![background image](/ford/explorer_sport_trac_2wd/v6-4.0l/Page-1003041.png)
The Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) uses an unshielded twisted pair cable, circuits VDB06 (GY/OG) and VDB07 (VT/OG) provide
the network connection to all modules on the network.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
-
Wiring, terminals or connectors
-
Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) (if equipped)
-
Audio Control Module (ACM)
-
Driver Seat Module (DSM) (if equipped)
-
HVAC module (if equipped)
-
Instrument Cluster (IC)
-
Parking Aid Module (PAM) (if equipped)
-
Power Running Board (PRB) module (if equipped)
-
Rear Entertainment Module (RETM) (if equipped)
-
Satellite Digital Audio Receiver System (SDARS) module (if equipped)
-
Smart Junction Box (SJB)
PINPOINT TEST Q: NO MS-CAN COMMUNICATION, ALL MODULES ARE NOT RESPONDING
NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the
connector.
NOTE: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint
test. See: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Communications Network/Inspection And Verification
NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed will result in false resistance readings. Refer to Battery.
-------------------------------------------------
Q1 CHECK THE DLC PINS FOR DAMAGE
-
Ignition OFF.
-
Disconnect the scan tool cable from the Data Link Connector (DLC).
-
Inspect DLC pins 3 and 11 for damage.
-
Are DLC pins 3 and 11 OK?
Yes
GO to Q2.
No
REPAIR the DLC as necessary. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool.
-------------------------------------------------
Q2 CHECK THE MS-CAN TERMINATION RESISTANCE
-
Disconnect: Negative Battery Cable.
-
Measure the resistance between the DLC C251-3, circuit VDB06 (GY/OG), harness side and the DLC C251-11, circuit VDB07 (VT/OG), harness
side.
-
Is the resistance between 54 and 66 ohms?
