Cummins L9 SCR 2018-2021: OEM 5418548

Engine-Specific NOx Control Module for Cummins L9 Engines (2018–2021)

What is it?
The Cummins L9 SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) assembly with OEM part number 5418548 is a key emissions aftertreatment component for Cummins L9 diesel engines produced between 2018 and 2021. Working alongside Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), this unit supports the chemical conversion of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust into nitrogen and water before the gases exit the system, helping the vehicle maintain emissions compliance.

Why choose this SCR Assembly?
Manufactured to meet Cummins’ original specifications for the L9 platform, this SCR unit ensures proper fit and dependable interaction with DEF dosing hardware, sensors, and engine control systems. Over time, SCR components can degrade due to age, contamination, or extended use, which can reduce NOx conversion effectiveness and trigger emissions system alerts. Installing the correct OEM-specified assembly helps sustain consistent emissions control and smoother aftertreatment performance.

Key Benefits
✅ Designed specifically for Cummins L9 aftertreatment systems (2018–2021)
✅ Supports effective NOx conversion with DEF interaction
✅ Helps maintain coordinated operation with emissions sensors and controls
✅ Direct-fit replacement — no modifications needed
✅ Built for heavy-duty exhaust environments

Applications
This SCR assembly is suited for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles equipped with Cummins L9 engines manufactured between 2018 and 2021. It’s commonly found in delivery fleets, vocational trucks, regional transport rigs, and other commercial platforms where dependable emissions performance and regulatory compliance are part of daily operation.

Installation Notes
Before servicing, ensure the exhaust and aftertreatment system has fully cooled. Remove the existing SCR module and inspect nearby DEF lines, sensors, and mounting hardware for signs of wear, soot buildup, or damage. Install the replacement SCR assembly using proper seals and fasteners to ensure a secure, leak-free fit. After installation, clear any stored system codes and verify correct SCR behavior through diagnostic checks.

Final Thoughts
If your Cummins L9-powered vehicle is showing emissions warnings, uneven NOx readings, or inconsistent aftertreatment behavior, replacing the SCR assembly with the correct OEM-specified part can help restore balanced emissions control. The Cummins L9 SCR (OEM 5418548) plays an important role in managing regulated exhaust chemistry and supporting reliable vehicle operation across varied duty cycles.
