This diagnostic code is associated with the Position Sensor (Boom Raise/lower). The FMI 04 means that the ECM has determined that the voltage of the circuit for the sensor is below normal.
The output frequency of the position sensor is approximately 500 hertz. The duty cycle of the signal changes as the position sensor moves.
Boom Raise - 15 percent to 50 percent duty cycle
Boom Lower - 50 percent to 85 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. 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 1125 FMI 04 is active before performing this procedure.
Note: Use the 146-4080 Digital Multimeter for the measurements in this procedure.
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 1125 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- NOT OK - The diagnostic code is no longer active.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 connector(s) from the ECM.
- At the machine harness connector for the ECM, measure the resistance from the signal contact 41 (wire 791-PK) 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 is not correct. There is a short in the machine harness.
Repair: The short is between signal contact 41 (wire 791-PK) 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 1125 FMI 04.
Expected Result:
The CID 1125 FMI 04 is active.
Results:
- YES - The CID 1125 FMI 04 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 Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Replace".
Stop.
- NO - The CID 1125 FMI 04 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.
