Applicable truck models
This file applies to Cummins CM2250 engine families listed in the procedure tables, including ISB6.7 CM2250, ISC8.3 and ISL9 CM2250, ISX15 CM2250, ISX11.9 CM2250, QSL9 CM2250, and QSB6.7 CM2250. The diagnostic centers on sensor supply 6, which is located in the ECM and provides a 5 volt supply to the fuel rail pressure sensor only. The procedure uses INSITE™ electronic service tool checks, fuel rail pressure sensor connector inspection, ECM connector inspection, engine wiring harness checks, calibration review, and fault clearing validation. More engine and service information is available from Cummins official website.
