Pinpoint Test G : B1B71:11 Or B1B71:15

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may cause damage to the connector.

G6 CHECK THE EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TOGETHER

Measure:

Positive Lead	Measurement / Action	Negative Lead
C296-1	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	C296-2

Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?

Yes	GO to G7.
No	REPAIR the circuits.

G7 CHECK FOR CORRECT HVAC CONTROL MODULE OPERATION

Disconnect and inspect all HVAC control module connectors.

Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

Reconnect all HVAC control module connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.

Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.

Is the concern still present?

Yes	CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSB addresses this concern, INSTALL a new HVAC control module. REFER to Climate Control .
No	The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
