Help..In Need of a OPD reader for Cummings Diesel

Was able to get the Cummings dealer from Guadalajara to drive down and bring the proper scan tool. They found some type of sensor that sends signal from gas pedal to engine was defective but was able to reprogram it to get him back to a dealer that would have a replacement part. Thanks to all those who sent in suggestions, it is appreciated.

Contact Grant at La Penita RV Park!

I think that I know who is selling the linked OBD readers. They emailed me from Nigeria last week with an offer to split 3 million dollars if they could access my bank account.

There are lots of shops in your area that can read the codes. Any FL shop or any large bus repair shop. You need to get in a car and drive around. Ask a truck driver at a large Pemex with lots of trucks on the lot. Forget any OBD 2 readers and no auto parts store has the correct reader. As for that link to obd2 readers. That is a load of you know what!!!

The reader that works for the Ram pickup, will not work on his MH chassis. The newer chassis have a round 9 pin port. I believe that his will be the same.

All FL chassis have a port above the radiator in the back and most have one under the dash as well. Either way it will be a round port.

Phone for Cummins in U.S.A.

1-800-343-7357

Cummins in Mexico is affiliated with DINA, they build the big passenger buses, the only place that I find in the Cummins web site is not very helpfull, since you need to be registered.

If all else fails go to the central camionera (passenger bus terminal) and ask the persons there where do they repair the units, they might know the authorized mechanic in town.

Necesitó un taller mecánico que pueda reparar mi casa rodante.

Tiene un motor Cummins, y tiene una luz en el tablero prendida, necesitamos leer el código para repararlo.

Tienen un lector de códigos?


First sentence is:

I need a mechanical repair shop that can repair my motor home.

It has a Cummins engine and has a light turned on the dash, we need to read the code to repair it.

Do you have a code reader?

Even if your is Spanish is rusty, write this down it is correct.

I looked on the internet for a Cummins rep in Mazatlan and in Guadalajara, no luck the only one that shows up is in Tijuana.

Sometimes the reps are Mexican companies that have a different name and represent other makes.

Look in your engine papers, there might be a phone for the U.S. and give them a call.

My check engine light came on so I turn the power off for a couple of minutes coming from the engine batteries to reset.
If there is something wrong the check engine light will come back on. Even computers mess up from time to time. It's worth a try, work for me.
Good Luck

In Mexico I searched for Cummins as well as truck mechanics around Puerto Vallarta. Not much listed. Calling shops and asking questions could help. Truck drivers and bus drivers might have ideas. There are lots of excellent mechanics with proper tools all over Mexico - finding them can be more difficult than in the states. Here are some places I found listings online . . .

Truck = camiones , camione , camion

Repair shop = taller

Mechanic = mecanico

Parts = refacciones

ALSO TRY calling Green Angels hotline at 078.

Another suggestion is find one the bus companies and ask where they get their service. There are LOT of Cummins ISB engines in Mexico. Someone should be able to take care of that. It may take a service call from PV or Guadalaraja. Which will probably have to be prepaid through a bank. Don't ask how we know that. Unless you must. (Scroll down to "The Blog Fodder Run)
