Section 117.1
SPN 3563/FMI 0/1/2
The following procedures will troubleshoot SPN 3563/FMI 0/1/2, intake manifold pressure high or low or erratic data.
Section 117.1.1
Low (Boost) Pressure Check
Check as follows:
- Turn the ignition ON (key ON, engine OFF).
- Check for historic fault codes in addition to 3563/0/1/2.
- If other historic fault codes are present, troubleshoot other fault codes first.
- If only fault code 3563/0 or 3563/1 or 3563/2 is present, go to step 3 .
- Check for a restricted air filter or air intake system.
- If the air filter or air intake system is restricted, replace the air filter and/or eliminate the restriction in the air intake system. Refer to "117.1.2.1 Verify Repairs" .
- If the air filter or air intake system is not restricted, go to step 4 .
- Check the condition of the Intake Manifold Pressure/Temp Sensor. See Figure
"Intake Manifold Pressure/Temp Sensor"
.

Figure 1. Intake Manifold Pressure/Temp Sensor
- If sensor is not in good condition, replace sensor. Refer to "117.1.2.1 Verify Repairs" .
- If sensor is in good condition, go to step 5 .
- Visually inspect the CAC (charge air cooler) and the CAC hoses for leaks.
- If leaks are found, repair or replace the CAC and/or CAC hoses. Refer to "117.1.2.1 Verify Repairs" .
- If no leaks are found, go to step 6 .
- Check for a faulty turbocharger (compressor wheel does not spin freely or is rubbing on side walls).
- If the turbocharger is faulty, replace it. Refer to "117.1.2.1 Verify Repairs" .
- If the turbocharger is not faulty, go to step 7 .
- Verify that fuel delivery is within specifications (no restrictions to fuel flow).
- If fuel delivery is not within specifications, eliminate restrictions in fuel delivery system. Refer to "117.1.2.1 Verify Repairs" .
- If fuel delivery is within specifications, check for erratic data. Refer to "117.1.2 Erratic Data Check" .
Section 117.1.2
Erratic Data Check
Check for erratic data:
- Turn the ignition ON (key ON, engine OFF).
- Find the altitude for your local area and use Table 1 to determine the kPa value for the local altitude.
- Open DDDL and change the units to metric. (Tool menu > Options > Metric).
- Using DDDL, read the value of the Barometric Pressure Sensor. The value should be within X kPa of the value in Table 1.
- If the value is greater than X kPa, replace the Intake Manifold Pressure/Temp Sensor. Refer to "117.1.2.1 Verify Repairs" .
- If the value is less than X kPa,, go to step 5 .
- Using DDDL, read the value of the Barometric Pressure Sensor. The value should be within X kPa of the value in Table 1.
- If the value is greater than X kPa, replace the Barometric Pressure Sensor. Due to its location in the MCM, replacing the Barometric Pressure Sensor means replacing the MCM.Refer to "117.1.2.1 Verify Repairs" .
- If the value is less than X kPa,, go to step 6 .
- Start the engine and run at idle.
- Using DDDL, read the value of the Intake Manifold Pressure/Temp Sensor (boost pressure). The value should be within X kPa of 0.00.
- If the value is not within X kPa, replace the Intake Manifold Pressure/Temp Sensor. Refer to "117.1.2.1 Verify Repairs" .
- If the value is within X kPa, go to step 8 .
- Using DDDL, read the value of the Barometric Pressure Sensor.
- If the value is not within X kPa, replace the Barometric Pressure Sensor. Due to its location in the MCM, replacing the Barometric Pressure Sensor means replacing the MCM.Refer to "117.1.2.1 Verify Repairs" .
- If the value is within X kPa,, go to step 9 .
- Run the engine to 1500 rpm.
- Using DDDL, read the value of the Intake Manifold Pressure/Temp Sensor (boost pressure). The value should be X kPa at 1500 rpm.
- If the value is not within 2 kPa, replace the sensor.
- If the value is within 2 kPa, go to step 11 .
- Using DDDL, read the value of the Barometric Pressure Sensor.
- If the value is not within X kPa, replace the Barometric Pressure Sensor. Due to its location in the MCM, replacing the Barometric Pressure Sensor means replacing the MCM.Refer to "117.1.2.1 Verify Repairs" .
- If the value is within X kPa, contact Detroit Diesel Customer Support Center (313–592–5800).
Section 117.1.2.1
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.
