see higher EGTs when in regen. I believe the C&Cs have different regen programs from the pickups too. Not sure I'm going to install an EGT gauge on this truck since I'm keeping it stock. Just thought I would bounce this off y'all from what I'm seeing. Take care, Ron

You can install a monitor and still keep it stock. It’ll plug into the OBD11 port and give you all the readings you need.
