Work truck started eith the lights to need a regen and no body knew what it meant. Simple RUclips video and it saved them a trip to the shop. Score!
Glad I could help!
DPF has been clean but I did a force regen but it didn't work and all it show is regen inhibited due to switch
Have a paccar Motor
My wrench light comes on
I have to turn engine off then comes back on
KW say there no code showing it comes on . Any one knows why
Hey whats up i have a 2015 Peterbilt 579 with a Cummins i get the engine and wrench light flashing for about 30 seconds with key on the ON position then goes away when i start truck got an idea what it is?
I cleaned off my battery posts then after I reconnected them, the chk eng symbol with the wrench appeared. Comes on but goes off here and there. Just curious if there is a reset
What if my def light is flashing but my tank is full?? Now I have a stop engine light as well but tank is full
Not mentioned in the video ... My DEF and check engine light came on even though the DEF tank was 3/4 full .. Took it in for service to discover that the DEF was contaminated ... The engine derated slightly but was able to drive my truck over 300 miles to the shop back home ...
How did it get contaminated? Did you fill it at a truck stop or something?
2015 international prostar i have more than half def in my tank and still show def signal .Any idea.
Need a computer to see what the codes are.
My 2014 prostar same.def is full but shows low def sign,yellow triangle 🔺️ sign and check engine.
What is the light to the right? I have that one on. And i smell fumes bad
Hi Buddy!!! Thanks
First of all thank you for providing this very educational video to my point of view.
The permanent red light could have originated by previous emission malfunction ?. What other reason could I miss this Permanent Red Light
Hi I have a 2014 Kenworth with a green engine light code 64255 shutdown overruled??? Any idea what that means. Thanks
Would need to hook up the computer to see. Sorry
Both of my engine lights going down the HWY came on. I stop at a shop so they could check what was going on. They said I have an exhaust leak. They also said it will stop my truck from doing a Region is this true?
Depends on where the leak is in the system.
What's mean a yellow triangle light on freightliner cascadia 2012
Good question, I haven't worked on freightliners for a long time.
If you fill it up and it's still blinking what next
Check engine light coming on in my 99 Cummins 2500. I shut off truck then turn back on and it’s off.
Nothing a piece of black tape won't fix!
I have check engine light n also def light truck slow down to 5 mph .my def tank is full but still showing that light n its not moving from 5mph up.
Better call a tow truck
Check intake nox censor...
I'm driving a 2016 international school bus with a Cummins engine. Before the high exhaust system temperature light comes on, there's a very potent smell that comes from the engine and eventually the hest light will come on. It's there an easy way to get this to clear or do I have to shift it a lower gear and super Rev the engine? And where is that sensor?
Unfortunately there's always going to be a smell when the engine performs a regen. I haven't really worked on buses but depending on the location of the DOC it'll likely have road grime on it from driving around. Once it gets hot that's your smell.
thanks great info for me I drive a 360 cummings rv and it high temp exhaust light came on for about 20 mins a cloud of black smoke came out the rear then light went off now I know y! thanks
I got a check engine light on stoped to take a look and it was a crankcase pressure .. so went to the shop the said I’m getting oil in my crankcase filter and there recommending for me to do a inframe .. can I keep replacing the filter and keep adding oil and driving like this ??? Please advise thanks
I guess you could do anything, but without looking at it myself I can't really make a recommendation. It's definitely not a good sign to have excessive crank pressure. I would be worried about messing up the emissions system and other things. Why don't you get a 2nd opinion from another shop?
What about when the mil light and check engine with the wrench is on at the same time
You have a problem, you need to take it to the shop and hook the computer up.
What does eng 0 mean in freightliner
Could the truck be on while it has the red stop engine light on or should the truck be off as soon as possible?
Red stop light is usually on for a reason. Better shut it down ASAP and get it looked at.
ive got malfunction indicator lamp in my cummins engine how can i rectify this alarm and also e1 fault code .it is qsb6.7 engine
please help me thank you .
Brand new 2019 kw t880 cummins cx15 malfunction.light on truck had less than 10k miles. Any ideas?
I haven't even seen one yet, need to take it back to the dealership should be warranty
Mike Cummings Diesel has given me a orange triangle warning like what does that mean
Hello sir , i get a high temp with a (!) Sometimes it doesn't turn off and I lose a lil power. Our company mechanics say its fine, any ideas?
Well if there's a warning on your dash I would say it's for a reason. It could be any number of things. The rad could be plugged. Thermostat could be stuck closed. Those are the first things I'd be checking.
Thank you sir, your channel is great help 👍
I have two lights coming on. One light is the engine light with the key in it. The other says the ABS light for trailer that comes on and off whenever. They will go off, then they will reappear. I have taken it to the shop twice and they tell me that both lights are inactive. Do you know why it continues to come on? Do I have a shortage or is there something else going on? 🤔
Did you ever find out what was wrong with your truck?
@@sofiawassmer They had to update his system to remove those lights. That was an expensive 30 minutes. Lol
Very usefull video. I had the amber light 3 month ago and went to the dealer they said it was the oil pressure sensor. Now the light came back on with check engine light. I Use a private mechanich to do the maintenance but the light continue the same. How can i get the light off?
You need access to Cummins insite and work through the troubleshooting steps.
What if they did a force regen and everything was okay but it start tell you to regen again after a day went by what than
Something's not letting it complete the entire cycle. Need to hook up the computer and do some troubleshooting. If you keep going you risk filling your dpf and plugging it. In other words it'll be a lot more expensive if you wait.
Ive searched hi and low and must have the only truck that does this. Malfunction lite on seek service immediately. Next day just says seek service couple more days goes off completely and runs fine the whole time. Now its doing it again please help
Would have to look at the truck to be able to tell. Need to hook up the computer to see what fault code it is logging. Anything else would just be a guess
Could also be your duty cycle. If it doesn't see the exhaust temp that it needs for an extended period the light will come on and then when you get out on the highway it's able to do an active regen.
Thanks man
if the reason of the red check eng light is for low oil level. It should turn off if I add oil?
Ya man, engine has to have oil
The HD Perspective was low this morning. So i add 1 gl but need more. I just bought the truck, first trip.
Thank you for your help. Can you please explain about sensors thank you
Thank you for your video!
Thanks for watching

What id your regen button does not work or the idle button does not work what do you do than
What kind of truck? If it's a Kenworth the clutch linkage is probably seizing up and not letting the clutch pedal fully return.
No its a Thomas School bus

Did you try doing a manual regen?
The HD Perspective No. the exhaust scr/def service requ is on the screen. No def amber light on dash just the two check eng light
The HD Perspective I ve 2012 kw t660 bought it las week
Ya, sorry you'll need to have the computer hooked up to see what the code is. Depending on the problem it may go into a de-rate. You'll be stuck calling a tow truck. Better go take it to the shop.
The HD Perspective I will tomorrow. For now i hope let me stay here till unload tomorrow morning with out problem then the shop is 30 min from here.
I have the engine with the wrench, what does that mean
Need to hook up the scan tool to see what codes it's logging
What if your def is full with all bar being greeen
Probably the def level indicator
Ive got both lights on and my DEF gauge shows full?
+Andrey Bugriyev will it let you do a regen with the button?
why my heist lamp always comes on just before i comes to a stop but my regen lamp never ever comes on and then a few HRS.later my check engine lights comes on and my stop engine,then i always have to take it in for a force regen and no one can solve this problem, i am driving acummins freightliner m2 2012
How often the truck need to Regen?
All depends on what you're doing. Lots of highway miles at a constant load, not very often. Lots of stop and go traffic and you'll have to regen more. Also depends on the load and ambient temperature and humidity etc. Lots of variables.
I get the engine light with wrench when I first turn truck on and goes away after a minute
Ya that's normal, the ecm is doing it's self test every time you start the engine
@@TheHDPerspective thanks for the reply didn't do that before so I was a lil worried but thnx 😁
what is a DPF
Diesel particulate filter
HI NEED ALL FALL CODE LIST AN AUCTION
You do. Deletes on Cummins isx 2014 wane delete dpf
No sorry I don't have any experience with that
The HD Perspective 10-4
My 2015 Cummins powered prostar is full of DEF,but all the lights on. I'm parked and gonna call a shop .this is so damn annoying.
Did you get it figured out?
The HD Perspective . Yes thanks for the reply. I discovered that it was the wiring harness. It needs to be replaced
Ya that wiring harness is in a bad spot bring exposed to the heat all the time.
Watch this video today after my friend ignored the stop engine light and blew up the western star straight vac
Ya those lights are there for a reason, better to get it fixed right away. Less expensive that way.
1:23 thank me later
Yeah right
