Pinpoint Test H: DTCs B2900 and C1805
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 42 (Fusion/Milan/MKZ, Fusion Hybrid/Milan Hybrid), Vehicle Dynamic Systems for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number
Normal Operation
When the ignition is turned to the RUN position, the ABS module and the PCM share Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) information over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) bus.
- DTC B2900 ( VIN Mismatched) - If the VIN information stored in the ABS module does not match the information transmitted by the PCM, DTC B2900 will set.
- DTC C1805 (Mismatched PCM and/or ABS Module) - If the VIN information stored in the ABS module does not match the information transmitted by the PCM, DTC C1805 will set.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Module configuration (ABS and PCM)
- ABS module
PINPOINT TEST H: DTCs B2900 AND C1805
-------------------------------------------------
H1 VERIFY PCM VIN
- Connect the scan tool.
- Ignition ON.
- Using the scan tool, carry out the Network Test.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Log Viewer.
- Compare the VIN in Log Viewer to the vehicle VIN plate.

Yes
GO to H2.
No
RECONFIGURE the PCM. FOLLOW the instructions on the scan tool. CLEAR the DTCs. CYCLE the ignition key. REPEAT the self-test.
