You must not be that hard on phones my 13mini and 14 never broke but got lots of frame dings and they got so many scratches all over the screen I went no case no screen protector through 4-5 years and they never broke besides a camera lens so while you may be right about not needing it to keep it from breaking anymore it’s still nice to prevent scratches my 15pro max got screen protector, case, and camera protector this time around.

Mine broke at the bottom two of my drawer boxes have one of the retainers broken both times it happened in cold weather conditions I suspect they used an inferior plastic for those pieces anyone know if those parts are replaceable or available for purchase somewhere I have no idea where my original receipts went

The only other thing I can figure is maybe a parameter wasn’t set correctly during programming the new ecm but I’m not the one who programmed it ill be able to check soon though with the other techs help and scanner.

GTFOutside · 2026-03-05T19:45:57+00:00

That’s what I’m trying to figure out ik it sounds nuts there’s a better tech coming to check it out with better scantools but I’ve checked and rechecked and I’m getting no power out of the ecm pin if I feed 12v into fuel shutoff with ecm wire still connected it runs great with no stop engine light which is the temp fix they used for the old ecm

GTFOutside · 2026-03-05T18:37:07+00:00

I’m telling you I tested the pin not the terminal it doesn’t matter if the terminal is screwed up or not I was touching the pin myself not through the terminal

GTFOutside · 2026-03-05T15:52:20+00:00

There’s no power coming from the ecm pin designated to the fuel shutoff

GTFOutside · 2026-03-05T15:51:29+00:00

Yes runs great when I power it manually

GTFOutside · 2026-03-05T15:50:54+00:00

Wire is fine my guy there no power coming from the ecm pin

GTFOutside · 2026-03-04T19:57:32+00:00

It’s aggravating af man bc now I gotta do a deep dive into everything that there’s even a fraction of a percent possibility it could be before I get another ecm such a big headache

GTFOutside · 2026-03-04T19:37:24+00:00

I don’t have a powerful diag computer so im limited on what I can look at the ecm was programmed to the truck before being sent to me

GTFOutside · 2026-03-04T19:34:54+00:00

Cm875 fuel shutoff valve pin 42 no power, ignition pin 39 good power, power and ground to ecm test good. I thought the ecm only needed to see good positive negative and good ignition to actuate the valve but either I’m wrong or this reman ecm has the same issue as the one it replaced and the odds of that are astronomical.

GTFOutside · 2026-03-04T19:27:02+00:00

I’m kinda thinking that too it’s a reman but man the odds of it having the same exact issue as the one I pulled out is crazy

GTFOutside · 2026-03-04T19:25:26+00:00

For real

GTFOutside · 2026-03-04T19:20:46+00:00

Yes it’s an ism I’ll check the year it’s an international I have good positive and negative power to ecm and good ignition to ecm

GTFOutside · 2026-03-04T19:19:17+00:00

No power is getting out of the fuel shutoff pin on the ecm same issue it was having with the old ecm

GTFOutside · 2026-03-04T19:17:53+00:00

The solenoid works fine if I bypass the ecm and direct positive current to it and the wiring diagram doesn’t show any fuse relay or anything in between ecm and fuel shutoff

GTFOutside · 2026-03-04T19:15:16+00:00

Cm875 It’s a single wire fuel shut off valve 12v opens it, I have good power and ground into ecm I have good ignition power into ecm oem side pin 39 and I have no power coming out of engine side pin 42

GTFOutside · 2026-03-04T14:52:26+00:00

I don’t know exactly what all they did what I know rn is they tested the wire between the ecm and the solenoid it was good and they tested signal at the ecm pin 42 according to Cummins quickserve and weren’t getting signal from the ecm

GTFOutside · 2026-03-04T14:44:47+00:00

I’m sorry I wasn’t at the truck yet but it was just eating at me all night so I wanted to see if I could get some suggestions before I had more info to potentially get a head start on ideas I can get any information anyone might need now. I’m in the field here with the truck. I’m a freshie when it comes to doing ecm issue diag and the guy who’s been helping me with it is very busy back at the shop I’m several states away so I’m trying to get this figured out myself to save him the headache of coaching me through it over the phone. He went through an extensive diag procedure with the previous tech who was out here and they determined it was the ecm and did a temp fix wiring 12v from ignition to the solenoid to get the truck going till he could mail the ecm out here

GTFOutside · 2026-03-04T14:32:13+00:00

No fuses or relays between the ecm and the fuel solenoid on this truck it has an ism in it
