Finding the ECM Version for Cummins Engines

One way to determine the ECM version on a Cummins engine is by locating your engine serial number (ESN), then creating a free account on Cummins QuickServe. QuickServe will also provide a wealth of other information for your specific engine. To locate your engine serial number you can poke around under your engine and look for the stamped tag with this info, but an easier way is to find the DOT placards for your rig.Learn More

DEF Sensor Simulator – Arduino DUE (Original Build)

Assembling a DEF Sensor Simulator Using an Arduino DUE with CAN Card Following is the build process for the original version of the DSS hardware and software from September 2021. This is still a valid solution and requires no soldering, however, check the Quick Build page for the currently recommended solution which is likely to be smaller and less expensive. Only basic electrical and DIY skills are required for the hardware assembly, no soldering isLearn More

FAQ

I already have a Raspberry Pi with a CAN interface, can I use that? Not right now, only the Arduino hardware specified is currently supported. There are no immediate plans to port to the RPi, however we may pursue that option when time permits. Will this work on my PowerStroke – Duramax – Dodge Cummins Truck? The short answer is NO! The 1.5, 1 and 3/4 ton Pick-Up trucks all use DEF. However the ECMLearn More

DEF Sensor Simulator

Background: DEF systems in modern diesel engines are key to reducing Nitrous Oxide (NOx) emissions  and protecting the environment.   The DEF system is a combination of software, hardware and DEF fluid that enable this important task.  Recently there has been a pandemic of failures affecting one of the elements of the DEF system called the DEF sensor.  The origins of this “DEF pandemic” are not  known for certain but the failures may be related toLearn More
