Stopping the engine immediately after the engine has been working under load can result in overheating of DEF system components.Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Stopping" procedure to allow the engine to cool and to prevent excessive temperatures in the turbocharger housing and the DEF injector.
Allow at least 2 minutes after the engine has stopped before you turn the battery disconnect switch to OFF. Disconnecting the battery power too soon will prevent purging of the DEF lines after the engine is shut down.
Warning Strategy
The engine ECM will have software enabled in order to warn, derate, and only operate a low idle. This software is in order to keep the engine emissions complaint.Warning Indicators
The warning indicators consist of a level gauge for the DEF, a low-level lamp for the DEF, an emission malfunction lamp, a warning lamp, a DEF quality lamp, and the application stop lamp.The DEF level gauge will only give an accurate reading with the application on level ground.
