This is not an electrical fault on a sensor. FMI 31 means the ECM has detected that the named condition for Hydrogen Recirculation Pump Motor Temperature is true. The fault code itself is the message; the fix is to find out why the ECM believes the condition exists.
It lights the amber CHECK ENGINE (warning) lamp. The engine keeps running, but a torque or speed derate may apply depending on the calibration and on how long the fault stays active.
On a generic J1939 scan tool, or on the dash of a Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt, International or Volvo chassis, the same fault is shown as SPN 517062 FMI 31 rather than as Cummins code 15783. Cummins INSITE and Calterm show the Cummins number, the SPN / FMI pair and the lamp together.

J1939 failure mode identifiers (FMI)
FMI 31 is highlighted. The FMI is the second half of every J1939 fault and tells you how the component failed; the SPN tells you which component.

Questions about code 15783
What does Cummins fault code 15783 mean?
Cummins 15783 is "Hydrogen Recirculation Pump Motor Temperature - Condition Exists". It maps to SPN 517062 FMI 31. This is not an electrical fault on a sensor. FMI 31 means the ECM has detected that the named condition for Hydrogen Recirculation Pump Motor Temperature is true. The fault code itself is the message; the fix is to find out why the ECM believes the condition
Which lamp does fault code 15783 turn on?
Amber WARNING lamp: It lights the amber CHECK ENGINE (warning) lamp. The engine keeps running, but a torque or speed derate may apply depending on the calibration and on how long the fault stays active.
How do I clear or permanently delete Cummins code 15783?
An active code goes inactive on its own once the condition is gone; the inactive record stays in the ECM fault history until it is cleared with Cummins INSITE (or a J1939 tool that supports the DM3 / DM11 clear). If the code keeps coming back because the part is gone, disconnected or not worth repairing, the lasting fix is to disable fault 15783 in the calibration: upload your .xcal to the ECFG Superstore file service, custom DTC delete from $150 (up to 30 codes), full DPF / EGR / SCR delete $500, and flash the returned file with Calterm or INSITE.
