DD15 SPN 100/FMI 1 Troubleshooting

SPN 100/FMI 1

SPN 100/FMI 1 is typically low engine oil pressure.‪

Check as follows:‪

1. Check for multiple codes.
   1. If fault codes 100/1 and 100/3 are both active, refer to “26.2 SPN 100/FMI 3” .
   2. If fault codes 100/1 and 100/4 are both active, refer to “26.3 SPN 100/FMI 4” .
   3. If only fault code 100/1 is active, go to the next step.
2. Observe the stability of the oil pressure.
   1. If the oil pressure is in normal operating range and stable, go to the next step.
   2. If the oil pressure is fluctuating, go to step 4 .
3. Check the oil level.Note: An increase in the engine oil level indicates fuel may be leaking into the engine oil.
   1. If the oil level is high, check for fuel entering into the engine oil system and repair as required. Change the engine oil. refer to “25.1.1 Verify Repairs” .
   2. If the engine oil level is low, fill oil to proper level. refer to “25.1.1 Verify Repairs” .
4. Check the operation of the oil gage.
   1. If the oil gage readings are erratic, repair or replace the oil gage as required.refer to “25.1.1 Verify Repairs” .
   2. If the oil gage readings are fine, go to the next step.
5. Check the condition of the oil pump suction pipe.
   1. If the pipe is loose or cracked, replace a cracked pipe and reinstall a loose pipe. refer to “25.1.1 Verify Repairs” .
   2. If there is no problem with the oil pump suction pipe, go to the next step.
6. Check the condition of the oil pump drive and driven gears.
   1. If either gear is loose, repair or replace loose gears as required. refer to “25.1.1 Verify Repairs” .
   2. If neither gear is loose, go to the next step.
7. Check for a faulty oil pressure relief valve.
   1. If the relief valve does not open at the set pressure or sticks open, repair or replace a faulty oil pressure relief valve as required. refer to “25.1.1 Verify Repairs” .
   2. If the relief valve is fine, refer to “25.1.1 Verify Repairs” .
