Hi everyone, Im having problem with my Ford ranger 2016 3.2tdci. I ran out of adblue and the car wouldnt start. So i refilled adblue , but the car still wont start. Im getting notification which says "adblue requires service to start the engine." Did anyone ever had this kind of problem? BTW- how I'm supposed to get to service when my car doesn't start. Thanks everyone for any help.

I don't know anything about diesels or DEF, but I was recently reading about some of the VW "diesel gate" vehicles having a similar problem when they reached zero on some sort of AdBlue gauge. I believe they were saying that the dealer or someone with a programmer had to reset some variable in the ECU because it had a "I'm not going to start without any AdBlue" sensor that wouldn't reset by just re-filling the reservoir. I have no clue if that could be your problem, but it might be a place to start?

Good luck.
