Pinpoint Test C: The Ic Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. 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 will result in false resistance readings. Refer to BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES .

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes:  CONNECT the negative battery cable. GO to C6  .
    • No:  REPAIR the circuit. CONNECT the negative battery cable. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool.
  6. C6 CHECK THE IC VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN 
    • Disconnect: IC  C220.
    • Ignition ON.
