Exhaust Filter Cleaning Indicator


The following occurs when exhaust filter becomes restricted:

  • Service alert and exhaust filter cleaning indicators (on dash) are illuminated.
  • Engine power is reduced.

At this time, a parked exhaust filter cleaning is required.

Before a parked exhaust filter cleaning can be completed, the following criteria must be met:

  • Set engine rpm at low idle.
  • Coolant temperature must be above 60°C (140°F).
  • Transmission must be in neutral.
  • Zero ground speed commanded.
  • Park brake must be engaged.
  • PTO must be turned off.
  1. CAUTION: Comply with Clean Exhaust Filter Safely in the Safety section.

    IMPORTANT: Select a suitable space to park the machine and lower all implements to the ground.

    No other machine functions can be used while exhaust filter cleaning is taking place with the machine parked. Excluded from this are functions that are required for an emergency shutdown of the machine.

    Do not start exhaust filter cleaning if the fuel gauge has been showing a low fuel level for a long time.

    A - Parked Cleaning Position

    B - High Exhaust Temperature Indicator

    C - Information Display

    D - Filter Cleaning Disable Switch

    Press and hold the exhaust filter cleaning switch in the parked cleaning position (A) for 5 seconds; LED above the switch will start blinking if all conditions are met. Release, then push for another 3 seconds; the icon should remain lit.

    IMPORTANT: If cancellation of a parked exhaust filter cleaning process is necessary, your best option is to push filter cleaning disable switch (D).

    CAUTION: Only stop engine if absolutely necessary due to heat build up in the engine compartment.



  2. The engine speed elevates to 2200 rpm.

  3. During the parked cleaning process, the high exhaust temperature indicator (B) and the LED above the parked cleaning symbol (A) illuminate.

  4. When the parked cleaning process is complete, the LED above the parked cleaning symbol switch turns off. High exhaust temperature indicator (B) remains on for 30 seconds after completion and the engine speed returns to low idle.

  5. After high exhaust temperature indicator (B) turns off, continue machine operations as normal.

    NOTE: The system defaults to automatic (AUTO) exhaust filter cleaning mode.

    If not returning machine to operation, allow engine time to return to normal operating temperature before stopping engine.

IMPORTANT: If operator disregards indicators and continues to operate machine without allowing a parked cleaning, engine performance is reduced. A service exhaust cleaning procedure by a John Deere dealer is required.
