Cummins ISX11.9 CM2250 – Service Manual 019-463   Aftertreatment Intake NOx Sensor

CAUTION  Exhaust catalyst will stay hot to touch for long periods of time after the engine has been switched off.

CAUTION  The NOx sensor will stay hot to touch for long periods of time after the engine has been switched off. The NOx sensor will also be hot if the engine keyswitch is on.

CAUTION  Do not underseal or coat/paint any part of the NOx sensor.

CAUTION  Wear goggles and protective clothing to reduce the possibility of personal injury.

The aftertreatment intake NOx sensor is located in the aftertreatment adapter pipe.

The NOx sensor is a one-piece unit made up of two parts, a small module with a wire connection to the metal sensor body that sits in the exhaust system. The parts must not be separated.

The NOx sensor is not serviceable. If malfunctioning, the part must be replaced.

WARNING  Batteries can emit explosive gases. To reduce the possibility of personal injury, always ventilate the compartment before servicing the batteries. To reduce the possibility of arcing, remove the negative (-) battery cable first and attach the negative (-) battery cable last.

• Disconnect the batteries. Refer to the OEM service manual.

Disconnect the push-fit connector from the NOx sensor module.

Remove the two retaining capscrews.

Remove the retaining nut and pull out the NOx sensor from the aftertreatment adapter pipe.

CAUTION  Do not clean the NOx sensor with any kind of fluid. Do not immerse the NOx sensor in water or any kind of chemical wash. Do not jet-wash or steam clean the NOx sensor.

Visually inspect the NOx sensor for damage to the wiring or the body of the sensor.

Visually inspect the tip of the NOx sensor for damage.

Apply a light coating of anti-seize compound, Part Number 3824879, to the threads of the NOx sensor.

Install the NOx sensor in to the aftertreatment adapter pipe and tighten the retaining nut.

Make sure the NOx sensor is connected to the engine wiring harness.

Make sure the orientation of the small module is with the engine wiring harness connection located at the bottom of the sensor.

Make sure the small module is secured to the application by the two mounting capscrews.

NOTE: The NOx sensor wire connection must not be pulled tight. Damage to the sensor can occur.

WARNING  Batteries can emit explosive gases. To reduce the possibility of personal injury, always ventilate the compartment before servicing the batteries. To reduce the possibility of arcing, remove the negative (-) battery cable first and attach the negative (-) battery cable last.

• Connect the batteries. Refer to the OEM service manual.
