Detroit DD13 EPA10 (2010-13) Fault Code: SPN 1636 FMI 0 (MCM) Charge Air Cooler Low Efficiency
NOTE: This code sets when the Motor Control Module (MCM) detects very high charge air and air intake manifold temperatures.
DESCRIPTION:Charge air cooler (CAC) low efficiency.
MONITORED PARAMETER:Intake manifold and charge air cooler outlet temperature sensors.
TYPICAL ENABLING CONDITIONS:Coolant temperature is above 65°C (149°F).
MONITOR SEQUENCE:None
EXECUTION FREQUENCY:Always enabled
TYPICAL DURATION:10
DASH LAMPS:1. MIL2. CEL
ENGINE REACTION:Derate 10%
VERIFICATION:Road test the vehicle with coolant temperature above 65°C (149°F).
NOTE: The intake air temperature and charger air cooler temperature can increase if the vehicle is driven on steep inclines in lower gears.
POSSIBLE CAUSES:1. Low vehicle speed with high engine load.2. External CAC restriction.3. Internal CAC restriction.4. Fluid intrusion into the CAC.
PROBABLE CAUSES:1. Low vehicle speed with high engine load (steep grade climb).2. Fan operation.3. Winter front in high ambient temperatures.
