PINPOINT TEST C: DTCs C1699, C1702, C1705 AND C1708 - PARKING AID SENSOR CIRCUIT SHORT TO VBAT
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford RV Cutaway, 2008 Ford Econoline, 2008 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2008 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
- C1 RETRIEVE THE DTCs FROM BOTH THE CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND PAM SELF-TESTS
- Check the recorded PAM DTCs from the continuous and on-demand self-tests.
- Are multiple DTCs recorded?
- YES : Go to C2.
- NO
: For DTCs, C1699, C1702, C1705 or C1708, go to C3.
For all others, REFER to DTC Charts .
- C2 CHECK THE BUMPER WIRING HARNESS
- Inspect the bumper wiring harness for opens, shorts, grounds, or corrosion.
- Is the bumper wiring harness OK?
- YES : Go to C3.
- NO : REPAIR or INSTALL a new bumper wiring harness. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- C3 CHECK THE SENSOR CIRCUITS FOR SHORTS TO VOLTAGE
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Suspect Parking Aid Sensor C4009, C4010, C4011 or C4012
- Disconnect: PAM C2023
- Key in ON position.
- Measure the voltage between the suspect parking aid sensor pin 2, harness side and ground as follows:REAR SENSORS
DTC Sensor Sensor Connector- Pin Circuit C1699 LH outer C4009-2 1441 (WH/LG) C1702 RH outer C4011-2 1444 (DB/YE) C1705 LH inner C4010-2 1442 (DG/WH) C1708 RH inner C4012-2 1443 (WH/LB) - Is any voltage present?
- YES : REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- NO : Go to C4.
- C4 CHECK THE PARKING AID SENSORS
- Install a known good parking aid sensor(s) for each of the suspect parking aid sensor(s).
- Clear all the DTCs. Repeat the self-test.
- Test the system for normal operation.
- Is the concern still present?
- YES
: If all 4 of the parking aid sensors recorded DTCs prior, go to C5.
If one or more parking aid sensor(s) recorded DTCs, INSTALL a new sensor(s) for the one in question. REFER to Parking Aid Sensor . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- C5 CHECK FOR CORRECT PAM OPERATION
- Disconnect the PAM connector.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect the PAM connector and make sure it seats correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
- YES : INSTALL a new PAM. REFER to Parking Aid Module . TEST the system for normal operation.
- NO : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
