Pinpoint Test I: DTC B1010 Parking Aid Switch Not Connected: 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.
- I1 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTC FROM BOTH THE CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND PARKING AID MODULE SELF-TESTS
- Retrieve the recorded parking aid module DTCs from the continuous and on-demand self-tests.
- Are any DTCs recorded?
- Yes
: For DTC B1010, GO to I2.
All others, REFER to the PARKING AID MODULE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX .
- No : GO to PINPOINT TEST B .
- I2 CHECK CIRCUIT 1435 (DG/VT) FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Parking Aid Module C3267.
- Measure the voltage between the parking aid module C3267-11, circuit 1435 (DG/VT), harness side and ground.
- Is any voltage present?
- Yes : REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- No : GO to I3.
- I3 CHECK PARKING AID SWITCH CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- While pressing and releasing the parking aid switch, measure the resistance between the parking aid module C3267-11, circuit 1435 (DG/VT), harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms with the switch pressed and greater than 10,000 ohms with the switch released?
- Yes : GO to I6.
- No : GO to I4.
- I4 CHECK CIRCUIT 1435 (DG/VT) FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: Parking Aid Switch C2114.
- Measure the resistance between the parking aid module C3267-11, circuit 1435 (DG/VT), harness side and the parking aid switch C2114-3, circuit 1435 (DG/VT), harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : GO to I5.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- I5 CHECK CIRCUIT 1205 (BK) FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between the parking aid switch C2114-4, circuit 1205 (BK), harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : INSTALL a new parking aid switch. REFER to PARKING AID SWITCH . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- I6 CHECK FOR CORRECT PARKING AID MODULE OPERATION
- Disconnect the parking aid module connector.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- pushed-out pins
- Connect the parking aid module 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 parking aid module. REFER to PARKING AID MODULE . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. CARRY OUT the diagnostic 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.
