Cummins fault code 2637 overview
Cummins defines this code as “CATALYST FACE PLUGGED – ROOT CAUSE NOT KNOWN” on the Aftertreatment System. This fault code is set when the inlet face of the diesel oxidation catalyst is detected to be plugged with soot. The aftertreatment system is monitored by three temperature sensors that are located in the exhaust system. The temperature sensors around the aftertreatment diesel oxidation catalyst are used to monitor the temperature differential across the catalyst during active regeneration of the aftertreatment system.
According to the shop talk notes, possible causes include:
- Engine oil or fuel plugging the front face of the aftertreatment diesel oxidation catalyst.
