connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
-
Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes |
CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSB s. If a TSB exists for this concern,
DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSB s address
this concern, INSTALL a new upper active grille shutter actuator. REFER to: Active Grille Shutter Actuator (501-02 Front End Body Panels, Removal and Installation). CLEAR the DTC
s. REPEAT the self-test. If the concern is still present, contact the
Ford Technician Hotline.
