jgosse01 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Does anyone know what this code is "VECU 40 -4"? Does anyone have a good fuse panel diagram for this model? Runs great at idle, after driving for a couple mins it looses throttle control but stays running. I now VECU controls vehicle speed. It throws a 84-9 vehicle speed code. has brand new speed sensor. Also noticed coolant gauge goes in and out but has new temp sensor and the digital display is reading correctly. I believe it is all related to the VECU any help would be appreciated!!!

jgosse01 Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 We have 9 Macks all running the same DELETE by the same person. Im just not familiar with Macks and Volvos. Ive never heard of coolant temp causing derate, normally coolant issue causes shut down to protect the engine.

Joey Mack Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 There is a differential pressure sensor in the cab that measures the output of the heater fan related to how far the windows may be open, divided by barometric pressure, plus the exterior wind speed that calculates the pressure difference when a steering wheel holder "Off Gas's" his Sushi lunch and herbal tea... Then the cab NoX sensor will calculate how much greenhouse gas is in the off gasing, and determine how much more the door windows need to be adjusted, so as to not affect the Metasphere... Its easy to understand if you take a minute.. Just sayin'.....

Onyx610 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 ABS can derate the engine if there is discrepancy between wheel speed at the ABS sensors and at the road speed sensor Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70735-2012-cxu-613-vin-026197-vecu-spn-40-fmi-4-code/#findComment-515694 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackpro Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 As Onxy said the ABS and ATC system can cause dead throttle pedal issues. I thought it was only on the M-drive trans trucks but also happens on outer manual trans trucks . It was throw a Speedo sensor code as well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70735-2012-cxu-613-vin-026197-vecu-spn-40-fmi-4-code/#findComment-515701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackpro Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 On our trucks this sometimes happens when it rains or we wash the trucks. The rubbed bare wires in the frame rails seem to short out more easily when it rains or wet. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70735-2012-cxu-613-vin-026197-vecu-spn-40-fmi-4-code/#findComment-515702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackpro Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 The VECU code PSID40 FMI 4 is for your daytime running light module missing from the fuse panel. Lots of drivers pull them out and throw them away for some reason. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70735-2012-cxu-613-vin-026197-vecu-spn-40-fmi-4-code/#findComment-515722 Share on other sites More sharing options...
