Preliminary Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1998 Mercury Mountaineer and 1998 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Verify customers complaint by operating ATS. Check for damaged door lock cylinder, ignition lock cylinder or hood switch. Check for open fuse(s). Check for loose or corroded connectors, damaged wiring harness, or faulty relay(s). Repair or replace components as necessary. If all components are okay, connect NGS tester to DLC located below instrument panel. Perform DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST.
If NGS tester displays CKT914, CKT915 or CKT70=ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, see appropriate MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article to continue diagnosis. If NGS tester displays NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for RAP module, go to TEST A: NO COMMUNICATION WITH RAP MODULE test under SYSTEM TESTS. If NGS tester displays NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for GEM/CTM, go to TEST E: NO COMMUNICATION WITH GEM/CTM test under SYSTEM TESTS.
If NGS tester displays SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record continuous DTCs. Erase continuous DTCs and perform self-test diagnostics for RAP module. Perform appropriate system test in accordance with DTC retrieved. See RAP MODULE SELF-TEST DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX. If DTCs retrieved are not listed in RAP MODULE SELF-TEST DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX table, see GENERIC ELECTRONIC MODULE/CENTRAL TIMER MODULE (GEM/CTM) DTC DEFINITIONS table. If no DTCs are retrieved, go to SYSTEM TESTS.
