Between last summer (Utah) and heading to our winter spot this fall the coach threw the dreaded check-engine light 3 times. The first time a FL service center in southern Utah cleared it and said it was just a "ghost" signal and not to worry about it. The second time was just before my annual service up north and they said the code indicated a DEF tank sensor showed the temperature in the tank over 170 degrees. They claimed they didn't have a clue and suspect it could be some type of wiring issue. They cleared it.
When it came back on enroute to Florida I made an appointment at North Trail. Took it in today and the code reader/computer said it was the same DEF tank overheating issue. They replaced the rod type sensor that goes down inside the DEF tank which is what they said was causing the issue. No more check engine light.
I'm a little disappointed that my FL service center where I do my annual service wasn't smart enough to take care of this but I am certainly happy that North Trail recognized what the issue was and fixed it quickly. I'm also happy I am still within the FL/Cummins factory warranty because the charge for this was over $1,700.
