SPN 4340 — AdBlue Line Heater 1 State, Aftertreatment 1

Safe to driveEnough to reach the yard

J1939 code SPN 4340. Below — how the fault is worded at the factory by Dongfeng and SITRAK, and what the second half of the code (FMI) means in the standard.

Dongfeng

FMI 3Short circuit to power or open circuit of urea heater 1. Scan tool code: P3032. Effect: In cold weather the SCR system cannot thaw.
FMI 4Short circuit to ground of urea heater 1. Scan tool code: P3031. Effect: In cold weather the SCR system cannot thaw.

SITRAK

FMI 2Over-temperature of the DEF line heater powerstage. Scan tool code: P20C1. Effect: Torque limited, the engine may shut down.
FMI 3Low-side short to battery on the DEF suction line heater. Scan tool code: P3032. Effect: In cold weather the SCR system cannot thaw.
FMI 4Low-side short to ground on the DEF suction line heater. Scan tool code: P3031. Effect: In cold weather the SCR system cannot thaw.
FMI 5Open circuit on the high side of the DEF suction line heater. Scan tool code: P3028. Effect: In cold weather the SCR system cannot thaw.
FMI 6Over-temperature on the low side of the DEF suction line heater. Scan tool code: P3081. Effect: In cold weather the SCR system cannot thaw.

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: Enough to reach the yard

Urea dosing is interrupted and the ECU is counting. First the lamp, then a torque cut, then a forced crawl speed — the stages come in by engine hours, not all at once.

The truck will not die mid-highway, but the window shrinks with every running hour. Plan the repair now, not when the power is gone: an emulator or "deleting AdBlue" does not remove the problem, the codes keep stacking.

What to check on the spot

Fill the AdBlue tank. If it’s already full, the problem is dosing or reductant quality — you need a scanner.

Nearby: AdBlue / exhaust

Scanner threw several codes at once? Paste the whole list — we will show which one is the root cause and which ones simply followed.
