Diagnostic Test
- READ AND RECORD DTCS AND ENVIRONMENTAL DATA - ERASE DTCS AND CHECK FOR THE DTC TO RETURN
- With the scan tool, read DTCs in all Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and record on the repair order.
- For future reference, run and save a vehicle Scan Report and all related recorded data.
- With the scan tool, erase all DTCs.
- Turn the ignition off for a minimum of 75.0 seconds.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Using the When Monitored and Set Conditions above and recorded data, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT DTC .
- CHECK FOR OTHER DTCS
- Refer to the recorded DTCs.
Are there any SCR, DEF, or NOx DTCs present?
Yes
- Perform the applicable diagnostic procedure(s). Refer to DTC INDEX (1 OF 2) and/or DTC INDEX (2 OF 2) .
No
- Go To 3
- Refer to the recorded DTCs.
- CHECK FOR DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID LEAK
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, navigate to Systems Tests and actuate the DEF Injector (Dosing Valve) Actuator Test.NOTE:
This will pressurize the system, making a leak easier to see.
- Inspect for signs of a Diesel Exhaust Fluid leak at:
- DEF Injector and Injector connectors.
- DEF Heater Line.
- DEF Supply Pump Assembly.
NOTE:Diesel exhaust fluid will form white deposits around leaky fittings.
Were any leaks found?
Yes
- Repair or replace the faulty component in accordance with the Service Information.
- Then, go back to the beginning of the Diagnostic Tree for this DTC (P2BA9-00) and start over.
No
- Go To 4
- CHECK THE DEF QUALITY
- Turn the ignition off.
- Test the qualify of the Diesel Exhaust Fluid. Refer to DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID EMISSIONS [EXJ], DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
.
Were there any problems found with the quality of the Diesel Exhaust Fluid?
Yes
- Drain and refill the DEF tank with the correct application Diesel Exhaust Fluid.
- IMPORTANT: THE SCR HEALING PROCEDURE (TEST STEP 7) MUST NOW BE PERFORMED.
- Go To 8
No
- Go To 5
- CHECK THE DEF VOLUME FROM THE INJECTOR
- Turn ignition off.
- Remove the DEF Injector from the decomposition tube.NOTE:
Leave the DEF Injector harness connector attached to the DEF Injector.
- Place the DEF Injector in a container to capture the fluid sprayed.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Using the scan tool, begin the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Injector Quantity Test.NOTE:
This Test is broken up into three parts: 1-Air Bleed/Build Pressure (about 30 seconds/then empty the container), 2-Main Volume Test (a little over one minute), 3-DEF Purge (to remove excess fluid from the lines after the test). The entire procedure will run for 2-3 minutes before timing out. The amount of flow may fluctuate throughout the test, therefore the test must be allowed to run completely in order for the results to be accurate. The fluid should spray out as a mist. There should be no dripping from the holes in the DEF Injector at any time during the duration of the test procedure.
- Measure the amount of fluid sprayed after the test times out.
Does the fluid sprayed measure between 26 ml and 35 ml?
Yes
- Replace the SCR Catalyst in accordance with the Service Information.
- IMPORTANT: THE SCR HEALING PROCEDURE (TEST STEP 7) MUST NOW BE PERFORMED.
- Go To 8
No
- CHECK THE DEF SUPPLY LINE FOR A RESTRICTION
- CHECK THE DEF INJECTOR OPERATION
- Install the DEF Injector in accordance with the Service Information.NOTE:
At this time, the DEF Volume test must be performed again.
- Turn ignition off.
- Remove the DEF Injector from the decomposition tube.NOTE:
Leave the DEF Injector harness connector attached to the DEF Injector.
- Place the DEF Injector in a container to capture the fluid sprayed.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Using the scan tool, begin the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Injector Quantity Test.NOTE:
This Test is broken up into three parts: 1-Air Bleed/Build Pressure (about 30 seconds/then empty the container), 2-Main Volume Test (a little over one minute), 3-DEF Purge (to remove excess fluid from the lines after the test). The entire procedure will run for 2-3 minutes before timing out. The amount of flow may fluctuate throughout the test, therefore the test must be allowed to run completely in order for the results to be accurate. The fluid should spray out as a mist. There should be no dripping from the holes in the DEF Injector at any time during the duration of the test procedure.
- Measure the amount of fluid sprayed after the test times out.
Is the DEF Volume test result still below 26 ml?
Yes
- Replace the DEF Supply Pump in accordance with the Service Information.
- IMPORTANT: THE SCR HEALING PROCEDURE (TEST STEP 7) MUST NOW BE PERFORMED.
- Go To 8
No
- Go To 8
- Install the DEF Injector in accordance with the Service Information.
- PERFORM THE SCR HEALING PROCEDURE
- Verify that the DEF Tank level is between 25% and 85% full.
- Please turn the key off for 45 seconds (Complete after-run).
- Using the scan tool, go Misc. Functions>Perform 'DEF Tank Level Reset'.
- Add 1 gallon of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (to trigger refill detection).NOTE:
The ambient air temperature must be above -7.0°C (19.4°F) to continue with this procedure.
NOTE:The vehicle must be below 6, 800 ft. altitude to continue with this procedure.
- At this time, perform a Service Regeneration procedure (see DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER, STANDARD PROCEDURE
).NOTE:
This will prevent DPF Regeneration from occurring during the rest of the Healing Procedure.
- With the vehicle at full operating temperature, (Using the scan tool) Verify that the DEF system has pressurized.
- Drive the vehicle at steady highway speeds until the Inducement message on the Cluster is no longer present.NOTE:
Typically a drive of 55 MPH or higher on a highway for 60 minutes should be sufficient.
- The 'Service DEF' message on the EVIC will turn off when this DTC has been successfully healed.
Did the "Service DEF" message turn off?
Yes
- Test Complete.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 3.0L, POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
Perform the SCR HEALING PROCEDURE again.
