I had the same message show on my 2015 EcoD. After some research I removed the DEF injector and cleaned it with hot water. Replaced the injector after a few miles the warning went away and has not been on again. I have the date and mileage on record in a file but it is not available just now.

The shutters themselves are plastic but there is a control motor on the bottom that some how knows if they are opening and closing, I would suspect that first.

The last time I had mine in for service the Eco tech at the dealership I deal with told me he had not had to replace a turbo on any Eco Diesels to that point. These are pretty reliable engines most internal issue are due to the EGR system the U.S.A. made them put on before allowing them to be...

Just a thought, your comment stated you put Rotella 5-30 in your truck. That is not the correct oil Rotella T6 is a 5-40 oil that is approved for the ecodiesel, I am nearing 130K miles and have not had any engine issues with my 2015. I also change the oil at 7500 miles and install a new fuel...

Thank you for this info.

I found information that shows there is no T.P.M.S. reset on my truck and reprograming requires a scan tool to correct the system. I will look into that.

My dealer mechanic advised me shortly after purchasing the truck to change the fuel filter at every oil change. I have had the oil and filters changed at 7500 mi and have never had an issue with the engine. Sadly the fuel here in North America is not the quality they have in Europe, our fuel...

I have been on line searching for the location of the T.P.M.S. module, most info says it is on the left side under the dash. I have looked under and on the dash but have not found the module so I can reset the system and clear the message. Do any of you know where it is actually located. I...

I purchased my ecodiesel in Dec 2015, it is a 2015 model. Early on the mechanic at the dealer that does all the eco work told me to change oil at 7500 miles and replace the fuel filter also as U.S.A. fuel has asphaltine particles in the fuel. I did run some 15W40 for about 5000 miles when I...

I do change my own filters and buy them in multiple packs. The dealer knew that when I talked with them. My dealer is a straight shooter and only services my vehicle for warranty and recall issues. Sorry to burst your bubble jdn 112011.

Very few Ecodiesels have the 3.21 differential as it is very low for an engine that pulls this well. It would also make it hard to get any decent mileage on a road trip. I have found the best set up for me has been air bags in the rear springs with 8 to 10 lb. of air and 10 ply tires with about...

I would not add any used oil to my Ecodiesel as my dealer told me early on about the people having injector issues and they recommended changing the fuel filter at every engine oil change. Our engines were developed for use in Europe and the fuel there is better quality and USA fuel can have...

I also did a muffler delete on my truck and the sound only increased slightly and do notice just a bit more power also. F.P. Thompson

I asked my dealer to service the 8 speed in my Eco. I was told that the transmission was a sealed unit and was not to be opened. I have not had any issues with the transmission and pray it stays that way. F.P. Thompson

My winter cover has only been on a couple times in 8 years. I live in western Pa. and only put it on if we are going to have a few days under 10 degrees. F. P. Thompson
