Circuit DescriptionThe aftertreatment temperature sensors are used by the engine control module (ECM) to monitor the engine exhaust temperatures in the aftertreatment system. The aftertreatment temperature sensors are thermistors and change resistance based on the temperature being measured. The ECM provides a 5 volt reference voltage to the sensor. The ECM monitors the change in signal voltage and converts this to a temperature value.

Component LocationThe aftertreatment diesel oxidation catalyst is located in the exhaust system. The location of the catalyst can vary, depending on the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). 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 occurring.

Conditions for Setting the Fault CodesThe Engine Control Module (ECM) detected the intake face of the diesel oxidation catalyst was plugged with soot.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is ActiveThe ECM logs the fault code immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.Active and stationary regeneration of the diesel particulate filter will be disabled.Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve operation will be disabled.Engine torque will be reduced if the engine is operated for an extended period of time with this fault active.Conditions for Clearing the Fault CodePerform INSITE™ electronic service tool Diesel Oxidation Catalyst Maintenance Reset procedure found under the Aftertreatment Maintenance section of Advanced ECM Data.The fault code status displayed by INSITE™ electronic service tool will change to INACTIVE 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 set when the inlet face of the diesel oxidation catalyst is detected to be plugged with soot.

Possible causes of this fault code include:

Engine oil or fuel plugging the front face of the aftertreatment diesel oxidation catalyst.Reference the appropriate OEM wiring diagram when troubleshooting circuits that utilize wiring supplied by the OEM.

For intermittent power supply and data link 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.
