    No I found it while checking continuity and reference voltage to the sensors. Kept getting sensor faults but sensors were testing good. Checked harness and found high resistance and some light corrosion
    Took out the emission control ecm.

    Red flashing light in DEF gauge means there is a fault with the SCR system, solid red would be low DEF level. Need to get hooked up and get the P codes. EPA 10 rely heavily on EGR and regens more, so air management cleanings and EGR cooler cleaning is regular PM.
     
    GYPSY65 and Goodysnap Thank this.

    If you’re asking me about the egr cooler flush
    I get it done every year
    Just did it again a few weeks ago. I don’t have the actual receipt but the estimate was around $900 but I think they flushed the entire system. Not sure if that’s a regular thing or not
    Pretty sure Ogden was $4-500 around 2018
    So either I had more done. Prices when up or?
