Test J: Power Sliding Door Open/Close Switch Circuit Short To Ground
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Ford Windstar and 1999 Ford Windstar. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Using New Generation Star (NGS) tester, perform Left Power Sliding Door Module (LPSDM) and Right Power Sliding Door Module (RPSDM) self-tests. If DTC B2366 is retrieved from LPSDM, go to next step. If DTC B2366 is retrieved from RPSDM, go to step 5.
- Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Using NGS tester, monitor LPSDM PID SD_OPSW. Ensure overhead console open/close switch is not pressed. If PID reads ACTIVE, go to next step. If PID reads NOTACT, clear LPSDM DTCs and repeat LPSDM self-test. If DTC B2366 is retrieved, replace LPSDM.
- Disconnect overhead console switch 8-pin harness connector C915. Using NGS tester, monitor LPSDM PID SD_OPSW. If PID reads ACTIVE, go to next step. If PID reads NOTACT, replace overhead console switch assembly.
- Disconnect LPSDM 12-pin harness connector C355. Measure resistance between LPSDM harness connector C355 terminal No. 2 (White/Light Green wire) and ground. If resistance is more than 10 k/ohms, replace LPSDM. If resistance is 10 k/ohms or less, repair short to ground in White/Light Green wire.
- Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Using NGS tester, monitor RPSDM PID SD_OPSW. Ensure overhead console open/close switch is not pressed. If PID reads ACTIVE, go to next step. If PID reads NOTACT, clear RPSDM DTCs and repeat RPSDM self-test. If DTC B2366 is retrieved, replace RPSDM.
- Disconnect overhead console switch 8-pin harness connector C915. Using NGS tester, monitor RPSDM PID SD_OPSW. If PID still reads ACTIVE, go to next step. If PID reads NOTACT, replace overhead console switch assembly.
- Disconnect RPSDM 12-pin harness connector C352. Measure resistance between RPSDM harness connector C352 terminal No. 2 (Light Green/Red wire) and ground. If resistance is more than 10 k/ohms, replace RPSDM. If resistance is 10 k/ohms or less, repair short to ground in Light Green/Red wire.
