3837-17     E1170 (1)     Low Aftertreatment #1 Secondary Air Pressure     Air pressure to the combustion air valve is low.    
Follow the troubleshooting procedure in order to identify the root cause of the problem.    System OperationNote: The technician must perform an "ARD Air System Service Test" in order to verify that the problem is corrected. If the problem has been resolved, perform a manual DPF regeneration before the unit is returned to service.The A5:E2 aftertreatment controller is responsible for the control of many components on the CEM, including the combustion air valve. The A5:E2 aftertreatment controller communicates on the CAN data link to both the A4:E4 engine ECM and the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Control Unit (DCU). The A5:E2 aftertreatment controller receives inputs from the sensors on the CEM and on CAN from the other controllers. The A5:E2 aftertreatment controller uses these inputs to determine when and what position the combustion air valve should be opened.When the A5:E2 aftertreatment controller determines that the combustion air valve should be opened, the A5:E2 aftertreatment controller sends a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal to the valve. This PWM signal causes the valve to open. A position sensor located in the combustion air valve assembly then sends a signal back to the A5:E2 aftertreatment controller showing the actual position of the valve.
