Fault Code: 315 N14
PID: S002
SPN: 735
FMI: 6
LAMP: Yellow
SRT: 00-604
Current detected at number 2 injector return pin 14 of the actuator harness when voltage supply at pin 5 of the actuator harness connector is off. Engine speed derate to 1400 to 1600 rpm. Current to the injector is shut off.

Injector Circuit – Number 2

Circuit Description

The injector solenoid valves are actuated by the electronic control module (ECM) to control fuel metering and timing. Each injector solenoid is connected to the ECM by a supply wire and a return wire. An electrical pulse is sent to the injector from the ECM on the supply wire and returns to the ECM on the return wire after actuating the solenoid. Each solenoid valve is normally open, and it is only closed by an electrical pulse from the ECM during fuel injection and metering.

Component Location

The N14 has an external actuator harness. It extends from the C connector port in the ECM and runs along the left side of the rocker boxes. There it attaches to the pass-through connectors mounted in the side of each rocker box. The injector pigtail connectors are attached to the internal side of the pass-through connectors.

Cautions and Warnings

 WARNING 

 

The injector solenoids receive high voltage when the engine is operating. To reduce the possibility of personal injury from electrical shock, do not wear jewelry or damp clothing, and do not touch the injector solenoids or the solenoid wires when the engine is operating.

 CAUTION 

 

To reduce the possibility of pin and harness damage, use the following test lead when taking a measurement:
Part Number 3822758 – male Deutsch/AMP/Metri-Pack test lead.

 CAUTION 

 

To reduce the possibility of damaging a new ECM, all other active fault codes must be investigated prior to replacing the ECM.

Troubleshooting Steps

STEPS SPECIFICATIONS
STEP 1. Check the actuator harness.
STEP 1A. Inspect the harness and the ECM connector pins. No damaged pins
STEP 1B. Read the fault codes. Fault Code 315 active
STEP 1C. Check for a short circuit from pin to pin. More than 100k ohms
STEP 2. Check the ECM.
STEP 2A. Check the ECM response. Fault Code 315 inactive
STEP 3. Clear the fault codes.
STEP 3A. Disable the fault code. Fault Code 315 inactive
STEP 3B. Clear the inactive fault codes. All fault codes cleared


Guided Step 1 – Check the actuator harness.

 WARNING 

 

The injector solenoids receive high voltage when the engine is operating. To reduce the possibility of personal injury from electrical shock, do not wear jewelry or damp clothing, and do not touch the injector solenoids or the solenoid wires when the engine is operating.
 CAUTION 

 

To reduce the possibility of damaging a new ECM, all other active fault codes must be investigated prior to replacing the ECM.

Guided Step 1A – Inspect the harness and the ECM connector pins.

Conditions

  • Turn keyswitch OFF.
  • Disconnect the actuator harness connector from the ECM.

Action

  • Bent or broken pins
  • Pushed back or expanded pins
  • Corroded pins
  • Moisture in or on the connector
  • Missing or damaged seals.
OK NOT OK
No damaged pins Repair the damaged pins.

  • Flush the dirt, debris, or moisture from the connector pins using electronic contact cleaner, Part Number 3824510.
  • Repair the engine harness. Refer to Procedure 019-203.
  • Replace the engine harness. Refer to Procedure 019-043.
  • Replace the ECM. Refer to Procedure 019-031.
  • Replace the o-ring on the 28-pin connector if it is damaged or missing. Refer to Procedure 019-203.

Guided Step 1B – Read the fault codes.

Conditions

  • Turn keyswitch OFF.
  • Connect all components.

Action

  • Start the engine and let it idle for 1 minute.
  • Read the active fault codes using INSITE™.
OK NOT OK
Fault Code 315 active Repair complete.

 WARNING 

 

The injector solenoids receive high voltage when the engine is operating. To reduce the possibility of personal injury from electrical shock, do not wear jewelry or damp clothing, and do not touch the injector solenoids or the solenoid wires when the engine is operating.
 CAUTION 

 

To reduce the possibility of pin and harness damage, use the following test lead when taking a measurement:
Part Number 3822758 – male Deutsch/AMP/Metri-Pack test lead.

Guided Step 1C – Check for a short circuit from pin to pin.

Conditions

  • Turn keyswitch OFF.
  • Disconnect the actuator harness connector from the ECM.
  • Disconnect the actuator harness from the pass-through connector.

Action

  • Measure the resistance from pin 5 in the actuator harness connector to all other pins in the connector.
  • Measure the resistance from pin 14 in the actuator harness connector to all other pins in the connector.
OK NOT OK
More than 100k ohms Repair or replace the engine harness.

  • Repair the engine harness. Refer to Procedure 019-203.
  • Replace the engine harness. Refer to Procedure 019-043.


Guided Step 2 – Check the ECM.

 CAUTION 

 

To reduce the possibility of damaging a new ECM, all other active fault codes must be investigated prior to replacing the ECM.

Guided Step 2A – Check the ECM response.

Conditions

  • Turn keyswitch OFF.
  • Disconnect pins 5 and 14 of the actuator harness connector from the ECM.

Action

  • Start the engine and let it idle for 1 minute.
  • Read the active fault codes using INSITE™.
OK NOT OK
Fault Code 315 inactive Replace the ECM. Refer to Procedure 019-031.


Guided Step 3 – Clear the fault codes.

Guided Step 3A – Disable the fault code.

Conditions

  • Connect all components.

Action

  • Start the engine and let it idle for 1 minute.
  • Verify that Fault Code 315 is inactive.
OK NOT OK
Fault Code 315 inactive Return to troubleshooting steps or contact your nearest Cummins Authorized Repair Location if all steps have been completed and checked again.

Guided Step 3B – Clear the inactive fault codes.

Conditions

  • Connect all of the components.

Action

  • Erase the inactive fault codes using INSITE™.
OK NOT OK
All fault codes cleared Troubleshoot any remaining active fault codes.
