Cummins ISM code 1962 troubleshooting steps
The variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) is electronically activated by the VGT actuator. The VGT actuator is a smart device and receives information via the J1939 datalink from the primary engine electronic control module (ECM). The VGT actuator performs its own diagnostics and reports failures back to the primary engine ECM using the J1939 datalink. The troubleshooting routine walks through key-on diagnostic-tool checks, inspection of the VGT actuator, and verifying that the fault goes inactive after the repair. The sheet reports fault code 1962 with SPN 641, FMI 0/15 and an amber lamp so the technician can confirm the right diagnostic tree.

Heavy-duty truck technicians and workshop owners diagnosing the VGT actuator on Cummins ISM CM871 engines need this reference. It documents the fault code 1962 conditions, likely causes and the checks required to close the repair correctly the first time.
