Overview

 

CODE REASON EFFECT
Fault Code: 3575
PID: 
SPN: 4334
FMI: 0/16
LAMP: Amber
SRT: 

 

The diesel exhaust fluid dosing unit has detected a blockage in the diesel exhaust fluid return flow.

 

 

Possible reduced engine performance.

Circuit Description

The Engine Control Module (ECM) provides a 5 volt supply and a ground to the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid pressure sensor. The pressure sensor provides a signal to the ECM on the sensor signal circuit. This sensor signal voltage changes, based on the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid pressure supplied by the dosing unit. The ECM will detect a low signal voltage at low diesel exhaust fluid pressures, and a high signal voltage at high diesel exhaust fluid pressures.

Component Location

The aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid pressure sensor is internal to the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid dosing unit and can not be serviced separately.

 

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 diesel exhuast fluid controller has detected that the diesel exhaust fluid pressure in the dosing unit is above 1250 kpa [181 psi] for more than 20 seconds.

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 reduced if the engine is operated for an extended period of time with this fault active.

Engine torque will be severely reduced.

Vehicle speed will be limited to 8 km [5 mi] per hour after extended engine operation with the fault code active.

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.
