Cummins fault code 2879 overview
This fault code checks for errors in the aftertreatment fuel injection system, detecting fuel leaks and failures of the aftertreatment fuel injector, fuel shutoff valve, and fuel drain valve. At every start the ECM runs a pressure test through the drain valve, shutoff valve, and injector. Verify the ECM calibration is correct.
The document lists possible causes including:
- An internal or external leak in the aftertreatment fuel drain valve
- An internal or external leak in the aftertreatment fuel injector
- Loose fittings or external leaks in the aftertreatment fuel system
- A third-party aftertreatment fuel shutoff valve manifold
- A plugged fuel filter
