Inspection and Verification
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Milan, 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, and 2006 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Verify the customer concern.
- Verify the stoplamps operate correctly by pressing and releasing the brake pedal with the ignition switch in the ON position. If the stoplamps do not operate correctly, refer to EXTERIOR LIGHTING . If the stoplamps operate correctly, proceed to the next step.
- Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.VISUAL INSPECTION CHART
Mechanical Electrical - Incorrectly inflated tires
- Mismatched wheels or tires on vehicle
- Base brake system
- Wheel speed sensor
- Wheel speed sensor tone ring
- Hydraulic control unit (HCU)
- Battery junction box (BJB) fuse(s):
- 10 (20A)
- 36 (40A)
- 44 (15A)
- Smart junction box (SJB) fuse:
- 28 (10A)
- Circuitry
- Stoplamp switch
- Traction control switch
- Wheel speed sensors
- Anti-lock brake system (ABS) module
- If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC) and select the vehicle to be tested from the scan tool menu. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
- Check that the program card is correctly installed.
- Check the connections to the vehicle.
- Check the ignition switch position.
- If the scan tool still does not communicate with the vehicle, refer to the scan tool operating manual.
- Carry out the scan tool data link test. If the scan tool responds with:
- CAN or ISO circuit fault; all electronic control units no response/not equipped, refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK .
- No response/not equipped for the ABS module, GO to PINPOINT TEST A .
- System passed, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs, and carry out self-test diagnostics for the ABS module.
- If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) MODULE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX .
- If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to SYMPTOM CHART .
