Pinpoint Test C: TCS Does Not Operate Correctly
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.
- C1 TEST THE IC
- Connect the scan tool.
- Using the scan tool, monitor the TCS_DEPRES PID while cycling the TCS .
- Does the TCS_DEPRES PID cycle from yes to no?
- Yes: REFER to INSTRUMENTATION, MESSAGE CENTER, AND WARNING CHIMES .
- No: GO to C2 .
- C2 CHECK BJB FUSE 27 (10A)
- Ignition OFF.
- Check fuse: Battery Junction Box (BJB) 27 (10A).
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes: GO to C3 .
- No: GO to C4.
- C3 TEST THE TCS POWER CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: Selector Lever Harness C2096.
- Disconnect: BJB Fuse 27 (10A).
- Measure the resistance between selector lever harness C2096-6, circuit CBP30 (YE/BU) and the output side of BJB fuse 27 (10A).
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes: GO to C5.
- No: REPAIR circuit CBP30 (YE/BU). RECONNECT all components. TEST the system for normal operation.
- C4 TEST THE TCSPOWER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Disconnect: Selector Lever Harness C2096.
- Disconnect: BJB Fuse 27 (10A).
- Measure the resistance between selector lever harness C2096-6, circuit CBP30 (YE/BU) and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
- Yes: GO to C6.
- No: REPAIR circuit CBP30 (YE/BU). RECONNECT all components. TEST the system for normal operation.
- C5 TEST THE TCS SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: PCM Transaxle C175T.
- Measure the resistance between selector lever harness C2096-5, circuit CET34 (BN/GN) and PCM C175T-31, circuit CET34 (BN/GN).
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes: GO to C7.
- No: REPAIR circuit CET34 (BN/GN). RECONNECT all components. TEST the system for normal operation.
- C6 TEST THE TCS SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure the resistance between selector lever harness C2096-5, circuit CET 34 (BN/GN) and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
- Yes: GO to C7 .
- No: REPAIR circuit CET34 (BN/GN). TEST the system for normal operation.
- C7 TEST THE TCS
- Measure the resistance between selector lever C2096-5 and C2096-6 component side, while cycling the TCS .
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms when pressed and greater than 10,000 ohms when released?
- Yes: INSTALL a new PCM. REFER to POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) or POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) . TEST the system for normal operation.
- No: INSPECT the selector lever wiring harness for damage and repair as necessary. If the selector lever wiring harness is not damaged, INSTALL a new selector lever knob. REFER to SELECTOR LEVER . TEST the system for normal operation.
