Title: VMSpc diagnostic events
Post by: Zach on March 01, 2024, 12:35:40 pm
Have some downtime currently and have been redesigning my VMSpc as well as going through settings. I went into my diagnostic events and found several. I'm hoping someone may have some information on what these mean. Frequent "Injector Cylinder" issues as well as others. Google doesn't provide much help. I don't notice issues, but maybe I'm naive to problems with the engine. Any ideas?

I've attached a screenshot of the most recent issues.

I think you have some wrong info as there is no heated oxygen sensor on diesel engines to my understanding.

Have you created an account with Cummins Quickserve Online?

You then have two options.  You can select "Symptom Search"  or in manuals go to "Fault Code Troubleshooting Manual" and click on the manual.  In the search box at the top, put in your code, press search manual.

I've been doing a bit more research on this topic as well as reading in to other's responses. And:

My engine is the ISM M11 450. I have selected the Engine Type in VMSpc as Cummins ISM (450).eng. I assume this is correct as I'm receiving all necessary information. Not sure what other I could put it in as other than the ISM11 420 hp.

Quickserve only seems to provide SPN code fault diagnostics. Most of the codes presented are SID and PID codes. This does not provide any information and I haven't a clue what the difference is.

It does seem to be throwing bazaar codes that shouldn't be thrown for this specific engine. There are codes for Cylinders 1-6 (IE, this engine has 6 cylinders...), so why is it throwing errors on cylinder 18 and 19?

There are also no CELs shown on the dash at any point, nor in the 'Recent Diagnostic Events' on VMSpc.

I'll continue to check the code history, but having some sort of knowledge from someone that knows what this means would be helpful.

Have you considered calling Silverleaf to see if they can help with the codes?

Before delving in further, do the timestamps on the faults correspond with anything - coincident with starting?  They could just be anomalous readings due to engine cranking.

can you take a raw log from the "advanced" menu and send it to me. I can take a look at the messages and see what's going on.
