The M11 code 131 IVS sheet documents the accelerator position sensor circuit (PID P091, SPN 91, FMI 3) on Cummins CELECT engines built from 1990 to 1994. This 7-page reference drives a technician through the circuit description, accelerator position sensor location, and the pin-by-pin checks needed to turn the red lamp off.

Applicable truck models
This procedure applies to Cummins M11 CELECT engines built from 1990 to 1994 and shares the accelerator position sensor logic used on N14 CELECT engines of the same era. It is a fault-code troubleshooting sheet from the CELECT diagnostic set (SRT 00-084), not a full engine manual, so confirm exact wiring and part numbers against factory data on the official Cummins website before replacing any component.
M11 code 131 IVS diagnostic steps
Inspect the OEM harness at the accelerator position sensor, then confirm continuity from ECM pins 11, 18, and 19 to the sensor (less than 10 ohms). Measure supply-to-return resistance (2000 to 3000 ohms) and supply-to-signal resistance (released 1500 to 3000 ohms, depressed 200 to 1500 ohms) with idle-validation repair connector Part Number 3823255. Verify short-circuit isolation above 100k ohms, use jumper Part Number 3822917 between pins 11 and 19 to check ECM response, then recalibrate the pedal three times with the key on.
Who needs this M11 code 131 IVS manual
This idle-validation-switch variant helps technicians confirm whether an FMI 3 accelerator signal fault lies in the pedal, the OEM harness, or the ECM, following the same fixed test order used across the CELECT accelerator codes.
