B6.7 CM2450 B155B Fault Code: 4163 | SPN: 5742 | FMI: 16Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter Temperature Sensor Module – Data Valid But Above Normal Operating Range – Moderately Severe Level

Overview

Circuit Description

The aftertreatment exhaust gas temperature sensor module is a smart device that communicates with the engine control module via the J1939 data link. The aftertreatment exhaust gas temperature sensor module performs its own internal diagnostics and reports malfunctions back to the engine control module using the J1939 data link. The aftertreatment exhaust gas temperature sensor module is used to measure the aftertreatment diesel oxidation catalyst intake temperature, aftertreatment diesel particulate filter intake temperature, aftertreatment diesel particulate filter outlet temperature, and aftertreatment SCR outlet temperature. The temperature probes are permanently attached to the aftertreatment exhaust gas temperature sensor module and can not be replaced individually.

Component Location

The aftertreatment exhaust gas temperature sensor module is located on the aftertreatment catalyst.

Conditions for Running the Diagnostics

This diagnostic runs continuously when the keyswitch is in the ON position or when the engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes

The aftertreatment exhaust gas temperature sensor module reported the internal circuit board temperature was too high.

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.
• 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, perform a key cycle, start the engine and let it idle for 1 minute.
• 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

This fault code indicates the internal temperature of the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter temperature sensor module was too high. Troubleshoot the exhaust system for leaks, missing heat shields, or dirt and debris that could lead to over heating of the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter temperature sensor module.
