Overview
| CODE | REASON | EFFECT |
| Fault Code: 4213 PID: SPN: 3695 FMI: 2/2 LAMP: Amber SRT: |
The aftertreatment regeneration permit switch is stuck in the OFF or INHIBIT position.
|
May cause frequent aftertreatment regeneration. |
Circuit Description
The OEM truck manufacturer can install a permit switch in the dash or send an inhibit message via the J1939 data link to the engine ECM. The function of the inhibit message is to prevent the aftertreatment system from performing mobile regenerations.
Component Location
The aftertreatment regeneration permit switch can be an actual switch in the vehicle dash or it can be a J1939 message sent via the J1939 data link. Refer to the OEM service manual.
Conditions for Running the Diagnostics
This diagnostic runs continuously when the engine is running.
Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes
The Engine Control Module (ECM) detected the aftertreatment regeneration permit switch is stuck in the OFF or INHIBIT position and the ECM is requesting active regeneration.
Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active
- The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.
- Active and stationary regeneration of the diesel particulate filter 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 Code
- To validate the repair, start the engine and perform the recommended Cummins® electronic service tool or equivalent Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration Test.
- The ECM will turn off the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
- For On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) engines, the ECM will extinguish the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) after three consecutive trips where the diagnostic runs and passes.
- The “Reset All Faults” command in the recommended Cummins® electronic service tool or equivalent can be used to clear active and inactive faults, as well as extinguish the MIL for OBD applications.

Linked Solutions
- None
Validation
- Check ECM Calibration Revision History
- Use the recommended Cummins® electronic service tool or equivalent to find the current ECM code and revision number in the ECM.
- Compare the ECM code and revision number in the ECM to the calibration revisions listed in the ECM Calibration Revision History Database for applicable changes related to this fault code.
- Refer to ECM Calibration Revision History Database.
- Connect all components
- Connect the recommended Cummins® electronic service tool or equivalent.
- Operate the engine within the “Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code” found in the Overview section of the troubleshooting procedure.
- Verify that the fault code is no longer active.
Solution: S00000443
Verification
Conditions
- Connect all components.
- Turn keyswitch ON.
- Connect the recommended Cummins® electronic service tool or equivalent.
Action
- Use the recommended Cummins® electronic service tool or equivalent to read the fault codes.
- Use the recommended Cummins® electronic service tool or equivalent to find the current ECM code and revision number in the ECM.
- Compare the ECM code and revision number in the ECM to the calibration revision listed in the ECM calibration revision history for applicable changes.
Specification
- If a calibration update for this fault code is available, the ECM calibration revision must be that revision or higher.
Linked Solutions
- None
Repair
- Prior to downloading the ECM calibration, check to see that all job images and all other troubleshooting has been documented as downloading an ECM calibration will remove the fault codes on the ECM.
- Download the updated ECM calibration code.
Validation
- Connect all components
