Detroit Diesel Derate

Diagnostic Overview

Detroit SPN 110 FMI 15 generally indicates engine coolant temperature is above normal but at the least severe level. It is an early warning that cooling system performance is not keeping up. If ignored, it can progress to more severe coolant temperature faults and derate.

Likely Causes

Low coolant level, dirty radiator, weak fan operation, thermostat beginning to fail, coolant flow restriction, heavy load operation, or inaccurate temperature sensor.

What To Check First

Check coolant level, inspect for leaks, clean radiator and charge-air cooler fins, verify fan engagement, compare actual temperature to live data, and look for SPN 110 FMI 16 or FMI 0 companion faults. Verify final definition in Detroit DiagnosticLink because FMI meaning can vary by engine year, ACM/MCM calibration, and emissions level.
