Schematic of the Transmission Oil Temperature Sensor | |
The CID 0041 FMI 03 diagnostic code is recorded when the power train electronic control module (ECM) reads the voltage of the sensor supply circuit (wire 709-OR) as more than 8 DCV. This failure may cause the transmission oil temperature to be incorrect. This will affect the quality of the shift.
The possible causes for this diagnostic code are listed:
- The signal circuit for the sensor is open.
- The sensor supply circuit to the transmission oil temperature sensor is shorted to the +battery circuit.
- A sensor has failed.
- The power circuit or the ground circuit has failed.
- The power train ECM has failed. This 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 0041 FMI 03 is active before performing this procedure.
Note: Use the 146-4080 Digital Multimeter for the measurements in this procedure.
Test Step 1. CHECK FOR POWER AT THE SENSOR
- Do not disconnect the harness connector from the sensor.
- Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the ON position.
- At the back of the harness connector for the sensor, insert a 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe along the voltage supply wire (contact "A").
- Measure the voltage from contact "A" to frame ground.
Expected Result:
The voltage is approximately 8 volts.
Results:
- OK - The voltage is approximately 8 volts. Proceed to Test Step 3.
- NOT OK - The voltage is not approximately 8 volts. The supply circuit in the machine harness has failed. Proceed to Test Step 2.
Test Step 2. CHECK THE WIRING HARNESS OF THE SENSOR FOR AN OPEN CIRCUIT
- The key start switch and the disconnect switch remain in the OFF position.
- Disconnect the machine harness from the sensor.
- At the harness connector for the sensor, connect a jumper wire between contact "B" and contact "A".
- Disconnect the machine harness connector(s) from the ECM.
- At the harness connector for the ECM, measure the resistance between contact J1-16 (wire 962-OR) and contact J2-12 (wire 709-OR).
Expected Result:
The resistance measurement is less than 5 ohms.
Results:
- OK - The resistance measurement is less than 5 ohms. The circuit is correct. Proceed to Test Step 4.
- NOT OK - The resistance is greater than 5 ohms. The circuit is not correct. There is an open circuit in the wiring harness.
Repair: There is an open circuit in the wiring harness. Repair the wiring harness or replace the wiring harness.
Stop.
Test Step 3. CHECK FOR PROPER GROUND AT THE SENSOR
- The machine harness remains connected to the sensor.
- Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the OFF position.
- Remove the 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe from the voltage supply wire (contact "A").
- At the back of the harness connector for the sensor, insert a 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe along the ground wire (contact "B").
- Measure the resistance from contact "B" to frame ground.
Expected Result:
The resistance is less than 5 ohms.
Results:
- OK - The resistance is less than 5 ohms. The ground circuit is correct. Proceed to Test Step 4.
- NOT OK - The resistance is greater than 5 ohms. The ground circuit in the machine harness has failed.
Repair: Replace the machine harness or repair the machine harness.
Stop.
Test Step 4. CHECK THE WIRING HARNESS OF THE SENSOR FOR A SHORT TO THE +BATTERY CIRCUIT
- The key start switch and the disconnect switch remain in the OFF position.
- The machine harness remains disconnected from the sensor. Remove the jumper wire that was installed in the previous step.
- The machine harness connector(s) remains disconnected from the ECM.
- Measure the resistance from the contact J1-12 (wire 709-OR) to all of the contacts that are used in 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 5.
- NOT OK - One or more resistance measurements is not correct. There is a short in the machine harness. The short is between signal contact J1-12 (wire 709-OR) and the circuit with the low resistance measurement. Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness. Stop.
Test Step 5. CHECK IF THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE REMAINS
- Inspect the contacts of the harness connectors and clean the connectors.
- 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 0041 FMI 03.
Expected Result:
The CID 0041 FMI 03 is active.
Results:
- YES - The CID 0041 FMI 03 is active. The diagnostic code has not been corrected. The ECM may have failed.
Repair: It is unlikely that the ECM has failed. Exit this procedure and perform this procedure again. If the cause of the diagnostic code is not found, replace the ECM. See Troubleshooting, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Replace".
Stop.
- NO - The CID 0041 FMI 03 is not active. The diagnostic code does not exist at this time.
Repair: The initial diagnostic code 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.
