Guys I need some of your expertise. I have a stock (muffler delete only) 2004 F250 6.0 w/ 128K miles that intermittently runs rough, lacks power and hard start. I'm in central Texas and the outside temps are 77- 103 degrees F. I'm not an expert mechanic, but I'm smart enough I can usually figure things out. So today I used my Bully Dog programmer and pulled a P6011 code. In the tech folder I found the FICM Voltage check.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
I tested my 4 screw FICM and it registered: <o></o>
47.6 vdc with the key on (Greater than 45 VDC)<o></o>
43.8 - 44.4 vdc w/ engine running<o></o>
I'm concerned because it tests good and I'm still getting the P6011. Should I re-flow the solder and clean the connectors with those readings or is my FICM toast? <o></o>
I searched the forum and have not really found a post where a P6011 that had good voltage readings.<o></o>
Any help would be appreciated.<o></o>
Thanks, Stan<o></o>

 

43.8 is to low really. Anything under 45 is considered bad when running...

I just did mine today. Had around 30v idling. I now have 49...

 

P0611 also indicates a FICM memory fault. That coupled with the voltage issue and I would consider it toast.

 

thats great did you solder it yourself or send it in

and to the original poster unless you hate your tourque shift transmission get rid of the bulley dog programmer Iv seen a handful of bulley dogs take out the tranny just so you are aware of it

and welcome to FTE

 

I did the solder myself. I didn't have anything obvious looking, but reflowed it all and it worked great!

 

I would really like to thank everyone for thier input on my P0611 issue.
I left work early today, bought some flux did the FICM repair w/ my 35V Weller.

48.0 VDC w/ key on
47.8 VDC w/ engine idle

I took the truck for a good 30 min drive and returned with no codes. The information provided by the users on this forum is priceless. Thanks again for all your help.

Blade - Thanks for the heads up on the BD programmer (more great info).

 

glad you got it fixed

I know it sucks my buddy blew his with a BD programmer
and I notice that when a tranny problem comes up probably half if not more the people were using a bulley dog programmer

most on here use a SCT programmer seams to agree with the tranny

maybe you can sell it that what my friend did

 

Bully Dog or Edge. Both kill the trans...

Hand Shaker=No issue there!!!
