What are the common causes of Adblue emission system faults?

Common causes of these faults include failed pumps, blocked lines and/or injectors, poor quality Adblue or the wrong fluid entirely. In the example above, the problem is being caused by an Adblue injector that’s stuck open.

If I have a faulty injector, do I always need to replace it with a new one?

Not necessarily. You could also consider remanufacture or repair, depending on the extent of the fault. These can save cost, and also be more environmentally friendly options.
