DD15 SPN 97/FMI 3 Troubleshooting

SPN 97/FMI 3

SPN 97/FMI 3 indicates a Water-in-Fuel Sensor open circuit.‪

Check as follows:‪

  1. Check for multiple codes.
    1. If any EGR faults are active at the same time, repair the open circuit between pin 67 of the MCM 120-pin connector and pin 3 of the Water-in-Fuel Sensor. Refer to “24.1.1 Verify Repairs” .
    2. If only fault 97/3 is active, go to the next step.
  2. Disconnect the Water-in-Fuel Sensor.
  3. Turn the ignition ON (key ON, engine OFF).
  4. Measure the voltage between pins 1 and 3 of the Water-in-Fuel Sensor harness connector.
    1. If the voltage is between 2.75 and 3.25 volts, go to step 6 .
    2. If the voltage is less than 2.75 volts, go to the next step.
  5. Measure the voltage between pin 1 of the Water-in-Fuel Sensor harness connector and ground.
    1. If the voltage is between 2.75 and 3.25 volts, repair the open circuit between pin 3 of the Water-in-Fuel Sensor harness connector and pin 55 of the MCM 120-pin connector. Refer to “24.1.1 Verify Repairs” .
    2. If the voltage is less than 2.75 volts, repair the open circuit between pin 1 of the Water-in-Fuel Sensor harness connector and pin 71 of the MCM 120-pin connector. Refer to “24.1.1 Verify Repairs” .
  6. Disconnect the MCM 120-pin connector and measure the resistance between pin 57 and pin 2 of the Water-in-Fuel Sensor harness connector.
    1. If the resistance is less than 5 Ω, repair the short between pin 2 and 57 of the MCM 120-pin connector. Refer to “24.1.1 Verify Repairs” .
    2. If the resistance is greater than 5 Ω, replace the sensor. Refer to “24.1.1 Verify Repairs” .
