Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) System Repairs & Maintenance in Sugar Land, TX
Modern diesel vehicles — especially luxury and heavy-duty models — rely on Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) and the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system to reduce emissions and maintain performance. Over time, these systems can develop issues such as crystallization, heater failure, or sensor faults that trigger a DEF light or put your vehicle into limp mode.
At Chami Automotive in Sugar Land, TX, our skilled technicians provide DEF system diagnostics, repairs, and maintenance for a wide range of diesel vehicles — from European SUVs to American trucks — keeping your ride efficient, powerful, and compliant with U.S. emissions standards.
🔧 Understanding the DEF System
Your DEF system injects a urea-based solution into the exhaust stream to neutralize harmful NOx gases before they exit the tailpipe. When working properly, it protects the environment, prevents engine derate, and improves overall fuel efficiency.
Common components include:
DEF tank and heater
Dosing pump and injector
NOx and temperature sensors
DEF lines and filters
Aftertreatment control module (ACM)
⚠️ Common DEF System Issues
Contaminated or expired DEF fluid
Crystallized injector nozzle or clogged lines
Failed DEF pump or heater
Faulty NOx sensors or pressure sensors
Electrical or communication issues in the SCR system
These problems can cause reduced power, poor fuel economy, or a check engine/DEF warning light. At Chami Automotive, we use advanced diagnostics to identify the issue and perform EPA-compliant repairs that restore factory performance.
