Who needs this Cummins 2636 troubleshooting DTCs manual
Workshop technicians, fleet mechanics, and diagnostic-tool users need this file when the red STOP ENGINE lamp or MIL is triggered and INSITE™ electronic service tool shows an active or high-count inactive Fault Code 2636. The procedure is useful for checking VGT actuator connector pins, battery voltage within 1-VDC of battery voltage, Electrical System Voltage parameter settings, open or short circuits, resistance values such as less than 10 ohms and greater than 100k ohms, 110 to 130 ohms terminating resistance, ECM calibration code status, and the final inactive-fault validation after one minute of idle operation.
