WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. 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 damage the connector.

  1. Y1 CHECK THE REAR AIR DISCHARGE TEMPERATURE SENSOR AND REAR FOOTWELL AIR DISCHARGE TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Disconnect FCIM .

    • Ignition ON.

    • Measure:

    Are the resistances greater than 10, 000 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  Y3
    No  REPAIR the circuit.
  3. Y3 CHECK THE REAR AIR DISCHARGE TEMPERATURE SENSOR AND REAR FOOTWELL AIR DISCHARGE TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN

    • Disconnect FCIM .

    • Disconnect Rear Air Discharge Temperature Sensor .

    • Disconnect Rear Footwell Air Discharge Temperature Sensor .

    • Measure:

      Rear Air Discharge Temperature Sensor

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    Yes  INSTALL a new Rear Air Discharge Temperature Sensor or a new Rear Footwell Air Discharge Temperature Sensor. REFER to Rear Climate Control . TEST the system for normal operation. If the concern is still present, GO to  Y4
    No  REPAIR the circuit.
  4. Y4 CHECK FOR CORRECT FCIM (FRONT CONTROLS INTERFACE MODULE) OPERATION

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Disconnect and inspect all the FCIM 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 FCIM 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 service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles address this concern, INSTALL a new FCIM. Refer to the appropriate Information and Entertainment Systems article for the procedure.
    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.
