Cummins X15 CM2450 X124B (2018 & Newer) Fault Code: 3142 PID: SPN: 4360 FMI: 3 Aftertreatment 1 SCR Intake Temperature Sensor Circuit- Voltage Above Normal or Shorted to high Source

Circuit Description
The aftertreatment SCR (selective catalytic reduction) temperature sensor module is a smart device that communicates with the engine control module via the J1939 data link. The aftertreatment SCR temperature sensor module performs its own internal diagnostics and reports malfunctions back to the engine control module using the J1939 data link. The aftertreatment SCR temperature sensor module is used to measure the aftertreatment SCR intake temperature and aftertreatment SCR outlet temperature. The temperature probes are permanently attached to the aftertreatment SCR temperature sensor module and can not be replaced individually.

Component Location
The SCR intake temperature sensor is located in the aftertreatment system. It is located between the diesel particulate filter and the SCR catalyst in the exhaust system.

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 Engine Control Module (ECM) detected the SCR intake temperature sensor signal voltage was greater than 4.4-VDC for more than 2 seconds.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active
The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp and/or the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.
Diesel exhaust fluid injection into the aftertreatment system is disabled.
Engine torque will be reduced if the engine is operated for an extended period of time with this fault active.
Engine torque will be severely reduced.
Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code
To validate the repair, perform a key cycle, 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 ECM will turn off the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
For On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) engines, the ECM will extinguish the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) after four 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
The SCR intake temperature sensor shares return wires in the engine harness with other sensors. An open return can cause multiple fault codes to be active.

Possible causes of this fault code include:

Open return circuit in the harness, connectors, or sensor
Open signal circuit or shorted to a voltage source
Malfunctioning aftertreatment SCR catalyst 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 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.

Possible Cause:
1) Aftertreatment SCR temperature sensor module failure
2) ECM calibration
