Circuit DescriptionThe engine oil temperature sensor is a variable resistor sensor and is used to measure the temperature of the engine oil in the oil rifle. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts to the engine oil temperature signal circuit. The ECM monitors the change in voltage caused by changes in the resistance of the sensor to determine the engine oil temperature. When the oil temperature is cold, the sensor or thermistor resistance is high. The ECM signal voltage only pulls down a small amount through the sensor to a ground. Therefore, the ECM senses a high signal voltage...

Circuit DescriptionThe aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid dosing unit heater is used to defrost and/or prevent freezing of the diesel exhaust fluid dosing unit. Component LocationThe aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid dosing unit location is original equipment manufacturer (OEM) dependent. Refer to the OEM service manual. Conditions for Running the DiagnosticsThis diagnostic runs when the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid dosing unit heater is commanded ON. Conditions for Setting the Fault CodesThe Engine Control Module (ECM) detected the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid dosing unit heater temperature sensor reading was not changing when the heater was commanded ON. Action Taken When the Fault Code...

Lamp:Amber Reason:The received signal does not match the commanded signal. Effect:None on performance. Circuit Description:Normally, switches, accelerators and other components are connected to the engine Electronic Control Module (ECM) directly through individual wires. Multiplexing allows those same components to be hard wired to an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Vehicle Electronic Control Unit (VECU) or transmission Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in the cab. Then component values and states from components such as sensors, accelerators, and switches can be transmitted from the OEM VECU to the OEM ECM over the SAE J1939 data link. Messages sent from OEM VECUs or transmission ECUs...

Circuit DescriptionThe aftertreatment diesel particulate filter temperature sensor module is a smart device that communicates with the engine control module via the J1939 data link. The aftertreatment diesel partculate filter temperature sensor module performs its own internal diagnostics and reports malfunctions back to the engine control module using the J1939 data link. The aftertreatment diesel particulate filter temperature sensor module is used to measure the aftertreatment diesel oxidation catalyst intake temperature, aftertreatment diesel particulate filter intake temperature, and aftertreatment diesel particulate filter outlet temperature. The temperature probes are permanently attached to the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter temperature sensor module and...

Circuit DescriptionThe 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 intermediate 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 LocationThe aftertreatment SCR temperature sensor module is mounted on...
