Inspection and Verification: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Lincoln Navigator and 2003 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system.
  2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of electrical damage.

    Visual Inspection 

    Electrical 

    • Central junction box (CJB) fuse 41 (20A)
    • Wiring harness
    • Connections
  3. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect the diagnostic tool to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from the diagnostic tool menu. If the diagnostic 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 diagnostic tool still does not communicate with the vehicle, go to PINPOINT TEST S: NO MODULE/NETWORK COMMUNICATION - NO POWER TO DIAGNOSTIC TOOL .

  4. Go to SYSTEM PRECHECK .
