See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Is the fault code 0002 retrieved? If yes, replace the anti-lock module. Restore connections and run Data Link Diagnostic Test. If no, service the Light Blue/White wire between harness connector C1 and evac and fill connector. Restore connections and run Data Link Diagnostic Test. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
  7. Disconnect harness connector C3. Run the Data Link Diagnostic Test. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Is the fault code 000C retrieved? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to step  10 .
  8. Connect harness connector C3 and disconnect driver door module. Run the Data Link Diagnostic Test. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Is the fault code 0008 retrieved? If yes, replace driver door module. Restore connections and run Data Link Diagnostic Test. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If no, go to next step.
  9. Connect harness connector C3 and disconnect driver seat module connector C2. Run the Data Link Diagnostic Test. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Is the fault code 0004 retrieved? If yes, replace driver seat module. See 1996 ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT FORD MOTOR CO.-POWER SEATS (TOWN CAR) or 1996 ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT FORD MOTOR CO.-POWER SEATS (CROWN VICTORIA & GRAND MARQUIS) articles in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. Restore connections and run Data Link Diagnostic Test. If no, service the Light Blue/White wire between driver door module connector C2 and harness connector C3 or between driver seat module connector C2 and C3. Restore connections and run the Data Link Diagnostic Test. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
  10. Deactivate air bag system. See 1996 ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT FORD MOTOR CO-AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM . Disconnect integrated air bag module C2 black connector. Run the Data Link Diagnostic Test. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Is the fault code 0010 retrieved? If yes, replace the integrated air bag monitor. See 1996-97 BRAKES FORD MOTOR CO. - ANTI-LOCK (CROWN VICTORIA & GRAND MARQUIS) or 1996-97 BRAKES FORD MOTOR CO. - ANTI-LOCK (TOWN CAR) articles in CHASSIS SERVICE & REPAIR. Reactivate the air bag system. Restore connections and run the Data Link Diagnostic Test. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If no, go to next step.
  11. Connect the IABM black connector. Reactivate air bag system. Disconnect lighting control module connector C1. Run the Data Link Diagnostic Test. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Is the code fault 0001 retrieved? If yes, replace lighting control module. Restore connections and run the Data Link Diagnostic Test. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If no, service the Light Blue/White wire for short between DLC harness connector C1, harness connector C3, lighting control module or integrated air bag monitor. Restore connections and run the Data Link Diagnostic Test. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
