Fault Code 287 SAE J1939 Multiplexing Accelerator Pedal or Lever Sensor System Error - Received Network Data Error
Page 1 of 8
Circuit Description
Normally, switches, accelerators, and other components are connected to the engine ECM
directly through individual wires. Multiplexing allows those same components to be hard
wired to an OEM Vehicle Electronic Control Unit (VECU) or Transmission ECU in the cab.
Then component values and states from components (such as sensors, accelerators, and
switches) can be transmitted from the OEM VECU to the Cummins engine ECM over the
SAE J1939 datalink.
Messages sent from OEM VECU's or Transmissions ECU's are received by the Cummins
engine ECM and used for controlling the engine. The Cummins ECM and OEM VECU's
must be configured properly so that proper operation of the multiplexed components will
occur.
Component Location
The engine ECM is located on the intake side of the engine. The J1939 datalink wiring and
VECU location varies by OEM.

This fault can occur when the OEM VECU detects an error on the accelerator and or idle
validation switch. The ECM has been set up properly (components enabled and OEM
VECU source addressed correctly) to receive multiplexed information for the idle validation
switch states and accelerator position over the J1939 datalink from an OEM VECU, and the
OEM VECU is transmitting the message for that component.
The three types of errors that can occur for this fault are:
z When the accelerator is depressed and the OEM VECU reads accelerator position as
greater than 0%, but the idle validation switch indicates it is in the idle position. This
fault status is transmitted to the Cummins ECM on the J1939 datalink, which causes
this fault to occur in the Cummins ECM.
z When the accelerator is released and the OEM VECU reads accelerator position as
0%, but the idle validation switch indicates it is not in the idle position. This fault
status is transmitted to the Cummins ECM on the J1939 datalink, which causes this
fault to occur in the Cummins ECM.
z The OEM VECU determines that the accelerator signal line is shorted high or shorted
low.
NOTE: It is still possible to get a Fault Code 285 or 286 if there is an incorrect setup in the
OEM VECU or Cummins ECM, for other components, or the accelerator and idle validation
switch, or if the datalink is damaged. OEM configurations must multiplex the accelerator
and idle validation switch inputs together to allow the use of the J1939 multiplexing and
limp home feature for these components. INSITE™ can be used to monitor multiplexed
components.
Troubleshooting Steps
STEPS SPECIFICATIONS
STEP 1. Check the fault codes.
STEP 1A. Check for an active Fault Code 287 is active?
fault code.
STEP 2. Check the OEM VECU and engine
ECM for proper multiplexing
configuration.
STEP 2A. Determine which VECU Does the ECM multiplexing
multiplexed components configuration match the OEM VECU
(switches, accelerators, or multiplexing configuration?
sensors) are enabled for
multiplexing over the J1939
datalink to the engine ECM and
compare to the engine ECM
configuration.
STEP 3. Monitor the accelerator
parameters with INSITE™
electronic service tool.
STEP 3A. Determine if the idle Throttle Status/Idle Validation
validation switch and or parameter displays released and
accelerator parameters are being Percent Throttle parameter displays a
