Cummins ISB4.5 CM2150 Fault Code: 3146 PID: SPN: 4363 FMI: 3 Aftertreatment SCR Outlet Temperature Sensor Circuit – Voltage Above Normal or Shorted to High Source.

Circuit Description
The SCR outlet temperature sensor is used by the electronic control module (ECM) to monitor the engine exhaust temperature entering the catalyst. The ECM monitors the voltage on the signal pin and converts this to a temperature value.

Component Location
The SCR outlet temperature sensor is located in the exhaust aftertreatment system. It is located in the outlet of the SCR catalyst.

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

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes
The ECM detects that the SCR outlet temperature sensor signal voltage is above a calibratible value when the keyswitch is in the ON position.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active
-The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp and/or the MIL immediately after the diagnostic runs and fails.
-Engine torque will be reduced.
-A default value for the aftertreatment SCR outlet temperature is used.

Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code
-This fault code can not be cleared with INSITE™ electronic service tool.
-To validate the repair, start the engine and let it idle for 1 minute.
-The ECM will turn off the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp and/or MIL immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
-Use INSITE™ electronic service tool to verify the fault code is inactive.
-The inactive fault code will be cleared from the memory after 9600 hours of engine operation without a reoccurrence.

Shop Talk
The SCR outlet temperature sensor shares return wires in the engine harness with other sensors. A shorted return can cause multiple fault codes to be active.

Possible Causes
-Open return circuit in the harness, connectors, or sensor
-Open signal circuit or shorted to a voltage source.
