Overview

 

CODE REASON EFFECT
Fault Code: 5383
PID: 
SPN: 3720
FMI: 0/15
LAMP: Maintenance
SRT: 

 

The ash load of the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter has exceeded the recommended limits.

 

 

None on performance.

Circuit Description

The engine aftertreatment system monitors the aftertreatment DPF restriction. The diagnostic alerts the operator of the excessive ash in the aftertreatment DPF.

Component Location

The aftertreatment diesel particulate filter is located in the exhaust system and is installed by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Refer to the OEM service manual.

 

Conditions for Running the Diagnostics

This diagnostic runs when the engine is operating and exhaust flow is above a minimum level.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes

This diagnostic monitors the aftertreatment DPF differential pressure sensor. When the aftertreatment DPF differential pressure is above a maximum value at the end of an aftertreatment regeneration the fault code is set.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active

The ECM will illuminate the MAINTENANCE lamp during the key cycle after the diagnostic runs and fails.

Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code

  • In order to clear the fault code, the aftertreatment DPF must be exchanged or properly cleaned and the recommended Cummins® electronic service tool or equivalent must be used to perform an Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter Installation.
