Overview

Code

Fault Code: 187

PID: S211

SPN: 3510

FMI: 4/4

LAMP: Amber

SRT:    

Reason

Low voltage detected at the sensor supply number 2 circuit.

Effect

Possible reduced engine performance.

Sensor Supply 2 Circuit

Circuit Description

The sensor supply 2 circuit of the engine control module (ECM) provides a 5 volt supply to various sensors on the engine harness. Refer to the wiring diagram for sensor supply identification.

Component Location

Sensor Supply 2 originates in the Engine Connector portion of the ECM. It supplies 5 volts to sensors in the engine wiring harness.

Conditions for Running the Diagnostics

This diagnostic runs continuously when the keyswitch is in the ON position or when the engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes

The Engine Control Module (ECM) detected the sensor supply 2 signal voltage was out of range low.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active

• The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp and/or the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.

A default value is used for all of the sensors on the sensor supply 2 circuit.

Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code

• To validate the repair, perform a key cycle, start the engine and let it idle for 1 minute.
• The fault code status displayed by the recommended Cummins electronic service tool or equivalent will change to INACTIVE immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
• The ECM will turn off the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
• For On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) engines, the ECM will extinguish the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) after three consecutive trips where the diagnostic runs and passes.
• The “Reset All Faults” command in the recommended Cummins electronic service tool or equivalent can be used to clear active and inactive faults, as well as extinguish the MIL for OBD applications.

Shop Talk

Low voltage on the +5 volt supply line can be caused by a short circuit to ground in a supply line, a short circuit between a supply line and a return line, a malfunctioning sensor, or a malfunctioning ECM power supply.
