This file is written for Cummins CM2250 engine diagnostics and is listed under ISB6.7 CM2250, while the extract also names ISX11.9 CM2250, ISC8.3 and ISL9 CM2250, ISX15 CM2250, QSL9 CM2250, and QSB6.7 CM2250 in the associated procedures. The fault relates to the water-in-fuel sensor integrated into the bottom of the OEM supplied suction fuel filter, where water accumulation pulls the 5-VDC reference voltage to ground and causes the ECM to report SPN 97, FMI 0/15, with a maintenance lamp indication.
