What is MID 145:
MID 145 refers to an issue with the Fuel Injector Control Module (FICM), which manages fuel injector timing. The ECM detects a fault with the FICM, which could cause incorrect fuel injector operation and result in misfires or engine performance issues.
Why This Happens:
- Faulty Fuel Injector Control Module (FICM).
- Shorted or damaged wiring in the FICM circuit.
- Loose or corroded connectors in the FICM circuit.
- Power supply issues affecting the FICM.
- ECM failure to interpret the FICM data.
How to Fix It:
- Inspect the Fuel Injector Control Module (FICM) and wiring for damage or malfunction.
- Test the FICM to ensure it is operating correctly and sending the proper signals.
- Check connectors for tightness and cleanliness.
- Replace the faulty FICM if necessary.
- Ensure proper power supply and communication with the ECM.
How to Avoid It Before It Happens:
- Regularly inspect the FICM and wiring for damage.
- Keep connectors clean and corrosion-free.
- Perform routine diagnostic checks to monitor FICM performance.
- Ensure stable power supply to the FICM and ECM communication.
- Clue’s Fuel Management services proactively monitor injector control systems to detect issues before they affect engine operation.
