This Detroit DEF warning EPA10 troubleshooting sheet documents fault code SPN 3364/FMI 17, Improper DEF Quality Warning, on Detroit DD Series engines. It measures DEF concentration, compares DEF pressure to ambient, flushes the metering unit and verifies NOx conversion during a parked regeneration. Diagnosis uses a diesel diagnostic tool.

- Steps 12-16: chart NOx sensors and run parked regenerations
Applicable truck models
This EPA10-tier procedure applies to Detroit DD Series diesel engines with SCR aftertreatment, covering the DEF pressure sensor, metering unit and NOx sensors. The 70% NOx conversion threshold decides whether escalation is required. See Detroit’s official service literature portal for the authoritative Detroit repair procedures.
