Cummins fault code 2449 is documented on this DiagTechPro library page for Cummins ISM CM871 (2007-09) engines, where it flags a VGT Actuator Controller – Out Of Calibration condition (PID S027, SPN 641, FMI 13/13, Red lamp). This 5-page PDF reproduces the manufacturer description, shop talk, component location and step-by-step troubleshooting so technicians can confirm and clear the code.
Cummins fault code 2449 overview
Cummins defines this code as “VGT ACTUATOR CONTROLLER – OUT OF CALIBRATION” on the VGT Actuator Circuit. The variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) is electronically activated by the VGT actuator. The VGT actuator is a smart device that receives information via the J1939 data link from the primary engine electronic control module (ECM). The VGT actuator performs its own diagnostics and reports errors back to the primary engine ECM using the J1939 data link.
The document’s shop talk section highlights the following:
- If the turbocharger actuator has just been replaced and this fault code is.
- Foreign material in the VGT turbocharger can prevent the sliding nozzle.
