Cummins fault code 2881 overview
This fault code sets when the aftertreatment fuel pressure sensor reads below its normal operating range at the least severe level. The sensor monitors fuel pressure into the aftertreatment system on a 5-volt reference; low fuel pressure produces a low signal voltage. Verify the ECM calibration is correct and inspect the fuel supply.
The document lists possible causes including:
- Low fuel pressure detected in the aftertreatment fuel supply system
- On ISM engines, a plastic plug or “stringer” restricting the fuel rifle in the cylinder head
- A restricted aftertreatment fuel supply line
- Progressive aftertreatment damage that must be inspected after repair
