Renault Trucks

FMI 3Injector 6, cylinder 4, short to battery voltage. Repair: Check the injector (impedance at 20 °C from 0.3 to 0.5 ohms) and the wiring (A 22, A 42, A 43).
FMI 4Cylinder 4 injector (unit pump) — short to ground or open circuit. Repair: Check the pump winding and the wiring (J 1/24, J 1/41). Check the injector (impedance at 20 °C from 0.3 to 0.5 ohms). Check injectors 4, 5 and 6.
FMI 5Injector 6, cylinder 4, open circuit. Repair: Check the injector (impedance at 20 °C from 0.3 to 0.5 ohms).
FMI 8Pump or injector of cylinder 4, mechanical fault. Repair: Mechanical fault.
FMI 11Injector 6, cylinder 4, unidentified fault. Repair: Check the injector (impedance at 20 °C from 0.3 to 0.5 ohms) and the wiring (A 22, A 42, A 43). If the fault persists, replace the EECU.

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: To the nearest safe stop

Fuel is not arriving in the right amount or at the right pressure. It shows up first on climbs and under load.

You will most likely stall out on the road, and may not restart on the shoulder. A clogged filter or water in the tank you can nurse to a shop; a failing injection pump you cannot.

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.

What to check on the spot

Check the fuel filter and water trap, drain the water. In cold weather, suspect fuel waxing.

Where to start

This code is often not the fault itself but a knock-on. If any of these is in the same readout, start with it:
