Pinpoint Test B: DTC P1703 - Brake On/Off Circuit Failure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Sable, 2008 Ford Taurus X, and 2008 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
  1. B1 CHECK THE STOPLAMPS 
    • Verify the stoplamps operate correctly.
    • Do the stoplamps operate correctly? 
    1. YES  : Go to  B2.
    2. NO  : REFER to EXTERIOR LIGHTING article.
  2. B2 CHECK THE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATOR SWITCH FOR CORRECT OPERATION 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: PCM C175b
    • Key in ON position.
    • While firmly applying and releasing the brake pedal, measure the voltage between the PCM C175b-47, circuit CES09 (VT/OG), harness side and ground.
      • Fig 1: Checking Circuit For Voltage

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts with the brake pedal released and 0 volts with the brake pedal firmly applied? 
    1. YES  : Go to  B6.
    2. NO  : Go to  B3.
  3. B3 CHECK CIRCUIT CBB45 (YE) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Speed Control Deactivator Switch C277
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between the speed control deactivator switch C277-2, circuit CBB45 (YE), harness side and ground.
      • Fig 2: Checking Circuit For Voltage
      GF0004251Courtesy of FORD MOTOR CO.
    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    1. YES  : Go to  B4.
    2. NO  : VERIFY the smart junction box (SJB) fuse 45 (10A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  4. B4 CHECK CIRCUIT CES09 (VT/OG) FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between the speed control deactivator switch C277-1, circuit CES09 (VT/OG), harness side and ground.
      • Fig 3: Checking Circuit For Voltage
      GF0004252Courtesy of FORD MOTOR CO.
    • Is any voltage present? 
    1. YES  : REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
    2. NO  : Go to  B5.
  5. B5 CHECK CIRCUIT CES09 (VT/OG) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Measure the resistance between the speed control deactivator switch C277-1, circuit CES09 (VT/OG), harness side and the PCM C175b-47, circuit CES09 (VT/OG), harness side.
      • Fig 4: Measuring Resistance
      GF0045908Courtesy of FORD MOTOR CO.
    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    1. YES  : INSTALL a new speed control deactivator switch. REFER to Speed Control Deactivator Switch . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
    2. NO  : REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  6. B6 CHECK FOR CORRECT PCM OPERATION 
    • Disconnect all the PCM connectors.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • damaged pins
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect all the PCM connectors and make sure they are seated correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    1. YES  : INSTALL a new PCM. REFER to ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS article. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
    2. 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.
