Cummins fault code 2635 overview
This fault code is logged when the ECM detects that an incorrect variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) actuator has been installed. The VGT actuator is a smart device that receives commands over the J1939 data link, runs its own diagnostics, and reports errors back to the primary engine ECM. Verify the ECM calibration is correct for the engine CPL.
The document lists possible causes including:
- An incorrect VGT actuator installed on the turbocharger
- An ECM code calibration voltage incorrect for the application (a 24-volt calibration in a 12-volt system)
