What Is After Treatment Diagnostics?

Modern diesel trucks clean their exhaust after it leaves the engine. The diesel particulate filter (DPF) traps soot, and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) reduces nitrogen oxide emissions. Sensors watch every step, and when something goes wrong the truck warns you, or cuts its own power.

After treatment diagnostics finds what is wrong in that system and fixes it, to improve engine efficiency and reduce pollution.

Why It Matters in Cherry Valley, CA

An after treatment fault rarely stays a warning light. A clogged filter or a failing sensor can push a truck into derate, cost fuel and take it off the road. In California, it also matters for emissions testing.

What We Check

  • DPF condition, soot load and regeneration
  • DEF fluid, doser and pump
  • NOx, temperature and pressure sensors
  • Exhaust leaks and wiring
  • Fault codes and engine-related causes

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions about After Treatment Diagnostics (DEF & DPF)

Keeping your truck in good shape protects your schedule and your bottom line. Explore our truck and fleet services in Cherry Valley, CA and let our team help you find the right one for your vehicle.

What is a DPF?

A diesel particulate filter traps soot from the exhaust. The system burns that soot off in a process called regeneration; when it can't, the filter clogs and the truck loses power.

What does the DEF system do?

Diesel exhaust fluid is sprayed into the exhaust to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions. Problems with the fluid, the doser or the sensors can trigger faults and derates.

Why does my truck keep going into derate?

Derates are often triggered by after treatment faults: a clogged DPF, a failing sensor or a DEF problem. A diagnosis finds which one.

Is after treatment related to CARB testing?

Yes. A healthy after treatment system matters for emissions, and we also perform CARB tests, HD I/M and PSIP.

Do you work on all makes?

Yes, we work on all major makes and models.
