Tamerx Diesel Products provides a replacement warranty on all of our parts. The duration and mileage limitations of the warranty vary by product and are specified on the product's detail page/item listing.
Please note that the warranty covers replacement of the part and the cost of shipping the replacement part to you only. It does not cover any shop, labor, towing, or any similar or related costs. This is not a "money back guarantee".
If you experience a problem with your part or it is not functioning properly, the correct warranty procedure is to call us at (510) 257-1777 (8:00 AM - 5:00 PM ET Monday through Friday). Be sure to have your order number and/or other relevant order information ready so we can easily locate your order and resolve your issue as quickly as possible. From that point, we will review with you any troubleshooting steps that may need to be taken and other areas or systems that can be checked to rule out external problems contributing to your part's issue. If a replacement is determined to be necessary, we will then arrange for your replacement part to ship out ASAP and issue any necessary return shipping labels and/or documents.
As is the case for the majority of the diesel products sold on Tamerx Diesel Products, your part's warranty is active as soon as you install it. In some other cases, warranty activation is contingent upon you sending us your core (i.e., your old part). Tamerx Diesel Products will provide you a return shipping label for parts that have a warranty with a core return condition. When we have received your core return, the part's warranty coverage begins. We reserve the right to void the product warranty if your core is not received within the allotted time, or if it isn't received at all. If the warranty for the diesel part you are purchasing has a core return requirement, it will be clearly noted on the product detail page/item listing.
What is a Core Charge?
A core charge (also called "core deposit") is similar to the deposit you might pay for a can or bottle of soda and is a standard requirement in the auto parts industry. For example, in many states, to promote recycling, you pay a deposit when you purchase a can of soda and receive your deposit back when you return the empty can. Many automotive parts have a core charge, or core price, that works in essentially the same way as a soda can deposit.
30 Day Core Charge Hold
You authorize Tamerx Diesel Products, to hold your credit card for the specified core charge amount and that you agree to return your core with 30 days of receiving the purchased part. When we have received your core return, the hold is released and the core charge payment is canceled.
"This Product Doesn't Have a Core"
Engineered for precision monitoring, the Cummins X15 PM Soot Sensor OEM 5461554 is designed to measure particulate matter levels in the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) system of X15 engines built between 2018 and 2025. This genuine OEM component ensures accurate detection of soot accumulation, helping maintain optimal regeneration cycles and emissions compliance. Manufactured to Cummins factory specifications, it provides reliable performance, seamless integration, and long service life in heavy-duty applications. By delivering consistent data to the engine control system, it supports efficient engine operation and reduces downtime. For fleets and technicians, this soot sensor offers OEM-certified quality and dependable reliability for modern emissions systems.

The Cummins X15 PM Soot Sensor OEM 5461554 is an essential part of the engine’s emission control system, designed to help maintain clean exhaust and reliable performance. Used in X15 engines from 2018 to 2025, this sensor monitors the level of particulate matter (soot) in the exhaust stream to keep the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) functioning efficiently.
Main Functions
- Monitors Soot Levels
- Continuously measures the concentration of soot particles in the exhaust gases, giving the engine control module (ECM) real-time data about the condition of the DPF.
- Controls Regeneration Cycles
- Helps the ECM determine when to initiate a regeneration cycle, burning off accumulated soot to prevent filter clogging.
- Protects the Aftertreatment System
- Prevents damage by ensuring soot does not build up beyond safe limits, protecting the DPF and other exhaust components from excessive backpressure.
- Supports Emissions Compliance
- Ensures the engine meets environmental regulations by maintaining efficient soot management and clean emissions.
- Aids in Diagnostics
- Provides data for system monitoring and troubleshooting, helping identify potential exhaust or filter issues early.
The PM Soot Sensor OEM 5461554 acts as the “eye” of the emissions system, allowing the Cummins X15 engine to balance performance, efficiency, and compliance. Without it, the DPF could clog prematurely, leading to higher emissions, reduced efficiency, and costly downtime.
The PM (Particulate Matter) soot sensor is a key component in modern diesel exhaust systems. It monitors soot levels in the exhaust stream and ensures that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is working correctly. When this sensor starts to fail, it can trigger warning lights, reduce efficiency, and lead to costly repairs if not diagnosed quickly.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty PM Soot Sensor
Before diagnosing, look for these warning signs:
- Check engine light or DPF warning light illuminated
- Frequent regeneration cycles or incomplete regens
- Increased fuel consumption
- Reduced efficiency or sluggish engine response
- Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to soot or DPF readings
Step-by-Step: How to Diagnose a Faulty PM Soot Sensor
- Scan for fault codes.
- Use a diagnostic tool to check for DTCs related to the soot sensor (common codes include P24A0, P24A2, or P24AE).
- Inspect the sensor and wiring.
- Check the harness and connectors for corrosion, damage, or loose fittings. The sensor operates in high-heat environments, making it prone to wear.
- Check for soot buildup.
- Remove the sensor and inspect the tip. Heavy soot deposits may interfere with readings and can sometimes be cleaned, depending on manufacturer recommendations.
- Monitor live data.
- With a scan tool, compare soot sensor readings against known good values. If the sensor output is erratic, flatlined, or out of range, it’s likely failing.
- Test voltage and signal.
- Use a multimeter to confirm the sensor is receiving proper voltage and sending feedback to the ECU.
Diagnosing a faulty PM soot sensor requires a combination of visual inspection and electronic testing. If the sensor shows incorrect readings or repeated DPF-related codes, replacement is usually the most reliable solution. Addressing soot sensor issues early helps maintain emissions compliance and prevents costly DPF damage.
It provides real-time soot level data to optimize Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) performance.
Yes, inaccurate readings can disrupt regeneration cycles and trigger fault codes.
They use diagnostic software to compare sensor output with exhaust pressure and temperature data.
Excessive heat, contamination, or moisture exposure can lead to premature failure.
