DEF fluid Gauge incorrect

[Adamdj89]

Recently, I got the "Exhaust Filter at 100% please see dealer." Put the truck in. Dealer told me DEF tank was empty. Strange because my gauge told me I had 1/3 tank left. Anyone else experienced this? What may have caused this? And if so how do you sort this out?
Looking for some tips or assistance.
New at this and not much people to get help from. Sad situation lol
Thanks y'all

Yes my gauge never drops past 1/2. Dealer says nothing wrong when checked.
Apparently to fix the problem they have to replace the entire instrument panel.

Yes mine has been on 1/2 tank for about three months. I have tried to put fluid in but it runs back out the top. I have had 2 regent in the past three weeks. Now I have the same message that my "Exhaust filter is 100% fuel and need to see a dealer. So I hear you all!

Not to second guess your STEALERSHIP or you in anyway, but they tell you the DEF tank was empty or is it a possible plugged DEF injector that isn't putting any fluid into the exhaust to assist in the unplugging of the filter?
To replace or clean a injector is a hell of a lot cheaper to do then replace the gauge in your dash cluster or the damn tank.

Just a thought

I said the same..the injector is probably blocked.....common sense heavily lacks at this dealership...

It happens at most dealerships to be honest...

Just go buy a 2.5 gal bottle and fill it tell it overflows, then you know its full, many diesels don't have a gauge at all

DRC, You need to fine better sources for Info, WITECH/Alfa can reset the Gauge, both tools will allow stationary De-soot, You may need to place the Vehicle in de-soot mode 2-3 Times to clear the message. After acquiring the tool needed for stationary De-soot, you will need to drive it somewhat a few miles to allow another de-soot mode, Keep doing this until the tail pipe no longer stinks of soot.

@TC Diesel This WITECH/Alfa tool is something that can be purchased by consumers, or is this Dealer only equipment...and if so...how mechanically inclined do.you have to be to still use it...... new at this so excuse my green questions...lol thanks for the info

Alfa Android based can be purchased Store ,and OBD Dongle about $200.00 do your research on how to use, WITECH about $2.000.00 -$4.000.00

Alfa to next best tool to WITECH, its likely Your best option. I cannot same enough thanks to the developer on ALFA.
