Cummins ISB CM850 (2003-06) Fault Code: 154 PID: 105 SPN: 105 FMI: 4 Intake Manifold Air Temperature Sensor Circuit – Voltage Below Normal or Shorted to Low Source. Low signal voltage detected at intake manifold air temperature circuit.

Posted by PerDiezel Solutions on January 18, 2026

The intake manifold temperature sensor shares RETURN wires in the engine harness with other sensors. Opens and shorts in the engine harness can cause multiple fault codes to be active. Check fault codes with multiple counts first.

Possible causes:

1)Signal circuit shorted to ground in the harness.
2)Signal circuit shorted to return or ground in the sensor.

The sensor return configuration for Euro 4 ISB engines has been changed for automotive wiring harnesses manufactured from February 2012 onward. The new style wiring harnesses can be be identified using the method below:

1)Disconnect the ECM connector
2)Disconnect the camshaft position sensor
3)Disconnect the intake manifold pressure/temperature sensor
4)Check for continuity between the intake manifold pressure/temperature sensor RETURN pin and the camshaft position sensor RETURN pin
5)Check for continuity between ECM pin 47 and the camshaft position sensor RETURN pin
6)Use the table below to determine which harness is fitted to the engine.

NOTE: QSB engines, all C series engines, and all L series engines are not affected by this change.

Possible repairs:

1)Replace the intake manifold air temperature sensor.
2)Replace the ECM.
3)Replace the engine harness.

Cummins ISB CM850 (2003-06) Fault Code: 153 PID: 105 SPN: 105 FMI: 3 Intake Manifold Air Temperature Sensor Circuit – Voltage Above Normal or Shorted to High Source. High signal voltage detected at intake manifold air temperature circuit.

Cummins ISB CM850 (2003-06) Fault Code: 151 (Marine) PID: 110 SPN: 110 FMI: 0 Engine Coolant Temperature – Data Valid but Above Normal Operational Range – Most Severe Level. Engine coolant temperature signal indicates engine coolant temperature above engine protection critical limit.

Cummins ISB CM850 (2003-06) Fault Code: 151 (Auto) PID: 110 SPN: 110 FMI: 0 Engine Coolant Temperature – Data Valid but Above Normal Operational Range – Most Severe Level. Engine coolant temperature signal indicates engine coolant temperature above engine protection critical limit.

Cummins ISB CM850 (2003-06) Fault Code: 148 PID: 91 SPN: FMI: 0 Accelerator Pedal or Lever Position Sensor 1 – Data Valid but Above Normal Operational Range – Most Severe Level. A frequency of more than 1500 Hz has been detected at the frequency throttle input to the ECM.

Cummins ISB CM850 (2003-06) Fault Code: 147 PID: 91 SPN: FMI: 1 Accelerator Pedal or Lever Position 1 Sensor Circuit Frequency – Data Valid but Below Normal Operational Range – Most Severe Level. A frequency of less than 100 HZ has been detected at the frequency throttle input to the ECM.

Cummins ISB CM850 (2003-06) Fault Code: 146 (Marine) PID: 100 SPN: 110 FMI: 0 Engine Coolant Temperature – Data Valid but Above Normal Operational Range – Moderately Severe Level. Engine coolant temperature signal indicates engine coolant temperature is above engine protection warning limit.
