First checks (general, for this failure type)

The exact failure mode could not be identified. Follow the model service manual test procedure for this component rather than guessing.

These are general electrical checks for FMI 11 faults, not a substitute for the model-specific test procedure. If the fault is active and the machine is derated or shut down, follow the service manual for your model and serial prefix.

Need the part?

If the checks point to a failed sensor, solenoid or harness part, send us the code (224 / FMI 11), the machine model and serial number — we quote genuine and OEM replacement parts for export.
