2012 Freightliner Cascadia codes again help. (2024)

FAQs

How do you check fault codes on a Freightliner Cascadia? ›

If the car's computer ever encounters a problem, a fault code or Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC), will be stored within the car's ECU memory. With a scanner plugged into the car's On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) port you can read the list of codes stored, and therefore find out what the problem is.

CHS 71 identifies your chassis control module. Cab 33 indicates your SAM module. The fault codes are going to be on the subsequent screen. Those code numbers are going to tell the technician or anyone what circuit has a problem within the chassis control module.

A CPC Module, or Common Powertrain Controller, is often referred to as the “brain” of a truck. It controls the truck's powertrain and other various engine functions. Without it, a vehicle is inoperable.

Plug an OBD-II scanner into your vehicle's OBD port and reset it to clear the check engine light. Disconnecting and reconnecting your battery will restart your vehicle's computer and clear the light. Drive an older vehicle around for a few days after repairs. The light will go off on its own once the computer resets.

Turn The Car Ignition On And Off Three Times

Another way to reset check engine light without tapping into effort-requiring techniques is restarting the car three times. Put the key in the ignition, turn it on and then off. The very next second, repeat the process. Repeat once more to complete three times in a row.

PDTCs, like DTCs, are codes generated by a vehicle's OBD system when it detects a problem. The primary difference lies in the manner in which they can be cleared. PDTCs are designed to stay in the system and can only be cleared once the vehicle's onboard computer confirms that the issue has been resolved.

This fault code is for your ambient temperature sensor circuit. You either have a problem with the wiring harness for that sensor or a failed sensor is most likely the cause.

SPN 1077/FMI 14 - GHG17

The Motor Control Module (MCM) monitors rail pressure during engine shut down and compares it to a stored learned value. If the bleed-down rate has changed due to leakage and it is below the learned value, this code will set.

What is code 111 on Freightliner Cascadia? ›

SPN 111/FMI 4

Description This Fault Sets when the Common Powertrain Controller (CPC) Detects that there is a Short to Ground on the Coolant Level Circuit or the Engine Coolant Level is Low.

It is advised to have the CPC repaired if you notice:

Your truck is experiencing a dead throttle, no-start, or internal failure, Check Engine Light is on, the ABS Light staying on, DEF Light staying on, and Instrument Cluster loses communication.

The PCM on a car is the power control module. It is the computerized central processing unit of your vehicle's system. It oversees the two main components of the powertrain (transmission and engine) and several other car components. The PCM acts based on data it gets from other sensors attached to it.

The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is the brain of a modern vehicle, responsible for managing and controlling various aspects of the engine's performance.

Reasons for these codes might include: A faulty catalytic converter. A failing oxygen sensor. Bad wiring to the oxygen sensor.

These codes are stored, for example, when a sensor in the car reports a reading that is outside a pre-defined range, e.g. fuel mixture too rich. The codes identify a particular problem area and are intended to provide the technician with a guide as to where a fault might be occurring within a car.
