What to do next

• Read active and inactive codes with the OEM service tool (Diamond Logic Builder can clear previously active codes) and note the occurrence count.
• FMI 8 tells the shop the type of failure to test for: abnormal frequency, pulse width or period.
• Have a heavy-duty diesel technician confirm the fault against the engine or chassis service manual before replacing parts.
