Cummins X15 CM2450 X124B (2018 & Newer) Fault Code: 3312 PID: SPN: 3246 FMI: 0 Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter Outlet Temperature- Data Valid But Above Normal Operational Range- Most Severe Level

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

Component Location
The aftertreatment diesel particulate filter outlet temperature sensor is located in the aftertreatment system. It is located at the outlet of the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter. Refer to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) service manual.

Conditions for Running the Diagnostics
This diagnostic runs continuously when the keyswitch is in the ON position and the engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes
The Engine Control Module (ECM) detected the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter outlet temperature reading was greater than 800°C [1472°F] for 20 seconds.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active
The ECM illuminates the red STOP ENGINE lamp immediately after the diagnostic runs and fails.
Active and stationary regeneration of the diesel particulate filter will be disabled.
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve operation will be disabled.
The engine will be shut down if the Engine Protection Shutdown feature is enabled.
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 INSITE™ electronic service tool will change to INACTIVE immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
The ECM will turn off the red STOP ENGINE lamp immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
The Reset All Faults command in INSITE™ electronic service tool can be used to clear active and inactive faults, as well as extinguish the MIL for OBD applications.

Shop Talk
This fault will go inactive after the aftertreatment temperatures drop below the warning limit and a key cycle has occurred, and will likely be inactive when the vehicle is in the shop. For these reasons this troubleshooting tree must be used for both active and inactive fault codes.

Possible causes of this fault code include:

A malfunctioning fuel injector causing unburned fuel to enter the exhaust system
Excessive engine oil being introduced into the exhaust system from the engine.
Reference the appropriate OEM wiring diagram when troubleshooting circuits that utilize wiring supplied by the OEM.

Possible Cause:
1) ECM calibration
