The Detroit stop engine override troubleshooting sheet documents Detroit fault code SPN 1237 FMI 4, which sets when the stop engine override switch has a short circuit to ground. This 1-page PDF belongs to the Detroit DD Series (EPA 2007-Current) DTC library and guides a technician through the confirmation and repair sequence for the code. It is drawn from Detroit Power Service Literature and republished by TruckFaultCodes.com (2017).
It explains that the fault indicates a short to ground on pin 15 of the CPC4 #1 connector, notes that CPC4 digital outputs share SPNs with some MCM2.1 faults so the diagnostic tool makes the distinction, and directs the technician to OEM wiring schematics for the affected circuit.
