What is CID 14:

CID 14 refers to an issue with the fuel system, particularly related to the fuel injector control module (FICM). The ECM detects a malfunction, leading to improper fuel injection, misfires, or poor engine performance.

Why This Happens:

  • Faulty Fuel Injector Control Module (FICM).
  • Shorted or damaged wiring in the injector control circuit.
  • Loose or corroded connectors.
  • Power supply issues affecting the FICM.
  • ECM failure to process injector control data.

How to Fix It:

  1. Inspect the FICM and wiring for visible damage or malfunction.
  2. Test the FICM to ensure it is sending the proper signals.
  3. Check connectors for cleanliness and tightness.
  4. Replace the faulty FICM if necessary.
  5. Ensure stable power supply to the FICM and ECM communication.

How to Avoid It Before It Happens:

  • Regularly inspect the FICM and wiring for damage.
  • Keep connectors clean and free from corrosion.
  • Perform routine diagnostic checks to monitor injector control performance.
  • Ensure stable power supply to the FICM and ECM communication.
  • Clue’s fuel management services track injector control systems to prevent malfunctions before they affect engine operation.
