Detroit DD13 EPA07 (2007-09) Fault Code: SPN 100 FMI 17 (MCM) Very Low Engine Oil Pressure
DESCRIPTION:This fault code sets when the engine oil pressure is less than a calibrated threshold.
MONITORED PARAMETER:Engine oil pressure.
TYPICAL ENABLING CONDITIONS:Always on
MONITOR SEQUENCE:1. Key on2. Engine Running
EXECUTION FREQUENCY:Continuous when enabling conditions are met.
TYPICAL DURATION:Two seconds
DASH LAMPS:CEL
ENGINE REACTION:1. None.2. Engine derate.3. Engine shut down – Calibration dependent.
VERIFICATION:Check at engine operating temperature.
NOTE: Whenever a low engine oil pressure is confirmed the crankshaft main bearings and rod bearings should be inspected for damage or excessive wear.
NOTE: When active, the engine has a 25% derate. Once minimum oil pressure is achieved for a specific time, the fault will go inactive.
PROBABLE CAUSES:1. If any other oil pressure sensor faults, fix those first.2. Oil pressure sensor.3. Oil pressure sensor connector/harness.4. Mechanical failure causing low oil pressure.
