3250 FMI 8 GHG14 fault summary
It treats the GHG14 signal spike as an intermittent wiring concern detected by the ACM2.1, screening for FMI 3 or 4 and wiggle-testing the DOC outlet temperature circuit for spikes. 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.
- Checking for SPN 3250 FMI 3 or 4 first
- Monitoring DOC outlet temp on pin 27
- Wiggle-testing the harness for voltage spikes
- DOC outlet temperature sensor resistance test
- Drag-testing terminals to the ACM2.1
Applicable truck models and engines
