Pinpoint Test AA: The Door Ajar Warning Indicator Is Never/Always On (Fusion/Milan Non-Hybrid)
Normal Operation
The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives the door ajar status for the LH front door, RH front door, LH rear door and the RH rear door ajar switch status from the Smart Junction Box (SJB) over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) communication bus. When the IPC receives a message from the SJB that one or more doors is open or ajar, the IPC turns on the door ajar warning indicator.
If the door ajar status message is missing for less than 5 seconds, the door ajar warning indicator remains in the last indication mode (on or off) based upon the last known good message received. If the door ajar status message is missing for more than 5 seconds, the IPC sets DTC U0140:00 and defaults the door ajar warning indicator on.
NOTE: If DTC U0140:00 is set in the SJB, other symptoms may also be present in the IPC such as high beam indicator, RH/LH turn indicators, instrument panel backlighting and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Interior lighting concern
- SJB
- IPC
PINPOINT TEST AA: THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR IS NEVER/ALWAYS ON (FUSION/MILAN NON-HYBRID)
NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
-------------------------------------------------
AA1 CHECK THE INTERIOR LIGHTING OPERATION
- Open and close each door while monitoring the courtesy lamps.
- Do the courtesy lamps operate correctly with each door?
Yes
GO to AA2.

GO to AA3.
No
INSTALL a new IPC. REFER to Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). TEST the system for normal operation.
-------------------------------------------------
AA3 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE CONTINUOUS IPC SELF-TEST
- Check for recorded IPC DTCs from the continuous self-test.
- Is DTC U0140:00 recorded?
Yes
GO to Pinpoint Test BM. Pinpoint Tests BM: DTC U0140:00
No
GO to AA4.
-------------------------------------------------
AA4 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE SJB SELF-TEST
- Check for recorded DTCs from the SJB self-test.
- Are any SJB DTCs recorded?
Yes
REFER to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart in Body Control Systems. Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart
No
INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to Body Control Systems. TEST the system for normal operation.
