Issue
Symptom:
• Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) dosing unit heater elements can be discolored caused by
chemical reactions between aluminum housing and DEF.
• DEF dosing valve inlet screen can become plugged with debris when corrosion on
the DEF dosing unit heating element flakes off.
• A plugged DEF dosing valve inlet screen will typically lead to FC1682, FC3574,
and/or FC3596.

Note : Additional DEF system related fault codes can be present.
Verification/Confirmation
Verify symptoms and/or listed Fault Codes are present.
Resolution
If DEF dosing valve inlet screen is found to be plugged with debris, and corrosion on
DEF dosing unit heating element is flaking off:
• DEF dosing unit and DEF dosing valve inlet screen must be replaced. DEF pressure
line, between DEF dosing unit and DEF dosing valve must be flushed with distilled
water to remove any residual debris.
• See Figure 1 for an example of a plugged DEF dosing valve inlet screen.
• See Figure 2 for an example of a DEF dosing unit heating element with corrosion
that is flaking off.
If DEF dosing valve inlet screen is not plugged with debris and there is corrosion on DEF
dosing unit heating element, but is not flaking off:
• Do not replace DEF dosing unit (for this condition). All DEF dosing units will have
some level of discoloration/corrosion internally.
• See Figure 3 for an example of a clean DEF dosing valve inlet screen.
• See Figures 4, 5, and 6 for examples of DEF dosing units with acceptable levels of
discoloration/corrosion.
Note : If DEF dosing valve inlet screen was removed from DEF dosing valve
during inspection, DEF dosing valve inlet screen must be replaced.
