Applicable truck models
This document applies to vehicles equipped with the Cummins ISX11.9 CM2250 or ISX15 CM2250 electronic engine platform. Fault Code 3716 (SPN 188, FMI 18) triggers when the ECM detects engine speed 50 rpm below governed idle speed for 30 seconds. The amber CHECK ENGINE lamp and/or MIL illuminates after the diagnostic fails on two consecutive trips. The guide references related Fault Codes 689 and 778 for crankshaft and camshaft position sensor inspection, plus ECM Calibration Procedure 019-032 (Bulletin 4022250 for ISX15, Bulletin 2883445 for ISX11.9). Diagnostics require INSITE™ electronic service tool for reading fault codes, monitoring engine speed, and performing calibration updates. Possible root causes listed include fuel system malfunction, crankshaft or camshaft position sensor malfunction, and increased engine accessory load from alternators, refrigerant pumps, hydraulic pumps, or air compressors.
