Cummins ISX11.9 CM2250 (2010-12) Fault Code: 3322 PID: SPN: 3246 FMI: 2 Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter Outlet Temperature- Data Erratic, Intermittent, or Incorrect

Circuit Description
The aftertreatment temperature sensors are used by the engine control module (ECM) to monitor the engine exhaust temperatures in the aftertreatment system. The aftertreatment temperature sensors are thermistors and change resistance, based on the temperature being measured. The ECM provides a 5 volt reference voltage to the sensor. The ECM monitors the change in signal voltage and converts it to a temperature value.

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 when the engine is operating.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes
The ECM detects that the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter outlet temperature sensor reading is not changing with engine operating conditions.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active
The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp and/or malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails for two consecutive trips.
A default value for the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter outlet temperature sensor reading is used.
Diesel exhaust fluid injection into the aftertreatment system is disabled.
Active and stationary regeneration of the diesel particulate filter will be disabled.
The EGR valve will be closed.
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 using a Diagnostic Road Test, utilize a route that incorporates both stop-and-go city driving and steady state highway driving. It may be necessary to load the unit for certain diagnostics in the ECM to run.
To validate the repair using a Chassis Dynamometer Test, utilize a routine that incorporates acceleration and motoring events, steady state highway operation, and load. This will simulate normal driving and allow the diagnostics in the ECM to run.
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 amber CHECK ENGINE lamp after the diagnostic runs and passes.
For On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) engines, the ECM will turn off the MIL after three consecutive trips where 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
Possible causes of this fault code include:

Stuck in-range aftertreatment diesel particulate filter outlet temperature sensor
High resistance in the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter outlet temperature sensor signal or return lines
Malfunctioning aftertreatment diesel particulate filter temperature sensor interface module.
Reference the appropriate OEM wiring diagram when troubleshooting circuits that utilize wiring supplied by the OEM.

For intermittent power supply and data link 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.

Possible Cause:
1) Aftertreatment DPF temperature sensor interface module failure
2) Aftertreatment interface harness failure
3) OEM harness
4) ECM calibration
