4301-5     Aftertreatment #1 Fuel Injector #1 Heater Control : Current Below Normal     The Electronic Control Module (ECM) detects the following conditions:
A low current condition (open circuit) in the circuit for the Aftertreatment Regeneration Device (ARD) nozzle heater relay circuit for one second.
The ECM has been powered for at least one second.
The ECM is not attempting to power the ARD nozzle heater relay.    
4301-6     Aftertreatment #1 Fuel Injector #1 Heater Control : Current Above Normal     The ECM detects the following conditions:
A high current condition (short circuit) in the circuit for the ARD nozzle heater circuit for at least one second.
The ECM has been powered for at least one second.
The ECM is attempting to power the ARD nozzle heater relay.    

The ARD nozzle can become plugged with carbon or with debris. The engine is equipped with a system that cleans the nozzle. The ECM periodically tests the condition of the nozzle. The ARD combustion head contains an electric heating element. The heating element operates periodically in order to clean the nozzle.
