Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) System: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup, 2012 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2012 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2012 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The SCR system reduces nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust stream by a chemical reduction process using the SCR catalyst and a reductant injection system that introduces diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) into the exhaust system upstream of the SCR catalyst. The reductant injection system is directly controlled and monitored by the PCM. For additional information on the SCR system components, refer to ENGINE CONTROL COMPONENTS .
