- If circuit OK, replace FTC Module.
4. Connect a fused jumper wire between the signal circuit and ground.
5. The scan tool should indicate Not In Position.
- If the scan tool does not indicate Not In Position, test the signal circuit for an open or high resistance.
- If circuit OK, replace FTC Module.
6. Probe the ground circuit of S17 with a test lamp connected to B+. The test lamp should illuminate.
