What is MID 36:

MID 36 refers to a problem with the Fuel Injector Control Circuit. The ECM detects an abnormal signal or failure in the injector control system, which can cause improper fuel injection timing, engine misfires, or poor performance.

Why This Happens:

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

How to Fix It:

  1. Inspect the Fuel Injector Control Module (FICM) and wiring for damage.
  2. Test the FICM to ensure it is functioning properly.
  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 or wear.
  • 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 track fuel injector control systems to prevent issues before they affect engine operation.
