SPN 2659/FMI 0
This code is typically an EGR flow target error (high flow).
1. Turn the ignition ON (key ON, engine OFF).
2. Using DDDL/DDRS monitor EGR Delta P voltage (pin 109).
3. Is the EGR Delta P voltage between 0.55 and 0.83 volts?
[a] Yes, go to step 8.
[b] No, go to step 4.
4. Remove the EGR Delta P sensor from the mounting pad, leave electrical harness connected.
5. Is the EGR Delta P voltage between 0.55 and 0.83 volts?
[a] Yes, go to step 8.
[b] No, go to step 6.
6. Disconnect the EGR Delta P sensor harness connector.
7. Inspect the EGR Delta P sensor harness connector for loose, bent, spread or corroded pins.
[a] If pin damage is found, repair as necessary.
[b] If no connector damage is found, replace EGR Delta P sensor, after sensor replacement
perform EGR Delta P re-calibration service routine, release vehicle.
8. Remove Delta P sensor and inspect the EGR delivery pipe Delta P pressure ports for blockage.
[a] If blockage is found, repair (clean) as necessary.
[b] If no blockage is found, go to step 9.
9. Inspect the EGR valve for physical damage (broken butterfly).
[a] If the EGR valve is damaged, replace the EGR valve.
[b] If no damage is found, obtain a log file of the fault going active and contact the Detroit
Diesel Customer Support Center at 313–592–5800.
SPN 2659/FMI 1
This code is typically an EGR flow target error (low flow).
1. Check for multiple codes.
[a] If SPN 2791 FMI (any) is also present, repair 2791 FMI (any) fault first.
[b] If SPN 2791 FMI (any) is NOT present, go to step 2.
2. Visually inspect the entire EGR system for evidence of external leakage (e.g. soot, coolant
deposits at joints).
[a] If external leakage is found, repair as necessary.
[b] If no external leakage is found, go to step 3.
3. Turn the ignition ON (key ON, engine OFF).
4. Using DDDL/DDRS monitor EGR Delta P voltage (pin 109).
5. Is the EGR Delta P voltage between 0.55 and 0.83 volts?
[a] Yes, go to step 10.
[b] No, go to step 6.
6. Remove the EGR Delta P sensor from the mounting pad, leave electrical harness connected.
7. Is the EGR Delta P voltage between 0.55 and 0.83 volts?
[a] Yes, go to step 10.
[b] No, go to step 8.
8. Disconnect the EGR Delta P sensor harness connector.
9. Inspect the EGR Delta P sensor harness connector for loose, bent, spread or corroded pins.
[a] If pin damage is found, repair as necessary.
[b] If no connector damage is found, replace EGR Delta P sensor, after sensor replacement
perform EGR Delta P re-calibration service routine, release vehicle.
10. Remove EGR cooler hot pipe, EGR crossover pipe and delivery pipe and inspect for excessive
build up or blockage.
[a] If excessive build up or blockage is found, clean piping and replace EGR cooler.
[b] If there is no excessive build up or blockage, go to step 11.
11. Inspect the EGR delivery pipe Delta P pressure ports for blockage.
[a] If blockage is found, repair (clean) as necessary.
[b] If no blockage is found, go to step 12.
12. Inspect the EGR valve for physical damage (broken butterfly).
[a] If the EGR valve is damaged, replace the EGR valve.
[b] If no damage is found, obtain a log file of the fault going active and contact the Detroit
Diesel Customer Support Center at 313–592–5800.
