This code 144 DTCs document is a troubleshooting procedure for the Engine Coolant Temperature 1 Sensor Circuit on Cummins ISB, ISC, and ISL engines. It explains the voltage-above-normal or short-to-high-source fault, the ECM response, inspection points, sensor resistance checks, harness tests, and fault clearing steps.

Applicable truck models
This file applies to Cummins ISB6.7 CM2150 engines from the 2007-09 group and also names ISB, ISC, and ISL engines in the Engine Coolant Temperature 1 Sensor Circuit section. The procedure is aimed at engines where Fault Code: 144, PID: P110, SPN: 110, FMI: 3/3 is active or inactive, with an amber lamp and possible white smoke, fan operation commanded ON if ECM controlled, and no engine protection for coolant temperature. For manufacturer information, visit the official Cummins website.
Who needs this code 144 DTCs manual
Workshop technicians, fleet mechanics, and diagnostic tool users need this manual when testing a coolant temperature sensor circuit that shows high signal voltage, an open circuit, or a possible short to a voltage source. The steps use INSITE™ electronic service tool checks, multimeter resistance measurements, connector inspection, ECM response testing, and engine harness open-circuit or pin-to-pin short checks.
The document states that the coolant temperature sensor is a variable resistor sensor on the thermostat housing, supplied with 5 volts by the ECM. It gives the active-code threshold as coolant temperature signal voltage greater than 5.13-VDC for more than 1 second, then directs the user through sensor resistance range verification, connector pin condition, shared return wiring concerns, and ECM connector tests before clearing inactive fault codes.
