Fault meaning and symptoms
The document defines fault code 3186 as Tachograph Output Shaft Speed – Abnormal Update Rate. Normally, switches, accelerators, and other components are connected to the engine electronic control module (ECM) directly through individual wires. Multiplexing allows those same components to be hard wired to an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) vehicle electronic control unit (VECU) or transmission electronic control unit (ECU) in the cab. The condition is monitored on SPN 1623, FMI 9/9, and is annunciated with an amber CHECK ENGINE / malfunction indicator lamp. Each fault is worked with the INSITE electronic service tool, cross-referencing associated procedures 019-362, 019-361, 019-360, 019-071, 019-032.
