Inspection and Verification
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Milan, 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, and 2006 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Verify the customer concern.
- Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.VISUAL INSPECTION CHART
Mechanical Electrical - Engine oil level
- Door adjustment
- Trunk adjustment
- Engine coolant level
- Fuel tank
- Fuel evaporative system
- Brake fluid level
- Accessory drive belt
- Smart junction box (SJB) fuse(s):
- 13 (7.5A)
- 23 (7.5A)
- 27 (7.5A)
- Circuitry
- Instrument cluster
- If the cause is not visually evident, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
- If the concern remains after the inspection, connect the diagnostic tool to the data link connector (DLC) and select the vehicle to be tested from the diagnostic tool menu. If the diagnostic tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
- Check that the program card is correctly installed.
- Check the connections to the vehicle.
- Check the ignition switch position.
- If the diagnostic tool still does not communicate with the vehicle, refer to the diagnostic tool operating manual.
- Carry out the diagnostic tool data link test. If the diagnostic tool responds with:
- CAN circuit fault; all electronic control units no response/not equipped, refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK .
- No response/not equipped for the instrument cluster, GO to PINPOINT TEST A .
- No response/not equipped for the SJB, refer to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES .
- No response/not equipped for the PCM, refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK .
- No response/not equipped for the RCM, refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM .
- System passed, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the instrument cluster.
- If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX , SMART JUNCTION BOX (SJB) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX or POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX .
- If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to SYMPTOM CHART .

| B1342 | ECU is Faulted | Instrument Cluster | INSTALL a new instrument cluster. REFER to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER . TEST the system for normal operation. |
| B1360 | Ignition Run/Ace Circuit Open | Instrument Cluster | GO to PINPOINT TEST V . |
| B1868 | Lamp Air Bag Warning Indicator Circuit Failure | Instrument Cluster | GO to PINPOINT TEST Q . |
| B2141 | NVM Configuration Failure | Instrument Cluster | REFER to MODULE CONFIGURATION . |
| B2143 | NVM Memory Failure | Instrument Cluster | CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. If DTC B2143 is still present, INSTALL a new instrument cluster. REFER to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER . TEST the system for normal operation. |
| B2207 | ECU ROM Checksum Error | Instrument Cluster | CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. If DTC B2207 is still present, INSTALL a new instrument cluster. REFER to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER . TEST the system for normal operation. |
| B2390 | Master/Slave Communication Failure | Instrument Cluster | CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. If DTC B2390 is still present, INSTALL a new instrument cluster. REFER to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER . TEST the system for normal operation. |
| B2477 | Module Configuration Failure | Instrument Cluster | RECONFIGURE the instrument cluster. REFER to MODULE CONFIGURATION . |
| B2844 | Ignition Fault | Instrument Cluster | GO to PINPOINT TEST W . |
| U1900 | CAN Communication Bus Fault | Instrument Cluster | REPAIR all other DTCs first. CLEAR the DTCs. CYCLE the key OFF then ON and wait 10 seconds. REPEAT the self-test. If DTC U1900 is still present, REFER to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK . |
| 1901 | CAN Network #2 Communication Bus Fault-Receive Error | Instrument Cluster | REPAIR all other DTCs first. CLEAR the DTCs. CYCLE the key OFF then ON and wait 10 seconds. REPEAT the self-test. If DTC U1901 is still present, REFER to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK . |
| U2050 | No Application Present | Instrument Cluster | REFLASH the instrument cluster. If the DTC occurs after a software reflash, REFLASH the instrument cluster again. If the DTC reappears after each attempt to reflash, INSTALL a new instrument cluster. REFER to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER . TEST the system for normal operation. |
| U2051 | One or More Calibration Files Missing/Corrupt | Instrument Cluster | REFLASH the instrument cluster. If the DTC occurs after a software reflash, REFLASH the instrument cluster again. If the DTC reappears after each attempt to reflash, INSTALL a new instrument cluster. REFER to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER . TEST the system for normal operation. |
