Schematic of the "Heavy Lift " SolenoidThis diagnostic code is associated with the "Heavy Lift Solenoid". The FMI 03 diagnostic code means that the Machine ECM has determined that the voltage of the solenoid circuit is above normal. The possible causes of the diagnostic code are listed below:
The solenoid has failed.
The energize circuit of the solenoid is shorted to the +battery circuit.
The switch panel has failed. A failure of the ECM is unlikely.Note: The switch panel communicates with the Machine ECM through the CAN data link. Prior to beginning this procedure, observe that the CID 0246 FMI 12 diagnostic code is not active. When CID 0246 FMI 12 is active correct the diagnostic code prior to the start of this procedure.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 CID 0735 FMI 03 is active before performing this procedure.Note: Use the 146-4080 Digital Multimeter for the measurements in this procedure.Test Step 1. CHECK THE ENERGIZE CIRCUIT OF THE SOLENOID FOR A SHORT TO THE +BATTERY CIRCUIT.
Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the OFF position.
Disconnect the machine harness connectors from the solenoid and the switch panel.
At the machine harness connector for the ECM, measure the resistance from contact C2-7 (wire G723-YL) to all contacts that are used in the machine harness connectors for the switch panel. 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 2.
NOT OK - Each resistance measurement is not greater than 5000 ohms. There is a short in the machine harness. The short is between C2-7 (G723-YL) and the circuit that has a low resistance measurement. Repair: Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness.STOPTest Step 2. CHECK IF THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE IS STILL ACTIVE.
Inspect the contacts of the harness connector. Clean the contacts of the harness connectors.
Reconnect all harness connectors.
Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the ON position.
Operate the machine.
Determine if the CID 0735 FMI 03 diagnostic code is active.Expected Result:The CID 0735 FMI 03 diagnostic code is active.Results:
YES - The CID 0735 FMI 03 diagnostic code is active. The problem has not been corrected. The switch panel may have failed.Repair: A failure of the switch panel is unlikely. Exit this procedure and perform this procedure again. If the cause of the diagnostic code is not found, replace the switch panel. See Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Replace".STOP
NO - The CID 0735 FMI 03 diagnostic 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. Resume normal machine operation.STOP
