SPN 2791 FMI 16 diagnostic overview
This is an informational code set when the engine works under extreme load, high ambient temperature or high altitude. Steps confirm no cooling fault (SPN 110/FMI 0), inspect for exhaust leaks near the EGR system valve actuator, and check the actuator cooler lines and fittings for kinks or plugging. Reading SPN 2791 FMI 16 correctly stops parts being replaced before the wiring and mechanical checks are done.
