WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Instrument Cluster (IC) receives both RUN/START and keep alive (B+) voltage inputs from the Smart Junction Box (SJB). The IC is grounded through 2 hardwired ground circuits. The IC sets DTC U2472 in continuous memory and on-demand if the RUN/START input circuit is open or if the SJB fuse 29 (5A) has failed.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Fuse(s)
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- IC
