This one-page style reference documents Detroit fault code Detroit DEF diffuser heater, the DEF metering unit diffuser heater circuit open circuit condition on DD Series (EPA 2007-current) aftertreatment systems. It walks the technician through inspecting the harness for bent, spread or corroded pins, disconnecting the ACM 120-pin connector, and measuring resistance to separate a wiring fault from a failed component. The procedure is sourced from the TruckFaultCodes.com Detroit fault-code library (© 2017) and mirrors the checks in Detroit Power Service Literature.
