Do not driveTo the nearest safe stop
SPN 4059 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 and MAN, and what the second half of the code (FMI) means.
| FMI 1 | Sensor steering angle signal. Too high |
| FMI 3 | Sensor steering angle signal. Not identified |
| FMI 1 | Sensor steering angle signal - Too high |
| FMI 3 | Sensor steering angle signal - Not identified |
| SPN 4059 FMI 14059/1 · 4059.1 | data below normal range (most severe level) |
| SPN 4059 FMI 34059/3 · 4059.3 | voltage above normal or shorted high |
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.
