The solenoid is used to shutoff, release, distribute, or mix fluids on the machine. Generally, multiple solenoids are located together on a manifold. The solenoid converts electrical energy into magnetic energy, moving a spool located inside the housing of the valve. A spring is used to hold the spool in position until the solenoid is energized.

The magnetic force that acts on the valve spool is created when a coil inside the solenoid is energized.

Possible Causes for an FMI 3 Diagnostic code are:

  • The harness is shorted.

  • The Machine ECM has failed. A failure of the ECM is unlikely.

Possible Causes for an FMI 4 Diagnostic code are:

  • The harness is shorted.

  • The Machine ECM has failed. A failure of the ECM is unlikely.

Possible causes for an FMI 5 Diagnostic code are:

  • There is an open in the circuit.

  • The solenoid has failed.

  • The Machine ECM has failed. A failure of the ECM is unlikely.

Possible causes for an FMI 6 Diagnostic code are:

  • A wire is shorted to ground.

  • The solenoid has failed.

  • The Machine ECM has failed. A failure of the ECM is unlikely.

Possible causes for an FMI 13 Diagnostic code are:

  • New software has been flashed to the ECM.

  • The ECM has been replaced.

Note: Prior to beginning this procedure, inspect the harness connectors that are involved in this circuit. Poor connections can often be the cause of a problem in an electrical circuit. Verify that all connections in the circuit are clean, secure, and in good condition. Check the wiring harness for pinch points or abrasions. Look for and repair areas that indicate wires are exposed. If a problem with a connection is found, correct the problem and verify that the diagnostic code is active before performing a troubleshooting procedure.
