Cummins X15 CM2350 X116B Performance Series (2018 & Newer) Fault Code: 3577 PID: SPN: 4376 FMI: 3 Aftertreatment Diesel Exhaust Fluid Return Valve- Voltage Above Normal or Shorted to High Source

Circuit Description
The aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid return valve is controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM). The return valve position determines where diesel exhaust fluid will flow as it exits the dosing unit. When the return valve is activated, the dosing system will purge and return the diesel exhaust fluid in the lines to the tank.

Component Location
The aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid return valve is internal to the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid dosing unit and can not be serviced separately.

Conditions for Running the Diagnostics
This diagnostic runs continuously when the keyswitch is in the ON position or when the engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes
The Engine Control Module (ECM) detected the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid return valve circuit was out of range high or open.

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.
Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code
To validate the repair, perform a key cycle, 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 off the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
For On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) engines, the ECM will extinguish the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) after three consecutive trips where the diagnostic runs and passes.
The Reset All Faults command in INSITE™ electronic service tool can be used to clear active and inactive faults, as well as extinguish the MIL for OBD applications.

Shop Talk
If this fault is active, the dosing system may not be able to purge, which means there will be aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid left in the lines. Care must be taken when removing connections. Also, lines can freeze and the SCR system can become damaged in cold weather if the system is not properly purged.

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.

Possible Cause:
1) Aftertreatment DEF dosing unit failure
2) OEM harness
3) ECM calibration
