Thawing of reductant in the SCR system
Check that the coolant level in the engine is not too low.To check that heating of the line between the main unit and the reductant doser is working. Start the engine and check that the suction line is getting warm. If not, check that the coolant from the engine is reaching it as it should do. Also check that the water valve is opening fully.If heating is taking place, remove and clean the injection nozzle, reductant doser and pipes.Carry out the system checks that are available in SDP3 for the SCR system. The system checks can help to detect some of the above faults.Proceed as follows to verify that the fault has been rectified:Carry out the test "Devalidating fault codes for NOx control" which can be found under the Check tab in SDP3 to check that the fault has been rectified. The test should be carried out outdoors because the exhaust gases become very hot and there is a risk that the exhaust extractor hose will melt. The test may take between approximately 5 to 30 minutes to carry out, depending on which fault codes are active.Otherwise, carry out the following so that the control unit will devalidate the fault.Start the engine and switch it off.If the fault has been rectified, the fault code becomes inactive. Clear the fault code.Switch the power off and on with the starter key three times in succession at 10 second intervals to extinguish the warning lamp.
What you'll see
No driver-visible symptom recorded.
System reaction
No system-reaction text recorded.
Diagnostic depth
The pressure in the SCR system does not fall as expected when the injection valve is open.
The fault may be due to:Frozen reductant in the pressure line.Frozen or crystallised reductant in the reductant doser, pipes or injection nozzle.
