Pinpoint Test I: DTC B1010 Parking Aid Switch Not Connected: Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Montego, 2005 Ford Freestyle, and 2005 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

I1 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTC FROM BOTH THE CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND PARKING AID MODULE SELF-TESTS
- Retrieve the recorded parking aid module DTCs from the continuous and on-demand self-tests.
- Are any DTCs recorded?
- Yes : For DTC B1010, GO to I2.
  All others, REFER to the PARKING AID MODULE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX .
- No : GO to PINPOINT TEST B .
I2 CHECK CIRCUIT 1435 (DG/VT) FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Parking Aid Module C3267.
- Measure the voltage between the parking aid module C3267-11, circuit 1435 (DG/VT), harness side and ground.

- Is any voltage present?
- Yes : REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- No : GO to I3.
I3 CHECK PARKING AID SWITCH CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- While pressing and releasing the parking aid switch, measure the resistance between the parking aid module C3267-11, circuit 1435 (DG/VT), harness side and ground.

- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms with the switch pressed and greater than 10,000 ohms with the switch released?
- Yes : GO to I6.
- No : GO to I4.
I4 CHECK CIRCUIT 1435 (DG/VT) FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: Parking Aid Switch C2114.
- Measure the resistance between the parking aid module C3267-11, circuit 1435 (DG/VT), harness side and the parking aid switch C2114-3, circuit 1435 (DG/VT), harness side.

- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : INSTALL a new parking aid switch. REFER to PARKING AID SWITCH . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
I6 CHECK FOR CORRECT PARKING AID MODULE OPERATION
- Disconnect the parking aid module connector.
- Check for:
  - corrosion
  - pushed-out pins
- Connect the parking aid module connector and make sure it seats correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
- Yes : INSTALL a new parking aid module. REFER to PARKING AID MODULE . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. CARRY OUT the diagnostic tool data link test.
- No : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
