SPN 1066 — Brake Signal Transmitter Sensor

Do not driveTo the nearest safe stop

J1939 code SPN 1066. Below — how the fault is worded at the factory by Knorr-Bremse EBS, MAN, Meritor (ex-WABCO) and Renault Trucks, and what the second half of the code (FMI) means in the standard.

Can I keep driving

Do not drive. Stop as soon as it’s safe to do so — don’t keep going.

What happens if you keep driving

Time you have: To the nearest safe stop

The code is flagged critical: the manufacturer considers it unsafe to keep driving without checking.

This code alone cannot say what will fail next, so stop at the first safe opportunity and look at it on the spot.

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