SPN 43 is a manufacturer number outside the standard J1939 table: different makes can put different things under it. Below — how it is worded by Meritor (ex-WABCO), and what the second half of the code (FMI) means.
| FMI 3 | Power Amp. In Valve Right Front — Shorted to Battery |
| FMI 5 | Power Amp. In Valve Right Front — Open Circuit |
| FMI 6 | Power Amp. In Valve Right Front — Short to Ground |
| SPN 43 FMI 343/3 · 43.3 | voltage above normal or shorted high |
| SPN 43 FMI 543/5 · 43.5 | current below normal or open circuit |
| SPN 43 FMI 643/6 · 43.6 | current above normal or grounded circuit |
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.
