Cummins M11 code 442 diagnosis

The ECM receives unswitched battery input through the actuator harness, protected by two in-line 15 Amp fuses that keep the engine harness from overheating; the battery return wires connect directly to the negative battery post. Shop talk directs the technician to disconnect all aftermarket devices from the battery supply circuit and confirm that the correct 15 Amp fuses are fitted. Troubleshooting begins by reading codes with Compulink, Echek, or diagnostic tool part number 3824638, confirming Fault Code 111 is inactive, then measuring battery voltage across the pins of the 3-pin power connector on the actuator harness.
