Pinpoint Tests
Pinpoint Test A: Hard To Open Or Close Door From Either Door Handle
Diagnostic Overview
Diagnostics in this manual assume a certain skill level and knowledge of Ford-specific diagnostic practices. Refer to Diagnostic Methods in Section 100-00 for information about these practices.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The door latch can be actuated from the interior or exterior door handle. When actuated, the door latch releases and allows the door to open. If the door latch or the door hinges have insufficient lubrication or if the striker or door are misaligned, it causes extra force to be used when opening or closing the door.

Pinpoint Test T: DTCs B106E, B106F
Diagnostic Overview
Diagnostics in this manual assume a certain skill level and knowledge of Ford-specific diagnostic practices. Refer to Diagnostic Methods in Section 100-00 for information about these practices.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The DDM controls the output of several vehicle systems by means of solid state drivers. A DTC sets when an overload occurs on any of these drivers. The module also tracks the number of repetitive faults on each of these circuits, and then it compares that number of overloads to 3 progressive thresholds established for each circuit. If the third threshold has not been met, the DTC for the affected circuit can be cleared by eliminating the fault, clearing the DTCs and then running a self-test.
At the point that each of the first 2 thresholds is met, DTC B106E sets along with a DTC related to the affected circuit. Once the final (third) threshold has been met, the affected output is permanently disabled, and DTC B106F sets, at which time the DDM must be replaced.
DDM DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
When DTC B1342 is set because the module has reached a third threshold and the DDM has permanently disabled an output, no DTCs can be cleared from the DDM. Using the module self-test to confirm a repair is not possible and a measurement using a digital multimeter of the affected output circuit is required to make sure the fault condition no longer exists.
