Title : SCR Vehicles Setting DEF Quality Faults due to Crossed DEF Tank Coolant Lines or Inverted DEFTHV
Applies To : All SCR Vehicles
CHANGE LOG
Dealers: Please refer to the change log text box below for recent changes to this article:
09/27/2017 - Modified DEF line routing diagram on EPA 2017 graphic
08/08/2017 Added A26 graphic
06/19/2017 - Added step 3.
03/23/2017 - Updated SPN descriptions.
03/15/2017 - Removed step 4 guidance, changed diag. steps
01/20/2017 Removed crossed lines at DEF tank option
09/17/2015 - Revised nomenclature, removed an unnecessary step, and added DEF line details in step 1
DESCRIPTION
This document will guide the user through determining the cause of fault code 3363-16 (FC1713) on vehicles equipped with SCR. BEFORE replacing any
components, verify the DEF tank coolant lines are properly routed and the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank Heater Valve (DEFTHV) is facing the proper direction
according to the procedure below.
NOTE: The example used below is a typical DEF tank coolant line routing for a ProStar with an ISX. Other models may vary, but same failure mode
may still exist.

Decision
DIAGNOSTIC: Locate supply line. The DEFTHV should be installed on the DEF tank coolant supply line. Verify the lines are not crossed Yes: Go to Step 2.
as shown in Figure 1 or Figure 2 below.
Use this diagram for EPA 2013 vehicles:
No: Remove the DEF tank
coolant lines from the Parker
fittings and/or orient them
properly Retest for 3363-16
(FC1713)
NOTE: Hose pinchers can b
used to clamp the hoses so
coolant does not drain out.

Are the DEF tank coolant lines routed properly (not crossed)?
Step Action
Decision
DIAGNOSTIC: Verify the DEFTHV is facing the correct direction on the vehicle. Locate DEFTHV part number(In red box), see Figure 2
below. Correct direction of supply coolant flow is towards the DEF tank.
NOTE: Electrical connectors of valve may face multiple directions.
Yes: Go to Step 3
If diagnosing fault codes othe
than 336316 (FC1713) refer
associated FCAP.

No: Reorient valve to correct
direction, clear codes and rete
Figure 3: DEFTHV Direction
Is the DEFTHV facing the proper direction on the vehicle?
Step Action
Decision
DIAGNOSTIC: Detecting stuck DEF tank heater valve.
3
Yes: Replace the DEFTHV.
The DEF tank heater valve is a normally closed valve. At key off, disconnect the DEF tank coolant supply line from the DEF sending unit
(see supply line location in Step 1 Figure 1). With the line connected, only residual coolant should exit the line. Allow 2 minutes for
residual coolant to exit. If a constant, steady stream is present, the valve is stuck open.
After 2 minutes with the coolant line disconnected, is there a constant, steady stream of coolant exiting the line?
No: Retest for fault codes. If
other fault codes are present,
see associated FCAPs.
REPAIR STEP(s)
For removal and installation of DEF heater components, see Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) System section in the appropriate Exhaust and Aftertreatment
System with DPF and SCR Service Manual. Links to these manuals are given in the resources section below.
