Questions crews ask
What does SPN 4765 mean?
Temperature going into the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), the part that heats the exhaust for a regen.
Can I keep running with SPN 4765?
Fix it today. Finish what's safe to finish, then fix it this shift. Ignoring it usually turns into a derate or a bigger repair. If the machine derates or the stop lamp is on, stop.
What should I check first for SPN 4765?
Check the sensor plug and wiring. Look for exhaust leaks at the turbo and pipes.
How do I clear SPN 4765?
Fix the cause first. Most codes go inactive by themselves once the condition is gone and the engine has run a key cycle or two. Clearing it with a service tool without a fix only hides it until it comes back.
Which machines show SPN 4765?
Any diesel that speaks SAE J1939: excavators, dozers, loaders, haul trucks, generators and on-road trucks with Cat, Cummins, Deere, Komatsu, Volvo, Kubota, Perkins and other engines. The SPN means the same thing on all of them; the fix steps can differ, so check the service manual.
