SPN 167 - FMI 16 (Fault Code 596)
SPN167 FMI16 (Electrical Charging System Voltage - Data Valid But Above Normal Operating Range)
Fault Code 596
CODES:
Fault Code: 596
PID(P), SID(S): P167
SPN: 167
FMI: 0/16
Lamp: AMBER
SRT:
REASON: Electrical Charging System Voltage - Data Valid But Above Normal Operating Range - Moderately Severe Level. High battery voltage detected by the battery voltage monitor feature.
EFFECT: Amber warning lamp illuminated until high battery voltage condition is corrected.
Circuit Description:
The electronic control module (ECM) receives constant voltage from the batteries through the unswitched battery wires that are connected directly to the positive (+) battery post. The ECM receives switched battery input through the vehicle keyswitch wire when the vehicle keyswitch is turned ON.
Component Location:
The ECM is connected to the battery by the ECM power harness. This direct link provides a constant power supply for the ECM. The location of the battery will vary with the OEM. Refer to the OEM service manual for the battery location.
Conditions for Running the Diagnostics:
This diagnostic runs continuously when the keyswitch is in the ON position.
Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes:
The ECM detects that the battery voltage is higher than 18-VDC.
Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active:
• The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE light immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.
Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code:
The ECM will turn off the amber CHECK ENGINE light when the battery voltage falls below 18-VDC.
Shop Talk:
Verify the electronic control module (ECM) calibration is correct. Check the calibration revision history found on QuickServe® Online for applicable fixes to the calibration stored in the ECM. If necessary, calibrate the ECM.
This fault code is part of the Alternator Failure Warning feature. The ECM can increase idle speed and deactivate the idle decrement switch if idle speedup is enabled. View the Alternator Failure Warning feature settings with INSITE™ electronic service tool. Disabling the Alternator Failure Warning feature will also disable this fault code.
Make sure the ECM battery supply (+) is coming directly from the battery and not the starter.
Possible causes of this fault code:
• Overcharged batteries caused by a malfunctioning alternator or regulator.
