Excessive Sitting Regen

The system is in DIRE MEED of some service work, EGR tune-up, etc. It is more like the idiot lights of the cars of the 1970's. By the time the light comes on, the damage is done and you are chasing your tail at that point.

These systems do not give early warning of impending problems,... they only complain AFTER THE SYSTEM IS IN DIRE STRAIGHTS!

Thanks to you, I've already done the EGR tune up. Very shortly after that, I had to replace the EGR cooler. And now this is happening, but I'm only getting it "hear-say" from the driver who couldn't even tell me exactly what the message was. Just "something about truck will shut off." It's a Volvo, so it has the big(ger) screen in the gauge pod for messages and stuff. I haven't driven the truck myself in a few months, so I guess I'll head on over there and check Volvo's diagnostics screen. Maybe there's more information there.
