Applicable truck models
The extracted procedure identifies ISX11.9 CM2250 and ISX15 CM2250 engine models and covers the aftertreatment purge air actuator circuit used during active diesel particulate filter regeneration. It refers to associated service procedures for the Aftertreatment Fuel Shutoff Manifold, Aftertreatment Purge Air Actuator, and ECM Calibration Code, including Procedure 011-052, Procedure 011-065, and Procedure 019-032.

Who needs this fault code 3225 DTCs manual
This manual is for diesel technicians, fleet maintenance teams, and workshop owners diagnosing an aftertreatment purge air actuator fault that disables active DPF regeneration until the next key cycle. It is most useful when checking active related codes, vehicle air plumbing, shutoff valve manifold air flow, actuator response, and ECM calibration status with INSITE™.
The diagnostic flow starts by checking for active fault codes 1926, 1927, 1928, 3223, or 3224. It then directs the technician through actuator inspection, air supply checks, OEM plumbing leak or blockage inspection, and air flow testing from the aftertreatment fuel shutoff manifold air supply line. The document also states the expected result during the Aftertreatment Shutoff Valve and Injector Override test: air should flow continuously during the 60 second test. If air flow results identify a plugged or damaged shutoff manifold, the repair path points to replacement of that manifold; if the purge air actuator is stuck closed, the repair path points to actuator replacement. Final steps compare the ECM code and revision against calibration revision history, then run the required conditions to clear the fault.
