PINPOINT TEST F: DTCs C1288, C1730 OR C2778
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.
NOTE:
Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
- F1 CHECK FOR ABS MODULE ON-DEMAND DTCs
- Ignition ON.
- Using the scan tool, clear the DTCs.
- Ignition OFF.
- Ignition ON.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self Test - ABS Module.
- Retrieve and record the DTCs.
- Did DTCs C1288, C1730 or C2778 return?
- Yes : GO to F2.
- No : If other DTCs are retrieved, REFER to the ABS Module DTC Chart - Three-Channel . If no DTCs are retrieved, the concern may have been caused by a loose connection. TEST the system for normal operation.
- F2 CHECK THE ABS MODULE OUTPUT TO THE BRAKE PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Brake Pressure Transducer C1025.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure the voltage between brake pressure transducer C1025-3, circuit LCA16 (GN), harness side and brake pressure transducer C1025-1, circuit RCA16 (BU/BN) harness side.
- Is the voltage between 4.75 and 5.25 volts?
- Yes : The concern may have been caused by a loose connection. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No
: If the voltage is greater than 5.25 volts, GO to F3.
If the voltage is less than 4.75 volts, GO to F4.
- F3 CHECK THE BRAKE PRESSURE TRANSDUCER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- F4 CHECK THE BRAKE PRESSURE TRANSDUCER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: ABS Module C135.
- Measure the resistance between ABS module C135-29, circuit LCA16 (GN), harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
- Yes : GO to F5.
- No : REPAIR circuit LCA16 (GN). CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- F5 CHECK THE BRAKE PRESSURE TRANSDUCER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between ABS module C135-29, circuit LCA16 (GN), harness side and brake pressure transducer C1025-3, circuit LCA16 (GN), harness side.
- Is the resistances less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : GO to F6.
- No : REPAIR circuit LCA16 (GN) for an open circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- F6 CHECK THE BRAKE PRESSURE TRANSDUCER SENSE CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Trailer Brake Control (TBC) Module C1025.
- Measure the resistance between TBC module C135-33, circuit VCA13 (YE/BU), harness side and brake pressure transducer C151-2, circuit VCA13 (YE/BU), harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : GO to F7.
- No : REPAIR circuit VCA13 (YE/BU). CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- F7 CHECK THE BRAKE PRESSURE TRANSDUCER FOR A SHORT
- Measure the resistance between brake pressure transducer C1025, pin 1, component side and brake pressure transducer C1025, pin 3, component side while firmly pressing and holding the brake pedal.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : INSTALL a new pressure transducer. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- No : GO to F8.
- F8 CHECK FOR CORRECT ABS MODULE OPERATION
- Disconnect: ABS Module C135.
- Check the ABS module connector for:
- corrosion
- pushed-out pins
- spread terminals
- Connect the ABS module connector and make sure that it is seated correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
- Yes : INSTALL a new ABS module. REFER to Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Module . 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. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
