3242-2 | Diesel Particulate Filter Intake Gas Temperature (bank 1) : Erratic, Intermittent, or Incorrect | 20 | There are several connectors between the Engine Control Module (ECM) and the sensor. The connectors are 6-pin connectors. One 6-pin connector (19) is on the sensor group for the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). One 6-pin connector (8) is near the ECM. |
The ECM compares the signals from the three sensors for a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) whenever the following conditions are met: The keyswitch is turned to the ON position. 15 seconds elapse. There are no -3 codes or -4 codes for any of the sensors. The engine is started. The ECM verifies that the signal from each sensor is on the appropriate terminal of the P2 connector. The ECM activates a -2 code if a signal is detected on the wrong terminal or if the signal is incorrect. The following conditions can cause a -2 code: The sensor group for the DPF is electrically connected to the wiring. However, the sensor group is not mechanically connected to the DPF. There is a loose clamp in the exhaust piping between the outlet of the Aftertreatment Regeneration Device (ARD) and the inlet to the DPF. The tubes between the DPF and the sensor group are obstructed. The obstruction can be caused by soot or frozen condensation. There is a problem with the wiring between the sensor group and the ECM. Usually, the wiring problem is in the vehicle wiring harness. |

---|---|---|---|---|
J1939 Code | Description | Callout in the Illustrations for Component Location | Location of the Connector for the Sensor | Notes |
94-3 | Engine Fuel Delivery Pressure : Voltage Above Normal | 2 | Sensor | The ECM monitors the signal voltage from the sensor in order to detect a problem in the circuit. When the ECM detects signal voltage that is above a threshold, the ECM activates a -3 diagnostic code. The high voltage condition must exist for a period in order for the diagnostic code to be activated. During this test procedure, wait for 30 seconds after you create the test condition. Then, check for the code. The most likely cause of a -3 code is a problem in an electrical connector or wiring. The following conditions can cause a -3 code: Electrical connectors that are not fully connected A socket is fretted. The pin does not contact the socket because the socket has become loose. Electrical wiring is broken. The wire insulation appears to be okay. However, the electrical conductor inside the insulation is broken. This type of failure usually occurs when vibration causes the wire to bend back and forth. This type of failure usually occurs near an electrical connector. |
