the speed sensor. An open or short circuit between the speed sensor and the
tachograph, the contacts in the speed sensor or tachograph connector are
oxidized or damaged, the speed sensor is faulty.

FMI 12 Speed sensor defective.

FMI 14 Communication error between the tachograph unit and the speed
sensor. Missing or invalid pulse from the speed sensor. Open or short circuit
between the speed sensor and tachograph, the contacts in the speed sensor or
tachograph connector are oxidized or damaged, the speed sensor is faulty, the
gear wheel in the transmission is damaged.

Fault:

FMI 12 Faulty power source for the print device inside the tachograph or the
temperature of the head of the print device is out of the set limits. Wait a while
for the head to cool. Restart the print device by disconnecting it from the
power supply (A1 connector).

FMI 14 The printout is out of paper.
