Applicable truck models
The extracted procedure applies to Cummins electronic engine platforms named in the document, including ISX11.9 CM2250 and ISX15 CM2250 in the fault heading, plus associated procedure coverage for GX CM2250, ISM11 CM876 SN, and ISZ13 CM2150. The file listing also identifies ISB6.7 CM2250 (2010-12) / DTCs, but the sampled diagnostic pages repeatedly reference Fault Code 212 for Engine Oil Temperature Sensor 1 Circuit and related Cummins ECM, harness, sensor, and calibration procedures.

Who needs this oil temperature sensor DTCs manual
This manual is for technicians diagnosing an active or inactive Fault Code 212 with INSITE™ electronic service tool, especially when the ECM reports high signal voltage or an open circuit in the engine oil temperature circuit. It is also useful for workshop owners checking whether a job involves sensor replacement, connector repair, engine harness repair, ECM calibration, or possible ECM authorization.
The diagnostic sequence starts with fault code status, then moves to sensor connector inspection, sensor resistance measurement between 180 ohms to 160k ohms, and verification after reconnecting the sensor. Later steps inspect ECM and engine harness connector pins, check whether Fault Code 213 becomes active while Fault Code 212 becomes inactive, measure return and signal circuit resistance, and test for pin-to-pin shorts above 100k ohms. The oil temperature sensor DTCs procedure also notes that an open shared return wire can cause multiple active fault codes.
