MID 039 - Machine Control Module
CID 0730 - Auto/Manual Cab Switch
FMI 03 - Voltage Above Normal
Illustration 1 | g03204492 |
The Autonomous/Manual Mode Cab Switch has two inputs to the Input/Output Module (I/O Module). The two inputs are normally open and normally closed. During normal operation, one of the inputs is open. The other input is grounded. When a circuit is measured with a voltmeter, an open circuit will measure approximately 13 DCV to ground and a closed circuit will measure approximately 0 DCV to ground.
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 A274-BK(Black)) is open.
- Switch contact "1" signal circuit (wire F901-GY(Grey)) is permanently open.
- Switch contact "3" signal circuit (wire F900-WH(White)) is permanently open.
- The switch has failed.
- The Input/Output Module (I/O Module) has failed. This failure is unlikely.
Before performing this procedure, inspect the harness connectors that are involved in the circuit. Poor connections can often be the cause of a problem in an electrical circuit. Verify that all connections in the circuit are clean, secure and in good condition. If a problem with a connection is found, correct the problem and verify that this diagnostic code is active before performing this procedure.

Note: Ensure that the diagnostic code CID 0729 - FMI 03 is active before performing this procedure.
Test Step 1. CHECK THE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Turn the disconnect switch and the keyswitch to the OFF position.
- Disconnect the machine harness connectors from the I/O Module.
- Disconnect the switch from the machine harness.
- Measure the resistance between chassis ground and contact 2 (wire A274-BK(Black)) at the machine harness connector for the switch.
Expected Result:
The resistance should be less than 5 ohms.
Results:
- OK - The resistance is less than 5 ohms. Proceed to Test Step 2.
- NOT OK - The resistance is greater than 5 ohms.
Repair: The return circuit (wire A274-BK(Black)) is open in the machine harness. Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness.
STOP
Test Step 2. CHECK THE SWITCH
- Check for continuity between contact 1 and contact 2 of the switch.
- Press the switch and then release the switch while checking for continuity.
- Check for continuity between contact 2 and contact 3 of the switch.
- Press the switch and then release the switch while checking for continuity.
Expected Result:
The continuity check agrees with the preceding Table 1.
Results:
- OK - The continuity check agrees with the preceding Table. Proceed to Test Step 3.
- NOT OK - The continuity check does not agree with the preceding Table. The switch has failed.
Repair: Replace switch. Verify that the new switch corrects the diagnostic code.
STOP
Test Step 3. CHECK THE SIGNAL CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN
- Reconnect the switch to the machine harness.
- The machine harness connectors remain disconnected from the I/O Module.
- At the machine harness connector for the I/O Module, check for continuity between contact 41 (wire F900-WH(White)) and frame ground.
- Press the switch and then release the switch while checking for continuity.
- At the machine harness connector for the I/O Module, check for continuity between contact 40 (wire F901-GY(Grey)) and frame ground.
- Press the switch and then release the switch while checking for continuity.
Expected Result:
The continuity check agrees with the preceding Table 1.
Results:
- OK - The continuity check agrees with the preceding Table.
Repair: If the cause of the problem is not found, contact the Technical Communicator for the Cat Dealer, for possible consultation with Caterpillar. This consultation may greatly reduce repair time. If the I/O Module requires replacement, refer to Testing and Adjusting, KENR8394, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Replace"..
STOP
- NOT OK - The continuity check does not agree with the preceding Table.
Repair: There is an open in the signal circuits of the machine harness. Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness.
