The Kenworth Truck Company is an American truck manufacturer, founded in 1923 as the Gersix Motor Company. Kenworth is a top brand, manufacturing heavy-duty trucks in the Class 8 category and medium-duty trucks in Class 5-7 commercial vehicles. Since 1945, Kenworth has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of PACCAR, operating along with subsidiary yet fierce competitor Peterbilt Motors.
Kenworth has been a market leader on several fronts and has scored several firsts. It was the first company to launch an aerodynamic body design for heavy-duty trucks as well as a raised-roof sleeper cab making for driver comfort. The Kenworth W900 has been the longest-serving truck in automotive history, with production starting first in 1961.
Coming to the modern era, in 2013, Kenworth introduced the T680 third-generation aerodynamic conventional model replacing the T660 and the T700 wide-body truck. Later, the company launched the T880 model which is the first wide-body truck for vocational applications.
With so many models of Kenworth trucks ruling the roads today, you need diagnostic software that ensures that your fleet is always on the road with a minimum of downtime. This and more are provided by the Jaltest maintenance tool and Kenworth fault code list to help you identify any issue at the root to take corrective action before it becomes a full-blown problem.

Once you have the Jaltest Kenworth diagnostic software on your laptop, drop the service manuals and use the tool to keep your fleet of Kenworth trucks in peak performance mode.
Optimizing Performance With the Kenworth Engine Fault Codes
Clearing Paccar engine fault codes
The Jaltest Kenworth diagnostic tool for heavy and medium-duty has several troubleshooting and maintenance options. The Kenworth engine fault codes are specially designed for Paccar and Cummins engines, the two most common propulsion systems for Kenworth trucks.
Typically, Paccr engines are complex to work with but that is not an issue when you use the Jaltest diagnostic and maintenance software. All that you have to do is connect the software to the vehicle and set parameters, take live measurements, and read and clear Kenworth engine fault codes.
Jaltest maintenance tool offers comprehensive coverage for MS11 – MX13 Paccar engines. All critical information is displayed on the software laptop to help you carry out full system scans to check central computers, chassis trouble, electronic modules, climate HVAC, lighting, instrument clusters, and more.
On the other hand, you can carry out scans by symptoms and select parameters from the drop-down menu. Among the wide range of functionalities available for Paccar engines are changing parameters for fuel consumption, power take-off control, activating and deactivating conditions of the brake pedal, engine speed control, and many others.
Further, our maintenance tool offers deep coverage of Paccar body modules and actuate components like switches and lights to test different functions and set parameters that optimize the performance of your Kenworth truck.
Clearing Cummins engine fault codes
The Jaltest Kenworth engine fault codes provide deep coverage of Cummins engines too ranging from X-15 to L9 medium-duty trucks and clearing the fault codes is not a very complex activity. Among the activities that you can carry out are system checks, calibrating VGTs and turbos, and performing system and after-treatment checks.
The benefit for you is that you are handheld throughout the fault code reading and clear process through detailed wiring diagrams and maintenance data. This allows you to set metrics like maximum speed and idle speed and perform thorough checks on EGR and fuel systems.
With the Jaltest Kenworth trouble code reader, clearing fault codes of Cummins engines is not difficult. You can carry out system checks, calibrate VGTs and turbos, perform system and after-treatment checks, and more. All diagrams and maintenance data are before you as you set parameters like maximum speed and idle speed, and perform checks on fuel and EGR systems.
In our user-friendly diagnostic menu, our Extra-High-Pressure Injection and Common Rail has a dashboard with all system technical information, vehicle data, diagrams, and required technical information. All these are vital to performing full system scans of the Kenworth fault code list for Cummins engines, allowing you to monitor, maintain, calibrate, configure, and actuate components.
Forced regens For Kenworth engines
Regardless of whether you are clearing Kenworth engines fault codes for Paccar or Cummins engines, or for any other, force regens is a maintenance activity that is essential to make sure that your Kenworth truck engine does not seize up while on the job. Force regens for diesel engines is a complex activity that is made easy by the Jaltest software.
When soot builds up in the diesel particulate filter and it is not cleared the truck might go into limp mode. With our diagnostic tool, you can measure the soot in the DPF and take quick action. The software automatically measures the extent of soot in the DPF and sets corrective settings such as High or Very High as the situation demands.
Together with tracking soot build up in the diesel particulate filter in the forced regens activity, our maintenance tool also measures the temperature of the exhaust gasses and ensures that along with the input pressure they are within set parameters.

Technical Information While Clearing Kenworth Fault Codes List
The advantage of the Kenworth diagnostic codes from Jaltest is that it has a very user-friendly dashboard that helps users easily navigate the various components and systems of Kenworth trucks. All issues, even the smallest ones are identified from the Kenworth fault code list and rectified before they become a major problem and take your trucks off the road.
For example, consider the Allison 3000 transmission fault codes comprehensively covered by our software. This Allison diagnostic scanner helps to actuate components such as solenoids, read faults, set parameters, and calibrate clutches. The same is applicable for Allison 4000, Paccar, and Eaton transmissions too. Among the technical information offered by the Kenworth fault code list are component replacement instructions, and repair times that help you evaluate how soon the fault code will be cleared and your truck will be back on the road again.
Diagnosing Kenworth Fault Code List
You require the right tools and knowledge to diagnose the Kenworth fault code list and implement the most precise and effective solutions. Each fault code has a specific attribute and meaning and understanding them is critical to carry out the exact solutions required. However, once the Kenworth fault codes are interpreted, they should not be ignored as it might lead to severe mechanical problems.
Our Jaltest software identifies the Kenworth fault code list, regardless of whether they are related to the Kenworth engine fault codes, the Kenworth T680/T880 fault codes, or any other. It is always advisable to carry out periodical full system scans with the Jaltest maintenance tool as a preventive measure.
You can identify any pending fault codes and resolve them before they become permanent ones. A lot of resources, time, money, and effort can be saved through preventive maintenance as well as minimize the chances of them cropping up again.
Here are some examples from the Kenworth fault code list to give you a better idea of what they are. When a fault code is shown on the display panel in a Kenworth truck, it will look like this and the fault may be identified from our Jaltest software.
P101: BPV position fault while the engine is in the SCR heating mode
P101C: BPV position fault while the engine is not in SCR heating mode
P101E: BPV CAN sensor overload
P1022: BPV CAN sensor current is too high
P1024: BPV CAN sensor power supply fault
As you can see, there are hundreds of Kenworth fault codes and once one is identified, our software will guide you through the rectification solutions too by informing you about them.
