DTC Diagnostic Strategy
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2021 Lincoln Corsair, 2021 Lincoln Aviator, 2021 Ford Transit-350 HD, 2021 Ford Transit-350, and 2021 Ford Transit-250. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If the module DTC list results in a large number of DTCs, diagnose all module hard faults first (C102D, C1B00, C200B, C200C, C200D, U2011, and U3000) before diagnosing any network faults (lost communication or invalid data). If voltage concern DTCs are present, diagnose those after any module hard faults and before any network faults.
Diagnose all current and active DTCs before diagnosing any historic DTCs
