In this video I preform a DEF Level reset on this 2011 GMC. This is a fairly common issue on these trucks and a pretty easy fix. -Enjoy!

I continued to get a message with a 100 mile countdown on message center to add def when tank is full. Doesn’t make sense
What scan tool should I buy to do this?
Hi 👋🏼 Is there a way to find out the level of exhaust fluid before getting a warning without having a computer to connect to the truck ? Thanks
Thank you for the video… Borrowed a friend's tech 2 and this worked!!!
What other scan tools can do this?
I have a 2014 gmc sierra 3500 hd duramax…. I've read that the tech 2 doesn't work on. Model year?. Would you happen to know if that's true?
No TSB in the description, Thanks
If you have a duramax, I had the entire pump sensor init replaced by GM at no charge. I was sure I would be on the hook. I have a 2012 with 74,000 mi. I was very suprised they extended the warranty to an 8 year old truck. Thanks GM.
After how many miles does the light for the “exhaust fluid low” for a 2014 GMC turn off after refilling?
i cant believe that this stuff is so smart its stupid
He ran it too low. This message is embedded in ECM and can be reset by a scan tool only
Any way you can do a video 0n the brake controller issue that the HD chevs? That would be greatly appreciated.
This is why DEF deletes are popular.
Second time watching 5/30/2020
Is there a way to clear this message without a fancy tool like yours?
What would happened if you don't reset but have the def full?
Do you have a part number on that scan tool?
Can i use a basic scanner to clear this code?
wow! what an opportunity for a dealership to screw over the unsuspecting on something like that!
I tried to listen to the video , but I'm DEF !
Not one, not two, but THREE DEF level sensors, on a US built car? Is that for redundancy or are they just trying to make trouble?
P R N D ….M ? whats the m on the gear select stand for , ive never seen it before.
Should change the muffler bearing too!!!!
What do you charge for that? Like your time is money and you should always charge your diag fee, but on the other hand I wouldn't feel good charging 1 hr for 4 min with a scan tool and I didn't even pull it in to a bay
I don't know anything about diesels. What the heck is exhaust fluid? Sounds like blinker fluid.
The Chevy truck who cried wolf.
over here in europe we call the fluid adblue
2004 gmc envoy xuv do transmission pan gasket get seal is so what type
Eric you guys obviously have DPF's too then?!
Will your Autel scanner do the same thing as your bosh tech 2 will do, and i enjoyed your video and your time, thanks
When did you get the Tech 2?
Looking for that TSB service bulletin. I'll Google it.
How often do you bleed/drain the water out of the shop compressor?
have a 2012 GMC 3500HD w/6.6. it takes 40 run cycles to clear that message on it own.
This was DEFinitely a very "fluid" repair! Watching on iATN when the diesel vehicles come up with problems in the DEF system, its amazing the costs associated with the parts needed to repair these systems. I guess like everything else, the early models are part of the engineering learning curve which the customer gets to pay for. I used to like the idea of owning a diesel……..not anymore!
Thanks GM for creating an issue..
DEF problems. Anybody else want to say another government subsidized problem? Only you the customer are paying for it by the tank full?
What's the reason it doesn't reset after a fill up? You mentioned service bulletin
Thanks and thanks for the video.
Can't believe you want to drive around the newer diesels and have to deal with all the emissions crap personally… I'll be driving my older diesel for life… no question.
I assume this is not a permanent fix right, anything to stop it from happening again?
So one question, why doesnt this piece of shit do that on its own when he refilled the def tank. Just another way these engineers today are the biggest pieces of shit on the planet. I had their spot reserved for a long time for lawyers, but they have surpassed them. Doesnt make any sense whatsoever that you would need to plug in a scan tool to reset this. This is the exact reason why I am never buying another American made piece of shit vehicle again!
Junk
What a bunch of crap to spend the money on an expensive truck and have little stuff like that to be an aggravation. Makes no sense. OK, I'm old and hard headed.
My wife rented a VW diesel to drive up north and back. The agency failed to top off the def fluid. Half way back she called me with that shutdown warning. I had never heard of this but learned quickly. I thought she was going to have to go to the AutoZone and get some to get home. Luckily she just made it back OK.
Almost thought this was a joke. Like "blinker fluid" Lol!
"Change Blinker Fluid Soon"
Never heard of exhaust fluid before,weird
how do you test and isolate a tire air pressure sensor?
What if you exchange blinker fluid with ex. Fluid ? Will it set a code ?
when i saw 'exhaust fluid" i thought you were joking, maybe it was the same as blinker fluuid! though i wish you would've explained what exhaust fluid is
