Cummins fault code 556 is the Cummins ISX11.9 CM2250 diagnostic document for the crankcase pressure sensor circuit, logged as SPN 101, FMI 0/0 with a red lamp. The ECM illuminates the red lamp and reduces engine torque to protect the engine from excessive crankcase pressure. The crankcase pressure sensor is located near the crankcase ventilation filter; the code sets when crankcase pressure exceeds a calibrated value, indicating the crankcase breather filter requires maintenance.
