J1939 code SPN 1268. Below — how the fault is worded at the factory by SITRAK, and what the second half of the code (FMI) means in the standard.
| FMI 5 | Cylinder 1 main ignition coil open circuit, or coil driver side short circuit to ground |
| FMI 6 | Cylinder 1 main ignition coil short circuit |
| FMI 11 | Cylinder 1 spark plug or ignition coil fault |
| SPN 1268 FMI 51268/5 · 1268.5 | current below normal or open circuit |
| SPN 1268 FMI 61268/6 · 1268.6 | current above normal or grounded circuit |
| SPN 1268 FMI 111268/11 · 1268.11 | root cause not known |
Safe to drive. Below — how much time you have and what happens if you keep going.
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.
