Self-Diagnostic System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lincoln Blackwood. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Power window system utilizes a self-diagnostic system which may store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) if a problem exists in the system. DTCs may be retrieved using New Generation STAR (NGS) tester when connected to Data Link Connector (DLC). For preliminary testing, see TROUBLE SHOOTING .

Connect New Generation Star (NGS) tester to Data Link Connector (DLC) located below center of instrument panel. Using NGS tester, perform data link diagnostic test. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM in MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - BLACKWOOD article.

If NGS tester displays CKT914, CKT915 or CKT70 = ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, diagnose module communication problem. See MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - BLACKWOOD article. If NGS tester displays NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for Generic Electronic Module (GEM), perform TEST A: NO COMMUNICATION WITH GENERIC ELECTRONIC MODULE  under SYSTEM TESTS.

If NGS tester displays SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record continuous DTCs. Erase continuous DTCs. Using NGS tester, perform GEM self-test. If GEM DTCs related to problem are retrieved, perform appropriate test. See GENERIC ELECTRONIC MODULE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE TEST INDEX  table. If no DTCs related to the problem are retrieved, perform appropriate test based on symptom. See SYMPTOM TEST INDEX  table under SYSTEM TESTS. For GEM DTCs not covered in this article, see MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - BLACKWOOD article.
