FAQs

What is the DEF pressure sensor on a diesel exhaust fluid? ›

DEF Pressure Sensor – This sensor monitors the pressure in the DEF dosing line to make sure adequate pressure is available for DEF dosing. The DEF pressure sensor also monitors the line pressure after the ignition has been turned OFF to ensure DEF has been purged from the line.

How do you check diesel exhaust fluid quality? ›

Use a Handheld DEF Refractometer – A refractometer DEF tester can provide a more accurate reading of the urea concentration. Monitor Warning Lights – Don't ignore any warning lights on your vehicle's dashboard related to the DEF system. These lights can indicate issues with the fluid.

What does it mean fill diesel exhaust fluid tank? ›

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) also known as AdBlue™, is a non-toxic, colourless, odourless and non-flammable fluid. Stored in a dedicated tank in your car, it is injected into the exhaust system to clean exhaust gases.

What color is DEF diesel exhaust fluid? ›

DEF is usually clear, but when it comes into contact with copper or brass it will appear “light blue,” and if it comes into contact with steel or galvanized steel, it will appear to be a “rusty” color. DEF is heavier than diesel fuel and oil, so these fluids will float on top of the DEF. It has a slight ammonia smell.

What happens when a DEF sensor goes bad? ›

“Malfunction of DEF Quality Sensors (DEFQS) can cause an engine torque derate through a number of different failure modes, including incorrectly or inappropriately detecting of low fluid quality in the diesel exhaust fluid tank, failure to communicate with the ECM, or being in a failed or offline state,” Thomas noted.

How can you tell if the DPF sensor is bad? ›

Here are some signs that indicate the DPF is not regenerating properly due to the DPF sensor failing:
  1. Poor engine performance.
  2. Poor fuel economy.
  3. High engine temperatures.
  4. High transmission temperatures.
  5. An increase in black smoke (soot) from the exhaust.
  6. Check engine light.

How to know if a DEF pump is bad? ›

Signs of a bad DEF pump include:
  1. DEF pressure codes or warning lights.
  2. Visible leaks around the pump seals.
  3. The pump is not turning on even when DEF is needed.

What is the warning light for diesel exhaust fluid? ›

The diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) light, also known as the “AdBlue” light, is a warning light that can appear on the dashboard of many diesel vehicles. This light typically illuminates when there is a problem with the DEF system, which is responsible for reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in diesel engines.

What happens when a DEF injector fails? ›

An improperly working DEF injector will cause your truck to display a check engine light or "Reductive Fluid Quality" message on your dash. This can often cause your truck to go into limp mode and give you engine codes.

Can I add diesel exhaust fluid myself? ›

Just insert the funnel into the diesel exhaust fluid entry point and direct the liquid into your car or truck. Your vehicle should have a sensor that will tell you when the fluid needs to be topped off. You can also look in your owner's manual for an idea of when it's time to add more.

What happens when you run out of diesel exhaust fluid? ›

Before your diesel exhaust fluid tank ends up empty, actually when it drops below 2.5%, the alert light will be displayed to warn you to refill the DEF tank. Because running out of DEF fluid reduces the engine's power and limits the vehicle's speed to 5 mph (miles per hour).

Does it matter what diesel exhaust fluid you use? ›

Essentially, all DEF should be the same, but quality differences exist. The variations in DEF quality can impact the effectiveness of this process.

What happens if you mix diesel with DEF fluid? ›

When DEF is added to the diesel fuel tank, it can cause the fuel to become contaminated. This can lead to clogs in the fuel system, damage to the fuel injectors, and even engine failure.

Will DEF ever go away? ›

DEF has become an important part of modern diesel engines. Still, many drivers have been confused about exactly how it works and why they need it — especially since the EPA announced that 2019 would be the last year all vehicle owners would need to meet this requirement.

Is DEF required in all states? ›

The use of DEF is mandatory for diesel engines in most heavy-duty trucks in the United States. The EPA requires all diesel engines manufactured after 2010 to have DEF systems installed.

Where is the DEF pressure sensor located? ›

The def fluid pressure sensor is built into the def pump. The def pump will be attached to the rear of the def tank mounting brackets. This is a non serviceable part and can not be replaced without the entire pump assembly being changed.

What does a differential pressure sensor do on diesel engine? ›

The differential pressure sensor measures the pressure drop between two points in the flow pattern and is used at two different points in the exhaust manifold. At one point it reports the charge status of the particle filter and monitors its function.

What does a DEF sensor do? ›

The DEF level sensor, which is part of the DEF sending unit, measures the level of fluid remaining in the DEF tank. When the liquid level is low, the DEF level sensor sends a signal to the vehicle's ECU which then triggers the warning light on the gauges or panel.

What does a diesel pressure sensor do? ›

Fitted into a diesel engine, a diesel pressure sensor functions to relay a pressure drop in the common rail system to the ECU. The ECU uses this information to restore the pressure via a high-pressure pump.
