What Cummins code 5175 means

Another module on the datalink is sending the ECM a value for Aftertreatment 1 Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank Level 2 that is flagged as an error or is out of the valid range. The sensor may be fine; the fault points at the module that broadcasts the value or at the datalink wiring.

It lights the amber CHECK ENGINE (warning) lamp. The engine keeps running, but a torque or speed derate may apply depending on the calibration and on how long the fault stays active.

On a generic J1939 scan tool, or on the dash of a Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt, International or Volvo chassis, the same fault is shown as SPN 3517 FMI 19 rather than as Cummins code 5175. Cummins INSITE and Calterm show the Cummins number, the SPN / FMI pair and the lamp together.

This is an emissions-system code. If the component it refers to has been removed or unplugged (DPF, EGR, SCR / DEF or NOx sensor delete) the code will keep returning and the derate with it, however many times it is cleared, because the diagnostic is still enabled in the calibration. The lasting fix in that case is to disable the fault in the .xcal itself.

J1939 failure mode identifiers (FMI)

FMI 19 is highlighted. The FMI is the second half of every J1939 fault and tells you how the component failed; the SPN tells you which component.

Questions about code 5175

What does Cummins fault code 5175 mean?

Cummins 5175 is "Aftertreatment 1 Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank Level 2 - Received Network Data in Error". It maps to SPN 3517 FMI 19. Another module on the datalink is sending the ECM a value for Aftertreatment 1 Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank Level 2 that is flagged as an error or is out of the valid range. The sensor may be fine; the fault points at the module that broadcasts the value or at

Which lamp does fault code 5175 turn on?

Amber WARNING lamp: It lights the amber CHECK ENGINE (warning) lamp. The engine keeps running, but a torque or speed derate may apply depending on the calibration and on how long the fault stays active.

How do I clear or permanently delete Cummins code 5175?

An active code goes inactive on its own once the condition is gone; the inactive record stays in the ECM fault history until it is cleared with Cummins INSITE (or a J1939 tool that supports the DM3 / DM11 clear). If the code keeps coming back because the part is gone, disconnected or not worth repairing, the lasting fix is to disable fault 5175 in the calibration: upload your .xcal to the ECFG Superstore file service, custom DTC delete from $150 (up to 30 codes), full DPF / EGR / SCR delete $500, and flash the returned file with Calterm or INSITE.
