How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disable automatic start. Disconnect battery negative before removing the controller if required.

  • Check fuses: Locate and test the low-voltage control fuses in the Cummins control panel. Replace any blown fuses with the correct rating.
  • Power connections: Verify tightness of DC supply and ground wires at the controller terminals.
  • Battery voltage: Confirm adequate battery voltage at the controller input.
  • Controller replacement: If power and fuses are good but the display remains dead, the controller module may have failed and require replacement and configuration by a Cummins dealer.
