AdBlue
AdBlue & SCR Software Solutions
AdBlue forms part of the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) emissions system fitted to many modern diesel vehicles. When the system develops a fault, it can trigger warning lights, fault codes, reduced performance and, on some vehicles, a countdown preventing the engine from restarting.
At Redline Remaps, we provide AdBlue and SCR-related diagnostics and ECU software services for suitable vehicles and applications.
What is AdBlue?
AdBlue is a urea-based fluid injected into the exhaust system of many modern diesel vehicles. It works with the SCR system to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by converting them into nitrogen and water.
The system relies on several components working correctly, including:
- AdBlue pump and injector
- NOx sensors
- AdBlue tank and level sensors
- Temperature and pressure sensors
- SCR catalyst
- Associated ECU software and control systems
Common AdBlue & SCR Problems
AdBlue systems can develop a number of faults as vehicles age, including:
- AdBlue warning lights
- NOx sensor faults
- Pump or injector failures
- AdBlue pressure faults
- Tank and level sensor problems
- Crystallisation and blocked lines
- SCR efficiency fault codes
- AdBlue countdown or non-start warnings
Correct diagnosis is important before replacing components, as similar warning messages can be caused by several different parts of the system.
AdBlue & SCR Software Services
We can diagnose AdBlue and SCR-related faults and advise on the appropriate software options available for the vehicle and its intended use.
Important: Emissions control systems fitted to vehicles used on public roads must remain compliant with applicable UK emissions and road-use regulations. Certain software modifications may therefore only be appropriate for vehicles or machinery that are not used on public roads, such as dedicated off-road, motorsport or other exempt applications.
