Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Muffler
Troubleshooting Guide - US10+OBD13 And Newer
Emissions
Component Overview
The SCR contains a coated substrate that, with the input of heat and DEF,
changes NOx into nitrogen and water vapor. The SCR's job in the Emissions
After-Treatment System (EATS) is to lower the NOx level emitted into the
atmosphere.
The performance of the SCR is evaluated by the NOx sensors. There are
NOx sensors that are located on upstream (inlet) and downstream (outlet)
ends of the SCR.
Important: the SCR is the last component in the EATS which makes
it susceptible to any upstream failures.
Primary failure mode of the Muffler (SCR) is:
Coating of the substrate being compromised
Indigestions of foreign objects such as oil, coolant, fuel, etc.
Diagnosis and Repair
Prior to proceeding with any of the information below, any codes,
symptoms or failures of upstream components must be diagnosed and
corrected first.
Upstream components include:
Base Engine (Starting or operation issues)
EGR System
Fuel System (Engine supply and aftertreatment hydrocarbon injector
supply)
Turbocharger/Boost
Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC)
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
Aftertreatment sensors (Exhaust temperature)

Evaluations for SCR Muffler Replacement
The following systems need to be evaluated in progressive order to
determine the state of the SCR.
1. DEF System - Test the Urea/DEF Systems functionality for proper:
Quality
Check DEF Quality using Refractometer (88890105)
Litmus Test paper (88890110)
Quantity
SCR Dosing Test in PTT, Operation 2589-08-03-05
subsection 1-3.
With the dosing nozzle removed, inspect for crystal build up.
If any of the above tests fail: Correct the issue, clear fault codes, and
release the truck.
2. NOx Sensor Condition - Evaluate the condition of both NOx
Sensors.
Look for the following:
Non-OEM (3rd party) sensors, use CBR-2114 for guidance.
Any/All NOx sensor fault codes. See CBR-2116 for a list of
these faults and recommendations.
If Non-OEM or faulty Nox Sensor(s) is found: Replace the sensor(s),
clear faults and release the truck.
3. NOx Sensor Function and SCR Assessment- Evaluate NOx sensor
function using the appropriate test for the vehicle's emission level,
indicated below. Follow the directions in the Action column for Nox or

Non-OEM (3rd Party) NOx Sensor Identification
Internal Content
If one or more of the codes below are present it is recommended to
inspect for 3rd party NOx sensors.
P103C-00
P207F-00
P026D-00
3rd party NOx sensors have been found to induce erroneous faults
and cause various system failures. If 3rd party NOx sensors are found
they should be removed and replaced with a genuine OEM sensor.
Clear faults and verify the repair.
Use the below information to identify 3rd
party NOx sensors.
How To Verify An OEM Sensor
For Trucks MY 2017 and newer products run Premium Tech Tool Test 170008-03-06 Sensor and Parameter Values. All genuine OEM NOx
sensors will display the expected values as seen below. All other
values are components from a 3rd party.
