WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- A1 CHECK DTCs
- Ignition ON.
- Connect the scan tool.
- Is DTC B2575 set?
- Yes : GO to A2 .
- No : The issue may not be in the Brake Shift Interlock Actuator (BSIA) electrical system. GO to SYMPTOM TABLE - EXTERNAL CONTROLS in this service information.
- A2 CHECK FUSE 5 (10A)
- Ignition OFF.
- Remove Smart Junction Box (SJB) fuse 5 (10A).
- Check fuse: SJB 5 (10A).
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : GO to A3 .
- No : GO to A4.
- A3 CHECK THE POWER CIRCUIT FOR VOLTAGE
- Disconnect: Selector Lever C3233.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure the voltage between selector lever harness C3233-1, circuit CET53 (BU/OG), vehicle harness side and ground, while applying the brake pedal.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- Yes : GO to A6.
- No : GO to A5 .
- A4 CHECK THE POWER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: SJB C2280C.
- Measure the resistance between selector lever harness C3233-1, circuit CET53 (BU/OG), vehicle harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
- Yes : GO to A5 .
- No : REPAIR circuit CET53 (BU/OG) for a short to ground. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
- A5 CHECK THE POWER CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Ignition OFF.
- Measure the resistance between the selector lever harness C3233-1, circuit CET53 (BU/OG), vehicle harness side and SJB C2280C-23, circuit CET53 (BU/OG), vehicle harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : INSTALL a new SJB. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : REPAIR circuit CET53 (BU/OG) for an open. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
- A6 CHECK THE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Ignition OFF.
- Measure the resistance between selector lever harness C3233-5, circuit GD116 (BK/VT), vehicle harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : INSTALL a new selector lever. REFER to SELECTOR LEVER - FUSION/MILAN or SELECTOR LEVER - MKZ in this service information.
- No : REPAIR circuit GD116 (BK/VT) for an open. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
