fault code 245 DTCs is documented on this DiagTechPro library page for Cummins ISM CM871 (2007-09) engines, where it flags a Fan Control Circuit – Voltage Below Normal Or Shorted To Low Source condition (PID S033, SPN 647, FMI 4/4, Amber 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.
fault code 245 DTCs overview
Cummins defines this code as “FAN CONTROL CIRCUIT – VOLTAGE BELOW NORMAL OR SHORTED TO LOW SOURCE” on the Fan Control Circuit. The fan control circuit is a device used by the engine to control the fan operation. When the electronic control module (ECM) energizes the fan control circuit, the engine fan is engaged. The fan control circuit utilizes a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal. A PWM signal is pulsed voltage signal between 0-VDC and system voltage. The frequency of the pulsed voltage signal is dependent on the application requirement. There are two types of fans supported by the fan control circuit; variable speed and ON/OFF. The diagnostic tool can be used to determine which fan type is currently set up for use. The fan control circuit varies by the OEM.
Shop talk notes: Verify the electronic control module (ECM) calibration is correct. If necessary, recalibrate the ECM. The fan control logic can be adjusted with the diagnostic tool.
