You install Jscan on your phone and if I remember correctly it was around $30 for a license. https://jscan.net/ You will also need an OBD bluetooth adapter and the Jscan site has a list of compatible adapters. My bypass cable came from Amazon but I don't use it now because a Tazer bypasses the secutiry gateway.

Yeah Tazer mini does not do a regen. I called the dealer and they said they did do a force and that they could not replace it without going through procedures to prove it was broken.

What I do not understand is how is this part "VIN" specific? Because of that, there is a delay of 7-10 business days to get the part.

My guess is that it's not exactly Vin specific, but model specific. The EcoDiesel was in the Wrangler, Gladiator, Grand Cherokee, Ram 1500 and RamMaster van. They all could have different DPF because of the different packaging sizes required.
Not sure, just guessing.

Just had my own DEF failure.

The damned spout wouldn't seal properly and now I have white crust all over my fender, rear tire, and shoe.

I hear that happens with age...

I'll take that over a limp spout I can't even get inserted properly.

Service Advisor said that many parts are VIN specific. Seemed odd to me. I get that it might be Gladiator specific, but VIN? I know the Hellcats and like you would have to provide a VIN to get a badge, but DPF seems odd. I found another forum post and they sourced it from another dealer. My dealer owns all the JEEP in the are, but with a loaner, not big deal to wait.

A lot of these service advisors only know what the computer tells them, otherwise, I don't think they really have a clue. Common sense tells me that all Wranglers and Gladiators share the same DPF. The only difference in the exhaust routing since the Gladiator has a longer wheelbase. Jeep is obviously going to save as much money as they can by keeping the same emissions hardware between both platforms and through all trim levels.

The DPF part number is 68508878AB.

Wonder why the delay in getting it? Seems readily available.

Dealer doesn't want to pay shipping. So it's probably on the regular truck that comes once a week.
Just guessing, but I've seen it.

Was 60 miles out on a 650 mile road trip in the 22 Gladiator 47k miles and got the "Exhaust System Service Required See Dealer" (also flashed a few times the traction control message, but could not get it to re-occur) and it put a red flashing icon on the top left above the temp gauge. Felt a bit of limp mode. There was no cell service, so turned around and drove it home keeping it 70 max. Ran fine getting home, but could not clear the error. Rented a vehicle to take the road trip. Just got back and dropped at the dealer and they text that the DPF System needs to be replaced. I have an extended warranty which will cover it. The issue is that its VIN specific and thus 7-10 days to get the parts. The warranty covers my loaner, but this seems crazy that the parts are VIN specific. Never mind the fact that it has to be replaced. No reason as to why it failed.

Just wanted to add to thread in case someone get the error message. I did disconnect the battery and ran it at a high rpm to try and get the burn off of the soot. Nothing would clear the warning. DEF was at 50% in the truck too. Had just had an oil change by the dealer a few weeks before.

Just had this same scenario.
65-70 mph towing 5k lb rv n gear keeping oil temps around 250 n egts 1450 n under soot was in the 60s last I checked n boom service exhaust limp mode code P24A4
Clear it n kept coming back soot load stayed maxed at 84
Went ahead n ran it 30 miles to a relatives house and it would get in 5th n 6th gear rpms 2-2.5k egts could only get in 900s or it would kick power down.

Crazy thing soot load would come down as low as 69 but would not come out of the fault. Seems this code stays locked Dropped rv n took to a dealer and tech said a forced regen wouldn’t help the way I was operating it and he found more codes than I saw. Def injector n not sure of the others.
Luckily I was at 35,920 miles lol
PDCPA how long did yours fix take and is it good?
