FICM shows 0 at key on.

FICM shows 1 on crank

0 is green, 1 is Red. 1 must be fault.

So what exactly does this mean?

not shure about the AE

But my SGII shows 1 for FICM sync means good I would think AE would be the same

Have you checked for fuel in upper fuel bowl??
fuel filters??
ICP looked good to me as well


also check the wiring at the fan shroud for the fan clutch
heres what mine looked like time would have killed it

so, I'm getting P0611 FICM

I originally thought this was because the FICM I'm using is from SWAMPS Diesel and has higher than stock voltage. I see main power as 52V Logic 12v Vehicle 12V. This FICM originally was 58V something happened. Guess I'll wait till Monday to talk to Swamps.

Ideas?

FML.

You might be on to something even though 52v should be enough voltage

what FICM voltage do you get during your cranking

do you hear the injectors buzz when the key is cycled to on

Disconnected batteries to reset PCM. Still no start.

52V constant when cranking. I think something is up with the FICM, all the symptoms. Just hard to believe since it's new. Like I said earlier it's been 107 here, it is mounted on the engine so maybe the heat got to it? Guessing.

Yes, Injectors buzz.

BTW. A shot of ether it tried to start, my thought there is ether doesn't take much to ignite.

Sent an email off to swamps just in the off chance they're like a lot of us and work weekends.

I've heard the AE only reads FICM voltage to 52 but I'm wondering if you reconfigure the gauge range to something like 60 will it read the full voltage.

That being said--IIRC in the AE tutorial if something comes up in RED it's a fault which to me would say that it's not in sync.

There is a FICM fuse and relay under the hood close to the brake booster in a small black box. You might check those also.

I would definitely be calling swamps although I'm not sure anything they do affects a P0611 code, which is a RAM/ROM fault or loss of FICM power.

Do you get any smoke while cranking?

Hey thank you. Both great ideas, headed to do that right now. I forgot about the fuse under the hood. You don't know anyway to check the relay do you?

Well.....if you're getting FICM main power and FICM logic power then all you have left is FICM control power. Or maybe this FICM test will help.

Is the FICM Power Relay the one in the Fuse panel?

Do you have the

Wiring Diagrams Cell 149 Component Testing

That procedure is awesome, may I ask where you get that?

No. The FICM relay is the one next to the 10A fuse in the black box under the hood. Dchamberlain is online now. If you shoot him a PM he possibly has that test.

This is the wiring diagram for the FICM power relay, if it helps.

I believe the power relay is in a relay box that has a relay and a fuse in it. I say I believe because the diagram of Aux Relay Box 5 in my book doesn't look quite like the relay box in my truck. You might check that fuse, too.

Oh, PS. The fuse numbers you might see in any of my diagrams apply to a 2002-2004. They changed before and after that.

Thanks David.

Replacing fuel filters now, just to play it safe. I'm kinda stumped.
