Possible Causes

Actual low fuel in day tank, Faulty fuel level sender, Wiring fault between sender and controller, Incorrect sender calibration

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disable automatic start. For diesel, avoid open flames; for gas, ensure area is ventilated.

  • Verify fuel level: Physically check the fuel tank or day tank gauge. Refill with the correct fuel if low.
  • Sender inspection: Locate the fuel level sender on the tank. Inspect wiring and connector for corrosion or damage.
  • Sender test: If possible, measure sender resistance and compare to Cummins specifications. Replace the sender if readings are out of range.
  • Calibration: Some controllers allow sender calibration; verify settings match the installed sender type.
  • Reset: After correcting fuel level or sender issues, clear the fault and confirm proper level indication.
