(1) This multimeter can use an RS232C cable to connect to a Laptop computer or Dataview tool gp for troubleshooting.

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 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 this diagnostic code is active before performing a troubleshooting procedure.

  1. Identify the active FMI code associated with the components.

  2. Determine which code is present and use the list below to determine which procedure to follow.

  • FMI 6 diagnostic code, proceed to "FMI 6".

FMI 6

Table 3
Check The Solenoid 
Troubleshooting Test Steps  Values  Results 
1. Turn the start switch and the disconnect switch OFF.

2. Disconnect the solenoid from the machine harness.

3. Turn the start switch and the disconnect switch ON. Do not start the engine.

4. Observe the status of the diagnostic code. 
The FMI 6 changes to an FMI 5 after the solenoid is disconnected.  Result: The circuit is correct. The solenoid has failed.

Repair: Repeat the test. Verify the solenoid failure. Replace the solenoid.

Proceed to "Check If The Diagnostic Code Remains" Table 5.

Result: The diagnostic code remains active.

Proceed to "Check Machine Harness For A Short To Ground" Table 4. 

Table 4
Check Machine Harness For A Short To Ground 
Troubleshooting Test Steps  Values  Results 
1. The machine harness remains disconnected from the solenoid.

2. Turn the start switch and the disconnect switch OFF.

3. Disconnect the harness connectors from the ECM.

4. At the harness connector for the ECM, measure the resistance between the solenoid signal contact and all ground contacts. 
Each reading is greater than 5K Ω.  Result: Machine harness correct.

Proceed to "Check If The Diagnostic Code Remains" Table 5.

Result: One or more of the resistance measurements are less than 5 Ω. A short circuit exists in the machine harness.

Repair: A short circuit exists between the signal wire and the circuit with the low resistance. Repair or replace the machine harness.

Note: A resistance that is greater than 5 Ω but less than 5K Ω would indicate a loose connection or a corroded connection in the circuit. A resistance measurement that is greater than 5K Ω would indicate an open in the circuit.

Proceed to "Check If The Diagnostic Code Remains" Table 5. 

Table 5
Check If The Diagnostic Code Remains 
Troubleshooting Test Steps  Values  Results 
1. Reconnect all harness connectors. Return machine to normal operating condition.

2. Turn the start switch and the disconnect switch ON.

3. Clear all diagnostic codes.

4. Operate the machine.

5. Stop the machine and engage the safety.

6. Check if the diagnostic code is active. 
The diagnostic code is no longer present.  Result: The diagnostic code does not exist currently. The initial diagnostic code may have been caused by poor electrical connection or short at one of the harness connections. Resume machine operation.

STOP.

Result: The diagnostic trouble code has not been corrected. If the diagnostic code has not been corrected after performing the procedure a second time, the ECM may require replacement.

Prior to replacing the ECM, always contact the Technical Communicator at your dealership for possible consultation with AVSpare. This consultation may effect repair time.

Follow the steps in Troubleshooting, M0120325, "ECM - Replace" if the ECM needs to be replaced.
