Overview

 

CODE REASON EFFECT
Fault Code: 124
PID: P102
SPN: 102
FMI: 0/16
LAMP: Amber
SRT: 

 

Intake manifold pressure is above the maximum operating limit.

 

 

Possible reduced engine performance.

Circuit Description

The engine control module (ECM) provides a 5 volt supply to the intake manifold pressure sensor on the sensor supply circuit. The ECM also provides a ground on the sensor return circuit. The intake manifold pressure sensor provides a signal to the ECM on the intake manifold pressure sensor signal circuit. This sensor signal voltage changes based on the pressure in the intake manifold.

Component Location

The intake manifold 1 pressure/temperature sensor is located in the air intake manifold.

 

Conditions for Running the Diagnostics

This diagnostic runs continuously when the engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes

The Engine Control Module (ECM) detected the intake manifold pressure reading was higher than expected for the engine operating conditions.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active

  • The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp and/or malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after the diagnostic fails on two consecutive trips.

Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code

  • To validate the repair, use the recommended Cummins® electronic service tool or equivalent to perform the “Air Handling Performance Test” found in ECM Diagnostic 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.
