Pinpoint Test J: The Keyless Entry Keypad Illumination Is Inoperative
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Use the correct probe adaptor(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adaptor(s) may damage the connector.
- J1 CHECK FOR CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND DTCs
- Key in ON position.
- Retrieve continuous and on-demand DTCs with the scan tool.
- Is DTC B1626 retrieved?
- J2 CHECK FOR CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND DTCs
- Disconnect: Keyless Entry Keypad C500
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: SJB DTCs
- Repeat the continuous and on-demand self-test with the scan tool.
- Is DTC B1626 still present?
- YES : Go to J3.
- NO : INSTALL a new keyless entry keypad. REFER to Keyless Entry Keypad . TEST the system for normal operation.
- J3 CHECK CIRCUIT 66 (LB) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Disconnect: SJB C2280d
- Measure the resistance between the SJB C2280d-23, circuit 66 (LB), harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000?
- YES : Go to J8.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. RUN the on-demand self-test (required to clear the DTCs). CORRECT any unresolved DTCs. CLEAR all the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
- J4 CHECK THE SJB KEYPAD SWITCH PIDs
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: SJB Keypad PIDs
- Press each keypad button while viewing SJB keypad PIDs.
- Do the PID values agree with the keypad button positions?
- YES : Go to J5.
- NO : Go to Pinpoint Test I .
- J5 CHECK CIRCUIT 570 (BK/WH) FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: Keyless Entry Keypad C500
- Measure the resistance between the keyless entry keypad C500-5, circuit 570 (BK/WH), harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- YES : Go to J6.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- J6 CHECK THE SJB OUTPUT FUNCTION
- While measuring the voltage between the keyless entry keypad C500-2, circuit 66 (LB), harness side and ground, connect a fused (5A) jumper wire between the keyless entry keypad C500-1, circuit 78 (LB/YE), harness side and the keyless entry keypad C500-6, circuit 570 (BK/WH), harness side.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts when the jumper wire is connected?
- YES : INSTALL a new keyless entry keypad. REFER to Keyless Entry Keypad . TEST the system for normal operation.
- NO : REMOVE the jumper wire. Go to J7.
- J7 CHECK CIRCUIT 66 (LB) FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: SJB C2280d
- Measure the resistance between the SJB C2280d-23, circuit 66 (LB), harness side and the keyless entry keypad C500-2, circuit 66 (LB), harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- YES : Go to J8.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- J8 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB OPERATION
- Disconnect all the SJB connectors.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect all the SJB connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
- YES : INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES article. TEST the system for normal operation.
- NO : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. RUN the on-demand self-test (required to clear the DTCs). CORRECT any unresolved DTCs. CLEAR all the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
