    This document provides troubleshooting steps for fault code 444 related to the remote accelerator supply circuit on Cummins engines. The steps include checking connectors and wiring for damage, measuring resistance and voltage values, and replacing components if issues are found. Clearing the fault code and verifying the repair is also described. The goal is to isolate faults in the remote accelerator, coolant level sensor, wiring harness, or ECM that are causing the supply circuit fault.

    REMOTE ACCELERATOR SUPPLY CIRCUIT

    CUMMINS

    FAULT CODE: 444


    PID: S232
    SPN: 620
    FMI: 3 or 4

    Remote Accelerator Supply Circuit

    DESCRIPTION
    The remote accelerator supply circuit supplies +5 VDC for the
    remote accelerator and the coolant level sensor. These circuits are
    connected inside the ECM. Faults on these circuits could also affect
    the operation of the WIF sensor. These are all OEM options and
    often do not apply to your specific vehicle.
    NOTE: The connector pin letters shown for the accelerator pedal
    wiring in these troubleshooting steps are examples of
    representative sensors. The connector pin assignments can vary
    with equipment manufacturer, but the base troubleshooting logic
    will still apply.
    COMPONENT LOCATION
    The remote accelerator position sensor is located on the remote
    accelerator control assembly somewhere outside the cab. The
    coolant level sensor will be located in the top of the radiator or
    coolant tank. The WIF sensor is located in the fuel filter or fuel
    filter head.

    TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
    Step 1A) Turn key switch ON, connect the diagnostic tool and use it to read the fault codes.

    Fault Code 385 is active?

    Yes - Go to 2A No - Go to 1B

    Step 1B) Turn key switch ON and connect diagnostic tool Disconnect the coolant level sensor from the
    engine harness and read the fault codes using the diagnostic tool.

    Fault Code 444 still active?

    Yes - Go to 1C No - Replace the coolant level sensor


    Go to 5A

    Step 1C) Turn key switch ON and connect diagnostic tool. Disconnect the remote accelerator and read the
    fault codes using the diagnostic tool.

    Fault Code 444 still active?

    Yes - Go to 2A No - Replace remote accelerator


    Go to 5A

    Step 2A) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the OEM pigtail harness from the engine harness. Inspect the
    OEM pigtail harness and engine harness connectors for the following:
    • Bent or broken pins
    • Pushed back or expanded pins
    • Corroded pins
    • Moisture in or on the connector
    • Missing or damaged seals
    No damaged pins?

    Yes - Go to 2B No - Repair or replace the OEM pigtail harness or


    the engine harness connector, whichever has
    damaged pins
    Go to 5A

    Step 2B) Turn key switch ON and disconnect the OEM pigtail harness from the engine harness. Read the
    fault codes using the diagnostic tool.
    NOTE: If a diagnostic tool is not available, active fault codes can be flashed out in the OEM dash.

    Fault Code 385 or 444 remains active?

    Yes - Go to 2C No - Replace the OEM pigtail harness


    Go to 5A

    Step 2C) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the ECM. Disconnect the OEM
    pigtail harness from the engine harness. Inspect the engine harness and ECM connectors for the following:
    • Bent or broken pins
    • Pushed back or expanded pins
    • Corroded pins
    • Moisture in or on the connector
    • Missing or damaged seals

    No damaged pins?

    Yes - Go to 2D No - Repair or replace the engine harness or ECM


    connectors, whichever have damaged pins
    Go to 5A

    Step 2D) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the ECM. Disconnect the OEM
    pigtail harness from the engine harness. Check for a short circuit to ground. Measure resistance from pin 49
    in engine harness connector to engine block ground.

    More than 100k ohms?

    Yes - Go to 2E No - Repair or replace engine harness


    Go to 5A

    Step 2E). Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the ECM. Disconnect the OEM
    pigtail harness from the engine harness. Check for a short circuit from pin to pin. Measure resistance from
    pin 49 in engine harness connector to all other pins
