Cummins ISB4.5 CM2150 Fault Code: 428 PID: 97 SPN: 97 FMI: 3 Water-in-Fuel Indicator Sensor Circuit – Voltage Above Normal or Shorted to High Source.

Circuit Description
The water-in-fuel sensor is attached to the fuel filter. The electronic control module (ECM) provides a 5 volt reference signal to the water-in-fuel sensor. When the water collected in the fuel filter covers the sensor probes, the water-in-fuel sensor then pulls the 5 volt reference voltage to ground, indicating high water accumulation in the fuel filter.

Component Location
The water-in-fuel sensor is integrated into the bottom of the OEM supplied suction fuel filter. The OEM supplied fuel filter is located on the intake side of the engine.

Conditions for Running the Diagnostics
This diagnostic runs continuously when the keyswitch is in the ON position.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes
The ECM detects that the water-in-fuel sensor signal voltage is above 4.95-VDC for 1 second.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active
-The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.

Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code
-To validate the repair, start the engine and let it idle for 1 minute.
-The ECM will turn off the amber CHECK ENGINE light and the fault code will go inactive immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
-This fault code can also be cleared with INSITE™ electronic service tool.

Possible Causes
-Open return or signal circuit in the harness, connectors, or sensor
-Signal wire shorted to sensor supply or battery voltage.
