What is MID 106 & How to Solve It?

What is MID 106:

MID 106 refers to an issue with the Fuel Injector Control Module (FICM). The ECM has detected that the FICM is malfunctioning or sending an out-of-range signal, which could lead to improper fuel injector timing and engine performance issues.

‍

Why This Happens:

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

How to Fix It:

1. Inspect the Fuel Injector Control Module (FICM) for visible damage or malfunction.
   
2. Test the FICM for proper voltage and functionality.
   
3. Check connectors for tightness and cleanliness.
   
4. Replace the faulty FICM if necessary.
   
5. Ensure that the ECM is receiving and interpreting data from the FICM correctly.
   
   

How to Avoid It Before It Happens:

• Regularly inspect the FICM and wiring for damage or wear.
  
• Keep connectors clean and corrosion-free.
  
• Perform routine diagnostic checks to monitor FICM performance.
  
• Ensure stable power supply to the FICM.
  
• Clue’s Fuel Management services proactively monitor fuel injector control systems to detect issues early and ensure optimal engine performance.
