Cause Correction

Electronic fault codes active or high counts of inactive fault codes

Refer to Section TF in the Troubleshooting and Repair Manual, CM870 Electronic Control System, Signature™ and ISX Engines, Bulletin
4021334, or the Troubleshooting and Repair Manual Electronic Control System Signature, ISX and QSX15 Engines, Bulletin
3666259, or Troubleshooting and Repair Manual, Power Generation Control Systems QSX15, QSK23, QSK45, QSK60, QSK78, and QST30 Series Engines, Bulletin

Cruise control/PTO on/off switch or circuit is malfunctioning

Check the cruise control/PTO on/off switch and the circuit. Refer to Procedures

Electronic control module (ECM) calibration is malfunctioning

Verify the ECM calibration is correct. Check the calibration revision history for applicable fixes to the calibration stored in the ECM. Refer to the calibration history spreadsheet Click here to see ecm_calibration_rev_history.xls

on QuickServe™ Online or the INCAL™ CD-ROM. Compare the calibration stored in the ECM with the engine rating and Control Parts List (CPL), Bulletin 4021326 or 4021327. If necessary, calibrate the ECM. Refer to Procedure
019-032 in Section 19 in the Troubleshooting and Repair Manual, CM870 Electronic Control System, Signature™ and ISX Engines, Bulletin 4021334, or ISX Fuel System Troubleshooting and Repair Manual, Bulletin 3666259, or Procedure
019-032 in Section 19 in Troubleshooting and Repair Manual, Power Generation Control Systems QSX15, QSK23, QSK45, QSK60, QSK78, and QST30 Series Engines, Bulletin 4021419.

 

Engine is operating in a unique application with a specific calibration

Check the Performance Options of the calibration stored in the electronic control module (ECM). Use INSITE™ electronic service tool and INCAL™ Calibration DVD_ROM to check the Performance Options section for the specific calibration under Calibration Selection. If the Performance Option reads “Vacuum Truck”, the condition may be normal. A slight oscillation/surging of the engine speed during unloaded PTO is a normal consequence of these unique calibrations.

 

Engine position sensor (EPS) or circuit is malfunctioning

Check the engine position sensor and circuit. Refer to Procedure
019-363 in Section 19 in the Troubleshooting and Repair Manual, CM870 Electronic Control System, Signature™ and ISX Engines, Bulletin 4021334, or Procedure
019-038 in Section 19 in the Troubleshooting and Repair Manual Electronic Control System Signature™, ISX and QSX15 Engines Bulletin 3666259, or Procedure
019-038 in Section 19 in the Troubleshooting and Repair Manual, Power Generation Control Systems QSX15, QSK23, QSK45, QSK60, QSK78, and QST30 Series Engines, Bulletin 4021419.

 

Engine speed surges while in the normal operating range and not in PTO or cruise control

Refer to the Engine Performance Troubleshooting Tree in Section TT.

 

Moisture in the wiring harness connectors

Dry the connectors with Cummins® electronic cleaner, Part Number 3824510.

 

Engine speed also surges at idle

Refer to the Engine Performance Troubleshooting Tree in Section TT.
