SPN 4036 is a manufacturer number outside the standard J1939 table: different makes can put different things under it. Below — how it is worded by Knorr-Bremse EBS, MAN and Renault Trucks, and what the second half of the code (FMI) means.

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.
