What is MID 116:
MID 116 refers to a problem with the Fuel Injector Control Module (FICM). This fault occurs when the ECM detects an issue with the FICM, which controls the fuel injectors. This can lead to improper fuel injection, causing engine misfires, reduced fuel economy, or engine stalling.
Why This Happens:
- Faulty Fuel Injector Control Module (FICM).
- Shorted or damaged wiring in the FICM circuit.
- Loose or corroded connectors.
- Power supply issues affecting the FICM.
- ECM failure to interpret the FICM’s signal correctly.
How to Fix It:
- Inspect the Fuel Injector Control Module (FICM) and wiring for damage or malfunction.
- Test the FICM to ensure it’s sending proper voltage to the fuel injectors.
- Check connectors for tightness and cleanliness.
- Replace the faulty FICM if necessary.
- Ensure the ECM is receiving and processing data from the FICM correctly.
How to Avoid It Before It Happens:
- Regularly inspect the FICM and wiring.
- Keep connectors clean and free from corrosion.
- Perform routine diagnostic checks to monitor injector control system performance.
- Ensure stable power supply to the FICM.
- Clue’s Fuel Management services help monitor fuel injector control systems and prevent performance issues before they affect engine operation.
