REMEDY

NOTE: Do not replace any parts
  1. Connect the Battery Charger
    • Refer to manual AR54.10-D-1127TS for detailed instructions specific to Model 907.
    NOTE: Maintaining an adequate voltage from the onboard electrical system battery is crucial throughout the entire work procedure. Insufficient voltage can damage the control units.
    IMPORTANT: Follow the operating instructions for the charger meticulously.
    IMPORTANT: Ensure the charger sustains a minimum voltage of 12.5V from the onboard electrical system battery at all times.
  2. Connect the Diagnostic Device
    • Refer to manual AD00.00-D-2000-06TS for detailed instructions on connecting the diagnostic device for Model 907.
    IMPORTANT: Adhere strictly to the operational steps outlined in the XENTRY Diagnosis.
    NOTE: Utilize XENTRY Diagnosis version 09/2024 with Add-on 30134 or 12/2024 with Add-on 30113 or later. Verify that you have the latest version and add-ons, as updates are regular.
  3. Reset the SCR/AdBlue® Warning Message using XENTRY Diagnosis
    • Navigate through the menu items as follows:
    • Quick test view → N118/5 - Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR GEN4) → Special processes → Reset SCR/Ad-Blue® warning message.
    NOTE: Ensure all 5 listed processes are completed successfully, indicated by Actual value: "successfully completed".
  4. Complete the Disconnect and Sleep Mode Initiation Procedure
    • Disconnect XENTRY.
    • Refer to manual AD00.00-D-2000-06TS for the correct procedure to disconnect the diagnostic device from Model 907.
    • Disconnect the Battery Charger
    • Refer to manual AR54.10-D-1127TS for instructions on safely disconnecting the battery charger from Model 907.
    • Turn off the ignition.
    • Remove the key.
    • Lock the vehicle and wait approximately 15 minutes to allow the CAN bus system to enter sleep mode.
  5. Post-Sleep Mode Vehicle Start
    • After the 15-minute waiting period, start the vehicle.
    NOTE: The "starts remaining" message will remain on the Instrument Cluster (IC), but the vehicle will not be in the 5mph derate mode.
  6. Drive for System Self-Test
    • Drive the vehicle for 5-10 miles to enable the SCR system to perform a self-test and potentially resolve fault codes.
  7. Confirm and Erase Fault Codes
    • Verify that the "starts remaining" message disappears from the IC.
    • Ensure all relevant fault codes are stored.
    • Erase the fault memory if necessary.
  8. Disconnect the Diagnostic Device
    • Refer to manual AD00.00-D-2000-06TS for the correct procedure to disconnect the diagnostic device from Model 907.
  9. Disconnect the Battery Charger
    • Refer to manual AR54.10-D-1127TS for instructions on safely disconnecting the battery charger from Model 907.
    NOTE: It is not permitted to replace parts or to invoice for material or wage costs under the warranty or goodwill in connection with an incorrectly executed reset of the SCR/AdBlue® warning message with XENTRY Diagnosis.
