Ficm problems

I have a 2006 f250 with the 6.0 and it has 330xxx miles. We had a blizzard the other day and now I’m having ficm problems. I have no sync, no logic, and no main when it’s parked outside in zero degree temp but block heater plugged in. I brought it in the heated shop and let it sit for a day. it fired right up, drive it home and then parked it for the night. Came back the next morning and no volts again. Is my ficm fried?

Can you measure and post the battery voltage after sitting outside overnight at 0?
Did it crank well at that point?

Welcome Aboard Wyatt,
Sure sounds like you have a problem with it and its very hard on fuel injectors when voltage is any below 48 or so.

Weird truck I used to get it going earlier: I set a hair dryer out blasting on the ficm for about 20 minutes and it fired right up!
