    I2012 maxxforce keep regenning, multiple times a day. In July i had to have high and low temp egr coolers replaced, 10/1/15 had ati (doser valve) replaced,10/13/15 dpf filter cleaned, second time this year. Still doing multiple regens a day, every 300 miles or so. Everytime its in the shop they never check parameters. At the time the egr coolers were replaced they (international) updated the computer, but have no idea what was updated. Seem to be throwing money away so the "technician" can throw parts at it. What route should i take to remedy this problem, what sensors, or components should the dealer be looking at. I know this dpf cant be clogged aready with just a few days driving.
    Any knowledgeable input greatly appreciated.

    There was an recall for an ecm calibration end of 2013 that solved all of my identical issues you are having.

    Depends which one, the filter light or the exhaust temp light? Exhaust temp light only comes on when you are under 5 mph and a regen is happening. The filter light will come on when a regen is needed. If you are driving on the highway at a consistent speed, it should regen on its own. If you are city driving with lots of stops and go's, the regen is constantly interrupted and the light will come on more often, so it depends on what you are doing.

    Level one regen needed is solid DPF filter light. You can drive through this one.

    Level two regen needed is flashing DPF filter light. You must pull over soon and do a parked regen.

    Level three regen needed is flashing DPF filter light and warning beeper. You MUST pull over NOW and do a parked regen.

    Level four regen needed is red stop engine light. Nothing a driver can do. Regen can only be done by us.
