Thank you! I changed out my def heater no problem. It took about two hours by the time I cleaned off the tank and all ( I live on a gravel road) I don’t have a scan tool, but the check engine light cleared itself out after a number of drive cycles. I can’t believe that the dealer wanted over $800.00 to do this. Ridiculous!! Too easy!
Excellent video. P205 code reductant supply. Replaced both heater and def pump using oem parts. Erased code using basic scan tool. Pickup has no issues now. Ford 250 2011 6.7 liter.
Thanks a million for posting this video. My 2011 is in reduced power mode with a CEL. Dealer quoted me $1,300, so I ordered a Dorman and I'm going to give it a go in my driveway tomorrow.
Thank you. Have a 2019 F250 6.7. I'm getting code 205B - (Reductant Tank Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Range/Performance) I assume this is the 'A" heater your replacing? Thanks -Chris
Do all these DEF heaters come from the same place? It looks exactly like the one that failed in my Chevy Duramax. Same canister and all. My dealer says the heaters in the 2013, 14 and 15's all have issues and stop working. I also see VW's and other models having trouble with DEF heaters.
hi . how you doing . realy i need help if you can please . i have ford F-350 super duty 6.7L 2014 have message at cluster" Engine idle " and " Exhaust fluid system fault ", i checked code by IDS found code DEF low pressure , found high pressure line leak .i have complete new tank with DEF pump , line and new injector . replaced all new components with new harness on top of DEF pump add fresh DEF fluid , after instal clear code and test the system for leak using IDS was ok . after i try to drive the truck and start the truck from cold with RPM about 1500 all normal method did not work then i tried next steps reprogram PCM with IDS for latest ver. follow the TSB 14-0192 start with step no 5 to clear message . does not work EXHAUST REGENERATION PROCESS done , message not clear no code just message in cluster and engine have limited RPM in position D what do think i miss or where my mistake all history i know someone from other shop tried to clean the tank and cause the leak . truck was there for the message and limited RPM thank you
Question, when you unplugged the connector temp remained 84 degrees. Why? This truck I'm diagnosing stuck at 53. Unplugging connector did nothing to change temp reading
Did you figure out your temp problem? My 2012 is giving me a temp code issue for the def also. Changed out the def tank and still get the code to come back.
My very old Actron scanner says, P20BA: Fuel air metering auxiliary emissions controls. Is this the same as P20BA: Reductant Heater "A" Control Circuit Performance? Also, can I use an ohm meter to look for 1.0 to 2.5 ohms to confirm the unit needs replacing? Maybe test between the two fat wires, white and pink in color? Thank you very much.
I have a f350 dually the check engine light its on, the code i have its. ( P20b9 reductant heater “A” control circuit/open) But my heater work perfectly in my truck. What can you tell me about that. Thank you for your time.
Same here, got the code and everything has been being perfectly for 3 years now with the code still active. Expensive fix just to clear the check engine light!
I recently replaced my def heater, now I am getting P203B code(problem with level sender). Any suggestions on how to fix? I have replace wiring harness and pump because I broke the nipple for the def injector when dropping the tank.
Was wondering if the pump is sold separately from the reservoir or if they come together as a package. I just had a mechanic charge me for a reservoir and pump as separate parts.
Thank you for another great video. I keep receiving a P20BA engine code and just ordered my parts, with plans to fix my truck this weekend. Please offer comments on why or why not to do a DPF delete. I'm not supporting DPF deletes on my 2011 F250 but keep reading about benefits.
There’s no reason to keep it stock… the emissions control consists of an EGR system, a DPF system, and a DEF system… the EGR recycles exhaust through your engine, which is terrible for it, the DPF is basically just a bunch of mesh wiring that catch’s soot and every so often burns it out, and the DEF just won’t last more than 100,000 miles, it just mixes with the black smoke enough to make it clear is all… all in all, it doesn’t even reduce any emissions, it makes your gas mileage go down, ruins your engine, and it often costs more to replace then delete, not to mention all the money you’re gonna spend on DEF and gas due to your terrible gas mileage… the only reason to not delete is if your area gets in trouble a lot for it, in other words, it’s only a bad idea if you’re in a target area, I know people down south don’t care at all about it and never get caught
Is there an option to run the DEF pump to pump out the fluid to do this fix? I dont have a transmission jack so I'd like to run the pump with the IDS and make the tank as light as possible. Maybe provide the IDS steps to do so and I guess just unplug the DEF line to the injector in the DPF, correct? Any insight would be great!
The def pump can't be turned on directly with the IDS. There are test that will allow the pump to run but at a limited capacity and you would be there all day trying to pump out 5 gallons of DEF. I have used a siphon hose in the past to "suck" the fluid out of the fill port on the tank.
I see this owner was nostalgic and has the 08-10 rims on this truck. Love the 6.7 engines as far as reliability goes they seem pretty good, helluva a lot better then the 6.4 and the 6.0 my 6.0 that I sold last year had 493k on the OD and still never burnt oil or puked coolant but it was deleted and studded as soon as the warranty was out due to it being an 04. Cant say I understand why people are thinking they need to delete a 6.7 so quick, It is a totally different beast then the 6.4 and 6.0 were but people seem to think the 6.7 has the same issues the 6.4 did with contamination in regards to the engine
my 03' 6.0l gave me 300k with no issues other than 1 injector@250k and a ficm @180k. didn't burn oil and wasn't deleted. My 2015 6.7 on the other hand has spent more time in the garage in its short life.
People just wanna delete Bc all those emissions control waste so much diesel, and the systems for emissions control are just junk especially the DEF system… there’s really no telling when those things are gonna go out, they really could go out within 40,000 miles, they usually go out around 100,000 but anyway, that’s it, they’re just unnecessary trash that genuinely cause more harm to the planet then good
Great video buddy. The same thing happened to my truck yesterday. Let me ask you a question, will the DEF system still function even if the part hasn't been replaced? Thank you for your time sir.
I'm not 100% sure, but if the pump and the injector are ok, I think it will still spray even if the heater or sending unit is flagging codes. I would have to do some research on that to know for certain.
Hello and thanks for the video. I have a question for my F450 dually. I have a P20B9 and a P207F code, my truck pointed out to me that the "system of fluid exhaust to a problem". I was limited to 80 km/h, and then I ended up on the side of the road with a message telling me that the "engine is going to be imminent idling". Now I can't drive. I have a message that tells me "idling engine, look at the manual"! I ordered a new heater and I would like to know if once installed, the message will fade alone and I'll be able to drive normally or I see a dealer to clear codes? regards sorry for my english I'm use a translator
The chances of you getting the truck out of "idle only mode" are slim. After the problem is corrected, you really need a powerful scan tool to monitor the SCR pid data in order to perform a "drive cycle" to clear the fault. The system requires a ton of exhaust heat and can be difficult to achieve when the engine will only idle. We perform multiple manual regens to get the exhaust temps up, but there again that requires a scan tool.
I'm go to Ford driving slow, once I have change the defective fluid heater giving me 5.1 ohms. They did a multitude of test with a program IDS 105 amount the exhaust to a high temperature, and then let it cool and much more. They have erased the memory of the PCM all codes. they put 1 h 30 and they have unlocked engine and all is well. It cost me$ 147. I really good service at home, and they take me without an appointment.
Hi After 250 km the p207F code is returned and the truck stuck on idle. What for? There is another the P20a1 code. I begin to be in a bad mood. The technician at ford to a small road test of 2 km. is that he hurt is his job? your opinion.
P20A1 is a problem with the def purge valve and will cause the system to shut down completely, The valve is part of the pump assembly and has to be replaced as a unit. Call your dealer and see if any of this is covered under the vehicle's warranty and if they would be interested in looking at your truck at a reduced rate due to the fact you just had it in the shop. Just throwing out some ideas.
thank for your responses my truck is a 2014 with 338600 km. I don't think the warranty. but hey it's a 2014. I had messages this afternoon telling me "imminent engine idle" but the message was fading and came back. I kept rolling without cutting my engine and arriving home to find the trailer I cut the engine. Then by starting the engine a message saying "speed Max 80 km/h and I went to put fuel in my tank by cutting the engine." And the idle switch on. what I don't understand is why when the engine idle message is displayed it, he left and returned to 200 km! the reaction took place only when the engine is shut down. and how is location valve purge?
Update: I replaced it this last weekend, went to orileys and cleared cel. It hasn't come back. Old heater was at 4.4ohms and new was 2.2ohms!! Thanks again for video
This was filmed with a smart phone and there was no way I could get that kind of footage. That connector can be difficult to disconnect if it is full of dirt. Use a prybar under the bracket to push the christmas tree retainer up and out of the bracket. Then you can have better access to the connector to get it apart.

Did you doorman work with your truck I ask because mine still has code on
Great video, thanks!

Thanks you video is very helpful. My 2012 thew the code will give things to check. have a great day Tim
Sure would like to know why the level sensors fail and why a more robust component cannot be made.
Bump. Any word on why my heater still works with an active code ?
Tank is super easy to remove IF you can get that def injector line off the pump without breaking it.
I'm getting code p20ba but I replaced my def heater with one from auto parts but I still have code present
hi . how you doing . realy i need help if you can please . i have ford F-350 super duty 6.7L 2014 have message at cluster" Engine idle " and " Exhaust fluid system fault ", i checked code by IDS found code DEF low pressure , found high pressure line leak .i have complete new tank with DEF pump , line and new injector . replaced all new components with new harness on top of DEF pump add fresh DEF fluid , after instal clear code and test the system for leak using IDS was ok . after i try to drive the truck and start the truck from cold with RPM about 1500 all normal method did not work then i tried next steps
reprogram PCM with IDS for latest ver.
follow the TSB 14-0192 start with step no 5 to clear message . does not work
EXHAUST REGENERATION PROCESS done , message not clear
no code just message in cluster and engine have limited RPM in position D
what do think i miss or where my mistake
all history i know someone from other shop tried to clean the tank and cause the leak . truck was there for the message and limited RPM
thank you

We're you able to find the issue? 2017 and I just got the same code. Thanks
Hi, will this problem meet the truck have very little boost? Thanks
Was wondering if the pump is sold separately from the reservoir or if they come together as a package. I just had a mechanic charge me for a reservoir and pump as separate parts.
They are sold separately.

+flmmaz ok thanks for the quick response. That is unfortunate. Good to know though.
flmmaz thanks for posting this. Makes sense after you explained it. How much does your shop charge to do this replace this unit?

Hi
After 250 km the p207F code is returned and the truck stuck on idle. What for? There is another the P20a1 code.
I begin to be in a bad mood.
The technician at ford to a small road test of 2 km.
is that he hurt is his job?
your opinion.
P20A1 is a problem with the def purge valve and will cause the system to shut down completely, The valve is part of the pump assembly and has to be replaced as a unit.

I don't think the warranty.
but hey it's a 2014.

the reaction took place only when the engine is shut down.
and how is location valve purge?
thanks for the video will be a great help. what pins do you check resistance on or is there only 2 in that connector?
That connector holds 8 pins, The two for the heater are the biggest wires in the connector (to carry the needed amperage) pin location 1 and 2.
Update: I replaced it this last weekend, went to orileys and cleared cel. It hasn't come back. Old heater was at 4.4ohms and new was 2.2ohms!! Thanks again for video
great video is helping a lot
please can u tell me if the heater it self have a part #
thanks
BC3Z-5J225-L for a pick up and BC3Z-5J225-M for a cab and chassis.
I'm going to be replacing this unit soon tomorrow. I got def pressure too low p20e8. Hopefully this helps ...will take a look inside the tank as well.
Thank you! Very helpful!
My 2012 cab chassis is throwing p20bd and p20be. Heater?
It could be the line heater or the pump heater. The heater resistances need to be checked to rule them out.
flmmaz ok got it. I will check them out
exact same part as GM, except the connector and mabey wire color's but that doesn't matter haha, all supplied by bosch :)
Can we get a link to where you got the new heater please.
I worked at a Ford dealer when I did this repair.
Don’t you have to reprogram the DEF system?
Great video and tips though out the vid now Im hoping to get the same results
Thanks, this an old vid that I did with my phone. The job goes pretty easy so you should be fine.
And how long will a 5 gallon tank of DEF last
Mileage wise
Erick Wardwell Depends on driving habits, but easy driving with no load, about 5000 miles on a tank full.
You clearly don’t give instructions on how to remove it. Having issues removing the grey harness connector at the ABS bracket.
This was filmed with a smart phone and there was no way I could get that kind of footage. That connector can be difficult to disconnect if it is full of dirt. Use a prybar under the bracket to push the christmas tree retainer up and out of the bracket. Then you can have better access to the connector to get it apart.
ruclips.net/video/SgNy_OutXCY/видео.html
how big is the tanks on the 6.7
5 gallons on a pick up and 6 gallons on a cab and chassis.
What scan program is that?
Ford IDS
ford
Another pointless vid because no one has these tools.
You dont show how to get the heater out of the tank. useless!
