Pinpoint Test A: Brake Shift Interlock System Does Not Release/Lock Correctly
- A1 TEST THE BRAKE LIGHTS
- Apply the brake pedal and view the brake lights.
- Brake lamps should illuminate within 15 mm (0.59 in) of pedal travel
- Do the brake lights illuminate within 15 mm (0.59 in) of pedal travel?
- A2 TEST SJB FUSE 5 (10A)
- Ignition OFF.
- Check fuse: Smart Junction Box (SJB) 5 (10A).
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes
: GO to A3.
- No
: INSTALL a new fuse. GO to A3.
- A3 TEST THE BSIA POWER CIRCUIT
- Disconnect: Selector Lever Harness C3245.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure the voltage between selector lever harness C3245-1, circuit CET53 (BU/OG) and ground, while applying the brake pedal.

- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- Yes
: GO to A6.
- No
: GO to A4.
- A4 TEST THE BSIA POWER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: SJB C2280F.
- Measure the resistance between selector lever harness C3245-1, circuit CET53 (BU/OG) and ground.

- Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?
- Yes
: GO to A5.
- No
: REPAIR circuit CET53 (BU/OG) for a short to ground. TEST the system for normal operation.
- A5 TEST THE BSIA POWER CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between selector lever harness C3245-1, circuit CET53 (BU/OG) and SJB C2280F-23, circuit CET53 (BU/OG).

- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes
: INSTALL a new SJB. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No
: REPAIR circuit CET53 (BU/OG) for an open.
- A6 TEST THE BSIA GROUND CIRCUIT
- Ignition OFF.
- Measure the resistance between selector lever harness C3245-5, circuit GD114 (BK/BU) and ground.
Courtesy of FORD MOTOR CO.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes
: GO to A7
- No
: REPAIR circuit GD114 (BK/BU). TEST the system for normal operation.
- A7 TEST THE BSIA WITH THE SELECTOR LEVER CABLE DISCONNECTED
- Connect: Selector Lever Harness C3245.
- Disconnect the selector lever cable at the selector lever.
- Ignition ON.
- Apply the brake pedal and move the selector lever out of the park position.
- Does the brake shift interlock system release the selector lever correctly?
