Pinpoint Test F: DTC C1742 Or DTC C1743
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 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.
- 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 CHARTS in this service information.
- No : GO to F2.
- 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 PARKING AID SPEAKER in this service information. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 PARKING AID MODULE (PAM) in this service information. 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.
