    Happened to me last week on my KW T680. Had replaced the DEF Quality sensor last year. Dealer kept my truck for 32 days for a $300 part. Same thing last week but my mechanic replaced it same day. It's a pretty stupid design on the Kenworth. Your supposed to drop the Def tank.

    Was your truck running hotter or..was the def light flashing? Im getting codes for nox sensor and a heating element.

      No it wasn't running hotter, only the lights on the dash in the video came on.

    I am having that issue right now with my 2016 Kenworth T680. I'm in Liberal, KS. Did it on us54. The truck just died on me. Was able to make it to Liberal.

      They need to do something to make these sensors more reliable.

      @Big Rob 100% agree. Thank you for the video. I'm glad (figuratively) that someone else has experienced this before and knows what the issue is.

      Do you idle the truck? These truck are all about preventive maintenance. If you wait until the problems come to maintain it, it's to late.

    Did you order the cable that goes from your computer to the truck's port, online?

      I bought the def quality level sensor from Rush Peterbilt in Houston Texas. Be careful buying online, there's a lot of fakes, especially on Amazon and Ebay.

    Question hopefully you see this assp. I’ve dealing with this issue for the past 2 months I’ve had the dozer changed def pump and filters 10k in the hole. My question is. Since it’s not the pump or dozer it’s this my problem.

    Hi Rob thanks for this video.
    That’s computer is yours and what is the program I replace the same part last night in a truck stop and I can not take the limp mode out any recommendations? Tia
    Thanks

    • @RobertsLife
      @RobertsLife  2 года назад

      The program is called cummins insite. You need to have a computer that meets the requirements of the program, Google cummins insite computer requirements. Did you swap the sensor without reading the code?

      I have a Paccar. I call the dealer and they told me pretty sure it was the lever sensor because the code that I get was def poor quality.
      So I replaced and drain all the def and still is on limp mode!!
      Thanks for the help and the video!!
