      Observe the test lamp while pressing the liftgate glass release switch.

    Does the test lamp momentarily illuminate? 

    Yes  GO to  AH10.
    No  GO to  AH11.

  10. AH10 CHECK THE LIFTGATE LATCH GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

    NOTE: The following step uses a test lamp to simulate normal circuit loads. Use only a Rotunda Test Lamp (SGT27000) or 250- 300mA incandescent bulb test lamp. To avoid connector terminal damage, use the Rotunda Flex Probe kit for the test lamp probe connection to the vehicle. Do not use the test lamp probe directly on any connector.

    • Connect:
      Lead 1 Measurement / Action Lead 2
      C4040-4
      GFD134887Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY

    • NOTE: The BCM only supplies voltage to the actuator momentarily. It is important to monitor the test lamp while pressing the liftgate glass release switch.

      Observe the test lamp while pressing the liftgate glass release switch.

    Does the test lamp momentarily illuminate? 

    Yes  INSTALL a new liftgate glass latch. REFER to Liftgate Latch - Window .
    No  REPAIR the circuit.

  11. AH11 CHECK THE BCM LIFTGATE GLASS RELEASE OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C4040-4
      GFD134423Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      		 C2280D-28

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?

    No  REPAIR the circuit.

  12. AH12 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM OPERATION

    • Disconnect and inspect all the BCM 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 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 On-Line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) for any applicable TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, 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.
