Pinpoint Tests
PINPOINT TEST X: THE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS (DRL) ARE INOPERATIVENormal Operation - Fusion, Milan
When the ignition switch is in the RUN position, the headlamps are not on (from the autolamp system or manual control from the headlamp switch) and the transmission is not in PARK (P) (automatic transaxle) or the parking brake is released (manual transaxle), the smart junction box (SJB) provides a pulse-width modulated (PWM) voltage to the low beam headlamps. This illuminates the headlamps at a reduced intensity.
MKZ
When the ignition switch is in the RUN position, the headlamps are not on (from the autolamp system or manual control from the headlamp switch) and the transmission is not in PARK (P), the SJB provides voltage to the front turn lamps (on solidly, not flashing).
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Exterior lighting system input/output
- Ignition switch input
- Parking brake switch input (manual transaxle)
- Transmission gear input (automatic transaxle)
- SJB
