Engine Dataplate

TOC

Automotive Applications


The engine dataplate shows important facts about your engine. The engine serial number and CPL provide data for ordering parts and service. The engine dataplate must not be changed unless approved by Cummins Inc.

The dataplate is located on the fuel pump side of the engine, on the rocker housing. Have the following engine data available when communicating with a Cummins® Authorized Repair Location. The following information on the dataplate is mandatory when sourcing service parts:

 
SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE

  1. Engine serial number
  2. Model
  3. Horsepower and rpm rating
  4. CPL
  5. Emission statement (if applicable).

ECM Dataplate

TOC

With CM870 and CM570


The CM870 is the primary electronic control module (ECM) for the engine.

The ECM dataplate is located on the front of the ECM.

The abbreviations on the dataplate are explained as follows:

  • P/N = part number
  • S/N = serial number
  • D/C = date code.
