That is what I thought too until the EVIC gauge went to about 25% for a couple of weeks and that PM1% stayed at zero. So, it is reading something else, not the EVIC gauge data, just no idea what.
I thought that was possible, but it never goes down, even after towing the TT up hills at highway speed. And when the DPF EVIC gauge finally went from 25% back to 0%, that DPFRG did not lower at all, but in fact gradually went up some more over that same time period. Because the rise of the DPFRG seems slow, regular, and linear, I had started thinking it was just reading engine hour percentage until the next 24 hour regen starts. But now that the next 24 hour regen is only one hour away, if it was reading that it would be at 96%, not 75%. Seems like DPFRG is not reading the soot level either as it never decreases, even when towing, So I have no idea what it is reading.
I understand that of but... I was just hoping someone would know for sure exactly what PM1% and DPFRG were reading and displaying. We can guess like we have been, but as I have described, our guesses do not seem to pan out correctly. But those two PIDs are reading something. It would just be interesting to know what.
I also understand that wanting to track and display all this is not necessary to using the truck. Some people like me, and probably you, just like to watch what is going on. And since threads like this one show that many would like to know more about how the truck is monitoring the DPF and Regen process, I thought if I could figure out what my iDash was actually displaying, it would help. But unless someone like
@Jimmy07 whose knowledge about these trucks seems to have wide breadth can help, we may not be able to figure it out.
I would think Banks could say what their iDash is reading for PM1% and DPFRG, but I have called them twice and their tech support does not know. I am sure some engineer at Banks knows, but we don't have access to their knowledge. At least your CTS3 seems to be better than my iDash as far as exactly what is being read and displayed. I love the physical form of the iDash and some of the functions it allows. But I do like a lot about your CTS3 also. I am not quite nuts enough to own both though!
