This Cummins fault code 553 PDF is the official Fuel System Overfueling troubleshooting chart for the Cummins ISM CM570 (1999-02) engine platform, covering PID P157, SPN 157, FMI 0/16 and the Red warning lamp. It is a step-by-step diagnostic flow, not a general manual, and it takes a technician from symptom to confirmed repair on this specific code.
Cummins fault code 553 explained
The ECM opens the fueling actuators for a short time to pulse fuel to the injectors for combustion, and this code sets when the metered fuel is above what the ECM expected. The front fueling actuators are on the fuel delivery housing below the air inlet horn; the injectors are in the cylinder head under the valve cover. The ECM measures the metered fuel using the front rail pressure sensor, so the chart focuses on the fueling actuators and rail pressure signal.
