What is a FICM?The Fuel Injection Control Module (FICM) sends an electrical pulse to the injector so the correct amount of fuel will be delivered to the cylinder at the correct time. The FICM is vitally important to your engine’s performance and fuel economy.

Both the Half Shell and Whole FICM can be purchased from your local Ford dealership or from www.FordParts.com

The FICM contains two major internal components:

The converter board amplifies battery voltage, as needed, up to 48 volts to ensure precise fuel flow through the fuel injectors

The processor board contains software that is programmed to ensure proper operation of the converter board

We are now offering a Half Shell FICM (converter board) as an additional repair alternative to the Whole FICM.
