This diagnostic code is associated with the Position Sensor (Steering Wheel) for the operator panel (left station). The FMI 04 means that the ECM has determined that the voltage of the circuit for the position sensor is below normal.
The output frequency of the position sensor is approximately 500 Hz. The duty cycle of the signal changes as the position sensor moves. The duty cycle varies from 5 to 95 percent.
A - Approximate position of 10 percent duty cycle
B - Approximate position of 50 percent duty cycle
C - Approximate position of 90 percent duty cycle
The possible causes of this diagnostic code are listed below:
- The signal circuit for the sensor is shorted to ground.
- The sensor has failed.
- The ECM has failed. ECM failure is unlikely.
Note: The following test procedure may create other diagnostic codes. Ignore these created diagnostic codes and clear the diagnostic codes when the original diagnostic code has been corrected. Ensure that the diagnostic code of CID 1727 FMI 04 is active before performing this procedure.
Note: Use the 146-4080 Digital Multimeter for the measurements in this procedure.
System Response:
When the diagnostic code is active, the following response occurs:
- The machine is not able to move in any direction.
- The fault lamp for the propulsion system is ON.
- The action lamp and the action alarm are ON.
Test Step 1. CHECK THE SENSOR
- Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the ON position.
- Ensure that the diagnostic code is active.
- Observe the status of the diagnostic code. Disconnect the sensor from the machine harness.
Expected Result:
The CID 1727 FMI 04 remains active. The FMI has not changed and the "04" is still active.
Results:
- OK - The diagnostic code remains active. The sensor is correct. Proceed to Test Step 2.
- NOT OK - The diagnostic code is no longer active. The sensor has failed.
Repair: Replace the sensor.
STOP
Test Step 2. CHECK THE WIRING HARNESS OF THE SENSOR FOR A SHORT TO GROUND.
- Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the OFF position.
- Disconnect the machine harness from the sensor.
- Disconnect the machine harness connectors from the ECM.
- At the machine harness connector for the ECM, measure the resistance from the signal contact J1-16 (wire A334-BU) of the machine harness to all possible sources of ground. Measure the resistance to all contacts of the machine harness connectors for the ECM.
Expected Result:
Each resistance measurement is greater than 5000 ohms.
Results:
- OK - Each resistance measurement is greater than 5000 ohms. The machine harness is correct. Proceed to Test Step 3.
- NOT OK - One or more resistance measurements are not correct. There is a short in the machine harness.
Repair: The short is between signal contact J1-16 (wire A334-BU) and the circuit with the low resistance measurement. Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness.
STOP
Test Step 3. CHECK IF THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE REMAINS.
- Inspect the contacts of the harness connectors and clean the contacts.
- Reconnect all harness connectors.
- Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the ON position.
- Operate the machine.
- Check the status of the CID 1727 FMI 04.
Expected Result:
The CID 1727 FMI 04 is active.
Results:
- YES - The CID 1727 FMI 04 is active. The diagnostic code has not been corrected. The ECM may have failed.
Repair: ECM failure is unlikely. Exit this procedure and perform this procedure again. If the cause of the diagnostic code is not found, replace the ECM. See Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Replace"
STOP
- NO - The CID 1727 FMI 04 is not active. The diagnostic code does not exist at this time.
Repair: The initial diagnostic code may have been caused by a poor electrical connection that was corrected when a harness connector was disconnected and reconnected. Resume normal machine operation
STOP
