This fault indicates a high reading from the DEF tank level sensor circuit, typically pointing to an open circuit or a short to the 5V reference. Common causes include an unplugged sensor, a broken signal wire, or harness damage.
What This Code Actually Means
The "failed high" status usually suggests that the signal wire is either open or shorted to the 5V reference voltage. When the ECM detects

This code indicates a low voltage signal from the DEF tank level sensor circuit. It suggests an electrical fault rather than a mechanical issue with the tank itself.
What This Code Actually Means
A 'failed low' condition signifies that the voltage signal from the DEF tank level sensor is below the expected range, typically indicating a short to ground, a broken ground reference, or an internal f
