2003 FORD MUSTANG traction control

The right and left turn indicators will illuminate when the steering column multifunction switch is in
either turn signal position or hazard lamps position by sending a battery signal to the instrument
cluster.
AIR BAG Warning Indicator
The AIR BAG warning indicator will be illuminated when the restraint control module (RCM) sends a
ground signal to the instrument cluster. The prove-
out of the AIR BAG warning indicator is controlled
by the RCM.
THEFT Indicator
The THEFT indicator provides a passive anti- theft system (PATS) prove-out. The THEFT indicator will
prove out for three seconds following the ignition switch cycle and will flash following an ignition switch
OFF transition to indicate that PATS is active.
Charging System Indicator
The charging system indicator will be illuminated when the generator provides a ground signal to the
instrument cluster. The instrument cluster provides a prove- out when the ignition switch is in the RUN
position with the engine off. When the engine is started, the generator removes the ground to the
instrument cluster and extinguishes the charging system indicator.
Overdrive Off (O/D OFF) Indicator
The O/D OFF indicator is controlled by the off/on message sent from the PCM over the SCP network.
The instrument cluster does not provide a prove- out for the O/D OFF indicator, but will remain
illuminated if the overdrive has been commanded off following the instrument cluster prove- out.
Traction Control Indicator
During initialization, the instrument cluster will receive the traction control system state status message
from the traction control module to determine if the vehicle is equipped with traction control. If the
vehicle is equipped with traction control, this information will be stored in random access memory
(RAM) and the indicator will prove out for three seconds during each ignition cycle. If this message is
not received, the instrument cluster will assume that the vehicle is not traction control equipped and
the indicator will remain off. When the traction control is active, the traction control module sends the
instrument cluster a traction control active signal and the instrument cluster illuminates the traction
control indicator. When the traction control is inactive, the traction control module removes the traction
control active signal and the instrument cluster turns off the indicator.
In the event of a traction control failure, the traction control indicator will remain off and the ABS
indicator will illuminate.
Inspection and Verification 1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.

The generic electronic module (GEM) is on the ISO 9141 network. The GEM module controls a variety
of systems including one touch down windows, wipers, perimeter anti-
theft, and warning chimes. For
additional information, refer to Section 419 - 10 .
The anti- lock brake control module communicates over the ISO 9141 communication network when
not equipped with traction control and communicates over the SCP communication network when it is
equipped with the traction control option. The anti- lock brake control module controls the brake
pressure to the four wheels to keep the vehicle under control while braking. For additional information
on anti- lock brake control module without traction control, refer to Section 206 - 09A . For additional
information on anti- lock brake control module with traction control, refer to Section 206 - 09B .
The instrument cluster is on the SCP communication network. The instrument cluster displays driver
information. The instrument cluster incorporates the PATS control module functions. For additional
information on the PATS system, refer to Section 419 - 01 . For additional information on the instrument
cluster, refer to Section 413 - 01 .
Inspection and Verification 1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of electrical damage.
3. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect diagnostic tool to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from diagnostic
tool menu. If diagnostic tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
zcheck that the program card is correctly installed.
z check that the correct version of the program card is installed.
z check the connections to the vehicle.
z check the ignition switch position.
If the diagnostic tool still does not communicate with the vehicle, go to Pinpoint Test H. 4. Go to Pinpoint Test PC.

Pinpoint Tests
CAUTION: Be careful when probing the CJB, battery junction box (BJB) or any
connectors. Damage will result to the connector receptacle if the probe or terminal being used
is too large.
CAUTION: Electronic modules are sensitive to static electrical charges. If exposed to
these charges, damage may result.
NOTE: If DTCs are recorded and the symptom is not present when carrying out the pinpoint tests, an
intermittent concern may be the cause. Always check for loose connections and corroded pins.
