The signal wire for Reserved for temporary CSAR use is sitting below the voltage window the ECM expects. In practice that is usually a short to ground, a short to the sensor return, a failed sensor, or a missing 5 V supply.
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 524276 FMI 4 rather than as Cummins code 19311. Cummins INSITE and Calterm show the Cummins number, the SPN / FMI pair and the lamp together.

FMI 4 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 19311
What does Cummins fault code 19311 mean?
Cummins 19311 is "Reserved for temporary CSAR use - Voltage Below Normal, or Shorted to High Source". It maps to SPN 524276 FMI 4. The signal wire for Reserved for temporary CSAR use is sitting below the voltage window the ECM expects. In practice that is usually a short to ground, a short to the sensor return, a failed sensor, or a missing 5 V supply.
Which lamp does fault code 19311 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 19311?
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 19311 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.
