I am in need of help with a 2006 Ford F350 6.0 that won’t start. I know we have good fuel supply pressure and all the fuses check ok. I did try the ECM on another truck and it started fine so I know it’s not that. I would think after cranking on the engine for over 15-20 seconds I would get an active code for low oil pressure or IPR code but I have none. It was running fine no issues at all and just died going down the road and has not started since. I have no smoke out the exhaust and the FICM has 48V at all 3 test procedures. The batteries are new and it will fire on spray but will not run on its own. The RPMs read on the dash and I have no codes for the cam sensor. I am thinking the high pressure oil pump or IPR valve may be bad but I have no way of testing them. The Any help or suggestions

Correction I do have smoke durring cranking and we have now changed the cam sensor with no luck. Any one offer any help??

 

Thanks for the test procedure it worked like a charm it was def bad had replaced at dealer runs great now thank you a lot

 

Thanks for keeping that posted.

 

Don't know how I missed this inquiry, but alas, time is the issue for us all, heh?

The hardware portion of the modules is perfectly and completely compatible between the 7 pin and 4 pin versions, yes, though the 4 pin design is considered an upgrade.

There is a software difference that will oftentimes, but not all the time, throw a U0306 software incompatibility code. This code will not prevent the truck from running, though, and any functional spare module will certainly avoid the tow truck driver...

I have resently changed my FICM on my 2004 6.0 powerstroke and now I'm having new problems. The FICM was a preprogrammed reman. The question I have is why is my turbo cycling off and on when it wants to, instantly after changing it is when it started. Sometimes it will over boost and sometimes no boost at all. I did notice the date on the unit said 2006, my truck is a 2004, is that going to matter sense it is a reman/preprogrammed unit? Does the FICM controls the turbo and if so what do I need to do to fix it?

 

if the fcim is bad what codes would it kick as well?

 

I HAVE A 06 F250 WITH 6.0 AND WHEN I SUPPLY POWER TO #15 FUSE UNDER THE HOOD I GET 48 VOLTS AT MY FICM, BUT DON'T GET ANY dtc SIGNAL.AND TRUCK DON'T START.

 

There are many companies that say they repair ficm but not all of them will actually repair them???

 

My 06 f250 don't start i don't have 48 volts from my ficm unless you put power to the number 15 fuse and then it pop's the fuse

 

Many bad FICM's will not throw a code at all. When they do, the most common are the circuit low codes for either some or all of the individual injectors (P0261, P0264, P0267, P0270, P0273, P0276, P0279, and P0282), perhaps combined with contribution codes from the individual injectors (P0263, P0266, P0269, P0272, P0275, P0278, P0281, and P0284). Of course, if things get really bad, it could throw the only 'true' 'your FICM is shot' code, which is the P0611 code.

Less common very typically FICM-related codes are the circuit high codes of P0262, P0265, P0268, P0271, P0274, P0277, P0280, and P0283).

Hope this helps!

This doesn't sound like an FICM issue, but rather an ECM-control issue. We've seen this one other time when a customer sent their FICM in to us and we verified for him that the FICM was not the culprit, but he never found out what the true issue was.

That said, if you wanted us to verify the health of your FICM, ship it on over using the intake form on ficmrepair.com. Regardless, PLEASE post back with what the problem ends up being so that all can benefit!

Have you looked at all the standard other things to make sure that they are a-okay? Things like IPR duty cycle and Injection Control Pressure readings? Have you tried unplugging the ICP sensor to see if that allows it to start?
