SPN 3251 FMI 0 fault summary
It isolates a DPF inlet pressure hose assembly problem by checking the P_DPF_IN sensor voltage, inspecting the hose for kinks and blockage, and road-testing the truck. Every step is laid out as a Yes/No decision branch, so you can follow the same path a Detroit dealer technician would without guessing.
- Disconnecting the DPF inlet pressure hose assembly
- Monitoring P_DPF_IN sensor voltage (0.44 to 0.56 volt)
- Inspecting connectors upstream of the control module
- Checking the hose and fittings for kinks and blockage
- Parked regeneration and road test
- Removing the ATD to check for soot loading
