Safe to driveUntil the next service

SPN 201 is a manufacturer number outside the standard J1939 table: different makes can put different things under it. Below — how it is worded by Ford Trucks and Renault Trucks, and what the second half of the code (FMI) means.

Ford Trucks

Ford Trucks/Ecotorq writes fault numbers in its own format: the code in the table below is a Ford code (hexadecimal, zero-padded), not a J1939 SPN. It matches the standard only where the signal itself is standard, and usually matches the title of this page by digit alone.
