• Replace the fuel hose if damage is found.
Injector (006-026)
Leak Test
This test checks for combustion gas leaks back through the injector rail check valve or other failure modes that will
allow leakage through the injector into the fuel rail.
When the engine is barred over, back pressure is created against the injector by the piston coming up on the
compression stroke.
During the test if the rail check valve fails and is leaking, air is pushed through the rail check valve and into the fuel
rail where pressure is sensed at the test fixture which is in place of the metering actuator. If a manometer is connected
to the test fixture, pressure will be measured as air escapes through the failed rail check valve. If a container of water
is used instead of a manometer, bubbles will be seen as air escapes through the failed rail check valve.
Injector Signature, ISX, and QSX15 Engi [...]
The overhead set marks on the damper are used to identify which cylinder is on the compression stroke and therefore
which injector has failed if a change in manometer pressure or bubbles are seen.
Verify the run-on after key-off complaint.
If the engine exhibits an excessive amount of run-on after
key-off (greater than 3 seconds), continue with this
procedure.
The complaint must be verified to continue the

troubleshooting.
Vary the operating conditions until the complaint of run-
on/slow shutdown can be reproduced.
Shut off the engine.

The fuel-metering actuators are the actuators located on

each end of the unit.
Remove the fuel-metering actuator for the front three
cylinders. Refer to Procedure 019-110 in the ISX Fuel

CAUTION
Use the engine barring device. Do not use the starting
motor to bar the engine during this test or engine
damage can result.
Bar the engine over while watching for bubbles in the
container.
The engine will need to be barred over two complete
revolutions to evaluate each bank.
There can be a few bubbles observed immediately before
reaching a timing mark. The failure indicator is if bubbles
occur for an extended duration between timing marks.
Note between which two timing marks the bubbles occur.

Determine the failed injector by following the diagram.
If bubbles occur between:
A and B the number 3 injector has failed
B and C then number 1 injector has failed
C and A then number 2 injector has failed.
Remove the mounting plate connected to the port for the

front three cylinders. Install the fuel-metering actuator
removed previously. Refer to Procedure 019-110 in the
ISX Fuel System Troubleshooting and Repair Manual,
Bulletin 3666259.

Leak Test
All Applications
It is important to leak test the oil cooler assembly as a unit
so leaks at the mounting joints can be identified. These
leaks can not be found when testing individual elements
that have been removed from the assembly. An element
is replaced only if it is found to be leaking.
This procedure is most effective when the oil cooler
assembly is tested in water below 7°C [44°F].
Use the mounting capscrews from the lubricating oil
cooler to attach the two plates and corresponding o-rings
from oil cooler leak test kit, Part Number 4918200, to the
lubricating oil cooler housing.
Remove the threaded male union that connects to the

turbocharger oil supply.
Install the threaded plug, Part Number 3089567.
Insert the o-ring from the oil filter into the filter head cap,
Part Number 4918204.
Use engine oil to lubricate the gasket surface and install
the filter head cap.
Attach air pressure regulator, Part Number 3164231, to

the outlet plate air fitting and pressurize the assembly to
689 kPa [100 psi].
WARNING
Place the oil cooler assembly under water.
If bubbles are observed, carefully determine the source of
the bubbles and replace the components as necessary.
If the element is suspected of leaking, refer to Procedure
007-007 for leak testing individual elements. Mounting
joint leaks are much more common than element leaks.
Do not replace components that do not leak.
If no leaks are found and the engine serial number is in
the range of 14023600 to 1405000 and 7900000 to
79012457, replace the capscrews and gaskets if the
elements are to be reused.
If no leaks are found and the engine serial number is not
in the above ranges the element does not get removed but
the capscrew torque is checked and tightened to the
specified torque.
Install
All Applications
WARNING
When installing a new two-element oil cooler on an older
engine, be sure the cooler element mounting capscrews
do not interfere with the cylinder block.

(007-013)
General Information
A combination oil filter is present on the engine. The upper
portion of the combination filter contains the full-flow filter
element while the lower portion contains the bypass filter
element.
The venturi design has been optimized to distribute oil
flow during normal engine operation; however during
extreme engine oil conditions (additive dropout,
contamination, soot etc.) the improvements increase the
overall filtration effectiveness.
Oil circulates through the full-flow portion of the filter, into
the oil cooler housing, and is directed to the engine oil
rifles.
A smaller portion of the oil circulates through the lower
bypass portion of the filter and is directed to the engine oil
rifles.
Lubricating Oil
Use Valvoline Premium Blue® 15W-40 multiviscosity oil,
or its equivalent, which meets CES 20071 and CES 20076
oil classifications for turbocharged engines.
Lubricating Oil Filter (Spin-On) Signature, ISX, and QSX15 Engi [...]
CAUTION
Limited use of oils such as 5W-30 or 10W-30 can aid
in starting the engine and providing sufficient oil flow
at ambient temperatures below -5°C [23°F]. However,
the continuous use of low-viscosity oils can decrease
engine life.

Lubricating Oil Filter Bypass Valve

(007-014)
General Information
Whenever the pressure drop across the lubricating oil
filter exceeds 862 kPa [125 psi], the oil filter bypass valve
opens and allows lubricating oil to bypass the lubricating

The cause of external oil leaks is hard to diagnose and correct because of the potential number of factors involved.
Although the location of a leak can sometimes seem obvious, it can also be difficult to isolate the exact location due
to fan blast and road grime that would cause the leak to migrate.
Before doing any repairs, it is important to locate the exact root cause of the leak to prevent misdiagnosis and further
downtime. Please use the diagrams below to troubleshoot any external oil leaks.
Begin by determining which quadrant of the engine the leak is located in. It will be necessary to start out by steam
cleaning the engine and then operating it on a dynamometer to look for the leak. Keep in mind where the oil looks the
most concentrated before the steam clean, as this will give a good indication of where to start looking for leaks.
Once the quadrant has been determined, look at the following diagram to get a good indication of where the leak can
be coming from on the exhaust side of the engine.
1. Lower front gear cover gasket leak 6. Oil spill from oil filter change
2. Gear housing gasket leak 7. Oil slobber from exhaust manifold
3. Oil pan gasket leak 8. Cam cover gaskets leaks
4. Flywheel housing gasket leak 9. Valve cover gasket leak
5. Lube cooler gasket leak

Centinel™ System (007-075)

General Information
NOTE: Fleetguard® Extended Service (ES™) System
lubrication oil and fuel filters are required with Centinel™.
These filters provide the filtration performance needed for
extended service intervals.
Centinel™ is an onboard continuous oil replenishment
system that operates as a function of fuel rate. The
Centinel™ valve is controlled by the ECM and is actuated
proportional to the amount of fuel consumed. The oil burn
rate has been designed for continued reliability and
durability of the engine. The continuous oil replenishment
process stabilizes engine oil quality and allows extended
oil and filter change intervals. The extended intervals are
a 844,907 km [525,000 mi] oil drain interval and 160,935
km [100,000 mi] oil filter change interval. The calibration
setting is a 0.33-percent blend rate. This rate uses 3.8
liters [1 gal] of oil for every 1136 liters [300 gal] of fuel
consumed (3.8/1136 = 1/300 = 0.33 percent).
The basic Centinel™ system can operate on vehicles
whose engines are equipped with either 12- or 24-VDC
electrical systems. Though the Centinel™ control valve
operates on 12-VDC, the valve is compatible with either
12- or 24-VDC engines because both engine ECMs (12- or
24-VDC) provide 12-VDC to the valve.
In addition to the valve and mounting hardware, it is
necessary to obtain an oil makeup tank and plumbing.
Tanks are available through Cummins Inc. with a capacity
between the high and low mark of 15.142 liter [4 gal], or
24.605 liters [6.5 gal].
Refer to Centinel™ Master Repair Manual, Bulletin
3666231, for detailed repair procedures on Centinel™
equipped engines.

Adjust
Belt drive systems equipped with an automatic belt

not give an accurate measure of the belt tension. The
automatic belt tensioner is designed to maintain proper
belt tension over the life of the belt. Only inspection of the
tensioner is required.
The belt tensioner is designed to operate within the limit
of arm movement provided by the cast stops when the belt
length and geometry are correct.
If the tensioner is hitting either of the limits during
operation, check the mounting brackets and the belt
length. Loose brackets, bracket failure, alternator
movement, incorrect belt length, or belt failure can cause
the tensioner to hit the limits.

Do not remove the coolant filter.
Flush
CAUTION
Do not use caustic cleaners in the cooling system.
Aluminum components will be damaged.
The cooling system must be clean to work correctly and
to eliminate buildup of harmful chemicals.
Restore™ is a heavy-duty cooling system cleaner that

removes corrosion, silica gel, and other deposits. The
performance of Restore™ is dependent on time,
temperature, and concentration levels. An extremely
scaled or flow-restricted system, for example, can require
higher concentrations of cleaners, higher temperatures,
or longer cleaning times, or the use of Restore Plus™. Up
to twice the recommended concentration levels of
Restore™ can be used safely. Restore Plus™ must be used
only at its recommended concentration level. Extremely
scaled or fouled systems can require more than one
cleaning.
CAUTION
Fleetguard® Restore™ contains no antifreeze. Do not
allow the cooling system to freeze during the cleaning
operation.
After draining the coolant, immediately add 3.8 liters [1
gal] of Fleetguard® Restore™, Restore Plus™, or
equivalent, for each 38 to 57 liters [10 to 15 gal] of cooling
system capacity, and fill the system with plain water.
Turn the cab heater temperature switch to high to allow
maximum coolant flow through the heater core. The
blower does not have to be on.
WARNING
WARNING
Operate the engine at normal operating temperatures, at
least 85°C [185°F] for one to one and a half hours.

CAUTION
Engine intake air must be filtered to prevent dirt and
debris from entering the engine. If intake air piping is
damaged or loose, unfiltered air will enter the engine
and cause premature wear.
Inspect for loose clamps or damage between the intake
air piping, air cleaner, turbocharger, charge-air cooler,
and intake manifold.
Check for corrosion of the intake system piping under the
clamps and hoses. Corrosion can allow corrosive products
and dirt to enter the intake system. Disassemble and clean
as required.
Replace damaged pipes and tighten loose clamps.
Excessive back pressure can cause exhaust leaks. Verify

the exhaust back pressure is within specified limits. Refer
Operate the engine at full throttle and maximum load, and
check for air leaks. Listen for a whistling noise caused by
high-pressure air leaks.
CAUTION
Do not use air tools to remove or install the nut on the
v-band clamp. Use of these tools can seriously
damage the threads or the bolt and cause the clamp
to not be able to be reused.
The noise can be caused by an air leak from the following:

Turbocharger, Variable Geometry

Actuator (010-113)
General Information
Variable Geometry
The purpose of the variable geometry turbocharger is:
When the EGR flow is commanded, the variable geometry
turbocharger will close the nozzle in the turbine housing
to create more back pressure in the exhaust manifold to
force exhaust gas back into the engine.
The turbocharger also functions to improve engine

performance by building boost more quickly during
acceleration.
Signature, ISX, and QSX15 Engi [...] Turbocharger, Variable Geometry Actuator
The variable geometry turbocharger functions as a

standard turbocharger with the addition of the following:
• A speed sensor (1) in the bearing housing to monitor
turbocharger operation.
• Water-cooled bearing housings (in addition to oil
lubrication)
• The sliding nozzle (2) is actuated by a pneumatic
actuator attached to the vehicle (brake) air supply
system
• The pneumatic actuator (3) operated by an air control
valve (4)
• On some engines, a filter and shutoff valve (5) are
used in the air line between the control valve (4) and
the air supply tank (6)
• When the variable geometry turbocharger
mechanism opens, a noise can be heard as air is
released from the actuator (3) through the control
valve (4).

Variable Geometry Turbocharger

Actuator, Electric (010-134)
General Information
The purpose of the variable geometry turbocharger:
When the EGR flow is commanded, the variable
geometry turbocharger will close the nozzle in the
turbine housing to create more back pressure in the
exhaust manifold, to force the EGR flow back into the
engine.
Closing the variable geometry turbocharger will also
increase exhaust gas temperature under certain
normal engine operating conditions and during
aftertreatment regeneration events.
The turbocharger also functions to improve engine
performance by building boost more quickly during
acceleration.
Refer to Procedure 011-999, Exhaust System - Overview,
for further information regarding variable geometry
turbocharger and aftertreatment system interactions.
This procedure provides service information for the
electronically controlled variable geometry turbocharger
actuators.
NOTE: To avoid improper installation of the turbocharger
actuator, follow each step in its entirety and in the proper
sequence.

Preparatory Steps
WARNING
personal injury.
• Clean the area around the turbocharger actuator and
dry with compressed air.
• Drain the engine coolant. Refer to Procedure
008-018.
• Disconnect the turbocharger actuator coolant supply
and return lines from the turbocharger actuator.
• Remove the turbocharger actuator wiring harness
zip ties.
Remove
Disconnect the wiring harness from the turbocharger
actuator by sliding the locking tang to the open position,
and then pushing down on the release lever and pulling
the connection apart.
Remove the four turbocharger actuator mounting

capscrews with a 5-mm allen wrench and discard the
capscrews.
Remove the actuator.
Remove and discard the turbocharger actuator sealing
gasket.
Inspect for Reuse

Use a clean cloth to wipe around the surface where the
turbocharger actuator seals to the turbocharger.
NOTE: Take care not to drop any dirt or debris into the
turbocharger.
Inspect the sealing surfaces and the sealing gasket for
signs of leaks, cracks, or other damage.
If the sealing surface of the turbocharger is damaged and

causing a leak, replace the turbocharger. Refer to
Procedure 010-033.
If the sealing surface of the actuator is causing a leak,
replace only the actuator.
Inspect the pinion gear on the actuator for seizure,

excessive wear, or damaged teeth.
Replace the actuator if the pinion gear is seized or if the
teeth are worn or damaged.
Inspect the sector gear on the turbocharger for excessive

wear, damaged teeth, or a broken shaft.
Grasp the sector gear by hand and move it through its
operational range.
Within the turbocharger, there are solid end stops which
limit sector gear travel in both directions.
The sector gear must move smoothly by hand through the
range of motion. It takes considerable effort to begin
moving the sector gear. However, once the sector gear
begins to move, minimal force is required to continue
moving the sector gear through its operating range.
Rotate the sector gear toward the turbocharger

compressor cover (1) until it stops. The through hole in the
center of the sector gear must line up with the blind hole
in the bearing housing.
Verify that the sector gear is aligned by inserting the
alignment pin included in the actuator kit or a 3/16” or
5mm drill bit through the sector gear and into the bearing
housing.
NOTE: Some ISX CM871 turbochargers were

manufactured without the small 3-mm alignment hole. In
order to check for full stroke when the sector gear is
rotated toward the turbine housing (2), half of the 5-mm
alignment hole (B) will be exposed at the compressor
housing side of the sector gear, as shown here.
Rotate the sector gear toward the turbocharger turbine

housing (2) until it stops. Half of the smaller 3-mm [.12 in]
alignment hole (A) will be exposed at the turbine housing
side of the sector gear.
If the sector gear does not go through the full range of
motion or if the sector gear requires excessive force to
move it by hand, replace the turbocharger. Refer to
Procedure 010-033.
Time
CAUTION
During the turbocharger actuator install test, the
pinion gear on the actuator will move. Keep hands and
tools away from the pinion gear during the test.
• Continue through the entire turbocharger actuator

Time Step before attempting to troubleshoot any
other fault codes.
• Verify that the turbocharger actuator is removed
from the turbocharger bearing housing.
• Verify that the turbocharger actuator electrical
connector is disconnected from the engine wiring
harness.
• Turn the keyswitch ON.
• Connect the turbocharger actuator electrical
connector to the engine wiring harness.
• If at any point the INSITE™ electronic service tool
status message indicates the test was stopped or
failed, turn the keyswitch OFF for 30 seconds and
key back ON. Then start over, beginning with the
actuator Time Step.
If Fault Code 2634 becomes active, disconnect the
turbocharger actuator connector from the engine wiring
harness with the keyswitch ON. Reconnect the
turbocharger actuator electrical connector. Fault Code
2634 will go inactive.
Fault Code 2198 could be active at this point in the
installation procedure when installing a new turbocharger
actuator on an engine built prior to January 1, 2007.
It is normal and expected to have Fault Code 2449 active
when a new turbocharger actuator is connected to the
engine, because it is not calibrated to the turbocharger.
Continue through the engine turbocharger actuator
installation procedure before attempting to troubleshoot
any other fault codes.
Connect INSITE™ electronic service tool.

In INSITE™ electronic service tool, go to the ECM
Diagnostic Tests screen.
From the list of tests, select VGT Electronic Actuator
Installation and Calibration and click on the “next” button.
Locate the column labeled “Value” and left click on the
down arrow. Select INSTALL ACTUATOR and select
START.
This will set the actuator pinion gear to a known position
to prepare it for installation to the turbocharger. This step
should take less than 30 seconds to complete with
INSITE™ electronic service tool.
INSITE™ electronic service tool will indicate when this step
is complete.
Disconnect the turbocharger actuator from the engine
wiring harness. Be sure to keep the keyswitch in the ON
position.
Fault Codes 2449 and 2636 will be active at this point in
the procedure. Continue through the turbocharger
actuator procedure before troubleshooting fault codes.
If the INSITE™ electronic service tool status message
indicates the test was stopped or failed, turn the keyswitch
OFF for 30 seconds and key back ON. Then start over,
beginning with the actuator Time Step.
Grasp the sector gear by hand and rotate the sector gear
toward the turbocharger compressor cover until the
through hole in the sector gear lines up with the blind hole
in the bearing housing. Verify the sector gear is aligned
by inserting the alignment pin included in the actuator kit
or a 3/16” or 5mm drill bit through the sector gear and into
the bearing housing.
Coat the teeth on the sector gear with the high-
temperature grease from the packet supplied in the
installation kit.
NOTE: It is critical for smooth reliable operation of the
actuator to use the full amount of the Holset® supplied
high-temperature grease.
Remove the alignment pin or drill bit.
Install
CAUTION
Do not attempt to force the actuator onto the bearing
housing by using the capscrews. Misalignment can
cause damage to the actuator or turbocharger.
Align the actuator and gasket assembly with the
turbocharger bearing housing face with the two lower
capscrews. Be sure to use the new capscrews available
in the turbocharger actuator mounting kit.
Align the actuator to the bearing housing and slide the
actuator into place. The actuator pinion gear and the
turbocharger sector gear must engage smoothly. If not,
verify that the sector gear through-hole and the bearing
housing blind-hole are aligned.
You could possibly have to twist the actuator housing in
order to align it with the mounting holes.
With the actuator aligned on the bearing housing, install

the remaining two capscrews.
Tighten the four capscrews in a crisscross pattern.
Torque Value: Step1 3 N•m [ 27 in-lb ]
Step2 11 N•m [ 97 in-lb ]

For engines with an ESN beginning with 14040552, the
tubes must be installed so that they do not cross over
each other.
Apply anti-seize compound to the tube threads and install
the tubes.
This insulation is designed to only cover the bottom
portion of the tube which threads to the EGR tube. This
location proves to be most effective and prevents heat
soaking of the EGR differential pressure sensor.
Signature, ISX, and QSX15 Engi [...] Exhaust Gas Pressure Sensor Tube

The tubes must be installed so that they do not cross each

Apply anti-seize compound to the tube threads and install
the tubes.
NOTE: It is critical to properly torque the differential
pressure sensor tube to 30 N•m [22 ft-lb]. Exhaust leakage
and subsequent tube plugging can occur when not
properly torqued. If a torque wrench and crow's foot can
not be used to tighten the tubes, use a flare nut wrench
and apply more force than normal. Studies indicate
technicians apply only16 N•m [12 ft lb] of torque to the
tube nuts, when using a flare nut wrench.

General Information
WARNING
During regeneration, exhaust gas temperature could
reach 800°C [1500°F], and exhaust system surface
temperature could exceed 700°C [1300°F], which is
hot enough to ignite or melt common materials, and
to burn people. The exhaust and exhaust components
can remain hot after the vehicle has stopped moving.
To avoid the risk of fire, property damage, burns or
other serious personal injury, allow the exhaust
system to cool before beginning this procedure or
repair and make sure that no combustible materials
are located where they are likely to come in contact
with hot exhaust or exhaust components.
CAUTION
The aftertreatment diesel oxidation catalyst elements
contained in the aftertreatment system are made of
brittle material. Do not drop or strike the side of the
aftertreatment system as damage to the
aftertreatment diesel oxidation catalyst element can
result.
Due to the number of various exhaust aftertreatment
applications, this procedure contains generic information.
Not all illustrations within this procedure will represent the
applications.
The aftertreatment system is composed of four sections.
These sections are:
1. Inlet
2. Aftertreatment Diesel Oxidation Catalyst
3. Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter
4. Outlet.
NOTE: In some applications, the aftertreatment diesel
oxidation catalyst can be integrated into the inlet of the
exhaust aftertreatment.

NOTE: If necessary, remove additional mounting
hardware to remove the aftertreatment diesel particulate
filter from the vehicle.
Remove the v-band clamps from the inlet and outlet
flanges of the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter.
Separate the flanges by approximately 25 mm [1 in] to
allow removal over the gasket retainer rings.
Remove and discard the gaskets.
Signature, ISX, and QSX15 Engi [...] Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter

CAUTION
Do not use a grinder or abrasive air tool to remove
residual gasket material, as this can damage the
flange and cause the connection to leak.
CAUTION
Do not use an open flame to burn off soot
accumulation from the face of the aftertreatment
diesel particulate filter.
CAUTION
Do not scrape off soot accumulation from the face of
the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter.
NOTE: The aftertreatment diesel particulate filter relies on
gas flow through the walls to collect soot. To accomplish
gas flow through the walls of the filter, every other cell on
the face of the filter is plugged with a ceramic material.
Therefore it is not possible to see light straight through
the holes in the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter.
Remove any residual gasket material from the flanges on
the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter with a scraping
tool.
Avoid dropping fragments of gasket material into the
aftertreatment diesel particulate filter.
NOTE: It is not possible to inspect the outlet of the
aftertreatment diesel oxidation catalyst and inlet of the
aftertreatment diesel particulate filter on aftertreatment
systems with a joined aftertreatment diesel oxidation
catalyst - aftertreatment diesel particulate filter.
Refer to the Catalyst and Aftertreatment Particulate Filter

Reuse Guidelines, Bulletin 4021600, to inspect the inlet
and outlet faces of the aftertreatment diesel particulate
filter for signs of damage.
Replace the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter if
damage is found.
If the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter has been
removed for cleaning and is considered good dirty
according to the Catalyst and Aftertreatment Particulate
Filter Reuse Guidelines, Bulletin 4021600, the filter can be
cleaned using an approved Cummins' aftertreatment
diesel particulate filter cleaning machine.
After cleaning the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter
must be inspected using the approved Cummins'
cleaning machine. If the filter passes inspection, it can be
reused, otherwise the filter cleaning must be repeated.
If the filter does not pass inspection after two successive
cleanings, it must be sent to ReCon® and a replacement
filter must be used.

Replace the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter if

cracks are present on the face.
If the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter has shifted,
moved, or is loose inside of the canister, replace the

Return the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter section
to an Authorized Cummins® Repair Location for cleaning
or replacement.
Inspect the v-band clamps and mounting straps for signs

of over-extension. The band must not be bent or
damaged.
Inspect the v-band clamps and mounting strap threads for
damage.
Replace the v-band clamp or strap if damage is found.

WARNING
Install new gaskets on the inlet and outlet of the
aftertreatment diesel particulate filter canister.
NOTE: In some applications, a locating tab was integrated
into the gasket retaining ring. The locating tab will prevent
the jointed aftertreatment diesel oxidation catalyst -
aftertreatment diesel particulate filter from being installed
backwards, and will restrict the rotational orientation that
the filter can be installed.
NOTE: On vertical aftertreatment orientations, a
aftertreatment diesel particulate filter differential pressure
sensor tube support can be present. Be sure that the
support is aligned with the tube prior to installing the filter.
Loosely tighten the v-band clamps to allow rotation for
