SPN 3840 FMI 3 description and steps
The SPN 3840 FMI 3 sheet describes the fault as “Frequency Output 4 (Pin 15) Failed High on the CPC4 #4 Connector” and lays out the diagnostic path Detroit expects a technician to follow. Key points from the document:
- Turn the ignition ON (key ON, engine OFF) and connect the diesel diagnostic tool.
- Open the parameters work window and verify the PGR009 frequency-output parameters are set to the configured component, for example a tachometer.
- Configure the parameters properly if they are not correct.
- Repair the open circuit on pin 15 of the CPC4 #4 connector, using Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) wiring schematics.
