Safe to driveTo the nearest safe stop

J1939 code SPN 126. Below — how the fault is worded at the factory by Renault Trucks and ZF AS-Tronic, and what the second half of the code (FMI) means in the standard.

Renault Trucks

FMI 3Air pressure signal fault. Repair: Switch the ignition off, switch it on again and repeat the test. If the fault persists, replace the control unit.

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 3No signal from the pressure sensor.

Can I keep driving

What happens if you keep driving

Time you have: To the nearest safe stop

The gearbox or clutch has gone into limp mode: some gears may be unavailable and an automated box may stop shifting under load.

The main risk is being left on a climb with no gear and rolling back. Do not take a loaded truck into the hills; reaching level ground and a shop is fine.
