Question Is this contaminated DEF?

I recently purchased this used F250, and noticed this icon below the DEF gauge. I have made a bunch of adjustments to FORSCAN so I wasn't sure if I turned something on accidentally. I have added more DEF to see if that changed anything, and it hasn't.

Is this contaminated DEF?

That icon is just the DEF system icon, just like the gas pump, thermometer and oil can below those gauges are their icons representing what they are for.

If you have a DEF issue there will be a message pop up.

It's all in the owner's manual, if your truck didn't come with one, you can download one online from your account on the ford.com website.

I recommend downloading the online version. It is much easier to do a word search on a term like DEF than it is to look up DEF in the ToC or index
