SPN 636 FMI 11 troubleshooting contents

The Detroit fault code sheet walks through these sections and diagnostic steps in order:

  • Fault code identification (SPN 636, FMI 11)
  • Description: monitored parameter, MIL lamp, 2-second duration
  • Disconnect the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor
  • Measure resistance across CKP pins 1 and 2 (774 to 946 ohms)
  • Disconnect the 120-pin MCM2.1 connector
  • Repair the short between the harness connector and MCM2.1 pins 73 and 43

Because these Detroit sheets present pass and fail decision points rather than long narrative, technicians should record each measured value as they proceed and compare it against the limits shown before replacing any control module, harness or sensor.

Applicable truck models covered

This diagnostic applies to Detroit DD Series (EPA 2007-Current) engines built to the GHG14 emissions configuration, covering the DD13, DD15 and DD16 used in Freightliner and Western Star trucks. It references the Motor Control Module (MCM) and Common Powertrain Controller (CPC) that manage the affected circuit. Always confirm engine calibration against the official specification on the Detroit Diesel manufacturer website before condemning any component.
