Symptom Possible Sources Action
  • No power at the AC power point or the AC power point LED indicator flashes with the key in the ON position.
  • Refer to the Pinpoint Test
  • DISCONNECT all electrical accessories from the AC oulet and VERIFY that cabin temperature is below 75°C (167°F). CYCLE the ignition. TEST the system for normal operation. If the system is operating normally, RETURN the vehicle to the customer. If the AC outlet LED indicator is still flashing, GO to Pinpoint Test A
  • The DC / AC inverter does not operate correctly — the AC power point LED indicator is never on
  • Refer to the Pinpoint Test
  • The AC power point turns off after 13 minutes
  • Refer to the Pinpoint Test

Pinpoint Tests

Diagnostics in this manual assume a certain skill level and knowledge of Ford-specific diagnostic practices.
REFER to: Diagnostic Methods (100-00 General Information, Description and Operation).

No Power at the AC Power Point or the AC Power Point LED Indicator Flashes with the Key in the ON Position


Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 44 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The DC / AC inverter receives 12 volts DC on two circuits and is grounded by another circuit. The incoming DC voltage is internally converted to 60 Hz 110 volts AC voltage that is output to the AC power point.

NOTE: The electrical device that is powered by the AC power point must not exceed 150 watts.

NOTE: If the green LED is flashing, the AC power point may be overloaded, overheated or shorted. Unplug the electrical device from the AC power point and cycle the ignition. Refer to the Owner's Literature to determine if the electrical device is appropriate for the AC power point.

The DC / AC Inverter Does Not Operate Correctly — The AC Power Point LED Indicator is Never On


Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 44 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The DC / AC inverter receives 12 volts DC on two circuits and is grounded by another circuit. The incoming DC voltage is internally converted to 60 Hz 110 volts AC voltage that is output to the AC power point. If a fault in the system is detected, the LED flashes when the key is in the ON position. The LED continuously illuminates if the system is operating correctly when the key is in the ON position. The DC / AC inverter supplies 12V DC and a ground to the LED .

The AC Power Point Turns Off After 13 Minutes


Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 44 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The DC / AC inverter receives a signal from the BCM over the LIN whenever the engine is running. If the DC / AC inverter does not receive this message for 13 minutes, the inverter stops supplying 110 volts to the power outlet and the green LED indicator flashes. The system can be reset by cycling the ignition from ON to OFF and back to ON, however the system only operates for another 13 minutes unless the signal is received from the BCM that the engine is running.

DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
B1330:02 DC/AC Inverter Module: General Signal Failure Sets in the BCM when sets when a general signal failure occurs on the LIN.
B1330:08 DC/AC Inverter Module: Bus Signal / Message Failure Sets in the BCM when there is a LIN communication fault from the DC / AC inverter.
