Pinpoint Test H: DTC C1770 - Air Suspension Vent Solenoid Output Circuit Failure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
The Flex Probe Kit must be used for all test connections. Use of standard multimeter probes may damage wiring terminals.
- H1 CHECK CIRCUIT 421 (PK) FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Air Suspension Module C2131a.
- Disconnect: Air Compressor C1179.
- Key in ON position.
- Measure the voltage between air suspension module C2131a-24, circuit 421 (PK), harness side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 0 volt?
Yes : REPAIR circuit 421 (PK) for a short to voltage. CLEAR the DTC. REPEAT the self-test.
No : GO to H2.
- H2 CHECK CIRCUIT 421 (PK) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Key in OFF position.
- Measure the resistance between air suspension module C2131a-24, circuit 421 (PK), harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
Yes : GO to H3.
No : REPAIR circuit 421 (PK) for a short to ground. CLEAR the DTC. REPEAT the self-test.
- H3 CHECK CIRCUIT 421 (PK) FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between air suspension module C2131a-24, circuit 421 (PK), harness side and air compressor C1179-4, circuit 421 (PK), harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes : GO to H4.
No : REPAIR circuit 421 (PK) for an open. CLEAR the DTC. REPEAT the self-test.
- H4 CHECK CIRCUIT 57 (BK) FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between air compressor C1179-3, circuit 57 (BK), harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 5 ohms?
Yes : REPAIR circuit 57 (BK) for an open. CLEAR the DTC. REPEAT the self-test.
No : GO to H5.
- H5 CHECK THE AIR COMPRESSOR VENT SOLENOID
- Measure the resistance between air compressor C1179-2, component side and C1179-3, component side.
- Is the resistance between 15 and 25 ohms?
Yes : INSTALL a new air suspension module. REFER to AIR SUSPENSION MODULE . CLEAR the DTC(s). REPEAT the self-test.
No : INSTALL a new air compressor. REFER to AIR SUSPENSION COMPRESSOR . CLEAR the DTC. REPEAT the self-test.
