Pinpoint Test D: DTCS C1699, C1702, C1705 And C1708 Parking Aid Sensor Circuit Short To Battery

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup, 2005 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2005 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2005 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. D1 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCS 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? 
    1. Yes  : If multiple DTCs are recorded, GO to D2.

      For DTCs, C1699, C1702, C1705 or C1708, GO to  D3.

      All others, REFER to the PARKING AID MODULE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX .

    2. No  : GO to PINPOINT TEST B .
  2. D2 CHECK THE BUMPER WIRING HARNESS 
    • Inspect the bumper wiring harness for opens, shorts, grounds, or corrosion.
    • Is the bumper harness OK? 
    1. Yes  : GO to D3.
    2. No  : REPAIR or INSTALL a new bumper wiring harness. REPEAT the self-test.

    • Is any voltage present? 
    1. Yes  : REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
    2. No  : GO to D4.
  4. D4 CHECK THE PARKING AID SENSORS 
    • Install a known good parking aid sensor(s) for each of the suspect parking aid sensor(s).
    • Clear all the DTCs.
    • Test the system for normal operation.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    1. Yes  : GO to D5.
    2. No  : INSTALL a new parking aid sensor. REFER to PARKING AID SENSOR . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  5. D5 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? 
    1. Yes  : INSTALL a new parking aid module. REFER to PARKING AID MODULE . REPEAT the self-test.
    2. 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.
