SPN 655 FMI 14 diagnostic overview
This Detroit EPA07 sheet covers the injector cylinder #5 needle control valve abnormal operation (max), monitored continuously at idle and above, with MIL and CEL lamps and a 25% engine derate. The technician checks for related SPN 168 or 723 codes, warms the engine above 71°C (160°F), and inspects the rear fuel injector harness 14-pin connector. Resistance is measured on the harness and, after removing the rocker cover, on the one-piece fuel injector wiring harness for the three-filter system, then at the Motor Control Module (MCM) 120-pin connector with a test MCM installed using extension harness J-49120.
