Possible Causes of an FMI 2 are:

Wire is shorted to the ground circuit while the machine is in operation.

Wire is shorted to the +Battery.

An open circuit exists.

The ECM has failed. An ECM failure is unlikely.

Diagnostic Trouble Code Procedure

Note: Prior to beginning this procedure, inspect the harness connectors that are involved in this
circuit. Poor connections can often be the cause of a problem in an electrical circuit. Verify that all
connections in the circuit are clean, secure, and in good condition. If a problem with a connection is
found, correct the problem and verify that the DTC is active before performing a troubleshooting
procedure. For sensors powered via the fuse panel, check the condition of the appropriate fuse
before beginning the troubleshooting procedure.
