The pin numbers for step 3 through step 12 have changed.

SPN 4259/FMI 4
This diagnosis is typically injector #4, 5, or 6 spill control valve circuit has a short to ground.

SHORT TO GROUND CHECK

Check as follows:
1. Disconnect the Rear Injector Harness 12pin connector.
2. Inspect the Rear Injector Harness 12pin connector for bent or spread pins, inspect the
connector seal for damage (signs of water or oil intrusion).
[a] If the water or oil intrusion, bent or spread pins are found, repair as necessary. Verify
repairs.
[b] If connector shows no signs of damage, go to step 3.
3. Measure the resistance between pin 4 on the valve cover side of the Rear Injector Harness
12pin connector and ground. If you are using J-4867110, measure between injector #4 pin
3 and ground.
[a] If the resistance is greater than 3 , go to step 4.
[b] If the resistance is less than 3 , go to step 6.
4. Measure the resistance between pin 7 on the valve cover side of the Rear Injector Harness
12pin connector and ground. If you are using J-4867110, measure between injector #5 pin
3 and ground.
[a] If the resistance is greater than 3 , go to step 5.
[b] If the resistance is less than 3 , go to step 6.
 5. Measure the resistance between pin 11 on the valve cover side of the Rear Injector Harness
12pin connector and ground. If you are using J-4867110, measure between injector #6 pin
3 and ground.
[a] If the resistance is greater than 3 , go to step 13.
[b] If the resistance is less than 3 , go to step 6.
6. Remove the upper valve cover.
7. Disconnect injector #4.
8. Measure the resistance between pin 4 on the valve cover side of the Rear Injector Harness
12pin connector and ground. If you are using J-4867110, measure between injector #4 pin
3 and ground.
[a] If the resistance is greater than 3 , replace injector #4. Verify repairs.
[b] If the resistance is less than 3 , go to step 9.
9. Disconnect injector #5.
10. Measure the resistance between pin 7 on the valve cover side of the Rear Injector Harness
12pin connector and ground. If you are using J-4867110, measure between injector #5 pin
3 and ground.
[a] If the resistance is greater than 3 , replace injector #5. Verify repairs.
[b] If the resistance is less than 3 , go to step 11.
11. Disconnect injector #6.
12. Measure the resistance between pin 4 on the valve cover side of the Rear Injector Harness
12pin connector and ground. If you are using J-4867110, measure between injector #6 pin
3 and ground.
[a] If the resistance is greater than 3 , replace the #6 injector. Verify repairs.
[b] If the resistance is less than 3 , replace the under valve cover injector harness. Verify
repairs.
13. Disconnect the 120pin MCM connector.
14. Measure the resistance between pin 4 of the Rear Injector Harness 12pin connector and ground.
[a] If the resistance is greater than 3 , go to step 15.
[b] If the resistance is less than 3 , repair the short to ground between pin 5 of the MCM
120pin connector and pin 4 of the Rear Injector Harness 12pin connector. Verify repairs.
15. Measure the resistance between pin 7 of the Rear Injector Harness 12pin connector and ground.
[a] If the resistance is greater than 3 , go to step 16.
[b] If the resistance is less than 3 , repair the short to ground between pin 7 of the MCM
120pin connector and pin 7 of the Rear Injector Harness 12pin connector. Verify repairs.
16. Measure the resistance between pin 11 of the Rear Injector Harness 12pin connector and
ground.
[a] If the resistance is greater than 3 , call the Detroit Diesel Customer Support Center at
3135925800 for MCM replacement authorization.
[b] If the resistance is less than 3 , repair the short to ground between pin 9 of the MCM
120pin connector and pin 11 of the Rear Injector Harness 12pin connector.
