04 6.0l no start

All of the FICM voltages are zero? What codes? New FICM relay? Backprobe the FICM pins and verify power/ground and voltage drops.

 

I'd install a breakout box and compare all pin voltages to the WSM. If that got nowhere, I'd start scoping all of the PCM pins.

 

Good Luck!

Think logically- you either have a wiring problem with an open/shorted circuit, or a bad component. Install a BOB and check all voltages KOEO at the PCM pins and compare them with the WSM voltage levels. I do not know of a BOB for the FICM, but I suggest strongly you check power and ground at the FICM itself to rule out power supply problems. Compare voltages with the battery negative post, voltage drops should be under .1v with under .050v preferred. With a BOB installed, I'd verify the communication circuits are intact between the FICM and PCM with a voltmeter and ohmmeter. Check the FICM plugs very closely for pins pushed into the connector, bent pins, and make sure both lock tabs are perfect n each connector. Put some spray silicone on them to make sure they push in completely, as they're in a difficult spot to connect. I keep a known good FICM on hand for weird ones and suggest you guys do too, as your new one could be bad.

 

 

With all of your FICM PWR voltages zero, the circuits I'd focus on are the power and ground to the FICM, communication circuits between the FICM and PCM, and the possibility of a bad new FICM. You did program the new FICM with the IDS, right?

 

Good Luck!

I've seen 2 '04 6.0s with a no start and no power to the FICM.

Both had rubbed through (green death) wires on the left inner fender down near the shock tower area.

 

From memory (bare with me) the wire that feeds the trigger circuit for the FICM relay was rubbed through.

 

Jumping the FICM relay made both start.

I have also seen wires damaged near the left battery box, the harness that goes between the FICM and the PCM. This one had been in a collision, but had heads replaced previously, involving engine re+re(according to warranty claim, anyhow). I don't know when it happened, but harnesses were not properly located and rubbed through. Truck was towed in no-start and PPTest led to FICM replacement, which did not fix it.
