A. Establish communication between Cat® Electronic Technician (ET) and the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Controller (DCU) .
B. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
C. Look for "-3" or " -4" active or logged codes.
Diagnostic code
Result: A -3 diagnostic code is active.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
Result: A -4 diagnostic code is active.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
2. Create a Short at the Sensor Connector
A. Verify that the harness connector is free of debris, free of corrosion and securely connected.
B. Install a jumper wire between the signal and return wire at the sensor connector in order to create a short.
C. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
D. Monitor the diagnostic codes on Cat ET. Check for an active -4 diagnostic code for the level sensor.
E. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
Short created
Result: A -4 diagnostic code became active after creating the short at the sensor connector.
The wiring is OK.
Repair: Replace the DEF tank level sensor. Refer to the Disassembly and Assembly manual.
Verify that the problem is resolved by cycling the keyswitch to the OFF position for 1 minutes. Turn to the keyswitch to the ON position and check for active codes.
Result: A -4 diagnostic code does not become active for the tank level sensor.
Repair: Repair or replace the wiring harness.
Verify that the problem is resolved by cycling the keyswitch to the OFF position for 1 minutes. Turn to the keyswitch to the ON position and check for active codes.
3. Create an Open at the Suspect Sensor Connector
A. Disconnect the connector of the tank level sensor.
B. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
C. Monitor the diagnostic codes on Cat ET. Check for an active -3 diagnostic code for the level sensor.
D. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
Create an Open
Result: A -3 diagnostic code became active after disconnecting the sensor.
The wiring is OK.
Repair: Replace the DEF tank level sensor. Refer to the Disassembly and Assembly manual.
Verify that the problem is resolved by cycling the keyswitch to the OFF position for 1 minutes. Turn to the keyswitch to the ON position and check for active codes.
Result: A -3 diagnostic code does not became active after disconnecting the sensor.
Repair: Repair or replace the wiring harness.
Verify that the problem is resolved by cycling the keyswitch to the OFF position for 1 minutes. Turn to the keyswitch to the ON position and check for active codes.
