So this is the second time I've had the exhaust fluid system fault come up. First time exactly 2 months ago. Truck went to the shop and after 5 days, lots of code clearing and regen cycles, they tell me its fixed. Well, apparently not. I've read lots of back and forth on here about the issue but is there actually a solve? Aside from the total delete? I've got km left on warranty and just don't want it coming back once warranty is off and have to pay for an ongoing know issue. I've had a lot of issues with this truck in my opinion. From DEF tank sensors to leaking rads, as well as the total shutdown with every bell and whistle lighting up the dash

Should be pretty easy to confirm this. The problem is it also threw up the Exhaust fluid System fault, speed limited to 50 mph in 50 miles warning. Just Strokin.

Well yesterday I was troublshooting this issue by ohming out the heater connector above the def tank. While working on it, I turned the truck key to on, engine not running, while the def tank sending unit was disconnected.

I did the drive cycle as described in the video above, and my exhaust system fault light went out after the 4th acceleration event. Carry out a closed pedal deceleration event without applying the brake for 6 seconds. I never saw it do an active regen. So an old battery charger to run the old def tank heater for a few hours did the trick to get the old part in. Originally Posted by Just Strokin.

I got it into the dealer just as it cleared. One of the biggest problems is that diagnosis is usually very time consuming and there are some flat rate technicians that will not spend the time. The federal alphabet people don't care if it helps people or not they just do their job in making the people miserable. It may get driven once every 2 to 3 weeks until the next camping trip. I cleared all the codes, plugged back in the def sender connector, and started the truck. My new def tank sender will be here tomorrow, and once I get it installed, I hope to go do the drive cycle and see if I can get it cleared up. No charge.

New one went in without much fuss, other than all the dust that wanted to fall on my face with every bolt I reinstalled. For the amount of money these vehicles cost today, I would hope a better effort would be put forth by Ford to address the issues for the customer.
