What Cummins code 16669 means

The reading for Motor/Generator 1 Torque -Data Valid but Above Normal Range: Moderately Severe Level is believed to be correct, but it has gone moderately above the normal operating range. This is the middle of the three "above range" levels (FMI 15, 16 and 0); it often triggers a derate and will escalate if the condition continues.

No dash lamp is attached to this code in the Cummins fault table. It is logged in the ECM and shows up in Cummins INSITE (or any J1939 tool reading DM1 / DM2), but on its own it does not light a lamp.

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 9061 FMI 16 rather than as Cummins code 16669. Cummins INSITE and Calterm show the Cummins number, the SPN / FMI pair and the lamp together.

J1939 failure mode identifiers (FMI)

FMI 16 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.

FMI	Meaning (SAE J1939-73)
0	Data valid but above normal operational range - most severe level
1	Data valid but below normal operational range - most severe level
2	Data erratic, intermittent or incorrect
3	Voltage above normal, or shorted to high source
4	Voltage below normal, or shorted to low source
5	Current below normal or open circuit
6	Current above normal or grounded circuit
7	Mechanical system not responding or out of adjustment
8	Abnormal frequency, pulse width or period
9	Abnormal update rate
10	Abnormal rate of change
11	Root cause not known
12	Bad intelligent device or component
13	Out of calibration
14	Special instructions

Questions about code 16669

What does Cummins fault code 16669 mean?

Cummins 16669 is "Motor/Generator 1 Torque -Data Valid but Above Normal Range: Moderately Severe Level". It maps to SPN 9061 FMI 16. The reading for Motor/Generator 1 Torque -Data Valid but Above Normal Range: Moderately Severe Level is believed to be correct, but it has gone moderately above the normal operating range. This is the middle of the three "above range" levels (FMI 15, 16 and

Which lamp does fault code 16669 turn on?

No lamp: No dash lamp is attached to this code in the Cummins fault table. It is logged in the ECM and shows up in Cummins INSITE (or any J1939 tool reading DM1 / DM2), but on its own it does not light a lamp.

How do I clear or permanently delete Cummins code 16669?

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 16669 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.
