(1) "N/O" means Normally Open.
(2) "O" means open. (The circuit is open.)
(3) "R" means return. (There is less than 5 ohms resistance to the return circuit or ground.)
(4) "N/C" means Normally Closed.

This switch has two inputs to the ECM. The two inputs are N/O and N/C. During normal operation, one of the inputs is open. The other input is grounded. Table 1 shows the status of each circuit for the two positions of the switch. When a circuit is measured with a voltmeter, an open circuit will measure approximately 5 DCV and a closed circuit will measure approximately 0 DCV.

An FMI 03 diagnostic code is recorded when the status of both the inputs are open.

The possible causes of this diagnostic code are listed below:

  • The return circuit (wire G939-PK(Pink)) is open.

  • The "N/O" signal circuit (wire C976-YL(Yellow)) is open.

  • The "N/C" signal circuit (wire E417-OR(Orange)) is open.

  • The brake switch of the transmission control has failed.

  • The ECM has failed. This is unlikely.

Note: Ensure that the CID 0070 FMI 03 is on hold and that the diagnostic code indicator shows "SERV CODE". The diagnostic code will only be present when the speed/direction control lever is in the position which causes both inputs (N/O and N/C) to be open at the same time. If "SERV CODE" is NOT showing, move the speed/direction control lever to the position that causes "SERV CODE" to show.

Test Step 1. CHECK THE N/C CIRCUIT FOR PROPER OPERATION.

  1. Turn the key start switch to the OFF position.

  2. Disconnect the machine harness from the ECM.

  3. At the machine harness connector D, measure the resistance from contact D-21 (wire E417-OR(Orange)) to contact D-15 (wire G939-PK(Pink)).

Expected Result:

When the lever is out of the PARK position, there should be less than 5 ohms.

Results:

  • OK - The measurement is within an acceptable range. Proceed to test step 3.

  • NOT OK - The switch or the machine harness has failed. Proceed to test step 2.

Test Step 2. CHECK THE "N/C" CIRCUIT OF THE SWITCH.

This check determines whether the switch or the machine harness has failed.

  1. Disconnect wire C976-YL(Yellow) and wire E417-OR(Orange) from the parking brake switch.

  2. At the switch, measure the resistance between the "N/C" terminal and the common terminal.

Expected Result:

With the lever out of the PARK position, there should be less than 5 ohms of resistance.

Results:

  • OK - The resistance is within an acceptable range. The machine harness has failed.

    Repair: Either the "N/C" circuit (wire E417-OR(Orange)) or the return circuit (wire G939-PK(Pink)) is open in the machine harness. Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness.

    STOP

  • NOT OK - The resistance is not within an acceptable range. The switch has failed.

    Repair: Replace the parking brake switch. Verify that the new switch corrects the diagnostic code.

    STOP

Test Step 3. CHECK THE N/O CIRCUIT FOR PROPER OPERATION.

  1. At machine harness connector D, measure the resistance from contact D-22 (wire C976-YL(Yellow)) to contact D-15 (wire G939-PK(Pink)).

Expected Result:

With the speed/direction control lever in the PARK position, there should be less than 5 ohms of resistance.

Results:

  • OK - The resistance is within an acceptable range. Proceed to test step 5.

  • NOT OK - The resistance is not within an acceptable range. The switch or the machine harness has failed. Proceed to test step 4.

Test Step 4. CHECK THE "N/O" CIRCUIT OF SWITCH.

This check determines whether the switch or the machine harness has failed.

  1. Disconnect the wires C976-YL(Yellow) and E417-OR(Orange) from the parking brake switch.

  2. At the switch, measure the resistance between the "N/O" terminal and the common terminal.

Expected Result:

With the speed/direction control lever in the PARK position, there should be less than 5 ohms of resistance.

Results:

  • OK - The machine harness has failed.

    Repair: Either the "N/O" circuit (wire C976-YL(Yellow)) or the return circuit (wire G939-PK(Pink)) is open in the machine harness. Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness.

    STOP

  • NOT OK - The resistance is not within an acceptable range. The switch has failed.

    Repair: Replace the parking brake switch. Verify that the new switch corrects the diagnostic code.

    STOP

Test Step 5. CHECK IF THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE REMAINS.

  1. Clean the contacts of the harness connectors.

  2. Reconnect all harness connections.

  3. Turn the key start switch to the ON position.

  4. Enter the service mode of the AVSpare Monitoring System and clear all inactive diagnostic codes.

  5. Operate the machine.

  6. Determine if CID 0070 FMI 03 is present.

Expected Result:

The CID 0070 FMI 03 is NOT present. "SERV CODE" is NOT showing.

Results:

  • YES - The diagnostic code is NOT present. The problem does not exist at this time. The initial problem was probably caused by a poor electrical connection or a short at one of the harness connectors that was disconnected and reconnected. Resume normal machine operation.

    STOP

  • NO - The diagnostic code has not been corrected. It is unlikely that the ECM has failed.

    Repair: Exit this procedure and perform this procedure again. If the diagnostic code is still present, replace the ECM. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Replace".
