ISX12/ISX11.9 CM2250 Fault Code: 3564 | SPN: 5491 | FMI: 5Aftertreatment Diesel Exhaust Fluid Line Heater Relay – Current Below Normal or Open Circuit

Overview

Circuit Description

The aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid line heater relay is used to provide power to the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid line heaters.

Component Location

The aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluidline heater relay location is original equipment manufacturer (OEM) dependent. Refer to the OEM service manual.

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 Engine Control Module (ECM) detected the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid line heater relay control signal was out or range low or open circuit.

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.

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 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

Possible causes of this fault code include:

Open circuit in the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid line heater relay circuit
