Gentleman,
im freaking out a little today as I was driving home my wrench light came on. So I plugged in my sct tuner to see what codes and got these. Can some one tell me what's going on. My truck has been running great with no problems. I run my tuner on the performance level. It is an 06 king ranch with 119,000 miles. Stock except for the tuner and straight pipe. Also have the blue spring mod. When I stopped to pick my son up and then restarted the wrench was gone I checked the codes when I got home. Any help would be appreciated.

Get a scan tool and check FICM MPower, LPower and VPower, KOEO and cranking.

Always a good idea to start this type of investigation by fully charging and then load testing each battery individually.

 

Alright, tested the voltage on the ficm and it shows bad. With key on I was 48 v to 47.5. When trying to crank it dropped down to 25 27 volts. According to what I read that's bad. As I was trying to disconnect the ficm I reached under and disconnected the first one closest to me and got it undone but also the second one was undone with out me touching it. So I thought the second connection was not fully connected. So reconnected and press on as hard as I could. Never heard or felt a snap. Retested volts and got the same numbers. After a closers inspection it looks like the center connection is missing a clip on one side. I'm sending my ficm to Ed regardless but how can I replace or fix the connector. It looks like it's in 2 pieces and can be seperated. I really would appreciate some help. Here are few pics.

 

FYI none of the pins are bent or broken. Thanks

 

FICM Parts

Looks like a pain. If it was mine, I would send the FICM in first, tape it up good and try it out before splicing all of those wires

 

"Shimming" the FICM connectors with heater hose:

or use a tie wrap to hold it in.

lots are done that way

 

thats a great idea. Thanks

 

The repair to the plug really isn't that bad. You also do not need to splice anything nor would I ever. To replace the plug takes all of 20 minutes the FIRST time, after that you can knock it out in 10. Order from Riffraff or Eds, both are great to work with, I did two of mine recently.

How. Do u get away with out splicing anything?
can u explain?

 

[QUOTE=Amicus;16988196]
There is nothing to splice? You literally take apart the damaged FICM connector, put in all the wire ends in the new one and put it back together. The first time will take you approximately 20 minutes, after that 5-10 minutes per connector. Look for videos on youtube and you will see how simple it is. Literally couldn't have made a better design from a rebuild point of view.

 

[QUOTE=Tofan;16988789]Thank you

 

Just for reference, this is the video that I used.

 

Ordered the ultra package with the atlas 40 on it. Big bucks for me. Hope it's worth it. Will keep you posted
