WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Lincoln Navigator and 2017 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Refer to Vehicle Dynamic Suspension , for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The VDM requires an operating voltage that is between 9 and 16 volts. The VDM receives this voltage from the BCM and has a single ground circuit. Excessive resistance or an open in one or more of these circuits, a discharged battery or a inoperative charging system results in the VDM setting a DTC.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| U3003:16 | Battery Voltage: Circuit Voltage Below Threshold | This DTC sets in continuous memory and on-demand if the voltage supplied to the VDM falls below 9 volts for more than 5 seconds. This is can be due to excessive resistance or an open in one or more of the voltage or ground circuits, a discharged battery or an inoperative charging system. |

Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks
- Make sure the vehicle battery terminals and cables are free of any corrosion and other contaminants.
- Make sure the vehicle battery terminals are tightened to their correct torque specifications.
- Make sure BCM fuse 33 (10A) is OK.
