Pinpoint Test F: The Delayed Accessory Is Inoperative
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.
Test Step
- F1 CHECK VOLTAGE TO THE ACCESSORY DELAY RELAY
- Disconnect: Rear Window Defrost Relay.
- Measure the voltage between accessory delay relay pin 30, harness side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
Result / Action to Take
- Yes : GO to F2.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- F2 CHECK VOLTAGE TO THE ACCESSORY DELAY RELAY FROM THE BATTERY SAVER RELAY
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: Activate the Battery Saver Relay.
- Measure the voltage between accessory delay relay pin 85, harness side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- Yes : GO to F3.
- No : GO to F4.
- F3 CHECK INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MODULE (ICM)
- Measure the resistance between accessory delay relay pin 86, harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : INSTALL a new accessory delay relay. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : GO to F5.
- F4 CHECK CIRCUIT 54 (LG/YE) FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: Instrument Cluster Module (ICM) C220c.
- Measure the resistance between accessory delay relay pin 85, harness side and ICM C220c pin 1, circuit 54 (LG/YE) harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : REFER to EXTERIOR LIGHTING to diagnose the battery saver relay. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- F5 CHECK CIRCUIT 1332 (LB) FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: Instrument Cluster Module (ICM) C220b.
- Measure the resistance between accessory delay relay pin 86, harness side and ICM C220b pin 8, circuit 1332 (LB) harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : REFER to EXTERIOR LIGHTING to diagnose the battery saver relay. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
