DiagnosticLink users: Please update the troubleshooting guides in DiagnosticLink with this newest version. To update the
tool troubleshooting guide, open DiagnosticLink and from the Help – Troubleshooting Guides menu, select the appropriate
troubleshooting manual, then click Update.
Table 1.
SPN 190/FMI 15
Description This Fault Code Sets When the Engine Speed is Above 2300 rpm.
Monitored Parameter Engine Speed
Typical Enabling Conditions Engine Speed Greater than 2300 rpm
Monitor Sequence None
Execution Frequency Continuous When Enabling Conditions Met
Typical Duration Two Seconds
Dash Lamps None
Engine Reaction Engine Brakes are Activated
Verification Start and Run the Engine
Check as follows:
This fault is an information code only. It is used to provide the operator a message on the instrument cluster. The function is
to warn the operator that the engine speed is getting high and the service brakes should be applied to avoid engine/
transmission damage, typically on a steep grade deceleration. The code will self-delete with each ignition cycle. Once the
engine rpm is within normal operating range the message in the IC and the CEL will no longer be present.
1. Connect DiagnosticLink ®.
2. Check for multiple fault codes. Is fault code SPN 190/FMI Any also present?
a. Yes; diagnose the other fault code first.
b. No; SPN 190/FMI 15 is an information code only. It is used to provide a warning to the instrument cluster.
Question the driver about driving conditions and driving habits.

NOTE:
This fault is an information code only. It is used to provide the operator a message on the instrument cluster. The
function is to warn the operator that the engine speed is getting high and the service brakes should be applied to
avoid engine/transmission damage, typically on a steep grade deceleration. The code will self-delete with each
ignition cycle. Once the engine rpm is within normal operating range the message in the IC and the CEL will no
longer be present.
NOTE: For DT12 equipped vehicles, the transmission will automatically downshift to provide higher engine rpms
to increase Jake Brake effectiveness. This is especially true with the Jake Brakes in the High setting. CPC
software R32 and prior versions have a target downshift speed of 2300 rpm. CPC software R33 and higher has
lowered the target downshift speed to 2200 rpm to provide more margin against logging engine over speed
codes. To further prevent engine over speed codes, if the Jake Brakes alone do not slow the vehicle, it may be
necessary for the driver to apply the service brakes. If maximum Jake Brake effectiveness is not needed, such as,
vehicles that are lightly loaded or with no load, then select either the Low or Medium Jake Brake setting to provide
less aggressive downshifts.
1. Connect DiagnosticLink ®.
2. Check for multiple fault codes. Is fault code SPN 190/FMI Any also present?
a. Yes; diagnose the other fault code first.
b. No; Go to step 3.
3. Check the CPC software. Is the CPC software level R33 or greater?
a. Yes; SPN 190/FMI 15 is an information code only. It is used to provide a warning to the instrument cluster.
Question the driver about driving conditions and driving habits.
b. No; update the CPC software with the latest server data. The updated shift map has been updated to prevent the
engine rpm from going above 2200 rpm during E-coast.
