SPN 2791 FMI 15 diagnostic overview
This is a silent fault that simply turns the cooling fan on during high-load, high-ambient operation and needs no action. It becomes a concern only when fan-on times are excessive while coolant temperature stays in the normal range, so the sheet still lists the exhaust-leak and cooler-line checks for the EGR system. Reading SPN 2791 FMI 15 correctly stops parts being replaced before the wiring and mechanical checks are done.
Applicable truck models
