Review the 'Possible Causes' mentioned above and visually examine the corresponding wiring harness and connectors. Ensure to check for any damaged components and inspect the connector pins for signs of being broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded.
To diagnose the P249F code, it typically requires 1.0 hour of labor. The specific diagnosis time and labor rates at auto repair shops can differ based on factors such as the location, make and model of the vehicle, and even the engine type. It is common for most auto repair shops to charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
Some manufacturers are now using a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system commonly called a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system to reduce harmful Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx). The diesel exhaust fluid is a Urea based solution of approximately 32% Urea and 64% distilled water. The solution is injected into the exhaust gas stream upstream of the SCR catalyst. Once in the exhaust system it decomposes and becomes Ammonia (NH3) and Carbon dioxide (CO2). Within the catalyst, the NH3 and CO2 react with the Nox to create Oxygen (O2) and harmless Nitrogen (N2).
The system requires a storage tank for the diesel exhaust fluid, a pump with integrated level sensor, pressure sensor and fluid quality sensor, an injector fitted to the exhaust system, fluid heater and the catalyst. Sensors can also be fitted close to the SCR catalyst to monitor temperature during regeneration.
The system is closely monitored for correct operation as failure of the system will have a large impact on vehicle exhaust gas emissions of oxides of Nitrogen.
