Circuit DescriptionThe aftertreatment diesel particulate filter temperature sensor module is a smart device that communicates with the engine control module via the J1939 data link. The aftertreatment diesel partculate filter temperature sensor module performs its own internal diagnostics and reports malfunctions back to the engine control module using the J1939 data link. The aftertreatment diesel particulate filter temperature sensor module is used to measure the aftertreatment diesel oxidation catalyst intake temperature, aftertreatment diesel particulate filter intake temperature, and aftertreatment diesel particulate filter outlet temperature. The temperature probes are permanently attached to the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter temperature sensor module and can not be replaced individually.

Component LocationThe aftertreatment diesel oxidation catalyst intake temperature sensor is located in the aftertreatment system. It is located at the intake of the aftertreatment catalyst. Refer to the OEM service manual.

Conditions for Running the DiagnosticsThis diagnostic runs continuously when the engine is running and active regeneration of the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter is not occurring.

Conditions for Setting the Fault CodesThe Engine Control Module (ECM) detected the temperature at the diesel oxidation catalyst intake was greater than 690°C [1112°F] for 60 seconds.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is ActiveThe ECM illuminates the red STOP ENGINE lamp immediately after the diagnostic runs and fails.A default value for the aftertreatment diesel oxidation catalyst intake temperature sensor reading is used.Active and stationary regeneration of the diesel particulate filter will be disabled.The engine will be shut down if the Engine Protection Shutdown feature is enabled.Conditions for Clearing the Fault CodeTo validate the repair using a Diagnostic Road Test, utilize a route that incorporates both stop and go city type driving and steady state highway type driving. It may be necessary to load the unit for certain diagnostics in the ECM to run.To validate the repair using a Chassis Dynamometer, utilize a routine that incorporates acceleration and motoring events, steady state highway type operation, and load. This will simulate normal driving and allow the diagnostics in the ECM to run.The fault code status displayed by INSITE™ electronic service tool will change to INACTIVE immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.The ECM will turn off the red STOP ENGINE lamp immediately after 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 TalkThis fault code is logged when the ECM has detected a high temperature condition in the aftertreatment system and active regeneration of the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter is not occurring. The fault code indicates that a secondary fuel source is entering the aftertreatment system and is creating a temperature increase across the aftertreatment diesel oxidation catalyst and/or aftertreatment diesel particulate filter.

Possible causes of this fault code include:

Excessive engine oil or diesel fuel being introduced into the exhaust system from the engineA damaged engine fuel injector causing unburned diesel fuel to enter the exhaust systemThe aftertreatment system must be inspected after making the appropriate repair outlined in this fault code troubleshooting tree. Progressive damage to the aftertreatment system may have occurred. Remove the exhaust aftertreatment system from the vehicle to inspect it for potential damage and reuse. Refer to the OEM service manual.

Reference the appropriate OEM wiring diagram when troubleshooting circuits that utilize wiring supplied by the OEM.

Possible Cause:1) ECM calibration
