In modern diesel engines, keeping emissions in check means more than just injecting urea and burning clean. You also need to monitor what’s left behind—and that’s where the particulate matter (PM) sensor comes in. The Cummins ISL, QSB, QSL PM Sensor (2017–2024), OEM-matched 5461557, plays a vital role in your emissions diagnostics. Without a properly functioning PM sensor, your engine control system may misjudge soot load, trigger false warnings, or enter fault modes—exactly when you least want trouble.
-
Measures the soot concentration (particulate accumulation) in the exhaust stream, giving the ECU real-time feedback
-
Enables DPF regeneration timing decisions, telling the system when to burn off built-up particulates
-
Helps prevent fault codes, warning lights, or limp modes caused by errant or drifting sensor data
-
Designed to meet OEM 5461557 specifications for reliable performance and accurate readings
-
Built to handle harsh exhaust conditions—temperature extremes, vibration, and exposure to soot and exhaust gases
-
Easy to integrate into existing wiring harnesses and diagnostic systems
Your emissions control strategy only works when its sensors are accurate. Replacing a failing or aged sensor with the correct OEM 5461557 PM Sensor restores confidence in soot readings, supports better regeneration strategies, and helps avoid surprise emission faults. It’s a small part—but for your ISL, QSB, or QSL engine, it’s a key guardian of clean, dependable operation.
