1. Check for active codes.
   1. If fault codes 100 01 and 100 03 are both active, refer to "7.2.3 100 03 – Oil Combination Sensor Open Circuit" .
   2. If fault codes 100 01 and 100 04 are both active, refer to "7.2.4 100 04 – Oil Combination Sensor Short to Ground"
   3. If only fault code 100 01 is active, go to step 2 .
2. Observe the stability of the oil pressure.
   1. If the oil pressure is in normal operating range and stable, go to step 3 .
   2. If the oil pressure is fluctuating, go to step 4 .
3. Check the oil level.
   1. If the oil level is high, refer to "7.2.1.1 Required Actions" .

      Note: An increase in the engine oil level indicates fuel may be leaking into the engine oil.

   2. If the engine oil level is low, fill oil to proper level. Erase fault code memory.
4. Check the operation of the oil gage. If the oil gage readings are erratic, refer to "7.2.1.2 Required Action" .
5. Check the condition of the oil pump suction pipe. If the pipe is loose or cracked, refer to "7.2.1.3 Required Action" .
6. Check the condition of the oil pump drive and driven gears. If either gear is loose, refer to "7.2.1.4 Required Action" .
7. Check for a faulty oil pressure relief valve. If the relief valve does not open at the set pressure or sticks open, refer to "7.2.1.5 Required Action" .
8. If fault code 100 01 is still active, contact Detroit Diesel Technical Service Group.

100 02 – Oil Combination Sensor Data Erratic

Perform the following steps to troubleshoot erratic data from the oil combination sensor:‪

1. With the engine shut down, all oil drained into the oil pan, and the vehicle on a level surface, check the oil level.
   1. If the oil level is not within the “normal” operating range on the dipstick, add the recommended oil to bring it to the proper level. Erase fault code memory.
   2. If the oil level is within the “normal” operating range on the dipstick, go to step 2 .
2. Check for additional active fault codes.
   1. If fault code 100 03 is active in addition to code 100 02, refer to "7.2.3 100 03 – Oil Combination Sensor Open Circuit" .
   2. If fault code 100 04 is active in addition to code 100 02, refer to "7.2.4 100 04 – Oil Combination Sensor Short to Ground" .
   3. If only fault code 100 02 is active, check and clean sensor contacts (remove any corrosion). See Figure "Oil Combination Sensor Wiring" . Erase fault code memory.

100 03 – Oil Combination Sensor Open Circuit

Perform the following steps to troubleshoot an oil combination sensor open circuit fault:‪

1. Check for additional active fault codes with combination sensor connected.
   1. If fault code 175 03 is active in addition to code 100 03, repair open circuit in 55-pin connector wire 15 to pin 1 of the sensor. See Figure "Oil Combination Sensor Wiring" . Erase fault code memory.
   2. If only fault 100 03 is active, go to step 2 .
2. Bridge pins 1 and 4 of the combination sensor. See Figure "Oil Combination Sensor Wiring" .
   1. If new fault 100 04 is active, repair short to power in 55-pin connector wire 32 to pin 4 of the sensor. Erase fault code memory.
   2. If new fault 100 04 is not active, repair open circuit in 55-pin connector wire 32 to pin 4 of the connector. Erase fault code memory.
