Most frequent Scania faults — symptom and typical solution
The table helps with initial fault location; the cause is confirmed by SDP3 diagnostics:
| Symptom | Typical cause | Repair scope |
|---|---|---|
| Power limitation, AdBlue message | NOx sensor, urea doser | SCR system repair, calibration |
| Frequent DPF regeneration | clogged particulate filter | forced regeneration or DPF replacement |
| Jerking / gear-change faults | worn clutch or Opticruise module | Opticruise repair, SDP3 calibration |
| Weak engine braking | worn retarder valves or bearings | retarder overhaul, calibration |
| DC 13 timing knock | worn timing chain / tensioner | chain and tensioner replacement |
| Pressure drop, EBS fault | Wabco/Knorr modulator, wheel sensor | overhaul/replacement, EBS test with report |
The mechanical scope overlaps with other makes in the workshop — see truck service, brake repair and EBS diagnostics.
