Diagnostic Trouble Codes
J1939 Code	Code Description	Comments
4360-16	Aftertreatment #1 SCR Catalyst Intake Gas Temperature : High - moderate severity (2)	The aftertreatment SCR catalyst intake gas temperature sensor has detected that the SCR intake temperature is above the normal operating range.
4360-17	Aftertreatment #1 SCR Catalyst Intake Gas Temperature : Low - least severe (1)	The aftertreatment SCR catalyst intake gas temperature sensor has detected that the SCR intake temperature is below the normal operating range.
4360-18	Aftertreatment #1 SCR Catalyst Intake Gas Temperature : Low – moderate severity (2)	The aftertreatment SCR catalyst intake gas temperature sensor has detected that the SCR intake temperature is far below the normal operating range.

Troubleshooting Test Steps	Values	Results
1. Determine the diagnostic code. A. Connect Cat® ET to the service tool connector. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tools", if necessary. B. Determine if a diagnostic trouble code is present.	Diagnostic trouble code	Result : A 4360-16 code with an ETI of 1 or 2 is active or logged. Proceed to Test Step 2. Result : A 4360-17 or4360-18 code is logged or active. Proceed to Test Step 2.
2. Check the operation of the SCR catalyst inlet temperature sensor. Note : Only perform this step on a cold engine. A. Remove the SCR catalyst inlet temperature sensor and allow the sensor to rest in ambient air for 2 minutes. B. Connect to the engine ECM by using Cat ET. C. Monitor the value of the SCR catalyst inlet temperature sensor on Cat ET.	Sensor	Result : The value of the SCR catalyst inlet temperature sensor is within ± 9° C (15° F) of ambient temperature. Repair : Reinstall the sensor. torque the sensor to the proper specification. For a 4360-16 code proceed to Test Step 4. For a 4360-17 or 4360-18 code proceed to Test Step 3. Result : The value of the SCR catalyst inlet temperature sensor is not within ± 9° C (15° F) of ambient temperature. Repair : Replace the SCR catalyst inlet temperature sensor. Refer to the Disassembly and Assembly manual for more information. Proceed to Test Step 5.
3. Check for exhaust leaks. A. Start the engine. B. Check the exhaust system for proper installation. C. Check for proper installation of the exhaust system insulation. D. Inspect the exhaust system between the DPF and the SCR for signs of an exhaust leak. E. Inspect the SCR inlet temperature sensor to ensure proper installation in the sensor port.	Exhaust leaks	Result : There were exhaust leaks found. Repair : Repair or replace the component that is causing an exhaust leak. Proceed to Test Step 5.
4. Check the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) quality. A. Measure the DEF quality. Refer to the Testing and Adjusting, "Diesel Exhaust Fluid Quality - Test" for the correct procedure.	DEF	Result : The DEF is not contaminated. Repair : Check the exhaust system for fuel. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Exhaust System Contains Fuel". Contact the Dealer Solution Network (DSN) for authorization to replace the DOC, DPF, DEF Injector, and the SCR catalyst. Refer to Special Instruction, REHS8180 and the Disassembly and Assembly for more information. Proceed to Test Step 5. Result : The DEF is contaminated. Repair : Contact the DSN for authorization to replace the DEF tank, DEF tank header and filters, all DEF lines, DEF pump, DEF injector, and the SCR catalyst. Refer to Special Instruction, REHS8180 and the Disassembly and Assembly for more information. Proceed to Test Step 5.
5. Perform the "Aftertreatment System Functional Test" A. Start the engine. B. Connect to the "Engine #1 Aftertreatment Control ECM" using Cat ET. C. Perform the "Aftertreatment System Functional Test".	"Aftertreatment System Functional Test"	Result : The test was successful. Return the unit to service. Result : The test was not successful. There are additional diagnostic codes. Repair : Troubleshoot the diagnostic codes that are active. Refer to the Troubleshooting guide for the correct troubleshooting procedure. Verify that the problem has been resolved.
