Schematic of "Differential (Axle) Oil Temperature Sensor"
This diagnostic code is associated with the "Differential (Axle) Oil Temperature Sensor". The FMI 04 means that the ECM has determined that the voltage of the circuit for the position sensor is below normal.The temperature sensor is a PWM sensor with an operating duty cycle from 10% to 90%. The sensor has an operating temperature range from −40 °C (−40 °F) to 120 °C (248 °F). Refer to Systems Operation, "Sensors" for more information.The possible causes of this diagnostic code are listed below:
The signal circuit for the sensor is shorted to ground.
The sensor has failed.
The ECM has failed. A failure of the ECM is unlikely. Note: The following test procedure may create other diagnostic codes. Ignore these created diagnostic codes and clear the diagnostic codes when the original diagnostic code has been corrected. Ensure that the diagnostic code of CID 0835 FMI 04 is active before performing this procedure. Note: Use the 146-4080 Digital Multimeter for the measurements in this procedure.System Response:The diagnostic code will be logged in to memory and the fan for the differential is disabled.Test Step 1. CHECK THE SENSOR
Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the ON position.
Ensure that the diagnostic code is active.
Observe the status of the diagnostic code. Disconnect the sensor from the machine harness.Expected Result:The CID 0835 FMI 04 remains active. The FMI has not changed and the 04 code is still active.Results:
OK - The diagnostic code remains active. The sensor is correct. Proceed to Test Step 2.
NOT OK - The diagnostic code is no longer active. The sensor has failed.Repair: Replace the sensor.STOPTest Step 2. CHECK THE WIRING HARNESS OF THE SENSOR FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the OFF position.
Disconnect the machine harness from the sensor.
Disconnect the machine harness connectors from the ECM.
At the machine harness connector for the ECM, measure the resistance from signal contact J2-10 (wire C429-GY(Grey)) to all possible sources of ground. Measure the resistance to all contacts of the machine harness connectors for the ECM.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 3.
NOT OK - One or more resistance measurements are not correct. There is a short in the machine harness.Repair: The short is between signal contact J2-10 (wire C429-GY(Grey)) and the circuit with the low-resistance measurement. Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness.STOPTest Step 3. CHECK IF THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE REMAINS.
Inspect the contacts of the harness connectors and clean the contacts.
Reconnect all harness connectors.
Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the ON position.
Operate the machine.
Check the status of the CID 0835 FMI 04.Expected Result:The CID 0835 FMI 04 is active.Results:
YES - The CID 0835 FMI 04 is active. The diagnostic code has not been corrected. The ECM may have failed.Repair: A failure of the ECM is unlikely. Exit this procedure and
