Aftertreatment Hydrocarbon Injector (AHI)
Troubleshooting Guide - US10+OBD13 And Newer
Emissions
System Overview
The Aftertreatment Hydrocarbon Injector (AHI) System is a component of
the Emissions Aftertreatment System (EATS) that monitors and controls
fuel injection into the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) to regenerate the
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). The system is made up of 3 primary
components: The AHI Module, Fuel and Air Lines, and the AHI Nozzle
(7th Injector).
AHI Module
Component Overview
The AHI Module for model year 2017 and newer trucks is mounted to the
fuel filter housing. In older vehicles, it was mounted to the side of the
engine block
. Despite the different configuration, the functionality is the
same and the module's primary job is to control the amount of fuel and air
to the nozzle.
There are 3 primary failure modes of the AHI Module (Dosing Block):
Contaminated Air Supply
Contaminated Fuel Supply
Electrical Circuit Fault
Any AHI Module failure from air or fuel is primarily due to system
contamination. The AHI module is susceptible to debris and oil from the
upstream systems. It is imperative that when replacing the AHI Module
that the fuel and air system are adequately evaluated.
Diagnosis and Repair
• Perform a DTC Readout using Premium Tech Tool. Use the below fault
tables to aid in diagnosing AHI system and the root cause of the failure.

Rules for Replacement
Warranty will only cover replacement of the AHI Module if one of the fault
codes in the Yellow sections above is active or confirmed. If the AHI
Module is suspected to have failed with no codes present, an eService
case is required for further evaluation.
In addition, if the AHI module is being replaced. Maintenance records will
be required showing the fuel filters and air dryer/filter have been properly
maintained and are not the root cause of the failure.
The Air dryer / filters and Fuel Filters are all consumables. These
components will be denied on a warranty claim unless they have been
properly maintained. Refer to Service At a Glance (SAG) found in the
Trucks Dealer Portal under the Information tab - Service - Service
literature for replacement guides.
Standard Diagnostic Time for AHI Module is 1.5 hours.
AHI Nozzle
Component Overview
The AHI Nozzle (also called the 7th injector) is mounted on the diffuser
located directly on the outlet of the turbocharger turbine housing. The 7th
injector atomizes fuel going into the exhaust stream. Some versions of
the nozzle also regulate the amount of fuel being injected.

tip. A complaint of failed regens or constant request of regen is a
common associated complaint. If the AHI Nozzle is clogged, it will either
not inject a sufficient amount of fuel into the exhaust, or it will not properly
atomize the fuel to distribute it evenly throughout the DOC. Both of these
conditions will not produce the required temperatures for a successful
regen.
There have been a few different Types of AHI Nozzle over the past
several years. Use the table below as a guide along with Impact parts
information to ensure the proper Nozzle is installed on the vehicle.

currently required for replacement.
Diagnosis and Repair
• Check the Adaptive Factor for the AHI system by using operation 254508-03-02 Exhaust Aftertreatment Diagnostics, Options C in Premium
Tech Tool.
- If the Adaptive Factor is higher than 1.2:
○ Replace the AHI Nozzle
○ Reset the Adaptive Factor using the option in PTT
○ Run a Service Regeneration. Ensure that the temperature
graph looks similar to the one in the image below.
- If the Adaptive Factor is lower that 1.2:
○ The AHI nozzle is NOT the likely cause of the failed
regeneration. Symptom Based Diagnostics in PTT should be
followed from this point.

Rules for Replacement
The AHI Nozzle is a maintenance item that requires replacement at 150K
Miles/4500 hrs in accordance with SAG documentation. The AHI Nozzle will
be denied on a warranty claim unless proof of proper maintenance is
provided.
Standard Diagnostic Time for the AHI Nozzle is 1.4 hours
Fuel and Air Lines
Component Overview
These lines run from the AHI Module to the Nozzle and are two-piece
metal lines. With start of production 2017 these lines have a limited
serviceability (3 times only) that are marked with plastic clips.
The primary failure mode of these lines is leaking (fuel/air) at the points of
connection. Because of the atomized fuel and air this leaking may not be easily
noticeable.
2017 VGT Engine
2017 TC Engine
Diagnosis and Repair
These lines are only to be tightened 3 times before
they require replacement. This applies to both connection points of the
; Live
linesUI(AHI Module and AHI Nozzle). When new, two plastic C-clips are
installed on each of the lines. Each time a line is removed and rehttps://volvo-trkna-prod1.pegacloud.net/prweb/PRAuth/app/VolvoKM_/iNPUIKpeinqPJi2G0hH930k43USdE1gb*/!TABTHREAD5?pyActivity=%40basec…

left on the line it should be replaced with a new one.
Lines are to be torqued in accordance with the table below.
NOTE: It is extremely important to follow proper torque to reduce
premature line failure.
