FMI
DESCRIPTION
EXPLANATION
05
Current Below Normal
Current through component or system is lower than limit. FMI 05 is most often related
or Open Circuit.
to a driver circuit. Some possible causes of an FMI 05 diagnostic code are:
There is an open circuit or a poor wiring harness connection.
There is an open relay.
There is a switch in OPEN position.
06
Current Above Normal
Current through component or system is higher than limit. FMI 06 is most often related
or Grounded Circuit.
to a driver circuit. This fault is very similar to FMI 04. Some possible causes of an FMI
06 diagnostic code are:
There is a short to ground in wiring harness connection.
There is a shorted relay.
A faulty control will also cause an FMI 06, although this is very unlikely.
07
Mechanical System Not
Control detects a signal sent to a mechanical system and response is not correct. Some
Responding Properly.
possible causes of an FMI 07 diagnostic code are:
Component responds improperly.
Component is stuck in a position.
Component has failed.
Engine is shut down.
Machine is being used improperly.
08
Abnormal Frequency,
This code occurs when signal is not in expected range. FMI 08 can also relate to a faulty
Pulse Width, or Period.
sensor. Some possible causes of an FMI 08 diagnostic code are:
Wiring harness connections are intermittent or poor.
Engine misfired.
Signal is noisy due to nearby interference.
There are loose mechanical devices.
09
Abnormal Update.
This relates to communications on data link. FMI 09 occurs when a control is not able
to get information from another control. Some possible causes of an FMI 09 diagnostic
code are:
Control module is not communicating on data link correctly.
Rate of data transmission is abnormal.
Data link has failed.
There is a mismatch of software.
10
Abnormal Rate of
This relates to a signal that changes too quickly. Rate of change is outside of expected

limit.
11
Failure Mode Not
Control identifies more than one FMI as being responsible for a single failure. Some
Identifiable.
possible causes of an FMI 11 diagnostic code are:
There is a mechanical failure.
There is damage to multiple circuits.
