Detroit DEF dosing valve troubleshooting steps
The sheet has the technician inspect the dosing-valve connector and harness for an open circuit, repair any pin or wiring damage, then confirm the repair at engine idle for one minute so the code does not reset.
Applicable truck models
This code sheet applies to trucks powered by Detroit DD Series diesel engines built to the EPA10 emissions calibration; always match the SPN 3361 FMI 5 listing to the vehicle’s own engine family before repair. Confirm the emissions family on the vehicle emissions label, because aftertreatment and dosing hardware differs between the EPA07, EPA10 and GHG14 builds and a mismatched procedure can send you to the wrong component. For engine coverage and dealer service information, see the Detroit Diesel official website.
