Customers may also comment on one or more of the following: ● **Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) level gauge inaccuracy. ● Poor cold start performance. ● Unable to initiate manual Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regen through EVIC.** ● Unable to engage Power Take-Off (PTO) in mobile condition while the vehicle is moving, but has no issue engaging PTO while the vehicle is stationary. ● Engine stalls under high PTO loads at high altitudes. ● PTO does not work during the split-shaft mode. ● Engine/Cab shake during engine shutdown. ● PTO light not blinking when PTO disengaged. ● Poor engine starting performance. ● DEF level gauge fluctuations. ● In cold conditions the engine automatically increases idle speed when in Park to help with warm-up. Once warmed up, it returns to normal idle speed. If the engine is cycling in and out of this elevated idle speed condition, the customer could complain that its not behaving properly. ● Poor alternator charging and battery life **This bulletin involves inspecting and possibly reprogramming the PCM with the latest available software.**
