How to Use DPF REGEN Graphical UI on Launch X431 Diagnostic Tool?


Launch X431 updated a new graphical interface for DPF regeneration instead of the previous text-based display on some Launch diagnostic tablets. What is the advantage of the new UI? How to use it? Check more details below.

Text-based UI (old) vs. graphical UI (new) for the DPF Regen process on a commercial vehicle (CUMMINS):


Highlight:
The new graphical interface upgrade for DPF REGEN empowers technicians to monitor critical data in real time with enhanced clarity and ease, ensuring the Diesel Particulate Filter operates at peak efficiency. The regeneration process typically takes about 30 minutes, and the new interface allows instant access to key metrics such as speed, temperature, and pressure related to the exhaust aftertreatment system.

Which Launch X431 Diagnostic Tool have DPF Regen graphical UI?
Currently, the X431 PAD5 LINK HD and X431 PRO3 LINK HD scan tools support the DPF Regen feature in a graphical format for almost all commercial vehicles. Additionally, several mainstream passenger cars are supported with graphical DPF Regen on the following X-431 diagnostic tools, including:
· X431 PAD9 LINK
· X431 PAD7 LINK (X431 PAD VII Elite)
· X431 PAD5 LINK (X431 PAD V Elite)
· X431 PRO3 LINK
· X431 PRO3 SE
· X431 PRO SE
· X431 PRO SE LITE
In addition, some CRP/CRE scanners also support DPF Regen.
Including:
· Creader Professional 919S (359)
· Creader Professional 919S Lite (349)
· Creader 909S (349)
· Creader 129S (239)
· Creader 123S (233)
· Creader Elite X and more

How to use LAUNCH X431 Diagnostic Tablet to perform DPF Regen?
General Process Steps:
STEP 1: Connect the diagnostic tool to the vehicle
STEP 2: Select the vehicle engine model
STEP 3: Navigate to DPF Regen function
STEP 4: Start the DPF regeneration process
STEP 5: Monitor the process and ensure it completes successfully

For example: Do DPF Regen for CUMMINS by X431 Scan Tool
STEP 1: Enter the software first.
Path 1: Enter by Vehicle Diagnostic Software
Path 2: Select Service Function>> DPF REGEN

Here takes path 1 as an example.
STEP 2: Enter the CUMMINS diagnostic software and select “System Automatic”.


STEP 3: Select Actuation Test >> Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration to start the process.


STEP 4: Pay attention to the conditions for function execution and possible completion scenarios


STEP 5: Click "YES" for the new graphical interface and "NO" for the old interface.


STEP 6: Main part for various components real-time data streams during execution.


STEP 7: Press “START” button and read the terms for consideration.


STEP 8: Test is running and timing also starts.


STEP 9: Wait a while until the process is completed!


How long does the DPF Regen take?
The complete DPF regeneration process typically takes about 20 to 40 minutes, depending on several factors, including:
  • Vehicle Model:
Different vehicles may have varying DPF designs, engine configurations, and exhaust systems, all of which can affect how quickly the regeneration process occurs. Some vehicles are optimized for faster regeneration.
  • Level of DPF Blockage:
The more particulates and soot accumulated in the DPF, the longer the regeneration process may take. Heavily clogged filters will need more time for combustion to burn off the particulates and restore optimal filter function.
Additional factors influencing the process duration include regeneration type (Active or Passive), the specific diagnostic tool used, vehicle load and operating conditions, ambient temperature, fuel quality, and overall vehicle performance.
