Circuit DescriptionThe aftertreatment SCR (selective catalytic reduction) temperature sensor module is a smart device that communicates with the engine control module via the J1939 data link. The aftertreatment SCR temperature sensor module performs its own internal diagnostics and reports malfunctions back to the engine control module using the J1939 data link. The aftertreatment SCR temperature sensor module is used to measure the aftertreatment SCR intermediate temperature and aftertreatment SCR outlet temperature. The temperature probes are permanently attached to the aftertreatment SCR temperature sensor module and can not be replaced individually.

Component LocationThe aftertreatment SCR temperature sensor module is mounted on the aftertreatment SCR catalyst.

Conditions for Running the DiagnosticsThis diagnostic runs continuously when the keyswitch is in the ON position or when the engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the Fault CodesThe Engine Control Module (ECM) detected the aftertreatment SCR intermediate temperature was above 800 C [1472] for 20 seconds.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is ActiveThe ECM illuminates the red STOP ENGINE lamp immediately after the diagnostic runs and fails.The engine will be shut down if the Engine Protection Shutdown feature is enabled.Conditions for Clearing the Fault CodeTo validate the repair, perform a key cycle, 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 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.
