Coding a John Deere DPF with Texa

Diesel Particulate Filters, or DPFs, are exhaust filters designed to reduce the emissions produced by diesel engines. Once the machine has been in operation for 3,000 to 5,000 hours, depending on horsepower, you will need to clean out the soot that has accumulated through performing a regeneration.

Traditionally John Deere equipment owners have relied on dealers to service these exhaust filters. That is no longer the case. With Diesel Laptops TEXA Off-Highway kit, for construction and agriculture equipment, you have the tools and support to perform dealer level commands at the touch of a finger.
