Pinpoint Tests

 

Pinpoint Test A: No Power in All Ignition Switch Positions — Vehicles with an Ignition Switch

Diagnostic Overview

Diagnostics in this manual assume a certain skill level and knowledge of Ford-specific diagnostic practices. Refer to Diagnostic Methods in Section 100-00 for information about these practices.

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 13 , Power Distribution/BCM for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The ignition switch receives fused battery voltage from BCM fuse 26 (5A). In the ACC or RUN position, this voltage is sent to the BCM . In the START position, this voltage is sent to both the BCM and the PCM. When the ignition switch is cycled to the OFF/LOCK position from any other position, the BCM begins a monitoring cycle. The monitoring cycle checks that the voltage supplied to the BCM from the ignition switch through the RUN/ACC, RUN/START and START circuits is delivered correctly for each ignition switch position.

Pinpoint Test E: No Power in RUN/No Power in START - Vehicles With a Start/Stop Switch

Diagnostic Overview

Diagnostics in this manual assume a certain skill level and knowledge of Ford-specific diagnostic practices. Refer to Diagnostic Methods in Section 100-00 for information about these practices.

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 13 , Power Distribution/BCM for schematic and connector information.

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 20 , Starting System for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

When in RUN mode, the BCM provides a ground for the coil (control) side of the RUN/START relay located in the BJB . The BCM monitors the RUN/START relay control circuit; a DTC sets if the circuit is shorted to ground or open. The start/stop switch provides a voltage input to the RFA module and PCM. The start/stop switch also provides a voltage and ground input to the BCM . The 3 modules exchange information over the HS-CAN to determine if starting the engine is authorized. If PATS authorizes the starting of the engine, the PCM supplies power and ground to the starter relay.

To place the vehicle in RUN mode, locate the IA key inside the vehicle and press the start/stop switch once, for at least one second, without applying the brake pedal.

To start the engine, locate the IA key inside the vehicle and press the start/stop switch while the brake pedal is applied.



 DTC Fault Trigger Conditions

DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
  • B1310:14
Run/Start Control: Circuit Short to Ground or Open The BCM continuously monitors the control side of the RUN/START relay. This DTC is set if the BCM detects an open or a short to ground on the control circuit. The BCM uses a FET to control the RUN/START relay. When this DTC sets, the control side of the RUN/START relay is disabled via the FET . Once the condition that caused the DTC to set is repaired, the BCM must pass a self-test in order for the DTC to clear and the system to resume normal operation.

Pinpoint Test I: The Start-Stop Switch Mode Indicator is Always or Never Illuminated

Diagnostic Overview

Diagnostics in this manual assume a certain skill level and knowledge of Ford-specific diagnostic practices. Refer to Diagnostic Methods in Section 100-00 for information about these practices.

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 13 , Power Distribution/BCM for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The BCM uses a FET as circuit protection for the start/stop switch indicator and as an electronic switch to turn the start/stop switch indicator On and Off. The FET receives fused battery voltage from BCM fuse 18 (10A). When the start/stop switch is pressed, a voltage and ground signal are sent to the BCM . When the vehicle enters RUN or START mode, the BCM forward biases the FET , which provides voltage to the amber LED in the start/stop switch, illuminating the word ENGINE.

Once the condition that caused the DTC to set is repaired, the BCM must pass a self-test in order for the DTC to clear and the system to resume normal operation.
  • B1240:15
Start Button Mode Indicator: Circuit Short to Battery or Open The BCM continuously monitors the start/stop switch indicator circuit.

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 13 , Power Distribution/BCM for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

On vehicles equipped with a conventional ignition switch, fused battery voltage is sent to the ignition switch from BCM fuse 26 (5A). This voltage is then sent to the BCM along 1 of 3 circuits, depending on ignition switch position.

When the switch is pressed, this voltage is sent to the BCM , the RFA module and the PCM. The other set of contacts in the start/stop switch connects the BCM to ground. When the switch is pressed, the BCM detects this ground signal and takes appropriate action, based on other inputs.

Diagnostic Overview

Diagnostics in this manual assume a certain skill level and knowledge of Ford-specific diagnostic practices. Refer to Diagnostic Methods in Section 100-00 for information about these practices.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
