Fault Detection
The FICM circuit fault detection is unique from other Ford circuits The FICM measures current to determine if an injector coil is open or shorted
Open coils produce low current which sets the injector circuit low codes (ie P0261 P0264, P0282)
Shorted coils (side shorts) or short to grounds produce high current which sets the injector circuit high codes (ie P0262, P0265,., P0283).
Diagnostic Trouble Code Retrieval
Technicians must retrieve codes from the PCM as well as the TCM. The power monitor DTCs reside within the TCM (Note: P2252 and P0148) and may
be the only diagnostic tool to lead the technician to the cause of the drivability issue.
The PCM controller and TCM controller are within the same enclosure on the 6.0L. Having two controllers PCM and TCM is relatively new.
When extracting DTC's via the WDS, it is important that you not only retrieve the Engine DTC's but also the Transmission DTC's. This can be
completed in one step by selecting POWERTRAIN ENGINE/TRANSMISSION rather than ENGINE and TRANSMISSION individually.
It is important that transmission codes are retrieved from both automatic and manual transmission applications.
NOTE:This step is unique to the 6.OL Diesel engine vs. the 7.3L Diesel engine.
