If so, why would not the computer tell me that it was about time for the regeneration to take place because the DPF was "80% Full"? It's also only occured during relatively cold conditions. It hasn't ever occured during the afternoon when I return home and accelerate onto the interstate.
It is possible to get into a regen mode that never goes away. Short trips just don't let the dpf get clean. You need about 20 minutes at highway rpm's
