6.0L Powerstroke

Remanufactured "FICM"

- Fuel Injection Control Module -

1 YEAR WARRANTY

The FICM is a common "pattern failure" part on the 6.0L Powerstroke Diesel. Common concerns when failure occurs are no starts, hard starts, and rough engine operation when cold. These symptoms are often accompanied by codes P0611, P1378 and possibly all (8) injector low circuit codes (P0261, P0264, P0267, P0270, P0273, P0276, P0279 & P0282).

Our FICM's are professionally remanufactured - they completely disassembled, and upgraded components are installed - giving you a "better than new" product in terms of reliability. Each FICM is thoroughly tested on a proprietary vehicle simulator to ensure that it will function correctly before shipment. Give your customers peace of mind with a professional grade part from a leading remanufacturer - not another "kitchen table" re-soldered FICM.

Our FICM's come pre-programmed - you can plug them in and drive away!

If you buy an FICM from the Ford dealer it comes with no software and will not start your vehicle until you have the vehicle towed to the dealer for programming. Ford has updated FICM programming several times over the years to correct various driveability issues affecting the 6.0L engine - our FICM's come with the latest updated software - specific to your exact vehicle so that there will be no driveability issues or codes caused by incorrect programming.

Please check the following chart to determine the correct FICM for your vehicle:

The FICM in this listing is for a Part Number "124" - if you need a different part number, please see the 6.0L section of our Ebay Store

FICM Diagnosis

The primary purpose of the FICM is to generate the 48 volt signal to operate the engine's fuel injectors. As the FICM starts to fail, this output voltage begins to drop. Before condemning the FICM, it is critical to ensure that it has sufficient supply voltage from the vehicle - low voltage in equals low voltage out! Begin by ensuring that the vehicle's batteries are in good condition and fully charged and that all connections to the batteries are clean and tight. The following information is a summary of the steps necessary for FICM diagnosis - for complete procedures including safety precautions please consult your vehicle's service manual.

Testing Method 1 - If scan tool is available (Best method):

1. For this test to be most valid the engine should be cold (Engine oil temp less than 68 degrees F)
2. Disconnect the small wire from the right side battery's positive terminal. This will prevent glow plug operation during the test process for more accurate testing. This will cause codes to set that should be cleared after testing.
3. Find the B parameter on your scan tool's data list - if it is not at least 11.5 volts then you have a battery or connection issue that must be corrected before proceeding.
4. Find the FICM_LPWR parameter on your scan tool. If it is under 11.5 volts then there is a problem in the vehicle preventing sufficient power from reaching the FICM - this must be repaired before proceeding
5. Locate the FICM_MPWR parameter on your scan tool. Cycle the ignition off and immediately back on. During the time that the glow plug light on the dash remains on the FICM_MPWR reading must not fall under 45 volts - if it does, the FICM may require replacement.

Testing method 2 - If a scan tool is NOT available

1. For this test to be most valid the engine should be cold (Engine oil temp less than 68 degrees F)
2. Disconnect the small wire from the right side battery's positive terminal. This will prevent glow plug operation during the test process for more accurate testing. This will cause codes to set that should be cleared after testing.
3. Verify that your batteries are in good condition (should measure minimum 12.5Volts at rest) and that ALL battery connections are perfectly clean and tight.
4. WARNING: In the following procedure do NOT touch anything under the cover of the FICM - the voltage is hazardous. Access the FICM and remove the cover on the top side that is retained by two T-20 Torx head screws.
5. Connect your voltmeter between battery ground and the appropriate screw under the cover of the FICM - see pictures below. DO NOT allow your voltmeter lead to short the screw to the case or you will need a new FICM! Some FICM's use a four screw design and some a seven screw design. Select the appropriate picture below.
6. While staying clear of all engine components have a helper turn the key to the ignition on position. While the glow plug indicator on the dash remains on the measured voltage should remain above 45 volts - if not the FICM may require replacement.

Prior to FICM replacement:

Many apparent FICM problems are actually caused by harness issues . Chaffed through harnesses often cause very frustrating intermittent problems. It is critical to inspect the harness in the following areas to prevent repeat concerns or unnecessary module replacement.

FICM Replacement procedure

This is a very easy procedure requiring only basic mechanical skills. Be sure to follow all safety precautions including always wearing safety glasses.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
- Core Policy -

This remanufactured item carries a core charge of $150. The core charge is in addition to the listing price. This core charge must be added to your payment before your item can ship.

FAQ's:
What is a core charge?
A core charge is a refundable charge that makes the auto-part rebuilding industry possible. Without core charges, there would be no rebuilt parts available, leaving customers to pay the exorbitant cost of new parts, which would be even higher without the competition of rebuilt / remanufactured parts.

How can I pay the core charge?
1. Send money using paypal - just type or copy " Paypal.me/Accuratediesel/150 " into your browser and then click "NEXT" to pay 
2. Pay with a credit card - go the the AccurateDiesel.com website, and type "Ebay" into the search box.  Select the "Ebay core charge" product. Select the correct core charge amount and proceed with checkout.
3. If you are unable to pay the core charge using one of the above methods, we will e-mail a paypal invoice within 12 business hours of your order.
4. You can also call us to pay the core charges using a credit card. (Click the "Contact Seller" link near our user ID in the upper right hand corner of this page for our customer service phone number.
5. If you prefer to avoid the core charge, you may send your core in to us, before we ship your remanufactured part. Please contact us to make arrangements if selecting this option.

When will my core charge be refunded?
We try to refund core charges within 24 hours of receipt (business days). It may take a few extra days for your credit card company to apply the credit to your account. PLEASE be sure to pack you cores carefully so they are not damaged in return shipment. It is also important to insure your cores in case of damage or loss, and to retain the tracking number.

What are the core criteria?
Cores must be in a condition representative of normal use. Cores that would NOT be acceptable are those that were in a fire, have been left outside in the weather and are rusted internally, or are physically broken. PLEASE pack your core with plenty of padding, especially around the connector. Damaged plastic connectors will result in a $50 reduction in core value. We will accept cores that have been previously repaired as long as they were not damaged in the process. We will not accept cores that are returned disassembled or missing components. We try to be more than fair in our core policy. If you have any questions about your cores, please contact us.

How long do I have to return my cores?
We have a very generous core policy which allows 60 days from the date you receive the item to the date we receive the core for a full refund.
After 60 days - minus 25%
After 90 days - minus 50%
After 120 days - core refund is at our discretion - please contact us
Please help us keep our prices low and help other 6.0L owners get back on the road by returning your cores as soon as possible (within 30 days is preferred).
