PINPOINT TEST G: DTCS B1990 and B1991: PEDAL FORWARD/REARWARD POTENTIOMETER FEEDBACK CIRCUIT SHORT TO BATTERY
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Pickup, 2004 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2004 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2004 Ford Excursion, and 2004 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- G1 CHECK DSM FOR CORRECT OUTPUTS - MONITOR THE DSM PID PDL___POS
- Use the adjustable pedal switch to move the pedals to a central position.
- Monitor the DSM PID PDL___POS while moving the adjustable pedal switch into the FWD position, then into the RWD position.
- Does the PID value decrease with forward movement, and increase with rearward movement, throughout the pedal's entire travel?
- Yes : INSTALL a new DSM. refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- No :GO to G2.
- G2 CHECK PEDAL POSITION SENSOR CIRCUITS FOR SHORT TO POWER
- Disconnect: DSM C305a.
- Disconnect: Adjustable Pedal Motor C2003.
- Measure the voltage between adjustable pedal motor C2003-2, circuit 1491 (LB/YE), harness side and ground; and between adjustable pedal motor C2003-1, circuit 446 (OG/WH), harness side and ground; and between adjustable pedal motor sensor C2003-3, circuit 447 (OG/RD), harness side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts in any check?
- Yes : REPAIR the short to battery in circuit 1491 (LB/YE), circuit 446 (OG/WH), or circuit 447 (OG/RD), as necessary. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No :GO to G3.
- G3 CHECK PEDAL POSITION SENSOR CIRCUITS FOR SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure the resistance between adjustable pedal motor C2003-2, circuit 1491 (LB/YE), harness side and ground; and between adjustable pedal motor C2003-1, circuit 446 (OG/WH), harness side and ground; and between adjustable pedal motor C2003-3, circuit 447 (OG/RD), harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance less than 10,000 ohms?
- Yes : GO to G4.
- No :REPAIR circuit 1491 (LB/YE), circuit 446 (OG/WH), or circuit 447 (OG/RD), as necessary. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- G4 CHECK PEDAL POSITION CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between adjustable pedal motor sensor C2003-2, circuit 1491 (LB/YE), harness side and DSM A341c-15, circuit 1491 (LB/YE), harness side; and between adjustable pedal motor C2003-1, circuit 446 (OG/WH), harness side and DSM A341c-3, circuit 446 (OG/WH), harness side; and between adjustable pedal motor sensor C2003-3, circuit 447 (OG/RD), harness side and A341c-1, circuit 447 (OG/RD), harness side.
- Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : GO to G5.
- No :REPAIR circuit 1491 (LB/YE), circuit 446 (OG/WH), or circuit 447 (OG/RD), as necessary. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- G5 CHECK ADJUSTABLE PEDAL MOTOR SENSOR
- Disconnect: Adjustable Pedal Motor C2003.
- Measure the resistance between adjustable pedal motor C2003-2, circuit 1491 (LB/YE), and adjustable pedal motor C2003-1, circuit 446 (OG/WH), harness side and between adjustable pedal motor C2003-2, circuit 1491 (LB/YE) and C2003-3, circuit 447 (OG/RD) component side.
- Are the resistances between 5,400 ohms and 3,700 ohms?
- Yes : INSTALL a new DSM. refer to SEATING . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- No :INSTALL a new adjustable pedal motor. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. refer to DISC - EXCURSION, F250-F550 SUPER DUTY PICKUP . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
