WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln Mark LT and 2007 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Use the Flex Probe Kit for all test connections to prevent damage to the wiring terminals. Do not use standard multi-meter probes.
  1. F1 CHECK FOR MODULE DTCs 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Connect the diagnostic tool.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Retrieve and record any ABS, PCM, VSM, controller area network (CAN) bus or UBP network DTCs.
    • Are there any DTCs present? 
    1. YES  : For ABS module DTCs, REFER to VEHICLE DYNAMIC SYSTEMS article.

      For PCM DTCs, REFER to the INTRODUCTION - GASOLINE ENGINES article.

      For VSM DTCs, ANTI-THEFT article.

      For CAN bus and UBP network DTCs, REFER to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article.

    2. NO  : Go to  F2.
  2. F2 CHECK THE VEHICLE SPEED SIGNAL 
    • Drive the vehicle and observe the speedometer.
    • Is the speedometer working and displaying the correct speed? 
    1. YES  : Go to  F3.
    2. NO  : REFER to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER article to diagnose the instrument cluster.
  3. F3 CHECK THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SWITCH INPUT PID 
    • Key in ON position.
    • Using the scan tool, observe the ABS module brake pedal position switch input PID while pressing and releasing the brake pedal.
    • Does the PID match the brake pedal position? 
    1. YES  : Go to  F4.
    2. NO  : REFER to VEHICLE DYNAMIC SYSTEMS article to diagnose the ABS module and brake pedal position switch.
  4. F4 CHECK THE IGNITION SWITCH INPUT PID 
    • Key in ON position.
    • Using the scan tool, observe the VSM ignition switch input PID while turning the ignition switch from RUN to OFF and back to RUN again.
    • Does the PID match the ignition switch position? 
    1. YES  : Go to  F6.
    2. NO  : Go to  F5.
  5. F5 CHECK THE IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: VSM C3008b
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between VSM C3008b-16, circuit 7 (LG/YE), harness side and ground.
    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    1. YES  : Go to  F6.
    2. NO  : VERIFY that central junction box (CJB) fuse 18 (10A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR circuit 7 (LG/YE). TEST the system for normal operation.
  6. F6 CHECK THE VSM CONNECTORS 
    • Disconnect all the VSM connectors.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion.
      • pushed-out pins.
      • spread terminals.
    • Connect all the VSM connectors and make sure that they are seated correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    1. YES  : INSTALL a new VSM. REFER to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES article. TEST the system for normal operation.
    2. NO  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. TEST the system for normal operation.
