Cummins fault code 4725
Auxiliary Input/Output 2 Circuit: circuit grounded / current high
What it means
Cummins' description: Auxiliary Input/Output 2 Circuit - Current above normal or grounded circuit.
SPN 702 is Auxiliary I/O #02. FMI 6 means too much current is flowing in the circuit, usually a wire rubbed through to ground or a shorted component.
These codes cover extra inputs and outputs the ECM controls or monitors: auxiliary temperature and pressure sensors, relays, lamps, and generator or equipment controls on off-highway and generator engines.
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
An auxiliary code for an accessory that isn't used on your truck.
Schedule a repair
An accessory, gauge or lamp not working with the code set. Fix the circuit when convenient.
Stop and get help
The code is tied to a shutdown or protection relay. Have it checked before relying on that protection.
Common causes
FMI 6 is an electrical or signal fault, so start with the circuit:
- Relay or driver circuit open or shorted
- Auxiliary sensor or wiring fault
- Equipment-side switch or gauge wiring problem
If the circuit checks out, the reading may be real. Other possibilities: real reading from the equipment the input is monitoring.
What you can check before calling
- Find out what the auxiliary input is wired to on your truck or equipment
- Check connectors and relays in that circuit
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 4725 mean?
Cummins fault code 4725 is J1939 SPN 702 FMI 6: Auxiliary Input/Output 2 Circuit - Current above normal or grounded circuit. In plain terms: auxiliary input/output 2 circuit: circuit grounded / current high.
Can I keep driving with Cummins code 4725?
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 4725?
SPN 702 identifies the part or system (Auxiliary I/O #02). FMI 6 describes the type of failure: circuit grounded / current high.
What usually causes Cummins code 4725?
The most common causes are: relay or driver circuit open or shorted; auxiliary sensor or wiring fault; equipment-side switch or gauge wiring problem.
