| FMI 6 | Differential Lock State - Rear Axle 1 — Forward Rear Diff Lock Relay Over Current |
| SPN 569 FMI 5569/5 · 569.5 | current below normal or open circuit |
| SPN 569 FMI 6569/6 · 569.6 | 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.
