Cummins fault code 3371
Turbocharger 1 Compressor Intake Temperature Sensor: network data error
What it means
Cummins' description: Turbocharger 1 Compressor Intake Temperature Sensor - Received Network Data In Error.
SPN 1172 is Engine Turbocharger 1 Compressor Intake Temperature. FMI 19 means data received over the vehicle network was flagged as bad by the module that sent it.
The engine ECM talks to the transmission, ABS, dash and aftertreatment modules over the J1939 data network. These codes mean the ECM itself, its calibration, or its communication with other modules has a problem.
What the lamp means
An amber (yellow) warning lamp means the engine can usually keep running, but the fault should be repaired soon, ideally the same day.
Green, yellow, red: three ways this can look
The same code can be a quick fix or a reason to shut down. Match your situation to the closest example.
Keep an eye on it
A network timeout logged once, often during cranking, that cleared.
Schedule a repair
Gauges dropping out, the transmission or ABS acting odd, or codes returning. Book diagnosis. These can go from annoying to stranded quickly.
Stop and get help
Red lamp for an ECM internal failure, or the engine won't start or shuts down. Get it towed or seen where it sits.
Common causes
The sensor reading itself is out of range or the condition is real, so look at the system:
- ECM calibration doesn't match the vehicle or another module
- ECM internal failure
What you can check before calling
- Note which other systems acted up: gauges, transmission, ABS
- Check for recent electrical work or aftermarket devices plugged into the diagnostic port
- Check batteries and grounds
Clearing the code without fixing the cause usually brings it right back, and on emissions systems it can restart derate timers.
Engines and sources
Cummins uses the same fault code numbers across its electronic engines, including on-highway models like the ISB/B6.7, ISL/L9 and ISX/X15, though not every code applies to every engine or software level.

Questions
What does Cummins fault code 3371 mean?
Cummins fault code 3371 is J1939 SPN 1172 FMI 19: Turbocharger 1 Compressor Intake Temperature Sensor - Received Network Data In Error. In plain terms: turbocharger 1 compressor intake temperature sensor: network data error.
Can I keep driving with Cummins code 3371?
Usually for a short time, if the engine runs normally and no other warnings are on. Get it diagnosed soon, because many amber codes lead to a derate if ignored. Look at the green, yellow and red examples on this page to judge your situation.
What is the SPN and FMI for Cummins code 3371?
SPN 1172 identifies the part or system (Engine Turbocharger 1 Compressor Intake Temperature). FMI 19 describes the type of failure: network data error.
What usually causes Cummins code 3371?
The most common causes are: eCM calibration doesn't match the vehicle or another module; eCM internal failure.
