What is the FMI fault code?
1 Answers
FMI is a fault code display format specified by SAE. In the past, reading fault codes required the use of a decoder, but now some vehicle models come equipped with built-in decoder functionality. Introduction to automotive fault codes: Automotive fault codes are codes generated by the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) after analyzing a malfunction. Generally, fault codes are caused by sensor failures or poor sensor performance, but some mechanical faults cannot be read by the ECU. Classification of automotive fault codes: The first type is intermittent faults; the other is actual faults. Typically, intermittent faults can be cleared as long as they do not reappear. However, actual faults can only be cleared after being repaired.
