Schematic of the Position Sensor (Left Brake Pedal)

This diagnostic code is associated with the Position Sensor (Left Brake Pedal). The FMI 01 means
that the ECM has determined that the signal of the sensor is below the normal range.

The position sensor is a PWM sensor. The sensor operates at a frequency of 5000 Hertz. The duty
cycle is proportional to the position of the pedal. The duty cycle will operate from a range of
approximately 10% to 90%.

The possible causes of this failure are listed below:

• The position sensor has failed.

• The signal circuit of the sensor is shorted to the ground.

• The ECM has failed. This is unlikely.

Note: The following test procedure may create other diagnostic codes. Ignore these created diagnostic
codes and clear the diagnostic codes when the original diagnostic code has been corrected.

Note: Use the 146-4080 Digital Multimeter for the measurements in this procedure.

Test Step 1. INSPECT THE SENSOR.

A. Perform a visual inspection of the sensor, the wiring for the sensor and the hardware that is
associated with the sensor.

Expected Result:

There is no apparent damage to the sensor, the wiring for the sensor or the hardware that is associated
with the sensor.

Results:

• OK - There is no apparent damage to the sensor, the wiring for the sensor or the hardware that
is associated with the sensor. Proceed to Test Step 2.

• NOT OK - There is apparent damage to the sensor, the wiring for the sensor or the hardware
that is associated with the sensor.

Repair: Replace the damaged part.

Proceed to Test Step 8.

Test Step 2. CHECK FOR POWER AT THE SENSOR.

A. Do not disconnect the harness connector from the sensor.

B. At the back of the harness connector for the sensor, insert a 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe along
the voltage supply wire (contact A).

C. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the ON position.

D. Measure the voltage from contact A to frame ground.

Expected Result:

The voltage measurement is approximately battery voltage.

Results:

• NOT OK - The voltage is not approximately battery voltage. The circuit is open.

Repair: Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness.

Stop.

Test Step 3. CHECK FOR PROPER GROUND AT THE SENSOR.

A. The machine harness remains connected to the sensor.

B. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the OFF position.

C. Remove the 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe from the voltage supply wire (contact A).

D. At the back of the harness connector for the sensor, insert a 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe along
the ground wire (contact B).

E. Measure the resistance from contact B to frame ground.

Expected Result:

The resistance is less than 5 ohms.

Results:

• OK - The resistance is less than 5 ohms. The ground circuit is correct. Proceed to Test Step 4.

• NOT OK - The resistance is greater than 5 ohms. The ground circuit in the machine harness
has failed.

Repair: Replace the machine harness or repair the machine harness.

Stop.

Test Step 4. CHECK THE SIGNAL OF THE SENSOR.

A. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the OFF position.

B. At the back of the harness connector for the sensor, remove the 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe
from contact B and insert the probe along the signal wire (contact C).

C. At the back of the harness connector for the sensor, insert the 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe along
the ground wire (contact B).

D. Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the ON position.

E. Monitor the signal of the sensor with the 146-4080 Digital Multimeter .

F. Without disconnecting the sensor or the hardware that is associated with the sensor from the
machine, take the sensor through the full operating range of the sensor.

Note: On some machines, it may be necessary to start the engine in order to take the sensor
through the full operating range of the sensor.

Expected Result:

The sensor's signal responds in the manner that is described at the beginning of this procedure. The
CID 1327 FMI 01 is not active at the maximum range of the sensor.

Results:

• OK - The sensor's signal responds correctly. The sensor is operating correctly. Proceed to Test
Step 5.

• NOT OK - The sensor's signal does not respond correctly. The sensor is NOT operating
correctly.

Repair: Replace the sensor.

Stop.

Test Step 5. CHECK THE SIGNAL AT THE ECM.

A. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the OFF position.

B. Insert the 7X-1710 Multimeter Probes into the back of the ECM connector along J1-16 (wire
962-OR) and J2-4 (wire G746-WH).

C. Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the ON position.

D. Monitor the signal of the sensor with the 146-4080 Digital Multimeter .

E. Without disconnecting the sensor or the hardware that is associated with the sensor from the
machine, take the sensor through the full operating range of the sensor.

Note: On some machines, it may be necessary to start the engine in order to take the sensor
through the full operating range of the sensor.

Expected Result:

The sensor's signal responds in the manner that is described at the beginning of this procedure. The
CID 1327 FMI 01 is not active at the maximum range of the sensor.

Results:

• OK - The sensor's signal responds correctly. The sensor is operating correctly. Proceed to Test
Step 6.

• NOT OK - The sensor's signal does not respond correctly. The harness has failed.

Repair: Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness.

Stop.

Test Step 6. CHECK THE SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT IN THE HARNESS.

A. The key start switch and the disconnect switch remain in the OFF position.

B. Disconnect the machine harness connectors from the sensor and the ECM.

C. Measure the resistance between contact J2-4 (wire G746-WH) and all contacts that are used in
the machine harness connectors for the ECM.

Expected Result:

Each resistance measurement is greater than 5000 ohms.

Results:

• OK - Each of the resistance measurements are greater than 5000 ohms. The circuit is correct.
Proceed to Test Step 7.

• NOT OK - The resistance is less than 5 ohms. The signal circuit is shorted to another circuit in
the harness.

Results:

• OK - The CID 1327 FMI 01 is not active at the minimum range of the sensor. The diagnostic
code does not exist at this time. The initial diagnostic code was probably caused by a poor
connection or a short at one of the connectors that was disconnected and reconnected. Resume
normal operation. Stop.

• NOT OK - The CID 1327 FMI 01 is active at the minimum range of the sensor. The diagnostic
code has not been corrected. The ECM may have failed.

Repair: It is unlikely that the ECM has failed. Exit this procedure. Perform the adjustment
procedure for the sensor, if necessary. Then perform the calibration procedure for the sensor.
Perform this procedure again. If the cause of the failure is not found, replace the ECM. See the
Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Replace".

Stop.

Test Step 8. CHECK THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE SENSOR.

A. Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the ON position.

B. Perform the adjustment procedure for the position sensor, if necessary.

C. Without disconnecting the sensor or the hardware that is associated with the sensor, move the
sensor through the entire range of motion.

Note: On some machines, it may be necessary to start the engine in order to move the sensor
through the entire range of motion.

D. Check the status of the diagnostic code.

Expected Result:

The CID 1327 FMI 01 is not active.

Results:

• OK - The diagnostic is not active. The adjustment has corrected the failure. Resume normal
operation. Stop.

• NOT OK - CID 1327 FMI 01 is still active.

Repair: Exit this procedure. Perform this procedure again.

Stop.
