Do not driveTo the nearest safe stop
SPN 193 is a manufacturer number outside the standard J1939 table: different makes can put different things under it. Below — how it is worded by Renault Trucks and ZF AS-Tronic, and what the second half of the code (FMI) means.
| FMI 1 | Astronic control unit temperature too high. Repair: Clear the fault codes and take a test drive to confirm the fault. Switch the ignition off, switch it on again and repeat the test. If the fault persists, replace the control unit. |
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 1 | Transmission control unit temperature too high. |
| SPN 193 FMI 1193/1 · 193.1 | data below normal range (most severe level) |
Do not drive. Stop as soon as it’s safe to do so — don’t keep going.
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.
