To verify PSCM C200D:xx is present and provide diagnostics if DTC C200D:xx is currently present and active in the PSCM.

1. BI1: INSPECT THE EPAS WIRING HARNESS AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS 
   • Ignition OFF.
   • Using a good light source, thoroughly inspect the EPAS column wire harness for:
     • cut wires
     • pinched wires
     • broken wires
     • corrosion
   • PSCM_A connector disconnected. (C225A)
   • PSCM_B connector disconnected. (C225B)

     • corrosion
     • damaged or bent pins
     • pushed-out pins
     • spread terminals
   • Are the wire harness and the above electrical connectors in good condition? 

   Yes	No
   Go to  BI2.	If the electrical connectors are not OK, REPAIR or INSTALL new electrical connectors as necessary. If the EPAS column wire harness is not OK, REPAIR the wiring harness as necessary.

2. BI2: CHECK THE PSCM FOR RETURNING DTCS 
   • PSCM_A connector connected. (C225A) Make sure the connector seats and latches correctly.
   • PSCM_A connector connected. (C225A) Make sure the connector seats and latches correctly.
   • Ignition ON, engine OFF.
   • Clear the PSCM DTCs.

   • Is DTC C200D:xx present in the PSCM? 

   Yes	No
   INSTALL a new EPAS steering column. REFER to the Steering Column article. ORDER a replacement EPAS column and INCLUDE the RVC on the order form. If this is a Ford paid repair, INCLUDE the RVC on the warranty claim form.	The condition causing the DTC is not present at this time and may have been caused by a loose or corroded electrical connector. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
