| FMI 12 | Compass Bearing — Sensor Fault/ Compass Bearing |
| FMI 8 | Pedal position, erroneous signal. Repair: Check that the accelerator pedal position changes correctly. Run the diagnostic check of the EECU. Check the programming. Switch the ignition off, switch it on again and repeat the test. If the fault persists, replace the control unit. |

| FMI 8 | No CAN bus signal: "electronic accelerator pedal position". |
| SPN 165 FMI 8165/8 · 165.8 | abnormal frequency or pulse width |
