SPN 645 — Engine Tachometer Output Signal

Safe to driveDrivable, but watch it yourself

J1939 code SPN 645. Below — how the fault is worded at the factory by KAMAZ, Knorr-Bremse EBS, MAN, MAZ and YaMZ, and what the second half of the code (FMI) means in the standard.

MAZ

FMI 3Vehicle speed sensor fault - Pulse width above maximum. Blink code: 3-2-4. Repair: Check the vehicle speed sensor and its wiring. Check the CAN bus connection.
FMI 4Vehicle speed sensor fault - Pulse width below minimum. Blink code: 3-2-4. Repair: Check the vehicle speed sensor and its wiring. Check the CAN bus connection.
FMI 12Vehicle speed sensor fault - Signal invalid. Blink code: 3-2-4. Repair: Check the vehicle speed sensor and its wiring. Check the CAN bus connection.

YaMZ

FMI 3Vehicle speed sensor fault (Pulse width greater than maximum). Blink code: 3-2-4. Repair: Check the vehicle speed sensor and its wiring. Check the CAN bus connection.
FMI 4Vehicle speed sensor fault (Pulse width less than minimum). Blink code: 3-2-4. Repair: Check the vehicle speed sensor and its wiring. Check the CAN bus connection.
FMI 12Vehicle speed sensor fault (Signal incorrect). Blink code: 3-2-4. Repair: Check the vehicle speed sensor and its wiring. Check the CAN bus connection.

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: Drivable, but watch it yourself

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.
