Cummins ISX11.9 CM2250 (2010-12) Fault Code: 6416 PID: SPN: 3703 FMI: 31 Aftertreatment Regeneration Inhibited Due To Inhibit Switch – Condition Exists

Circuit Description
The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) can install a permit switch in the dash or send an inhibit message via the J1939 data link to the engine control module (ECM). The function of the inhibit message is to prevent the aftertreatment system from performing mobile regenerations.

Component Location
The aftertreatment regeneration permit switch can be an actual switch in the vehicle dash or it can be a J1939 message sent via the J1939 data link. Refer to the equipment manufacturer service information.

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 ECM detected the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter regeneration permit switch was disabling regeneration while the ECM was requesting active regeneration of the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active
The ECM logs the fault code immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.
Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code
To validate the repair, 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 ?Reset All Faults? command in INSITE? electronic service tool can be used to clear active and inactive faults, as well as extinguish the malfunction indicator lamp for on-board diagnostics engines.

Shop Talk
If this fault code is active and there has been damage to the aftertreatment system, the permit switch can possibly have prevented the aftertreatment system from performing a mobile (active) regeneration.

Consult with the OEM if the aftertreatment system has malfunctioned due to the permit switch.

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

Possible Cause:
1) ECM calibration
