Do you have the latest flash like I do? It's the one they stopped doing. The "CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER" stays on in the message center the entire time unless you hit reset.

It sounds like you have an older flash. The "CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER" message only stays lighted for a couple of seconds. Is it possible you could have missed it? With the high idle in park, it sounds like your truck was in an "active regeration" and not a "passive regen."

With the older flash where you could have missed the "CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER" in the message center, all you have to do is is hit "SETUP" and then "RESET." This will run a check at it will show if you are in an "active regeration."

IMHO I think a so called "passive regeration" is a fable, urban legend, or a very nice bedtime story told to us by mother .
