If no, service the DLC connector terminal No. 7 or connection. Restore connections. Run the Data Link Diagnostic Test. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
  2. Disconnect lighting control module connector C1. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance of the Light Blue/White wire between DLC terminal No. 7 and lighting control module connector Terminal No. 8. Is resistance 5 ohms or less? If yes, go to next step. If no, service the Light Blue/White wire for open. Restore connections. Run the Data Link Diagnostic Test. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
  3. Measure the voltage between DLC connector terminal No. 7 and terminal No. 16. Is the voltage 0 volts? If yes, go to step  5 . If no, go to next step.
  4. Measure the voltage between DLC connector terminal No. 7 and terminal No. 5. Is the voltage 0 volts? If yes, go to next step. If no, check the NGS tester for proper operation. See NEW GENERATION STAR (NGS) TESTER USAGE  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
  5. Disconnect harness connector C1. Run the Data Link Diagnostic Test. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Is the fault code 000E? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to step  7 .
  6. Make sure the evac and fill cap is plugged in. Connect harness connector C1. Disconnect anti-lock brake module from harness. Run Data Link Diagnostic Test. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Is the fault code 000E retrieved? If yes, replace the anti-lock module. 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 BRAKES. 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 between harness connector C1 and harness connector C4 or between harness connector C1 and anti-lock brake control connector. Restore connections and run the Data Link Diagnostic Test. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
  7. Perform Air Bag Deactivation procedure. 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 001C retrieved? If yes, replace the integrated air bag monitor. (DDM & DSM Not Equipped.) See 1996 ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT FORD MOTOR CO-AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. Restore connections. Perform air bag reactivation procedure and run the Data Link Diagnostic Test. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If no, go to next step.
  8. Connect the integrated air bag monitor black connector. Perform air bag deactivation procedure. Disconnect lighting control module connector A. Run the Data Link Diagnostic Test. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Is the code fault 000D 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.
