Safe to driveDrivable, but watch it yourself
J1939 code SPN 706. Below — how the fault is worded at the factory by Mercedes-Benz and Meritor (ex-WABCO), and what the second half of the code (FMI) means in the standard.
| FMI 3 | Digital Output 3/10 Circuit shorted to Ubat |
| FMI 4 | Digital Output 3/10 Circuit shorted to GND |
| FMI 5 | Digital Output 3/10 Open Circuit (broken wire, terminal floating) |
| FMI 3 | Failure detection 'ShortUb' at Auxiliary Output (3/2 Valve Regeneration) |
| FMI 4 | Failure detection 'ShortGnd' at Auxiliary Output (3/2 Valve Regeneration) |
| FMI 5 | Failure detection 'Interruption' at Auxiliary Output (3/2 Valve Regeneration) |
| FMI 13 | Failure detection 'OverEquipped' at Auxiliary Output (3/2 Valve Regeneration) |
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.
