This file applies to Cummins electronic engines using the accelerator pedal position sensor circuit described in the procedure, with the file group identifying ISB6.7 CM2250 coverage. The extract also lists associated ECM calibration code procedures for ISF2.8 CM2220 E, ISF2.8 CM2220 AN, ISF3.8 CM2220 AN, ISB4.5, ISB6.7, ISD4.5, and ISD6.7 CM2150 SN, ISL8.9 CM2150 SN, ISM11 CM876 SN, ISZ13 CM2150, ISC8.3 and ISL9 CM2250, ISX15 CM2250, GX CM2250, ISX11.9 CM2250, QSL9 CM2250, and QSB6.7 CM2250. For vehicle-specific accelerator pedal location and wiring details, the procedure directs technicians to the OEM service manual and the circuit diagram or wiring diagram. Manufacturer information is available from Cummins official website.
Who needs this fault code 1242 DTCs manual
Workshop technicians need this file when the ECM detects accelerator position sensor number 1 and number 2 reading different values by more than 2 percent and the engine will only idle. It is also useful for diagnosing related active codes 131, 132, 1239, and 1241 before replacing a pedal, repairing connector pins, checking 4.75-VDC to 5.25-VDC sensor supply voltage, testing for greater than 100k ohms between pins, or reviewing ECM calibration with INSITE™ electronic service tool.
