PINPOINT TEST I: DTCs B11D9:16 AND B11D9:17

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Use the Flex Probe Kit for all test connections to prevent damage to the wiring terminals. Do not use standard multi-meter probes.

    • Is DTC B119D:16 or B119D:17 still present? 
    • Yes  : GO to I2.
    • No  : The system is operating normally at this time. The DTC may have been set previously during battery charging or while jump starting the vehicle.
  2. I2 CHECK FOR CHARGING SYSTEM DTCs IN THE PCM 
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: PCM Self-Test.
    • Retrieve and record all continuous memory DTCs from the PCM.
    • Are any charging system DTCs present in the PCM? 
    • Yes  : REFER to CHARGING SYSTEM to diagnose the charging system DTCs.
    • No  : GO to I3.
  3. I3 CHECK THE BATTERY CONDITION 
    • Yes  : If the battery passed the condition test but required a recharge, REFER to CHARGING SYSTEM to diagnose the charging system. CLEAR all DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation. If the battery passed the condition test and did not require a recharge, GO to I4.
    • No  : INSTALL a new battery. REFER to BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES . CLEAR all DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
  4. I4 CHECK THE BATTERY VOLTAGE 
    • Start the engine.
    • Measure the voltage of the battery with and without load on the charging system as follows:
      • Turn off all interior/exterior lights and accessories, run the engine at approximately 2, 000 RPM for 3 minutes while monitoring the battery voltage.
      • Turn on the headlamps and HVAC blower on high, run the engine at approximately 2, 000 RPM for 3 minutes while monitoring the battery voltage.

    • Are the voltages between 13 and 15.5 volts? 
    • Yes  : GO to I5.
    • No  : REFER to CHARGING SYSTEM to diagnose the charging system. CLEAR all DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
  5. I5 CHECK FOR RETURNING DTCs 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: SCCM Self-Test.
    • Clear the DTCs and repeat the self-test.
    • Is DTC B11D9:16 or B11D9:17 present? 
    • Yes  : For DTC B11D9:16, GO to I6. For DTC B11D9:17, INSTALL a new SCCM. REFER to STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE (SCCM) . TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No  : The system is operating normally at this time. The DTC may have been set previously during battery charging or while jump starting the vehicle. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
  6. I6 CHECK THE SCCM SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: SCCM C2414A.
    • Disconnect: SCCM C2414B.
    • Measure the voltage between ground and:
      • SCCM C2414A-10, circuit SBP26 (YE/RD), harness side.
      • SCCM C2414B-8, circuit SBP24 (VT/RD), harness side.

    • Are the voltages above 10 volts? 
    • Yes  : GO to  I8.
    • No  : VERIFY the BCM fuses 26 (5A) and 24 (15A) are OK. If OK, GO to I7. If not OK, REFER to the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS to identify the possible causes of the circuit short. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
  7. I7 CHECK THE SCCM SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    • Disconnect: BCM C2280A.
    • Disconnect: BCM C2280B.
    • Measure the resistance between BCM C2280A-11, circuit SBP24 (VT/RD), harness side and SCCM C2414B-6, circuit SBP24 (VT/RD), harness side; and between BCM C2280B-12, circuit SBP26 (YE/RD), harness side and SCCM C2414A-10, circuit SBP26 (YE/RD), harness side.
