DTC P1106: Lower Generator Fault Detected

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2003 Ford RV Cutaway, 2003 Ford Econoline, 2003 Ford E550 Super Duty, 2003 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2003 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect lower generator 3-pin harness connector. Disconnect generator 4-pin in-line harness connector C1019. In-line harness connector C1019 is located in left rear corner of engine compartment, above brake master cylinder. See Figure. Inspect connectors for damage or loose connections. If connectors are okay, restore connections and go to next step. If connectors are not okay, repair as necessary.
  2. Measure voltage between ground and lower generator terminal B+ (Black/Orange wire). If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is not present, repair circuit or fusible links between battery and upper generator. See WIRING DIAGRAMS .
  3. Disconnect lower generator 3-pin harness connector. Measure voltage between ground and lower generator harness connector terminal "A" (Orange/Light Blue wire). See Figure. If voltage is 10 volts or more, go to next step. If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open in circuit or fusible links between battery and lower generator. See WIRING DIAGRAMS .
  4. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Measure voltage between ground and lower generator harness connector terminal "I" (Yellow wire). See Figure. If voltage is less than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is 10 volts or more, go to step  6.
  5. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect PCM 104-pin harness connector. Measure resistance in Yellow wire between lower generator harness connector terminal "I" and PCM harness connector terminal No. 60. See Figure and Figure . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to step  8. If resistance is 5 ohms or greater, repair open in Yellow wire between lower generator and PCM. See WIRING DIAGRAMS .
  6. Connect lower generator harness connector. Connect PCM harness connector. Disconnect upper generator 3-pin harness connector. Start engine and let idle. Wait 2 minutes (until glow plugs turn off). Measure voltage between primary battery terminals. If voltage is 13 volts or more, go to next step. If voltage is less than 13 volts, replace lower generator. See LOWER GENERATOR  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
  7. Perform load and no-load tests on lower generator. See GENERATOR LOAD TEST  and GENERATOR NO-LOAD TEST  under ON-VEHICLE TESTING. If generator does not test okay, replace lower generator. See LOWER GENERATOR  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If generator tests okay, system is operating properly at this time.
  8. Inspect PCM harness connector for corrosion and pushed out pins. Connect PCM harness connector, ensuring it is connected properly. Connect all disconnected connectors. Operate system. If fault is still present, replace PCM. See appropriate REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. If fault is not present, system is operating properly at this time.
