SPN 91 FMI 7 diagnostic overview
SPN 91 FMI 7 is set when the two-channel accelerator pedal idle position is not recognized. The technician monitors Accelerator Pedal Position voltage, cycles the pedal through a full sweep, and wiggles the pedal and harness to simulate vibration before deciding to replace the pedal. Where the fault will not clear, the guide directs the technician to obtain a log file and contact the Detroit™ Customer Support Center at 800-445-1980. Each step is written as a yes or no decision, so the result of one measurement points directly to the next check or to the final repair action.
Applicable truck models and engines
It applies to Detroit DD13, DD15 and DD16 engines in the DD Series (EPA 2007 to current) family, and the library also carries the matching guide for the Series 60 (DDEC VI) platform. For factory support tools and warranty information, see Demand Detroit official resources.
