Section 27.3
SPN 100/FMI 3
This diagnosis is typically an Engine Oil Pressure Sensor short-to-power fault.
Section 27.3.1
Short to Power Check
Check as follows:
- Turn the ignition ON (key ON, engine OFF).
- Check for multiple codes.
- If 100/3, 175/3, 1172/3 and 1176/3 are present, repair the open between pin 105 of the 120–pin connector and the associated sensors. Refer to "27.3.1.1 Verify Repairs" .
- If 100/3 and 175/3 are present, go to step 7 .
- If only 100/3 is present, go to step 2 .
- Turn the ignition OFF.
- Disconnect the Engine Oil Pressure/Temp Sensor.
- Disconnect the 120–pin MCM connector.
- Measure the resistance between pins 3 and 4 of the combination sensor harness connector.
- If resistance is less than 5 Ω, repair short circuit between 120-pin MCM connector wires 54 and 82. Refer to "27.3.1.1 Verify Repairs" .
- If resistance is greater than 5 Ω, repair the short to power on the circuit between pin 54 of the 120–pin MCM connector and pin 4 of the Engine Oil Pressure/Temp Sensor harness connector. See Figure "Engine Oil Pressure/Temp Sensor" . Refer to "27.3.1.1 Verify Repairs" .
- Disconnect the Engine Oil Pressure/Temp Sensor.
- Measure the resistance between pin 1 and 3 of the Engine Oil Pressure/Temp Sensor.
- If resistance is less than 140 Ω, go to step 9 .
- If resistance is greater than 140 Ω, replace the sensor. Refer to "27.3.1.1 Verify Repairs" .
- Turn the ignition ON (key ON, engine OFF).
- Measure the voltage between pin 3 of the combination sensor and ground.
- If the voltage is less than 2.75 volts, repair the open circuit between pin 82 of the 120–pin MCM connector and pin 3 of the Engine Oil Pressure/Temp Sensor. See Figure "Engine Oil Pressure/Temp Sensor" . Refer to "27.3.1.1 Verify Repairs" .
- If the voltage is less than 2.75 volts, repair the open circuit between pin 105 of the 120–pin MCM connector and pin 1 of the Engine Oil Pressure/Temp Sensor. See Figure "Engine Oil Pressure/Temp Sensor" . Refer to "27.3.1.1 Verify Repairs" .

Verify Repairs
Verify repairs as follows:
- Turn ignition OFF.
- Reconnect any electrical connections that were disconnected to perform the diagnosis.
- Clear codes with DDDL 7.0 or latest version.
- Start and bring engine up to operating temperature (over 140°F/60°C).
- Verify operation is satisfactory and no warning lamps illuminate. If warning lamps illuminate, troubleshoot the codes. If assistance is required, call the Detroit Diesel Customer Support Center at 313–592–5800.
