In this video I preform a DEF Level reset on this 2011 GMC. This is a fairly common issue on these trucks and a pretty easy fix. -Enjoy! Search for GM PIP4864P …April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22733James Baechle
have a 2012 GMC 3500HD w/6.6. it takes 40 run cycles to clear that message on it own.

This was DEFinitely a very "fluid" repair! Watching on iATN when the diesel vehicles come up with problems in the DEF system, its amazing the costs associated with the parts needed to repair these systems. I guess like everything else, the early models are part of the engineering learning curve which the customer gets to pay for. I used to like the idea of owning a diesel……..not anymore!

Thanks GM for creating an issue..

DEF problems. Anybody else want to say another government subsidized problem? Only you the customer are paying for it by the tank full?
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22737Duncan Mac
What's the reason it doesn't reset after a fill up? You mentioned service bulletin
Thanks and thanks for the video.April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22738Ray Dornbush
Can't believe you want to drive around the newer diesels and have to deal with all the emissions crap personally… I'll be driving my older diesel for life… no question.
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22739G. P.
I assume this is not a permanent fix right, anything to stop it from happening again?

So one question, why doesnt this piece of shit do that on its own when he refilled the def tank. Just another way these engineers today are the biggest pieces of shit on the planet. I had their spot reserved for a long time for lawyers, but they have surpassed them. Doesnt make any sense whatsoever that you would need to plug in a scan tool to reset this. This is the exact reason why I am never buying another American made piece of shit vehicle again!

Junk

What a bunch of crap to spend the money on an expensive truck and have little stuff like that to be an aggravation. Makes no sense. OK, I'm old and hard headed.

My wife rented a VW diesel to drive up north and back. The agency failed to top off the def fluid. Half way back she called me with that shutdown warning. I had never heard of this but learned quickly. I thought she was going to have to go to the AutoZone and get some to get home. Luckily she just made it back OK.

Should of left the DEF systems in tractor trailer rigs…
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22745Aaron
DEF is a scam more or less
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22746SuperGmann10
Almost thought this was a joke. Like "blinker fluid" Lol!
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22747Dasdfjkl
You didn't have to add fluid to the mufkin? (Taryl Fixes All calls mufflers that)
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22748Prince Bumpkin
Exhaust fluid? Is that what lubricates the muffler bearing?
(I'm about sixth in the comments noticing this relationship.)April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22749VF1100rider
I had a ford f250 with an international 6.9 diesel in it and didn't have any exhaust fluid crap to fool with guess those were the better days. Diesels only emit soot nothing poisonous like a gas engine.

"Change Blinker Fluid Soon"
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22751Its a Rome Thing Everyday
Never heard of exhaust fluid before,weird
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22752joe polen
how do you test and isolate a tire air pressure sensor?
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22753Mark Horton
What if you exchange blinker fluid with ex. Fluid ? Will it set a code ?
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22754Jason Halverson
when i saw 'exhaust fluid" i thought you were joking, maybe it was the same as blinker fluuid! though i wish you would've explained what exhaust fluid is
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22755halleffect1
Blinker Fluid reset in ridiculous expensive truck with ridiculous expensive scan tool, continue rusting away.
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22756Big DogCountry
I want to see you fix "Blinker Fluid Low".
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22757a man of many parts
US car maker makes a shitty diesel engine that chucks out more shit than a city of 20,000 people and the owner has to buy a fluid to inject into the exhaust to make it smell a little sweeter.
How about making engines that don't pollute the environment, dummies? Of course that might cut into your board members' multi million dollar end of year bonuses, so forget about it and just churn out the same shit and make the consumer pay for it.

Surprised to see so many Americans unfamiliar with this, we call it AdBlue fluid in the UK, you can pump it at the "gas station" lol.
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22759beepbeepcoyote
AdBlue
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #2276010 FEET HIGHER MAGA
Gut It!!!
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22761Stephen Lutz
Will the truck actually go into limp home mode, or is this a spurious message the driver can ignore?
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22762Roland Dunstan
Bit late for April Fool's isn't it?
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22763ToughAncientSpark
Don't forget to recalibrate the kinewton valve.
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22764Jim Nesta
Don't forget to check out the exhaust fluid filter while you're at it topping the fluid level off. A clogged filter might cause the exhaust fluid to overheat and that's nothing you want to mess around with.

His blinker fluid, however, was fine.
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22766joe barksdale
got the same problem on a 2018 any thoughts? same process?

For the DEF haters, I remember being at the Los Angeles airport back in the early 1970's it was afternoon and you could not see the sun due to the pollution. We've added 100 million more to the country since then. We've all seen the pollution in China. DEF is one of the ways to deal with an air quality problem. More people on the planet means more rules if we expect a decent quality of life.
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22768ivan Black
That was weird. Lol

Its always a good idea to check and top up your exhaust fluid, you could spin a muffler bearing if you let it get too low. Still cant get over exhaust fluid being a real thing, whats next blinker fluid?
April 6, 2019 at 3:16 pm #22770AL
wtf is exhaust fluid
