Trailblazer AdBlue System Error
Summary of the thread
A 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer diesel is experiencing an AdBlue system error, showing an empty tank despite being full, preventing the engine from starting. The issue may be due to a defective AdBlue output or a clogged DEF injector. A similar case suggested that taking the vehicle to a workshop for professional assessment and repair is advisable.

Could you elaborate on your experience? Was the engine starting prevented in your case? I want to better understand the parallels between our situations to inform my next steps.

Okay, so my Trailblazer had the dash light up like a Christmas tree! The error messages were definitely similar, all pointing to AdBlue issues. The engine did start, but it felt like it was running in a limp mode, and I was worried about causing damage. Honestly, after fiddling around for a bit, I just took it to a workshop. They sorted it pretty quickly. Better safe than sorry, especially with emissions stuff.

I appreciate your input. Based on your experience, I shall proceed with a workshop assessment to resolve this issue. The likely repair cost indicated to me is around 250€. Thank you again for sharing your insights.

Whoa, sounds frustrating! I've got a Trailblazer too, and I had a similar problem with the AdBlue system. The error messages were driving me nuts! It's like a faulty sensor is yelling 'wolf' when everything is fine. Did you check the DEF injector? It can sometimes get clogged and mess with the whole system.
