SPN 625 FMI 13 – ECAN ID_1629 Diagnostic Message Not Received this Ignition Cycle Fault Code (Symptoms, Causes & Fix)

The SPN 625 FMI 13 fault code indicates a communication error within the diesel engine's electronic control module (ECM) network. Specifically, it means that the ECM did not receive the expected ECAN ID_1629 diagnostic message during the current ignition cycle. This diagnostic trouble code suggests a disruption in the communication between modules, which can affect the engine's performance and dia read more

SPN 625 FMI 8 – Motor Control Module, Powertrain Controller Area Network DM1 Message Not Received or has Stopped Arriving Fault Code (Symptoms, Causes & Fix)

The SPN 625 FMI 8 fault code indicates a communication issue within the diesel engine's control system. Specifically, it means that the Motor Control Module (MCM) is not receiving the DM1 message from the Powertrain Controller Area Network (CAN), or the message has stopped arriving. This diagnostic trouble code highlights a disruption in the expected data exchange between critical control modules. read more

SPN 625 FMI 4 – Erratic data or the Controller Area Network Propriety Data Link has Failed Between the Motor Control Module and the Common Powertrain Controller Fault Code (Symptoms, Causes & Fix)

The SPN 625 FMI 4 fault code indicates an issue with erratic data or a failure in the Controller Area Network (CAN) proprietary data link between the Motor Control Module (MCM) and the Common Powertrain Controller (CPC). This diesel engine fault code suggests that the ECM is receiving inconsistent or no communication from these critical components, which can affect engine performance.What SPN 625 read more

SPN 625 FMI 14 – MCM System ID not Received or Stopped Arriving Fault Code (Symptoms, Causes & Fix)

The SPN 625 FMI 14 fault code indicates that the Motor Control Module (MCM) system ID is not being received or has stopped arriving at the Engine Control Module (ECM). This diesel engine fault code suggests a communication issue between the MCM and ECM, which can affect engine performance and diagnostics. What SPN 625 FMI 14 Means The SPN 625 FMI 14 diagnostic trouble code signifies a loss of com read more

SPN 1761 FMI 18 – DEF Tank Level 1 - Empty

This code indicates that the DEF tank level is detected as empty. It’s crucial to differentiate between a true empty condition and a sensor or circuit fault. What This Code Actually Means The circuit logic involves the DEF level sensor sending a signal to the ECM. If the voltage from the sensor falls below a certain threshold (typically around 0.5V), the ECM interprets this as an empty tan read more

SPN 1761 FMI 2 – DEF Tank Level Sensor Rationality

SPN 1761 FMI 2 indicates a rationality issue with the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) tank level sensor. This fault code suggests that the readings from the DEF level sensor are not aligning with expected parameters, potentially leading to performance issues in the vehicle. What This Code Means SPN 1761 refers specifically to the DEF tank level sensor, while FMI 2 indicates a rationality fault. In es read more

SPN 1669 FMI 9 – CAN4 Signal Missing

This fault code indicates that the CAN4 signal is missing from the network, which can lead to communication issues between modules. This is particularly relevant in Freightliner Cascadia models equipped with the DD15 engine. What This Code Means SPN 1669 with FMI 9 signifies that the CAN4 communication line is not receiving a signal. This can disrupt the flow of data between various electronic c read more

SPN 1231 FMI 9 – MCM CAN1 Signal Missing

SPN 1231 FMI 9 indicates a missing signal on the MCM CAN1 line, which is crucial for communication between the engine control module and other components. This fault can lead to derate conditions if not addressed promptly. What This Code Means SPN 1231 with FMI 9 signifies that the Engine Control Module (ECM) has detected an absence of the expected signal on the CAN1 communication line. This can read more

SPN 1761 FMI 3 – DEF Tank Level Sensor Circuit Failed High

Posted by: on

This fault indicates a high reading from the DEF tank level sensor circuit, typically pointing to an open circuit or a short to the 5V reference. Common causes include an unplugged sensor, a broken signal wire, or harness damage. What This Code Actually Means The "failed high" status usually suggests that the signal wire is either open or shorted to the 5V reference voltage. When the ECM detects read more

SPN 1761 FMI 4 – DEF Tank Level Sensor Circuit Failed Low

This code indicates a low voltage signal from the DEF tank level sensor circuit. It suggests an electrical fault rather than a mechanical issue with the tank itself. What This Code Actually Means A 'failed low' condition signifies that the voltage signal from the DEF tank level sensor is below the expected range, typically indicating a short to ground, a broken ground reference, or an internal f read more
