WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- C1 CHECK FOR BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the BCM self-test.
Is DTC B1D35:11 present?
Yes GO to C2 No GO to C4 - C2 ISOLATE THE HAZARD FLASHER SWITCH
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Hazard Flasher Switch C2480 .
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and repeat the BCM self-test.
Is DTC B1D35:11 retrieved again?
Yes GO to C3 No INSTALL a new hazard flasher switch. REFER to: Hazard Flasher Switch . - C3 CHECK THE HAZARD FLASHER SWITCH INPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: BCM C2280B .
Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?
Yes GO to C7 No REPAIR the circuit. - C4 CHECK FOR A VOLTAGE SIGNAL TO THE HAZARD FLASHER SWITCH
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Hazard Flasher Switch C2480 .
- Ignition ON.
Is the voltage greater than 11 volts?
Yes GO to C5 No GO to C6 - C5 CHECK THE HAZARD FLASHER SWITCH GROUND CIRCUIT
Is the voltage greater than 11 volts?
Yes INSTALL a new hazard flasher switch. REFER to: Hazard Flasher Switch . No REPAIR the circuit. - C6 CHECK THE HAZARD FLASHER SWITCH INPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: BCM C2280B .
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C4280-4 C2280B-19
Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
Yes GO to C7 No REPAIR the circuit. - C7 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION
- Disconnect and inspect all BCM and all related in-line connectors.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- Reconnect the BCM and all related in-line connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, Refer to BCM Hardware Testing . No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
