Procedure
Follow instructions in Rapido, and for your FSX machine, to do the following.
Flush the EGR cooler. EGR cooler cleaning may take up to 4 hours.
Clean the venturi.
Reinstall the EGR system.
Inspect the DOC for face plugging.
If the DOC face is not plugged, reassemble/reinstall the DOC and perform a parked Regeneration.
If the DOC face is plugged, continue with this procedure.
Check for a DPF breach.
If the DPF is breached, replace the damaged components as needed.
If the DPF is not breached, clean the DPF in the FSX machine.
If face plugging is found, it must be baked out, using the FSX baking kiln. Blowing out of the DOC is not acceptable, as
it will not clean out the wet deposits.
Reinstall removed parts.
NOTE
MY17/18 (EPA 17) DOC Inlet may have interference with the side of some FSX cleaning traps. New 15-200557 DOC
Cleaning Adaptor Plates Can Be Ordered Through PACCAR Parts to resolve the issue.
