SPN 1136 — Engine ECU Temperature

Safe to driveDrivable, but watch it yourself

J1939 code SPN 1136. Below — how the fault is worded at the factory by Dongfeng and SITRAK, and what the second half of the code (FMI) means in the standard.

Dongfeng

FMI 2Incorrect ECM internal temperature sensor signal
FMI 3Short circuit to power or open circuit of the ECM internal temperature sensor. Scan tool code: P0669. Effect: Torque limited, the engine may shut down.
FMI 4Short circuit to ground of the ECM internal temperature sensor. Scan tool code: P0668. Effect: Torque limited, the engine may shut down.

SITRAK

FMI 3ECU internal temperature sensor voltage above the upper limit. Scan tool code: P0669. Effect: Torque limited, the engine may shut down.
FMI 4ECU internal temperature sensor voltage below the lower limit. Scan tool code: P0668. Effect: Torque limited, the engine may shut down.
FMI 16ECU temperature above the upper limit. Scan tool code: P0666. Effect: Fan and warm-up control may misbehave.
FMI 18ECU temperature below the lower limit. Scan tool code: P0666. Effect: Fan and warm-up control may misbehave.

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: Drivable, but watch it yourself

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.
