Cummins ISB6.7 CM2350 (2013-17) Fault Code: 4748 PID: SPN: 3217 FMI: 21 Aftertreatment Intake Oxygen – Data Not Rational – Drifted Low. An in-range low failure has been detected.

Circuit Description
The aftertreatment intake NOx (nitrogen oxides) sensor is a smart device and communicates with the engine control module (ECM) via the J1939 data link. The aftertreatment intake NOx sensor performs internal diagnostics and reports malfunctions back to the primary ECM using the J1939 data link. The NOx sensor is permanently attached to the NOx control module. They are serviced as a single component and can not be replaced individually. The aftertreatment intake NOx sensor is used to measure the NOx emissions at the intake of the aftertreatment system.

Component Location
The aftertreatment intake NOx sensor is mounted on the engine near the turbocharger turbine outlet.

Conditions for Running the Diagnostics
This diagnostic runs when the aftertreatment SCR outlet temperature has been above 200?C [392? F] for a calibratible period of time while the engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes
The ECM detected that the absolute difference between the inlet and outlet NOx sensors was greater than a calibrated threshold.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active
The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp and/or Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) after the diagnostic fails on two consecutive trips.

Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code
1)To validate the repair, start and operate the engine to raise exhaust temperatures. This can be done by either driving the vehicle or initiating a stationary regeneration using INSITE? electronic service tool.
2)The aftertreatment SCR outlet temperature must be above 200? C [392? F] for 60 seconds before the aftertreatment outlet NOx sensor can run its internal diagnostics.
3)The fault code status displayed by INSITE? electronic service tool will change to INACTIVE immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
4)The ECM will turn off the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
5)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.
6)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.

Possible causes:
1)Malfunctioning aftertreatment intake NOx sensor
2)Diesel exhaust fluid crystallization or deposits
3)Improperly installed aftertreatment intake NOx sensor.
4)Exhaust system leaks.

Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system leaks can also cause this fault code. Inspect the EGR bellows and EGR connections for signs of leaks.

Leaks in the air intake system between the turbocharger and intake manifold

Reference the appropriate OEM wiring diagram when troubleshooting circuits that utilize wiring supplied by the OEM.

For intermittent power supply and datalink communication issues with Aftertreatment Components, it is highly recommended that the OEM Power Distribution Center fuses and relays be thoroughly checked for loose, missing or intermittent connections.
