Fault Code 345 Engine (Over) Speed

J1939: SA 3 SPN 5052 FMI 0

Overview

The Transmission Control Module (TCM)) receives the vehicle’s Engine Speed messages from a vehicle Electronic Control Unit (ECU) over the Primary Data Link (J1939A). The TCM uses the Engine Speed as the primary engine speed message during normal transmission operation. The Primary Data Link is connected to the TCM at the 20-Way TCM Vehicle Harness Connector.

Detection

The TCM monitors Engine Speed messages. If messages are not received or are invalid, the TCM sets the fault code Active.
