Failure Mode Identifiers (FMI)

Failure Mode Identifiers (FMI) are used to communicate what the ECU has detected, not the root cause of
the problem. For example 100-03 "Engine Oil Pressure: Voltage above normal". The system detected that
the signal voltage from this sensor input went above the valid voltage range. The root cause can be an
open circuit, a short to a power source, a failed sensor, etc. In every case, refer to the troubleshooting guide for
the specific product and the ways to determine the root cause.

14 "Special Instruction"

19 "Received Network Data in Error"

FMI 00"Data valid but above normal operational range". If an input is still functioning in the valid range but the
input is sending a signal that is above the acceptable limit of the parameter, an FMI 00 code will be generated.
On Cat Data Link events are normally used for this condition.

FMI 01"Data valid but below normal operational range". An input that is still functioning in the valid range but
sending a signal below the acceptable limit of the parameter will cause the FMI 01 code. On Cat Data Link events
are normally used for this condition.

FMI 02"Data erratic, intermittent, or incorrect". Erratic or intermittent data includes all measurements that
change at a rate that is not considered possible in the real world condition and must be caused by
improper operation of the measuring device or the connection to the module. Signal data from a component
is present, at least intermittently. The signal is either unstable or invalid as recognized by the control
doing diagnostics. Data can be correct sometimes and not at other times. FMI 02 is also used for data that
is invalid, such as an invalid state of a parity switch.

Note: This is different from FMI 10. FMI 02 is used for situations where the rate of change is not physically
possible. FMI 10 is used for situations where the rate of change is physically possible, but outside the
predefined limits of a properly functioning system.

FMI 03"Voltage above normal". FMI 03 occurs when the voltage reading from the identified circuit is above
the valid range. FMI 03 most often relates to a signal circuit.

FMI 04"Voltage below normal". FMI 04 occurs when the voltage reading from the identified circuit is below
the valid range. FMI 04 most often relates to a signal circuit.

FMI 05"Current below normal". FMI 05 occurs when the current through the identified circuit is below the valid
range. FMI 05 most often relates to a driver circuit.

FMI 06"Current above normal". FMI 06 occurs when the current through the identified circuit is above the valid
range. FMI 06 most often relates to a driver circuit.

FMI 07"Mechanical system not responding properly". FMI 07 occurs when an electronic control sends an
electrical command to a mechanical system and the result is not within the acceptable range. An example of
FMI 07 occurs when the ICM transmission (EPTC II) is shifting slowly as a result of a sluggish solenoid valve.

FMI 08"Abnormal frequency, pulse width, or period". FMI 08 occurs when a frequency of the signal or the
pulse width of the signal is not within the range that is expected.

Note: The period is the time in seconds for one cycle at a specific frequency.

FMI 09"Abnormal update rate". FMI 09 pertains to the communication between the electronic controls on the data
link. FMI 09 occurs when an electronic control is not able to receive any information from another
electronic control, when the electronic control expects to receive information.

FMI 10"Abnormal rate of change". FMI 10 relates to a signal that changes too fast or too slow. The rate of
change is outside of the expected limit, but possible in the real world.

FMI 11"Failure mode not identifiable". FMI 11 occurs when the electronic control identifies more than one FMI
as being responsible for a single problem, or when the failure mode does not properly fit into any other FMI.

FMI 12"Bad device or component". FMI 12 occurs when a smart device (such as an ECU) has determined it has
failed.

Note: In the past, FMI 12 had also been used to describe the following conditions:

An electronic control sends a signal to another electronic module over a data link. The electronic control
expects a response but the electronic control receives no response or an incorrect response.

An electronic control expects to receive information on a continuing basis from another electronic module
over a data link, but not all expected information is received.

FMI 13"Out of calibration". FMI 13 occurs when calibration is required. Either the calibration has never
been performed or the system has gone out of calibration.

FMI 14"Special Instruction". FMI 14 is used when a special procedure or more detailed information is required to
understand it.

FMI 19"Received Network Data in Error". FMI 19 is associated with network data that is received. The component
that is used to measure the real world signal is wired directly to the module that is sourcing the data to
the network. The module that is receiving the data via the network is receiving the information with an error
indicator, and not the actual data.
