Truck Year/Model/Engine: 2016 Freightliner Cascadia Detroit DD15
As I was driving down I-80 headed East in Pennsylvania, my check engine light came on. So I plugged in my scanner tool from OTR Performance to see what the code was. The video provides a detailed account of my journey through the East Coast, specifically encountering issues with my truck’s emissions system while driving through mountains.
1. I encounter a check engine light on their 2016 Freightliner Cascadia, but the dashboard provides no useful information.
2. Using the OTR diagnostic tool, I identify the code SPN 247 FMI 14, related to the engine controller, though the description offers little detail.
3. I attempt a reset by clearing the DPF Ash accumulator through the tool, which successfully removes the code from the dashboard.
4. I note that the code reappears occasionally when they need to regen the truck, but resetting the DPF Ash accumulator clears it again.
5. I recommend owner-operators invest in diagnostic tools like the OTR diagnostic tool for over-the-road needs, sharing a link to the tool in the video description.
