NOTE:
The DEF Heater monitor runs only when the DEF Heater Relay is on. If the ambient temperature is too warm for the DEF Heaters to be turned on, the DTC will remain active and will not be able to be erased after repair is completed. Using the scan tool, navigate to Actuator Tests and actuate the Heater Relay test for the appropriate Heater to run the diagnostic and determine if the repair has been completed. If the repair is complete, the fault will move to stored and be able to be cleared with the scan tool.
