CamboT do you possibly have part number for the new updated 5th injector and/or job reference number or a code for the whole thing?

I had this DPF ECU upgrade few months back.
I monitor car ECU info via OBD dongle and TorquePro app.
Recently when driving long distances on freeways DPF will usually start regenerating (burn) at approx after 250-290kms driving.
After the burn is completed, if I still continue uninterrupted drive on the freeway (usual speeds of 110km/h), the DPF will start accumulating soot much much quicker, almost 1% for every km driven. So its then showing as full after approx 100-130kms and commences the burn again!
If I then stop or start driving in suburbs (stop, start traffic, up to 70-80km/h) the actual percentages of how much soot is accumulated in DPF start falling. Sometimes from 80% to lets 30% etc. But if I continue driving the DPF burns will happen every 100 or so kms, which is not normal.
I am at the loss why is this happening.
Been to Toyota number of times and every time I am advised no codes, can not diagnose what is going on and all appears correct. No smoke from exhaust.
I wonder if anyone else is experiencing frequent burns whilst driving on the freways long distances?

Is it the same case with you?
What does your dealer say?
I will take second phone with me next time I go for a long drive and will record torquepro data together with dashboard kms traveled so I can raise more noise with Toyota in regards to this.

Just got back from a trip away with boat yesterday from Pt. Lincoln to Adelaide (around 650km) in that time it did 4 burns & each one lasted for 45min or around 70-75km. Hilux had the update done around 12 months ago & burns around the city last around 15 min and occur every 350km’s or so. No white smoke is evident and car runs fine with good economy except when towing as it appears to be doing burns so often which therefore jumps the fuel use up. Havnt spoken to Toyota about this but would be interested to see if many other owners have the same issue.

Sent all of that to local Toyota who advised me same day they sent it all to techs in Japan.
