ISX11.9 CM2250/ISB6.7 CM2250/ISC8.3 and ISL9 CM2250/ISX15 CM2250 - Aftertreatment Diesel Exhaust Fluid
Controller Voltage Supply Circuit
Circuit Description:
The aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid controller is the central control for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) diesel
exhaust fluid dosing system, and handles the dosing activity, tank level sensing, tank temperature sensing, line
heating, and tank heating. The diesel exhaust fluid controller communicates to the engine control module (ECM) via
the J1939 data link connection.
Component Location:
The aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid controller is mounted to the DEF dosing unit.
The location of the hybrid system controller varies by application and OEM. The controller will typically be mounted to
the vehicle frame or suitable rigid bracket using capscrews. Refer to the OEM service manual for a more detailed
component location description.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active:
• The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp and/or the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) immediately
when the diagnostic runs and fails.
• Diesel exhaust fluid injection into the aftertreatment system is disabled.
Engine torque will be reduced if the engine is operated for an extended period of time with this fault active.
Engine torque will be severely reduced.
Vehicle speed will be limited to 8 km [5 mi] per hour after extended engine operation with the fault code active.
Shop Talk:
Possible causes of this fault code include:
Loss of battery voltage to the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid controller
Loss of battery ground to the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid controller
Loss of keyswitch input to the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid controller
Shorted or open J1939 data link wiring between the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid controller and the primary
engine ECM
Damaged aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid controller
Blown or missing fuses on the battery voltage or keyswitch inputs to the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid controller.
Fault Code 1713 causes the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid controller to go into "waiting to shutdown" mode, which
can cause Fault Code 3597 to become active. Troubleshoot Fault Code 1713 before troubleshooting Fault Code 3597.
Reference the appropriate OEM wiring diagram when troubleshooting circuits that utilize wiring supplied by the OEM.
For intermittent power supply and datalink communication issues with Aftertreatment Components, it is highly
recommended that the OEM Power Distribution Center fuses and relays be thoroughly checked for loose, missing or
intermittent connections.
