a. Yes; replace the DEF line from the DEF tank to the DEF pump.
b. No; Go to step 8.
8. Disconnect the DEF supply line at the dosing unit. Fill the graduated cylinder supplied in DEF test kit (P/N:
W060589001900) with water. Place the end of the DEF line into the graduated cylinder as far as possible.
NOTE: Place the graduated cylinder in a secondary container to catch over flowing DEF fluid, making sure you
still have clear sight of the end of the DEF line.
9. Using DiagnosticLink, perform the Selective Catalyst Reduction Airless Dosing System (SCR ADS) Self-Check
routine. When the service routine is running, visually inspect the DEF line for continuous air bubbles coming from the
line and DEF flow.
10. Were any bubbles coming from the DEF pump supply line indicating a crack in the DEF pump feed line?
a. Yes; replace the DEF supply line from the DEF tank to the DEF pump. Verify repair.
b. No; Go to step 11.
11. Using the DEF/Doser Kit (RS SUPPLY KIT - available through eParts catalog), replace the DEF pump module filter.
Refer to section "Installation of the GHG14 Diesel Exhaust Fluid Pump Module Filter". Go to step 12.
12. Replace the DEF pump inlet screen. Refer to section "Installation of the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Pump Module Filter
Screen". Go to step 13.
13. Replace DEF Pressure Relief Valve (PRV). Refer to section "Removal of the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Pump Pressure
Relief Valve". Go to step 14.
14. Replace DEF dosing unit inlet screen. Refer to section "Removal of the GHG14 Diesel Exhaust Fluid Dosing Unit Inlet
Screen". Go to step 15.
15. Connect all DEF lines and electrical connections. Go to step 16.
16. Perform Selective Catalytic Reduction Airless Dosing System (SCR ADS) Self-Check Routine. Did the SCR ADS test
pass?
a. Yes; clear the codes and release the vehicle.
b. No; replace the DEF pump. Refer to section "Removal of the GHG14 Diesel Exhaust Fluid Pump Module".

Verification

Parked Regeneration

Possible causes:



Contaminated DEF
Incorrect concentration of urea in the DEF
Biased NOx sensor
Excessive DEF build-up in the exhaust

NOTICE: DEF crystallization inside the SCR mixing chamber or around the dosing unit does not indicate a failed/
leaking DEF doser. Do not replace the DEF dosing unit unless directed.
Check as follows:
1. Connect DiagnosticLink ®.
2. Turn the ignition ON (key ON, engine OFF).
3. Check for other fault codes. Are there any air management system (Intake Throttle Valve (ITV), Intake Manifold
Pressure (IMP), Intake Air Temperature (IAT), turbocharger etc.) fault codes present?
a. Yes; diagnose the air management system fault codes first.
b. No; Go to step 4.
4. Are there any Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system fault codes present?
a. Yes; repair the EGR system fault codes first.
b. No; Go to step 5.
5. Are there any fuel system fault codes present?
a. Yes; diagnose the fuel system fault codes first.
b. No; Go to step 6.
6. Are there any other NOx sensor fault codes present?
a. Yes; diagnose the other NOx sensor fault codes first.
b. No; Go to step 7.
7. Was another emission component related fault code repaired prior to this step?
a. Yes; Perform a parked regeneration to verify repairs and clear fault codes.
b. No; Go to step 8.
8. Are there any ACM temperature or pressure fault codes present?
a. Yes; diagnose the fault first.
b. No; Go to step 9.

9. Turn the ignition OFF.
10. Use DEF test strip A0005850202 to check for diesel fuel or oil contamination of the DEF fluid; Refer to section
"Checking Diesel Exhaust Fluid Quality". Do the test strips or visual inspection indicate that the DEF is contaminated?
a. Yes; for diesel fuel or oil contamination, refer to 13 TS-17 (http://ddcsn-ddc.freightliner.com/cps/rde/xbcr/ddcsn/
13TS17.pdf) and refer to appropriate Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) literature for DEF tank cleaning/
flushing procedures. Refill the DEF tank with new DEF. Verify repair.
b. No; Go to step 11.
11. Using the refractometer from DEF Test Kit W060589001900, measure the DEF urea percentage. Is DEF urea
percentage between 31 and 34 percent?
a. Yes; Go to step 12.
b. No; clean/flush the DEF tank and the DEF system. Refer to section "Flushing of the Diesel Exhaust Fluid
System". Refill the DEF tank with new DEF. Verify repair.
12. Turn the ignition ON (key ON, engine OFF).
13. Inspect the area around the DEF dosing unit gasket for DEF crystallization. Is there any DEF crystallization build-up
present?
a. Yes; this indicates the gasket has failed, NOT the DEF dosing unit. Replace the gasket after completing the DEF
quantity test in the next step. Go to step 14.
b. No; Go to step 14.
14. Perform a DEF quantity test service routine; Refer to section "Diesel Exhaust Fluid Quantity Test - GHG14".
15. Monitor the amount of DEF dispensed into the DEF-safe container included in DEF test kit W060589001900. Is the
amount of DEF dispensed between 108 to 132 mL (3.7 to 4.5 oz.)?
a. Yes; reinstall the DEF Dosing Unit, using a new gasket and bolts, as these parts are one-time-use components.
Refer to section "Installation of the GHG14 Dosing System Doser. Go to step 16.
b. No; replace the DEF Dosing Unit, using a new gasket and bolts, as these parts are one-time-use components.
Refer to section "Removal of the GHG14 Dosing System Doser". Verify repair.
16. Disconnect the DEF dosing unit electrical connector.
WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST
To avoid injury from inhaling engine exhaust, always operate the engine in a well-ventilated area.
Engine exhaust is toxic.

WARNING: HOT EXHAUST
During parked regeneration the exhaust gases will be extremely HOT and could cause a fire if
directed at combustible materials. The vehicle must be parked outside.

WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY
To avoid injury before starting and running the engine, ensure the vehicle is parked on a level
surface, parking brake is set, and the wheels are blocked.
NOTE: Running the engine with DEF Doser Unit electronically disconnected will induce a DEF doser circuit fault
code. This code can be erased using DiagnosticLink™ once the DEF doser electrical connector is reconnected.
17. Start the engine and perform a complete parked regeneration. The regen will burn off any DEF deposits in the
aftertreatment before checking the NOx sensors.
18. Run the "Perform the GHG14 Perform Performance Check - Low Temp ATD". Refer to section "GHG14 Perform
Performance Check - Low Temperature ATD". Are the NOX sensor readings within 50 Parts Per Million (PPM) of
each other?
a. Yes; Go to step 20.
b. No; replace the outlet NOx sensor. Refer to section "Removal of the GHG14 Selective Catalytic Reduction Outlet
NOx Sensor". Go to step 19.

Parts Per Million (PPM) of each other?
a. Yes; Go to step 20.
b. No; replace the inlet NOx sensor. Refer to section "Removal of the GHG14 Selective Catalytic Reduction Inlet
NOx Sensor". Go to step 20.
