Cummins ISX12 CM2250 (2010-12) Fault Code: 141 PID: 522 SPN: 100 FMI: 4 Engine Oil Rifle Pressure 1 Sensor Circuit- Voltage Below Normal or Shorted to Low Source

Circuit Description
The electronic control module (ECM) provides a 5 volt supply to the engine oil pressure sensor on the sensor supply circuit. The ECM also provides a ground on the sensor return circuit. The engine oil pressure sensor provides a signal to the ECM on the engine oil pressure sensor signal circuit. This sensor signal voltage changes based on the pressure in the oil rifle. The ECM will detect a low signal voltage at operating conditions when the oil pressure may be slightly lower. The ECM will detect a high signal voltage during high engine speeds or operating conditions when the oil temperature is low.

Component Location
The engine oil pressure sensor is located on the left side of the engine block.

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 engine oil pressure signal voltage is less than 0.25-VDC for more than 16 seconds.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active
The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE light immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.
A default value is used for the engine oil pressure reading.
Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code
To validate the repair, start the engine and let, it idle for 1 minute.
The fault code status displayed by INSITE? electronic service tool will change to INACTIVE immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
The ECM will turn off the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp after the diagnostic runs and passes.
For OBD engines, the ECM will turn off the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) after three consecutive trips where the diagnostic runs and passes.
The ?Reset All Faults? command in INSITE? electronic service tool can be used to clear active and inactive faults, as well as extinguish the MIL for OBD engines.

Shop Talk
If the oil pressure sensor shares supply and return wires in the engine harness with other sensors, opens and shorts in the engine harness can cause multiple fault codes to be active. Before troubleshooting Fault Code 141, check for multiple faults.

Possible causes of this fault code include:

Signal circuit open or shorted to ground in the engine harness or sensor
Supply wire open or shorted to ground.

Possible Cause:
1) Engine Harness
2) ECM failure
