Freightliner B6.7 DEF Head Unit 2014-2023: OEM 04-31923-000

Reliable DEF System Monitoring for Freightliner B6.7 Engines (2014–2023)


What is it?
The Freightliner B6.7 DEF Head Unit, identified by OEM 04-31923-000, is a critical component mounted inside the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) tank. It monitors essential DEF system parameters, including fluid level, temperature, and quality, while supplying this information to the engine control module. This data helps the aftertreatment system manage DEF delivery and maintain proper emissions system operation. 

Why choose this DEF Head Unit?
Modern diesel emissions systems rely on accurate DEF monitoring to ensure proper operation of the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system. The OEM 04-31923-000 DEF Head Unit is designed specifically for Freightliner vehicles equipped with Cummins B6.7 engines, ensuring compatibility with factory-installed DEF and emissions components.

Over time, exposure to temperature changes, vibration, and contaminants can affect the head unit's sensors and communication functions. When this occurs, it may lead to warning lights, fault codes, incorrect DEF level readings, or emissions system limitations. A properly functioning DEF head unit helps maintain reliable communication between the DEF tank and the engine control module.

Choosing an OEM-matched DEF head unit helps ensure proper fitment, dependable operation, and seamless integration with the vehicle's existing emissions system.
