Cummins ISX11.9 CM2250 (2010-12) Fault Code: 2311 (BCL) PID: SID 18 SPN: 633 FMI: 31 Electronic Fuel Injection Control Valve Circuit- Condition exists

Circuit Description
The circuit is a pulse width modulated driver in the engine control module (ECM) that controls the fuel pump actuator. The actuator is grounded in the ECM. The ECM varies the current to this valve to provide the correct fuel flow to the high-pressure pump based on engine operating conditions. The fuel pump actuator valve is a normally open valve. High circuit resistance can cause fuel pressure to be higher than commanded at light loads.

Component Location
The fuel pump actuator valve is located on the engine-mounted fuel pump housing.

Conditions for Running the Diagnostics
This diagnostic runs continuously when the engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes
This fault is set when the fuel pump actuator circuit has intermittent circuit problems, or the fuel pump actuator resistance it too high or too low.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active
The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE light and/or the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.
Sensed fuel rail pressure will not follow the commanded rail pressure.
Active and stationary regeneration of the diesel particulate filter will be disabled.
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve will be closed.
Engine torque will be reduced if the engine is operated for an extended period of time with this fault active.
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 On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) engines, the ECM will turn off the 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 applications

Shop Talk
If this fault code occurs during a road test, verify that all connectors are clean and free of corrosion before replacing components.

This fault code can become active for any of the following reasons:

Fuel pump actuator high resistance
Engine harness high resistance
Loose, worn, or corroded connectors or pins at the fuel pump actuator or ECM connectors
Fuel pump actuator with low internal resistance
Fuel pump actuator or engine harness that has shorted to ground
Intermittent circuit malfunctions that cause the fuel pressure to exceed the fuel rail pressure relief valve opening pressure.
If an intermittent electrical circuit problem of the fuel pump actuator circuit exists, it is possible for the fault code to become active then inactive during normal engine operation. For example, if a poor connection causes an intermittent open or short circuit, the normally open valve will open in a fraction of a second while the circuit is malfunctioning, causing the fuel rail pressure relief valve to open. Following the event that caused the fuel rail pressure relief valve to open, the ECM will attempt to reset the fuel rail pressure relief valve, provided the fuel pump actuator circuit is not still malfunctioning.

Possible Cause:
1) ECM calibration
