On Cat machines its normally just a service counter and will flash a reminder that the DPF service is due. It won't prohibit regeneration.
What is leading you to say the DPF is no good? There is a list of criteria/conditions that need to be met before a regen will start. Some active faults will prevent a regen as well.
Only way I can think of that the machine will prohibit regen with the DPF truely being no good is if you run the soot level up to 140% plus (I think) 10 or 15 minutes. To reach that stage you'd have to have knowingly overrode the warnings and put up with annoying beeps and having a derated engine for a while.
