Pinpoint Test B: DTCS B1317 & B1318: Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup, 2005 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2005 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2005 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Use the flex probe kit for all test connections to prevent damage to the wiring terminals. Do not use standard multimeter probes.
- B1 CHECK THE BATTERY VOLTAGE
- Measure the battery voltage between the positive and negative battery posts with the key ON engine OFF (KOEO), and with the engine running.
- Is the battery voltage between 10 and 13 volts with KOEO, and between 11 and 17 volts with the engine running?
- Yes : GO to B2.
- No : CHECK the charging system. REFER to CHARGING SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- B2 CHECK THE VOLTAGE TO THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ABS MODULE
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: ABS Module C135.
- Key in ON position.
- Measure the voltage between the ABS module C135 pin 2, circuit 534 (YE/LG), harness side and ground; and between the ABS module C135 pin 32, circuit 533 (TN/RD), harness side and ground.
- Are the voltages greater than 10 volts?
- Yes : GO to B3.
- No : REPAIR the circuit(s) in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- B3 CHECK THE ABS MODULE FOR A GROUND
- Key in OFF position.
- Measure the resistance between the ABS module C135 pin 16, circuit 530 (LG/YE), harness side and ground; and between the ABS module C135 pin 45, circuit 530 (LG/YE), harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : GO to B4.
- No : REPAIR the circuit(s) in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- B4 CHECK FOR CORRECT ABS MODULE OPERATION
- Disconnect the ABS connector.
- Check for:
- corrosion.
- pushed-out pins.
- Connect the ABS connector and make sure that it is seated correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
- Yes : INSTALL a new ABS module. REFER to ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ABS MODULE . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-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.
