Circuit DescriptionThe aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid controller communicates with the ECM and controls the heating, dosing, and purging of the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid system.
Component LocationThe aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid controller is installed on the vehicle by the OEM. Refer to the OEM service manual for component location.
Conditions for Running the DiagnosticsThis diagnostic runs continuously when the engine is running.Conditions for Setting the Fault CodesThe aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid controller detects the battery supply voltage is greater than a threshold.Action Taken When the Fault Code is ActiveThe ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp and/or Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) immediately when the diagnostic runs and failsDiesel exhaust fluid injection into the aftertreatment system is disabled.Conditions for Clearing the Fault CodeTo validate the repair, start the engine and let it idle for 1 minute.
The fault code status displayed by INSITE? electronic service tool will change to INACTIVE immediately after the battery voltage drops back into normal operating range and the diagnostic runs and passes.The ECM will turn off the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp after the diagnostic runs and passes.For On Board Diagnostic (OBD) engines, the ECM will turn off the MIL after 3 consecutive trips where the diagnostic runs and passes.The ?Reset All Faults? command in INSITE? electronic service tool can be used to clear active and inactive faults, as well as extinguish the MIL for OBD applications
Shop TalkPossible causes of this fault code include:
Improper battery voltage setting in INSITE? electronic service toolA damaged alternator causing high voltageImproperly connected batteries.Reference the appropriate OEM wiring diagram when troubleshooting circuits that utilize wiring supplied by the OEM.
For intermittent power supply and datalink communication issues with Aftertreatment Components, it is highly recommended that the OEM Power Distribution Center fuses and relays be thoroughly checked for loose, missing or intermittent connections.
Possible Cause:1) Alternator, regulator, and OEM wiring failure2) ECM calibration
