Instrument Cluster and Panel Illumination
Refer to
Wiring Diagrams Section 413-00, for
schematic and connector information.
Principles of Operation
NOTE: A new instrument cluster must be
configured.
The instrument cluster and panel illumination
consists of dimmable and non-dimmable
illumination. The dimmable panel illumination is
controlled by the panel illumination switch (part of
the headlamp switch), which allows the brightness
level of the backlights to be adjusted dependent
on the customer preference. When the headlamp
switch is in the parking lamps ON or headlamps
ON position, the intensity of the backlighting can
be adjusted using the panel dimmer switch. The
non dimmable illumination allows for full intensity
dependant on the ignition switch position.

The dimmable illumination utilizes light emitting
diodes (LEDs) and bulb(s). The following dimmable
components are backlight using LEDs only:
• ashtray
• cigar lighter
• transmission control lever
• heater control panel
• audio unit • navigation system display module
• instrument cluster
• climate control module
• hazard switch
• traction control system disable switch
• right-hand and left-hand heated front seat

Inspection and Verification
1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical
or electrical damage.

Component Description
Rear parking aid speaker
The rear parking aid speaker, in addition to its
actual function, is also used for audible indication
of various types of error in the front and rear
parking aids. If the rear parking aid speaker
becomes defective, the front parking aid speaker
will then be used to indicate failure modes.
If an error is detected in the system, a signal tone
is emitted via the speaker for 3 seconds.
Parking aid sensors
CAUTIONS:
Always keep sensors free from dirt, ice and
snow. Do not use any sharp objects to
clean the sensors.
If a high-pressure cleaner is used to wash
the vehicle, the jet must only be aimed at
the sensors briefly at a distance of at least
20 cm.
The parking aid sensor consists of the following:
• Plastic housing
• Aluminum membrane with Piezo disc
• Decoupling ring
• Printed circuit board (PCB)
The parking aid sensor consists of a sensor and a
holder. The holder makes sure that each parking
aid sensor is correctly orientated in relation to its
location in the rear bumper.
The sensors have a 3-pin connector which is
connected to the wiring harness of the front
bumper. This in turn is connected to the main body
wiring harness. Three pins provide for power
supply, ground and signal lines to and from the
parking aid module. The disc resonates at a frequency of ca. 50kHz,
producing the ultrasonic output. The disc also
receives the reflected echo signal from any objects
within range.
Parking aid module
The parking aid module has three connectors which
provide for power, ground and MS CAN bus
connections, as well as the front and rear parking
aid sensors, the parking aid switch and parking aid
speaker.
The parking aid module carries out self-check
routines and when the parking aid is active, checks
the parking aid sensor wiring for short or open
circuits. If a concern is detected, a diagnostic
trouble code (DTC) is stored in a memory in the
parking aid module and the front and rear parking
aid sensors will be disabled until the DTC is cleared
and the ignition cycled. The driver recognizes a
problem through the flashing LED and a shrill
continuous tone, which is emitted for 3 seconds
when the parking aid is activated. If the parking aid
is working properly, short tones are emitted instead
of this continuous tone. DTCs can be read using
the Ford approved diagnostic tool through the data
link connector (DLC).

Front Drive Halfshafts
Inspection and Verification
NOTE:New front wheel drive halfshafts should not
be installed unless disassembly and inspection
reveals unusual wear.
1. Inspect front wheel driveshaft joint boots for evidence of cracks, tears or splits.
NOTE: While inspecting the front wheel driveshaft
CV joint boots, watch for indentations (dimples) in
the boot convolutions. If an indentation is observed,
it must be removed.
2. Inspect the underbody for any indication of grease splatter in the vicinity of the front wheel
driveshaft CV joint boots outboard and inboard
locations, which is an indication of front wheel
driveshaft CV joint boot and/or front wheel
driveshaft CV joint boot clamp damage. 3. Inspect for inboard CV joint stub shaft pilot
bearing housing seal leakage at the front wheel
driveshaft CV joint.
4. Make sure front axle wheel hub retainer is the correct prevailing torque type.
5. The silicone front wheel driveshaft CV joint boot will sweat during operation, causing a light film
of grease to show on the outside of the front
wheel driveshaft CV joint boot. This condition
is normal.
NOTE: Halfshafts are not balanced and do not
contribute to rotational vibration.
6. If the concerns remain after the inspection, determine the symptoms and go to the Symptom
Chart. For additional Noise, Vibration and
Harshness (NVH). REFER to Section 100-04
[Noise, Vibration and Harshness] .
