What this code means

Component / fault: Intake mfld tem sensor.
Reported detail: voltage below normal or open circuit.
FMI 4 in the SAE J1939 / Caterpillar CDL convention means: Voltage below normal, or shorted to low source — see the full FMI reference table.

On a Caterpillar display this code may appear as MID/CID 105 with FMI 4, or in the older PID/SID style. Wording of the reported detail follows the public Caterpillar fault-code listing cited below.

First checks (general, for this failure type)

Signal voltage is below normal. Look for a short to ground, a broken signal wire, a poor sensor ground, or a failed sensor.

These are general electrical checks for FMI 4 faults, not a substitute for the model-specific test procedure. If the fault is active and the machine is derated or shut down, follow the service manual for your model and serial prefix.

Need the part?

If the checks point to a failed sensor, solenoid or harness part, send us the code (105 / FMI 4), the machine model and serial number — we quote genuine and OEM replacement parts for export.
