I have a 2013 IH CE with a maxxjunk 7 that came up with a check engine light this morning. Fault is a 658-18 from the ICU. Does anyone have an idea what it is for? I do not have access to Service link or DLB, just trying to keep it out of the Dealer if possible. Thanks!

SPN 651 – 658 FMI 18 – Injector # Fuel quantity / timing low error

Fault Overview
Fault code sets when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects a decrease in injector flow during the first 2 minutes of engine running at idle.

Lamp Reaction
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illuminate when this fault is detected during two consecutive drive cycles.

Associated Faults
None

Fault Facts
This fault code can set due to heavy parasitic loading such as in gear with the air conditioning on, alternator running, air compressor engaged, etc. The ECM monitor for this fault code does not operate over 118 lb·ft (160 N·m) torque at idle.

Drive Cycle to Determine Fault Status
Continuous



Possible Causes




ECM calibration out-of-date
High parasitic load on engine
Failed fuel injector
Base engine failure

Step 1
Determine if Engine Control Module (ECM) calibration is up to date.
Decision

Using Service Portal scorecard, determine if ECM calibration is up to date.
Yes: Go to Step 2.

Is ECM calibration up to date?
No: Program ECM with most recent calibration. After repairs are complete, retest for SPN 651 – 658 FMI 18.




Step 2
Determine if a base engine problem is causing fault code to become active.
Decision

Using Electronic Service Tool (EST) with ServiceMaxx™ software, perform the following steps:


Key ON, clear codes.

Verify all engine accessories are OFF (i.e. air conditioning, radio, and headlights).

Start engine and let idle for 3 minutes.

While engine is idling, go to Default session > All Signals tab.

Verify Actual Engine Torque signal value is below 118 lb·ft (160 N·m).

Key-On, Engine-Off (KOEO), check Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) list for SPN 651 – 658 FMI 18.
Yes: Go to Step 3.

Is EST DTC list SPN 651 – 658 FMI 18 active or pending?
No: Go to Step 5.




Step 3
Check for engine mechanical failure.
Decision

Check for engine mechanical failure. Perform Relative Compression Test Plus (RCT+) .
Yes: Make indicated repair if CPA indicates a failure. After repairs are complete, retest for original problem.

Did the Graph Analysis section identify a failure or did the tool issue a Warranty Authorization Code (WAC)?
No: Go to Step 4.




Step 4
Check for a weak power cylinder.
Decision

Perform CPA Hot Idle Test .
Yes: Remove valve cover and inspect valve train. If valve train is in good condition, replace injector for suspect cylinder.

Does test indicate a weak cylinder?
No: Go to Step 5.




Step 5
Determine if high parasitic load is causing fault code to become active.
Decision

Using Electronic Service Tool (EST) with ServiceMaxx™ software, perform the following steps:


Key ON, clear codes.

Start engine.

Verify all engine accessories are ON (i.e. air conditioning, radio, and headlights), and transmission is in gear.

Let engine idle for 3 minutes.

While engine is idling, go to Default session > All Signals tab.

Verify Actual Engine Torque signal value is below 118 lb·ft (160 N·m).


If Actual Engine Torque signal value is above 118 lb·ft (160 N·m), turn off accessories till engine torque is below threshold.
Yes: High parasitic load causing fault code to set. Allow engine to idle for a minimum of 3 minutes before turning on any accessories or putting transmission into gear.

Did SPN 651 – 658 FMI 18 become active or pending?
No: End diagnostics, retest for 651 – 658 FMI 18.




End Diagnostic Tests

After performing diagnostic steps, if SPN 651 – 658 FMI 18 remains, verify if step was completed correctly and proper decision was made. Notify supervisor for further action.
