Set your DVOM to Hz. On the CKP circuit, you should be seeing 150 to 200 Hz when the engine is cranked over (directly proportional to 150 to 200 RPMs).
On the CMP circuit you should get a reading of 1.1 to 1.9 Hz when the engine is cranked over. Hopefully you won't have to go this far before you resolve your issue.

The spec is between 300 to 400O for the CKP sensor, and 800 to 1100O for the CMP sensor. If you want to check readings, set your DVOM to read Hz.
The CKP reading you should be getting from the CKP sensor, is between 150 to 200Hz, directly proportional to engine cranking RPM when the engine is cranked over.
The CMP reading should be between 1.1 to 1.9Hz when the engine is cranked over.

I had the CMP target (apprx 1.3 kHz), but didn't have the CKP.
In post # 3 he said he couldn't get a CMP frequency reading, but I don't think the test was done correctly.
I thought I found the smoking gun when I load tested the CKP harness and found it to be weak. I replace the wiring with some shielded cable I had on hand but it looks like the weakness was in my test harness. After verifying and load testing the new harness to be good there was no change in my engine sync problem.
Got rid of all the codes though.
Sure appreciate all your thoughts Mark. Thanks.
So both cmp and ckp pass pinpoint test but torq pro shows no sync or fpw

And yes I did alot of troubleshooting after getting the FICM back from FICM Repair. I load tested the 12V Ignition to FICM wire (1044 WH/YE) and measured 12V at the FICM connector. Also verified 12V at hot side of FICM relay coil and the Main power contact.
My understanding of how the circuit works (after talking to Ed at FICM repair) is that the FICM relay will not energize if you don't have engine synch. So I have power to the FICM but no engine synch signal so the the coil of the relay won't energize. So FICM logic power and FICM main power will be zero if the relay won't energize. Am I missing something? I wish there was a ladder diagram showing the logic to help make more sense of it!
Also I'm not getting FICM sync which I believe happens when engine sync and ignition power are good. With FICM sync the relay won't be energized.
I've checked continuity on all the wiring between the PCM and FICM and the CAN Bus shield for shorts in the harness.
I'll plan to go through it all again after I try the new sensors tomorrow. Fun Fun Fun!
You absolutely WILL have FICM LPower and VPower (and MPower for that matter) w/ ONLY the key on.
It takes cranking to get cam/crank sync, so they don't enter into it w/ only KOEO.
As I mentioned earlier, the above statement surprised me as the diagram in the FICM guide does not indicate that ... I have just been way too busy to check until now. Also verified it in my truck.
IF you are getting no FICM VPower or LPower w/ the key on, then you need to focus there.
I'll keep trying! Today anyway....
Thanks again.
Here's the wiring diagram I've been using and this page is basically a little more detailed version of figure 1 from the FICM guide. Note the switch circled in red that appears to be embedded in the FICM. When that switch closes it will complete the circuit to energize the FICM Relay. Without a ladder logic diagram or a program print it's difficult to say what conditions are necessary to close the switch. That's we're my theory was coming from.
I appear to have CMP sensor issue. I replaced the wiring and have a new motorcraft sensor but I can't get a frequency measurement that's consistent or in line with values you guys provided. Most of the time during cranking the frequency was 0 but would momentarily jump to around 3ish Hz(5 to 8 second crank) Same measurement technique done on CKP sensor yielded perfect result with frequency mimicking rpm. Results were same for original and replacement PCM.
Not sure what to try next . If we assume it is CMPsensor circuit issue, I've replaced all the hardware already. Should I take it somewhere to get the PCM "flashed" (can this be done without towing the truck in?) Do I invest in better diagnostic and code reader options. I'm limited to the Torque Pro app which is pretty decent for the price point (free!) Autoenginuity or something?
The frequency we are measuring across CMP switch is that of the voltage produced by the sensor? I'll try to find more about these online. Maybe there is an INDUSTRIAL equivalent with
with some good application literature.
thanks again.
And yes - both the cam and crank generate their own signal and that is what the testing is meant to measure.
