Acronyms

Okay could someone post what the more popular acronyms stand for so some of us could follow along with the posts. Sorry to be such a green horn.

Nope...ain't that much room! LMAO!

It's really pretty easy once you start reading and moving around in the forums. Remember to go hang out in the Super Duty forums too. Since I too have an 03 King Ranch Crew with the 6.0, I'm normally in one or the other unless I'm really looking for something specific.

As for the acronyms, your best bet is to ask about the one's you need help with...seriously, you could be here all day just reading acronyms.

The 6.0 tech folder is a great place to start (particularly the 6.0 Bible link): https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/3...ch-folder.html

There is a list of them somewhere...I'm sure someone will post a link to it.

C. None of the above (at key on, an appropriate meter should read not less than 45 VDC - Volts Direct Current - on the appropriate pin of the FICM, be extremely careful not to touch the FICM case with the meter lead while it is touching the appropriate FICM lead )

(How about that cheezit? :-) )

FICM = Fuel Injector Control Module

Do I get a prize?

Interesting that after reading about them so much FICM is a name, not an acronym.

NO. your awnser is wrong.
A FICM can not read at all. its logic circuit was not programed to do so.
