Issue Summary
An issue with the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) controller is causing line heater fault
codes to come active after installation in cold climates.
Symptom:
Line heater fault codes: FC3258, FC3261, and FC3425, are active after the installation of a
new DEF controller.
Root Cause:
Fault codes are caused by a DEF controller issue.
Verification
DEF controller compatibility issue causes the DEF controller to fail the internal line heater
diagnostic test and triggers line heater fault codes when the line heater circuit is activated.
This issue affects DEF controllers, Part Numbers 5283311 and 5283311RX, built between 5
May 2021 and 15 December 2021.

Part Identification
The build date code printed on the DEF controller is in YY-MM-DD format.
Example Date: 21-06-11 is 11 June 2021. See Figure 1.
DEF controllers built within the affected time period with a green dot on the DEF controller
label have been recalibrated to address the line heater fault code issue and are good parts.
See Figure 2.

Figure 2, DEF Controller Label with Green Dot.
Resolution
DEF controllers marked with a green dot, or built outside of the affected time period, must be
utilized.
Work is in-process to release a service DEF controller calibration fix for the affected DEF
controllers built between 5 May 2021 and 15 December 2021, but timing for this fix has not
been finalized.
