Schematic of the solenoid connections
Note: The diagram above is a simplified schematic of the connections for the solenoid connections. The schematic is electrically correct. However, not all of the possible harness connectors are shown. Refer to the latest revision of the electrical schematic for the specific machine being serviced for the complete schematic.Diagnostic Trouble Code Procedure
Note: Prior to beginning this procedure, inspect the harness connectors that are involved in this 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. Check the wiring for pinch points or abrasions. Look for and repair areas that indicate wires are exposed. If a problem with a connection is found, correct the problem and verify that this diagnostic code is active before performing a troubleshooting procedure.

Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Identify Active FMI Code Associated With Solenoid Circuit
Code present. FMI 3 diagnostic code, proceed to Test Step 2.
FMI 5 diagnostic code, proceed to Test Step 3.
FMI 6 diagnostic code, proceed to Test Step 5.
FMI 7 diagnostic code, refer to Troubleshooting, "Parking Brake System" within this manual.
FMI 13 diagnostic code, proceed to Test Step 7.

2. Check The Machine Harness For A Short
A. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch OFF.
B. Disconnect the harness connection at solenoid.
C. Disconnect J1 and J2 connectors from ECM.
D. Measure the resistance of solenoid signal contact to all J1 and J2 contacts.
Each reading is greater than 5K Ω. OK - All resistance readings are greater than 5K Ω .
Proceed to Test Step 8.
NOT OK - One or more readings are less than 5 Ω.
Repair: A short exists between the signal contact and the circuit with the low resistance. Repair or replace the machine harness.
Note: A resistance that is greater than 5 Ω but less than 5K Ω would indicate a loose connection or a corroded connection in the circuit. A resistance measurement that is greater than 5K Ω would indicate an open in the circuit.
Proceed to Test Step 8.

3. Check The Solenoid
A. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch OFF.
B. Disconnect the solenoid from the machine harness.
C. Place a jumper wire between contact 1 and contact 2, at the harness connector for the solenoid.
D. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch ON. Do not start the engine.
The code changes to FMI 6 after the jumper wire is installed. OK - The circuit is correct., the solenoid has failed.
Repair: Replace the solenoid.
Proceed to Test Step 8.
NOT OK - The diagnostic code remains active.
Proceed to Test Step 4.
4. Check The Machine Harness For An Open.
A. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch OFF.
B. Disconnect the harness connectors from the ECM (or switch panel).
C. The jumper wire remains installed.
D. At the machine harness connector for the ECM, measure the resistance at the ECM contacts for the solenoid.
Each reading is less than
