Visual Inspection and Pre-checks

Inspect BJB fuse(s).

R1 VERIFY BATTERY
- Perform battery test. REFER to: Battery .
Did battery pass test?

Yes GO to R2

No REPLACE battery. REFER to: Battery .

R2 CHECK BJB (BATTERY JUNCTION BOX) FUSES
- Check BJB fuse(s).
Are the fuses OK?

Yes GO to R4

No REPLACE fuses as necessary. GO to R3

R3 RECHECK BJB (BATTERY JUNCTION BOX) FUSES
- Check BJB fuse(s).
Are the fuses OK?

Yes GO to R4

No REPAIR the circuit short.

R4 CHECK THE POWER POINT WITH KEY OFF
- Ignition OFF.
- Connect a known good device to each power point.
Are all power points off?

Yes GO to R5

No GO to R6

R5 CHECK THE POWER POINT OPERATION WITH KEY ON

Ignition ON.

Connect a known good device to each power point and verify the device works.

Are all the power points operational?

Yes

GO to R6

No	If no power points are operational, GO to R6 If some, but not all, power points are operational, REFER to the appropriate wiring diagram article and correct open circuit as necessary.

R6 CHECK FOR BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)

Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the BCM self-test.

Is BCMDTC B1430:12, B1430:14, B1435:12 or B1435:14 present?

Yes	For BCMDTC B1430:12 or B1435:12, GO to R7 For BCMDTC B1430:14 or B1435:14, GO to R9

No	For all other BCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) BCM DTC Chart in this portion. If no BCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are found, the system is operating correctly at this time.

R7 CHECK THE BJB (BATTERY JUNCTION BOX) FOR INTERNAL SHORT
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect BJB C1035A .
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and repeat the BCM self-test.
Is DTC B1430:12 or B1435:12 still present?

Yes GO to R8

No INSTALL a new BJB.

R8 CHECK THE POWER POINT CONTROL CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect BCM C2280H .

Using the Terminal Release Kit, release and temporarily remove BCM C2280C-23 and C2280C-33.

Connect BCM C2280H .

Ignition ON.

Measure:

Positive Lead	Measurement / Action	Negative Lead

Is any voltage present?

Yes	REPAIR the circuit.

No	Turn ignition off. INSTALL C2280C-23 and C2280C-33. GO to R12

R9 CHECK THE POWER POINT CONTROL CIRCUITS

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect BCM C2280H .

Measure:

Positive Lead	Measurement / Action	Negative Lead
C2280C-23	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	Ground
C2280C-33	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	Ground

Are voltages greater than 11.0V?

Yes

GO to R12

GO to R10

R10 CHECK THE POWER POINT CONTROL CIRCUITS FOR SHORT TO GROUND

Disconnect BJB C1035A .

Measure:

Positive Lead	Measurement / Action	Negative Lead
C2280C-23	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	Ground
C2280C-33	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	Ground

Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?

Yes

GO to R11

No	REPAIR the circuit.

R11 CHECK THE POWER POINT CONTROL CIRCUITS FOR OPENS

Measure:

Positive Lead	Measurement / Action	Negative Lead
C2280C-23	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	C1035A-21
C2280C-33	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	C1035A-30

Are the resistances less than 3 ohms?

Yes	REPLACE the BJB.

No	Repair the circuit.

R12 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

Reconnect 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 service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles 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.
