AdBlue Diagnostics: Diagnose the Fault Before Replacing Parts

AdBlue Warning Light or SCR Fault? Get the Problem Properly Diagnosed

Modern diesel vehicles use sophisticated AdBlue and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) systems to reduce harmful NOx emissions. When something goes wrong, the vehicle can display an AdBlue warning, engine management light, emissions warning or even a countdown to a potential no-start condition.

The problem is that an AdBlue fault code doesn’t always mean that the component mentioned in the code is actually the part that needs replacing.

That’s why at Advanced Remaps & DPF Cleaning in Hartlepool, our approach is simple:

We diagnose the fault — we don’t just replace parts and hope.

Don’t Waste Money Replacing Parts That Aren’t Faulty

AdBlue systems contain several different components that work together, including:

• AdBlue pumps

• AdBlue injectors

• NOx sensors

• Temperature sensors

• Pressure sensors

• SCR systems

• Wiring and electrical connections

• AdBlue tanks

• Control modules

A fault with one part of the system can sometimes cause fault codes relating to another component.

Simply reading a fault code and replacing the part named in the code can therefore result in unnecessary repairs and expensive parts bills.

Our diagnostic process is designed to investigate the system before recommending any replacement parts.

What Does Our AdBlue Diagnostic Check Involve?

We use professional diagnostic equipment to investigate the vehicle’s AdBlue/SCR system and look at the information being reported by the vehicle.

Depending on the vehicle and fault, we can check:

✔ Fault codes

We identify the stored and current faults within the relevant systems.

✔ Live data

We examine sensor readings and system information rather than relying solely on the fault code description.

✔ AdBlue pressure

Where applicable, we can assess whether the system is achieving the required pressure.

✔ NOx sensors

We can investigate NOx sensor readings and related faults.

✔ AdBlue injector operation

The injector and its operation can be investigated where appropriate.

✔ SCR system operation

We look at the system as a whole to establish what could be causing the fault.

✔ Related faults

We also consider whether other vehicle faults could be contributing to the AdBlue/SCR problem.

Why Proper Diagnosis Matters

An AdBlue warning can be caused by something relatively straightforward, but it can also involve more than one component or system.

For example, a vehicle may display an SCR-related fault, but that doesn’t automatically mean the SCR component itself needs replacing.

This is why proper diagnosis is important before spending money on parts.

Our aim is to establish what the vehicle is actually reporting, test the relevant systems and provide you with clear information about what needs to be done next.

We don’t believe in fitting random parts until the warning disappears.

Instead, we investigate the fault first.
