    What does this fault code mean?

    The ADM has registered that the additive tank is running low. Without enough additive the particulate filter cannot regenerate as it should. The code is usually a reminder that the tank is empty or nearly empty and needs topping up.

    Possible causes

    • Additive used up in the tank
    • Codes stored for the additive level sensor
    • Damaged additive dosing module (ADM)

    What you can do

    1. 1Top up the additive tank and check that the code clears
    2. 2Check that the codes for the additive level sensor, ADM-0002 or ADM-0003, are not stored, and deal with those first
    3. 3Clear the code and road test to see whether it returns
    4. 4Restart the module with diagnostic equipment after any repair

    Symptoms you may notice3

    • Message in the text window of the display
    • Yellow warning symbol and text message in the display
    • Maintenance or service indication in the display
