Dodge 2012 Ram Diesel - Manual (Page 92)

System Overview
This vehicle is equipped with a Diesel Exhaust Fluid
(DEF) injection system and a Selective Catalytic Reduc-
tion (SCR) catalyst to meet the emission requirements.
The DEF injection system consists of the following com-
ponents:
• DEF tank
• DEF pump
• DEF injector
• Electronically-heated DEF lines
• DEF control module
• NOx sensors
• Temperature sensors
• SCR catalyst
The DEF injection system and SCR catalyst enable the
achievement of diesel emissions requirements; while
maintaining outstanding fuel economy, drivability,
torque and power ratings.
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for
system messages and warnings.
NOTE: The DEF pump will run for a period of time
after engine shutdown to purge the DEF system. This is
normal operation.
