SPN 110/FMI 4
The diagnostic condition is typically engine coolant temperature short to ground.
Section 29.4.1
Short to Ground Check
Check as follows:
- Disconnect the ECT Sensor.
- Disconnect the 120–pin MCM connector.
- Measure the resistance across pins 1 and 2 of the ECT Sensor connector. See Figure
"Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor"
.

Figure 1. Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
- If resistance is greater than 5 Ω, go to step 4 .
- If resistance is less than 5 Ω, repair short to ground between pins 73 and 110 of the 120-pin MCM connector. Refer to "29.4.1.1 Verify Repairs" .
- Measure the resistance between pin 1 of the ECT Sensor harness connector and ground.
- If resistance is greater than 5 Ω, go to step 5 .
- If resistance is less than 5 Ω, repair the short circuit pin 1 of the ECT Sensor harness connector and ground. Refer to "29.4.1.1 Verify Repairs" .
- Measure the resistance between pin 2 of the ECT Sensor harness connector and ground.
- If resistance is greater than 5 Ω, repeat steps 3 through 5 . If the results are the same, call the Detroit Diesel Customer Support Center (313–592–5800).
- If resistance is less than 5 Ω, repair the short circuit between pin 2 of the ECT Sensor harness connector and ground. Refer to "29.4.1.1 Verify Repairs" .
Section 29.4.1.1
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.
