SPN 100 — Engine oil pressure critically low

SPN 100 is the parameter the ECM is flagging on PACCAR, CAT, Volvo, Detroit, International, MERCEDES, Mack, Cummins engines. The FMI that comes with it tells you how it failed. Each failure mode below has its own causes and its own test order — do not treat them as the same repair.

FMI 1 · Data valid but below normal operating range — most severe level

Engine oil pressure critically low

The reading is real and it is dangerously low. Low oil pressure, low coolant level and low rail pressure land here. Treat it as a real condition until proven otherwise.

FMI 1 · Data valid but below normal operating range — most severe level

Low engine oil pressure

The reading is real and it is dangerously low. Low oil pressure, low coolant level and low rail pressure land here. Treat it as a real condition until proven otherwise.

FMI 1 · Data valid but below normal operating range — most severe level

Engine oil pressure low

FMI 3 · Voltage above normal or shorted to high source

Engine oil pressure sensor circuit voltage above normal

The signal wire is seeing more voltage than the circuit should ever produce — usually the signal wire touching battery power or the 5 V reference.
