What is CID 41:

CID 41 refers to an issue with the fuel injector control system. The ECM detects a malfunction in the injector control circuit, which can lead to improper fuel injection timing and result in engine misfires, poor performance, or stalling.

Why This Happens:

  • Faulty fuel injector control module (FICM).
  • Shorted or damaged wiring in the injector control circuit.
  • Loose or corroded connectors in the circuit.
  • Power supply issues affecting the FICM.
  • ECM failure to interpret injector control signals.

How to Fix It:

  1. Inspect the fuel injector control module (FICM) and wiring for damage.
  2. Test the FICM for proper operation and signal transmission.
  3. Check connectors for tightness and cleanliness.
  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 and prevent issues before they affect engine operation.
