Circuit DescriptionThe air shutoff valve is either an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or Cummins® installed component that shuts off the flow of air into the intake of the engine in order to prevent an engine overspeed condition. When activated, the engine control module (ECM) supplies 12-VDC to the air shutoff solenoid. This solenoid then activates the valve, closing a plate over the intake.

Component LocationThe air shutoff valve is either an OEM or Cummins® installed component, and is usually located on the air intake connection.

Conditions for Running the DiagnosticsThis diagnostic only runs during an Air Shutoff Valve Test.

Conditions for Setting the Fault CodesThe Engine Control Module (ECM) detected that the air shutoff valve has not closed.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is ActiveThe ECM illuminates the red STOP ENGINE lamp and/or the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.

Conditions for Clearing the Fault CodeUse INSITE™ electronic service tool to calibrate the ECM.NOTE: The engine must be calibrated again to clear the fault code. This is done because of the hazardous operating environment and safety considerations.

To validate the repair, the Air Shutoff Valve Test must be performed again and successfully passed.
