Circuit/System Description

The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) temperature sensors are variable resistors that measure the temperature of the exhaust gas at the inlet and outlet of the EGR cooler. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts to the EGR temperature sensor signal circuit and a ground for the low reference circuit. When the EGR temperature sensor is cold, the sensor resistance is high. When the EGR temperature increases, the sensor resistance decreases. With high sensor resistance, the ECM detects a higher voltage on the EGR temperature signal circuit. With lower sensor resistance, the ECM detects a lower voltage on the EGR temperature signal circuit.

The diesel oxidation catalyst, main function is to control emissions of non methane hydrocarbons and soluble organic fraction. Its secondary function is to assist with the diesel particulate filter (DPF) regeneration, by obtaining and sustaining the temperature necessary for regeneration. In order to generate the high exhaust temperatures needed for regeneration, the aftertreatment system increases exhaust temperatures by injecting diesel fuel directly into the exhaust gases entering the DOC. This is accomplished by means of an ECM-controlled fuel injector called the hydrocarbon injector (HCI), also referred to as the indirect fuel injector or exhaust aftertreatment fuel injector. The fuel injector is located in the exhaust pipe upstream of the DOC. The injected fuel is converted into heat by the DOC to incinerate soot accumulated in the DPF. The engine control module (ECM) monitors the exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor 1 and 2 to determine if the operating temperature of the catalyst is achieved during a regeneration event.

The hydrocarbon conversion to oxygen is calculated from the heat flow in the oxidation catalyst, based on measured and modeled temperatures, to determine the efficiency of the oxidation catalyst. The modeled temperatures are calculated using the injection quantity and air mass flow. When the ECM detects that the diesel oxidation catalyst hydrocarbon conversion rate is below a calibrated threshold during an active regeneration event this DTC sets.

  1. The hydrocarbon converted in the diesel oxidation catalyst is greater than 115 g and the hydrocarbon mass flow is greater than 0.0009 g/s.
  2. The ECM is commanding a regeneration.
  3. The exhaust gas temperature sensor 1 is greater than 250°C (482°F).
  4. The engine speed is between 700-3,400 RPM.
  5. The barometric pressure (BARO) is greater than 74.8 kPa (10.8 psi).
  6. The ambient air temperature is greater than -7°C (19.4°F).
  7. DTC P0420 runs once per driving cycle when the above conditions are met.

The ECM determines that the efficiency of the diesel oxidation catalyst has degraded below a calibrated threshold.

  1. DTC P0420 is a Type B DTC.
  2. DPF regeneration is inhibited.

DTC P0420 is a Type B DTC.

  1. Perform the «Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle»(/chevrolet/express-g2500/2013-2013/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information-diagnostic-information-and-procedures) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
  2. Review «Strategy Based Diagnosis»(/chevrolet/express-g2500/2013-2013/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information-diagnostic-information-and-procedures__strategy-based-diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
  3. «Diagnostic Procedure Instructions»(/chevrolet/express-g2500/2013-2013/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information-diagnostic-information-and-procedures__diagnostic-procedure-instructions) provide an overview of each diagnostic category.
  1. The use of off road red dye fuel or continuing use of non ultra low sulfur fuel may be a contributor to diesel oxidation catalyst failure.
  2. If exhaust gas temperature sensor 4 is greater than exhaust gas temperature sensor 2 during an extended (greater than 5 min) steady state DPF regeneration event, the fuel from the indirect fuel injector is being consumed in the DPF. This may indicate that the diesel oxidation catalyst is not functioning properly.

EGR Position Sensor

The engine control module (ECM) uses the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) position sensor to determine the position of the EGR valve. The ECM sends a reference voltage through the 5-volt reference circuit to the EGR position sensor. The ECM provides a voltage return path for the sensor through the low reference circuit. A variable voltage signal, based on the EGR valve position, is sent from the sensor to the ECM through the EGR position sensor signal circuit. The ECM compares the actual EGR position with the desired EGR position when the EGR valve is commanded open or closed.

The EGR valve is controlled by the ECM through the EGR motor high control and the EGR motor low control circuits. The ECM supplies voltage that is near ignition voltage to the high and low control circuits at all times. The ECM will pulse width modulate the low control circuit to ground when EGR is desired. The lower the pulse width, the more the valve will open. The ECM will pulse width modulate the high control circuit to ground when the EGR valve is desired closed.

  1. Engine speed is greater than 600 RPM.
  2. The Battery voltage is greater than 11 V.
  3. The Air Intake Heater duty cycle is less than 5 %.

The offset of the EGR valve is checked after the offset learning has been completed in after-run/post drive. The difference between the maximum and minimum EGR valve offset values is calculated by the Engine Control Module (ECM). If the difference is above a calibrated threshold or the offset learned value is not within a calibrated range, a fault is recognized. While the offset learning is active, the EGR valve is checked for a jammed valve. If the valve is stuck during opening or closing for a calibrated time, a fault is reported. If either of these conditions occur, the DTC will be set.

  1. DTC P0403, P0405, P0406, or P140F is not set.
  2. The ignition is OFF and the engine is in after-run/post drive.

1. Engine Oil Pressure Indicator Malfunction

The engine oil pressure (EOP) sensor changes voltage based on the engine oil pressure. The EOP sensor is a 3-wire sensor comprising of the signal circuit, the low reference circuit and the 5-volt reference circuit. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts to the EOP sensor via the 5-volt reference circuit and provides ground via the EOP low reference circuit. The ECM monitors the signal circuit of the EOP sensor to determine the EOP sensor voltage is within the normal operating range of approximately 1-4 volts. When the engine oil pressure is high, the EOP sensor voltage is high and the ECM senses a high signal voltage. When the engine oil pressure is low, the EOP sensor voltage is low and the ECM senses a low signal voltage. The ECM sends the EOP information to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) via the serial data circuit.

The engine is running.

P0522

  1. The ECM detects that the EOP sensor signal circuit is less than 0.1 volt.
  2. The above condition is present for greater than 10 seconds.

P0523

  1. The ECM detects that the EOP sensor signal circuit is greater than 4.4 volts.
  2. The above condition is present for greater than 10 seconds.
  1. The ECM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostics test fails. The ECM displays this information in the Failure Records on the scan tool.
  2. The IPC illuminates the EOP indicator.
  1. The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present.
  2. The history DTC clears after 40 malfunction-free warm-up cycles.

EGT Sensor 1-4

The exhaust gas temperature sensors are variable resistors that measure the temperature of the exhaust at the inlet and outlet of the diesel oxidation catalyst as well as the inlet and outlet of the diesel particulate filter (DPF). The engine control module (ECM) supplies a bias 5-volt signal to the exhaust gas temperature sensor signal circuit, and supplies a ground to the low reference circuit. The exhaust gas temperature information is used by the ECM during the particulate filter cleaning process.

The following table illustrates the relationship between the temperature of the exhaust gas and the resistance and voltage at the exhaust gas temperature sensor.

The brake pedal position (BPP) sensor is part of the engine brake pedal override feature. The engine control module (ECM) continuously monitors the vehicle speed and the position of the brake pedal. These two main inputs, along with other ECM inputs are used to determine if the vehicle is decelerating at the proper speed and rate with the brake pedal applied. When the engine brake pedal override system is active, the ECM reduces engine torque to assist in reducing vehicle speed.

The BPP sensor is a six wire sensor, and is part of a dual brake position sensor. One BPP Sensor is used for the stop lamps and the other BPP Sensor is used for the engine brake pedal override feature. The BPP Sensor for engine brake pedal override communicates with the ECM. The ECM supplies a 5 V reference circuit, low reference circuit, and signal circuit to the BPP sensor. The BPP sensor sends a voltage signal to the ECM on the signal circuit. The voltage on the signal circuit will vary from a voltage greater than 0.25 V when the brake pedal is released to a voltage less than 4.75 V when the brake pedal is fully applied.

For information on the Stop Lamps side of the BPP Sensor, refer to Exterior Lighting Systems Description and Operation .

The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system reduces oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions by injecting a metered amount of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) or reductant into the exhaust gas stream entering the SCR catalyst. Within the SCR catalyst, the reductant reacts with the NOx to form nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. Upstream and downstream NOx sensors provide the engine control module (ECM) with engine-out and tailpipe-out NOx levels. The ECM varies the amount of reductant added by varying the reductant injector duty cycle in response to changes in engine-out NOx levels.

The ECM supplies system voltage to the reductant pump motor. The ECM controls the solenoid by grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called a driver. The driver is equipped with a feedback circuit that is pulled-up to a voltage. The ECM can determine if the control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage. The ECM supplies a ground to the low reference circuit. As the duty-cycle increases, the output of the reductant pump increases.

Conditions for Running the DTCs

  1. DTCs P204F, P20A1, or P2510 are not set
  2. The battery voltage is greater than 11 V.
  3. The engine speed is greater than 600 RPM for at least 10 s.
  4. The DTCs run continuously when the above conditions are met.

The ECM detects that the commanded state of the driver and the actual state of the control circuit do not match for greater than 3 s.

  1. DTCs P1043, P1044, P208A, and P208D are Type A DTCs.

The reductant purge valve controls the flow of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). In the normally de-energized state, the purge valve directs reductant from the pump to the reductant injector. When the ignition is turned OFF, the engine control module (ECM) energizes both the reductant purge valve and reductant pump for about 30 to 45 seconds to purge the supply line of reductant. The ECM also commands the reductant injector to 100% to prevent vacuum from forming during the purge process. Purging prevents the reductant from freezing in the pump or supply line to the reductant injector. The ECM will set a DTC when an abnormal voltage condition on the purge valve circuit is detected.

The ECM provides battery voltage on the actuator high control circuit and ground on the actuator low control circuit. Both circuits are controlled through output drivers within the ECM. The ECM monitors the voltage on the circuits to detect a failure.

  1. Battery voltage is greater than 11 V.
  2. Engine speed is greater than 600 RPM for at least 10 s.
  3. The DTCs run continuously when the above conditions are met.

The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system reduces oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions by injecting a metered amount of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) or reductant into the exhaust gas stream entering the SCR catalyst. Within the SCR catalyst, the reductant reacts with the NOx to form nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. Upstream and downstream NOx sensors provide the engine control module (ECM) with engine-out and tailpipe-out NOx levels. The ECM varies the amount of reductant added by varying the reductant injector duty-cycle in response to changes in engine-out NOx levels.

The ECM supplies voltage to the reductant injector on the injector high control circuit. The ECM turns ON the reductant injector by grounding the low control circuit of the injector.

  1. Engine is running.
  2. Battery voltage is greater than 11 V.
  3. ECM is commanding the reductant injector duty cycle greater than 0%.

EGT Sensor 2

The exhaust gas temperature sensors are variable resistors that measure the temperature of the exhaust gas at the inlet and outlet of the diesel oxidation catalyst as well as the inlet and outlet of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). The Engine Control Module (ECM) supplies a bias 5-volt signal to the exhaust gas temperature sensor signal circuit, and supplies a ground to the low reference circuit. The exhaust gas temperature information is used by the ECM during the particulate filter cleaning process.

The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system reduces oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions by injecting a metered amount of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) or reductant into the exhaust gas stream entering the SCR catalyst. Within the SCR catalyst, the reductant reacts with the NOx to form nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. Upstream and downstream NOx sensors provide the engine control module (ECM) with engine-out and tailpipe-out NOx levels. The ECM varies the amount of reductant added by varying the reductant injector duty-cycle in response to changes in engine-out NOx levels. The ECM supplies voltage to the reductant injector on the injector high control circuit. The ECM turns ON the reductant injector by grounding the low control circuit of the injector. The reductant injector temperature is modeled based on internal injector resistance of the injector coil and is used to monitor the temperature of the injector to prevent damage.

  1. Ignition has been OFF for greater than 8 hours.
  2. Reductant dosing has not been requested by the ECM.
  3. Engine is running for less than 10 s.
  4. Ambient air temperature is greater than -60°C (-76°F)
  5. Battery voltage is greater than 11 V.
  6. DTC P10D0 runs once per key cycle when the above conditions are met.

An implausible injector coil temperature is detected by comparing the coil temperature with the EGT sensor 2 as a reference temperature. This is done after a sufficient engine off time and before the coil has been energized. If the absolute difference between the coil and reference temperature is greater than a calibrated threshold, then P10D0 is set.

DTC P10D0 is a Type B DTC

The fuel temperature sensor is a thermistor. The engine control module (ECM) supplies the fuel temperature sensor a bias voltage of 5 volts on the signal circuit and also provides a low reference circuit to the sensor. When the fuel temperature sensor is cold, the resistance is high. The fuel temperature sensor signal voltage remains near the 5 volt bias voltage cold and decreases as the sensor warms. The ECM compares the fuel temperature between fuel temperature sensor 1 and fuel temperature sensor 2 at engine start up. If the difference is above the calibrated threshold, the fault will be detected unless a block heater was responsible for the deviation.

  1. Engine temperature is greater than -60° C (-76° F).
  2. Engine speed is between 600-850 RPM.

The reductant system uses two nitrogen oxide (NOx) sensors to monitor the amount of NOx in the engine's exhaust gas. The first sensor is located at the outlet of the turbocharger and monitors the engine out NOx level. The second NOx sensor is located between the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and monitors NOx levels downstream of the SCR. The second NOx sensor also provides the engine control module (ECM) with information on the exhaust oxygen level during DPF regeneration.

Each NOx sensor contains a sensing cell, a pumping cell, and a heater. A sample of exhaust gas passes through a diffusion gap between the sensing cell and the pumping cell. The NOx sensor maintains a constant reference voltage across the sensing cell. An electronic circuit within sensor controls the pump current through the pumping cell in order to maintain a constant voltage in the sensing cell. The amount of current required to maintain the reference voltage in the sensing cell is proportional to the concentration of NOx in the exhaust.

The ECM varies the amount of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) or reductant added by varying the reductant injector duty cycle in response to changes in engine exhaust out NOx levels.

The smart NOx sensors consist of two components, the NOx module and the NOx sensor element that are serviced as a unit. A circuit or performance condition with a NOx sensor is detected by the NOx sensor module. The smart NOx sensor module communicates the condition to the ECM over the serial data line. The ECM sets a DTC when a serial data message is received from the NOx sensor module.

The selective catalytic reduction system reduces oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions by injecting a metered amount of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF)or reductant into the exhaust gas stream entering the diesel particulate filter (DPF). Within the selective catalytic reduction catalyst, the reductant reacts with the NOx to form nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. Upstream and downstream NOx sensors provide the engine control module (ECM) with engine-out and tailpipe-out NOx levels.

The ECM uses the 2 NOx sensors to control exhaust NOx levels. The NOx sensor measures the amount of NOx and oxygen in the exhaust system. The first NOx sensor is located at the outlet of the turbocharger and monitors the engine out NOx. The second NOx sensor is located in the DPF that monitors NOx levels exiting the DPF. The ECM varies the amount of reductant added by varying the reductant injector duty cycle in response to changes in engine exhaust out NOx levels.

  1. BARO pressure is greater than 75 kPa (11 psi).
  2. Ambient air and reductant temperatures are warmer than -7°C (+19°F) and the reductant tank is not in frozen tank status.
  3. Engine speed is between 1,000-3,000 RPM for at least 10 s.
  4. Average selective catalytic reduction temperature is between 240-290°C (464-564°F).
  5. Emission reduction fluid tank level is above 33%.
  6. Battery voltage is greater than 11 V for greater than 3 s.
  7. DPF regeneration is not active.
  8. Engine ON time must be less than 25 minutes.
  9. The DTCs run during key off after-run after the above conditions are met and the fault exists for more than 3 events during a key cycle.

Due to aging and poisoning of the sensor element the characteristics could change and have to be monitored. Therefore a self diagnosis is implemented within the sensor control unit which is determining a measurement deviation in relation to a reference point defined during sensor production.

P11D7

The NOx sensor control unit sends a unique message to the ECM upon the self-diagnosis being aborted. The number of aborts is tracked by the ECM. If the number of self diagnostic aborts exceeds a threshold, the DTC is set.

P22FE

The NOx sensor self diagnostic result is received from the NOx sensor control unit and stored in a ring buffer, which takes the average of the last calibrated number of test results and averages them for comparison to an upper and lower calibrated threshold. If the average result is greater than or less than the calibrated thresholds, a NOx sensor self diagnostic fault will be set.

The reductant system uses two nitrogen oxide (NOx) sensors to monitor the amount of NOx in the engine's exhaust gas. The first sensor is located at the outlet of the turbocharger and monitors the engine out NOx level. The second NOx sensor is located between the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and monitors NOx levels downstream of the SCR. The second NOx sensor also provides the engine control module (ECM) with information on the exhaust oxygen level during DPF regeneration.

Each NOx sensor contains a sensing cell, a pumping cell, and a heater. A sample of exhaust gas passes through a diffusion gap between the sensing cell and the pumping cell. The NOx sensor maintains a constant reference voltage across the sensing cell. An electronic circuit within sensor controls the pump current through the pumping cell in order to maintain a constant voltage in the sensing cell. The amount of current required to maintain the reference voltage in the sensing cell is proportional to the concentration of NOx in the exhaust.

The ECM varies the amount of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) or reductant added by varying the reductant injector duty cycle in response to changes in engine exhaust out NOx levels.

The smart NOx sensors consist of two components, the NOx module and the NOx sensor element that are serviced as a unit. A circuit or performance condition with a NOx sensor is detected by the NOx sensor module. The smart NOx sensor module communicates the condition to the ECM over the serial data line. The ECM sets a DTC when a serial data message is received from the NOx sensor module.

The engine control module (ECM) supplies a high voltage supply circuit and a high voltage control circuit for each fuel injector. The injector high voltage supply circuit and the high voltage control circuit are both controlled by the ECM. The ECM energizes each fuel injector by grounding the control circuit and supplying each fuel injector with up to 250 V and 20 A on the voltage supply circuit to activate the piezo type fuel injectors. This is controlled by boost capacitors in the ECM. During the 250 V boost phase, the capacitor is used to charge the injector piezo stack, allowing for injector opening. The injector is then held open with this high voltage. At the end of the injection event the ECM closes the injector by discharging the injector piezo stack. The ECM monitors the status of the voltage supply and voltage control circuits. The injectors are separated into the following four groups

  1. Group 1- injectors 1 and 4
  2. Group 2- injectors 6 and 7
  3. Group 3- injectors 2 and 5
  4. Group 4- injectors 3 and 8

When a fuel injector circuit fault condition is detected by the ECM, the specific fuel injector, or the two fuel injectors in the affected group may be disabled. DTCs for the injector and/or group may set.

  1. Engine speed is greater than 600 RPM.
  2. The charging system voltage is between 10-18 V.

The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve is controlled by the engine control module (ECM). The ECM controls the EGR valve by supplying a 12-volt pulse width modulated (PWM) signal to the EGR solenoid low control circuit and 12 volts to the high control circuit. The ECM monitors the difference between the desired Mass Air Flow (MAF) and the actual MAF over a calibrated sampling time. If the average difference between desired and actual MAF during the specified time period is less than or greater than a calibrated threshold level the response time of detected EGR flow is determined to be out of range.

Note. Occasionally, when using an EGR device control, Engine Reduced Power and Clean Exhaust Filter messages may occur after a short delay when commanding large EGR positions. The messages are a result of ECM protecting hardware during device control mode. No DTCs will be stored and the Diesel Particulate Filter does not need to be service cleaned. Exiting device control will restore normal function.

  1. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Desired EGR Position and the EGR Position Sensor parameters. Command the EGR valve between 0-40 % and back down to 0 % within 20 s with a scan tool. The parameters should respond quickly and remain within 3 % throughout the commanded range.
  2. Engine running command the EGR Valve to 40 % with a scan tool, then increase the engine speed to 2,500 RPM. The engine should run rough.
  3. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify that the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Note. Perform the Circuit System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.

The particulates in the exhaust gases are collected by the diesel particulate filter (DPF). When the filter becomes saturated with particulates, they are oxidized by a regeneration process. The regeneration process increases the exhaust gas temperature, heating the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), and the DPF. The accumulated particulate matter in the DPF will then be safely converted to harmless gases and the DPF will then be clean and ready to filter additional particulate matter.

The engine control module (ECM) monitors the system with inputs from the exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensors and a differential pressure sensor. This diesel particulate filter diagnostic provides a means for monitoring the exhaust particulate filter efficiency. The resistive exhaust flow is monitored to determine if a DPF substrate is missing or a defined DPF failure has occurred. The resistive exhaust flow is calculated from mass air flow and DPF differential pressure. This diagnostic will run after a successful regeneration event has completed. This includes a successful service regeneration event.

The control functions for the fuel injection system are integrated in the engine control module (ECM). During the manufacturing process, each injector's flow rate is measured and recorded as injection quantity adjustment (IQA) flow rate data. The flow rate data is then etched as a hexadecimal number on the body of the injector. This data, together with the injector's cylinder position, is stored in the memory of both the glow plug control module (GPCM) and the ECM. When the ignition is turned ON, the GPCM and the ECM compare the IQA Data . If any of the injector flow rate numbers are incorrect in either of the control modules, this diagnostic will set the appropriate DTC.

The particulates in the exhaust gases are collected by the diesel particulate filter (DPF). When the filter becomes saturated with particulates, they are oxidized by a regeneration process. The regeneration process increases the exhaust gas temperature, heating the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), and the DPF. The accumulated particulate matter in the DPF will then be safely converted to harmless gases and the DPF will then be clean and ready to filter additional particulate matter.

The engine control module (ECM) monitors the system with inputs from two exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensors 1 and 2 and a differential pressure sensor . This diesel particulate filter diagnostic provides a means for monitoring the exhaust particulate filter efficiency. The resistive exhaust flow is monitored to determine if a DPF substrate is missing or a defined DPF failure has occurred. The resistive exhaust flow is calculated from mass air flow and DPF differential pressure. This diagnostic will run after a successful regeneration event has completed. This includes a successful service regeneration event.

DEF Dosing Valve Low ControlP1048, P2048P2047P2047P202E, P249D, P249E

The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system reduces oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions by injecting a metered amount of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) or reductant into the exhaust gas stream entering the SCR catalyst. Within the SCR catalyst, the reductant reacts with the NOx to form nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. Upstream and downstream NOx sensors provide the engine control module (ECM) with engine-out and tailpipe-out NOx levels. The ECM varies the amount of reductant added by varying the reductant injector duty-cycle in response to changes in engine-out NOx levels.

The ECM supplies voltage to the reductant injector on the injector high control circuit. The ECM turns ON the reductant injector by grounding the low control circuit of the injector.

It is common for reductant to crystallize over the nozzle of the reductant injector. The crystals will dissolve with use and the reductant injector will resume full functionality. The Reductant Quantity test may need to be performed multiple times to dissolve the crystallized reductant before diagnosing the reductant injector for performance issues.

The reductant level/temperature sensor is a solid-state device that provides the engine control module (ECM) with information on reductant level and temperature. The level/temperature sensor receives system voltage directly from the underhood electrical center and ground through a chassis ground circuit. The level sensor consists of three sensing elements. Reductant level sensor 3 is highest, reductant level sensor 2 is located between sensor 1 and 3. Reductant level sensor 1 is located at low reductant level. Reductant level sensor 3 is located at less than half range of the reductant tank level. The scan tool will display Active when the level sensors are in contact with reductant and Inactive when not in contact with reductant. An integrated temperature sensor monitors reductant temperature. Reductant level and temperature signals are processed within the sensor and supplied to the ECM as serial data messages. The ECM will set a DTC when it detects an invalid level or temperature serial data message from the sensor.
