John Deere J1939 Fault Codes

What this page covers
314 SPN/FMI fault pairs published by John Deere in 2 fault-code documents, as they appear in the MechanicDB Heavy Duty dataset. The dataset maps every pair to an authored fault family with FMI-informed procedure consideration order, difficulty ratings, parts-cost ranges and labour estimates where known; this page shows the coverage and the rows that are in the free sample.
