Cummins ILS9 CA emmision certified?

Are all 2012 and newer Cummins ILS engines used in motor homes California emission certified?

I'm in the process of trying to get my Phaeton California registered and the DMV wants proof that it is CA certified. I was under the impression that all of these large Cummins engines were CA certified.

Wrong?

Anybody know for sure?

  • Your Cummins has and engine ID label on the side of the timing cover (viewed sideways) that gives HP, Torque, Eng. S/N.
  • If it is a 2012 Cummins engine, they are all certified emission compliment to all of the US market.
  • Your driver's side is my passenger side. So, do I look on passenger side?
  • Usually a white tag on the driver's side of the valve cover with the serial #.
  • Yes, I do have build sheet, but the engine is not listed. It was on my previous coach, but is not on this one.

    I believe the serno for the engine is on the label that located on top of the timing chain cover. Unfortunately, it is at such an angle that I can't read it from up on top. It looks like I can come up from under the coach...but it's gonna be a tight and dirty squeeze.
  • Did you possibly get a build sheet with the coach when you bought it?

    If you did, it would have the model and S/N listed for everything on your coach including tires, engine, trans, .. everything.

    I'm sure someone here will step up with the location of the S/N for that engine if you don't have a build sheet.
  • Yeah, that's probably what i will have to do. I'm sure, however, that they will want the engines serial number and i don't have that, nor do I know how to get it.

    Any ideas
