Fault Code 188: Source Address (SA) of Controlling Device for Engine Control

J1939: SA 3 SPN 1483 FMI 12, 13, 19

Overview

The Transmission Control Module (TCM) sends and receives the Source Address of Controlling Device for Engine Control message to and from a vehicle Electronic Control Unit (ECU) over the Primary Data Link (J1939A). This message is used by the TCM to confirm the Engine ECU is receiving messages and responding to its messages.

Detection

The TCM monitors Source Address of Controlling Device for Engine Control messages. If messages are not received or are invalid, the fault is set Active.

Conditions to Set Fault Code Active

FMI 12 – Bad Intelligent Device: Engine ECU did not respond TCM command messages for 5 seconds.

FMI 13 – Out Of Calibration: Source Address of Controlling Device for Engine Control message not available for 5 seconds.

FMI 19 – Received Network Data In Error: Source Address of Controlling Device for Engine Control message received but in error for 5 seconds.
