Hello everyone. Need help. I have codes PO261,64,66,67,70,73,76,79,82. When I get a problem it is never good. The truck wants to start but will not. Thanks for any advise. 04 F-250, 6.0ltr. Tony
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. lol. I will check it out today. Tony
Check out the FICM test procedure in the 6.0 tech folder at the beginning of the forum. If you find it needs repaired check out FICM Repair.com - Your Source for FICM Repair. Ed is a great guy who does excellent work for a VERY reasonable price.
The cheapest option is repair of the unit. The FTE Tech Folder has procedures on self repair. Since (IMO) repair should be more than just soldering, I recommend sending it to someone who repairs them. SWAMPS is the most popular, and will be the most expensive. Some folks have used CircuitBoardMedics and like them. I have used FICMrepair.com (5030tinkerer on this forum) and so have a few others. He is cheaper, but the quality of his work is great. IMO he is the best value for repair services. He updates certain components that should be updated - as well as re-flowing solder.
No need to reprogram after the repair, but custom tuned FICMS are a great mod IMO. I have two FICMS with custom programs from PowerHungryPerformance. They are a great company.
The Tech Folder also tells you how to remove the FICM.
You can get out of this for around $250. Get it fixed at a dealership (assuming you are not under warranty still - which is 5 yrs and 100k miles on the FICM) and it might cost over $1000.
Was only getting 23 volts at the right screw instead of 48 volts. Removed it and took it over to a electronic shop that repairs them. Will know the outcome tomorrow afternoon. Think I will take my goldwing out for a ride now . Thanks everyone. Tony
