    About Cummins

    Two separate software programs are used to access Cummins ECMs. The first of these

    programs,Insite,

    is

    used

    by

    technicians

    to

    program

    the

    modules,

    retrieve

    trip

    data,

    and

    to

    read

    faultcode information. Withrespecttofaults,theECMsdocumentsnapshotsatthefirstand

    lasttimesafaultcodeistriggered. Codesthatoccurinbetweenareoverwrittenandtherefore

    notstored. Faultcodesnapshotsareforasinglemomentintime,andsurroundinginformation

    codedata. Inaddition,PowerspecextractssuddendecelerationinformationfromtheECMfor

    59 seconds prior to the event and 15 seconds after the event. With Cummins, a sudden

    deceleration is defined as a wheel speed change of 9mph/sec. The ability to save such

    informationwas

    not

    programmed

    until

    late

    2004,

    and

    have the ability to store sudden deceleration information. Asof 2008 (EPA 07), all ISeries

    enginesmay record this information. Celectenginesareonlyaccessibleusing Insiteandare

    began

    events

    in

    addition

    to

    codes.

    In

    addition,

    as

    of

    2006,theVMacIValsorecordedlaststopinformation. Althoughconfigurationandfaultcode

    information isretrievablebythepublic,quickstopand laststopeventsarenot. Rather,this

    information is only accessible by individuals specifically designated by Mack. When an

    extractionisperformedtorecoverincidentinformation,upto75secondsmaybedocumented.

    Availabledatamayincludewheelspeed,enginespeed,clutchuse,andcruisecontrolstatus.

    Publicly available software,which is known as Vehicle ComputerAided Diagnostic Software

    (VCADS), will allow the user to retrieve general programming information. Fault code

    snapshots are for a singlemoment in time, and surrounding information is not captured.

    Therefore,given

    the

    limitations

    of

    VCADS,

    it

    is
