SPN 102 FMI 0

Intake Manifold #1 Pressure (Boost) — Value too high (most severe).
The reading is valid but far above the normal operating range — high enough that the controller treats it as the most serious level of 'too high'.

What the SPN covers: Boost pressure in the intake manifold after the turbocharger and charge air cooler. More on SPN 102.

What FMI 0 usually points to: A real over-condition (over-temperature, over-pressure, overspeed) or a sensor reporting a believable but wrong high value. More on FMI 0.

Severity

MEDIUM — fix soon

Low boost means low power and more smoke; high boost can overstress the engine. Usually drivable carefully to a shop.

Likely causes

  1. Boost leak at charge-air cooler or hoses
  2. Turbo or VGT actuator problem
  3. Clogged air filter
  4. Faulty boost sensor or plugged sensor port
  5. Exhaust restriction (DPF)

Checks & fixes (easiest first)

  1. Pressure-test the charge-air system for leaks
  2. Inspect CAC boots and clamps
  3. Check the boost sensor for oil/soot buildup
  4. Compare boost to barometric pressure with the key on, engine off
  5. Check VGT and DPF codes
