These procedures are only for the diagnostic codes that originate from the machine ECM. The diagnostic
codes can be viewed by using any of the following systems: Monitoring System and the Caterpillar Electronic
Technician (ET) See one of the following references:

Systems Operation, RENR8068, "Monitoring System"

Troubleshooting, "Using Caterpillar Electronic Technician to Determine Diagnostic Codes"

The following procedures may cause new diagnostic codes to be logged. Therefore, before any procedures are
performed, make a list of all the active diagnostic codes in order to determine the system problems. Clear the
diagnostic codes that were caused by the procedure, when each procedure is complete.

Note: Before you perform a procedure, always check all the circuit breakers. Repair the cause of any circuit
breaker that is tripped.

Module Identifier (MID)


System events from other electronic control modules are shown on the monitoring system. Other electronic
control modules transfer this diagnostic information on the Cat Data Link to the Monitoring System.

The module identifier (MID) identifies the electronic control module that detected the diagnostic code. Each
electronic control module on the machine has a unique MID. Use the following chart in order to match the
MID for each diagnostic code to a specific electronic control module. The chart for the Module Identifier
(MID) is located on the Electrical System Schematic for your machine. See the chart if the MID is not shown
on the display of your machine. After the operator determines the ECM that has detected the diagnostic code,
see the troubleshooting manual for the particular ECM.

If the MID is for the machine ECM, use this service manual module. The MID for the machine ECM is 039.
If the MID is different use the appropriate module.

Detailed FMI Explanation

FMI 00 Data Valid But Above Normal Operating Range - Every electronic control system sets a high limit
for the expected operating range of the signal. The high limit includes over range signals. A sensor that is still
operating but sending a signal above the expected limit will cause an FMI 00 to be stored.

Some of the possible causes of an FMI 00 diagnostic code are listed:

3 of 12 2/24/2018, 9:43 AM
Advanced Full Text Search - RENR9848 - 320D, 321D, 323D, 324D, 32... https://sis.cat.com/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?return...

The signal is above normal.

The signal is shorted to the +battery.

The sensor is in need of calibration.

A PWM signal that is at a duty cycle of 80 percent is a valid signal. If the PWM signal has a duty cycle of 81
percent, the sensor is still working. But the sensor signal is above the expected signal limits.

FMI 01 Data Valid But Below Normal Operating Range - Every electronic control system sets a low limit
for the expected operating range of the signal. The limit includes signals that are under the lower limit. The
low signal could be the oil pressure signal. The sensor is still working but sending a signal below the expected
limit will cause an FMI 01 to be stored.

Some of the possible causes of an FMI 01 diagnostic code are listed:

The signal is below the normal range.

The timing is retarded.

This sensor is not expected to generate a PWM signal below a duty cycle of 5 percent with zero air pressure.
If the sensor generates a signal with a duty cycle of 4 percent when the engine is shut down, the sensor is still
working. Sending a signal below the expected limit will cause an FMI 01 to be stored.

FMI 02 Data Erratic, Intermittent, or Incorrect - The signal from a component is present. The control that
reads the diagnostic information cannot read the signal properly. The signal appears to be gone, unstable, or
invalid. The data can be correct or incorrect intermittently. Also, this condition relates to communication
between controls. This condition is an example of communication between controls. When the monitoring
system is looking for the engine speed from the engine ECM over the Cat Data Link.

There is a faulty connection.

The signal is intermittent or erratic.

The software has been changed.

The signal is noisy.

The signal is out of range.

FMI 03 Voltage Above Normal or Shorted High - The component or system voltage is higher than the
limit. FMI 03 most often relates to a signal circuit.

Some of the components that could cause an FMI 03 diagnostic code are listed:

The sensor or the switch is faulty.

The harness is damaged.

The electronic control has failed.

Some of the possible causes of an FMI03 diagnostic code are listed:

4 of 12 2/24/2018, 9:43 AM
Advanced Full Text Search - RENR9848 - 320D, 321D, 323D, 324D, 32... https://sis.cat.com/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?return...

A sensor that has failed and the voltage output is high.

Any wiring harness that has a sensor signal wire shorted to a high voltage. A high voltage is any voltage
that is greater than the sensor supply voltage.

A wiring harness that has an open circuit in the sensor signal wire will cause the control to pull up.
When this event occurs, the input circuit is pulled up to the supply voltage.

A faulty control will also cause an FMI 03.

FMI 04 Voltage Below Normal or Shorted Low - The component or system voltage is lower than the limit.
FMI 04 most often relates to a signal circuit.

Some of the components that could cause an FMI 03 diagnostic code are listed:

The sensor or the switch is faulty.

The harness is damaged.

The electronic control has failed.

Some of the possible causes of an FMI 04 diagnostic code are listed:

A sensor that has failed and the voltage output is low.

Any wiring harness that has a sensor signal wire shorted to ground.

A faulty control will also cause an FMI 04.

FMI 05 Current Below Normal or Open Circuit - The current through the component or the system is
lower than the limit. FMI 05 is most often related to a driver circuit.

Some of the possible causes of an FMI 05 diagnostic code are listed:

There is an open circuit or a poor harness connection.

There is an open relay.

There is a switch in the open position.

FMI 06 Current Above Normal or Grounded Circuit - The current through the component or the system is
higher than the limit. FMI 06 is most often related to a driver circuit. This fault is like an FMI 04 diagnostic
code.

Some of the possible causes of an FMI 06 diagnostic code are listed:

There is a short to ground in the harness connection.

There is a shorted relay.

A faulty control will also cause an FMI 06 diagnostic code.

FMI 07 Mechanical System Not Responding Properly - The control detects a signal that is sent to a
mechanical system and the response is not correct.

Some of the possible causes of an FMI 07 diagnostic code are listed:

The component responds improperly.

The component is stuck in a position.

The component has failed.

The engine is shut down.

The machine is being used improperly.

FMI 08 Abnormal Frequency, Pulse Width, or Period - This event occurs when the signal is not in the
expected range. FMI 08 can also relate to a faulty sensor.

Some of the possible causes of an FMI 08 diagnostic code are listed:

The harness connections are intermittent or poor.

The engine misfired.

The signal is noisy due to nearby interference.

There are loose mechanical devices.

FMI 09 Abnormal Update - This event relates to communications on the Cat Data Link. FMI 09 occurs
when a control is not able to get information from another control.

Some of the possible causes of an FMI 09 diagnostic code are listed:

The control module is not communicating on the Cat Data Link correctly.

The rate of data transmission is abnormal.

The Cat Data Link has failed.

There is a mismatch of software.

FMI 10 Abnormal Rate of Change - This event relates to a signal that changes too fast. The rate of change
is outside of the expected limit.

FMI 11 Failure Mode Not Identifiable - The control identifies more than one FMI as being responsible for a
single failure.

Some of the possible causes of an FMI 11 diagnostic code are listed:

There is a mechanical failure.

There is damage to multiple circuits.
