Safe to driveDrivable, but watch it yourself
SPN 196770 is a manufacturer number outside the standard J1939 table: different makes can put different things under it. Below — how it is worded by Iveco, and what the second half of the code (FMI) means.
| FMI 3 | NOx sensor plausibility fault (measured vs. simulated value mismatch) |
| SPN 196770 FMI 3196770/3 · 196770.3 | voltage above normal or shorted high |
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.
