John Deere ECU003719.14 – ECU: Exhaust Filter Restricted

The diesel particulate filter (DPF) in the exhaust system is restricted with soot to a level where a service cleaning is necessary. This restriction impedes the flow of exhaust gases, causing the Engine Control Unit (ECU) to limit engine power in order to prevent damage and reduce emissions.

1. 1

   Check the machine's CommandCenter or display for service alert and exhaust filter cleaning indicators

2. 2

   Verify that the machine is parked in a suitable, open-air space away from flammable materials, as the exhaust will become very hot during cleaning

3. 3

   Ensure conditions for a parked regeneration are met: transmission in PARK or neutral, park brake engaged, PTO turned off, engine coolant temperature between 140-160°F (60-72°C), and throttle at low idle

1. 1

   Prepare machine for cleaning

   Park the machine in a safe, open-air location away from flammable materials. Lower all implements to the ground.

2. 2

   Set machine conditions

   Place the transmission in PARK or neutral, engage the park brake, turn off the PTO, and ensure the engine coolant temperature is 140-160°F (60-72°C) with the engine at low idle.

3. 3

   Initiate parked exhaust filter cleaning

   Follow the prompts on the CommandCenter or press and hold the designated exhaust filter cleaning switch on the dashboard for several seconds until the indicator light begins to blink or stays illuminated.

4. 4

   Allow automated process to complete

   The ECU will take control of the engine, elevating the engine speed and exhaust temperature to burn off the accumulated soot. Do not interrupt this process, which can take over 40 minutes to complete.

5. 5

   Verify completion

   Once the cleaning is finished, the engine will return to a low idle, and the indicator lights will turn off.

6. 6

   Dealer service or DPF replacement

   If the parked cleaning process fails to resolve the fault, or if the option is not available, the DPF is too restricted and will require service from a John Deere dealer or complete replacement.
