The electrical side of Engine Fuel Pump Pressurizing Assembly 2 checks out, but the mechanical part is not doing what the ECM commanded or is out of its adjustment range. Think stuck valves, seized actuators, worn linkages, or a part that moves but never reaches the commanded position.
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 1348 FMI 7 rather than as Cummins code 328; an OBD-II reader shows it as P0257. Cummins INSITE and Calterm show the Cummins number, the SPN / FMI pair and the lamp together.

Questions about code 328
What does Cummins fault code 328 mean?
Cummins 328 is "Engine Fuel Pump Pressurizing Assembly 2 - Mechanical System Not Responding or Out of Adjustment". It maps to SPN 1348 FMI 7 and OBD code P0257. The electrical side of Engine Fuel Pump Pressurizing Assembly 2 checks out, but the mechanical part is not doing what the ECM commanded or is out of its adjustment range. Think stuck valves, seized actuators, worn linkages, or a part that moves but never
Which lamp does fault code 328 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 328?
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 328 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.
