Diesel Exhaust Fluid or DEF sensor emulator is set to 75 - 95% fluid level(depends on size of the DEF tank), temperature set at ambient air temperature, and fluid quality at 32.5%. Electrical connection is a DT 4 pin deutsch plug commonly used on Shaw Development DEF sensor heads.

How to use DEF Sensor Emulator:


Locate the DEF head

  • The first step is to locate the DEF head in your Power Pack. Most Power Packs have the DEF head situated at the front passenger side. Be sure to locate the DEF head since you will need to work on it. The DEF head is located at the top of the DEF tank.

Remove the cable

  • You will need to remove the cable that runs from the top of the DEF head. Be sure to remove the side that has the DT4 adaptor.

Plug in the simulator

  • You will need to plug in the simulator and you can zip tie it near the area. This will emulate the DEF head and should be back up and running after a couple of minutes.
  • Note that plugging in the emulator is just a temporary solution. You will need to get to a professional as soon as you can. The emulator can help you if you are stranded. Once you get to an expert, you will need to replace the DEF head or get it repaired.

History of DEF sensors

DEF Sensor Issues

The DEF head are inserted into the top of the DEF tank. The head consists of the DEF pickup tube, the engine coolant heater tube and the DEF sensor. The sensor was originally designed to sense the level of DEF in the tank but in 2016 the EPA mandated that new sensor designs were required that also detected the concentration level of DEF to ensure that owners weren’t diluting their DEF with water and rendering the emissions system ineffective. These sensors showed up mainly in the 2017. Unfortunately, while the original 2016 and prior year sensors were trouble-free, these new sensors began failing at a rapid rate. These sensors were made by Shaw and had issues where the electronic circuit board had failed, which was determined to be heat related due to the close proximity of the engine’s exhaust system as well as the fact that hot engine coolant was constantly circulating through the DEF head.

When the sensor failed the engine would shut down, or goes into limp mode, typically displaying one of the following fault codes showing abnormal update rates:

            SPN 3364 FMI 9 (Cummins Fault Code 3868) –DEF quality

            SPN 1761 FMI 9 (Cummins Fault Code 4677) – DEF tank level

            SPN 3031 FMI 9 (Cummins Fault Code 4572) – DEF tank temperature

These codes were designed to detect weak DEF, low DEF level or DEF that had been overheated in the tank. If the sensor chip fails any one of these fault codes may appear, even though there is nothing wrong with the DEF itself. But the faulty sensor will derate and eventually shut down your engine.

Important information

Your dashboard DEF Gauge will no longer be accurate!!  You MUST manually monitor and continue to keep your DEF tank filled with fresh DEF fluid until you get a permanent repair.  It is highly recommended that you keep accurate records and check your DEF level at regular intervals.

Excellent all-poly athletic socks for general lifting and HIIT.
Size: Medium, Color: Black/White/Grey
***These are NOT “low” -cut socks as the description in the title states. These are actually “quarter”-cut socks as clearly visible in the picture of the sock itself. “Low” -cut socks are shorter than this height but still visible with a shoe. Also, on the actual UA package of these socks, it clearly states these are QUARTER cut socks. My review: Gave these UA Performance Tech socks (UAPT) 5 stars since they’re very good but in all reality not the best socks I’ve ever had for lifting and HIIT workouts. That title goes to Nike Dri-Fit MAX socks (DFM)….but these socks are really good. Like Nike’s DFM’s, these UAPT socks come in sizes, halleluah (M, L, and XL). The idea that most athletic sock are sized 6-12 and should therefore fit everyone perfectly is absolutely ridiculous. Your shoes come in whole and half sizes…so socks should at the very least be sized like these UAPT’s and Nike DFM’s…in S/M/L or in this case, M/L/XL. I wear a men’s size 8 shoe and the M (medium) size in these socks was a perfect fit; true to size. Also, UAPT socks are ALL polyester with Spandex which is ideal and 100% that which you want for athletic socks: wicking with stretch. Cotton socks are the absolute worst thing you could wear to the gym since they’re sponges for sweat and therefore get wet and heavy, cause blisters, tend to stink, stick to skin, etc… IF you prefer cotton socks for athletics, then you don’t understand how performance fabrics work in athletics and training. You do NOT want cotton in your athletic apparel. You want your fabrics that wick sweat away; NOT soak up sweat and hold onto it. Also, the flexibility and stretch of the foot and ankle parts of the sock were both just right. Snug but not too tight. Wicking is perfect, too. Already worn during two 3 1/2 hour workouts and my feet stayed as dry as a desert. When looking for UA athletic socks on Amazon, I surprisingly continued to find UA “athletic” socks made with mostly cotton which completely surprised me because a serious athletic company should produce an abundance of performance-level socks… i.e. all-poly socks. Thank goodness I finally came across these UA all-poly Performance Techs. The only drawback to these UAPT’s…and it’s a minor drawback…is that unlike Nike DFM’s, these do not come in L & R (left and rights) to specifically match the individual foot shape. Nike DFM socks come in L and R which sets them apart from all other athletic socks…and yet I don’t like supporting a massive monopolistic athletic apparel company like Nike, but they’re the only one that makes THE best athletic sock. Nonetheless, these UAPT’s are perfect workout/HIIT/lifting socks for the bundle value price of six pair and three colors. If you’re looking to match your new UA or Rock shoes with the appropriate UA athletic sock, then here you go. I chose the black/white/gray mix bundle since I have new pairs of a black and a white version of the same UA-Rock shoe. These UAPT socks are medium thickness so they didn’t take up an exorbitant amount of room in my shoes but they’re thick enough to prevent blisters and provide cushion. Overall they’re very comfortable, hold a good stretch, hold their shape, and seem to be durable but only time will tell. And since we’re on the black and white sock subject, I couldn’t resist: I read a shoe review about someone angered that his new UA/Rock black shoes (obviously bought for casual wear in lieu of gym use) staining his white cotton socks. First of all, never ever wear white socks (much less cotton white socks) with black athletic shoes! The possibility of staining is always there and the appearance just doesn’t work. However, you can get away with black socks with white shoes in some cases…but never white socks with black shoes. Why? Who knows? It’s just one of those unwritten rules of the gym. And no, I didn’t make the rules…so don’t blame the messenger. LOL!
