Overview
CODE | REASON | EFFECT |
Fault Code: 187 PID: S232 SPN: 620 FMI: 4/4 LAMP: Yellow SRT: |
Low voltage detected on the ECM voltage supply line to some sensors (VSEN2 supply). |
Engine will run derated. No engine protection for oil pressure or coolant level. |
Sensor Supply Voltage Circuit
|
Circuit Description
The ECM supplies each of these sensors with + 5-VDC. If the supply line to any sensor is damaged, the sensor will not work correctly.
Component Location
The front fuel rail pressure sensor is located on the fuel delivery housing.
Rear fuel rail pressure sensor is located on the fuel delivery housing.
Fuel inlet restriction sensor is located on the fuel delivery housing.
Oil pressure/temperature sensor is located below the air compressor.
Wet tank pressure sensor is located on the air compressor.
Coolant level sensor. Use the OEM troubleshooting and repair manual for proper location.
Top 2 transmission position sensor; located on the transmission if vehicle has a Spicer™ Top 2 Automate transmission. Use the OEM troubleshooting and repair manual for proper location.
Shop Talk
Low voltage on the sensor + 5-VDC supply line will be caused by a short circuit to ground in a supply line, a short circuit between a supply line or a return line, a failed sensor, or a failed ECM power supply.
During the fault code response test outlined for each sensor connected to sensor supply number 2, Fault Code 187 must be active before unplugging each sensor. If the fault code is not active, but can be easily duplicated by operating the engine, the following can be performed:
Operate the engine under the conditions that will cause Fault Code 187 to become active, even if it logs for a short period of time, unplug one sensor at a time until Fault Code 187 stops logging under the test conditions. Each sensor can be unplugged with the engine running. The engine may not start if the camshaft position sensor is unplugged.
Refer to Troubleshooting Fault Code t05-187.
