Pinpoint Test F: DTC C1742 Or DTC C1743

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Milan, 2010 Lincoln MKZ, and 2010 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
  1. F1 CHECK THE DTCs FROM THE PAM SELF-TESTS 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Retrieve the PAM  DTCs from the continuous and on-demand self-tests.
    • Are parking aid DTCs other than C1742 or C1743 present? 
    • Yes:  Diagnose other DTCs first. Refer to DTC TABLES .
    • No:  GO to  F2.
  2. F2 MEASURE THE PARKING AID SPEAKER RESISTANCE 
    • Disconnect: Parking Aid Speaker C4015.
    • Measure the resistance between the parking aid speaker pin 1, component side and the parking aid speaker pin 2, component side.

    • Is the resistance between 40 and 60 ohms? 
    • Yes:  If DTC C1742 was recorded, GO to  F3.

      If DTC C1743 was recorded, GO to  F7.

    • No:  INSTALL a new parking aid speaker. Refer to Removal and Installation . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  3. F3 CHECK THE PARKING AID SPEAKER (+) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Connect: Parking Aid Speaker C4015.
    • Disconnect: PAM  C4014.
    • Measure the resistance between the PAM  C4014-2, circuit CMP09 (BN/BU), harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms? 
    • Yes:  GO to  F5.
    • No:  GO to  F4.
  4. F4 CHECK THE PARKING AID SPEAKER (+) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND WITH THE PARKING AID SPEAKER DISCONNECTED 
    • Disconnect: Parking Aid Speaker C4015.
    • Measure the resistance between the PAM  C4014-2, circuit CMP09 (BN/BU), harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms? 
    • Yes:  REPAIR circuit RMP09 (BU/GN). CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No:  REPAIR circuit CMP09 (BN/BU). CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
  5. F5 CHECK THE PARKING AID SPEAKER (+) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    • Disconnect: Parking Aid Speaker C4015.
    • Measure the resistance between the PAM  C4014-2, circuit CMP09 (BN/BU), harness side and the parking aid speaker C4015-2, circuit CMP09 (BN/BU), harness side.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes:  GO to  F6.
    • No:  REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
  6. F6 CHECK THE PARKING AID SPEAKER (-) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    • Measure the resistance between the PAM  C4014-6, circuit RMP09 (BU/GN), harness side and the parking aid speaker C4015-1, circuit RMP09 (BU/GN), harness side.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes:  GO to  F8.
    • No:  REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
  7. F7 CHECK THE PARKING AID SPEAKER CIRCUITRY FOR SHORTS TO VOLTAGE 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure the voltage between the PAM  C4014-2, circuit CMP09 (BN/BU), harness side and ground; and between the PAM  C4014-6, circuit RMP09 (BU/GN), harness side and ground.

    • Is any voltage present? 
    • Yes:  REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No:  GO to  F8.
  8. F8 CHECK FOR CORRECT PAM OPERATION 
    • Disconnect the PAM  connector.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • damaged pins
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect the PAM  connector and make sure it seats correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    • Yes:  INSTALL a new PAM  . Refer to Removal and Installation . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. CARRY OUT the scan tool data link 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.
