Pinpoint Test N : U3003:16

  1. N1 CARRY OUT THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) SELF-TEST

    NOTE: DTC U3003:16 will not clear unless the battery voltage is greater than 13V for 2 minutes.

    • Ignition ON.
    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Wait 10 seconds.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the BCM self-test.

    Is DTC U3003:16 still present? 

    Yes  GO to  N2
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to a previous low battery voltage condition.

  2. N2 CHECK FOR CHARGING SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, retrieve all Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs).

    Are any charging system Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded? 

    Yes  REFER to: Charging System - 1.0L EcoBoost (92kW/125PS) or REFER to: Charging System - 2.0L Duratec-HE (110kW/150PS) - MI4/2.0L Duratec-HE (125kW/170PS) - MI4 or REFER to: Charging System - 2.0L EcoBoost (184kW/250PS) - MI4
    No  GO to  N3

  3. N3 CHECK THE BATTERY CONDITION AND STATE OF CHARGE

    • Check the battery condition and verify the battery is fully charged. REFER to: Battery

    Is the battery OK and fully charged? 

    Yes  GO to  N4
    No  CHARGE or INSTALL a new battery. REFER to: Battery

  4. N4 CHECK THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) VOLTAGE SUPPLY

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead

      		 Ground
      C2280G-2

      		 Ground

    Are the voltages greater than 11 volts? 

    Yes  GO to  N5
    No  VERIFY the high current BJB fuse 9 (50A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit. If not OK, REFER to OEM ELECTRICAL WIRING DIAGRAM INTRODUCTION (EXCEPT ELECTRIC VEHICLE) to identify the possible causes for the short circuit.

  5. N5 RECHECK THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) CONTINUOUS MEMORY DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (CMDTCS)

    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C2280A-3
      GFD60581Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      		 Ground

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  N6
    No  REPAIR the circuit.

  6. N6 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION

    • Disconnect and inspect all BCM connectors.
    • Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    • Connect the BCM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new BCM. REFER to: Body Control Module (BCM) 
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
