What it means

Cummins' description: Pre-High Engine Temperature Warning Relay Driver Diagnostic has detected an error - Condition Exists.

SPN 4223 is Pre-High Engine Temperature Warning Relay Driver. FMI 31 means the ECM has confirmed the condition described in the code is happening.

These codes cover extra inputs and outputs the ECM controls or monitors: auxiliary temperature and pressure sensors, relays, lamps, and generator or equipment controls on off-highway and generator engines.

What the lamp means

An amber (yellow) warning lamp means the engine can usually keep running, but the fault should be repaired soon, ideally the same day.

How serious is it?

Green, yellow, red: three ways this can look

The same code can be a quick fix or a reason to shut down. Match your situation to the closest example.

Green

Keep an eye on it

An auxiliary code for an accessory that isn't used on your truck.

Yellow

Schedule a repair

An accessory, gauge or lamp not working with the code set. Fix the circuit when convenient.

Red

Stop and get help

The code is tied to a shutdown or protection relay. Have it checked before relying on that protection.

Common causes

The sensor reading itself is out of range or the condition is real, so look at the system:

  • Real reading from the equipment the input is monitoring

What you can check before calling

  • Find out what the auxiliary input is wired to on your truck or equipment
  • Check connectors and relays in that circuit

Clearing the code without fixing the cause usually brings it right back, and on emissions systems it can restart derate timers.
