Cummins ISC CM2150 (2007-09) Fault Code: 2321 PID: 190 SPN: 190 FMI: 190 Engine Crankshaft Speed/Position – Data Erratic, Intermittent, or Incorrect. Crankshaft engine speed sensor intermittent synchronization.

Verify the electronic control module (ECM) calibration is correct. Check the calibration revision history found on QuickServe™ Online for applicable fixes to the calibration stored in the ECM. If necessary, calibrate the ECM.

During engine operation, the ECM monitors the primary speed sensor (crankshaft speed sensor) signal. Fault Code 689 will become active and light the yellow lamp if the signal from the primary speed sensor is not present or degraded for more than 3 continuous seconds. Meanwhile, if the primary engine speed sensor signal is not present or is degraded for a moment (less than 3 seconds), the ECM will interrupt injection events based on the primary engine speed sensor and resume injection events using the backup engine speed sensor. Engine power will be reduced while the injection events are based on the backup speed sensor. If the primary speed sensor signal returns, the ECM will automatically interrupt injection events based on the backup speed sensor and resume injection events based on the primary speed sensor. If over a period of time, the ECM detects several incidents of a loss of the primary speed sensor signal, this fault code will become active.

A vehicle operator can notice an intermittent “misfire” if the injection events are interrupted while the ECM switches from control based on the primary and secondary speed sensors. Also, a vehicle operator can notice intermittent “low power” if a “glitch” in the primary speed sensor signal causes the engine to intermittently use the backup speed sensor for injection control.

This fault code becomes active whenever the ECM detects a persistent loss of the primary engine speed sensor signal over a short period of time.

This fault becomes inactive at each key ON or if the ECM does not detect a loss of the primary engine speed sensor signal for at least 20 minutes.

Possible causes:

1)Intermittent loss of primary speed sensor signal; the most likely cause is an intermittent open or short circuit that can be experienced with speed sensor connector problems
2)Sensor air gap that is marginally too small or too large.

Actions to take if this fault is intermittent:

1)Look for intermittent engine harness connections in the primary engine speed sensor circuit
2)Look for loose connections at the ECM connector where the pins can not be locked into the socket
3)Look for places where the engine harness has worn into a nearby component, causing an intermittent short circuit
4)Look for pin wear at the speed sensor
5)Inspect the target wheel for damage.

Possible repairs:

1)Repair or replace the engine harness.
2)Replace or shim the sensor if air gap is out of specification. If the target runout is excessive, replace the target.
3)Replace the engine crankshaft speed/position sensor.
