854G (1JW, AMP) WHEEL TRACTOR
Problem:
The diagnostic code MID 036 CID 0800 FMI 09 (VIMS main module - Abnormal Update) may be logged in the VIMS event list if all the following conditions are true and occur in this order:
- * The operator moves the key start switch from the OFF position to the START position and waits for the VIMS to complete its self-test.
- * The operator then cranks the engine.
- * The operator then cranks the engine.
- * The operator then cranks the engine.
These conditions may cause the VIMS main module to self-test (reboot) again. While the VIMS main module is self-testing, the engine ECM is unable to communicate with the VIMS main module and may log the MID 036 CID 0800 FMI 09 Diagnostic event. VIMS will then temporarily display the event that is received from the engine ECM and also logs it in the VIMS event list.
Solution:
There is nothing wrong with the electronic control modules. The system voltage should not drop to the 12 to 14 volt range, this could indicate a problem exists with the machine's starting/charging system. The software that controls this event on the machine sees the loss of communication during the low voltage cranking as a problem, and generates the diagnostic event. This problem will be addressed in a future software release.
