Ford Mustang (1999-2004) Service Manual: Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern.

2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of electrical damage.

Visual Inspection Chart

Electrical

  • Central junction box (CJB) Fuse 31 (5A)

  • Damaged wiring harness

  • Loose or corroded connections

  • Anti-lock brake control module without traction control (optional)

  • Anti-lock brake control module with traction control (optional)

  • Generic electronic module (GEM)

  • Restraint control module (RCM)

  • Powertrain control module (PCM)

  • Instrument cluster

3. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect diagnostic tool to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from diagnostic tool menu. If diagnostic tool does not communicate with the vehicle:

  • check that the program card is correctly installed.
  • check that the correct version of the program card is installed.
  • check the connections to the vehicle.
  • check the ignition switch position.

If the diagnostic tool still does not communicate with the vehicle, go to Pinpoint Test H.

4. Go to Pinpoint Test PC.

System Precheck

PINPOINT TEST PC: DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS NETWORK TEST

Test Step Result / Action to Take
PC1 DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS NETWORK TEST Yes

Test PASSED. RETURN to the Symptom Chart of the section for the module in question.

No

If no response from the diagnostic tool, GO to Pinpoint Test H .

If CKT70=ALL ECUS NO RESP / NOT EQUIP, GO to Pinpoint Test F .

If CKT914 or CKT915=ALL ECUS NO RESP / NOT EQUIP, GO to Pinpoint Test G .

If CKT70, CKT914, or CKT915=SOME ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, REFER to Symptom Chart.

If the module in question is NO RESPONSE ON CKT914 (BUS+), or NO RESPONSE ON CKT915 (BUS-), REFER to Symptom Chart.

If the module in question is NO RESPONSE/NOT EQUIPPED, REFER to Symptom Chart.
  • Run the Data Link Diagnostics Network Test.
  • Is SYSTEM PASSED obtained?
