What is MID 140:
MID 140 refers to a problem with the Fuel Injector Control Circuit. The ECM has detected an issue with the injector control system, which can lead to improper fuel injection, misfires, engine stalling, 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 in the injector control circuit.
- Power supply issues affecting the FICM.
- ECM failure to process data from the FICM properly.
How to Fix It:
- Inspect the Fuel Injector Control Module (FICM) and wiring for visible damage.
- Test the FICM to ensure it’s operating properly and sending the correct signals.
- Check connectors for tightness and cleanliness.
- Replace the faulty FICM if necessary.
- 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 FICM performance.
- Ensure stable power supply to the FICM and ECM communication.
- Clue’s Fuel Management services monitor injector control systems and help prevent performance issues before they affect engine operation.
