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 correct probe adapter(s) from the Flex Probe Kit when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
- B1 CHECK THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH PIDs
- Ignition ON.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: DataLogger - SCCM.
- Make sure the multifunction switch is in the OFF position.
- Verify the status of each of the following SCCM PIDs is displayed as OFF:
- F_WIP_INT_D1
- F_WIP_INT_D2
- F_WIP_INT_D3
- F_WIP_INT_D4
- F_WIP_INT_D5
- F_WIP_SLO_SW
- F_WIPE_FAST_SW
- F_WASH_SW
- WIPE_SINGLE
- Are all of the PIDs displayed as OFF?
- Yes : GO to B2.
- No : INSTALL a new multifunction switch. REFER to STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES . TEST the system for normal operation. If the concern is still present, INSTALL a new SCCM. REFER to STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES . TEST the system for normal operation.
