DPF deactivation — remove the filter without warnings or regeneration faults.
The DPF OFF disables particulate-filter monitoring, regeneration strategies and the differential-pressure faults that appear after a physical filter removal. The patched file keeps the dashboard clean and the car out of limp mode. Applied automatically by AutoMod on supported ECUs.
The diesel particulate filter stores soot and burns it off through regeneration — extra fuel injected late in the stroke raises exhaust temperature to oxidize the deposit. Cars driven mostly on short trips never complete a regen cycle: ash builds up, back-pressure climbs and the ECU escalates from warning light to forced-regeneration requests to limp mode. Failed regenerations also dilute engine oil with diesel.
The DPF OFF patch removes the complete filter control chain: active and forced regeneration strategies, differential-pressure monitoring, upstream/downstream temperature plausibility, the soot and ash load models and the full family of filter-related fault codes. Torque limits and limp triggers attached to those faults go with them.

One practical note: the patch expects the filter to be gone for good. A DPF OFF file on a car that still has the filter fitted will clog it faster, since the ECU no longer schedules the regens that kept it alive — the delete hardware decision should be made before flashing, not after.
The service applies once the filter element is physically removed — delete pipe or emptied housing. The dashboard stays clean whether the pressure sensor stays connected or not, and with post-injection regen gone, oil dilution stops and exhaust back-pressure drops.
The patch also freezes the counters that matter later: ash-load and soot-load estimates stop counting, so the ECU never decides a regen is "overdue" months after the delete. Because post-injection is gone, the small fuel-economy penalty of regeneration disappears too — on many ECUs the post-injection pulses were also the source of the characteristic regen smell at idle.
The diagnostic scope is deliberate: the patch removes the filter chain but keeps the rest of the after-treatment diagnostics honest — glow plugs, EGR and SCR monitoring still report real faults, which keeps the car diagnosable long after the delete.
The calibration chain runs deeper than the dashboard light: regeneration is triggered by the soot model, the soot model by the differential sensor, and both feed the torque limiter that produces limp mode. Removing the whole chain is what separates a real DPF OFF from a code-clearing exercise that limps again after the next drive cycle.

Remove the filter element or fit a delete pipe first. Then read the ECU — OBD on EDC16/PPD, bench mode on EDC17 and MD1 with FLEX or KESS3 — upload the file, apply the patch and write it back. No regen request will ever fire again, so differential sensor and temperature harnesses can stay or be removed.
DPF OFF vs AdBlue OFF vs readiness: DPF OFF removes the filter chain, AdBlue OFF the SCR dosing chain, and readiness reconciles the monitor flags afterwards. On a full emissions delete the three apply to the same file — one flash, one coherent state.
Yes — gutting the stock housing or fitting a straight-through pipe both work. The calibration patch is required either way because the ECU still monitors pressure and temperature.
No. Active and forced regeneration are fully disabled, along with the counters that schedule them.
Optional. With monitoring switched off the sensor can stay connected or be removed — no fault is stored either way.
Removing regen events and back-pressure usually gives a small real-world gain; the bigger win is no more failed regenerations and oil dilution.
The DPF light and faults stay off permanently. Emissions legality is a separate question — deletes are intended for off-road, competition and export use, so check your local rules.
