The engine dataplate shows specific facts about your engine. The dataplate is typically
located on the engine rocker cover, but may be located on the side of the gear housing.
The engine serial number (ESN) and control parts list (CPL) provide data for ordering
parts and service. The engine dataplate must not be changed unless approved by
Cummins Inc.

Have the following engine data available when communicating with a Cummins®
Authorized Repair Location. The information on the dataplate is mandatory when
sourcing service parts.
Note : The engines covered by this manual are produced worldwide. The
dataplates used on engines can differ in appearance and location of
information. The following illustrations show examples of common dataplates
used and the information contained on the dataplate.

3. Horsepower and rpm rating.

If the engine dataplate (1) is not readable, the engine

serial number (2) can be identified. The engine serial
number location varies by engine plant. Check the
engine block on top of the lubricating oil cooler housing.
The engine serial number could also be located at the
front face of the engine block. Additional engine
information is available by reading the engine control
module (ECM) dataplate.

Marine Applications
The engine dataplate provides important information GRAPHIC NOT
about the engine. The engine serial number (ESN) and FOUND

control part list (CPL) provide information for service and

for ordering parts. The engine dataplate must not be
changed unless approved be changed unless approved
by Cummins Inc.

Have the following engine data available when communicating with a Cummins
AuthorizedRepair Location:

Cummins® Engine Nomenclature

All Applications Except Marine
The Cummins® engine nomenclature provides the data
as illustrated in the graphic.

Marine Applications
The Cummins MerCruiser Diesel engine nomenclature
provides the engine model, displacement in liters and
horsepower rating.

Fuel Injection Pump Dataplate

The Bosch® fuel injection pump dataplate is located on
the fuel pump. The dataplate contains the following
information:

• Pump serial number

CM840/CM850 (CM2850)/CM2100 ECM

The ECM dataplate shows information about the ECM and how the ECM was
programmed. The dataplate is located on the ECM.

The following information is available on the ECM dataplate:

• ECM part number (PN)

• ECM serial number (SN)
• ECM date code (DC)
• ESN
• ECM code: Identifies the software in the ECM.
Note : Have the ECM code for your engine available when communicating
with a Cummins® Authorized Repair Location.
Note : The presence of an ECM dataplate depends on the manufacturing
plant and the date the engine was manufactured. If an ECM dataplate was
not installed by the manufacturing plant, calibration data can be found on the
engine dataplate.
