Ride Control Solenoid Valve Schematic

CID 0363 FMI 06 service code is recorded when the power train electronic control module (ECM) reads the current of the ride control solenoid circuit as above normal (short to ground).

Note: Ensure that the service code CID 0363 FMI 06 for the ride control solenoid is active. Before performing this procedure, refer to table 1 in order to determine the connector contact number and the wire number that corresponds to the failed circuit.

Connector contact number of the ECM.

Note: All solenoid return lines are joined to connect to contacts J1-7 and J2-3 (wire 975-WH) of the power train ECM.

Note: The approximate coil resistance of the solenoid valve is 20 to 60 Ohms.

Check the resistance of the solenoid.
1. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the OFF position.
1. Disconnect the machine harness from the suspected solenoid.
1. At the solenoid, measure the resistance between the two contacts of the solenoid connector.
  Expected Result: The resistance should be between 20 - 60 Ohms.
  Results:
  - OK - The solenoid resistance is correct. Go to Step 2.
  - NOT OK - The solenoid is failed. Replace the solenoid. STOP.

Check the solenoid for a short to ground.
The disconnect switch and the key start switch remain in the OFF position. The solenoid remains disconnected from the machine harness.
1. Measure the resistance from each solenoid contact to frame ground.
  Expected Result: Each resistance should be greater than 5000 Ohms.
  Results:
  - OK - The solenoid and the solenoid's harness are correct. The fault is in the machine harness. Go to Step 3.
  - NOT OK - The solenoid has failed. Replace the solenoid. STOP.

Check the solenoid signal circuit for a short to ground.
The machine harness remains disconnected from the solenoid.
1. The disconnect switch and the key start switch remain in the OFF position.
1. Disconnect the machine harness connectors J1 and J2 from the power train ECM.
1. At machine harness connector J1 or J2, measure the resistance from the solenoid signal contact (refer to table 1) to all possible sources of ground. The following pins are possible ground sources: J1-2, J1-5, J1-7, J1-15, J1-16, J2-3 and frame ground.
  Expected Result: Each resistance should be greater than 5000 Ohms.
  Results:
  - OK - The machine harness is correct. Proceed to next step.
  - NOT OK - There is a short in the machine harness. The short is between the wire for the solenoid signal (refer to table 1) and the circuit with low resistance measurement. Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness. STOP.

Check if the fault is still present.
1. Inspect the contacts and clean the contacts of the harness connectors.
1. Reconnect all harness connectors.
1. Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the ON position.
1. Operate the machine.
1. Stop the machine and engage the parking brake.
1. Check to see if the CID 0363 FMI 06 service code for the solenoid is active.
  Expected Result: The CID 0363 FMI 06 service code for the solenoid is active.
  Results:
  - YES - The fault has not been corrected. It is unlikely that the power train ECM is faulty. Perform the previous steps again. If the cause of the fault is not found, replace the power train ECM. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Control Module (Power Train) - Replace" for more information on replacing the power train ECM. STOP.
  - NO - Fault is NOT active. The fault does not exist at this time. The initial fault was probably caused by a poor electrical connection. Another cause could be a short at one of the harness connectors that was disconnected and reconnected. Resume normal machine operation. STOP.
