Cummins X15 CM2450 X124B (2018 & Newer) Fault Code: 3936 PID: SPN: 5848 FMI: 12 Aftertreatment 1 SCR Intermediate NH3 Sensor- Bad Intelligent Device or Component

Circuit Description
The aftertreatment SCR intermediate NH3 (ammonia) sensor is a smart device that communicates with the engine control module via the J1939 data link. The aftertreatment intermediate NH3 sensor performs its own internal diagnostics and reports malfunctions back to the primary engine control module using the J1939 data link. The aftertreatment intermediate NH3 sensor is used to measure the ammonia in the aftertreatment system.

Component Location
The aftertreatment SCR intermediate NH3 sensor is located in the middle of the aftetreatment SCR catalyst.

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 aftertreatment SCR intermediate NH3 sensor reported an internal circuitry error of the aftertreatment SCR intermediate NH3 sensor module.

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.
