    I got 2016 Peterbilt 579 , Cummins X15 (03/2015) and my engine light is on. My mechanic checked with Cummins insite and told me it is injector 5 and 6 so they replaced injectors 5 and 6 ,they put a new injector harness , rebuild fuel pump and they put new fuel pressure relief valve . I was driving maybe 80miles and check engine light is on again? Same thing injector 5 and 6 on Cummins insite. Truck is running good empty or loaded . Anyone knows what is the issue? Thanks

    My ESN 79861398 and this time code is 1144 on Cummins Insite . Mechanic did injector test via Cummins Insite and all injectors passed . I don't know what to do next .Truck is running good,loaded or empty ,no issues but check engine light is on.

    We had this issue show up a few times, 1142 was the code, would swap injector location and it would still be the same cylinder, tried reflashing ecm and no change. What it ended up being is the ecm failed.

    I got temporary new ECM and after 50miles check engine light is back on with same code 1144.
    I don't know what else can be wrong , maybe engine harness?

    You still have a wiring issue between the ECM and the injector. I would check pin drag on the engine harness at the ECM. Really easy to use the wrong pins and spread them during diagnosis. And yes you have changed everything else. Put an engine harness on it.

    I got new engine harness and I replaced one exhaust gas pressure sensor and check engine is on again after 70miles . Error code 1144 again . Maybe there's more sensors that need to be replaced?
