SPN 3246 FMI 15 is the Detroit DD Series (EPA 2007-current) diagnostic fault sheet for the DPF temperature rise (description reference) condition on the DPF outlet temperature sensor circuit. This is a short description-only reference for the code; it defines the DPF temperature rise diagnostic and directs technicians to contact the Detroit Customer Support Center at 800-445-1980 for the full procedure. The sheet is written for heavy-duty technicians who pull this diagnostic trouble code with a diesel diagnostic tool and need the confirmed factory step order rather than guesswork.
