Cummins ISB4.5 CM2150 Fault Code: 4138 PID: SPN: 1746 FMI: 9 Security Device – Abnormal Update Rate.

Posted by PerDiezel Solutions on January 20, 2026

Circuit Description
The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) security device is an optional device connected to the primary ECM through a J1939 data link network. Messages sent from the security device are received by the Cummins® ECM and are used to control the anti-theft features. The Cummins® ECM and security device must be configured properly so that proper operation of the system will occur

Component Location
The J1939 data link wiring and location of OEM installed J1939 devices varies by OEM. See equipment manufacturer service information for component location.

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 ECM detected a loss of communication with the OEM security device.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active
-The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.
-The engine may not start.

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 amber CHECK ENGINE lamp immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.

Possible Causes
-When the ECM is set up to receive information from an OEM device, but the OEM device is not transmitting the message for that component.
-When a multiplexed component is enabled in the Cummins® ECM, but the source address of the OEM device transmitting the component message is incorrect in the Cummins® ECM
