Pinpoint Test X: The Individual Reversing Lamp Is Inoperative




Reversing Lamps

Pinpoint Test X: The Individual Reversing Lamp Is Inoperative

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 93 (Fusion/Milan/MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, Milan Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid), Reversing Lamps for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number

When the reversing lamps relay is energized, voltage is routed to the reversing lamps.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Bulb holder


PINPOINT TEST X: THE INDIVIDUAL REVERSING LAMP IS INOPERATIVE

NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.

-------------------------------------------------
X1 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE REVERSING LAMP

- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Inoperative Reversing Lamp.
- Apply the parking brake.
- Ignition ON.
- Select REVERSE.
- For Fusion, measure the voltage between the LH rear lamp C487-1, circuit CLS10 (GN/BN), harness side and ground, or between the RH rear lamp C488-1, circuit CLS10 (GN/BN), harness side and ground.




- For Milan or MKZ, measure the voltage between the LH rear lamp C451-1, circuit CLS10 (GN/BN), harness side and ground, or between the RH rear lamp C461-1, circuit CLS10 (GN/BN), harness side and ground.




- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?

Yes
GO to X2.

No
REPAIR circuit CLS10 (GN/BN) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.

-------------------------------------------------
X2 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE REVERSING LAMP USING THE CONNECTOR GROUND

- For Fusion, measure the voltage between the LH rear lamp C487-1, circuit CLS10 (GN/BN), harness side and the LH rear lamp C487-2, circuit GD171 (BK/GY), harness side, or between the RH rear lamp C488-1, circuit CLS10 (GN/BN), harness side and the RH rear lamp C488-2, circuit GD171 (BK/GY), harness side.




- For Milan or MKZ, measure the voltage between the LH rear lamp C451-1, circuit CLS10 (GN/BN), harness side and the LH rear lamp C451-2, circuit GD171 (BK/GY), harness side, or between the RH rear lamp C461-1, circuit CLS10 (GN/BN), harness side and the RH rear lamp C461-2, circuit GD171 (BK/GY), harness side.




- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?

Yes
INSTALL a new bulb holder. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
REPAIR circuit GD171 (BK/GY) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.
