CM2350 X101 X15 - Turbo Actuator

[Hermjeji]

Got a fault this morning on the x15 with SPN 6713 FMI 9 (FC 5177) Variable Geometry Turbocharger Actuator Software.

Told the truck to stay at home not go to work and booked it in with cummins tomorrow (it's still under warranty, and code says basically it's a new actuator).

However, I went to check the truck out, and wiggled around some of the harness cables and let the truck run and the code went away. I still have to try and connect this truck to insite myself as I was getting the weatherpack connector, because it's not accepting inside 7.6.2 even with a CAN1 to CAN 3 adapter.

Anyways, question is, the fact it may have just been some loose connection, is it good to run and see if the code comes again. Or - do I take it to the shop and just get the actuator replaced, and check the turbo for the sector gear movement as well.

if it has not failed, is operating when you drive to them, the stealers$it will not likely warranty anything and it will cost you an arm and a leg to have them look at it. They are not likely going to do as you ask with any details either.. I would not trust them enough to throw a wrench at em these days... just my opinion.


just a thought.

The code you mention is a pretty common one. It is essentially saying that the turbo did not respond to the ecm fast enough (wiring harness issues, battery low, or voltage spikes during cranking, key-switch going directly from the off position to the crank position too quickly , driver not waiting those 5 or 6 seconds for the system to come up, etc. can cause it.

- But it is not normal to get a CEL over it while driving the truck.

This continues to be an intermittent issue on the X15, The actuator doesn't respond and sometimes won't allow the truck to start. I'll wiggle the connector on the actuator and it will start fine. Once operating, truck doesn't throw codes, but on startup it does once a week or so. I think it's a harness issue, or connection issue, is there anything i can do to make it more robust, and what should I be expecting in terms of resistance to check for any harness issues? This is what I gathered from quickserve:

you need to also check that the engine harness J1939 has 60 ohms on it...

rawze is correct check your harness i had this problem and the cable was pulled and ziptied so tight by the turbo by the manufacture it caused the wires to break inside the sheathing and be intermittent
