WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup, 2012 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2012 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2012 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Body Control Module (BCM) controls the output of several vehicle systems by means of solid state drivers. When an overload occurs on any of these drivers, a DTC sets. The module also tracks the number of repetitive faults on each of these circuits. The module compares this number of overloads to 3 progressive thresholds established for each circuit.

At the each threshold, DTC U1000:00 sets along with the DTC associated with the affected circuit.

DTC U1000: 00 (Solid State Driver Protection Activated - Driver Disabled: No Sub Type Information) - sets when the BCM has disabled a circuit due to a repetitive circuit overload and a progressive threshold is met.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

Output circuit short
