SPN 1761 FMI 1 is the Detroit DD-series code for an empty Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) tank (level 0) after warnings were ignored, and this sheet states the tank condition, the engine reaction and the refill procedure that clears it. It is a status warning, not a wiring fault.

SPN 1761 FMI 1 troubleshooting steps
This fault indicates the DEF tank is empty and the warning lamps have been ignored; a 25% engine derate and a 5 mph speed limit are in effect, with the enabling condition of DEF tank level below 2.5%. Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) must be added to the tank, a minimum of one-quarter tank. After refilling, idle the engine for about five minutes to let the level reading update. If the fault does not go inactive or the dash lamp stays on after the refill and idle, the sheet directs you to OEM literature for DEF level sensor diagnostics rather than continuing to add fluid.
Applicable truck models
This warning applies to Detroit DD-series engines — DD13, DD15 and DD16 on the EPA 2007-current platform with SCR aftertreatment — and shares its SPN/FMI structure with related Series 60 DDEC VI applications. Confirm the emissions calibration (EPA07, EPA10 or GHG14) and DEF quality before acting. For engine serial-number and calibration confirmation, use the Detroit Diesel official support site.

Drivers, dispatchers and shop technicians use this sheet to understand a DEF low-level warning, the derate it triggers and the simple refill-and-idle step that clears it before any sensor is condemned.
