Reducing Agent Reservoir Sensor -G697-, Checking

General Description 

The Reducing Agent Reservoir Sensor -G697- sends signals to the Reducing Agent Reservoir Processing Unit -G698- to determine three different reducing agent tank fill levels which are required for different display warning stages for refilling the reducing agent.

NOTE:

Reducing Agent Reservoir Sensor -G697-, Reducing Agent Reservoir Processing Unit -G698-, Reducing Agent Tank Heater (Heating Circuit 1) -Z102-, Reducing Agent Temperature Sensor -G685-, and Reducing Agent Heater Control Module J891 are all contained within the Reducing Agent Delivery Unit located inside the Adblue tank. Should one component be faulty the whole assembly will need to be replaced.
