ECM (electronic control module) component, as well as other
vehicle subsystem components that broadcast on the SAE J1939 or
J1587 datalink. The POWERSPEC CE application communicates
with an engine ECM on the SAE J1939 or J1587 datalink(s). The
POWERSPEC CE application is designed to work with late-model
Cummins automotive engines PowerSpec's full functionality is
available to support all Cummins 2013 On-Highway engine
products (ISX15, ISX12, ISL9, and ISB6.7), 2010 engine products
(ISX15, ISX12, ISL9, ISC8.3 and ISB6.7), 2007 products (ISX,
ISM, ISL, ISC, ISB), some of the Natural Gas products (ISL G and
ISX12 G) and earlier products. It also supports fault codes and trip
information on Euro 3/4.5/5, ISBe, N14+ and M11+ CELECT Plus

POWERSPEC CE Basic Tutorial
This section describes a typical data-gathering session. It begins
with collecting (scanning) the data, saving data, reviewing
previously collected data, then downloading the saved data to the
PC using the Windows Mobile Device Center and PowerSpec PC.
This tutorial assumes the following:
The handheld device will be connected to a vehicle that it has not
been previously connected to.
The user is familiar with handheld organizer standard operations.
The cables and handheld device have all been properly connected.

View the Trip Screen Tap the Trip Information

screen or ‘1’ on the device
keypad hen a successful
connection is established,
POWERSPEC CE displays a
window with updating
messages such as ‘Connecting
to vehicle,’ then ‘Reading
Module Info,’ and finally
‘Reading Trip Info.’ Then the
Vehicle trip info will display
with the Reset Trip option at
the bottom of the screen. Tap
the Engine Info at the top of
the screen to view data. Select
the Trip screen and vehicle
trip information will be
displayed (for example,
Maximum Road Speed, Total
Fuel Used, etc.).

37
 Fault Screen Next choose Fault Codes by
tapping the Fault Code or
pressing the ‘2’ on the keypad.
This screen shows current
engine faults and inactive
faults. Select Reset Faults to
remove any inactive faults
from the engine. If faults are
present, you will see them
listed in the Faults List box
located on the Fault screen.
Selecting any fault takes you
immediately to a pop-up that
displays more details about the
selected fault.

Reviewing Data At this time, select the Menu

Icon
Browse Engine
Reports menu item. The
application saves the current
values for the equipment and
fault information. This
information is time-stamped
and can be viewed later, even
when POWERSPEC CE is not
connected to the engine. You
can view previously stored
data on the handheld by
selecting the Browse Engine
Reports menu item. When
Browse Engine Reports is
selected, a pull-down menu is
available at the top of the
screen. Once a piece of
equipment is selected, four
report categories are
displayed. Each category will
contain record entries for that
particular vehicle

38
 Deleting Records Previously stored data can be
deleted while Browsing
Engine Reports. Choose the
equipment from the pull-down
list and select either the
‘Delete’ icon or tap Delete on
the device screen. Deleting
the record will only remove
the currently viewed date/time
record from the record pull-
down list.

Note:It is recommended to perform synchronization

with the PC before deleting any equipment data from
the POWERSPEC CE application.

39
Installation
The installation of the POWERSPEC CE is described in the QC5600
Installation of PC software section.

Data
The conduit transfers five types of information from the handheld
organizer to the PC— engine information, trip, faults, feature
settings, and feature settings change reports. It creates and
maintains four “globally accessible” files, one for each type of
data. By default the files are placed in:
C:\ProgramData\Cummins\PowerSpec5\Reports\
The four reports are placed in a directory under the engine serial
number. The engine information is contained in the engInfo.xml
under the engine serial number directory.
An additional copy of the trip information is placed in:
C:\ProgramData\Cummins\Common\Reports
To be used by the PowerSpec PC software.
Upon a successful synchronization of POWERSPEC CE data, the
conduit instructs the handheld device to remove the downloaded
fault, trip, feature settings and feature settings change reports from
the handheld organizer, freeing disk space for future downloads or
other application data. As a result, all fault, trip, and equipment
data older than the last synchronization is not available to be
examined on the handheld device—only on the PC.

Formats
The conduit writes in spreadsheet-compatible XML file format.
Each entry or record is a single line with multiple fields. This
allows files to be easily imported into a program such as Microsoft
Excel for further analysis.

40
 Introduction to QUICKCHECK CE
The QUICKCHECK CE application in conjunction with the QC
CONFIGURATOR program, allows you to read and capture
select engine and subsystem data from your diesel-powered
vehicle. This data includes equipment identification
information, equipment configuration, fault information,
current operating parameters, and trip parameters.
With QUICKCHECK CE, you can:
 Read and store engine configuration information
 Read and store both active and inactive engine and
subsystem faults
 Monitor engine and subsystem operating parameters,
such as engine rpm, coolant temperature, and
transmission output shaft speed readings
 Read engine trip data, such as idle parameters and
vehicle distance
 Clear Inactive faults from the ECM.

Activating QUICKCHECK CE
The QUICKCHECK CE application icon depicted
at the right appears on the application launcher.
Tap the icon to launch the QUICKCHECK CE
application.

Equipment Screen
Once the QUICKCHECK CE icon is tapped, the Equipment
screen appears. This screen, along with the Monitor and Trip
screens described later, is considered to be a data display
screen. Each data display screen contains a connection status
display, an exit icon and a menu. This allows certain
information and functionality to be available in multiple
places in the application. This section serves to document the
repeated information for all screens. A fourth screen, the
Fault screen, is discussed later. The Equipment screen
contains several screen objects—each pointed out in the
picture below and described in the paragraphs that follow.

Current Screen
This label is an indicator of the currently active screen: Equipment,
Fault, Monitor, or Trip. It changes as the Navigation Tabs are used
to change between screens.

Navigation Tabs
Navigation Icons are available on all QUICKCHECK CE screens.
These allow the user to easily select the desired screen with a
single screen tap. This enables one to navigate to any other screen
in a convenient, intuitive fashion. Using the Left and Right arrow
keys will also change the viewing screens.

Engine Information
The Equipment screen displays information about the engine and
its configuration. If QUICKCHECK CE has been configured by QC
CONFIGURATOR to read another vehicle subsystem’s faults,
component identification information for this subsystem is
displayed at the bottom of the screen. Equipment information
uniquely identifies a vehicle and can be used to distinguish one set

42
of data from another. With the exception of Total Engine Hours
(which is found underneath the Software ID on the equipment list),
all data on this screen is static and should remain the same each
time the vehicle is connected to QUICKCHECK CE. When more
data parameters for a screen are available than can fit on the
display, a scroll bar appears, which the user can utilize to move the
display list up and down (alternatively, the Up and Down arrows
on the handheld device can be used to scroll up and down the list).

Equipment ID
The Equipment ID is a unique item in that it is a label that is
established by the user and will be associated with subsequent
connections to that vehicle, as well as being used to identify that
vehicle’s data. Once the Equipment ID is established for a
particular vehicle, it will automatically be retrieved on subsequent
connections to that vehicle. This feature allows the user to connect
and save data from multiple vehicles. In order to establish an
Equipment ID, the user must first connect to the desired vehicle. If
an Equipment ID has already been defined, it will appear in the
Equipment ID field; otherwise that field will be blank. In order to
set or modify that field, simply tap the stylus on the field and an
entry box will appear on the screen (as shown in the Figure on the
right). The user may then utilize the Input Panel keyboard to edit
the field. When finished, simply tap anywhere or use the exit
button to close the Equipment ID box. A save must be performed
the first time an Equipment ID is entered for a new vehicle so that
it can be retrieved in future connections.

43
Zoom Box
Some data plate fields may contain
strings of information that will not fit
in the allocated display area. For
these fields, an expanded display
zoom box allows you to view the
entire field. To activate the zoom
box, simply tap the stylus on the
field. Alternatively you may use the
Up and Down arrows to highlight
individual rows (as VIN is in the
figure shown to the right) and then
press the Enter key to activate the
zoom box. If it is supported for that
row, the box will automatically
appear. Tap the Exit icon to close it.

Parameter Value Validity

Three of the four screens (Equipment, Monitor, and Trip) convey
data validity information for a given value. This easily lets you
know whether a given value has been received or is up to date. In
Live mode, if the screen is displaying normal information for a
given parameter, it is the most recently received information. If
the information becomes out of date, the values are displayed in
rReverse Color o. In addition, the fields can contain strings that
convey the validity status of a given parameter. For example,
Disconnected or Unavailable is displayed if the data is not
accessible.

Connection Status
This message field contains information about either the
connection status or the data-saving status. Messages such as
J1939, J1587, No Adapter, Communicating, Datalink Down! and
Saving are phrases displayed in this area of the screen. When
using QUICKCHECK CE, glance at this portion of the screen for an
idea of the current overall status of the application.

44
 Exit Icon
The Exit icon at the top of the screen
is used to close the QUICKCHECK CE
application. Tapping this icon will
display the “Are you sure…” box
shown in the figure to the right.
Clicking ‘Yes’ will exit the
application. Clicking ‘No’ will return
the user to QUICKCHECK CE.

QuickCheck Fault Screen

The Fault screen’s primary purpose is the display of diagnostic
fault codes that are currently recorded on the vehicle. There are
two list boxes which contain the Active and Inactive Faults (if any
are recorded on the vehicle), respectively.
ely. The Current Screen,
Navigation Tabs, Connection Status, and Exit Icon are available on
this screen. Using the Up and Down arrows will traverse through
the fault lists. Once you have reached the bottom of the Active
Fault list, pressing down once morere will expand the Inactive Fault
List. Pressing the Enter key on a selected fault will display the
Fault Description dialog box

Faults Subsystem Selection
Tapping the Fault Subsystem will expand
to show all of the available subsystems
from which faults may be read.

Fault Description Dialog Box

The list box on the Fault Screen shows all
of the active or inactive faults that are
recorded on the current ECM or that are
stored in the current record if Review
mode is activated. Faults are listed as
PID/SID/SPN (see Glossary) and FMI
numbers, along with an abbreviated
textual description of the problem. More
descriptive information can be obtained
from these codes by selecting the row of
the desired fault with the stylus or
pressing the Enter key while the selected row is highlighted. When
a fault code is selected, the Fault Description dialog boxis opened.
The Fault Description dialog box provides more detailed
information about the fault code. This includes a description of the
fault, the Parameter Identifier (PID), Subsystem Identifier (SID),
or Suspect Parameter Number (SPN), the Failure Mode Identifier
(FMI), and the fault occurrence count. This information can be
retrieved on current faults (in Live mode), as well as on fault
records that are stored on the handheld device (in Review mode).
When finished with the Fault Description information, exit this
mode by tapping the OK button on the form.

46
 Active-Inactive Faults
A fault can be either active, which indicates that the conditions
which trigger that fault are currently active, or it can be inactive,
which indicates that conditions have existed in the past to trigger
that fault code, but they no longer exist. Both active and inactive
types of faults can be monitored with the QUICKCHECK CE
application. They are displayed in the Active or Inactive Faults
lists respectively.

Clear Inactive Faults Button

The clear inactive faults button will issue a generic command to
the ECM to remove the current inactive faults from the module.
This will also clear the fault lists and request all of the fault
information again. The Clear Inactive Faults button will be
disabled unless the connected vehicle has inactive faults.

QuickCheck Monitor Screen

The Monitor screen is utilized to display
live analog sensor and engine or
subsystem parameter data, such as
various speeds, temperatures, and
pressures. The units displayed can be
converted to the metric system by using
the QC CONFIGURATOR application.
Depending on the engine or subsystem
model, some SAE parameters may not
be supported on your vehicle. These
may show up as random character values
or as ‘Unavailable.’You may contact the
manufacturer of the engine or subsystem
to verify whether that model supports a particular SAE parameter.
The remainder of the controls and displays on the Monitor screen
are identical to those on the Equipment screen. Refer to the
documentation on those controls for further information.

47
QuickCheck Trip Screen
The Trip screen is utilized to monitor vehicle
trip-related data, such as vehicle distance,
fuel consumed, and speed settings. This is
useful for understanding the vehicle usage.
The units displayed can be converted to the
metric system tapping the Menu Icon at
the top of the screen, then selecting Unit of
Measure

QUICKCHECK CE Basic Tutorial
This section describes a typical data-gathering session. It begins
with collecting (scanning) the data, saving data, reviewing
previously collected data, then downloading the saved data to the
PC using the Windows Mobile Device synchronization process,
and finally how to remove QUICKCHECK CE stored data from the
handheld.
This tutorial assumes the following:
The handheld device will be connected to a vehicle that it has not
been previously connected to.
The user is familiar with handheld device standard operations.
The QUICKCHECK CE cables, adapter, and handheld device have
all been properly connected.

Step 1: Attach the 25-pin connector on the to the

Connecting QUICKCHECK 5600 handheld device. Connect
the appropriate 6-pin or 9-pin Deutsch
connector to the vehicle’s service connector.
The engine should be keyed “ON”. Tap the
QUICKCHECK CE application icon. By default
the Connection Mode is in Live mode. The
QUICKCHECK CE application immediately
attempts to connect to the datalink.

Step 2: Next, verify that you are on the Equipment

screen. If QUICKCHECK CE was entered from
Equipment
the application launcher, Equipment is the
Screen
default screen. If the current screen is other
than Equipment (i.e. Fault, Monitor or Trip),
select the Equipment tab now.

57
Step3: When a successful connection is established,
QUICKCHECK CE displays the status “J1939” or
Equipment 2
“J1587.” If the vehicle is communicating with
ID QUICKCHECK CE, the fields on the Equipment
screen are filled in as information is scanned,
but the Equipment ID field is blank. This field
is populated by the user the first time a vehicle
is scanned. Touch to the right of the
Equipment ID label to enter the desired text.
Using standard Input Panel text methods enter a
name or label that is logical, user friendly, and
easy to remember.
You should still be looking at the Equipment
screen where the engine Make, Model, and
Serial No are listed, along with the VIN,
Software ID, and Total Eng Hrs (engine
hours). If the QC CONFIGURATOR program was
used to configure QUICKCHECK CE to read
subsystem faults or display the Rated Eng Pwr
(engine power) parameter, not all fields will be
visible on the screen at the same time, but they
can be seen by scrolling down through the list.
If a field is displayed as Initial, Unavailable, or
Disconnected after 30 seconds, QUICKCHECK
CE i indicating that this particular piece of
information has not been received on the
datalink or the built-in INLINE 4 may not be
connected correctly. Check your connections to
be sure that this is not the problem.

2
The vehicle's key switch must be in the ON position.

58
Step 4: Next choose Monitor by tapping the Monitor
tab. This screen shows current engine (or
Monitor Screen
subsystem) operating information (sensor
information such as engine speed, coolant
temperature, and oil pressure) in real time, as
they are broadcast. Parameters that are not
supported by a particular ECM version
typically are displayed as ‘Unavailable’ all the
time.

Step 5: Choose the Trip screen (tap the ‘Trip’ tab) and
vehicle trip information will be displayed (for
Trip Screen
example, Maximum Road Speed, Total Fuel
Used, etc.).

3
Step 6: If faults are present, you will see them listed in
Fault Screen the Faults List box located on the Fault screen.
Selecting any fault takes you immediately to a
pop-up that displays more details about the
selected fault.
You can switch between the Equipment, Fault,
Monitor, and Trip screens at any time.
Note: The Equipment screen contains mostly
non-changing information, while the other
screens are continuously updated.

3
The faults shown depend on the setting (Active or Inactive) of the
fault pull-down.

59
Step 7: At this time, tap the icon then Save Data
.
Saving Record menu item Doing this will initiate the
data-saving mechanism of QUICKCHECK CE.
Data The application saves the current values for the
equipment and fault information. This
information is time-stamped and can be viewed
later, even when QUICKCHECK CE is not
connected to the engine.

Step 8: You can view previously stored data on the

Reviewing handheld by selecting Mode->Review menu
item. When Review mode is selected, two
Data
pull-downs are available at the bottom of the
screen: the one on the left chooses the
equipment you want to see, and the one on the
right lists records identified by dates and times
of storage.
Once a piece of equipment is selected, the
other pull-down will contain record entries for
that particular vehicle. This allows you to
select which stored record is currently
viewable.

Step 9: Previously stored data can be deleted while in

Review mode. Choose the equipment and
Deleting
record from the pull-down lists that you want to
Records
delete, then select the Menu Icon . Select
either the ‘Delete Equipment’ or ‘Delete
Record’. Deleting the equipment will remove
the equipment from the equipment pull-down
list and all its records. Deleting the record will
only remove the currently viewed date/time
record from the record pull-down list.

Note: It is recommended to perform a synchronization

operation before deleting any equipment data from the
QUICKCHECK CE application.

QC CONFIGURATOR Basic Tutorial
This section describes a typical configuration session.
It begins with creating a configuration, setting the units,
and finally, saving the configuration.
Selecting Parameters First, launch the QC
and Faults CONFIGURATOR application
from QUICKCHECK CE
Menu icon. The QC
CONFIGURATOR will open to
the default configuration
list, which is the standard set
of parameters for the
QUICKCHECK CE
application. To create a
custom configuration, begin
by tapping the checkboxes
of the desired parameters. If
you would like to re-
configure a previously saved
list, first open the list by
using the Open menu
command and make your
changes to the parameters
checked off on the list, their
subsystem source, and the
subsystem source for the
Faults selector

Saving Lists To save the changes to a

new configuration, you have
three choices: 1) use the
Save As menu option and
create a new file name; 2) if
you had opened a prior user-
defined list, you can use the
Save menu option and QC
CONFIGURATOR will
overwrite the old
configuration.

61
 Exiting Program After the "Saving…Please
Wait" message is gone, you
can quit the program, either
by tapping Exit option in
the Menu Options or tapping
the Exit Icon key in the left
area of your QC5600
handheld display to exit the
program. When you
subsequently bring up the
QUICKCHECK CE
application, it will be
configured with the changes
you just saved using the QC
CONFIGURATOR.

PowerSpec Conduit
The PowerSpec Conduit is part of the PowerSpec PC application
that is handling synchronization between the PC and the QC5600
handheld device. It is automatically started once the device is
connected to the PC using the USB cable.
Cummins SyncReport handles the following:
• Checks the device operating system version and
makes an update if needed.
• Check the version of the POWERSPEC CE and
QUICKCHECK CE and updates to the same version
the PC has installed.
• Moved all reports from the device stores them
under the PC folders:
• Adjust the date and time of the device to be same
as the PC
• Moves all HotSpecs from PC the matches the device

o POWERSPEC CE reports are copied to:
C:\ProgramData\Cummins\PowerSpec5\reports

After the PowerSpec Conduit is done, synchronization results may

be viewed by selecting Sync Details in the PowerSpec PC side
menu.

Transfer Mechanism
When the QC5600 Handheld Computer is connected to the PC
(using the USB cable), synchronization is executed and data is
transferred from the handheld device to the PC.

Data
QUICKCHECK CE stores information in the form of an XML file.
Each XML file is named after the Serial Number of the Engine
(ex., 034535986.xml). If the file already exists on the PC, then the
new information is appended to the existing XML file. A new
time stamp tag is created in the XML file and information (Trip
and Faults) is added under this tag.
Upon a successful synchronization of QUICKCHECK CE data, the
conduit instructs the QC5600 handheld device to remove the
downloaded records from the handheld device, freeing memory
for future downloads or other application data. As a result, all fault
and trip data older than the last synchronization is not available to
be examined on the handheld device – only on the PC.

Location
The location of the Reports output files is as follows:
C:\ProgramData\Cummins\Common\QuickCheck\Reports

Formats
The PowerSpec conduit outputs files in XML format. All information is
saved in a tagged format. The root tag contains the Engine information,
which is common to all other data contained within that file. Fault and

63
Trip information is saved under a Time Stamp tag. The format is shown
below:

Battery
The QC5600 Handheld Computer uses a specially designed
Lithium-Ion battery pack. Proper care and usage of the battery
pack will allow it to hold a charge longer and lengthen its overall
life. The battery life varies in each pack according to storage,
operating conditions and environment.
The battery life is limited and its capacity drops little by little with
use and with time. If the remaining battery time is considerably
shortened, the probable cause is that the battery pack is reaching
the end of its life.

Appendix C: Fault Codes
This section provides information about the engine and vehicle
subsystem fault codes that you may receive from your vehicle.
PID is the parameter identifier. SPN is the suspect parameter
number. SID is the subsystem identifier. FMI is the failure mode
identifier. Each PID, SPN, SID, and FMI is identified by a
number. You may notice some numbers missing from the
following tables, as NOT all numbers have been defined.

PID Number Range Supported

1 - 511*
* - Not all PID numbers are assigned by SAE. If a fault is read by
QUICKCHECK CE with a PID number that is unassigned, it will
have a description indicating either “Reserved - to be assigned” or
“Description Not Available.”

SPN Number Range Supported

1 - 1709*
* - To minimize the size of the QUICKCHECK CE databases, not all
SPN descriptions are supported. If a fault is read by QUICKCHECK
CE with an SPN number that is unassigned by SAE or unsupported
in the database, it will have a description indicating either
“Reserved - to be assigned” or “Description Not Available.”

SID Number Range Supported

1 - 255*
* - Not all SID numbers are assigned by SAE. If a fault is read by
QUICKCHECK CE with an SID number that is unassigned, it will
have a description indicating either “Reserved - to be assigned” or
“Description Not Available.”
