Circuit Description
The electronic control module (ECM) uses the adaptive power limiter feature to detect when
the engine is producing power greater than the appropriate engine rating.
Component Location
The ECM is located on the left bank side of the engine. Refer to Procedure 100-002
(Engine Diagrams) in Section E for a detailed component location.

Shop Talk
This fault code is most often caused by overfueling. This can cause excessive exhaust
temperatures, turbocharger speed, and boost pressures. The ECM will limit fueling to bring
these readings back to normal range. Fault Code 3132 will log after excessive counts of
Fault Code 327 have occurred.
