Troubleshooting DPF Regeneration Failure and Check Engine Light Issues in 2022 Hyundai Venue

Hey there, had a similar problem with my 2020 Hyundai Kona, a different model but still a sister under the Hyundai brand. My car know-how isn't massive, but I got by with some experience under my belt. The DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) took the brunt and was jam-packed. At the servicing, the mechanic performed a forced regeneration, replaced the overloaded DPF, and reset the system, all for around 1325€. Your issue sounds pretty on par. A little detail that could be handy: Could you tell us more about your Venue's mileage and driving style? It helps if we're to dig deeper and provide a bit more help. Keep us posted!

Howdy! My Venue has clocked in 57507 KM, and as far as driving style goes, I mostly use it for city drives, with the occasional long trip thrown into the mix. Your experience with your Kona gives me some good insights into what I might be dealing with. I reckon I'll try and get a forced regeneration done too. I appreciate your input. Will keep ya post on how it goes for sure!

Hey there! I'm glad you found my experience with my Kona handy. Considering your Venue's mileage, it does make sense that your DPF might be due for some TLC. Hyundai vehicles are known for their solid build, but like any machine, they need upkeep. Usual city driving can lead to a blocked DPF as there are more stop-starts compared to driving on the highway. It could either be a faulty back pressure sensor or indeed a DPF clogged with particulates. Since you're already going for a forced regeneration, you might want to look into cleaning the exhaust back pressure sensor as well while you're at it. I did that on my Kona when I had it serviced and it worked a charm. Costs comparatively less than buying a new sensor, and it's a quick process too. Looking forward to hearing about how your car fares. Best of luck!

Hey there! Thanks a bunch for sharing your wisdom. Makes total sense, city driving has it's tough moments on the engine for sure. I hadn't thought of giving the exhaust back pressure sensor a good cleaning. But your suggestions got me thinking. Money saved is money earned, right? I'll be sure to have the mechanic look into it. Fingers crossed that the fix comes easy. Will let ya know how it goes. Cheers and take care!
