Inspection & Verification

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford RV Cutaway, 2002 Ford Econoline, 2002 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2002 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Verify customer's original problem by operating system in question. Inspect vehicle for any obvious electrical component wiring or connector damage. Inspect connectors for loose, damaged or corroded terminals. Inspect related fuses for system in question.
  2. Inspect DLC terminals for damage. See Fig 1. DLC is located below driver's side of instrument panel, to right of steering column.
  3. If problem is still present after performing inspection, connect New Generation Star (NGS) tester to DLC. Select vehicle to be tested from NGS tester menu. If NGS tester does not communicate with vehicle, ensure program card is properly installed. Check NGS tester cable connections and ensure ignition switch is in ON position. If NGS tester still does not communicate with vehicle, go to TEST H: NO MODULE/NETWORK COMMUNICATION  under SYSTEM TESTS. If NGS tester communicates with vehicle, perform data link diagnostic test procedure. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST .
