Cummins fault code 1718 is the Cummins Engine Misfire for Multiple Cylinders – Condition Exists document for the ISX11.9 CM2250 (2010-12) engine platform, a 8-page PDF that reproduces the official fault code write-up read with Cummins INSITE. An algorithm in the ECM calibration watches engine speed as each injector fires at idle to find cylinders that contribute too much or too little, and it is meant to help diagnose misfire and low-power complaints once coolant temperature is above 71 C [160 F].
