ZF AS-Tronic

ZF AS-Tronic uses its own fault numbering: the number in the table below is an internal ZF code, not a J1939 SPN. It matches the title of this page by digit only and means something different.

FMI 2Vehicle on-board electrical system voltage too low.

Can I keep driving

Safe to drive. Below — how much time you have and what happens if you keep going.

What happens if you keep driving

Time you have: Enough to reach the yard

Boost is not reaching its target: turbo, intercooler or intake. The engine compensates with mixture and runs hotter than usual.

You will lose pull, burn more fuel and add overheating on long climbs. If you hear a whine or a whistle from the turbo, stop — the wheel is breaking up.

This is an electrical fault: an open, a short or a bad contact in the sensor circuit. The value it measures is most likely fine. You can drive. But until the circuit is repaired this system runs blind and cannot warn you about a real failure.

That said, the manufacturer flags this code as critical — if in doubt, it is safer to stop and check on the spot.

What to check on the spot

Inspect the air filter and charge-air hoses: leaks and cracks produce exactly these codes.

Nearby: intake / boost
