What is MID 65:

MID 65 refers to a problem with the Fuel Injector Control Module (FICM). The ECM detects an issue with the injector control circuit, which can affect fuel injector operation and lead to misfires, poor fuel efficiency, or engine stalling.

Why This Happens:

  • Faulty FICM.
  • Shorted or damaged wiring in the injector control circuit.
  • Loose or corroded connectors in the FICM circuit.
  • Power supply issues affecting the FICM.
  • ECM failure to process the FICM signal correctly.


How to Fix It:

  1. Inspect the FICM and wiring for visible damage or malfunction.
  2. Test the FICM to ensure it is operating correctly and sending the proper signals.
  3. Check connectors for cleanliness and tightness.
  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.
  • 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 injector control systems and prevent issues before they affect engine operation.
