Check the engine compartment as follows:

  • Make sure the transmission is filled to the proper level with the fluid recommended by the gear manufacturer. Do not overfill.
  • The Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) must be checked and filled regularly with DEF meeting Detroit™ quality specification.
  • Make sure cable connections to the storage batteries are clean and tight.
  • Check for cracks in the battery cases (1), for tightness of the cable clamps (2) at the terminals, and for corrosion of the terminals (3). Service or replace as needed.
