DEF sensor out

[garysfb]

Well I finally got bit! Leaving the San Antonio KOA this morning and started up to air up and raise the jacks, no problem. Half hour later I turned the key to on and waited for the icons to disappear, the engine icon is always last. This time it stayed on and the icon above it with the check mark came on after about 30 seconds. Hoping against hope I turned the key to off and back on, and it came back again. Looked for the codes and the evil 3364, 1761 and 3031 appeared. Just for the sake of trying I tried a 12 volt reset knowing it wouldn't change anything, it didn't.

So I called Spartan where Shane told me to get in touch with the local Cummins repair shop and he gave me the number. They were not quite as accommodating and wanted to see the coach before ordering a part and wouldn't be able to squeeze me in until the next day. So I would lose a day waiting for them to take 5 minutes to see the same thing I saw.

Called Shane back and he got someone to call the shop and get the info to overnight the part. The shop called me a little while later and said to be there at 10:30 tomorrow and they would squeeze me in to replace the sensor. I guess Spartan carries a lot of weight with their authorized service shops.

Thanks to iRV2 I knew immediately what the error codes meant. However I can't find anywhere a post that talks about finding a list of those codes except a couple old ones for much older engines. I googled and looked at Cummins website, but no luck. Does anyone know where I can locate them?

If you mean a complete list of Spartan Codes, then those codes are fully available on the iPhone Spartan app, at least they are available on the version that I have.

Please clarify so I am sure of your meaning.

Don't know what mine is. I assume I'll get a 6.

After talking with Spartan they only are putting 6 in for DEF system. Our Spartan K-3 605 with a Sept. 2017 build date has a 5 which is still OK with 25K miles. You can contact Spartan with vin number to find out what DEF system was installed at Spartan.

Gary I finally found the codes on my Spartan app, thanks!

Now I'm sitting outside the shop waiting for paperwork and making sure the error codes don't reappear after they cleared them. I was sent a gen 6, don't know what the old one was, probably a gen 5 as mine was built in mid 2017.

Guess I was lucky, we were 5 miles away from this Freightliner service center and sitting in a campground when the errors showed up. Only lost one day of travel. Problem is I've got no horror story to tell around the campfire ;-)

Any chassis built before mid 2019 is going to be Gen 5. Middle of 2019 could be either 5or6. I got a gen6 on our 2020 and Chuck got a gen5 on his 2021 built a few months apart. Guess it depended on which def tank the guy picked up during the build.

Some guys have all the luck.

And then there's Chuck...

Off subject a little but in my 2018 Anthem I found that the outside Samsung TV is a 2015 Smart TV. The Hulu app is not able to show 'live' TV. According to Hulu only Samsungs made after 2015 are able to. I guess they don't rotate their stock of TVs. Similar to Chuck's DEF tank.

I thought Hulu Live would not work anyway as you travel about?

Sorry it got you too Gary. I hope you can file your situation with the NHTSA. They are investigating my filing, the more that file with the same experience, hopefully pressure will be put on the manufacture(s) to correct this problem. https://www.irv2.com/forums/f258/def...sa-518276.html

Glad you were not left stranded.

I can't draw a slot in the phone or computer lottery for the Covid Vaccine, but if it's a bad part, I am first in line.
