Had CEL pop on last night and this is code it gave me. Truck kept running good and Ive made it to KW dealer in WY. Was told theyre too busy and got sent to Peterbilt. Tech diagnosed it, checked crankcase filter and told me its "lifetime" filter, never have to replace it. He even showed me how it looks like and then it made sense.
Replaced crankcase pressure sensor and I was on my way.
Cummins ISX15 crankcase pressure

Life time filter my arse! My shop replaces that filter every 3rd service..
Unless something just recently changed on the ISX......I was told every 100k on that filter from a Cummins dealer.noluck Thanks this. -

We'd see that happen on small industrial Cummins engines. Crankcase filter plugs up with ice in winter and sets off a code. We would change that filter ever 1000-1500 hours.

Cool...no more nasty plugged filter!
bzinger and dustinbrock Thank this. -
2k miles and CEL came back on again. I pulled over, checked sensor, oil, gsuges and everything seemed ok. Restarted and no CEL, drove another 40 miles to truck stop. Called cummins and was told it must be sensor, I said it was just replaced.
Well we'll have to diagnose it...
Not sure what I can do at this point
