    The document describes troubleshooting steps for fault code 431 related to the idle validation switch (IVS) circuit on a Cummins engine. The IVS indicates when the accelerator pedal is released or depressed. Potential causes of fault code 431 include a loose or miswired IVS, an uncalibrated accelerator pedal, or issues with the IVS or engine control module connectors. Troubleshooting involves checking IVS and connector components, measuring resistances, and verifying the fault code is inactive after connecting and calibrating components.

    IDLE VALIDATION SWITCH (IVS) CIRCUIT

    CUMMINS

    FAULT CODE: 431


    PID: P091
    SPN: 091
    FMI: 2 or 4

    Idle Validation Switch Circuit

    DESCRIPTION
    The idle validation switch (IVS) is used by the electronic control
    module (ECM) to indicate when the accelerator pedal is released
    (on-idle) or depressed (off-idle). The switch is adjusted by the
    accelerator pedal manufacturers to switch from on-idle to off-idle at
    the correct accelerator pedal position.
    NOTE: The connector pin letters shown for the accelerator pedal
    wiring in these troubleshooting steps are examples of
    representative sensors. The connector pin assignments can vary
    with the equipment manufacturer, but the base troubleshooting
    logic will still apply.
    This fault code is usually caused by a loose connection, uncalibrated
    accelerator pedal, or miswired IVS. A bad ground on pin A of the
    IVS can also cause this fault.

    COMPONENT LOCATION
    The idle validation switch is located on the accelerator pedal
    assembly.

    TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
    Step 1A) Turn key switch OFF and verify the IVS is connected to the OEM harness.

    IVS connected?

    Yes - Go to 1B No - Connect the OEM harness to the IVS


    Go to 3A

    Step 1B) Turn key switch ON and calibrate the accelerator pedal. Depress the accelerator pedal to the full-
    fuel position. Release the accelerator pedal. Repeat this procedure two more times.

    Fault Code 431 active?

    Yes - Go to 1C No - Pedal not calibrated


    Go to 3A

    Step 1C) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the OEM harness from the IVS. Inspect the OEM harness
    and the IVS connectors for the following:
    • Bent or broken pins
    • Pushed back or expanded pins
    • Corroded pins
    • Moisture in or on the connector
    • Missing or damaged seals
    No damaged pins?

    Yes - Go to 1D No - Repair or replace the IVS or OEM harness,


    whichever has the damaged pins
    Go to 3A

    Step 1D) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the OEM harness from the IVS. Check for an open circuit in
    the IVS. Measure the resistance from pin B to pin A on the switch side of the IVS connector with the
    accelerator pedal released, as well as from pin C to pin A.

    Less than 10 ohms?

    Yes - Go to 1E No - Replace the IVS


    Go to 3A

    Step 1E) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the OEM harness from the IVS. Check for a short circuit from
    pin to pin in the IVS. Measure the resistance from pin B to pin C on the switch side of the IVS connector with
    the accelerator pedal released and depressed.

    More than 100k ohms?

    Yes - Go to 2A No - Replace the IVS


    Go to 3A

    Step 2A) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the OEM harness from the ECM. Disconnect the OEM
    harness from the IVS. Inspect the OEM harness and ECM connectors for the following:
    • Bent or broken pins
    • Pushed back or expanded pins
    • Corroded pins
    • Moisture in or on the connector
    • Missing or damaged seals

    No damaged pins?

    Yes - Go to 2B No - Repair or replace the OEM harness or ECM,


    whichever has the damaged pins
    Go to 3A

    Step 2B) Turn key switch ON and disconnect the OEM harness from the ECM. Check the ECM supply.
    Measure the voltage from pin 29 of the OEM harness of the ECM connector to engine block ground.

    (+) 4.75 to 5.25 VDC?

    Yes - Go to 2C No - Replace the ECM


    Go to 3A

    Step 2C) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the OEM harness from the ECM. Disconnect the OEM
    harness from the IVS. Check for a short circuit from pin to pin. Measure the resistance from pins 25 and 26
    of the OEM harness connector to all other pins in the connector.

    More than 100k ohms?

    Yes - Go to 2D No - Replace the OEM harness


    Go to 3A

    Step 2D) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the OEM harness from the ECM. Disconnect the OEM
    harness from the IVS. Check for an open circuit. Measure the resistance from pin 26 on the harness side of
    the OEM harness connector to pin B on the harness side of the IVS connector, as well as from pin 25 on the
    harness side of the OEM harness connector to pin C on the harness side of the IVS connector. Measure the
    resistance from pin A on the harness side of the IVS connector to engine block ground.

    Less than 10 ohms?

    Yes - Go to 2E No - Replace the OEM harness


    Go to 3A

    Step 2E) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the OEM harness from the ECM. Disconnect the OEM
    harness to the IVS. Check for a short circuit from pin to ground. Measure the resistance from pin 25 on the
    harness side of the OEM connector to engine block ground, and from pin 26 on the harness side of the OEM
    connector to engine block ground.

    More than 100k ohms?

    Yes - Go to 3A No - Replace the OEM harness


    Go to 3A

    Step 3A) Connect all components. Turn key switch ON and disable the fault code. Turn key switch ON and
    completely depress and release the accelerator pedal four to five times. Turn key switch OFF for 5 seconds.
    Start the engine, and let idle for 1 minute. Verify that Fault Code 431 is inactive.

    Fault Code 431 inactive?

    Yes - Go to 3B No - Return to troubleshooting steps or contact local


    Cummins Authorized Repair Location if all steps
    have been completed and checked again
    Go to 1A

    Step 3B). Connect all components, turn key switch ON and clear the inactive fault codes using the
    diagnostic tool.

    All fault codes cleared?

    Yes - Repair is complete No - Troubleshoot any remaining active fault codes


    with appropriate troubleshooting steps.
