Cummins QSK 23 Fuel Shutoff Valve
Remove the nuts securing the electrical connections of the fuel shutoff valve solenoid. Remove the
connections.
Remove the four mounting capscrews.
Remove the solenoid housing, fuel shield, spring washer, valve disc, actuator disc, and actuator
housing.
Note : Do not get solution on the solenoid. Clean the solenoid with a dry cloth. Use
200-grit emery cloth and a flat surface to polish the solenoid surface.
Check the fuel shield, spring washer, valve disc, actuator disc, and actuator housing for dirt,
bonding separation, corrosion, cracks, or wear. Replace any parts if necessary.
Use a wire brush to clean any corrosion from the solenoid terminal posts.
Check the solenoid with a multimeter. Replace the solenoid if the resistance is not to specification.
Note : If the solenoid shows 0 ohms, there is an electrical short in the coil.
Tighten the nuts that hold the electrical connection posts on the fuel shutoff valve solenoid.
Install the actuator housing (7) with the o-ring groove toward the coil (1).
Install the actuator disc (5) with the cup side toward the coil (1).
Place the rubber side to the valve disc (4) on the actuator disc (5).
Install the valve spring (3) with the cup side toward the coil. The inner diameter of the spring (3)
must rest on the pilot diameter of the valve disc (4).
Install the fuel shield (2) and coil (1) on to the front cover (8).
Install the electrical connections on the fuel shutoff valve. Install the nut on the threaded post of the
solenoid.
Use two 3/8 in wrenches. Hold the post of the nut firmly while tightening the connection nut. Repeat
for second terminal.
The coil voltage and part number are cast into the terminal connection end of the coil.
Voltage Check
Use a multimeter to check the voltage to the coil. Measure the voltage from the solenoid's supply
connection to the engine block ground. The multimeter must show battery voltage.
Crank the engine to provide voltage to the fuel shutoff valve terminals.
Once the ECM has received the 50-rpm signal, the voltage will remain supplied to the fuel shutoff
valve until the keyswitch is cycled to the OFF position.
