Schematic of the start relayThis diagnostic code is associated with the start relay. The FMI 03 means that the ECM has determined that the voltage of the relay circuit is above normal. The possible causes of the diagnostic code are listed:
The relay has failed.
The energize circuit of the relay is shorted to the +battery circuit.
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 CID 444 FMI 03 is active before performing this procedure.Note: Use the 146-4080 Digital Multimeter for the measurements in this procedure.System Response:When this diagnostic code is active, the ECM will turn off the current to the relay. The relay may still be energized due to a problem with the wiring. Test Step 1. CHECK THE RELAY.
Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the ON position. Do not start the engine.
Disconnect the relay with the active diagnostic code from the machine harness.
At the machine harness connector for the relay, place a jumper wire from contact 1 (wire 306-GN) to contact 2 (wire 975-WH).
Observe the status of the CID 444 FMI 03.Expected Result:The CID 444 FMI 03 remains active.Results:
YES - The diagnostic code remains active. The jumper wire does not affect the diagnostic code. Proceed to Test Step 2.
NO - The diagnostic is no longer active. The relay has failed.Repair: The relay has failed. Repeat this Test Step "CHECK THE RELAY" in order to verify the failure of the relay. Replace the relay. Verify that the new relay corrects the problem.STOPTest Step 2. CHECK THE ENERGIZE CIRCUIT OF THE RELAY 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 relay and the ECM.
At the machine harness connector for the ECM, measure the resistance from contact J1-8 (wire 306-GN) to all contacts that are used in 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 - Each resistance measurement is not greater than 5000 ohms. There is a short in the machine harness. The short is between J1-8 (306-GN) and the circuit that has a low resistance measurement. Repair: Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness.STOPTest Step 3. CHECK IF THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE IS STILL ACTIVE.
Inspect the contacts and 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 444 FMI 03 is active.Expected Result:The CID 444 FMI 03 is active.Results:
YES - The CID 444 FMI 03 is active. The problem has not been corrected. The ECM may have failed.Repair: It is unlikely that the ECM has failed. Exit
