Pinpoint Test B: No Power In Acc

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.
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 CIRCUIT CDC33 (VT/GN) FOR VOLTAGE 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Smart Junction Box (SJB) C2280b.
    • Key in ACCESSORY position.
    • Measure the voltage between SJB C2280b-4, circuit CDC33 (VT/GN), harness side and ground.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 

    Yes  : GO to  B3.

    No  : GO to B2.

  2. B2 CHECK CIRCUIT CDC33 (VT/GN) FOR AN OPEN OR SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Ignition Switch C250.
    • Measure the resistance between:
      • Ignition switch C250-6, circuit CDC33 (VT/GN), harness side and SJB C2280b-4, circuit CDC33 (VT/GN), harness side.
      • Ignition switch C250-6, circuit CDC33 (VT/GN), harness side and ground.

    • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms between the components and greater than 10,000 ohms to ground? 

    Yes  : GO to  B4.

    No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.

  3. B3 CHECK THE IGNITION SWITCH 
    • Carry out the Ignition Switch Component Test. Refer to IGNITION SWITCH for component testing.
    • Is the ignition switch OK? 

    Yes  : GO to B4.

    No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.

  4. B4 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB OPERATION 
    • Disconnect all the SJB connectors.
    • Check for:
      • Corrosion.
      • 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 CONTROL MODULES .

    No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. TEST the system for normal operation.
