Fault Code 3317

Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter Intake Temperature Sensor Circuit - Voltage Above
Normal or Shorted to High Source

CODES REASON EFFECT

Fault Code: 3317 Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve
PID(P), SID(S): Filter Intake Temperature Sensor operation will be disabled. Active
SPN: 3242 Circuit - Voltage Above Normal or aftertreatment diesel particulate filter
FMI: 3 Shorted to High Source. High regeneration will be disabled.
Lamp: Amber signal voltage or open circuit
SRT: detected at the aftertreatment
diesel particulate filter intake
temperature sensor circuit.

Circuit Description:
The aftertreatment temperature sensors are used by the ECM to monitor the engine exhaust temperatures in the
aftertreatment system. The aftertreatment temperature sensors are thermistors and change resistance based on the
temperature being measured. The ECM provides a 5 volt reference voltage to the sensor. The ECM monitors the
change in signal voltage and converts it to a temperature value.
When the exhaust temperature is low, the sensor or thermistor resistance is high. The ECM signal voltage only pulls
down a small amount through the sensor to ground. Therefore, the ECM senses a high signal voltage or low
temperature. When the exhaust gas temperature is high, the sensor resistance is low. The signal voltage pulls down a
large amount. Therefore, the ECM senses a low signal voltage or high temperature.

Component Location:
The aftertreatment diesel particulate filter intake temperature sensor is located in the aftertreatment system. It is
located at the outlet of the diesel oxidation catalyst and before the diesel particulate filter. Refer to the OEM service
manual.

Conditions for Running the Diagnostics:

This diagnostic runs continuously when the keyswitch is in the ON position and when the engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes:

The ECM detects that the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter intake temperature signal voltage is greater than 4.4-
VDC for more than 2 seconds.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active:

• The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.
• A default value for the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter intake temperature reading is used.
• Active and stationary regeneration of the diesel particulate filter will be disabled.
• The EGR valve will be closed.
• Engine torque will be reduced if the engine is operated for an extended period of time with this fault code active.

Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code:

• To validate the repair, start the engine and let it idle for 1 minute.
• The fault code status displayed by INSITE™ electronic service tool will change to INACTIVE immediately after the
diagnostic runs and passes.
• The ECM will turn the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp OFF after the diagnostic runs and passes.
• The "Reset All Faults" command in INSITE™ electronic service tool can be used to clear active and inactive fault
codes.

Shop Talk:
The diesel particulate filter intake temperature sensor shares return wires in the OEM harness with other sensors. A
shorted return can cause multiple fault codes to be active.
Possible causes of this fault code include:
• Open return circuit in the harness, connectors, or sensor
• Open signal circuit or shorted to a voltage source
• Malfunctioning aftertreatment diesel particulate filter temperature sensor interface module.
