Pinpoint Test D: DTC B11D6:11 Or DTC B11D6:15
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Milan, 2010 Lincoln MKZ, and 2010 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
NOTE:
Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed will result in false resistance readings. Refer to BATTERY DISCONNECT
.
- D1 CHECK THE DTCs FROM BOTH THE CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND SOD-L AND SOD-R SELF-TESTS
- Check the SOD-L and SOD-R DTCs from the continuous and on-demand self-tests.
- Are any SOD-L or SOD-R DTCs recorded?
- Yes:
For DTC B11D6:11, GO to D2.
For DTC B11D6:15, GO to D4.
For all other DTCs, REFER to DTC TABLES .
- No:
For the LEDs constantly on with no DTCs, GO to D4.
Otherwise, Go To PINPOINT TEST I .
- D2 CHECK THE EXTERIOR MIRROR BLIS™/CTA LED SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: SOD-L C4230 or SOD-R C4229.
- For the SOD-L , measure the resistance between the SOD-L C4230-6, circuit CRB04 (YE/GN), harness side and ground.
- For the SOD-R , measure the resistance between the SOD-R C4229-6, circuit CRB02 (BU./BAN), harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?

- Yes: GO to D3.
- No: REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
- D3 CHECK THE EXTERIOR MIRROR BLIS™/CTA LED SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND WITH THE LED DISCONNECTED
- Disconnect: Left Exterior Mirror BLIS™ /CTA LED Connector Or Right Exterior Mirror BLIS™ /CTA LED Connector.
- For the SOD-L , measure the resistance between the SOD-L C4230-6, circuit CRB04 (YE/GN), harness side and ground.
- For the SOD-R , measure the resistance between the SOD-R C4229-6, circuit CRB02 (BU./BAN), harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
Courtesy of FORD MOTOR CO.
- Yes: INSTALL a new exterior mirror for the indicator in question. REFER to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- No: REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
- D4 CHECK THE EXTERIOR MIRROR BLIS™/CTA LED SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: SOD-L C4230 or SOD-R C4229.
- Ignition ON.
- For the SOD-L , measure the voltage between the SOD-L C4230-6, circuit CRB04 (YE/GN), harness side and ground.
- For the SOD-R , measure the voltage between the SOD-R C4229-6, circuit CRB02 (BU./BAN), harness side and ground.
- Is any voltage present?
Courtesy of FORD MOTOR CO.
- Yes: REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No: GO to D5.
- D5 CHECK THE EXTERIOR MIRROR BLIS™/CTA LED SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Exterior Mirror Indicator Left Or Exterior Mirror Indicator Right.
- For the SOD-L , measure the resistance between the SOD-L C4230-6, circuit CRB04 (YE/GN), harness side and the left exterior mirror BLIS™ /CTA LED pin 1, harness side.
- For the SOD-R , measure the resistance between the SOD-R C4229-6, circuit CRB02 (BU./BAN), harness side and the right exterior mirror BLIS™ /CTA LED pin 1, harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes: GO to D6.
- No: REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
- D6 CHECK THE EXTERIOR MIRROR BLIS™/CTA LED GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: Negative Battery Cable.
- For the SOD-L , measure the resistance between the left exterior mirror BLIS™ /CTA LED pin 2, harness side and ground.
- For the SOD-R , measure the resistance between the right exterior mirror BLIS™ /CTA LED pin 2, harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- D7 CHECK FOR CORRECT SOD-L OPERATION
- Disconnect the SOD-L connector.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect the SOD-L connector and make sure it seats correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
- Yes: INSTALL a new SOD-L . REFER to Removal and Installation . 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.
- D8 CHECK FOR CORRECT SOD-R OPERATION
- Disconnect the SOD-R connector.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect the SOD-R connector and make sure it seats correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
- Yes: INSTALL a new SOD-R . REFER to Removal and Installation . 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.
