SPN 2791 FMI 0 diagnostic overview
This is a silent fault that turns the cooling fan on during high-load, high-ambient operation and normally needs no action. It becomes a concern only when fan-on times are excessive while coolant temperature stays normal, so the sheet still lists exhaust-leak and cooler-line checks for the EGR system. Reading SPN 2791 FMI 0 correctly stops parts being replaced before the wiring and mechanical checks are done.
Applicable truck models
This Detroit DD Series fault code sheet applies to the DD13, DD15 and DD16 engines in the DD Series (EPA 2007-Current) family, covering GHG14 configurations, and the same code also appears in Detroit Series 60 DDEC VI listings. Component removals point to Detroit Power Service Literature, and unresolved cases route to the Detroit Customer Support Center at 800-445-1980.
