SPN 701 FMI 3 diagnostic overview
This one-page Detroit sheet documents a short to power on the pin 08 circuit of the CPC4 #3 connector, described as the Top 2 shift solenoid condition. The Common Powertrain Controller (CPC4) digital outputs share the same number as some Motor Control Module (MCM2.1) faults, so the diesel diagnostic tool is used to confirm the fault is on the CPC4 side. The document points to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) literature for the wiring schematic.

Applicable truck models covered
This diagnostic applies to Detroit DD Series (EPA 2007-Current) engines using the CPC4 controller, with the code also cross-listed under the Series 60 (DDEC VI – EPA 2007) DTC group. It targets a shift solenoid output on the CPC4 #3 connector rather than an engine sensor. For the OEM wiring schematics referenced in this procedure, see the official Detroit engine manufacturer site.
