Cummins X15 CM2350 X116B Performance Series (2018 & Newer) Fault Code: 1846 PID: PID 97 SPN: 97 FMI: 4 Water In Fuel Indicator Sensor Circuit- Voltage Below Normal or Shorted to Low Source

Circuit Description
The water-in-fuel sensor is in the fuel filter. The engine control module (ECM) provides a 5 volt reference signal to the water-in-fuel sensor. When the water collected in the fuel filter covers the sensor probes, the water-in-fuel sensor pulls the 5-VDC reference voltage down, indicating high water accumulation in the fuel filter.

Component Location
The water-in-fuel sensor is integrated into the bottom of the OEM supplied suction fuel filter.

Conditions for Running the Diagnostics
This diagnostic runs continuously when the keyswitch is in the ON position or when the engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes
The Engine Control Module (ECM) detected the water in fuel sensor signal voltage was less than 0.05-VDC for 1 second.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active
The ECM illuminates the white MAINTENANCE lamp or flashes the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp, indicating a maintenance condition, immediately after the diagnostic runs and fails.
Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code
To validate the repair, perform a key cycle, 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 flashing amber CHECK ENGINE lamp / MAINTENANCE lamp immediately after 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.
