fault code 255 DTCs is documented on this DiagTechPro library page for Cummins ISM CM871 (2007-09) engines, where it flags a Engine Fuel Shutoff Valve Driver Circuit – Voltage Above Normal Or Shorted To High Source condition (PID S017, SPN 632, FMI 3/3, Amber lamp). This 5-page PDF reproduces the manufacturer description, shop talk, component location and step-by-step troubleshooting so technicians can confirm and clear the code.
fault code 255 DTCs overview
Cummins defines this code as “ENGINE FUEL SHUTOFF VALVE DRIVER CIRCUIT – VOLTAGE ABOVE NORMAL OR SHORTED TO HIGH SOURCE” on the Engine Fuel Shutoff Valve Driver Circuit. The fuel shutoff valve is a device used by the electronic control module (ECM) to control the engine fuel supply. When the ECM energizes the engine fuel shutoff valve driver circuit, the engine fuel shutoff valve is opened. Zero voltage to the engine fuel shutoff valve will close the engine fuel shutoff valve. The engine fuel shutoff valve driver circuit utilizes a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal. A PWM signal is a pulsed voltage signal between 0-VDC and system voltage.
According to the shop talk notes, possible causes include:
- Open circuit in the engine harness, connectors, or shutoff valve.
- Fuel shutoff valve signal wire shorted to a voltage source in the harness.
