Test D: Driver's Seat Module Does Not Respond To NGS Tester
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect Driver's Seat Module (DSM) 26-pin harness connector C313. DSM is located under driver's seat. Inspect DSM harness connector C313 for loose, damaged or corroded terminals. Repair as necessary and retest system for normal operation. If harness connector is okay, reconnect harness connector. Connect New Generation Star (NGS) tester to Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located below left side of instrument panel, to right of steering column. Turn ignition switch to RUN position and perform data link diagnostic test. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If NGS tester indicates DSM: NO RESPONSE ON CKT 914 (BUS +), go to next step. If NGS tester indicates DSM: NO RESPONSE ON CKT 915 (BUS -), go to step 4.
- Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect NGS tester. Disconnect DSM harness connector C313. Measure resistance in Tan/Orange wire between DSM harness connector C313 terminal No. 25 and DLC terminal No. 2. See Figure and Fig 1 . If resistance is 5 ohms or more, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or less, replace DSM. Retest system for normal operation.
- Disconnect 42-pin in-line harness connector C202. In-line harness connector C202 is located behind right side of instrument panel. See Figure. Inspect in-line harness connector for loose, damaged or corroded terminals. Repair as necessary and retest system for normal operation. If harness connector is okay, measure resistance in Tan/Orange wire between male half of in-line harness connector C202 terminal No. 5 and DLC terminal No. 2. See Figure and Figure . If resistance is 5 ohms or less, repair open in Tan/Orange wire between DSM and in-line harness connector C202. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Tan/Orange wire between in-line harness connector C202 and DLC. Restore electrical connections and retest system for normal operation.
- Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect NGS tester. Disconnect DSM harness connector C313. Measure resistance in Pink/Light Blue wire between DSM harness connector C313 terminal No. 26 and DLC terminal No. 10. See Figure and Fig 1 . If resistance is 5 ohms or more, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or less, replace DSM. Retest system for normal operation.
- Disconnect 42-pin in-line harness connector C202. In-line harness connector C202 is located behind right side of instrument panel. See Figure. Inspect in-line harness connector for loose, damaged or corroded terminals. Repair as necessary and retest system for normal operation. If harness connector is okay, measure resistance in Pink/Light Blue wire between male half of in-line harness connector C202 terminal No. 7 and DLC terminal No. 10. See Figure and Figure . If resistance is 5 ohms or less, repair open in Pink/Light Blue wire between DSM and in-line harness connector C202. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Pink/Light Blue wire between DSM harness connector and DLC. Restore electrical connections and retest system for normal operation.
