Known weak points

  • EGR valve clogging with soot – hesitation, black smoke and limp mode
  • DPF blocking on short-trip use; failed regenerations and high oil level from diesel dilution
  • Turbocharger failure and boost leaks on the intercooler hoses
  • Injector and fuel pressure regulator (SCV) faults giving rough idle and starting trouble
  • Chassis: rear Watts-link bushes and front drop links knocking; electric parking brake faults

Fuse assignment varies by equipment level and production year. Always confirm with the label on the fuse box cover or the owner's manual.
