Cummins: Fault Code: 415 PID: P100 SPN: 100 FMI: 1

The document provides information about fault code 415 related to low oil pressure in a Cummins engine. It describes the oil pressure switch, which detects oil pressure and sends a signal to the ECM. If pressure drops below 6 psi for 30 seconds, engine protection is activated after another 30 seconds if enabled. Troubleshooting steps include verifying pressure with a mechanical gauge, checking for causes of low pressure, clearing any fault codes.

OIL PRESSURE - ENGINE PROTECTION WITH AN

CUMMINS OIL PRESSURE SWITCH

FAULT CODE: 415


PID: P100
SPN: 100
FMI: 1

Oil Pressure Sensor Circuit

DESCRIPTION
The oil pressure switch is used by the electronic control module
(ECM) to detect the presence of lubricating oil pressure.
- Verify, with the driver, the engine speed at which the fault occurs.
If the engine is being operated at too low of a speed, the oil
pressure can drop below the engine protection limits.
- Connect a manual gauge to monitor actual oil pressure of the
engine.
- Engines in the field can have had a jumper harness kit installed
which connects the oil pressure switch to pin K in the 23-pin OEM
connector or cavity 8 in the Ford OEM connector.
- The fault will trigger if lubricating oil pressure drops below 41 kPa
[6 psi] for 30 seconds. Engine Protection Shutdown will be activated
after an additional 30 seconds if the feature is enabled in the ECM.
COMPONENT LOCATION
The oil pressure switch is located on the engine block below the
ECM.

TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
Step 1A) Turn key switch ON and verify the sensor accuracy with a mechanical gauge. Connect a
mechanical oil pressure gauge to the engine. Connect diagnostic tool to the vehicle data link, and start the
engine. The switch will display 379.9 kPa [55.1 psi] in diagnostic tool if it detects actual oil pressure above
41 kPa [6 psi].

Switch detecting oil pressure?

Yes - Locate and repair the cause of low oil pressure No - Refer to Fault code 135 or 141
Go to 2A

Step 2A) Connect all components. Turn key switch ON and disable the fault code. Start the engine and let
idle for 1 minute. Verify Fault Code 415 is inactive.

Fault Code 415 inactive?

Yes - Go to 2B No - Return to troubleshooting steps or contact local


Cummins Authorized Repair Location if all steps
have been completed and checked again
Go to 1A

Step 2B) Connect all components, turn key switch ON and clear the inactive fault codes using the diagnostic
tool.
All fault codes cleared?

Yes - Repair is complete No - Troubleshoot any remaining active fault codes


with appropriate troubleshooting steps.
