SPN 110/FMI 14
This diagnostic is typically Coolant Temperature / Engine Oil Temperature Plausibility Fault.
1. Are any cooling system issues present?
[a] Yes; repair cooling system issues first.
[b] No; go to Step 2.
2. Check engine oil level. If low fill as necessary.
3. Start engine and bring to operating temperature to 185°F (85°C).
4. Does engine reach operating temperature 185°F (85°C)?
[a] Yes; go to Step 5.
[b] No; service the cooling system thermostat.
5. Shut engine OFF (key OFF, engine OFF).
6. Disconnect coolant outlet and oil temperature sensors.
7. Inspect the coolant outlet and oil temperature sensor harness connectors for bent, spread or
corroded pins.
[a] If pin damage is found, repair as necessary.
[b] If no pin damage is found, go to Step 8.
8. Check coolant outlet and oil temperature sensor resistances. Refer to chart for specifications;
replace sensor which is out of range.
