Diagnostic Procedure

STEP	INSPECTION	RESULTS	ACTION
1	RECORD VEHICLE STATUS AT TIME OF DTC DETECTION TO UTILIZE WITH REPEATABILITY VERIFICATION Note • Recording can be facilitated using the screen capture function of the PC. • Record the snapshot data on the repair order.	—	Go to the next step.
2	VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY • Verify related Service Information availability. • Is any related Service Information available?	Yes	Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available Service Information. • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
2		No	Go to the next step.
3	INSPECT UREA LEVEL SENSOR/UREA TEMPERATURE SENSOR/UREA TANK HEATER CONNECTOR CONDITION • Switch the ignition off. • Disconnect the urea level sensor/urea temperature sensor/urea tank heater connector. • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion). • Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 9.
3		No	Go to the next step.
4	INSPECT DOSING CONTROL UNIT CONNECTOR CONDITION • Disconnect the dosing control unit connector. • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion). • Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 9.
4		No	Go to the next step.
5	INSPECT UREA TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND • Verify that the urea level sensor/urea temperature sensor/urea tank heater and dosing control unit connectors are disconnected. • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side) and body ground: ― Urea level sensor/urea temperature sensor/urea tank heater terminal C ― Urea level sensor/urea temperature sensor/urea tank heater terminal A • Is there continuity?	Yes	Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals: • Urea level sensor/urea temperature sensor/urea tank heater terminal C—dosing control unit terminal L • Urea level sensor/urea temperature sensor/urea tank heater terminal A—dosing control unit terminal AR If there is a common connector: • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground. • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
