FMI: 3

Dual-Output Driver B Circuit

DESCRIPTION
The dual-output driver B will control engine and vehicle functions by
controlling original equipment manufacturer (OEM) devices based on up to
12 selected engine parameters and two selected OEM inputs (the OEM
switch and the OEM pressure). The solenoid output will control functions
like a fan clutch, intake grid heater, air cleaner restriction indicator, or an
oil filter differential pressure indicator.
COMPONENT LOCATION
The location of the OEM device is dependent upon the OEM.

TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
Step 1A) Turn key switch OFF and check for extra wires on the OEM device.

No extra wires?

Yes - Go to 1B No - Remove the extra wires

Go to 4A

Step 1B) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the control wire from the solenoid or OEM connectors. Clean the
solenoid post and the wiring terminal or OEM connectors. Clean the post of the solenoid and the terminal or
connectors for the solenoid control wire of the OEM harness.

Solenoid post is clean?

Yes - Go to 1C No - Repair ring terminal, or replace the solenoid

Go to 4A

Step 1C) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the OEM harness from the OEM device. Check the OEM
device resistance. Measure the resistance from the OEM device to engine block ground.

OEM device resistance

Yes - Refer to OEM specifications No - Replace the OEM device, refer to the OEM
Go to 2A troubleshooting and repair manual
Go to 4A

Step 2A) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect OEM harness from the engine harness at the 23-pin
connector. Check the engine harness and OEM harness connector pins for the following:
• Bent or broken pins
• Pushed back or expanded pins
• Corroded pins
• Moisture in or on the connector

No damaged pins?

Yes - Go to 2B No - Repair or replace the OEM harness or the

engine harness, whichever has the damaged pins
Go to 4A

Step 2B). Turn key switch and disconnect the OEM harness from the OEM device. Disconnect the engine
harness from the 23-pin OEM harness connector. Check for an open circuit. Measure the resistance from
pin J of the 23-pin connector on the OEM side to the connector solenoid.

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 engine harness at the 23-pin
connector. Disconnect the OEM harness from the OEM device. Check for a short in the supply wire to
ground. Measure the resistance from the OEM device supply wire to engine block ground.

 More than 100k ohms?

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

Go to 4A

Step 2D) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the OEM harness from the engine harness at the 23-pin
connector. Disconnect the OEM harness from the OEM device. Check for a short circuit from pin to pin.
Measure the resistance between pin J in the OEM harness 23-pin connector and all other pins in the
connector.

More than 100k ohms?

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

Go to 4A

Step 3A) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect engine harness from the ECM. Check the ECM and engine
harness connector pins for the following:
• Bent or broken pins
• Pushed back or expanded pins
• Corroded pins
• Moisture in or on the connector
No damaged pins?

Yes - Go to 3B No - Repair the damaged pins

Go to 4A

Step 3B) Turn key switch ON and disconnect the engine harness from the ECM. Disconnect the engine
harness from the OEM harness at the 23-pin connector. Check for an open circuit. Measure the resistance
from pin 21 on the ECM side of the engine harness connector to pin J of the 23-pin connector.

 Less than 10 ohms?

Yes - Go to 3C No - Replace the engine harness

Go to 4A

Step 3C) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the ECM. Disconnect the engine
harness from the OEM harness at the 23-pin connector. Check for a short in the supply wire to ground.
Measure the resistance from the pin 21 to engine block ground.

More than 100k ohms?

Yes - Go to 3D No - Replace engine harness

Go to 4A

Step 3D). Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the ECM. Disconnect the engine
harness from the OEM harness at the 23-pin connector. Check for a short circuit from pin to pin. Measure
the resistance from pin 21 to all other pins in the engine harness connector.

 More than 100k ohms?

Yes - Go to 4A No - Replace engine harness

Go to 4A

Step 4A) Connect all components and disable the fault code. Start the engine, and let idle for 1 minute. .

Fault Code 529 inactive?

Yes - Go to 4B 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 4B) Connect all components and clear all inactive fault codes using the diagnostic tool.

All fault codes cleared?

Yes - Repair is complete No - Troubleshoot any remaining active fault codes

with appropriate troubleshooting steps.
