4. Measure the resistance between ground and the DEF Pressure Sensor Signal circuit at the DEF Supply Pump harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 10k Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 3
  No
  - Repair the DEF Pressure Sensor Signal circuit for a short to ground.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECK FOR THE DEF PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE DEF PRESSURE SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT
1. Measure the resistance between the DEF Pressure Sensor Signal circuit and the DEF Pressure Sensor Ground circuit at the DEF Supply Pump harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 10k Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 4
  No
  - Repair the short between the DEF Pressure Sensor Signal circuit and the DEF Pressure Sensor Ground circuit.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECK THE DEF PRESSURE SENSOR
1. Reconnect the DEF Dosing Control Unit C2 harness connector.
