Applicable truck models
This procedure applies to Cummins ISB6.7 CM2150 engines from the 2007-09 file group, with the extract also naming ISB, ISC, and ISL aftertreatment differential pressure diagnostics. The aftertreatment diesel particulate filter is located in the exhaust system and installed by the OEM, so component location must be checked in the OEM service manual.

Who needs this Fault Code 1981 DTCs manual
Mechanics, fleet technicians, and workshop owners need this manual when an amber CHECK ENGINE light is linked to SPN 3936 FMI 0/15, high DPF differential pressure, disabled EGR operation, or disabled active and stationary regeneration. It supports decisions on INSITE™ checks, DPF cleaning or replacement, temperature sensor connector verification, exhaust smoke inspection, turbocharger sector gear inspection, and ECM calibration updates.
