It will be necessary to choose a location for mounting the heavy-duty Centinel™ control module. Location of the Centinel™ control module should provide visibility of the diagnostic lamps to operators and maintenance personnel.

Recommended locations include:

  • Inside the cab
  • On the frame rail
  • On the rear of the cab.

NOTE: Do not mount the Heavy-Duty Centinel™ control module
under the hood or in the engine compartment. The Centinel™ control module is not designed (or covered by warranty) for engine compartment temperatures.

NOTE: Complete the installation of the wiring harness before using p-clamps or tie wraps to secure the wiring harness from rubbing.

Locate and remove the Centinel™ wiring harness from the package.

NOTE: When connecting the harness to the Centinel™ control module, verify that the connector locks are engaged.

Install the 12-pin connector to the Centinel™ control module.

Locate the three oil monitoring plugs in the package. Only
one of the plugs will be installed, depending on the type of oil to be used in the engine.

  1. Standard oil monitoring plug – white wire
  2. Advanced oil monitor plug – black wire
  3. Service plug – red wire.

NOTE: The service plug is used to place the installed Centinel™ system into service and to reset the system after an oil change.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


Remove the cover from the oil monitoring plug on the Centinel™
wiring harness and install the appropriate calibration plug.

Install the appropriate calibration plug.

Drill a 1/4-inch hole in a location on the firewall of the engine compartment.

Install the grommet provided in the kit and route the wires through it and into the cab.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


For engines that do not have a 6-pin datalink connector by the ECM, it is necessary to install two wires for the datalink inside the cab. These wires will be spliced into the J1587 datalink connector. These will be the same wires that are routed to the datalink, usually located under the dashboard. Locate the wires that lead to this connector and connect as specified in the following table:

Signal 8-Pin Connector 6-Pin Connector 2-Pin Connector
Datalink (+) Pin 1 Pin A Pin A
Datalink (-) Pin 2 Pin B Pin B

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


Splice the wires using the above table as a reference (polarity).

Butt splices are designed to provide the best possible cold joint connection when properly crimped.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


 CAUTION 

Overheating of the butt splice can lead to wire damage.

Butt splices also provide protection against corrosion. After crimping the connection, heat the shrink tube with a heat gun until the shrink tube has sealed the joint.

Burn-Only, QSK45 and QSK60 Engines


Install the Centinel™ jumper harness between the engine harness
(6-pin connector) and the control valve solenoid (2-pin connector).

Verify that the connector locks are engaged.

NOTE: For burn-only, pins 23 and 30 of the 31-pin OEM connector must be jumped to simulate adequate oil is available in the make-up tank, even though there is no make-up tank.

NOTE: Make a jumper wire by splicing the appropriate female socket connectors, Part Number 3822921, to a number 16 gauge wire. Cummins Part Number 3822921 is a common repair item found in the Cummins harness repair kit(s).

Disconnect the 31-pin OEM connector. Locate pin locations 23 and 30 and remove their cavity plugs.

Install the two female sockets of the jumper wire into pins 23 and 30.

NOTE: Make certain the sockets “snap” securely into place.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


Connect the 31-pin OEM connector making certain the connector is securely locked in place.

Use provided tie wraps to secure the remainder of the oil make-up level sensor leads to avoid chafing and making certain there is no stress applied to the pin sockets.
