SPN 4374 — AdBlue pump overworking: clogged or leaking lines

Don’t put off the repair

A fault code doesn’t yet mean the unit or sensor itself is faulty: often it’s the plug and connector leading to it.

What you can do yourself

  1. Check the AdBlue lines from the tank to the pump and from the pump to the dosing module for kinks, cracks or white crystals.
  2. A clogged AdBlue pump filter or tank intake screen — have it replaced at a repair shop.
  3. FMI 0 — the pump runs faster than usual but the pressure doesn’t rise: an air leak, a blockage or a leak in the lines.
  4. FMI 1 — the pressure is too high: the line to the dosing valve is pinched or frozen, or the dosing valve is clogged.
  5. See an auto electrician: check the pressure and pump with a scanner.

Stop and don’t drive on if:

  • The Check Engine light is flashing
  • The temperature gauge is in the red or the overheating light is on
  • The red oil pressure light is on
  • Smoke from under the bonnet, a burning or petrol smell
  • Strong jerking, knocking from the engine, or the car barely moves

Add the FMI — the second number of the code. It shows what exactly is wrong with the parameter.

The explanation comes from the error code reference in the AvtoElektrik PRO app.

The second number, FMI: what exactly is wrong

A truck code is two numbers: SPN (which part) and FMI (what is wrong with it). Tap your FMI and the app opens the meaning of that exact code.
