Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is a technique for controlling analog circuits with digital outputs. The duty cycle of a square wave is modulated to encode a specific analog signal level. The duty cycle is the ratio of the on-time to the period. The modulating frequency is the inverse of the period. The duty cycle is programmed into the software of the ECM.

1. Perform the calibration procedure for the sensor. Refer to the calibration procedure in Testing and Adjusting manual for this machine.

2. Observe the status of the diagnostic code. 
The code is no longer active.  Result: The FMI 13 is no longer active. The calibration corrected the condition that caused the diagnostic code.

Proceed to "Check If The Diagnostic Code Remains" Table 21.

Result: The FMI 13 Code is active. The diagnostic code has not been corrected. Verify that the correct software has been flashed into the ECM, or that the correct ECM is installed on the machine. Then repeat the calibration.

Proceed to "Check If The Diagnostic Code Remains" Table 21. 

Table 21
Check If The Diagnostic Code Remains 
Troubleshooting Test Steps  Values  Results 
1. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch ON.

2. Clear all diagnostic codes.

3. Operate the machine.

4. Stop the machine and engage the safety lock lever.

5. 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.

For more information refer to the "ECM - Replace" section if the ECM needs to be replaced.
