ISB/ISBe Series Engines – 100-001   Engine Identification

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

If the engine dataplate (1) is not readable, the engine serial number (2) can be identified on the engine block, on top of the lubricating oil cooler housing. Additional engine information is available by reading the ECM dataplate.

The Cummins® engine nomenclature provides the data as illustrated in the graphic.

The electronic control module (ECM) dataplate shows information about your ECM and how the ECM was programmed. The dataplate is located on the ECM.

The following information is available on the ECM dataplate:

• ECM part number (PN)
• ECM serial number (SN)
• ECM date code (DC)
• Engine serial number (ESN)
• ECM code: Identifies the software in the ECM.

Have the ECM code for your engine available when communicating with a Cummins® Authorized Repair Location.

NOTE: The presence of an ECM dataplate depends on the manufacturing plant and the date the engine was manufactured. If an ECM dataplate was not installed by the manufacturing plant, calibration data can be found on the engine dataplate.
