Overview
| CODE | REASON | EFFECT |
| Fault Code: 5716 PID: SPN: 3610 FMI: 10/10 LAMP: Amber SRT: |
The aftertreatment diesel particulate filter outlet pressure sensor is reading an erratic value.
|
Active and stationary regeneration of the diesel particulate filter will be disabled. |
Circuit Description
The engine control module (ECM) provides a 5 volt supply to the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter outlet pressure sensor on the sensor supply circuit. The ECM also provides a ground on the sensor return circuit. The aftertreatment diesel particulate filter outlet pressure sensor provides a signal to the ECM on the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter outlet pressure sensor signal circuit. This sensor signal voltage changes based on the pressure at the outlet of the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter.
Component Location
The aftertreatment diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor is mounted on the diesel particulate filter. It is a combination sensor that detects both diesel particulate filter differential pressure and outlet pressure. Refer to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) service manual.
Conditions for Running the Diagnostics
This diagnostic consists of two parts:
One part runs when the keyswitch is initially turned ON before the engine is started
The second part runs continuously while the engine is running.
Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes
The Engine Control Module (ECM) detected the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter outlet pressure is not changing with engine conditions.
Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active
- The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp and/or malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after the diagnostic fails on two consecutive trips.
- 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 Code
- To 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 the recommended Cummins® electronic service tool or equivalent will change to INACTIVE immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
- 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.
Shop Talk
Possible causes of this fault code include:
Stuck in-range aftertreatment diesel particulate filter outlet pressure sensor reading
High resistance in the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter outlet pressure sensor signal or return wires
Higher than expected diesel particulate filter outlet pressure
Excessive diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) deposits in the aftertreatment decomposition tube
Plugged aftertreatment outlet pressure sensor ports could cause this fault code if pressure is held in the port after the engine is turned OFF.
Frozen, plugged, or restricted aftertreatment DPF differential pressure sensor tubes.
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.
