DTC C1963
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is stored if the stability assist warning indicator has been turned ON because the system could not confirm the straight ahead position for more than 30 seconds above 18 km/h (11 mph). This condition will most likely occur if there is some other DTC. If there is another DTC logged with this DTC, the repair procedure is to follow the procedure for the other DTC. This DTC can be stored if:
- PRNDL or Reverse switch has failed (check operation of PRNDL display and back-up lights)
- Chassis modifications have been made that were not authorized by Ford.
In very rare circumstances this DTC may be stored by itself without the occurrence of any actual component failure. Two conditions can cause the DTC C1963 to set with no other DTC:
- The steering wheel has been turned while the ignition is off and then the vehicle is started, and either the vehicle is driven continuously in a circle or the vehicle is driven with continuous swerving, sliding or tire spinning.
- A new stability assist module may have been installed in the vehicle and was not calibrated.
