No def system on the reefer units. Precooling means cooling the reefer trailer to the desired temp while it’s empty before being loaded. And to run the pretrip on the reefer unit, right after you turn it on, when you first see the number display pop up…hit the menu button, pretrip, equal sign to select, and start Pretrip. It will run thru all the functions and circuits etc and show you the progress as a percentage until its 100% complete. Then the display will say either “pretrip pass” or “pretrip completed and failed” . If it fails it will display a code that your breakdown dept or thermo king technicians will need to help determine what is faulty with the unit. Also you need to know how to check oil and coolant on the unit and check for loose belts, look over the wires etc. there are inline fuses on some wires. One door is also for battery access. You can jump start a dead reefer battery from your tractor if you have jumper cables. Reefers must be washed out before loading any food product. Make sure the chute is intact on ceiling with no large tears or holes etc.

Jumping goes the other way, too. Dead tractor? Reefer to the rescue
