Signal Function

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Ford RV Cutaway, 2006 Ford Pickup, 2006 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2006 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2006 Ford Econoline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The FICM requires a 12-volt power source. The FICM receives power from the vehicle batteries through the FICM relay contacts each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. The powertrain control module (PCM) communicates with the FICM using the controller area network (CAN) protocol. The CAN protocol is an international standards organization (ISO) standard for serial data communication. The CAN protocol standard includes a physical layer using differential transmission on a twisted pair of wires and a data link layer that defines different message types, arbitration rules for bus access, methods for fault detection and fault confinement.
