Applicable truck models

The procedure applies to Cummins CM2250 engine platforms listed in the document, including ISB6.7 CM2250, ISC8.3 and ISL9 CM2250, ISX15 CM2250, GX CM2250, ISX11.9 CM2250, QSL9 CM2250, and QSB6.7 CM2250. Component location is OEM-dependent because the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor is mounted on the diesel particulate filter, so the OEM service manual is referenced for exact location and connector identification. See the manufacturer information at Cummins official website.
