Feature request: DEF injector cleaning 6.7 Superduty

Post by EB101 »

IDS had a service procedure to clear clogged DEF injectors now and I'd love to see that added to Forscan.
My 2015 indicated DEF system fault on the dash and was going to be speed limited at 50 mph after x miles.
After checking for DTCs it indicated that the injector's duty cycle was to low or not enough flow.
Took it to somebody with IDS and they ran the procedure on it and it's all good again but I'd hate to be out on a long trip and have to visit a dealer for a simple software task.
Here's a link to a pdf describing the use of the tool in IDS.

Mods, please feel free to move this if it's not in the right place.
Thanks

I would also like to have this feature! Curious if it has been included already?

With IDS, it follows: Powertrain > Service functions > SCR System > Dosing Measuring Test
That test offers the volume at 120 seconds. If it passes, no repairs are required.
The test in question may clean the reductant injector but it should be removed to clean the crystals first, if worst case.
It is possible to clean the dowser with an ultra-sonic cleaner and fresh urea, then perform the "Ford" cleaning test again.
Any assembly is ONLY with clean urea.
Test the date code of the urea. The hotter the environment with storage, the shorter it lasts.
Only use urea for road use and NOT farm use. Those two solutions are not the same and should be API approved.
Test urea with a calibrated Refractometer and save the grief.
Do not ask for help in PM. Use the forum to ask and answer questions! There's a special place for NOT following up!

I am currently working on a P207F issue with my 2013 F350/6.7. I looked for the SCR Dosing Measurement test yesterday and could not find it in my version of FORScan. :|

In addition to cleaning the injector, could this potentially prime the DEF injector pump if not done properly?
