Dual-Output Driver A

DESCRIPTION
The dual-output driver A will control engine and vehicle functions
by controlling original equipment manufacturers (OEM) devices
based on up to 12 selected engine parameters and two selected
OEM parameters (OEM switch input and OEM pressure input). The
solenoid output will control functions like a fan clutch, air cleaner
restriction indicator, or an oil filter differential pressure indicator.

COMPONENT LOCATION

Less than 10 ohms?

Yes - Go to 2C No - Replace the OEM harness

Go to 3A

Step 2C) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the OEM harness from the ECM. Disconnect the OEM
harness from the OEM device. Check for a short in the OEM device supply wire to ground. Measure the
resistance from pin 5 to engine block ground.

More than 100k ohms?

Yes – gGo to 2D No - Replace OEM harness

all other wires in the OEM harness connector.

More than 100k ohms?

Yes - Go to 3A No - Replace the OEM harness

Go to 3A

Step 3A) Connect all components and disable the fault code. Start the engine, and let idle for 1 minute.

Fault Code 527 inactive?

Yes - Go to 3B No - Return to troubleshooting steps or contact local

Cummins Authorized Repair Location if all steps
have been completed and checked again
Go to 1A

Step 3B) Connect all components and clear the inactive fault codes using the diagnostic tool.

All fault codes cleared?
