    I’m sure a lot of people have gotten this code before, and I wanted to know if it’s worth going thru all the trouble and most importantly money/time to get this fixed or if it’s better to start looking to sell the equipment and get another newer truck. I’ve got a 2015 Cascadia Evolution automatic smart shift, and it’s a great and convenient truck, but this nox problem I heard is notorious among these Detroit engines. I want to hear your thoughts.

    Thanks,
    LongHaul53

    Piece of black tape over the light,,,I'm sorry, people have called me a troll for comments like that, nothing could be further from the truth. I really have no idea and can't for the life of me understand why you people put up with that junk. I get "Truck Paper" notifications all the time, there was a '78 KW W900, day cab, 400 BC , 13, and air ride, in great shape, asking $15g's. Why would someone spend 10 times that for a modern POS?

    blairandgretchen Thanks this.

    Ya, it’s a catch all code for low NOx efficiency. It can be just about anything. I’ve had it since winter, mostly first thing on a Monday morning. I have Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link, so I can eliminate some of the steps without going to the dealer. One of the early steps it said to replace the outlet NOx sensor as it was reading low. But that didn’t help.
    I did notice if I did a forced Regen the code wouldn’t pop up for several weeks. Which could be an indication that I needed a DEF awning kit. My DPF filters I knew were coming up soon, so I waited a few months for when the Soot full code came up. Which was only just over a week ago. I had them install the DEF awning kit at the same time.
    I’ve only ran the truck for four days so far, but its been fine so far. But I’ll know for sure in about a month.
    If not, then the inlet NOx sensor is the next step. And so on, trading off the truck does get tempting at some point.

    Thanks for the input! Is DDDL the software they use at the dealer when they hook up the laptop to the truck? How did you obtain that and how can I get my hands on that?

    Try doing a parked regen. Clears that catchall code for me every ####### time, even if the DPF light never came on. I'm running in a company-issued 2016 Cascadia Evolution for the moment

    Thanks, I tried doing it, but it doesn’t let me. Good thing you don’t have to put up out of pocket cash for the repairs. Thinking about switching to company driver myself.

    The smartest thing you've said. Reason I said a 1978, is they were so simple, and a horse is a horse. Don't poo-poo the old KWhopper, it will be running long after that Freightliner has weeds growing through the frame. I know I'm no help. Good luck, it's just not how I'd want to spend my off time. I think it's terrible a 4 year old truck is giving you problems.

    FAQs

    Just got SPN 4364 FMI 18 code? ›

    SPN 4364 FMI 18 Causes

    What is the code SPN 4364 FMI 18? ›

    SPN 4364 FMI 18 is an engine error code related to the aftertreatment system of a diesel engine. It can indicate a variety of issues, ranging from a faulty NOx sensor to a malfunctioning DEF system. Symptoms include the illumination of the check engine light and potential engine derate mode.

    What is Freightliner ACM code 4364? ›

    Description This code sets when the Aftertreatment Control Module (ACM) detects that the Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) NOx Conversion efficiency is low.

    What is the code spn 4364 on a Volvo? ›

    The 4364 fault is for scr cat efficiency. This fault is present whenever the scr can not treat the nox levels. The very first thing is to check for any charge air leaks, check for any obvious ex or egr leaks. Make sure the engine does not have extended crank.

    What is the code FMI 31 on a Cummins SPN 4364? ›

    This fault code indicates that the nox emissions are not being reduced enough by the SCR catalyst. There are many possible causes for this fault code including: Degraded DEF fluid. A faulty SCR catalyst.

    What does SPN mean in fault codes? ›

    SPN stands for Suspected Parameter Number which tells you the circuit where the fault occurred. For example, if you had a SPN 1791 code, it would point to a fault detected in the EGR Valve Control Circuit. FMI stands for Failure Mode Indicator which tells you the reason the fault code was set.

    What does SPN mean in diagnostics? ›

    SPN stands for Suspect Parameter Number. It's a diagnostic trouble code that provides detailed information about specific faults detected by the vehicle's ECU, making it easier to identify and address issues within the vehicle's electronic systems.

    What is FMI 18 on Volvo SPN 94? ›

    This fault code is for low fuel delivery pressure during cranking. Replace your fuel filters and look for any fuel leaks or restrictions between the fuel tank and fuel pump. Low fuel pressure can also be caused by a faulty fuel pump, injectors,or pressure regulator.

    Where is downstream NOx sensor? ›

    A NOx sensor is placed in exhaust systems to observe nitrogen oxide (NOx) levels in the exhaust. On most systems, there are usually two NOx sensors. There is one right after the exhaust manifold and the second after the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system to monitor SCR efficiency.

    What is a NOx sensor module? ›

    An oxides of nitrogen sensor is used to monitor the levels of oxides of nitrogen that a vehicle emits to ensure it is compliant with emissions regulations. Oxides of nitrogen (otherwise known as NOx) are pollutants that have both environmental and health impacts.

    What is the FMI code? ›

    FAILURE MODE IDENTIFIERS (FMI) Now that we have defined MID (The component) and PID (types of data), we can talk about Failure Mode Identifiers (FMI). Every diagnostic trouble code (DTC) that you find will have an FMI.

    What is NOx conversion efficiency? ›

    SCR NOX conversion measures the efficiency of this process, calculated by the Engine Control Module (ECM) via inlet and outlet NOX sensor readings. High conversion rates signify effective emission reduction, while low rates indicate issues needing attention.

    What is FMI 18 on Volvo SPN 157? ›

    SPN#157, FMI#18 ― Fuel Pressure Lower Than Commanded Pressure.

    What is the NOx sensor behind the SCR catalyst? ›

    The sensor located upstream of the SCR catalyst directly measures the engine-out NOx gas concentration, which helps determine the optimum amount of urea injection. The NOx sensor downstream of the SCR catalyst is used to monitor the performance of the catalyst.

    What is a DPF NOx sensor? ›

    An oxides of nitrogen sensor is used to monitor the levels of oxides of nitrogen that a vehicle emits to ensure it is compliant with emissions regulations. Oxides of nitrogen (otherwise known as NOx) are pollutants that have both environmental and health impacts.

    What is fault code SPN 94 FMI 18? ›

    This fault code is for low fuel delivery pressure during cranking.

    What is the diagnostic code FMI? ›

    The FMI is used along with the SPN to provide specific information that relates to a diagnostic trouble code (DTC). The FMI may indicate that a problem with an electronic circuit or an electronic component has been detected. The FMI may also indicate that an abnormal operating condition has been detected.
