Overview
| CODE | REASON | EFFECT |
| Fault Code: 1682 PID: SPN: 3362 FMI: 11/31 LAMP: Amber SRT: |
The aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid dosing unit is unable to prime.
|
Possible reduced engine performance. |
Circuit Description
The diesel exhaust fluid dosing unit lines are responsible for transporting diesel exhaust fluid between the dosing unit, dosing valve, and diesel exhaust fluid tank.
Component Location
There are three diesel exhaust fluid lines. One line is between the dosing unit and dosing valve, and the other two lines are between the dosing unit and the diesel exhaust fluid tank. These lines can be partially hidden from view by the SCR system and other vehicle components. Line routing will vary, based on the aftertreatment architecture and the OEM.
Conditions for Running the Diagnostics
This diagnostic runs when the SCR system is trying to prime.
Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes
The aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid dosing unit was unable to successfully prime after multiple attempts.
Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active
- The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp and/or the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.
Engine torque will be severely reduced.
Vehicle speed will be limited to 8 km [5 mi] per hour.
Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code
- To validate the repair, perform the «Aftertreatment Diesel Exhaust Fluid Doser Pump Override Test» found under «ECM Diagnostic Tests» in the recommended Cummins® electronic service tool or equivalent.
- 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:
