Cummins Fault Code 1926, PID S332, SPN 3480 Aftertreatment Fuel Pressure Sensor – Data Erratic, Intermittent, or Incorrect

Cummins Fault Code 1926

Overview

Code

Fault Code: 1926

PID: S332

SPN: 3480

FMI: 2/2

LAMP: Amber

SRT:  

Reason

The ECM has detected that the aftertreatment fuel pressure signal is not changing with engine operating conditions.

Effect

Possible reduced engine performance

Cummins Fault Code 1926 1

Possible reduced engine performance

Circuit Description

The aftertreatment fuel pressure sensor is used to monitor the fuel pressure into the aftertreatment system. The engine control module (ECM) supplies the aftertreatment fuel pressure sensor a 5 volt reference voltage. When the fuel pressure is low, the sensor signal voltage is low. When the fuel pressure is high, the sensor signal voltage is near the 5 volt reference voltage. The ECM monitors the aftertreatment fuel pressure signal circuit voltage to calculate the pressure of the fuel within the aftertreatment system.

Component Location

The aftertreatment fuel injector is installed in the exhaust system in the turbocharger adapter pipe. The aftertreatment fuel pressure sensor and aftertreatment fuel shutoff valve are installed in the shutoff valve manifold. The aftertreatment purge air actuator is located above the shutoff valve manifold.

Conditions for Running the Diagnostics

This diagnostic runs during active regeneration of the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes

The Engine Control Module (ECM) detected the aftertreatment fuel pressure sensor was reading an erratic value, or the aftertreatment fuel pressure reading was not changing with the engine operating conditions.

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 for the aftertreatment fuel pressure sensor reading is used.

Active regeneration of the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter will be disabled unitl the next key cycle.

Engine torque will be reduced if the engine is operated for an extended period of time with this fault active.

Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code

  • To validate the repair, start the engine and perform the recommended Cummins electronic service tool or equivalent Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration Test.
  • 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

Possible causes of this fault code include:

A malfunctioning in-range aftertreatment fuel pressure sensor

A plugged fuel filter

A malfunctioning fuel pump gear pump.
