What is SPN 1066 FMI 2 & How to Solve It?

What is SPN 1066 FMI 2:

SPN 1066 FMI 2 refers to a problem with the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve Control Circuit. FMI 2 suggests an issue with the circuit, typically a short or open circuit, affecting the EGR valve's ability to properly control exhaust gas recirculation, leading to engine inefficiency and higher emissions.

‍

Why This Happens:

• Faulty EGR valve.
  
• Damaged wiring or short circuit in the control circuit.
  
• Loose or corroded connectors in the EGR circuit.
  
• Malfunctioning exhaust gas recirculation system.
  
• ECM failure to interpret the EGR valve’s signals correctly.
  
  

How to Fix It:

1. Inspect the EGR valve and wiring for damage or malfunction.
   
2. Test the control circuit for continuity and ensure it is not shorted.
   
3. Check the connectors for corrosion or loose connections.
   
4. Replace the faulty EGR valve or components if necessary.
   
5. Inspect the exhaust system for contamination or blockage.
   
   

How to Avoid It Before It Happens:

• Regularly inspect the EGR valve and wiring.
  
• Keep connectors clean and free from debris or moisture.
  
• Perform routine maintenance on the exhaust system to ensure it remains free of blockages.
  
• Use diagnostic tools to monitor EGR valve performance.
  
• Clue’s Equipment Maintenance services track EGR system performance, allowing for early detection of potential issues.
