Warn Engine. Engine shutting off

Does the oil pressure read good? Are your fluid levels good? The light coming on uphill sounds like your oil level is low or the oil pump is bad but you should see that on the gauge with the needle dropping to zero.

I understand the need to get home but you really shouldn't override a engine multiple times that is shutting down. Overriding is just to get off the highway. If it was a real problem instead of electrical you could be buying a new engine. That's a very expensive chance.

He doesn't sound like a mechanic. That's nonsense.

 

I would check the oil level. I would also check the oil pressure. If the oil is low, then add up to full. If your pressure is lower than normal, then change your oil. You might have a partially clogged oil filter. If that isn't the problem then I would take it to someone who can connect to your cpm. If that doesn't show any problems, I would look for a wire that could be shorting out. It doesn't take much to short out wire.

 

What is the actual code it is logging? What engine and model of truck is this?

 

Also check the coolant level , some of them have a coolant level sensor as the fluid moves away from the sensor it can cause issues , it usually throws a code though

 

If it isn't logging any codes I would say the engine is losing ignition power.

 

Double check antifreeze level.

 

Hello, I've got a 2014 international prostar Cummins isx and the engine is shutting off and blowing smoke, if the driver opens the key the temperature starts going up and on the dash it shows a message saying ABS mode and warn engine with a yellow triangle on

 

These are signs the engine ecm is shutting down with the key on still.
