Cummins X15 CM2450 X124B (2018 & Newer) Fault Code: 3682 PID: PID 190 SPN: 3218 FMI: 2 Aftertreatment Intake Nox Sensor Power Supply- Data Erratic, Intermittent, or Incorrect

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 aftetreatment diesel oxidation catalsyst intake temperature sensor has been above 150° C [302° F] for 5 seconds while the engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes
The Engine Control Module (ECM) detected the power supply to the intake NOx sensor was above or below a calibratible 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
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.
The aftertreatment diesel oxidation catalyst intake temperature must be above 150° C [302° F] for 5 seconds before the aftertreatment intake NOx sensor can run its internal diagnostics.
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 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:

Short to battery or ground in the OEM harness
Open NOx sensor power supply circuit in the OEM harness
Incorrect system voltage set-up in INSITE™ electronic service tool
Internal malfunction of the intake NOx sensor
The NOx sensor part number is incorrect.
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 Intake NOx sensor failure
2) Loose Connections
3) Battery failure
4) Engine harness
5) ECM calibration
