WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln Mark LT and 2007 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- H1 CHECK IC DTCs
- Refer to the IC self-test DTCs retrieved during the inspection and verification.
- Are any DTCs present?
- YES : For B1345, go to H5.
- For all other DTCs, REFER to the Master DTC Chart in MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES article.
- NO : Go to H2.
- H2 CHECK CIRCUIT 186 (BN/LB) FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Disconnect: Heated Rear Window Relay
- Key in ON position.
- Is the rear window defrost ON?
- YES : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- NO : Go to H3.
- H3 CHECK THE HEATED REAR WINDOW RELAY
- Key in OFF position.
- Measure the resistance between heated rear window relay socket pin 85, circuit 1009 (OG/YE) harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
- YES : INSTALL a new heated rear window relay. TEST the system for normal operation.
- NO : Go to H4.
- H4 CHECK THE IC - CIRCUIT 1009 (OG/YE)
- Disconnect: IC C220b
- Measure the resistance between heated rear window relay socket pin 85, circuit 1009 (OG/YE) harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
- YES : INSTALL a new IC. REFER to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER article. TEST the system for normal operation.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- H5 CHECK THE IC - CIRCUIT 1010 (DB/OG)
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: IC C220a
- Measure the resistance between IC C220a-8, circuit 1010 (DB/OG) harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
- YES : INSTALL a new IC. REFER to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER article. TEST the system for normal operation.
- NO : Go to H6.
- H6 CHECK THE IC - CIRCUIT 1010 (DB/OG)
- Disconnect: HVAC Module - Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC) C228a or HVAC Module - Electronic Manual Temperature Control (EMTC) C294a
- Measure the resistance between IC C220a-8, circuit 1010 (DB/OG) harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
- YES : INSTALL a new HVAC module - EATC or HVAC module - EMTC. REFER to CLIMATE CONTROL article. TEST the system for normal operation.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
