Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Verify that the NOx Sensors are Installed
A. Locate the appropriate NOx Sensor.
B. Check if the sensor is installed properly.
Sensor
Result: The sensor is not installed properly.
Repair: Install the sensor properly. Refer to Special Instruction, REHS8151 for additional information.
Proceed to Test Step 4.
Result: The sensor is installed properly.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
2. Inspect the Exhaust System
A. Start the engine.
B. Check the exhaust system for proper installation.
C. Check for loose or broken exhaust joints.
D. Inspect the exhaust system between the turbocharger outlet and the tailpipe outlet for signs of an exhaust leak.
Exhaust System
Result: The exhaust system is OK.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
Result: The exhaust system is NOT OK.
Repair: Repair or replace the damaged exhaust component.
3. Replace the Failed NOx Sensor
A. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
B. Replace the NOx sensor that is logging the fault code.
Sensor
Result: The NOx sensor was replaced.
Proceed to Test Step 4.
4. Perform an Aftertreatment System Functional Test
A. Start the engine.
B. Run the engine until normal operating temperature is reached.
C. Connect Cat® Electronic Technician (ET) to the service tool connector.
D. Select the "Selective Catalyst Reduction System".
E. Use Cat ET to perform the following diagnostic test:
- "Aftertreatment System Functional Test"
Test
Result: The test was successful.
Return to service.
