Pinpoint Test N: The LTM Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lincoln MKX and 2014 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.

NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed results in false resistance readings. Refer to BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES .

N1 CHECK THE LTM VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: LTM C4174A .
- Ignition ON.
- Measure the voltage between the LTM C4174A-4 , circuit SBB07 (WH/RD), harness side and ground; and between the LTM C4174A-9 , circuit SBP09 (RD), harness side and ground.

  Are the voltages greater than 10 volts?
  1. Yes : GO to N2.
  2. No : VERIFY the Battery Junction Box (BJB) fuse 7 (30A) and the BCM fuse 9 (10A) is OK.
    If OK, REPAIR the circuit in question. If not OK, REFER to the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS to identify the possible causes of the circuit short. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool.
N2 CHECK THE LTM GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Negative Battery Cable.
- Measure the resistance between the LTM C4174A-1 , circuit GD149 (BK/GY), harness side and ground.

  Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
  1. Yes : GO to N3.
  2. No : REPAIR the circuit. CONNECT the negative battery cable. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool.
N3 CHECK THE MS-CAN CIRCUITS BETWEEN THE LTM AND THE DLC FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: LTM C4174B .
- Measure the resistance between the LTM C4174B-24 , circuit VDB06 (GY/OG), harness side and the DLC C251-3 , circuit VDB06 (GY/OG), harness side.

  Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?
  1. Yes : CONNECT the negative battery cable. GO to N4.
  2. No : REPAIR the circuit in question. CONNECT the negative battery cable. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool.
N4 CHECK FOR CORRECT LTM OPERATION
- Disconnect all the LTM connectors.
- Check for:
  - corrosion
  - damaged pins
  - pushed-out pins
- Connect all the LTM connectors and make sure they are seated correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
  Is the concern still present?
  1. Yes : INSTALL a new LTM . REFER to BODY CLOSURES . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool.
  2. No : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool.
