SPN 4193 FMI 17 troubleshooting steps
- Monitored parameter is the coolant inlet temperature sensor; enabling conditions are engine speed 500-2500 RPM, coolant temperature above 65°C (149°F), battery voltage above 11 VDC and the engine running for more than 60 seconds.
- Confirm no cooling-system issues are present, and repair any that are found before continuing.
- Warm the engine to operating temperature 185°F (85°C); if it will not reach that temperature, replace the engine cooling-system thermostat per Power Service Literature.
- Shut the engine off, disconnect the inlet and outlet coolant sensors and inspect the harness connectors for bent, spread or corroded pins.
- Check coolant-sensor resistance against the specification chart and replace any sensor that reads out of range.
