Overview

 

CODE REASON EFFECT
Fault Code: 5866
PID: 
SPN: 520953
FMI: 3/3
LAMP: Amber
SRT: 

 

A short to battery has been detected on the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Dosing Unit Relay Feedback signal.

 

 

Possible reduced engine performance.

Circuit Description

The aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid dosing unit performs many functions, one of which is to generate adequate diesel exhaust fluid pressure in the lines, using a pump, to allow for dosing. The ECM provides a battery voltage supply and a ground to the diesel exhaust fluid dosing unit. The ECM also supplies a signal to the dosing unit to control the diesel exhaust fluid output. This signal changes, based on the diesel exhaust fluid pressure being commanded.

Component Location

The aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid dosing unit location is original equipment manufacturer (OEM) dependent. Refer to the OEM service manual.

 

Conditions for Running the Diagnostics

This diagnostic runs when the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid dosing unit is commanded OFF.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes

The Engine Control Module (ECM) detected voltage above a calibrated value on the Pump Relay Feedback circuit when the dosing valve was not commanded ON.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active

  • The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.
  • Engine torque will be severely 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 ECM will turn off the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
  • 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 “Reset All Faults” command in the recommended Cummins® electronic service tool or equivalent can be used to clear active and inactive faults.
