SPN 3509 — Sensor Supply Voltage 1

Safe to driveTo the nearest safe stop

J1939 code SPN 3509. Below — how the fault is worded at the factory by Dongfeng, MAZ, Meritor (ex-WABCO), SITRAK and YaMZ, and what the second half of the code (FMI) means in the standard.

Dongfeng

FMI 3Sensor No. 1 supply voltage too high. Effect: ECAS air suspension functions may be limited.
FMI 4Sensor No. 1 supply voltage too low. Effect: ECAS air suspension functions may be limited.

MAZ

FMI 3Sensor supply 1 fault - Sensor supply voltage high. Blink code: 1-3-1. Power will be reduced. Repair: Check the harnesses and the sensors connected to the engine ECU.
FMI 4Sensor supply 1 fault - Sensor supply voltage low. Blink code: 1-3-1. Power will be reduced. Repair: Check the harnesses and the sensors connected to the engine ECU.

Can I keep driving

Safe to drive. Below — how much time you have and what happens if you keep going.

What happens if you keep driving

Time you have: To the nearest safe stop

The electrical system is not holding voltage. While the engine runs the alternator carries it; shut it off and you may not restart.

Next the lights go, then modules start dropping out and false codes appear all over the truck. Get to somewhere with help without shutting the engine down.

What to check on the spot

Check the battery terminals and earth strap — corrosion and loose clamps throw false codes all over the truck. Running voltage should be 27–29 V.
