Scania EMS DTC 387 Fuel temperature sensor

EMS Engine Management System · Scania · 2 variants

Code 387 (decimal). Some diagnostic tools show it in hexadecimal as 0183.

In short

The control unit has detected an abnormal voltage, indicating a break in the circuit or that the fuel temperature sensor has a short circuit to the voltage supply.

Variant 1: Fuel temperature sensor, short circuited to supply voltage or open circuit

Applies to: EMS10

What does Scania EMS fault code 387 mean?

The control unit has detected an abnormal voltage, indicating a break in the circuit or that the fuel temperature sensor has a short circuit to the voltage supply.

How to fix Scania EMS fault code 387?

  1. Check the fuel temperature sensor cable harness and harness-to-component connector.
  2. Renew the fuel temperature sensor.

Variant 2

Applies to: EMS S6

Detection

The voltage in the circuit has been above the permitted level.

Possible cause

Possible causes are: - Open circuit in the fuel temperature sensor circuit. - Fault in the oil pressure sensor circuit or mass flow sensor circuit.

System reaction

There is a common voltage supply for the fuel temperature sensor, oil pressure sensor and mass flow sensor. If a fault occurs in one of the sensors, the other sensor circuits may be affected. If the voltage is outside the permitted range, the control unit uses a pre-programmed value.

How to fix

Check the fuel temperature sensor, oil pressure sensor and mass flow sensor, along with the harness-to-harness connectors and electrical cables in the circuits.
