Cummins X15 CM2350 X116B Performance Series (2018 & Newer) Fault Code: 4842 PID: SPN: 3364 FMI: 15 Aftertreatment Diesel Exhaust Fluid Quality- Data Valid But Above Normal Operating Range- Least Severe Level

Circuit Description
The aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid quality sensor is a smart device that communicates to the ECM via the J1939 datalink. The aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid quality sensor performs its own internal diagnostics and reports malfunctions back to the primary engine control module via the J1939 datalink. The aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid quality sensor is used to measure the concentration of the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid in the tank.

Component Location
The aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid quality sensor is located in the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid tank. It may be a combination sensor with the aftertreatement diesel exhaust fluid tank level and tank temperature sensors. Location of the tank and sensor is OEM dependent. Refer to the OEM service manual.

Conditions for Running the Diagnostics
The diagnostic runs continuously when the following conditions are met:

Keyswitch is in the ON position or when the engine is running.
Ambient temperature is above -20°C [-4°F].
Vehicle altitude change is less than 305 m [1000 ft] in 1 hour.
Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes
The DEF quality sensor has detected that the DEF concentration has risen above a critical threshold.

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
Start and idle the engine 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.
