Cummins ISB6.7 CM2350 (2013-17) Fault Code: 3165 PID: SPN: 4363 FMI: 0 Aftertreatment 1 SCR Outlet Temperature- Data Valid But Above Normal Operating Range- Most Severe Level

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 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 Location
The aftertreatment SCR temperature sensor module is mounted on the aftertreatment SCR catalyst.

Conditions for Running the Diagnostics
This diagnostic runs continuously when the engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes
The Engine Control Module (ECM) detected the temperature at the SCR catalyst outlet temperature sensor was greater than 800?C [1472?F] for more than 20 seconds.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active
1)The ECM illuminates the red STOP ENGINE lamp immediately after the diagnostic runs and fails.
2)The engine will be shut down if the Engine Protection Shutdown feature is enabled.
3)Diesel exhaust fluid injection into the aftertreatment system is disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code
1)To validate the repair using a Diagnostic Road Test, utilize a route that incorporates both stop and go city type driving and steady state highway type driving. It may be necessary to load the unit for certain diagnostics in the ECM to run.
2)To validate the repair using a Chassis Dynamometer, utilize a routine that incorporates acceleration and motoring events, steady state highway type operation, and load. This will simulate normal driving and allow the diagnostics in the ECM to run.
3)The fault code status displayed by INSITE? electronic service tool will change to INACTIVE immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
4)The ECM will turn off the red STOP ENGINE lamp immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
5)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
This fault will go inactive immediately after the SCR outlet temperature drops below the warning limit, and will likely be inactive at the time of diagnosis. For these reasons this troubleshooting tree must be used for both active and inactive fault codes.

Possible causes:
1) Malfunctioning SCR catalyst
2) Degraded, diluted, or incorrect diesel exhuast fluid
3) Malfunctioning in-range SCR outlet temperature sensor.
