Schematic for the Lift Switch
This diagnostic code is associated with the Lift Switch. The FMI 3 means that the ECM has determined that the voltage of the input circuit is above normal for more than 1 minute.The possible causes of the diagnostic code are listed:
The switch has failed.
The harness is shorted to the +battery.
The ECM has failed. This is unlikely.Note: The following test procedure may create other diagnostic codes. Ignore these created diagnostic codes and clear these diagnostic codes when the original diagnostic code has been corrected. Ensure that the diagnostic code of SPN 5010 FMI 3 is active before performing this procedure.Note: Use the 146-4080 Digital Multimeter for the measurements in this procedure.System Response:The machine response is listed:
All Lift and Drop actions will be disabled.Note: Before performing this procedure, verify that all circuit breakers and fuses in the charging circuit and the ECM system supply circuit are closed. If a problem with a circuit breaker or a fuse is found, correct the problem and verify that this diagnostic code is active before performing this procedure.Test Step 1. CHECK THE STATUS OF THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE
Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the OFF position.
Inspect the harness connectors. Clean the contacts of the harness connectors and check the wires for damage to the insulation that is caused by excessive heat, corrosion, or chafing.
Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires that are associated with the circuit.
Use the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) service tool, if available, in order to perform a “Wiggle Test” on the machine wiring harness. The wiggle test can detect intermittent shorts or opens in the machine wiring harness.
Reconnect all harness connectors. Make sure that the connectors are fully seated and the clips for each connector are completely fastened.
Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the ON position.
Operate the machine.
Determine if the SPN 5010 FMI 3 diagnostic code is still active. Expected Result:The SPN 5010 FMI 3 diagnostic code is still active.Results:
YES - The SPN 5010 FMI 3 diagnostic code remains active. Proceed to Test Step 2.
NO - The SPN 5010 FMI 3 code is not active. The problem 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.STOPTest Step 2. CHECK THE HARNESS FOR AN OPEN
Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the OFF position.
Disconnect the joystick from the controller harness.
At the controller harness connector for the joystick, place a jumper from contact B (wire 117-GN(Green)BK(Black)) to contact C (wire 118-BU(Blue)BK(Black)).
Disconnect the J1 connector at the ECM.
Measure the resistance from contact J1-24 (wire N839-GN(Green)) to J1-25 (wire N840-PK(Pink)). Expected Result:The resistance is less than 5 ohms.Results:
OK - The resistance is less than 5 ohms.
