Cummins fault code 686 is the Cummins ISX11.9 CM2250 diagnostic document for the turbocharger 1 speed sensor circuit, logged as SPN 103, FMI 2 with a amber lamp. There is no effect on performance because the ECM substitutes an estimated turbocharger speed while the fault is active. The turbocharger speed sensor is a variable reluctance sensor mounted in the turbocharger center housing; the code sets when the ECM detects an invalid or physically impossible speed signal.
