PINPOINT TEST K: DTCs B29AF, B29B0, B29B1 AND B29B2 - FIRE SUPPRESSION MANUAL SWITCH FAILURE

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Use the correct probe adaptor(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adaptor(s) may damage the connector.
NOTE: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough Inspection and Verification before proceeding with the Pinpoint Test.
NOTE: The fire suppression system must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
  1. K1 CHECK FOR A HARD OR INTERMITTENT DTC 
    WARNING: To reduce the risk of accidental deployment, never probe the connectors on the fire suppressors. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Retrieve/Record/Flag Continuous DTCs.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: On-Demand Self-Test.
    • Were DTC B29AF, B29B0, B29B1, or B29B2 retrieved during the on-demand self-test? 

    Yes  : This is a hard fault. The fault condition is still present. This fault cannot be cleared until it is corrected and the DTC is no longer retrieved during the on-demand self-test. GO to K2.

    No  : This is an intermittent fault. The fault condition is not present at this time. CHECK for causes of the intermittent fault. ATTEMPT to recreate the hard fault by flexing the wire harness and cycling the ignition lock cylinder frequently. REPEAT the self-test.
