Test H: Auxiliary Powertrain Control System: Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- 1) Verify Operation Procedure
Ensure vehicle has proper calibration. Refer to auxiliary powertrain control manual provided with system to verify correct operating procedures and entry conditions. If entry conditions are met and proper calibration is installed, go to next step. If entry conditions are not met and proper calibration is not installed, correct operating procedure or correct calibration level as necessary. Clear error codes and DTCs and retest. If system still does not operate, go to next step. - 2) Check For DTCs
Ensure auxiliary powertrain control system is off. Using scan tool, perform KOEO ON-DEMAND SELF-TEST , KOER ON-DEMAND SELF-TEST and KOER SWITCH SELF-TEST under QUICK TEST. Retrieve DTCs. If any DTCs are present, service DTCs as necessary. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS . If no DTCs are present, go to next step. - 3) Check For KEY ON Power
Turn ignition off. Disconnect APCM connector. Connector is located behind left side of instrument panel, near steering column. Turn ignition on. Using DVOM, check for battery voltage between chassis ground and specified APCM PWR circuit at APCM harness connector. See APCM CIRCUIT WIRE COLOR IDENTIFICATION table. See Figure-Figure . If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is not present, locate and repair open in Red/Light Green wire between ignition switch and APCM Econoline), or remove and inspect APCM PWR circuit fuse located in central junction box (F250-750). Central junction box is located behind lower left side of instrument panel. If fuse is blown, replace fuse and check for short to ground in Red/Yellow wire. If fuse is okay, repair open in Red/Yellow wire between central junction box and APCM. Clear codes and retest. - 4) Check GND Circuit
Turn ignition off. Using DVOM, measure resistance between chassis ground and specified GND terminal at APCM harness connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Black wire between APCM and ground. Clear codes and retest. - 5) Check For Open In BUS (-) Circuit
Using DVOM, measure resistance of BUS (-) circuit between specified terminal at APCM harness connector and terminal No. 10 at Data Link Connector (DLC). See APCM CIRCUIT WIRE COLOR IDENTIFICATION table. See Figure-Figure . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in BUS (-) circuit. Clear codes and retest. - 6) Check For Open In BUS (+) Circuit
Using DVOM, measure resistance of BUS (+) circuit between specified terminal at APCM harness connector and terminal No. 2 at DLC. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace APCM. Clear codes and retest. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, locate and repair open in BUS (+) circuit. Clear codes and retest. - 7) APCM Inoperative With Hazard Flashers (Except Cutaway)
Turn ignition off. Apply service brake pedal. If hi-mount brakelight illuminates, go to TEST FD, step 1). If hi-mount brakelight does not illuminate, go to next step. - 8) Check Hi-Mount Brakelight
Remove and inspect hi-mount brakelight bulb. Bench test bulb by applying battery voltage to one side and ground to the other. Replace bulb as necessary and retest system operation. Clear codes and retest. If bulb is okay, go to next step. - 9) Check GND Circuit
Using DVOM, measure resistance of Black wire between chassis ground and hi-mount brakelight bulb socket. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, locate and repair open in ground circuit. Clear codes and retest. - 10) Check For PWR Circuit To Brakelight Bulb
Turn ignition off. Apply service brake pedal. Using non-powered test light, probe between chassis ground and Light Green wire at hi-mount brakelight bulb socket. If battery voltage is present, check for loose connection in bulb socket. Repair as necessary. Clear codes and retest. If battery voltage is not present, repair open in Light Green wire. Clear codes and retest. - 11) APCM Inoperative With Hazard Flashers (Cutaway)
Disconnect brake resistor, located on left "B" pillar. Using DVOM, measure resistance of Black wire between resistor connector and chassis ground. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Black wire. Clear codes and retest. - 12) Check Power Circuit To Brake Resistor
Apply service brake pedal. Using non-powered test light, probe between Light Green wire at brake resistor connector and chassis ground. If test light illuminates, go to next step. If test light does not illuminate, repair open in Light Green wire. Clear codes and retest. - 13) Check Brake Resistor
Using a DVOM, measure resistance across brake resistor. If resistance is 130-150 ohms, reconnect resistor and go to TEST FD, step 1). If resistance is not 130-150 ohms, replace resistor. Clear codes and retest.
NOTE:
When performing KOER SWITCH TEST, wait 5 seconds after pressing "Trigger" to start test before running through driver operated controls. Test may take up to 5 minutes to complete.
NOTE:
Cutaway models are equipped with a brake resistor to simulate hi-mount brakelight bulb. Brake resistor is also referred to as brakelight switch jumper.
