Applicable truck models
This file applies to Cummins ISB6.7 CM2150 engines in the 2007-09 coverage group, and the extract also identifies ISB, ISC and ISL with CM2150 for the Engine Oil Level Sensor Circuit. The document is useful when Fault Code: 253, PID: P98, SPN: 98, FMI: 1 is present, meaning the engine oil level is data valid but below normal operational range at the most severe level. The procedure states that diagnostics run with the keyswitch ON and engine speed at 0 rpm, and that the oil level sensor is located on the engine oil dipstick on the air intake side. See official manufacturer support at Cummins.
