I can't speak to the CNH scenario, but I do know that on Dodge trucks, you can't speak to a Cummins engine with Cummins software on anything 2003 and later.
This is incorrect. I have connected directly to the Cummins engine in a 2016 Ram truck using an Inline adapter and Insite software. You need to connect to the J1939 backbone on the engine. The 3 position (2 wire) weatherpack style connector hangs out under the intake manifold "intake" on the left side of the engine. I made a weatherpack to Deutsch adapter harness to connect to the Inline 6. Used Insite to pull codes, clear codes, run outputs like the DEF pump, and do forced regens.
Not sure exactly, but I'd say that connector is likely to exist on 2013 - 2018 Ram trucks. Not sure on older and newer.
Just about any common rail Cummins engine has that J1939 bus, but not all applications break it out into a connector. Off road applications typically have the 3pin triangular DT connector, can often find it if you look close enough. I haven't connected to any ISX engines, but my understanding is the truck engines also have the backbone connector under the hood so you don't have plug in the cab if you only need to access the engine.
One difference in the pickup truck engines is they have locked bootloaders. Calterm cannot flash new programming, unless you get around the bootloader first, several methods do exist. Have not tried it, but I assume Insite/Incal cannot flash updated calibrations into a pickup engine for the same reason. And yes, the pickup engines WERE on the Incal disks at one point in time, but last I checked they are not on there anymore, as of the last several years or so. |
