    I have a 2012 cascadia dd15 that is showing 2 fault codes which are:
    Fault codes
    eec 61 4364 fail 18
    545 25 spn 523318 fail 7
    I did some research couldn’t find anything on the 2nd code (545 25). But the first apparently has to do with the knox sensor. I was wondering if I can do a forced regen and reset the engine light (Solid orange one that doesn’t say check engine). Before it derates till i get home and have my mechanic take a look at it for me. And see of you guys have any idea what that first code can actually be. I also noticed that when it came on I had a loss of power. I have almost a dedicated route and today going on i 84 up hill I usually can go up that hill 8th gear (40 MPH) and today I went up 7th (25 MPH) on flat straight road I still can go my cap which is 77MPH. At the same time my engine doesn’t sound the same anymore it sounds a little muffled. I appreciate any advice you guys can give me. Thank you in advanced.

    So spn 4364 Is Nox Conversion efficiency low, will initially give you a 25% derate on the engine, this could happen for a few different reasons, anything from intake throttle control all the was to the egr system turbo and all could cause it. Most of the time people end up replacing NOX sensors and doing a regen this is how you verify the repair if everything is good or not if anything else is needed. you have to go step by step and see what the fault codes are active or inactive and how many times it has happened, need to check def and see if def quality is good a lot of time that is the problem as well. the other fault you have is for blower motor in the cab probably drawing to much current.

    So basically start at replacing the Nox sensor and do a regen and go from there? If I goto a TA can I have them do a forced regen so I can at least make it home?

    I don’t think that will work unless it fixed itself. It could derate u more if conversion efficiency is not how it’s supposed to be. Better take your chances of driving straight home. U can do a regen yourself did u try that.

    Putting the unit on a low temp ATD test will determine if your NOx sensors are working correctly or not. You will need to unplug the DEF doser also during this test.

    Those Cascadia blower motors fail, but are easy to replace. You can do it yourself. I think mine was $150 if I remember correctly.

    Here's a video...

    If you don't take care of that NOX error SOON ... you will derate to 5 mph. The first derate is 25% reduction in power, next is 55mph, then 5mph. DEF quality is rarely an issue, but the system"assumes" that if NOX conversion efficiency is down then it is either a bad sensor or bad DEF. DEF metering unit can go bad and cause this also.

    Much of this is dealer only stuff. I hope you find a dealer that knows that they are doing, some will just replace parts over and over until the problem goes away. Others have techs that can interpret the computer data and use their experience and solve the issue quickly and at the least cost.

    Also there are two NOX sensors, input and output, so you need to know which to try to replace. Usually end up doing both.

    FAQs

    What are SPN and FMI codes? ›

    SPN stands for Suspected Parameter Number which tells you the circuit where the fault occurred. For example, if you had a SPN 1791 code, it would point to a fault detected in the EGR Valve Control Circuit. FMI stands for Failure Mode Indicator which tells you the reason the fault code was set.

    What is the ecu 3 code for a freightliner? ›

    ECU three is an indication of a code within the transmission control module. This is not the actual fault code but the identifier of what circuit and control module a problem exists.

    What is code 3719 on dd15? ›

    Fault code 3719 is for high soot level.

    What is the FMI failure mode indicator? ›

    The FMI may indicate that a problem with an electronic circuit or an electronic component has been detected. The FMI may also indicate that an abnormal operating condition has been detected. The codes are displayed in the form “SPN – FMI”.

    How to read diagnostic trouble codes? ›

    The first character indicates the system or area of the vehicle where the problem is located. For example, “P” stands for powertrain, “C” for chassis, “B” for body, and “U” for network communication. The second character, usually a “0” or “1,” signifies whether the issue is generic (0) or manufacturer-specific (1).

    What are active fault codes? ›

    Active codes refer to current malfunctions that have tripped your check engine light. Pending codes refer to intermittent faults that the system needs to see happen in consecutive warm-up cycles to be considered active.

    What is the malfunction light on a Freightliner engine? ›

    Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)

    Indicates an engine emissions-related fault, including, but not limited to the aftertreatment system.

    What are the codes for a bad ECM? ›

    The most common trouble codes with the check engine light are:
    • Codes: P0171 through P0175 (sensing your oxygen levels)
    • Codes: P0300 through P0305 (engine misfires)
    • Codes: P0411, P0440, P0442, P0446, and P0455 (evaporative system)
    • Code: P0401 (exhaust gas recirculation)
    • Codes: P0420 and P0430 (catalytic converter)
    Nov 12, 2021

    Will a bad ECU throw a code? ›

    If one of the modules cannot communicate with the ECU, that module will set a diagnostic trouble code and turn on the check engine light. The computer will also turn on the check engine light itself, if it has an internal problem that is causing it to misinterpret data.

    What is the code for the PCM error? ›

    Code P0606 tends to be set when a PCM/ECM has failed. Depending on component condition and the make and model of a vehicle, it may be possible to resolve an internal integrity fault in the PCM/ECM by upgrading or re-flashing the control module.

    What is Cascadia Code 3251? ›

    SPN 3251/FMI 1 - GHG14

    This diagnostic is typically Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Pressure Out of Range Low. This fault code sets when the pressure across the DPF is less than 1.5 kPa (0.2 psi) for more than 10 seconds.

    What is Freightliner code 3599? ›

    SPN 3599/FMI 4

    Description This Code Sets When the Aftertreatment Control Module (ACM) Detects a Short to Ground on Pins 9, 15, or 39.

    What does spn mean? ›

    A service principal name (SPN) is a unique identifier of a service instance. Kerberos authentication uses SPNs to associate a service instance with a service sign-in account. Doing so allows a client application to request service authentication for an account even if the client doesn't have the account name.

    How do I know if my account has SPN? ›

    How to Check SPNs. Use the setspn -l hostname command at a command prompt to display a list of the SPNs that a computer has registered with Active Directory, where hostname is the actual hostname of the computer object you want to query.

    How do I know if my SPN is set? ›

    To see if you're using a proxy/VPN online, go to www.whatismyproxy.com. It will say if you're connected to a proxy or not. PC: Check under your WiFi settings, to see if there is a VPN/proxy showing up.

    What is SPN used for? ›

    The SPN is a unique identifier for the Network Controller service instance, which is used by Kerberos authentication to associate a service instance with a service login account. For more details, see Service Principal Names.
