Diagnostic Trouble Codes for the ARD Nozzle Heater 
J1939 Code  CDL Code  Code Description  Comments 
4301-5  3182–5  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  3182–6  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 to clean the nozzle.

G. Measure the voltage between terminal 2 on the harness connector for the relay and a suitable ground.

H. Use the "ARD Nozzle Heater Circuit Test" in the electronic service tool to switch off the ARD nozzle heater.

I. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
 

Within 3.0 VDC of battery voltage
 

Result: The voltage is not within the expected range. The CEM harness between the 2-pin connector and the connector for the relay is OK.

Return all wires to the original configuration. Proceed to Test Step 20.

Result: The voltage is within the expected range. The fault is in the CEM harness between the 2-pin connector and the connector for the relay.

Repair: Repair the faulty wiring or replace the faulty wiring.

Proceed to Test Step 16 to confirm that the repair eliminates the fault.
 

20. Check for Voltage at the Input to the Relay

A. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.

B. Disconnect the connector for the ARD nozzle heater relay.

C. Start the engine. Wait for the engine to reach operating temperature.

D. Use the "ARD Nozzle Heater Circuit Test" in the electronic service tool to switch on the ARD nozzle heater.

E. Measure the voltage between terminal 3 on the CEM harness connector for the relay and a suitable ground.

F. Use the "ARD Nozzle Heater Circuit Test" in the electronic service tool to switch off the ARD nozzle heater.

G. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
 

Within 3.0 VDC of battery voltage
 

Result: The voltage is not within the expected range. The relay is OK.

Reconnect the connector for the relay. Proceed to Test Step 21.

Result: The voltage is within the expected range. The relay is faulty.

Repair: Replace the ARD nozzle heater relay. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Relay (ARD Nozzle Heater) - Remove and Install".

Proceed to Test Step 16 to confirm that the repair eliminates the fault.
 

21. Check for Voltage at the 40-Pin Connector

A. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.

B. Disconnect the 40-pin connector.

C. Start the engine. Wait for the engine to reach operating temperature.

D. Use the "ARD Nozzle Heater Circuit Test" in the electronic service tool to switch on the ARD nozzle heater.

E. Measure the voltage between pin 18 on the 40-pin connector and a suitable ground.

F. Use the "ARD Nozzle Heater Circuit Test" in the electronic service tool to switch off the ARD nozzle heater.

G. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
 

Within 3.0 VDC of battery voltage
 

Result: The voltage is not within the expected range. The fault is in the wiring between the 40-pin connector and switched battery +.

Repair the faulty wiring or replace the faulty wiring.

Proceed to Test Step 16 to confirm that the repair eliminates the fault.

Result: The voltage is within the expected range. The fault is in the CEM harness between the 40-pin connector and the connector for the relay.

Repair: Repair the faulty wiring or replace the faulty wiring

Proceed to Test Step 16 to confirm that the repair eliminates the fault.
 

22. Perform a Service Regeneration

Note: This test must be performed through the electronic service tool. The electronic service tool enhances the diagnostics during the service test.

A. Start a "service regeneration" by selecting the following menus on the electronic service tool:
· "Service"
· "Service Procedures"
· "Manual DPF Regeneration"

The electronic service tool will display a "Waiting On Requirements" window. The ECM will automatically elevate the engine speed.

The duration of the regeneration depends on the soot load in the diesel particulate filter. The ECM will automatically return the engine speed to low idle after the regeneration is complete.
 

Service regeneration
 

Result: The manual DPF regeneration does not complete successfully.

Repair: Troubleshoot diagnostic codes that became active during the "service regeneration".

Result: The manual DPF regeneration completes successfully.

Return the unit to service.

If the fault is still present, contact the Dealer Solutions Network (DSN).
