DIAGNOSTIC STEPS
WARNING
To prevent personal injury or death, shift transmission to park or neutral, set parking brake, and block wheels before doing diagnostic
or service procedures.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury or death, make sure the engine has cooled before removing components.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury or death, do not let engine fluids stay on your skin. Clean skin and nails using hand cleaner and wash with
soap and water. Wash or discard clothing and rags contaminated with engine fluids.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury or death, read all safety instructions in the "Safety Information" section of the diagnostic manuals.
WARNING
These diagnostics require running the engine with cover(s) removed exposing moving components. Glasses are required due to oil
splash and do not touch moving components.
Step Action
1
Verify calibration.
Yes. Step 2
Is the calibration up-to-date?
No. Update Calibration. Step 2
Step Action
Generate a Health Report
2
Are there any other ACTIVE/PENDING DTCs other than listed or relevant to fuel in
oil?
Step Action
Verify Repairs:
Were the DTCs resolved?
3
Step Action
4
Decision
Perform visual checks per Diagnostic Manual and/or Performance Diagnostic
sheet.
1. Inspect Fuel System to Verify Fuel Level
2. Inspect Engine Oil Level
3. Inspect Coolant Recovery Bottle for Coolant Level
4. Inspect Electrical Group for Poor or Loose Connections
5. Inspect Air Filter Minder
6. Inspect Exhaust System
Any issues noted?
Decision
Yes. Follow FCAP for DTCs. If none are
active, perform iKNow search regarding
the DTC. If nothing available, see the
appropriate Diagnostic Manual. Proceed
to Step 3.
No. Step 4
Decision
Yes. Step 4
No. If unrelated to the fuel or oil system,
continue to Step 4, and address at a later
time. Otherwise, contact a supervisor and
ensure all the proper decisions were
made. If necessary, open a case file with
Navistar
's Technical Support group and all
relevant information or recordings.
Decision
Yes. Correct the issue(s). If the oil level is
over full, drain it to a proper level and take
a sample for analysis, if required.
If the oil level is normal, has no signs of
dilution, and the complaint is low pressure,
see IK1200744.
Continue to Step 5.
No. If the oil level is normal, has no signs
of dilution, and the complaint is low

pressure, see IK1200744; otherwise
continue to Step 5.
Step Action
Inspect engine operation.
5
Does the engine appear to have a misfire?
Step Action
Decision
Yes. See IK1201222
No. Step 6
Decision
Disclose oil service habits from the customer and compare to the Operator Manual
service recommendation.
1. Current Oil life is within limits and
customer is following interval
requirements.
20072009 MaxxForce 7: 10,000 Miles or 350 hours, which ever comes first.
Step 7
2. Current Oil life is within limits but
the customer is not following interval
requirements.
2010-2013 MaxxForce 7:
Fuel Economy is less than 7 MPG: Every 7,000 miles
Fuel Economy is greater than 7 MPG but less than 11 MPG:
Miles = 2000 X MPG 7000
Ex. MPG = 8.2
2000(8.2) - 7000 = 9,400 miles
6
Fuel Economy > 11MPG: Every 15,000 Miles
Inform the customer of the proper service
interval for their application and continue
to
Step 7
3. Current Oil life is beyond the
service limits and the customer is
not following interval requirements.
Get customer approval to change the oil
out of warranty expense. Return the truck
to the customer and monitor the oil level.
If the oil level rises in an unreasonable
amount, the truck must be diagnosed
further. Send the oil sample out for testing
and documentation.
Remember oil expands when heated, if
the oil level is checked cold, it will need to
be rechecked cold.
Step Action

Decision
Inspect AMS and Exhaust System for Leaks
Yes. Correct the leaks, Step 8
If necessary, see IK1201142 Leak Locater Diagnostic Procedures. Tighten all AMS
pressure clamps to 115lb-in.
No. Step 8
Were any issues noted?
