WABCO J1939 Fault Codes

What this page covers
561 SPN/FMI fault pairs published by WABCO 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.

Standard and OEM-assigned SPNs

106 distinct SPNs appear in these pairs. 273 of the 561 pairs use SPNs that WABCO assigns itself (516,096 and above), named from its own documents; the rest use standard SPNs whose meaning is the same on every make.

Sample rows

Rows for this OEM from the free sample. The dataset adds the ordered procedures for every pair, with cost and labour estimates where known and a part name where one is mapped.
