Common Symptoms
- DEF warning lamp illuminated
- Countdown to engine derate (typically 50 hours)
- Low DEF or poor DEF quality warnings
- SCR efficiency drops (NOx emissions up)
- Possible 5 mph limp mode if ignored
Probable Causes (Ranked by Likelihood)
- Contaminated or watered-down DEF Very Likely
- Failed DEF pump or dosing module Likely
- Clogged DEF doser nozzle (urea crystallization) Likely
- Failed DEF quality or level sensor Possible
- DEF tank heater failed (frozen DEF) Possible
- Corroded DEF supply module harness Less Likely
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cummins fault code 2675?
Cummins fault code 2675 indicates: Aftertreatment SCR Inducement Data Erratic. It is a moderate-severity fault in the aftertreatment or emissions system.
Can I drive with Cummins fault code 2675?
Short-term, yes, but the engine will enter derate (typically starting at 55 mph and progressing to 5 mph for emissions faults). Drive directly to a repair facility. Do not defer this fault more than a few operating hours.
How much does it cost to fix Cummins fault 2675?
Repair cost is approximately $300-$1,500 including parts, labor, and any dealer programming required. DIY repairs (sensor replacement) fall at the low end; pump, aftertreatment, or ECM work falls at the high end and usually requires INSITE diagnostic software.
What actually makes the computer set this NOx or SCR code?
California's heavy-duty OBD regulation requires the system to flag a NOx-converting catalyst when its conversion capability drops enough to push NOx emissions more than 0.4 g/bhp-hr above the applicable standard (Title 13 CCR 1971.1, section (e)(6.2.1)) — so on a 0.2 g/bhp-hr engine the trip point is around 0.6. Catalysts in series may be monitored individually or as a group, which is why a code can point at the aftertreatment as a whole rather than at one brick. This threshold comes from the heavy-duty OBD regulation, which covers 2010 and later heavy-duty engines. If your engine is in a pickup at or under 14,000 lb GVWR it is certified under the separate medium-duty rule instead, so treat this as the design intent rather than your engine's exact limit.

Step-by-Step Diagnostic Procedure
Connect INSITE and verify DEF pump pressure builds to spec (around 70-130 psi) during dosing test.
Check DEF quality with a refractometer -- must read 32.5% urea concentration. Replace contaminated DEF.
Inspect DEF doser nozzle tip for urea crystallization -- clean with distilled water, do not use solvents.
Measure DEF tank level and temperature via INSITE; replace failed temp or level sensor if erratic.
Inspect DEF supply lines for kinks, leaks, or crystallization at joints.
If pump fails dosing test for 2675, rebuild or replace DEF pump module and reprime the system via INSITE.
