A 2.8L Prado with 5000km experienced a blocked DPF and went into limp mode while towing a 2200kg caravan in a headwind. Fuel consumption was very high (22-24L/100km at 80 kph in 4th gear). The DPF light illuminated and then began flashing.
Solution
Toyota performed a forced DPF regeneration. While successful, the root cause of why the DPF blocked in the first place under these driving conditions was still being investigated. The 5th injector was confirmed to be functioning.
