Express 2500 V8-6.6L DSL Turbo (2010)
The message Exhaust Fluid Low - Speed Limited Soon, is displayed on the DIC. This message is also displayed at the beginning of each ignition cycle.
This message remains on the DIC until acknowledged by the driver.
Warning Level 6
Warning Level 6 is triggered when the estimated range remaining is less than approximately 0 km (0 mi) based on current DEF consumption rates. The
driver will hear four chimes on entering Warning Level 6. The DIC displays the following messages:
-
Exhaust Fluid Empty Refill Now
-
89 km/h (55 mph) Max Speed upon Restart
The messages are also displayed at the beginning of each ignition cycle. The Exhaust Fluid Empty Refill Now message remains on the DIC until
acknowledged by the driver. The 89 km/h (55 mph) Max Speed Upon Restart message is not acknowledgeable.
At the next ignition ON event, the system will advance from Warning Level 6 to Warning Level 7. If fuel is added to the vehicle without an ignition
cycle the system will advance to Warning Level 8.
In the event of a refill, the scan tool may show that fluid has been added, but the vehicle may not release from the warning level unless it is driven for
greater than 10 km/h (6 mph) for approximately five minutes.
If the vehicle speed has been limited and DEF has been added, it may take up to 30 seconds after engine start with the vehicle stopped for the
EXHAUST FLUID EMPTY message to clear. If the vehicle is driven prior to the DIC message clearing, the vehicle speed will still be limited. If the
DIC message clears while driving, the vehicle must be completely stopped to remove the speed limitation.
If DEF is added under freezing conditions, additional time may be required to remove speed limitations.
Warning Level 7
Warning Level 7 is active at the next ignition ON event. The driver will hear four chimes on entering Warning Level 7. The four chimes are repeated
three more times during this ignition cycle. The DIC displays the following messages:
-
Exhaust Fluid Empty Refill Now
-
Speed Limited to 89 km/h (55 mph)
The messages are alternately displayed every five seconds on the DIC. Both messages remain on the DIC until acknowledged by the driver; however, the
Speed Limited to 89 km/h (55 mph), remains locked on the DIC.
The DEF Indicator in the instrument panel flashes continuously. Warning Level 7 remains active until a refueling event is detected.
Vehicle speed is now limited to 89 km/h (55 mph) maximum.
In the event of a refill, the scan tool may show that fluid has been added, but the vehicle may not release from the warning level unless it is driven for
greater than 10 km/h (6 mph) for approximately five minutes.
If the vehicle speed has been limited and DEF has been added, it may take up to 30 seconds after engine start with the vehicle stopped for the
EXHAUST FLUID EMPTY message to clear. If the vehicle is driven prior to the DIC message clearing, the vehicle speed will still be limited. If the
DIC message clears while driving, the vehicle must be completely stopped to remove the speed limitation.
If DEF is added under freezing conditions, additional time may be required to remove speed limitations.
Warning Level 8
Warning Level 8 is triggered when the ECM detects that additional fuel was added without a refill of the DEF reservoir. The driver will hear four chimes
on entering Warning Level 8. The four chimes will repeat three more times during this ignition cycle. The DIC displays the following messages:
-
Exhaust Fluid Empty Refill Now
-
Speed Limited to 89 km/h (55 mph)
-
6 km/h (4 mph) Max Speed at Next Fuel Fill
The messages are alternately displayed every five seconds on the DIC. The three messages remain on the DIC until acknowledged by the driver. Once
acknowledged, the Speed Limited to 89 km/h (55 mph), and 6 km/h (4 mph) Max Speed at Next Fuel Fill, remain locked on the DIC.
The DEF Indicator in the instrument panel flashes continuously. The vehicle remains in Warning Level 8 until the DEF reservoir is refilled or a second
refueling event is detected.
Vehicle speed is limited to 89 km/h (55 mph) maximum.
