SPN 520207 is a manufacturer number outside the standard J1939 table: different makes can put different things under it. Below — how it is worded by KAMAZ, MAZ, Volvo and YaMZ, and what the second half of the code (FMI) means.
| FMI 3 | Fuel filter electric heater |
| FMI 4 | Fuel filter electric heater |
| FMI 3 | Fuel filter heating element circuit fault - Short to battery positive. Blink code: 2-1-6. Repair: Check the fuel filter heater element and its wiring. |
| FMI 4 | Fuel filter heating element circuit fault - Short to ground. Blink code: 2-1-6. Repair: Check the fuel filter heater element and its wiring. |
| FMI 5 | LCM output current to the lamp is below 0.1 A. Open supply wire between the LCM and the lamp, open wire between the lamp and the ground point, or lamp failure. |
| FMI 6 | LCM output current to the lamp is above 2.6 A. Wire shorted to ground between the LCM and the lamp. Possibly several lamps are connected, or a higher-wattage lamp is installed. |
| FMI 3 | Fuel filter heating element circuit fault (Short to battery positive). Blink code: 2-1-6. Repair: Check the fuel filter heater element and its wiring. |
| FMI 4 | Fuel filter heating element circuit fault (Short to ground). Blink code: 2-1-6. Repair: Check the fuel filter heater element and its wiring. |
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.
