2003 FORD MUSTANG low beam

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell
97 , Daytime Running Lamps for schematic and connector information.
Principles of Operation
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
The daytime running lamps (DRL) system operates the low beam headlamps at a reduced intensity.
The DRL module (15A270) supplies pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage, approximately 75%- 92%
of battery voltage, to the low beam headlamps when the following conditions are met:
zThe parking brake control is released.
z The high beam headlamps are disabled.
z The ignition switch (11572) is in the RUN position.
The DRL module remains enabled when the low beam headlamps are turned on.
Inspection and Verification 1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.
3. Verify the headlamps are operating correctly. Correct any concerns before proceeding to the

Section 417 - 01 .
4. Verify the parking brake control is fully released.
5. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
6. If the concern is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the Symptom Chart.

and the air bag modules reconnected when the system is
reactivated to avoid non- deployment in a collision, resulting in
possible personal injury. NOTE: Diagnostics or repairs are not to
be performed on a seat equipped with a seat side air bag with the
seat in the vehicle. Prior to attempting to diagnose or repair a seat
concern when equipped with a seat side air bag, the seat must be
removed from the vehicle and the restraint system diagnostic tools
must be installed in the seat side air bag electrical connectors. The
restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed prior to
operating the vehicle over the road. NOTE: After diagnosing or Yes

Pinpoint Test J: LFC 34/DTC B1934 —
Driver Air Bag Circuit Resistance Low
Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) monitors the resistance of the driver air bag ignitor by measuring
the resistance between pins 3 and 4. If the RCM detects low resistance between these pins, it will
store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1934 in memory and flash a lamp fault code (LFC) 34 (or
higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag indicator.
Possible Causes
Driver air bag low resistance can be caused by:
za short in the clockspring windings.
z a short in the wiring harness.
z a low resistance in the driver air bag module.
z an RCM internal concern.
z worn or damaged short bar or camming beam.

Pinpoint Test K: LFC 35/DTC B1935 —
Passenger Air Bag Circuit Resistance Low
Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) monitors the resistance of the passenger air bag ignitor by
measuring the resistance between pins 6 and 7. If the RCM detects low resistance between these
pins, it will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1935 in memory and flash a lamp fault code (LFC)
35 (or higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag indicator.
Possible Causes
Passenger air bag low resistance can be caused by:
za short in the wiring harness.
z a low resistance in the passenger air bag module.
z an RCM internal concern.
z a worn or damaged connector shorting bar or camming beam.
