PINPOINT TEST AN : The Generic Function Module (GFM) Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool

NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed will result in false resistance readings. REFER to Battery, Mounting and Cables

  1. AN1 CHECK THE GFM VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: GFM C2464.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C2464-1

      Ground

    Is the voltage greater than 11 volts? 

    Yes  GO to  AN2.
    No  VERIFY the BCM fuse 42 (5A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit. If not OK, REFER to the OEM ELECTRICAL WIRING DIAGRAM INTRODUCTION to identify the possible causes of the circuit short.
  2. AN2 CHECK THE GFM GROUND CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C2464-14
      GFD33596Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      Ground

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  AN3.
    No  REPAIR the circuit.
  3. AN3 CHECK THE HS-CAN CIRCUITS BETWEEN THE GFM AND THE DLC FOR AN OPEN

    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C2464-6
      GFD33596Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      C251-6
      C2464-13
      GFD33596Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      C251-14

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    Yes  CONNECT the negative battery cable. GO to  AN4.
    No  REPAIR the circuit in question.
  4. AN4 CHECK FOR CORRECT GFM OPERATION

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect and inspect the GFM connector and related in-line connectors.
    • Repair:
      • corrosion (replace connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - replace terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - replace pins as necessary
    • Reconnect the GFM connector and related in-line connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, discontinue this test and follow TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new GFM. REFER to Police Package Equipment .
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
