| Get a refractometer to test your DEF in your storage tank and in the tank on the bus. Someone may have put something in the DEF tank and the residue left behind can give you a DEF quality code. It cheaper than a head unit if you don't need it. |

| ok i got back on this thing and i noticed there are also codes for the intake intermediate and outlet scr temp sensors so i went to data and the showed they where all at 150 degrees with engine idling and at operating temp so i am thinking i might had a bad scr temp sensor module but would that set a def quaily light? |

I would get the engine serial number punch it into quickserve and see of there are any open campaigns or trp's . I have had that code with others and after they did the trp and or campaigns it came back fixed.
which I beleive is the scr update. also make sure ecm calibration is up to date. |

| If you have a telescopic camera , put it in there and look to see if that grid in the tube is chalked filled with white def crystals, we have had a lot total plugged up. The valves overtime will end up leaking. pull tube and start digging out chunks and wash with water. make sure you dry it before it goes back in. |

| Sounds like a Freightliner chassis look at the main connector by the right rear spring shackle on the steer axle if its a Freightliner |

2015 it should have a TRP for the SCR , does it still have the NH3 sensor mid way in the SCR - looks like a NOX sensor -
the TRP will replace the SCR and reprogram the ECM |

| Check the ECM calibration. Had one that would throw a DEF quality code every other day. Turned out it needed an update |

| Hmm, if your decomp tube is not plugged, dosing valve is not plugged and working and your def quality is good and no exhaust leaks then you got a bad scr. |

| without the actual DEF quality sensor in the DEF tank , it goes by the NOX sensors , and "guesses'" at the issue why the NOX is not dropping from the inlet sensor to outlet sensor |

That ESN has T2145 open for any VGT related codes , engine off warranty, not over 10 years old and under 185,000 miles
You just enter your ESN and click on service and top row of menu items you will find TRP |
