Overview

 

CODE REASON EFFECT
Fault Code: 7224
PID: 
SPN: 7332
FMI: 1/18
LAMP: Amber
SRT: 

 

The ECM detected a failure of the engine system to achieve and/or maintain DEF dosing temperature conditions while operating in SCR Thermal Management.

 

 

None on performance.

Circuit Description

SCR Thermal Management (TM) is used to achieve or maintain the SCR at a minimum operating temperature to allow for efficient NOx conversion. This is done by increasing the exhaust temperature of the engine.

Component Location

The SCR catalyst is located in the vehicle’s exhaust system, after the diesel particulate filter and decomposition tube.

 

Conditions for Running the Diagnostics

This diagnostic consists of two parts. The first part of this diagnostic runs at initial key ON and the second part runs when the engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes

The Engine failed to achieve and/or maintain DEF dosing temperature conditions while operating in SCR Thermal Management mode.

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.

Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code

  • It is necessary to use the “Reset All Faults” command in the recommended Cummins® electronic service tool or equivalent to clear this fault and extinguish the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp and/or Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).
