Detroit SPN 4364 / FMI 18: SCR-efficiency warning context

Detroit SPN 4364/FMI 18 reports an SCR conversion-efficiency concern in the cited EPA10/GHG14 reference. It does not identify a failed catalyst, DEF component or NOx sensor by itself. Record the complete SPN/FMI pair and related faults.

Application & limits

Detroit bulletin 01 01-18, January 2018, for EPA10 and GHG14 DD-platform references. Later emissions generations and other FMI values require their own current procedure.

What the symptom or code tells you

The OEM diagnostic reference considers other faults and operating data. Its engine-generation sections are a reason to identify the exact engine before selecting tests.

A fault report and its active/inactive state help the mechanic plan an SCR assessment. Include any recent DEF, sensor or aftertreatment work without assuming the last replaced component is the cause.

Information to send

Use details already available from the normal operator position or your records. Do not run a test or approach a hazard to collect them.

  • DD engine model, serial, VIN/year and emissions generation if known.
  • SPN 4364 with FMI 18, plus all companion faults.
  • Full warning, any derate and previous diagnostic work orders.
  • Recent repair history and the service location.

What the mechanic assesses

The mechanic matches current Detroit guidance to the truck and reviews associated faults and data before selecting system tests. No threshold, forced-regen sequence or component replacement is copied from the archived procedure for an unidentified engine. Parts and repair scope follow the assessment.
