My wife tells me I need to stop reading these forums. Yesterday I was reading about DEF head failures and thinking how fortunate I was not to have had any problems. This morning I started up the coach to move from one side to another and the check engine light came one. Looked up the codes and sure enough they are DEF related.
I called Spartan and they confirmed that the codes indeed indicate a DEF head failure. Fortunately I have an appointment at North Trail for a week from today for the awning bracket modification. Spartan indicated that they could get the replacement part there in time. I spoke with North Trail and they will take care of the replacement next week. I understand these codes will cause a derate. I’m hoping I have no issues driving the 50 miles.
