ECU 003361.04 – DEF Dosing Injector Signal Out of Range Low. John Deere System Advisory.
ECU 003361.04 (ECU 3361.04)
Code: 003361.04
Shortcode: 3361.04
Description:
This diagnostic trouble code is set when the DEF dosing injector signal falls too low, indicative of a short to ground. This malfunction can disrupt the normal operation of the DEF injector, potentially under-dosing the fluid and affecting NOx reduction.
Reaction:
The control system may alter DEF dosing or trigger warnings to indicate suboptimal dosing conditions, potentially leading to increased emissions.
Recommendations:
- Check Injector Wiring: Look for potential sources of grounding in the wiring to the DEF dosing injector that might cause the low signal.
- Test Electrical Output: Utilize a multimeter to verify low signal levels and identify the exact point of the short.
- Repair Electrical Issues: Fix any identified shorts to ground, and replace damaged wires or connectors.
- Reset ECU and Confirm Correct Operation: After making the necessary electrical repairs, reset the ECU to remove the error state and conduct tests to ensure the DEF dosing system functions properly.
Note:
Accurate signaling is essential for precise DEF dosing. Ensuring the electrical circuit’s integrity helps maintain compliance with emissions standards and overall engine performance.
