PINPOINT TEST C: DTCs C1B14:11 AND 12
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.
- C1 CHECK THE SENSOR RESISTANCE
- Check for HVAC DTCs.
- Is DTC C1B14:11 present?
- C2 CHECK CIRCUIT LH111 (BN/WH) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: HVAC Module - Electronic Manual Temperature Control (EMTC) C2357a.
- Disconnect: HVAC Module - Dual Automatic Temperature Control (DATC) C2356a.
- Disconnect: HVAC Module - DATC C2356b.
- Measure the resistance between ground and HVAC module - EMTC C2357a-11 or HVAC module - DATC C2356a-11, circuit LH111 (BN/WH), harness side.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
- Yes: GO to C3.
- No: REPAIR circuit LH111 (BN/WH) for a short to ground. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
- C3 CHECK CIRCUITS LH111 (BN/WH) AND RH111 (GY/BU) FOR A SHORT TOGETHER
- Measure the resistance between HVAC module - EMTC C2357a-11 or HVAC module - DATC C2356a-11, circuit LH111 (BN/WH), harness side and HVAC module - EMTC C2357a-10 or HVAC module C2356a-10, circuit RH111 (GY/BU), harness side.
- Is the resistance greater than 200 ohms?
- Yes: GO to C5.
- No: REPAIR circuits LH111 (BN/WH) and RH111 (GY/BU) for a short together. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
- C4 CHECK CIRCUIT LH111 (BN/WH) FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: HVAC Module - EMTC C2357a.
- Disconnect: HVAC Module - DATC C2356a.
- Disconnect: HVAC Module - DATC C2356b.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure the voltage between ground and HVAC module - EMTC C2357a-11 or HVAC module - DATC C2356a-11, circuit LH111 (BN/WH), harness side.
- Is any voltage present?
- Yes: REPAIR circuit LH111 (BN/WH) for a short to voltage. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No: GO to C5.
- C5 CHECK THE MODULE CONNECTION
- Inspect the module connectors for:
- corrosion.
- pushed-out terminals.
- damaged terminals.
- Connect and correctly seat all the HVAC module connectors.
- Clear the DTCs.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
- Yes: INSTALL a new HVAC module. REFER to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Fusion, Milan) and REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (MKZ) . TEST the system for normal operation.
- 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. TEST the system for normal operation.
- Inspect the module connectors for:
