Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Messages
The Cummins® diesel engine meets all EPA Heavy Duty

Diesel Engine Emissions Standards, resulting in one of

the lowest emitting diesel engines ever produced. To

achieve these emissions standards, your vehicle is

equipped with a state-of-the-art engine and exhaust

system. These systems are seamlessly integrated into

your vehicle and managed by the Powertrain Control

Module (PCM). The PCM manages engine combustion to

allow the exhaust system’s catalyst to trap and burn

Particulate Matter (PM) pollutants, with no input or

interaction on your part.
