Which indicator shows the filter has become loaded to a point where regeneration is required immediately?

• A. Solid red light
• B. Green steady light
• C. Flashing ( Second stage)
• D. No light

Answer: (C)

The key idea is how the DPF/soot-accumulation indicator progresses to warn about regenerating the filter. When the filter is getting heavily loaded, the system moves from a normal or early-warning state to a higher-urgency state. A flashing indicator labeled as the second stage is designed to tell the operator that regeneration must be started immediately to avoid plugging the filter or causing excessive backpressure. It signals you to act now, rather than later, because continuing operation without regeneration could lead to engine issues or reduced performance. In contrast, a solid red light generally signals a fault or service requirement, not specifically the need for regeneration; a green steady light means normal operation; and no light simply indicates no current warning. So the flashing second stage is the best cue that immediate regeneration is required.
