Ford FICM 6.0: What You Need to Know
By JEREMY PROOME on Jul 14, 2025The Ford FICM is the fuel injection control module made by Ford. This is an integral component present in many cars, given that a lot of Ford vehicles utilise the Ford Powerstroke 6L diesel engine. Specifically, it’s a common feature on many Ford trucks and larger vehicles.
The Ford FICM 6.0 produces a 48-volt electrical supply to two solenoids that control oil-flow into the fuel injectors. They are prone to malfunctioning, which results in poor performance, trouble starting the vehicle, a lack of power, and injector issues.
Where is the Ford FICM 6.0 located?
The FICM is located on the driver's side of the engine, above the valve cover.
What does the Ford FICM 6.0 do?
The Ford FICM 6.0 has two primary functions: controlling the timing and duration of fuel injection into the engine, and providing power (volts) to control the fuel flow.
What are some of the reasons the Ford FICM 6.0 would not work?
-
Voltage problem - the Ford FICM 6.0 needs to generate 48 volts for the fuel injectors to work correctly. If the voltage drops below 48, this can cause injector issues.
-
Battery issues - poor voltage from your vehicle’s battery can cause the FICM to malfunction.
-
Faulty alternator - your vehicle's alternator could be damaged and cause the FICM to work inefficiently.
