1. DEF Symbol2. DEF Gauge Warning Lamp

The DEF lamp(s) will illuminate when thefluid in the DEF tank reaches a low level. Ifthe lamp illuminates but the level is full,seek service immediately for DEF fluidquality or DEF equipment repair.

High Exhaust System Temperature(HEST) Warning LampEngine aftertreatment system includes ahigh exhaust system temperature (HEST)warning lamp.

Keep vehicle a safe distance fromcombustible items.

WARNING

Temperature of the tail pipe, exhaustpipe, the diesel particular filter (DPF) /selective catalytic reduction (SCR) de-vice and surrounding components in-cluding enclosures and steps, will be

elevated during and shortly after a re-generation event or normal vehicle op-eration when engine is under high orheavy loading.

If the High Exhaust System Temperature(HEST) warning lamp is on:

• Do not park in an area ofcombustible vapors or materials.You must keep combustibles atleast 1.5 m (5 ft) away from theexhaust (outlet) stream (as it exitsthe tail pipe) while the HEST lampis illuminated. Always park yourvehicle outside. Failure to do socould ignite an explosion or harmbystanders which could result inserious injury.

• Do not park in an area wherepeople are close by. You must keepcombustibles at least 1.5 m (5 ft)away from the exhaust outlet whilethe HEST lamp is illuminated.Failure to do so could result inserious injury.

• Do not approach the exhaustsystem or surrounding areaswithout allowing adequate time forthe system to cool down. Failure to

do so could result in serious burnsto the skin.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp

Illuminates when an engine emissionsfailure has occurred. The vehicle can besafely driven but should be serviced tocorrect the problem. The situation shouldnot be considered an emergency. In somecases, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp(MIL) will activate in conjunction with theHigh Exhaust System Temperature(HEST), Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) andDiesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) warning lamps.

NOTE

The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)will illuminate if the on-board diagnos-tics (OBD) system detects a possibleemissions system failure. The vehicleshould be brought in for service at thenext opportunity to ensure the condi-tion is corrected.

Emissions System Lamp

Perform the following steps if an emissionsrelated derate occurs and the emissionslamp comes on.

1. Add DEF fluid (more than 1/4 tank).2. Perform parked regeneration.3. Seek service at the next stop if the

warning light is still on.

Stop Engine Lamp

1 2The stop engine warning lamp willilluminate, and an audible tone will sound,when a major engine problem exists. Yourvehicle will be equipped with one of theindicators above, 1 or 2, depending on theengine model.

WARNING

If the Stop Engine warning lamp illumi-nates, it means you have a serious en-gine system problem. This should beconsidered an emergency. You shouldstop the vehicle as safely as possibleand turn OFF the ignition. The vehiclemust be serviced and the problem cor-rected before driving again. Failure tocomply may result in death, personalinjury, equipment or property damage.

For engines with the engine-protectionshutdown feature enabled, the stop enginelamp will begin to flash 30 seconds beforethe engine automatically shuts down. Thewarning lamp alerts the operator to theimpending shutdown.The lamp will also illuminate when the DEFtank is almost empty or the soot level in theDPF is at full capacity. At this levelwarning, regeneration cannot be performedand engine power will be derated.Engine may automatically shut down if thecheck engine lamp and stop engine lampare illuminated and the operator does notcorrect the condition.

What is a DieselParticulate Filter?

The diesel particulate filter is a componentof the overall vehicle emission system thattraps particulate matter, soot, from theexhaust. Soot is composed of the partiallyburned particles of fuel that occur duringnormal engine operation (black smoke).

Functionality / NotificationInformation

The ATS will regenerate the DPF by usinghot exhaust gases normally generated bythe engine. This typically occurs duringhighway operation (known as "Passive"Regeneration) and is transparent to theoperation of the vehicle.Occasionally, the exhaust gases are nothot enough for Passive Regeneration.When this occurs, the ATS will regeneratethe DPF by increasing the exhausttemperature. This is referred to as an"Automatic" Regeneration and is alsotransparent to vehicle operation. AnAutomatic Regeneration event typically

lasts 30 minutes. During and shortly afterthe event, the exhaust gases from the DPFmay reach temperatures in excess of 650°C (1202° F). See the information in thefollowing table on probable causes andrecommended actions related to thewarning lamps and indicator symbols of theATS.The ATS may not be able to regenerate theDPF when the vehicle is driven atextended low speeds or with frequentstarts and stops. In such cases, warninglamps and indicator symbols will alert theoperator to take action. The operatorshould be aware of whether the lamps areon unaccompanied or in combination withothers. The following table will describeeach warning lamp(s) and what actions areneeded from the operator.Related concepts

Extended Idling

Idling the engine for 3 or more hours infreezing temperatures accelerates the buildup of soot in the DPF. The system willilluminate the DPF warning light on theinstrument cluster to indicate that the DPFrequires regeneration. If the DPF Lampturns on, follow the instructions describedunder How to Enable an AutomaticRegeneration of the DPF on page 21.

CAUTION

If you ignore the warning lamp and donot initiate regeneration at the soon-est, safest possible time, the DPF willbecome increasingly clogged with sootand can lead to severe engine derate.Failure to comply may result in equip-ment or property damage.

Extended idling may also increasehydrocarbon deposits and moisture in theDPF. The engine will increase RPM

automatically, regardless if the DPF lamp ison or off, to remove these hydrocarbondeposits and moisture. The engine speedwill remain elevated for 20 to 60 minutes. If necessary, the RPMs can be lowered bydepressing the throttle, clutch, or brakepedal. The system will restart this cyclewith high idle until all of the deposits areremoved from the DPF. If the vehiclecannot perform an automatic cycle, thedriver will be prompted with a message toRegenerate the DPF. If the levels ofhydrocarbon deposits and moisturecontinue to build up, the system willilluminate the DPF Lamp along with theStop Engine Lamp.

CAUTION

The engine derate sequence is enginespecific; therefore, to learn how thissystem works on your vehicle, refer tothe Engine Manufacturer's Operationand Maintenance Manual suppliedwith your vehicle. Failure to complymay result in equipment or propertydamage.

WARNING

If the Stop Engine warning lamp illumi-nates, it means you have a serious en-gine system problem. This should beconsidered an emergency. You shouldstop the vehicle as safely as possibleand turn OFF the ignition. The vehiclemust be serviced and the problem cor-rected before driving again. Failure tocomply may result in death, personalinjury, equipment or property damage.

Controlling RegenerationProcess

Regeneration SwitchesThe following information explains how tocontrol the regeneration process and usethe regeneration switch.

Your vehicle may be equipped with either atwo or three position Regeneration Switch,mounted on the dash.If equipped with a two-positionRegeneration Switch, the driver can initiatea Parked Regeneration when certainoperating conditions are suitable forregeneration; however, you will NOT beable to Stop a regeneration if the ATS hasinitiated one automatically. A vehicle with atwo-position DPF switch can stop aregeneration by turning the vehicle ignitionOFF.If your vehicle is equipped with a three-position Regeneration Switch, the drivercan control the regeneration process viathe MANUAL or DISABLE positions of theswitch. The DISABLE position should beused when certain operating conditions arenot suitable for regeneration.

WARNING

If you operate in environments thatcontain explosive vapors or flammablematerials, look to see if your vehicle’sRegeneration Switch is equipped witha DISABLE function. The DISABLEfunction must be activated prior to en-tering the above environment(s) toprevent automatic engine regenerationfrom occurring, which could cause anexplosion or fire. Failing to activate theDISABLE function before entering acombustible environment may causean explosion or fire that could lead todeath, personal injury, equipment orproperty damage.

WARNING

Avoid operating the vehicle inside abuilding or in environments that con-tain explosive vapors or flammablematerials if your vehicle does NOThave a STOP or DISABLE regenera-tion switch. In an event where the re-generation needs to be stopped, turnthe vehicle ignition OFF and the sys-tem will temporarily stop the regenera-tion cycle. Failing to stop a regenera-tion cycle before entering a combusti-ble environment may cause an explo-sion or fire that could lead to death,personal injury, equipment or propertydamage.

CAUTION

Do not leave the switch in the DISA-BLE position unless you need to can-cel or stop a regeneration. Runningthe engine with the switch in the DISA-BLE position will result in increasedsoot levels in the DPF and could even-tually cause the engine to derate.

NOTE

Contact your nearest authorized PAC-CAR dealer to obtain a RegenerationSwitch with a DISABLE function. In-stalling the switch will require that theengine ECU be reprogrammed.

Two-Position Regeneration Switch

If your operation or planned route in theimmediate future limits your ability to reachhighway speeds, proceed to the nextsection titled Parked Regeneration.Related concepts

How to Start a ParkedRegeneration

In very limited applications or operationsthe DPF must be regenerated by initiatinga Parked Regeneration. Follow these stepsto initiate a Parked Regeneration:

1. Pull the vehicle over to a safelocation.

2. Ensure no one is in the immediatevicinity of the tail pipe.

3. Maintain a minimum of 1.5 m (5 ft)of clearance to any combustiblematerials from the edge and top ofthe vehicle.

WARNING

Parking the vehicle too close to anycombustible materials or vapors maystart a fire, ignite an explosion or burnsomeone standing close by. Beforepushing the Regeneration Switch onthe dash, walk around your vehicleand ensure you have at least 1.5 m (5ft) clearance from the sides and top ofyour vehicle to any combustibles. En-sure no one is in the immediate vicinityof the tail pipe. Failure to comply couldignite a fire or cause an explosion, re-sulting in death, personal injury, equip-ment or property damage.

WARNING

Never initiate a regeneration in aclosed building or enclosure. Alwayspark your vehicle outside and ensureno one is in the immediate vicinity.Failure to comply could ignite a fire orcause an explosion, resulting in death,personal injury, equipment or propertydamage.

NOTE

Typical operation areas or materials thatcan contain explosive vapors, flamma-ble materials or people in close proximi-ty of the vehicle are:

• Fuel depots• Grain elevators• Dry grass, leaves or trees• Transfer refuse stations/

dumps• Parking lots• Load/unload terminals

While the list above may appear com-prehensive, it is your responsibility totake the necessary precautions and beaware of your surroundings and ensurethat no combustibles (materials or va-pors) or bystanders are close by beforeinitiating a regeneration.

4. Verify that the following conditionsare met before proceeding. AParked Regeneration will notinitiate if any of these conditionsare not met:

• Parking brake is applied / set• Engine is at low idle

NOTE

A Parked Regeneration may take 30or more seconds to initiate as the Af-tertreatment System conducts variousself-checks to verify all the system re-quirements have been met.

Regeneration will automatically shut off ifany of the conditions (in step 4) change orbecome activated. Contact your nearestPACCAR dealer for assistance if you areunable to initiate a Parked Regenerationand the DPF warning lamp is illuminated.Related concepts

Stop an Automatic orParked Regeneration

Always stop or prevent the vehicle fromperforming an automatic or parkedregeneration ANYTIME you plan to driveyour vehicle into a building, enclosure or

sensitive area. Turn the vehicle ignition offto stop and prevent the DPF fromregenerating. Alternatively, if the vehiclehas a DPF switch to DISABLE or STOP aregeneration, depress this switch toprevent or stop a regeneration. Turn thevehicle ignition OFF if the regenerationswitch does not stop or the vehicle doesnot have a switch that can stop aregeneration.

WARNING

Never allow an Automatic Regenera-tion to automatically start while insidea building such as a service bay, shopor building of any kind. Anytime youare parking your vehicle inside a build-ing or enclosure, ALWAYS press theRegeneration STOP or DISABLESwitch prior to entering the building.Failure to comply could ignite a fire orcause an explosion, resulting in death,personal injury, equipment or propertydamage.

3 Parked regeneration with PTO engaged is dependant on vehicle configuration.

WARNING

Never initiate a regeneration in aclosed building or enclosure. Alwayspark your vehicle outside and ensureno one is in the immediate vicinity.Failure to comply could ignite a fire orcause an explosion, resulting in death,personal injury, equipment or propertydamage.

WARNING

If you operate in environments thatcontain explosive vapors or flammablematerials, look to see if your vehicle’sRegeneration Switch is equipped witha STOP function. The STOP functionmust be activated prior to entering theabove environment(s) to prevent auto-matic engine regeneration from occur-ring, which could cause an explosionor fire. Failing to activate the STOPfunction before entering a combustibleenvironment may cause an explosionor fire that could lead to death, person-al injury, equipment or property dam-age.

WARNING

Avoid operating the vehicle inside abuilding or in environments that con-tain explosive vapors or flammablematerials if your vehicle does NOThave a STOP or DISABLE regenera-tion switch. In an event where the re-generation needs to be stopped, turnthe vehicle ignition OFF and the sys-tem will temporarily stop the regenera-tion cycle. Failing to stop a regenera-tion cycle before entering a combusti-ble environment may cause an explo-sion or fire that could lead to death,personal injury, equipment or propertydamage.

NOTE

To obtain a Regeneration Switch witha STOP function, contact an author-ized PACCAR dealer to obtain theproper switch and reprogramming ofyour engine’s ECU.

What is a SelectiveCatalyst ReductionSystem?

The SCR system reduces Nitrogen Oxides(NOx) from the exhaust by mixing DieselExhaust Fluid (DEF) with a catalyst. TheDEF is contained in a separate tank on thevehicle and the level of fluid in the tank isshown in a gauge on the dash.DEF is consumable and needs to bereplenished, so monitor the DEF levelgauge as you would the fuel level gauge.

Aftertreatment SystemPower Requirements

The aftertreatment system uses batterypower for up to 10 minutes after theignition is turned off. After the ignition turnsoff, the aftertreatment system circulatesDEF to help cool down the fluid andprevent overheating. For situations wherethe battery will be disconnected (ie forservice or maintenance of the vehicle),please wait 10 minutes beforedisconnecting battery power.

CAUTION

Wait at least 10 minutes after the keyswitch is turned OFF before discon-necting battery power. The systemuses battery power to circulate DEFand prevent overheating of the DEFsystem. Failure to comply may resultin equipment or property damage.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)Tank StrapsMaintenance checks for the DEF tank.

During normal operation of the truck, theDEF tank straps may relax. Inspect thespring on top of the strap. If more than ½"(12.7mm) of the spring is exposed, the boltwill need to be re-torqued between 70 – 80in-lbs. (7.9 – 9 Nm). This distance (1) ismeasured from the washer at the end ofthe spring to the edge of the tube at the topof the straps.

Tampering withAftertreatment System

The aftertreatment system for your vehicleas installed from the factory wasspecifically designed to meet the emissionsrequirements of the US EnvironmentalProtection Agency and California AirResources Board. Any changes ofcomponent locations or modifications ofany aftertreatment system componentsmay reduce the emission effectiveness andyou may be subject to fines under theUnited States Clean Air Act.

Diesel Particulate Filter(DPF) System

The DPF system consists of aHydrocarbon (HC) Doser (may not apply toall engines), a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst(DOC), and a DPF. During normaloperation the DPF filters soot out of theexhaust and constantly monitors inlet andoutlet pressure. When the DPF is full, thesystem will activate (via automatic or aparked regeneration) the HC Doser which

sprays a small amount of diesel fuel (theHC) into the exhaust stream which thenreacts with the DOC to generate heat. Thisheat will turn the trapped soot into ash untilthe filter is completely cleaned(regenerated). Over time, both soot andash accumulate in the DPF unit. While thesoot is cleaned by the system, the resultingash must be removed by servicing thevehicle at an authorized PACCAR dealer. Avehicle with a DPF has up to two additionalindicator lamps on the dashboard. The twoadditional lamps, along with the checkengine lamp, alert the operator of thestatus of the DPF.

CAUTION

Do not submerge or allow water to en-ter the DPF assembly. Components ofthe assembly can be damaged and af-fect the performance of the aftertreat-ment system. Failure to comply mayresult in equipment or property dam-age.

NOTE

Refer to your engine manufacturer’sOperator’s Manual for diesel particu-late filter (DPF) maintenance informa-tion.

NOTE

Refer to your vehicle or engine manu-facturer’s Operator’s Manual for addi-tional information on the engine indica-tor lamps.

NOTE

Ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel isrequired for engines equipped with anaftertreatment diesel particulate filter. IfULSD is not used, the engine may notmeet emissions regulations, and theDPF or aftertreatment Diesel OxidationCatalyst (DOC) can be damaged.

CAUTION

It is unlawful to tamper with, modify, orremove any component of the SCRsystem. Failure to comply may resultin equipment or property damage.

The system uses DEF from the DEF tankand delivers it to the DEF Doser. This DEFdoser sprays a small amount of DEF intothe exhaust upstream of the SCR Catalyst.The DEF vaporizes and decomposes toform carbon dioxide and ammonia. Theammonia and SCR catalyst reacts with theNOx in the exhaust to break down the

Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) to form nitrogenand water.DEF:

DEF Storage

NOTE

The following information is for refer-ence and is to be used as a guidelineonly. There are many factors that de-termine Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)shelf life, with temperature and dura-tion being two of the major determiningcontributors. If in doubt, replace thefluid with known quality DEF. DEF hasa limited shelf life, both in the vehicle'sdiesel exhaust fluid tank and in stor-age/bulk/transportation containers.

The following conditions are ideal formaintaining DEF quality and shelf lifeduring prolonged transportation andstorage:

• Storage temperature between -5°Cand 25°C (23°F and 77°F)

• Storage in sealed containers toavoid contamination

• Avoidance of direct sunlightIn these conditions, Diesel Exhaust Fluid(DEF) has a minimum expected shelf life of

18 months. If stored at higher temperaturesfor extended periods of time, the shelf lifewill be reduced by approximately 6 monthsfor every 5°C (9°F) above the higheststorage temperature listed above. Longterm storage in a vehicle (in excess of 6months) is not recommended.

NOTE

To assist in preventing DEF from dete-riorating when stored in the vehicle'sDEF tank, locate and plug the tank'sventing to seal the tank exposure tothe atmosphere.

NOTE

Do not use tap water to rinse compo-nents that will be used to deliver dieselexhaust fluid. Tap water will contami-nate the DEF. If distilled water is notavailable, rinse with tap water andthen rinse with DEF.

DEF DisposalIf disposing Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF),always check with the local authority

regulations on proper disposal process andrequirements.Related concepts

Contamination / Incorrect FluidThe following guidelines are available ifDEF gets contaminated or the level of DEFthe tank is significantly different than whatthe gauge reads.

CAUTION

Never add water or any other fluid be-sides what is specified to the DEFtank. The aftertreatment system maybe damaged.

The system monitors the DEF fluid qualityunder normal operating temperatures andwhen the vehicle is moving 8 kph (5 mph).In some situations, the system may notcheck DEF quality because of reducedoperating temperatures. A service tool maybe required to temporarily allow the systemto check the DEF quality at operatingtemperatures regardless of vehicle speed.In the event that the incorrect fluid is addedto the Diesel Exhaust Fluid tank, such as,but not limited to:

• Water

• Diesel Fuel• Hydraulic Fluid• Coolant• Windshield Washer Fluid

Contact a local PACCAR AuthorizedRepair location to determine theappropriate repair direction. If only waterhas been added to the DEF tank, drain theDEF tank, flush with distilled water andrefill with new and/or known good DEF.Related concepts
