Pinpoint Test H: A Single Door Lock Is Inoperative

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford RV Cutaway, 2005 Ford Econoline, 2005 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2005 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. H1 CHECK THE DOOR LOCK OPERATION 
    • Observe the door lock operation while operating the door locks.
    • Does the sliding door lock actuator operate correctly? 
    • Yes  : GO to H2.
    • No  : GO to  H4.
  2. H2 CHECK CIRCUIT 117 (PK/BK) FOR VOLTAGE 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Suspect Door Lock Actuator Connector.
    • Measure the voltage between the suspect door lock actuator connector pin 1, circuit 117 (PK/BK), harness side and ground while pressing the door lock control switch LOCK button.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    • Yes  : GO to H3.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  3. H3 CHECK CIRCUIT 118 (PK/OG) OR CIRCUIT 163 (RD/OG) FOR VOLTAGE 
    • For the LH front door lock actuator, measure the voltage between the LH front door lock actuator C525-2, circuit 163 (RD/OG), harness side and ground while pressing the door lock control switch UNLOCK button.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    • Yes  : For vehicles with a sliding door, GO to H4.

      For vehicles without a sliding door, INSTALL a new door lock actuator. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.

    • No  : REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  4. H4 CHECK THE SLIDING DOOR AJAR PID 
    • Connect the diagnostic tool.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: Vehicle security module function tests, sliding door ajar PID.

      Monitor the sliding door ajar PID while opening and closing the sliding door.

    • Does the sliding door ajar PID respond correctly to the sliding door position? 
    • Yes  : GO to  H6.
    • No  : GO to H5.
  5. H5 CHECK CIRCUIT 628 (WH) FOR AN OPEN OR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Measure the resistance between the vehicle security module C203a-5, circuit 628 (WH), harness side and the sliding door ajar switch C398-1, circuit 628 (WH), harness side; and between the vehicle security module C203a-5, circuit 628 (WH), harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms between the vehicle security module connector and the sliding door ajar switch connector, and greater than 10,000 ohms between the vehicle security module connector and ground? 
    • Yes  : GO to  H8.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  6. H6 CHECK CIRCUIT 117 (PK/BK) AND CIRCUIT 118 (PK/OG) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Close the sliding door.
    • Measure the resistance between the vehicle security module C203a-22, circuit 117 (PK/BK), harness side and the sliding door lock actuator C817-1, circuit 117 (PK/BK), harness side; and between the vehicle security module C203a-11, circuit 118 (PK/OG), harness side and the sliding door lock actuator C817-2, circuit 118 (PK/OG), harness side.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new sliding door lock actuator. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
    • No  : GO to H7.
  7. H7 CHECK THE SLIDING DOOR CONTACT PLATE 
    • With the sliding door closed, measure the resistance between the sliding door contact plate C3235 pin 3, component side and the sliding door contact plate C807 pin 3, component side; and between the sliding door contact plate C3235 pin 2, component side and the sliding door contact plate C807 pin 2, component side.

    • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new sliding door lock actuator. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
    • No  : INSTALL a new sliding door contact plate. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  8. H8 CHECK THE VEHICLE SECURITY MODULE FOR CORRECT OPERATION 
    • Disconnect all vehicle security module connectors.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect all vehicle security module connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new vehicle security module. REFER to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES . PROGRAM all RKE transmitters. REFER to REMOTE TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING . INFORM the customer any RKE transmitters not present need to be programmed. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-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.
