Pinpoint Test A: No Communication With The Instrument Cluster: Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Montego, 2005 Ford Freestyle, and 2005 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- A1 CHECK THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER POWER SUPPLY
- Disconnect: Instrument Cluster C220.
- Key in ON position.
- Measure the voltage between the instrument cluster, harness side and ground as follows:DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
Instrument Cluster Connector-Pin Circuit C220-1 1566 (RD/YE) C220-3 483 (RD) C220-5 295 (LB/PK) - Are the voltages greater than 10 volts?
- Yes : GO to A2.
- No : REPAIR the circuit in question. TEST the system for normal operation.
- A2 CHECK THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GROUND CIRCUITS
- Key in OFF position.
- Measure the resistance between the instrument cluster, harness side and ground as follows:DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
Instrument Cluster Connector-Pin Circuit C220-2 1203 (BK/LB) C220-4 1205 (BK) - Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : REFER to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK to continue communication diagnosis.
- No : REPAIR the circuit in question. TEST the system for normal operation.
