PINPOINT TEST B : P0504, P0572, P0573, Or P1703
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.
- B1 CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE STOPLAMPS
- Ignition ON.
- Operate the stoplamps.
Do the stoplamps and high mounted stoplamp operate correctly?
Yes GO to B2. No Refer to Exterior Lighting , Stoplamps. - B2 CHECK THE STOPLAMP SWITCH (BOO1) AND CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATOR SWITCH (BOO2) PIDs
- Using a scan tool, view PCM PIDs.
- Monitor the PCM PIDs BOO1 (stoplamp switch) and BOO2 (cruise control deactivator switch) while applying and releasing the brake pedal.
Brake Pedal Position BOO1 PID BOO2 PID Released Off Off Applied lightly On Off Applied firmly On On
Do the PID values agree with the brake pedal position?
Yes GO to B8. No For an incorrect BOO1 PID value, GO to B3.For an incorrect BOO2 PID value, GO to B4. - B3 CHECK THE STOPLAMP SWITCH CIRCUIT
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: PCM C175B .
- Ignition ON.
- While applying the brake pedal, measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C175B-66 Ground
Is the voltage greater than 11 volts with the brake pedal applied?
Yes GO to B8. No REPAIR the circuit. - B4 CHECK THE CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATOR SWITCH FOR CORRECT OPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: PCM C175B .
- While firmly applying and releasing the brake pedal, measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C175B-65 Ground
Is the resistance less than 3 ohms with the brake pedal released, and greater than 10, 000 ohms with the brake pedal firmly applied?
Yes GO to B8. No GO to B5. - B5 CHECK THE CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATOR SWITCH GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: Stoplamp Switch C278 .
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C278-2 Ground
Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
Yes GO to B6. No REPAIR the circuit. - B6 CHECK THE CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATOR SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C278-3 Ground
Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?
Yes GO to B7. No REPAIR the circuit. - Measure:
- B7 CHECK THE CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATOR SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C175B-65 Ground
Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
Yes INSTALL a new stoplamp switch. REFER to Exterior Lighting . No REPAIR the circuit. - Measure:
- B8 CHECK FOR CORRECT PCM OPERATION
- Disconnect and inspect all the PCM connectors.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- Reconnect the PCM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if 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 TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new PCM. REFER to Electronic Engine Controls . No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
