The signal wire for Aftertreatment Exhaust Temperature 2 Sensor Circuit is sitting above the voltage window the ECM expects. In practice that is usually an open signal or return wire (the ECM pull-up takes the input high), a short to the 5 V supply or battery, or a failed sensor element.
It turns on the red STOP ENGINE lamp. Cummins classes this as a fault that can damage the engine or aftertreatment if ignored: stop as soon as it is safe to do so. Many calibrations also apply an engine-protection derate while the fault is 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 3249 FMI 3 rather than as Cummins code 7152. Cummins INSITE and Calterm show the Cummins number, the SPN / FMI pair and the lamp together.
This is an emissions-system code. If the component it refers to has been removed or unplugged (DPF, EGR, SCR / DEF or NOx sensor delete) the code will keep returning and the derate with it, however many times it is cleared, because the diagnostic is still enabled in the calibration. The lasting fix in that case is to disable the fault in the .xcal itself.
Custom DTC delete, up to 30 codes, $150. Full DPF / EGR / SCR delete with all related codes and derates, $500. Upload your Calterm .xcal, tick the services, pay with PayPal, and the finished file comes back by email and WhatsApp.

J1939 failure mode identifiers (FMI)
FMI 3 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 7152
What does Cummins fault code 7152 mean?
Cummins 7152 is "Aftertreatment Exhaust Temperature 2 Sensor Circuit - Voltage Above Normal or Shorted to High Source". It maps to SPN 3249 FMI 3. The signal wire for Aftertreatment Exhaust Temperature 2 Sensor Circuit is sitting above the voltage window the ECM expects. In practice that is usually an open signal or return wire (the ECM pull-up takes the input high), a short to the 5 V supply or battery
Which lamp does fault code 7152 turn on?
Red STOP lamp: It turns on the red STOP ENGINE lamp. Cummins classes this as a fault that can damage the engine or aftertreatment if ignored: stop as soon as it is safe to do so. Many calibrations also apply an engine-protection derate while the fault is active.
How do I clear or permanently delete Cummins code 7152?
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 7152 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.
