battery ground cable is not disconnected before arc welding is done to the vehicle, This occurs
because the arc welding process can produce high electrical currents in the body of a vehicle when
the negative battery ground cable is left connected.
ACTION: If arc welding procedures are to be performed, be sure to disconnect the battery ground
cable,
CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY GROUND CABLE BEFORE USING ANY

Low mileage vehicles may experience an intermittent no start or stall at idle. This concern can be
experienced on all 1986 production vehicles or on vehicles that have had a TFI IV Ignition Module
Service replaced using part number E3EF-12A297-AlA.
If an internal short circuit occurs in some recently manufactured TFI IV Ignition Modules (part
number suffix A1A), the Hall sensor may become shorted to ground. At the moment of short, the
EEC processor will not receive a PIP signal and the vehicle will not start or may stall at idle. The
concern has been isolated to TFIIV Ignition Modules with a part number that contains the A1A
suffix and a manufacturing date code of 5FOl (85 June 01) through 6D17 (86 April 17). The date
code is heat stamped on the module connector shroud.
1. Follow normal Shop Manual, Volume H service procedures.
NOTE: This concern can be an intermittent condition and Intermittent Diagnostic Procedures may
have to be followed.
2. If replacement of the TFI IV Ignition Module is indicated, assure that service replacement part
contains a part number with a suffix of A2A or one with a suffix of A1A and a manufacturing date
code before 5FOl or after 6D17.

CALIBRATIONS: All with TFI Systems
If the TFI module fails and causes a short to ground, the primary winding of the ignition coil can be
damaged. The TFI diagnostic procedure published in the Shop Manual will not identify this
condition.
When servicing a weak or no spark condition, perform the following:
1. Check for spark using the procedures found in the Manual Information, Computerized Engine,
Quick Test Section, Test 1.
2. If there is no spark, test the coil primary resistance using Rotunda digital volt-ohmmeter
007-00001, as shown.
3. If the coil primary resistance is O.K., continue with the diagnostic procedure in Test 1.
4. If the coil primary resistance is not O.K., replace the coil and recheck for weak or no spark. If the
spark is now O.K., the problem is resolved.
5. If the spark is still NOT O.K., continue with normal diagnostic procedure in Test 1.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1985-93 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES
ISSUE: Spark knock may be caused by variability in ignition PIP (Profile Ignition Pick-up) output
due to a combination of engine torsional vibrations and distributor electrical characteristics. A spark
advance spike is generated which repeats every eight firings.
ACTION: Perform the following Service Bay Diagnostic System procedure and, if necessary,
replace the distributor.
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING SBDS PROCEDURE MUST BE USED TO VERIFY IF THE SPECIFIED
CONDITION EXISTS ON A GIVEN EFI/TFI 5.0L/5.8L ENGINE. DISTRIBUTORS ON ENGINES
THAT HAVE A DETONATION CONCERN AND THAT DO NOT PASS THE SBDS TEST MUST
BE RETURNED THROUGH WARRANTY WITH A "BEFORE AND AFTER" PRINTOUT OF THE
SBDS IGNITION GRAPH (WITH THE SPIKING CLEARLY SHOWN) TO QUALIFY FOR
REIMBURSEMENT.
SERVICE BAY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM PROCEDURE
1. Use SBDS 60 pin roadtest monitor/record. Select parameters PIP and Spout.
2. Start the warm engine and idle for at least two (2) minutes to allow EEC IV to learn and correct
for normal PIP variance.
a. Record data using PVA pendant.
b. Store the data in a buffer.
3. Upload the data to the Cart and go to the playback graph mode.
4. Select Digital PIP and analog spark. Move the cursor to the smoothest (least noise) section of
the spark curve, Figure 1.

Bulletins for Ignition Control Module: > 931310 > Jun > 93 > Engine - Spark Knock Diagnostic Procedure > Page 210
5. Zoom in on the recording as much as possible. Look for timing spikes that REPEAT EVERY
EIGHTH FIRING OF THE DIGITAL PIP SIGNAL, Figure 2.
6. Move the cursor across all spikes to read the timing difference.
NOTE: THE SPARK ADVANCE WILL SPIKE UPWARD AT LEAST 20 ON SUSPECT VEHICLES.
7. Print the graph for warranty use.
^ Downward spikes would indicate a retarded spark condition and will NOT cause detonation.

Bulletins for Ignition Control Module: > 931310 > Jun > 93 > Engine - Spark Knock Diagnostic Procedure > Page 211
^ Graphs without spikes (Figure 3) indicate that the distributor is NOT to be replaced.
8. If spiking is found, replace the distributor with the appropriate 12127 assembly. Refer to the
Dealer Master Parts Catalog for correct parts usage.
a. Reuse the TFI module, cap and rotor.
b. Rerun the procedure and PRINT THE NEW GRAPH to verify that the new distributor corrected
the spark knock condition.
c. Do not disassemble or rebuild the old distributor.
d. Return the distributor with the "before and after" graphs to the Warranty Parts Return Center.

ISSUE: Stalling and/or a no-start condition on vehicles with EEC IV and certain TFI modules may
be caused by moisture or salt splash entering at the upper right hand mounting hole of the TFI
module housing. This condition will result in a service code 14.
ACTION: To correct this, use the following diagnostic and service procedure to seal the hole and
prevent further concerns.
NOTE: The distributor does not have to be removed to perform this repair.
1. Check to see if the TFI-IV module part number suffix is A2A and the date code is 6K08 or prior,
(mounting hole was sealed after 6K08). If the suffix is not A2A, use normal diagnostic procedures
and do not perform Steps 2 and 3.
2. Thoroughly clean and dry upper right hand mounting hole of the TFI module with a clean paper
towel.
3. Fill the cleaned hole with silicone grease (D7AZ-19A331-A).
4. Clear service code 14 from memory.

Low mileage vehicles may experience an intermittent no start or stall at idle. This concern can be
experienced on all 1986 production vehicles or on vehicles that have had a TFI IV Ignition Module
Service replaced using part number E3EF-12A297-AlA.
If an internal short circuit occurs in some recently manufactured TFI IV Ignition Modules (part
number suffix A1A), the Hall sensor may become shorted to ground. At the moment of short, the
EEC processor will not receive a PIP signal and the vehicle will not start or may stall at idle. The
concern has been isolated to TFIIV Ignition Modules with a part number that contains the A1A
suffix and a manufacturing date code of 5FOl (85 June 01) through 6D17 (86 April 17). The date
code is heat stamped on the module connector shroud.
1. Follow normal Shop Manual, Volume H service procedures.
NOTE: This concern can be an intermittent condition and Intermittent Diagnostic Procedures may
have to be followed.
2. If replacement of the TFI IV Ignition Module is indicated, assure that service replacement part
contains a part number with a suffix of A2A or one with a suffix of A1A and a manufacturing date
code before 5FOl or after 6D17.

If your voltmeter has a high impedance, it will not draw enough current to show a voltage drop
when testing TFI power circuits for resistive connections. To assure an accurate test, attach a test
light between the circuit being tested and ground as shown. The light will draw current through the
connection and allow measurement of the voltage drop so a resistive connection can be identified.
IMPORTANT Do not use a test light while monitoring the PIP or SPOUT signal. The test light draws
more current than the signal circuit can supply. The test light should be used only on power circuits.

CALIBRATIONS: All with TFI Systems
If the TFI module fails and causes a short to ground, the primary winding of the ignition coil can be
damaged. The TFI diagnostic procedure published in the Shop Manual will not identify this
condition.
When servicing a weak or no spark condition, perform the following:
1. Check for spark using the procedures found in the Manual Information, Computerized Engine,
Quick Test Section, Test 1.
2. If there is no spark, test the coil primary resistance using Rotunda digital volt-ohmmeter
007-00001, as shown.
3. If the coil primary resistance is O.K., continue with the diagnostic procedure in Test 1.
4. If the coil primary resistance is not O.K., replace the coil and recheck for weak or no spark. If the
spark is now O.K., the problem is resolved.
5. If the spark is still NOT O.K., continue with normal diagnostic procedure in Test 1.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1985-93 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES
ISSUE: Spark knock may be caused by variability in ignition PIP (Profile Ignition Pick-up) output
due to a combination of engine torsional vibrations and distributor electrical characteristics. A spark
advance spike is generated which repeats every eight firings.
ACTION: Perform the following Service Bay Diagnostic System procedure and, if necessary,
replace the distributor.
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING SBDS PROCEDURE MUST BE USED TO VERIFY IF THE SPECIFIED
CONDITION EXISTS ON A GIVEN EFI/TFI 5.0L/5.8L ENGINE. DISTRIBUTORS ON ENGINES
THAT HAVE A DETONATION CONCERN AND THAT DO NOT PASS THE SBDS TEST MUST
BE RETURNED THROUGH WARRANTY WITH A "BEFORE AND AFTER" PRINTOUT OF THE
SBDS IGNITION GRAPH (WITH THE SPIKING CLEARLY SHOWN) TO QUALIFY FOR
REIMBURSEMENT.
SERVICE BAY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM PROCEDURE
1. Use SBDS 60 pin roadtest monitor/record. Select parameters PIP and Spout.
2. Start the warm engine and idle for at least two (2) minutes to allow EEC IV to learn and correct
for normal PIP variance.
a. Record data using PVA pendant.
b. Store the data in a buffer.
3. Upload the data to the Cart and go to the playback graph mode.
4. Select Digital PIP and analog spark. Move the cursor to the smoothest (least noise) section of
the spark curve, Figure 1.

Bulletins for Ignition Control Module: > 931310 > Jun > 93 > Engine - Spark Knock Diagnostic Procedure > Page 266
5. Zoom in on the recording as much as possible. Look for timing spikes that REPEAT EVERY
EIGHTH FIRING OF THE DIGITAL PIP SIGNAL, Figure 2.
6. Move the cursor across all spikes to read the timing difference.
NOTE: THE SPARK ADVANCE WILL SPIKE UPWARD AT LEAST 20 ON SUSPECT VEHICLES.
7. Print the graph for warranty use.
^ Downward spikes would indicate a retarded spark condition and will NOT cause detonation.

If your voltmeter has a high impedance, it will not draw enough current to show a voltage drop
when testing TFI power circuits for resistive connections. To assure an accurate test, attach a test
light between the circuit being tested and ground as shown. The light will draw current through the
connection and allow measurement of the voltage drop so a resistive connection can be identified.
IMPORTANT Do not use a test light while monitoring the PIP or SPOUT signal. The test light draws
more current than the signal circuit can supply. The test light should be used only on power circuits.

Ignition Control Module: Description and Operation
Thick Film Ignition Module
The TFI IV ignition module, Fig. 14, has six connector pins at the wiring harness that supplies the
following signals:
Run Crank (start) Tach (coil) PIP (crankshaft position to ECA) Spark output (SPOUT from ECA)
Internal ground from the ECA to the distributor
Ignition System
The TFI IV module supplies the spark to the distributor through the ignition coil and calculates the
duration. It receives its control signal from the ECA (SPOUT) Fig. 29.
NOTE: Some later models use a remote module (Closed Bowl Distributors/CBD). It is located in the
engine compartment (Refer to "COMPONENT LOCATIONS"). The operation is essentially the
same with the exception of the CBD has a wiring harness between the ignition module and the
distributor.

Fig. 7 Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
The ECT, Fig. 7, sensor detects the temperature of engine coolant and supplies information to the
ECA assembly. The ECT sensor is threaded into the heater outlet fitting on the engine. For engine
control applications, the ECT signal is used to modify ignition timing, EGR flow and air/fuel mixture.
On models with an electronic instrument cluster, the ECT output is used to control the coolant
temperature indicator.

Brake Switch (Cruise Control): Testing and Inspection
Perform this test only when brake application will not disconnect the speed control system.
1. Check operation of stop lamps by applying approximately 6 lbs. of pressure to brake pedal. If
more than 6 lbs. is required, check brake pedal actuation and stop lamp switch.
2. If stop lamps do not function properly, check bulbs, circuit fuse or stop lamp switch.
3. If stop lamps function properly, check for battery voltage at 6 way connector using black wire
w/green stripe on 1980 models, 1981-83 E-100-350 and 1984-87 E-150-350 series, or white wire
w/pink stripe on 1981-82 F-100-350 and Bronco series, or white wire w/purple stripe on 1983
F-100-350, Bronco and Ranger, 1984-87 F-150-350, Ranger, 1984-87 Bronco II and 1986-87
Aerostar.
4. Depress brake pedal until stop lamps are illuminated. Check voltage at red wire w/black stripe on
1980 models, 1981-83 E-100-350 and 1984-87 E-150-350 models, or the light green wire on
1981-83 F-100-350 and Bronco, 1984-87 F-150-350 and Bronco, 1983-87 Ranger, 1984-87 Bronco
II and 1986-87 Aerostar. The difference between the two voltage readings must not exceed 1.5
volts. If voltage is greater, a high resistance exists in the circuit and must be found and corrected.

Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Description and Operation
The vane air flow meter measures air flowing into the engine and is mounted between the air
cleaner and the throttle body assembly. The meter contains a movable vane directly connected to a
potentiometer. Air rushing through the vane air flow meter, changes the position of the vane and
potentiometer. The potentiometer relays vane position information to the EEC-IV module. The
EEC-IV module, then translates vane position information into the amount of air flowing into the
engine. An air temperature sensor is incorporated within the vane air flow meter. This sensor
constantly monitors air temperature entering the engine and also transmits the information to the
EEC-IV module. The EEC-IV module receives, then computes the air flow and air temperature
information and adjusts the fuel flow to obtain the optimum air/fuel mixture required.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 2 Air charge temperature (ACT) sensor
This sensor, Fig. 2, provides the EFI system with air/fuel mixture temperature information. The air
charge temperature sensor is used both as a density corrector to air flow calculation and to
proportion the cold enrichment fuel flow. This sensor is similar in construction to the engine coolant
temperature sensor and is mounted on an intake manifold runner or on the air cleaner.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
Knock Sensor
The knock sensor, Fig. 11, is a piezo-electric accelerator accelerometer with the sensor designed
to resonate at approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency.. The sensor uses
the resonant frequency to mechanically amplify the engine knock frequency (5-6 KHz).
This method allows relatively large signals to be achieved without electrical amplification. The
sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two-pin integral connector.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to update model applicability and to revise the
part number of the Low Volatility Sealant.
ISSUE: EGO sensors can be contaminated if volatile types of silicone are used when servicing the
engine. Volatile silicones can migrate throughout the system during the first one hundred hours of
service. They are commonly found in liquid "silicone rubber" sealants and gasket material. These
products are commonly sold in tubes and caulking-type cartridges.
ACTION: When service is performed on the engine, only use new low volatility silicone sealant
(F1AZ-19662-A) where specified. Also replace the contaminated EGO sensor if required.
CAUTION: DO NOT SUBSTITUTE CONVENTIONAL SILICONE RUBBER SEALANTS WHEN
LOW VOLATILITY SILICONE SEALANT IS SPECIFIED.

CALIBRATION: All with EEC IV
WARNING: This modification is authorized only for the listed engines. Performing this modification
on other engine calibrations is unauthorized and could create liability under applicable federal or
local laws.
A new design Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) has been released for all 1986 EEC IV applications.
The new TPS is designed to eliminate a false Self-Test Code 53. A Code 53 indicates the TPS
system has failed at the wide open throttle position (approximately 5.0 volts), The new TPS
eliminates false Code 53 by limiting the wide open throttle voltage to 4.75 volts. With the new TPS,
Code 53 will only result from a circuit or TPS malfunction.
The new Throttle Position Sensors can be used to replace faulty sensors on 1985 vehicles. If the
old design service part is used, a false Code 53 may result.

ISSUE: All Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) mounting screws have a "Pozidrive" head. The
"Pozidrive" head looks a lot like a Phillips screw head. Use of a Phillips head screwdriver to remove
a "Pozidrive" screw will normally result in a rounded or damaged screw head. Many technicians
think it is an overtorqued or "frozen" screw. An adhesive was also used as a thread sealant starting
with the 1988 model year. This adhesive requires still more effort to loosen and remove the screw.
ACTION: To prevent rounded or damages screw heads when servicing the TPS mounting screws,
technicians should always use a # 2 "Pozidrive" screwdriver.

The emission maintenance warning system functions with two microprocessor modules. One
module is the inferred mileage sensor (IMS) and the other is the emission maintenance warning
(EMW) module. The IMS module is not part of the emission light circuit. The IMS module sends a
signal to the engine control assembly (ECA) at a predetermined time which then automatically
makes appropriate internal emission control adjustments.
The EMW module is a timing device that turns the "EMISSIONS" light on at approximately 60,000
miles, indicating required emission system maintenance. 1985 light trucks built prior to January
1985 have a non-resetable EMW module and require part replacement if the "EMISSIONS" light
stays on. Later vehicles are equipped with a resetable EMW module and can be reset as described
in the 1985 Car/LightTruck EngineElectrical-Emissions Shop Manual, page 18-6. An additional
EMW module is available and is used only for vehicles with approximately 30,000 miles. This
module will ensure that the "EMISSIONS" light will still be illuminated as required at 60,000 miles.
Locations for the EMW/IMS modules are as follows:
Model Location
F Series Left side of steering column on instruEconoline ment panel support.
Bronco
Aerostar Left side of steering column mounted on the EEC-IV processor bracket.
Ranger Behind and above the glove box.
Bronco II Mounted on the instrument panel. (May require glove box removal.)
The IMS and EMW modules are located side by side. The EMW module is the only part that
normally requires replacement. It can be identified by a "RESET" sticker and brown plastic housing.
The IMS module is black in color and has no stickers.
Figure 13 - Module Flange
Installation Note
E/F Series and Bronco access is limited. Installing a new module may require slotting of the upper
mounting hole on the module flange (see Figure 13). This allows starting of the upper screw in the
instrument panel support so the module can then be slid under the screw head before tightening.

Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Description and Operation
The vane air flow meter measures air flowing into the engine and is mounted between the air
cleaner and the throttle body assembly. The meter contains a movable vane directly connected to a
potentiometer. Air rushing through the vane air flow meter, changes the position of the vane and
potentiometer. The potentiometer relays vane position information to the EEC-IV module. The
EEC-IV module, then translates vane position information into the amount of air flowing into the
engine. An air temperature sensor is incorporated within the vane air flow meter. This sensor
constantly monitors air temperature entering the engine and also transmits the information to the
EEC-IV module. The EEC-IV module receives, then computes the air flow and air temperature
information and adjusts the fuel flow to obtain the optimum air/fuel mixture required.

CALIBRATION: All with EEC IV
WARNING: This modification is authorized only for the listed engines. Performing this modification
on other engine calibrations is unauthorized and could create liability under applicable federal or
local laws.
A new design Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) has been released for all 1986 EEC IV applications.
The new TPS is designed to eliminate a false Self-Test Code 53. A Code 53 indicates the TPS
system has failed at the wide open throttle position (approximately 5.0 volts), The new TPS
eliminates false Code 53 by limiting the wide open throttle voltage to 4.75 volts. With the new TPS,
Code 53 will only result from a circuit or TPS malfunction.
The new Throttle Position Sensors can be used to replace faulty sensors on 1985 vehicles. If the
old design service part is used, a false Code 53 may result.

ISSUE: All Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) mounting screws have a "Pozidrive" head. The
"Pozidrive" head looks a lot like a Phillips screw head. Use of a Phillips head screwdriver to remove
a "Pozidrive" screw will normally result in a rounded or damaged screw head. Many technicians
think it is an overtorqued or "frozen" screw. An adhesive was also used as a thread sealant starting
with the 1988 model year. This adhesive requires still more effort to loosen and remove the screw.
ACTION: To prevent rounded or damages screw heads when servicing the TPS mounting screws,
technicians should always use a # 2 "Pozidrive" screwdriver.

The above concerns can be caused by the distributor Hall Effect sensor. When the above concerns
occur only at cold temperatures and the engine starts and runs satisfactorily when warm, use the
first diagnostic procedure. If the concern is no start, use the second procedure.
If a T.F.I. is removed from the distributor and the stator connector is soft or mushy, replace the
stator.

Hall Effect Sensor: Description and Operation
Profile Ignition Pickup
The PIP signal is created in the Hall Effect and Stator assembly and indicates crankshaft position
and engine RPM Fig. 21. The PIP signal is fed to both the TFI module and the ECA.
PIP Sensor
COMPONENTS The Hall Effect device is made up of a voltage regulator, a Hall voltage generator,
Darlington amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and an open collector output stage integrated in a single
monolithic silicon chip Fig. 22. A signal is produced when a ferrous material is passed through the
opening and the flux lines decrease. The Hall generator (Hall device) sends a sine wave signal to
the Darlington amplifier. The Darlington amplifier inverts the signal. When the signal is low the
output is high. When the signal is high the output is low. This output then goes to the Schmitt
trigger. The Schmitt trigger shapes the signal into a square wave (digital high) signal.
Ford E 150 Van Workshop Manual (V8-302 5.0L (1985))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Ignition System > Hall Effect Sensor, Ignition > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 684
PIP Signal Operation
OPERATION The output signal to the Darlington amplifier is high when the window (on the
armature) allows the magnetic field to reach the Hall device (switch off) Fig. 23. When the TAB
shunts the magnetic field (closes) away from the Hall device the signal is low to the Darlington
amplifier (switch on).
Hall Effect Sensor
In other words when one of the windows or openings is in the gap between the Hall device and the
permanent magnet, the field stays strong and the voltage is high since the magnetic path is
complete from the magnet, through the Hall device, and back to the magnet. In this case the switch
is off and the Hall Effect does not send a signal. When the TAB enters the gap, the armature cuts
off the magnetic path to the Hall device and its voltage drops. In this case the switch is on and the
Hall Effect device sends a signal. The signal is switched On and Off as long as the armature is
rotating (distributor is turning) and opening and closing the magnetic path. This is the signal used
by the ECA to interpret crankshaft position and engine RPM. The signal can also be used by the
TFI module if the SPOUT signal from the ECA is lost.

Signature PIP
SIGNATURE PIP Some Electronic Engine Control (EEC) vehicles are equipped with a signature
profile ignition pickup signal. The regular type armature used for the PIP signal has the same size
tabs and windows. In a signature PIP signal armature, one of the tabs is narrower than the others
Fig. 25. The narrower tab provides a different signal to the ECA when it passes through the Hall
Effect switch. When the ECA sees the narrow tab it knows when to properly pulse the fuel injectors.
This system is used on cars and trucks where the ECA needs to know when to pulse certain
injectors. For example, on sequential electronic fuel injection (SEFI) systems, each injector is
pulsed to coincide with its intake valve opening. With the signature PIP, the ECA knows when the
No. 1 cylinder needs to be supplied with fuel.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
Knock Sensor
The knock sensor, Fig. 11, is a piezo-electric accelerator accelerometer with the sensor designed
to resonate at approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency.. The sensor uses
the resonant frequency to mechanically amplify the engine knock frequency (5-6 KHz).
This method allows relatively large signals to be achieved without electrical amplification. The
sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two-pin integral connector.

STEERING - DRIFT/PULL - RUBBER BALL SOCKET LINKAGE WIND-UP
LIGHT TRUCK 1985-86 E, F SERIES, BRONCO
Complaints of drifts and pulls on certain 1985-86 E, F Series and Bronco models may be caused
by the installation procedure of the steering linkage. BECAUSE THE RUBBER TENDS TO
RETURN TO ITS INSTALLED POSITION, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE INSTALLATION BE
ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE FRONT WHEELS AND THE PITMAN ARM IN THE STRAIGHT
AHEAD POSITION, AND THE STUD SEATED IN THE TAPERED HOLE PRIOR TO TIGHTENING
THE NUTS. Care should be taken with the installation to prevent a drift condition.
To diagnose if a preload in the rubber is causing the drift, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Loosen the studs in the tapered holes at the pitman arm and the left and right spindles (i.e.,
disengage the stud from the hole so that it is no longer seated).
2. Hand install the nuts so that the stud is free to turn inside the tapered hole.
3. INSTALL COTTER PINS IN ALL THE STUDS.
4. Drive the vehicle. If it no longer drifts, then it can be assumed that the rubber was causing the
drift. If it continues to drift, the condition is NOT being caused by the rubber ball sockets.
5. In either case, do not replace the steering linkage.
Reinstall the linkage as follows:
F Series and Bronco
1. Ensure the pitman arm and wheels are in the straight ahead position. (The pitman arm is exactly
straight ahead when the clear vision is at 0~.)
2. Lock the steering wheel straight ahead and loose assemble the steering linkage to the pitman
arm and then to the spindles.
3. Being careful not to change the position of the pitman arm, torque the steering linkage nuts to 65
ft.lbs. (88.1 N-m) The recommended sequence for tightening is: 1) the pitman arm, 2) the right side
spindle and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in if necessary.
Econoline
1. Ensure that the wheels are in the straight ahead position.
2. Loose assemble the steering linkage to the spindles and the pitman arm.
3. Being careful not to move the wheels from the straight ahead position, torque the steering
linkage nuts to 65 ft.lbs. The recommended tightening sequence is: 1) the right side spindle, 2) the
pitman arm and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in and reset the clear vision if necessary.
The above procedure will eliminate any of the drift being caused by the rubber ball sockets. If the
vehicle still drifts, refer to Section 19 of the Light Truck Shop Manual for further diagnosis.

STEERING - DRIFT/PULL CASTER SPLIT ADJUSTMENT
LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F250-350 4x2; 1976-86 E100-350
A side-to-side front wheel caster difference greater than 3/4 degree can contribute to a vehicle drift
or pull in the direction of the side with less caster. The service kit (E5TZ-3K064-A) can be used to
increase the front wheel caster angle on either or both wheels to balance the caster split to correct
a vehicle drift/pull concern. The kit contains complete parts and instructions needed to modify the
front radius arm and mount a metal cam on the bottom flange of the radius arm. The kit can
increase caster from 1/2 degree to 3 degrees, in 1/2 degree increments. It is not designed to
decrease caster.
To increase front wheel caster angle of subject vehicles and/or to balance a caster split, the
following procedure is suggested:
1. Remove the radius arm from the vehicle as shown in Section 14-21 of the Reference Shop
Manual and choose the appropriate paper template applicable to the vehicle model.
Figure 8 - POSITIONING TEMPLATE TO LOWER FLANGE OF RADIUS ARM
2. Locate the template (3B474) on the bottom flange of the radius arm. Refer to Figure 8 for a
typical arm modification for the right hand radius arm. One template per vehicle model is used to
modify both the right and left hand radius arms. When modifying the right hand arm, position the

template with the printed side downward. The template locates off of one of two existing holes in
the radius arm. The E100-350 template is shaped to match the contours of the radius arm.

3. With template secure, make a punch mark at the center of the small hole inside the printed
circle. Scribe the slot printed/cut-out on the template and die-grind out the slot at the axle-attaching
hole the same size as the slot in the template and de-burr the surface avoiding rounding the edges
of the slot. Refer to Figure 9.

4. Drill a 0.228 inch diameter hole at the punch mark. Use this hole to mount the adjusting cam with
the 1/4-20 self-tapping screw supplied. Refer to Figure 10.
5. Figure 10 shows a typical cam installation. Each hole in the cam represents a 1/2 degree caster
increase. A caster increase of approximately 2 degrees for the E100-350, for example, will be
obtained by mounting the cam with the selftapping screw in the No. 2 hole of the cam to the lower
flange of the radius arm.

upward slightly to help install and seat the axles. Do not use heat to bend.
7. Reset front wheel toe after installation is complete. AFTER THE DESIRED ALIGNMENT IS
ASSURED THE CAM MUST BE WELDED TO THE ARM ARC WELD ONE INCH MINIMUM

TIRE WEAR - FRONT - OUTSIDE EDGE
LIGHT TRUCK 1976-86 E100-150
Outboard shoulder wear, predominantly in lightly loaded city-delivery type use, is aggravated by
excessive positive wheel camber in turning. The caster adjustment kit described in TSB 85-19-15
can be used to increase caster of either wheel up to 3 degrees in 1/2 degree increments. The kit
contains complete instructions for modifying the front radius arms and mounting a metal adjusting
cam to the bottom flange of each radius arm. Cams must be arc-welded a minimum of one inch
along two sides of the cam to the lower flange of the radius arm.
Increasing caster the full 3 degrees effectively reduces camber of the outboard wheel in a turn 1.5
degrees. Increasing caster more than 3 degrees is not recommended since this may cause
complaints of wheel shimmy and/or excessive steering efforts. Also, caster should not be increased
on vehicles built since April 1, 1984. These vehicles have the 3 degree caster increase already built
into the axles which have axle part numbers E4UA-6-BA and E4UA-7-BA embossed on the face of
each axle.
Three other significant factors may also contribute to outboard shoulder wear. They are excessive
toe-in (generally greater than 5/32 inch), excessive cornering speeds, and low tire pressure. After
any adjustments to front end alignment, toe should be adjusted to zero. On vehicles subject to
extensive city-delivery use, toe may be set up to 1/16 inch toe-out for optimum tire life.

TIRE WEAR - FRONT - OUTSIDE EDGE
LIGHT TRUCK 1976-86 E100-150
Outboard shoulder wear, predominantly in lightly loaded city-delivery type use, is aggravated by
excessive positive wheel camber in turning. The caster adjustment kit described in TSB 85-19-15
can be used to increase caster of either wheel up to 3 degrees in 1/2 degree increments. The kit
contains complete instructions for modifying the front radius arms and mounting a metal adjusting
cam to the bottom flange of each radius arm. Cams must be arc-welded a minimum of one inch
along two sides of the cam to the lower flange of the radius arm.
Increasing caster the full 3 degrees effectively reduces camber of the outboard wheel in a turn 1.5
degrees. Increasing caster more than 3 degrees is not recommended since this may cause
complaints of wheel shimmy and/or excessive steering efforts. Also, caster should not be increased
on vehicles built since April 1, 1984. These vehicles have the 3 degree caster increase already built
into the axles which have axle part numbers E4UA-6-BA and E4UA-7-BA embossed on the face of
each axle.
Three other significant factors may also contribute to outboard shoulder wear. They are excessive
toe-in (generally greater than 5/32 inch), excessive cornering speeds, and low tire pressure. After
any adjustments to front end alignment, toe should be adjusted to zero. On vehicles subject to
extensive city-delivery use, toe may be set up to 1/16 inch toe-out for optimum tire life.

STEERING - DRIFT/PULL - RUBBER BALL SOCKET LINKAGE WIND-UP
LIGHT TRUCK 1985-86 E, F SERIES, BRONCO
Complaints of drifts and pulls on certain 1985-86 E, F Series and Bronco models may be caused
by the installation procedure of the steering linkage. BECAUSE THE RUBBER TENDS TO
RETURN TO ITS INSTALLED POSITION, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE INSTALLATION BE
ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE FRONT WHEELS AND THE PITMAN ARM IN THE STRAIGHT
AHEAD POSITION, AND THE STUD SEATED IN THE TAPERED HOLE PRIOR TO TIGHTENING
THE NUTS. Care should be taken with the installation to prevent a drift condition.
To diagnose if a preload in the rubber is causing the drift, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Loosen the studs in the tapered holes at the pitman arm and the left and right spindles (i.e.,
disengage the stud from the hole so that it is no longer seated).
2. Hand install the nuts so that the stud is free to turn inside the tapered hole.
3. INSTALL COTTER PINS IN ALL THE STUDS.
4. Drive the vehicle. If it no longer drifts, then it can be assumed that the rubber was causing the
drift. If it continues to drift, the condition is NOT being caused by the rubber ball sockets.
5. In either case, do not replace the steering linkage.
Reinstall the linkage as follows:
F Series and Bronco
1. Ensure the pitman arm and wheels are in the straight ahead position. (The pitman arm is exactly
straight ahead when the clear vision is at 0~.)
2. Lock the steering wheel straight ahead and loose assemble the steering linkage to the pitman
arm and then to the spindles.
3. Being careful not to change the position of the pitman arm, torque the steering linkage nuts to 65
ft.lbs. (88.1 N-m) The recommended sequence for tightening is: 1) the pitman arm, 2) the right side
spindle and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in if necessary.
Econoline
1. Ensure that the wheels are in the straight ahead position.
2. Loose assemble the steering linkage to the spindles and the pitman arm.
3. Being careful not to move the wheels from the straight ahead position, torque the steering
linkage nuts to 65 ft.lbs. The recommended tightening sequence is: 1) the right side spindle, 2) the
pitman arm and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in and reset the clear vision if necessary.
The above procedure will eliminate any of the drift being caused by the rubber ball sockets. If the
vehicle still drifts, refer to Section 19 of the Light Truck Shop Manual for further diagnosis.

Complaints of drifts and pulls on certain 1985-86 E, F Series and Bronco models may be caused
by the installation procedure of the steering linkage. BECAUSE THE RUBBER TENDS TO

ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE FRONT WHEELS AND THE PITMAN ARM IN THE STRAIGHT
AHEAD POSITION, AND THE STUD SEATED IN THE TAPERED HOLE PRIOR TO TIGHTENING

To diagnose if a preload in the rubber is causing the drift, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Loosen the studs in the tapered holes at the pitman arm and the left and right spindles (i.e.,
disengage the stud from the hole so that it is no longer seated).
2. Hand install the nuts so that the stud is free to turn inside the tapered hole.
3. INSTALL COTTER PINS IN ALL THE STUDS.
4. Drive the vehicle. If it no longer drifts, then it can be assumed that the rubber was causing the
drift. If it continues to drift, the condition is NOT being caused by the rubber ball sockets.
5. In either case, do not replace the steering linkage.
Reinstall the linkage as follows:
F Series and Bronco
1. Ensure the pitman arm and wheels are in the straight ahead position. (The pitman arm is exactly
straight ahead when the clear vision is at 0~.)
2. Lock the steering wheel straight ahead and loose assemble the steering linkage to the pitman
arm and then to the spindles.
3. Being careful not to change the position of the pitman arm, torque the steering linkage nuts to 65
ft.lbs. (88.1 N-m) The recommended sequence for tightening is: 1) the pitman arm, 2) the right side
spindle and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in if necessary.

Fig. 8 Measuring Riding Height
Prior to checking caster and camber, ensure vehicle front ride height is within {1/8} inch side to side
1980-87 E-100-350. On 1980-87 F-100-350 models, the left side ride height should be within
0-{3/8} inch higher than the right side ride height. On 1980-87 F-150-350 (4x4) and Bronco, the
front ride heights should be within {3/16} inch side to side. Refer to Figs. 6, 7 and 8. If the vehicle
ride heights are not within specifications, redistribute load on loaded vehicles or slightly load empty
vehicles on one side. If the ride heights cannot be brought within specifications, verify correct
spring installation. The ride height variations stated, are for checking purposes only. The vehicle
does not have to operate within these specifications. Check and correct as necessary all tire
inflation pressures, then check front tires for the same size, ply rating and load range. Check front
wheel bearings and adjust as necessary. If all the above checks have been made, check wheel
alignment with suitable alignment equipment. Using the ride heights obtained earlier, compare
caster and camber readings to those listed in the ``Wheel Alignment Specifications Chart''. If the
caster and camber angles exceed the specifications, inspect front end for damaged suspension
components. Replace as necessary. Alignment equipment indicates a true reading only when the
vehicle's frame is horizontal. Therefore, if the frame is not level (due to tire, spring or load
differences), the caster angle reading must be modified to compensate for the frame angles. If the
front is higher than the rear, subtract the amount of angle from the reading. If the front is lower than
the rear, add the angle. To check frame angle, use a spirit protractor, and take the frame angle
measurement on the lower frame flange at the flat area immediately adjacent to the rear spring
front hanger.
1980-85 4 X 2 MODELS EXC. 1982-85 F-100-350 W/BALL JOINTS
The camber and caster angles are designed into the front end and are not adjustable.
TOE-IN, ADJUST Check the steering wheel spoke position when the front wheels are in the
straight ahead position. If the spokes are not in the normal position, they can be adjusted while
toe-in is being adjusted.
1. Loosen clamp bolts on each tie rod end sleeve.
2. Adjust toe-in. If steering wheel spokes are in their normal position, lengthen or shorten both rods
equally to obtain correct toe-in. If spokes are not in normal position, make necessary rod
adjustments to obtain correct toe-in and steering wheel spoke alignment.

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.

Fuel Pressure Release: Service and Repair
CAUTION: FUEL SUPPLY LINES ON EFI ENGINES WILL REMAIN PRESSURIZED FOR SOME
PERIOD OF TIME AFTER THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF. THIS PRESSURE MUST BE RELIEVED
BEFORE SERVICING OF THE FUEL SYSTEM IS BEGUN.
FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELIEF - EFI ENGINES
Before opening the fuel system on vehicles with EFI engines, relieve fuel pressure as follows: 1.
Locate and disconnect the electrical connection to either the fuel pump relay, the inertia switch or
the in-line high pressure fuel pump.
2. Crank engine for approximately ten seconds.
Note: Engine may start and run for a short time. If so, crank engine an additional 5 seconds after
engine stalls.
3. Re-connect the electrical connector that was disconnected in step 1 and disconnect battery
ground cable.
Alternative Method
Some EFI vehicles have a port (fitting) on the fuel rail used for measuring fuel pressure. If so
equipped, use the following method: Install fuel pressure relief tool No. T80L-9974-B or equivalent to measuring port on engine fuel rail.
- Position drain hose in suitable container, then depress relief button.

Spark Plug: Service and Repair
REMOVAL
- Remove the wire from each spark plug by grasping the molded boot with tool T74P-6666-A or
equivalent. Twist the boot until it loosens and then pull it off the spark plug. Do not pull on the wire,
as the connection may become damaged.
- Any wire damaged must be replaced. Each original spark plug wire is numbered for the cylinder to
which it is designated. If wires are not numbered, each wire should be numbered as to the plug
from which it was removed.
- Clean the area around each spark plug port with compressed air.
- Using the proper size spark plug socket remove the spark plugs.
INSTALLATION
Check the gap on each new spark plug and set to specification. See: Specifications
- Install each spark plug and tighten to 9-20 Nm (7-15 ft-lbs).
Cylinder Numbering And Distributor Location
Location On Distributor
- Coat the inside of each spark plug boot with silicone dielectric compound. Connect each spark
plug wire to the plug from which it was removed. Be sure each wire is fully depressed on each plug
and molded boot is firmly in place.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
COMPRESSION TEST
1. Ensure oil in crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at proper level and battery is properly
charged. Operate vehicle until engine is at normal
operating temperature. Turn OFF ignition switch, then remove all spark plugs.
2. Set throttle plates (and choke plates, if equipped) in wide-open position. 3. Install a compression
gauge such as Rotunda Compression Tester 059-00009 or equivalent in No. 1 cylinder. 4. Install
an auxiliary starter switch in starting circuit. With ignition switch in the OFF position, and using
auxiliary starter switch, crank engine at
least five compression strokes and record highest reading. Note the approximate number of
compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
5. Repeat test on each cylinder cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.
TEST CONCLUSION
1. The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest. 2. If one or more cylinders read low, squirt
approximately one tablespoon of heavy SAE 50 weight or equivalent engine oil on top of the
pistons in
the low reading cylinders. Repeat compression pressure check on these cylinders. a. If
compression improves considerably, piston rings are at fault. b. If compression does not improve,
valves are sticking or seating poorly. c. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low compression
pressures and squirting oil on pistons does not increase compression, cause may be a
cylinder head gasket leak between cylinders. Engine oil and/or coolant in cylinders could result
from this problem.
Compression Pressure Limit Chart
NOTE: Refer to the compression pressure limit chart for pressure specifications.

ISSUE: Ford Motor Company does not authorize the use of recycled engine coolant nor do they
sanction the use of any machines or devices that recycle engine coolant.
Recycled engine coolant is not equivalent to the factory fill OEM coolant, the Ford premium cooling
system fluid (E2FZ-19549-AA) or the Ford heavy duty low silicate cooling fluid (E6HZ-19549-A).
The quality of engine coolant degenerates with use. Recycling used engine coolant is very difficult
to do without exposing the used coolant to additional foreign substances. Merely adding an additive
to the coolant will not restore it.
ACTION: Use new engine coolant that meets Ford Motor coolant specifications for the engine
being serviced.
Properly dispose of the used coolant.
WARNING: THE DISPOSAL OF ALL USED ENGINE COOLANT MUST ALWAYS BE DONE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAWS AND
REGULATIONS.

Figure 17 - Dipstick
To correctly check the engine oil level, the vehicle must be parked on a level surface. Allow a few
minutes after shutting the engine off for oil to drain down before checking. For consistent oil level
readings, insert the dipstick with the loop of the handle as shown in Figure 17.
Figure 18 - Dipstick - Calibration
Figure 19 - Dipstick - Calibration
Dipsticks in Ford vehicles do not incorporate a Full mark. Instead, the dipstick will have marks
indicating a Safe range and an Add range as shown in Figure 18 or 19. When the correct amount
of oil is in the engine, the oil level indication will be in the Safe range or above the Minimum mark,
but not necessarily at the top of the Safe range or at the Maximum mark.
When the indicated oil level is in the Add range put one quart of oil in the engine. Recheck the oil
level to determine if the oil level is now in the Safe range or above the Minimum mark.
Add and recheck oil level one quart at a time until the oil level indicator moves into the Safe range
or above the Minimum mark. Do not add additional oil to bring the level to the top of the Safe range
or to the Maximum mark since this may result in overfill and increased oil consumption. If the
accuracy of the engine oil dipstick is in doubt, it may be verified in the following manner:
^ Drain the oil and install a new filter.
^ Put in the specified amount of oil for an oil and filter change. (See owner guide)
^ Start the engine and operate a few minutes.
^ Shut off the engine and allow a few minutes for the oil to drain down.
^ Check the oil level with the dipstick.
^ If the oil level does not indicate in the Safe range or above the Minimum mark, rework or replace
the dipstick.

ISSUE A number of non-approved/alternate refrigerants have entered the marketplace and are
being advertised as "drop-in replacements" for R-12 and R-134a. The use of non-approved
refrigerants such as R-22, hydrocarbons, and other refrigerant blends could cause safety,
durability, and performance concerns if they are installed in Ford A/C systems. Identification of the
type of refrigerant contained in vehicle A/C systems, before servicing, is necessary to prevent
dealer service equipment and refrigerant supplies from being contaminated with non-approved
refrigerants.
ACTION Refrigerant identification must be performed prior to recovering the refrigerant into a
recovery machine to prevent cross-contamination of the recovery machine and other A/C systems
being serviced with that recovery machine. Refer to the following text.

A/C - Identification of Non Approved Refrigerants > Page 1093
Ford Motor Company has approved the Rotunda Deluxe A/C Refrigerant Analyzer (198-00003) for
use on Ford and Lincoln-Mercury vehicles (Figure 1). The analyzer provides the technician with a
quick and easy way to identify the type and percentage of refrigerant (R-134a, R-12, R-22, or
flammable hydrocarbon). The analyzer can also provide the percentage of air in the A/C system
and automatically purge air from the system.
The A/C Refrigerant Analyzer is designed to identify vapor gas samples taken directly from
automotive air conditioning systems or refrigerant storage cylinders. Refrigerant vapor passes
through the multiple sensor Non-Dispersive Infra-Red (NDIR) sensing unit. The microprocessor
calculates each refrigerant type and purity percentage which is displayed on the analyzer's Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD).
The analyzer identifies the purity percentage of R-134a, R-12, R-22, hydrocarbon; and air in the
sample. If the purity percentage of the R-134a or R-12 is 98% or greater by weight, a green
"PASS" Light Emitting Diode (LED) will light. If refrigerants R-134a or R-12 do not meet 98% purity
levels, the red "FAIL" LED will light. Levels of R-22 and flammable hydrocarbons above 2% will
light the red "FAIL" light. If a hydrocarbon is detected above 5%, both the "FAIL" light and
"HYDROCARBON" light will illuminate and a horn will sound alerting the user of potential hazards.
The percent of air contained in the sample will be displayed if the R-134a or R-12 content is 98% or
above. The analyzer eliminates the effect of air

A/C - Identification of Non Approved Refrigerants > Page 1094
when determining the refrigerant sample content because air is not considered a contaminant
although air can affect A/C system performance. Air will automatically be purged until a pure
refrigerant with a less than 2% by weight air measurement is reached.
Recovery of Contaminated Refrigerant
If contaminated refrigerant is detected, DO NOT recover the refrigerant into your R-134a or R-12
recovery/recycling equipment. Take the following actions:
1. Repeat the test to verify contaminated refrigerant is present.
2. Advise the customer of the contaminated A/C system and any additional cost to repair the
system. The customer may wish to return to the service facility which performed the last A/C
service.
3. Recover the contaminated refrigerant using suitable recovery-only equipment designed for
capturing and storing contaminated refrigerant. This equipment must only be used to recover
contaminated refrigerant to prevent the spread to other vehicles. As an alternative, contact an A/C
service facility in your area which has the proper equipment for refrigerant recovery.
Repairing A Contaminated A/C System
Once the contaminated refrigerant is removed from the system it will be necessary to repair the
system. Ford recommends that you do the following to be sure a quality repair is made:
1. Determine the cause of the failure.
2. Determine which parts will need to be replaced.
3. Flush the heat exchangers to remove any oil that may be degraded due to the contaminated
refrigerant.
4. Install a new suction/accumulator.
5. Properly oil match the system to verify that the correct amount of clean refrigerant oil is present
in the system.
6. Evacuate the system for 45 minutes.
7. Recharge the system, verify proper operation, and leak test.
Disposal of Contaminated Refrigerant
Disposal of contaminated refrigerant is a new process to the automotive industry Listed below are
companies that will assist with disposal of contaminated refrigerant. Ford Motor Company has not
evaluated the processes of the listed refrigerant disposal companies and is not endorsing or
promoting their companies Business transactions are between the dealership and disposal
companies. Disposal costs will vary between $3.00 and $5.00 per pound, plus the cost of round trip
cylinder shipping.

Ford Motor Company has approved the Rotunda Deluxe A/C Refrigerant Analyzer (198-00003) for
use on Ford and Lincoln-Mercury vehicles (Figure 1). The analyzer provides the technician with a
quick and easy way to identify the type and percentage of refrigerant (R-134a, R-12, R-22, or
flammable hydrocarbon). The analyzer can also provide the percentage of air in the A/C system
and automatically purge air from the system.
The A/C Refrigerant Analyzer is designed to identify vapor gas samples taken directly from
automotive air conditioning systems or refrigerant storage cylinders. Refrigerant vapor passes
through the multiple sensor Non-Dispersive Infra-Red (NDIR) sensing unit. The microprocessor
calculates each refrigerant type and purity percentage which is displayed on the analyzer's Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD).
The analyzer identifies the purity percentage of R-134a, R-12, R-22, hydrocarbon; and air in the
sample. If the purity percentage of the R-134a or R-12 is 98% or greater by weight, a green
"PASS" Light Emitting Diode (LED) will light. If refrigerants R-134a or R-12 do not meet 98% purity
levels, the red "FAIL" LED will light. Levels of R-22 and flammable hydrocarbons above 2% will
light the red "FAIL" light. If a hydrocarbon is detected above 5%, both the "FAIL" light and
"HYDROCARBON" light will illuminate and a horn will sound alerting the user of potential hazards.
The percent of air contained in the sample will be displayed if the R-134a or R-12 content is 98% or
above. The analyzer eliminates the effect of air

when determining the refrigerant sample content because air is not considered a contaminant
although air can affect A/C system performance. Air will automatically be purged until a pure
refrigerant with a less than 2% by weight air measurement is reached.
Recovery of Contaminated Refrigerant
If contaminated refrigerant is detected, DO NOT recover the refrigerant into your R-134a or R-12
recovery/recycling equipment. Take the following actions:
1. Repeat the test to verify contaminated refrigerant is present.
2. Advise the customer of the contaminated A/C system and any additional cost to repair the
system. The customer may wish to return to the service facility which performed the last A/C
service.
3. Recover the contaminated refrigerant using suitable recovery-only equipment designed for
capturing and storing contaminated refrigerant. This equipment must only be used to recover
contaminated refrigerant to prevent the spread to other vehicles. As an alternative, contact an A/C
service facility in your area which has the proper equipment for refrigerant recovery.
Repairing A Contaminated A/C System
Once the contaminated refrigerant is removed from the system it will be necessary to repair the
system. Ford recommends that you do the following to be sure a quality repair is made:
1. Determine the cause of the failure.
2. Determine which parts will need to be replaced.
3. Flush the heat exchangers to remove any oil that may be degraded due to the contaminated
refrigerant.
4. Install a new suction/accumulator.
5. Properly oil match the system to verify that the correct amount of clean refrigerant oil is present
in the system.
6. Evacuate the system for 45 minutes.
7. Recharge the system, verify proper operation, and leak test.
Disposal of Contaminated Refrigerant
Disposal of contaminated refrigerant is a new process to the automotive industry Listed below are
companies that will assist with disposal of contaminated refrigerant. Ford Motor Company has not
evaluated the processes of the listed refrigerant disposal companies and is not endorsing or
promoting their companies Business transactions are between the dealership and disposal
companies. Disposal costs will vary between $3.00 and $5.00 per pound, plus the cost of round trip
cylinder shipping.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to list Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
reviewed NC substitutes for R-12 refrigerant.
ISSUE: A number of manufacturers are producing refrigerant products which are described as
being direct replacements for refrigerant R-12.
ACTION: If service is required, use only new or of known quality recycled refrigerant R-12. Ford
Motor Company has approved R-134a as the only refrigerant substitute for R-12.
CAUTION:
USING ANY UNAUTHORIZED SUBSTITUTE REFRIGERANT FOR R-12 MAY RESULT IN
SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE A/C SYSTEM COMPONENTS.

This information has been taken from EPA documents to address Ford specific applications and
recommendations. Further EPA information on ozone-depleting substances and regulations
regarding its handling can be found on the Internet at World Wide Web site:
http://www.epa.gov/ozone/
In 1994, EPA established the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program to review
alternatives to ozone-depleting substances like R-12. EPA examines new substitutes for their
ozone depleting, global warming, flammability, and toxicity characteristics. The SNAP process does
not test these substitutes for A/C system compatibility, reliability, durability, or performance.
Under the SNAP rule, each new refrigerant must be used in accordance with the following
conditions:
1. Unique Fittings - Each new refrigerant must be used with a unique set of fittings to prevent the
accidental mixing of different refrigerants.
2. Unique Equipment - Each refrigerant must have dedicated recovery/recycling equipment for that
refrigerant.
3. Labels - Whether a vehicle is originally designed to use a new refrigerant or is retrofitted, the
technician must apply a detailed label giving specific information about the alternative. This label
covers up information about the old refrigerant and provides valuable details on the alternative and
how it was used. The technician is required to fill in their name, company performing the retrofit,
address and the date retrofitted.
4. Remove Original Refrigerant - The original R-12 must be removed from the system prior to
charging with the new refrigerant. This will guarantee that the largest amount of clean R-12 is
available for use in vehicles that still need it.

Service Procedure
THIS PROCEDURE IS OPTIONAL IF THE SYSTEM IS FLUSHED USING THE ROTUNDA A/C
FLUSHER.
CAUTION
THIS FILTERING PROCEDURE MAY BE USED FOR EITHER R-12 OR R-134a REFRIGERANT
SYSTEMS. BECAUSE THE TWO (2) SYSTEMS USE DIFFERENT REFRIGERANT OILS AND
BECAUSE THE COMPRESSOR COULD BE DAMAGED IF THE WRONG OIL IS USED, SYSTEM
IDENTIFICATION IS VERY IMPORTANT. BE SURE SYSTEM IS CORRECTLY IDENTIFIED
BEFORE STARTING THE FILTERING PROCEDURE.
Each Service Filter Kit includes the following items:
^ One (1) Pancake Filter (to be installed in the liquid line between the condenser and the orifice
tube)
^ One (1) Instruction Sheet
NOTE

absorb escaping brake fluid.
2. Depress brake pedal slowly by hand to floor of cab, forcing air trapped in master cylinder out at
fitting.
3. Hold pedal down and tighten fittings, then release brake pedal. Releasing brake pedal before
fittings are tightened will allow air to enter the master cylinder.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until air ceases to escape at fittings and brake pedal is firm.
5. Bleed rear brakes as follows:
a. Pump pedal several times, then hold pedal down firmly. b. With pedal firmly depressed, open
bleeder screw on one rear brake until pedal fades to floor, then close bleeder valve. c. Repeat
procedure until a continuous flow of brake fluid is released from bleeder valve. d. Repeat steps 5a
through 5c on other rear brake.
6. Bleed front brakes using same procedure as for rear brakes.
7. Fill master cylinder reservoirs to {1/4} inch from top of reservoirs.
8. Centralize the pressure differential control valve, if applicable, as follows:
a. Turn ignition switch to ``ACC'' or ``On'' position. b. Push brake pedal down, allowing piston to
center itself, turning off warning light. c. Turn ignition switch to ``OFF'' position.

The emission maintenance warning system functions with two microprocessor modules. One
module is the inferred mileage sensor (IMS) and the other is the emission maintenance warning
(EMW) module. The IMS module is not part of the emission light circuit. The IMS module sends a
signal to the engine control assembly (ECA) at a predetermined time which then automatically
makes appropriate internal emission control adjustments.
The EMW module is a timing device that turns the "EMISSIONS" light on at approximately 60,000
miles, indicating required emission system maintenance. 1985 light trucks built prior to January
1985 have a non-resetable EMW module and require part replacement if the "EMISSIONS" light
stays on. Later vehicles are equipped with a resetable EMW module and can be reset as described
in the 1985 Car/LightTruck EngineElectrical-Emissions Shop Manual, page 18-6. An additional
EMW module is available and is used only for vehicles with approximately 30,000 miles. This
module will ensure that the "EMISSIONS" light will still be illuminated as required at 60,000 miles.
Locations for the EMW/IMS modules are as follows:
Model Location
F Series Left side of steering column on instruEconoline ment panel support.
Bronco
Aerostar Left side of steering column mounted on the EEC-IV processor bracket.
Ranger Behind and above the glove box.
Bronco II Mounted on the instrument panel. (May require glove box removal.)
The IMS and EMW modules are located side by side. The EMW module is the only part that
normally requires replacement. It can be identified by a "RESET" sticker and brown plastic housing.
The IMS module is black in color and has no stickers.

The emission maintenance warning system functions with two microprocessor modules. One
module is the inferred mileage sensor (IMS) and the other is the emission maintenance warning
(EMW) module. The IMS module is not part of the emission light circuit. The IMS module sends a
signal to the engine control assembly (ECA) at a predetermined time which then automatically
makes appropriate internal emission control adjustments.
The EMW module is a timing device that turns the "EMISSIONS" light on at approximately 60,000
miles, indicating required emission system maintenance. 1985 light trucks built prior to January
1985 have a non-resetable EMW module and require part replacement if the "EMISSIONS" light

TRUCK:
1983-87 E-150
ISSUE: "Body boom" and driveline vibration between the speeds of 35 and 65 mph (56 and 105
km/h) may be caused by one or more vehicle component areas. The vibration and boom are
usually more noticeable when the AOD transmission is operating in overdrive, but may also occur
when the AOD transmission is operating in third gear. In most cases there is more than one factor
causing the NVH concern.
ACTION: To correct this, use the following diagnostic procedures and the 1987 Light Truck Shop
Manual, Section 18-01 to determine which vehicle components require attention. The diagnostic
procedures should be followed in the order in which they appear in this TSB article. After the
completion of each section the vehicle should be road tested to determine if the condition has been
corrected. If the condition is still present, proceed to the next section. An Econoline NVH diagnostic
chart is on page 52 of this TSB to assist in concern identification.
Wheels & Tires, Chassis Groundout & Exhaust System
Wheels and Tires
1. Make sure the front wheels are centered on the rotor hub pilot and the rear wheels are centered
on the rear drum pilot by using the Rotunda Runout Gauge, 007-00014 to check wheel and tire
assembly runout.
NOTE: Special attention should be given to vehicles equipped with aftermarket aluminum wheels.
2. If incorrect wheel and tire assembly runout is found, loosen the lug nuts, rotate the wheel and tire
assembly and carefully retighten the lug nuts finger tight.
3. Recheck the wheel and tire assembly runout while rotating the wheel and tire assembly. If the
runout is okay, torque the lug nuts to 100 ft.lbs. (136 N-m). If runout is still incorrect, service as
required.
Body to Chassis Groundout
1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist and make sure the mounting bolts from aftermarket seats and safety
belt anchors are not grounded to the frame, service as required.
2. Check to make sure the running boards are not grounded to the frame, service as required.
3. Make sure the exhaust system is not grounded to the frame, service as required.
Exhaust System
1. Check to make sure an exhaust bind-up condition is not present by using the following steps:
a. Road test the vehicle to determine if a "drone" noise is present each time the transmission shifts
from one gear to the next between 0 and 65 MPH (0 and 105 km/h).
b. If "drone" noise is present, apply the parking brake, depress the brake pedal and brake torque
engine to simulate condition. The "drone" should appear around 1800 to 2000 RPM.
c. Remove the exhaust system hanger in front and behind the muffler.
d. Repeat Step b. If "drone" is gone, loosen the "Y" pipe at the exhaust manifold and the muffler.
e. Reposition the exhaust system upward to eliminate stress on the two (2) hangers. Retighten the
"Y" pipe to specification.
NOTE: On 1987 vehicles, remove the front hanger bracket from the cross member. Knock out the
existing retainer bolts from the hanger. Reinstall the bracket with longer bolts and add 1/4" to 1/2"
stack of washers to each bolt between the bracket and cross member. This will make sure the
rubber isolator is in a neutral position.

> Customer Interest: > 88717033088 > Mar > 88 > Vehicle - Body Boom Between 35 and 65 MPH > Page 1239
1. Make sure the driveshaft runout does not exceed .035". Refer to the Light Truck Shop Manual,
Section 18-01-8.
2. If runout exceeds .035", install a new driveshaft. Refer to the driveshaft application chart on page
49 of this TSB for the correct service part number.
3. Make sure the drive shaft U-joints are not worn. Check for a hard to move U-joint or a U-joint that
catches when moved from side to side.
NOTE: If it is necessary to replace a U-joint, refer to the following "Road Test" procedure to make
sure a driveshaft imbalance is not caused by the U-joint replacement.
4. If the U-joints are okay, mark the driveshaft-to-axle flange with paint to aid in re-indexing.
5. Remove the driveshaft from the axle flange and re-index 180 degrees.
6. Road test the vehicle.
NOTE: If the noise and vibration are still present or not acceptable, proceed to the "Road Test"
procedure below.
Road Test Procedure
1. Select a road where the vehicle can be safely operated at speeds from 25 to 65 MPH (40 to 105
km/h).
2. Slowly accelerate from 25 to 65 MPH (40 to 105 km/h) and observe the speed where the noise
and vibration occur. Carefully watch the 35 to 45 MPH (56 to 72 km/h) range.
3. Shift into neutral at 65 MPH (105 km/h) and coast down to 25 MPH (40 km/h) noting at what
speed the noise and vibration occur.
^ If the noise and vibration were not present during coast down, the NVH concern is not with an
imbalanced driveshaft.
^ Vibrations during a neutral coastdown from 65 to 45 MPH (105 to 72 km/h) indicate an
imbalanced driveshaft and/or imbalanced wheel and tire assemblies.
^ Vibrations from 35 to 45 MPH (56 to 72 km/h) indicate an imbalanced driveshaft.
^ Vibration from improperly balanced wheel and tire assemblies are normally FELT in the steering
wheel and seats and do not have body "boom" noise associated with it. If this is the case, balance
all four (4) wheel and tire assemblies.

> Customer Interest: > 88717033088 > Mar > 88 > Vehicle - Body Boom Between 35 and 65 MPH > Page 1240
^ An improperly balanced driveshaft will usually have an audible noise or body "boom" noise. If this
is the case, balance or replace the driveshaft.
Driveshaft Balance & Rear Springs & Axle Information
Driveshaft Balance
1. Raise the vehicle on a twin post hoist.
2. Start the engine, engage the transmission and run up to vibration speed.
NOTE: Observe the level of vibration in the seat and steering wheel.
3. Have an assistant install one hose clamp at the rear of the driveshaft. Position the clamp with the
screw head lined up with the existing balance weights on the driveshaft.
4. Start engine and run up to vibration speed. If the vibration got worse, rotate the clamp 180
degrees. Continue the procedure of rotating at 90 degree increments until all four (4) quadrants
have been evaluated. Choose the best position and tighten clamp.
5. If vibration is still present, install a second clamp in the same position as the one installed in Step
4.
6. If vibration increases, scribe a line on the driveshaft at the screwhead locations.
7. Rotate one (1) clamp a 1/2" clockwise and the other 1/2" counterclockwise. Move the clamps
further apart or closer together as required to "FINE TUNE" the system.
Rear Springs
1. Make sure rear springs are the six leaf design.
2. If not, install two (2) new six leaf springs, (D6UZ-5560-D).
Rear Axle
1. If the condition is still present after all the above sections have been completed, road test the
vehicle to determine if the correct driveline angle is present or a new ring and pinion assembly is
required.
2. Drive vehicle about 10-12 miles (16-19 kilometers).
3. With the transmission in overdrive for AOD transmission or in drive for C6 transmissions,
accelerate to 50 MPH (80 km/h). Slowly increase the speed to 65 MPH (105 km/h) noting at what
speed the noise and vibration occur.
4. Shift into neutral and coast down to 50 MPH (80 km/h). Observe whether or "boom" noise is
present and at what speed.
5. If "boom" is only present in drive, measure the angle between the driveshaft and axle. If greater
than 2 degrees, shim the axle at the spring seats to achieve a 1 degree angle.
6. Road test the vehicle. If the "boom" is still present, install a special "low" pitch line runout (PLRO)
rear axle ring and pinion set. Refer to the following ring and pinion application chart.
RING AND PINION APPLICATION CHART

TIRE WEAR - FRONT - OUTSIDE EDGE
LIGHT TRUCK 1976-86 E100-150
Outboard shoulder wear, predominantly in lightly loaded city-delivery type use, is aggravated by
excessive positive wheel camber in turning. The caster adjustment kit described in TSB 85-19-15
can be used to increase caster of either wheel up to 3 degrees in 1/2 degree increments. The kit
contains complete instructions for modifying the front radius arms and mounting a metal adjusting
cam to the bottom flange of each radius arm. Cams must be arc-welded a minimum of one inch
along two sides of the cam to the lower flange of the radius arm.
Increasing caster the full 3 degrees effectively reduces camber of the outboard wheel in a turn 1.5
degrees. Increasing caster more than 3 degrees is not recommended since this may cause
complaints of wheel shimmy and/or excessive steering efforts. Also, caster should not be increased
on vehicles built since April 1, 1984. These vehicles have the 3 degree caster increase already built
into the axles which have axle part numbers E4UA-6-BA and E4UA-7-BA embossed on the face of
each axle.
Three other significant factors may also contribute to outboard shoulder wear. They are excessive
toe-in (generally greater than 5/32 inch), excessive cornering speeds, and low tire pressure. After
any adjustments to front end alignment, toe should be adjusted to zero. On vehicles subject to
extensive city-delivery use, toe may be set up to 1/16 inch toe-out for optimum tire life.

Article No. 89-9-16
LIGHT TRUCK: 1984-89 ALL LIGHT TRUCK LINES
ISSUE: Tire wear can be affected by inflation and load. Good tread life is dependent on maintaining
proper air pressure in the tires. Other factors that affect tire wear are:
^ alignment
^ speed
^ road surfaces
ACTION: Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressures to obtain maximum tread life. Use the
following charts and procedures to arrive at the best tire pressure for each load application.
FIGURE 1
The chart in Figure 1 shows the affect of inflation and load on tire tread life. Use the chart by finding
the specified inflation pressure for the vehicle as shown on the certification label and locating that
pressure on the specified inflation pressure on the chart. The affects of actual air pressure and load
can now be read directly off the chart.
Tire load carrying capacity is a function of tire design and inflation pressures. Each tire has molded
into the sidewall a maximum pressure for a specific usage. Use the following guidelines to
determine load carrying capacity.

FIGURE 2
^ For P-metric passenger tires on passenger cars, the values are as shown on the tire.
^ For P-metric passenger tires on light trucks, the load ratings are reduced to 91% to reflect the
"harsher" truck environment, Figure 2.
^ For light truck style tires used on light trucks, the values are as shown for tires used in single
wheel applications.
^ For light truck style tires used in dual wheel applications, the tire capacities are derated.
Often, inflation pressures for specific vehicles are less than maximum capacity because the load to
be carried is less than the maximum tire capacity.
Inflation pressures for originally installed size tires on a vehicle are shown on the vehicle
certification label along with the tire size and rated capacity for the axle system. Check the size and
inflation information on the label to properly inflate the tires. Be sure that the same size tire is
actually on the vehicle and then inflate it to the label's specified pressure. If other than original size
tires are on the vehicle, the label's pressures are probably not correct
To find proper pressures for other than original tires, use the following procedure.
1. Obtain both front and rear axle capacity ratings (GAWRR and GAWRF).
2. Divide each number by 2 to obtain the capacity at the tire.

3. For single wheel usage, look up the pressure in the proper chart which will meet the needed
capacity, Figure 3.
4. Check the tire side wall label to see if it permits inflation to that pressure. If lower load range tires
were installed (i.e., C vs. D or E), the tires may not have the needed capability.
5. Divide the value found in Step 2 by 2 again to obtain individual tire requirements for dual rear
wheels.
6. Using a dual wheel inflation pressure chart, Figure 3, determine correct pressure to achieve
adequate load capacities.
7. Consult the local tire outlet or the tire manufacturer's home office about tires not shown in the
tables.

ISSUE: "Body boom" and driveline vibration between the speeds of 35 and 65 mph (56 and 105
km/h) may be caused by one or more vehicle component areas. The vibration and boom are
usually more noticeable when the AOD transmission is operating in overdrive, but may also occur
when the AOD transmission is operating in third gear. In most cases there is more than one factor
causing the NVH concern.
ACTION: To correct this, use the following diagnostic procedures and the 1987 Light Truck Shop
Manual, Section 18-01 to determine which vehicle components require attention. The diagnostic
procedures should be followed in the order in which they appear in this TSB article. After the
completion of each section the vehicle should be road tested to determine if the condition has been
corrected. If the condition is still present, proceed to the next section. An Econoline NVH diagnostic
chart is on page 52 of this TSB to assist in concern identification.
Wheels & Tires, Chassis Groundout & Exhaust System
Wheels and Tires
1. Make sure the front wheels are centered on the rotor hub pilot and the rear wheels are centered
on the rear drum pilot by using the Rotunda Runout Gauge, 007-00014 to check wheel and tire
assembly runout.
NOTE: Special attention should be given to vehicles equipped with aftermarket aluminum wheels.
2. If incorrect wheel and tire assembly runout is found, loosen the lug nuts, rotate the wheel and tire
assembly and carefully retighten the lug nuts finger tight.
3. Recheck the wheel and tire assembly runout while rotating the wheel and tire assembly. If the
runout is okay, torque the lug nuts to 100 ft.lbs. (136 N-m). If runout is still incorrect, service as
required.
Body to Chassis Groundout
1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist and make sure the mounting bolts from aftermarket seats and safety
belt anchors are not grounded to the frame, service as required.
2. Check to make sure the running boards are not grounded to the frame, service as required.
3. Make sure the exhaust system is not grounded to the frame, service as required.
Exhaust System
1. Check to make sure an exhaust bind-up condition is not present by using the following steps:
a. Road test the vehicle to determine if a "drone" noise is present each time the transmission shifts
from one gear to the next between 0 and 65 MPH (0 and 105 km/h).
b. If "drone" noise is present, apply the parking brake, depress the brake pedal and brake torque
engine to simulate condition. The "drone" should appear around 1800 to 2000 RPM.
c. Remove the exhaust system hanger in front and behind the muffler.
d. Repeat Step b. If "drone" is gone, loosen the "Y" pipe at the exhaust manifold and the muffler.
e. Reposition the exhaust system upward to eliminate stress on the two (2) hangers. Retighten the
"Y" pipe to specification.
NOTE: On 1987 vehicles, remove the front hanger bracket from the cross member. Knock out the
existing retainer bolts from the hanger. Reinstall the bracket with longer bolts and add 1/4" to 1/2"
stack of washers to each bolt between the bracket and cross member. This will make sure the
rubber isolator is in a neutral position.

Page 1258
1. Make sure the driveshaft runout does not exceed .035". Refer to the Light Truck Shop Manual,
Section 18-01-8.
2. If runout exceeds .035", install a new driveshaft. Refer to the driveshaft application chart on page
49 of this TSB for the correct service part number.
3. Make sure the drive shaft U-joints are not worn. Check for a hard to move U-joint or a U-joint that
catches when moved from side to side.
NOTE: If it is necessary to replace a U-joint, refer to the following "Road Test" procedure to make
sure a driveshaft imbalance is not caused by the U-joint replacement.
4. If the U-joints are okay, mark the driveshaft-to-axle flange with paint to aid in re-indexing.
5. Remove the driveshaft from the axle flange and re-index 180 degrees.
6. Road test the vehicle.
NOTE: If the noise and vibration are still present or not acceptable, proceed to the "Road Test"
procedure below.
Road Test Procedure
1. Select a road where the vehicle can be safely operated at speeds from 25 to 65 MPH (40 to 105
km/h).
2. Slowly accelerate from 25 to 65 MPH (40 to 105 km/h) and observe the speed where the noise
and vibration occur. Carefully watch the 35 to 45 MPH (56 to 72 km/h) range.
3. Shift into neutral at 65 MPH (105 km/h) and coast down to 25 MPH (40 km/h) noting at what
speed the noise and vibration occur.
^ If the noise and vibration were not present during coast down, the NVH concern is not with an
imbalanced driveshaft.
^ Vibrations during a neutral coastdown from 65 to 45 MPH (105 to 72 km/h) indicate an
imbalanced driveshaft and/or imbalanced wheel and tire assemblies.
^ Vibrations from 35 to 45 MPH (56 to 72 km/h) indicate an imbalanced driveshaft.
^ Vibration from improperly balanced wheel and tire assemblies are normally FELT in the steering
wheel and seats and do not have body "boom" noise associated with it. If this is the case, balance
all four (4) wheel and tire assemblies.

^ An improperly balanced driveshaft will usually have an audible noise or body "boom" noise. If this
is the case, balance or replace the driveshaft.
Driveshaft Balance & Rear Springs & Axle Information
Driveshaft Balance
1. Raise the vehicle on a twin post hoist.
2. Start the engine, engage the transmission and run up to vibration speed.
NOTE: Observe the level of vibration in the seat and steering wheel.
3. Have an assistant install one hose clamp at the rear of the driveshaft. Position the clamp with the
screw head lined up with the existing balance weights on the driveshaft.
4. Start engine and run up to vibration speed. If the vibration got worse, rotate the clamp 180
degrees. Continue the procedure of rotating at 90 degree increments until all four (4) quadrants
have been evaluated. Choose the best position and tighten clamp.
5. If vibration is still present, install a second clamp in the same position as the one installed in Step
4.
6. If vibration increases, scribe a line on the driveshaft at the screwhead locations.
7. Rotate one (1) clamp a 1/2" clockwise and the other 1/2" counterclockwise. Move the clamps
further apart or closer together as required to "FINE TUNE" the system.
Rear Springs
1. Make sure rear springs are the six leaf design.
2. If not, install two (2) new six leaf springs, (D6UZ-5560-D).
Rear Axle
1. If the condition is still present after all the above sections have been completed, road test the
vehicle to determine if the correct driveline angle is present or a new ring and pinion assembly is
required.
2. Drive vehicle about 10-12 miles (16-19 kilometers).
3. With the transmission in overdrive for AOD transmission or in drive for C6 transmissions,
accelerate to 50 MPH (80 km/h). Slowly increase the speed to 65 MPH (105 km/h) noting at what
speed the noise and vibration occur.
4. Shift into neutral and coast down to 50 MPH (80 km/h). Observe whether or "boom" noise is
present and at what speed.
5. If "boom" is only present in drive, measure the angle between the driveshaft and axle. If greater
than 2 degrees, shim the axle at the spring seats to achieve a 1 degree angle.
6. Road test the vehicle. If the "boom" is still present, install a special "low" pitch line runout (PLRO)
rear axle ring and pinion set. Refer to the following ring and pinion application chart.
RING AND PINION APPLICATION CHART

TIRE WEAR - FRONT - OUTSIDE EDGE
LIGHT TRUCK 1976-86 E100-150
Outboard shoulder wear, predominantly in lightly loaded city-delivery type use, is aggravated by
excessive positive wheel camber in turning. The caster adjustment kit described in TSB 85-19-15
can be used to increase caster of either wheel up to 3 degrees in 1/2 degree increments. The kit
contains complete instructions for modifying the front radius arms and mounting a metal adjusting
cam to the bottom flange of each radius arm. Cams must be arc-welded a minimum of one inch
along two sides of the cam to the lower flange of the radius arm.
Increasing caster the full 3 degrees effectively reduces camber of the outboard wheel in a turn 1.5
degrees. Increasing caster more than 3 degrees is not recommended since this may cause
complaints of wheel shimmy and/or excessive steering efforts. Also, caster should not be increased
on vehicles built since April 1, 1984. These vehicles have the 3 degree caster increase already built
into the axles which have axle part numbers E4UA-6-BA and E4UA-7-BA embossed on the face of
each axle.
Three other significant factors may also contribute to outboard shoulder wear. They are excessive
toe-in (generally greater than 5/32 inch), excessive cornering speeds, and low tire pressure. After
any adjustments to front end alignment, toe should be adjusted to zero. On vehicles subject to
extensive city-delivery use, toe may be set up to 1/16 inch toe-out for optimum tire life.

inflation information on the label to properly inflate the tires. Be sure that the same size tire is
actually on the vehicle and then inflate it to the label's specified pressure. If other than original size
tires are on the vehicle, the label's pressures are probably not correct
To find proper pressures for other than original tires, use the following procedure.
1. Obtain both front and rear axle capacity ratings (GAWRR and GAWRF).
2. Divide each number by 2 to obtain the capacity at the tire.

ISSUE: Wheel vibration may be caused by distorted pilot holes or lug holes on the wheel. This
does not allow sufficient clamp load between the lug nut, the wheel and the rotor/hub. It may also
be difficult to remove the distorted wheel from the vehicle or to place the wheel on the vehicle in a
different location.
ACTION: To determine if a wheel has been damaged and should not be reused, refer to the
following service procedure for details.
NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE ONLY APPLIES TO PART # E7UA-1015-JA (16 X 6 SINGLE STEEL
WHEEL)
INSPECT FOR WHEEL DAMAGE
1. Remove the wheel from the hub. If the wheel is difficult to remove, DO NOT reuse the wheel.
2. Visually inspect the wheel for distortion (turned-up) scallops in the pilot hole. If the pilot hole is
distorted, DO NOT reuse the wheel.
3. Inspect the distorted lug holes by placing a lug nut in the lug hole cone seat of the wheel and
inspect from the reverse side. If the lug protrudes through the lug hole, DO NOT reuse the wheel.
4. Inspect the wheel mounting surface for distortion.
a. Lay a straight edge across the mounting surface of the wheel (the surface of the wheel which
makes contact with the rear brake drum or front rotor).
b. The straight edge should contact the outer edge of the mounting surface, lying between the bolt
holes and across the center of the pilot hole.
c. The clearance between the straight edge and the pilot hole can not exceed 0.0300 inch, the
straight edge should not contact the pilot holes. If the clearance is more than 0.0300 or the straight
edge makes contact with the pilot holes, DO NOT reuse the wheel.
INSTALL WHEEL
1. Inspect for lubricants on the studs and lug nuts.
2. If lubricants are present, clean throughly using naphtha or equivalent.
3. Torque lug nuts to (140 ft.lbs./190 N-m) using a torque wrench according to the Shop Manual,
Section 04-04.
CAUTION: EXCESSIVE TORQUE MAY CAUSE DISTORTION OF THE WHEEL. INADEQUATE

TRUCK:
1983-87 E-150
ISSUE: "Body boom" and driveline vibration between the speeds of 35 and 65 mph (56 and 105
km/h) may be caused by one or more vehicle component areas. The vibration and boom are
usually more noticeable when the AOD transmission is operating in overdrive, but may also occur
when the AOD transmission is operating in third gear. In most cases there is more than one factor
causing the NVH concern.
ACTION: To correct this, use the following diagnostic procedures and the 1987 Light Truck Shop
Manual, Section 18-01 to determine which vehicle components require attention. The diagnostic
procedures should be followed in the order in which they appear in this TSB article. After the
completion of each section the vehicle should be road tested to determine if the condition has been
corrected. If the condition is still present, proceed to the next section. An Econoline NVH diagnostic
chart is on page 52 of this TSB to assist in concern identification.
Wheels & Tires, Chassis Groundout & Exhaust System
Wheels and Tires
1. Make sure the front wheels are centered on the rotor hub pilot and the rear wheels are centered
on the rear drum pilot by using the Rotunda Runout Gauge, 007-00014 to check wheel and tire
assembly runout.
NOTE: Special attention should be given to vehicles equipped with aftermarket aluminum wheels.
2. If incorrect wheel and tire assembly runout is found, loosen the lug nuts, rotate the wheel and tire
assembly and carefully retighten the lug nuts finger tight.
3. Recheck the wheel and tire assembly runout while rotating the wheel and tire assembly. If the
runout is okay, torque the lug nuts to 100 ft.lbs. (136 N-m). If runout is still incorrect, service as
required.
Body to Chassis Groundout
1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist and make sure the mounting bolts from aftermarket seats and safety
belt anchors are not grounded to the frame, service as required.
2. Check to make sure the running boards are not grounded to the frame, service as required.
3. Make sure the exhaust system is not grounded to the frame, service as required.
Exhaust System
1. Check to make sure an exhaust bind-up condition is not present by using the following steps:
a. Road test the vehicle to determine if a "drone" noise is present each time the transmission shifts
from one gear to the next between 0 and 65 MPH (0 and 105 km/h).
b. If "drone" noise is present, apply the parking brake, depress the brake pedal and brake torque
engine to simulate condition. The "drone" should appear around 1800 to 2000 RPM.
c. Remove the exhaust system hanger in front and behind the muffler.
d. Repeat Step b. If "drone" is gone, loosen the "Y" pipe at the exhaust manifold and the muffler.
e. Reposition the exhaust system upward to eliminate stress on the two (2) hangers. Retighten the
"Y" pipe to specification.
NOTE: On 1987 vehicles, remove the front hanger bracket from the cross member. Knock out the
existing retainer bolts from the hanger. Reinstall the bracket with longer bolts and add 1/4" to 1/2"
stack of washers to each bolt between the bracket and cross member. This will make sure the
rubber isolator is in a neutral position.

Bulletins > Customer Interest: > 88717033088 > Mar > 88 > Vehicle - Body Boom Between 35 and 65 MPH > Page 1302
1. Make sure the driveshaft runout does not exceed .035". Refer to the Light Truck Shop Manual,
Section 18-01-8.
2. If runout exceeds .035", install a new driveshaft. Refer to the driveshaft application chart on page
49 of this TSB for the correct service part number.
3. Make sure the drive shaft U-joints are not worn. Check for a hard to move U-joint or a U-joint that
catches when moved from side to side.
NOTE: If it is necessary to replace a U-joint, refer to the following "Road Test" procedure to make
sure a driveshaft imbalance is not caused by the U-joint replacement.
4. If the U-joints are okay, mark the driveshaft-to-axle flange with paint to aid in re-indexing.
5. Remove the driveshaft from the axle flange and re-index 180 degrees.
6. Road test the vehicle.
NOTE: If the noise and vibration are still present or not acceptable, proceed to the "Road Test"
procedure below.
Road Test Procedure
1. Select a road where the vehicle can be safely operated at speeds from 25 to 65 MPH (40 to 105
km/h).
2. Slowly accelerate from 25 to 65 MPH (40 to 105 km/h) and observe the speed where the noise
and vibration occur. Carefully watch the 35 to 45 MPH (56 to 72 km/h) range.
3. Shift into neutral at 65 MPH (105 km/h) and coast down to 25 MPH (40 km/h) noting at what
speed the noise and vibration occur.
^ If the noise and vibration were not present during coast down, the NVH concern is not with an
imbalanced driveshaft.
^ Vibrations during a neutral coastdown from 65 to 45 MPH (105 to 72 km/h) indicate an
imbalanced driveshaft and/or imbalanced wheel and tire assemblies.
^ Vibrations from 35 to 45 MPH (56 to 72 km/h) indicate an imbalanced driveshaft.
^ Vibration from improperly balanced wheel and tire assemblies are normally FELT in the steering
wheel and seats and do not have body "boom" noise associated with it. If this is the case, balance
all four (4) wheel and tire assemblies.

is the case, balance or replace the driveshaft.
Driveshaft Balance & Rear Springs & Axle Information
Driveshaft Balance
1. Raise the vehicle on a twin post hoist.
2. Start the engine, engage the transmission and run up to vibration speed.
NOTE: Observe the level of vibration in the seat and steering wheel.
3. Have an assistant install one hose clamp at the rear of the driveshaft. Position the clamp with the
screw head lined up with the existing balance weights on the driveshaft.
4. Start engine and run up to vibration speed. If the vibration got worse, rotate the clamp 180
degrees. Continue the procedure of rotating at 90 degree increments until all four (4) quadrants
have been evaluated. Choose the best position and tighten clamp.
5. If vibration is still present, install a second clamp in the same position as the one installed in Step
4.
6. If vibration increases, scribe a line on the driveshaft at the screwhead locations.
7. Rotate one (1) clamp a 1/2" clockwise and the other 1/2" counterclockwise. Move the clamps
further apart or closer together as required to "FINE TUNE" the system.
Rear Springs
1. Make sure rear springs are the six leaf design.
2. If not, install two (2) new six leaf springs, (D6UZ-5560-D).
Rear Axle
1. If the condition is still present after all the above sections have been completed, road test the
vehicle to determine if the correct driveline angle is present or a new ring and pinion assembly is
required.
2. Drive vehicle about 10-12 miles (16-19 kilometers).
3. With the transmission in overdrive for AOD transmission or in drive for C6 transmissions,
accelerate to 50 MPH (80 km/h). Slowly increase the speed to 65 MPH (105 km/h) noting at what
speed the noise and vibration occur.
4. Shift into neutral and coast down to 50 MPH (80 km/h). Observe whether or "boom" noise is
present and at what speed.
5. If "boom" is only present in drive, measure the angle between the driveshaft and axle. If greater
than 2 degrees, shim the axle at the spring seats to achieve a 1 degree angle.
6. Road test the vehicle. If the "boom" is still present, install a special "low" pitch line runout (PLRO)
rear axle ring and pinion set. Refer to the following ring and pinion application chart.

ISSUE: Some lug nuts may be difficult to remove due to nut crimping. The lug nuts are designed to
be free-running as opposed to a "prevailing" torque style. The freerunning nuts may have "crimped
in" against the stud when torqued.
ACTION: To correct this, use new replacement nuts which will not "crimp in" when tightened to the
recommended torque of 140 ft.lbs. (190 N-m).
CAUTION: Lug nuts should be torqued by hand, not with an impact wrench, and retorqued at
intervals specified in the Owner Guide.

ISSUE: The use of air impact tools to tighten wheel lug nuts can lead to overtightened and/or
unevenly tightened wheel lug nuts. Air impact tools typically used for wheel lug nut removal and
installation can generate up to 475 N.m (350 lb-ft) of torque. Overtightened and/or unevenly
torqued wheel lug nuts may cause:
^ Brake vibration
^ Distortion of the wheel hub
^ Distortion of the brake rotor

^ Brake rotor runout
^ Damage to the wheel
^ Damage to the wheel nuts and studs
ACTION: All wheel lug nuts should only be tightened to specification using a torque wrench or by
using the Rotunda ACCUTORO 164-R0314 or equivalent on a 1/2" drive air impact tool. The
"ACCUTORO" lug nut sockets limit the torque of the air impact tool, preventing overtightening or
uneven tightening of the wheel lug nuts. The torque limiting devices (regulators) on air impact tools
will not reduce the output torque enough to prevent overtightening of the wheel lug nuts.

NOTE:
REFER TO THE APPROPRIATE SERVICE MANUAL OR THE CHART IN FIGURE 1 FOR THE
CORRECT WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE SPECIFICATION. THE CHART IN FIGURE 1 ALSO
PROVIDES THE CORRECT "ACCUTORO" LUG NUT SOCKET TO USE.
The "ACCUTORO" socket is intended for lug nut installation, not removal. When using the
"ACCUTORO" socket, the output torque of the air impact tool must be set to 217-339 N.m (160-250
lb-ft), usually this will be the lowest setting on the air impact tool.
The "ACCUTORO" lug nut sockets are available through Rotunda Equipment. The four-piece set
(164-R0314) fits most Ford Motor Company cars and light trucks. The tool set consists of four (4)
lug nut sockets and a storage case. The set can be ordered by calling Rotunda Equipment at
1-800-ROT-UNDA (768-8632).
CAUTION:
AIR IMPACT TOOLS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO TIGHTEN WHEEL LUG NUTS UNLESS THE
"ACCUTORO" LUG NUT SOCKET OF THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION IS USED.
NOTE:
DO NOT USE AIR IMPACT TOOLS ON LOCKING WHEEL LUG NUTS. THEY ARE TO BE
HAND-TORQUED ONLY.

ISSUE: The use of air impact tools to tighten wheel lug nuts can lead to overtightened and/or
unevenly tightened wheel lug nuts. Air impact tools typically used for wheel lug nut removal and
installation can generate up to 475 N.m (350 lb-ft) of torque. Overtightened and/or unevenly
torqued wheel lug nuts may cause:
^ Brake vibration
^ Distortion of the wheel hub
^ Distortion of the brake rotor

^ Damage to the wheel
^ Damage to the wheel nuts and studs
ACTION: All wheel lug nuts should only be tightened to specification using a torque wrench or by
using the Rotunda ACCUTORO 164-R0314 or equivalent on a 1/2" drive air impact tool. The
"ACCUTORO" lug nut sockets limit the torque of the air impact tool, preventing overtightening or
uneven tightening of the wheel lug nuts. The torque limiting devices (regulators) on air impact tools
will not reduce the output torque enough to prevent overtightening of the wheel lug nuts.

NOTE:
REFER TO THE APPROPRIATE SERVICE MANUAL OR THE CHART IN FIGURE 1 FOR THE
CORRECT WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE SPECIFICATION. THE CHART IN FIGURE 1 ALSO
PROVIDES THE CORRECT "ACCUTORO" LUG NUT SOCKET TO USE.
The "ACCUTORO" socket is intended for lug nut installation, not removal. When using the
"ACCUTORO" socket, the output torque of the air impact tool must be set to 217-339 N.m (160-250
lb-ft), usually this will be the lowest setting on the air impact tool.
The "ACCUTORO" lug nut sockets are available through Rotunda Equipment. The four-piece set
(164-R0314) fits most Ford Motor Company cars and light trucks. The tool set consists of four (4)
lug nut sockets and a storage case. The set can be ordered by calling Rotunda Equipment at
1-800-ROT-UNDA (768-8632).
CAUTION:
AIR IMPACT TOOLS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO TIGHTEN WHEEL LUG NUTS UNLESS THE
"ACCUTORO" LUG NUT SOCKET OF THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION IS USED.
NOTE:
DO NOT USE AIR IMPACT TOOLS ON LOCKING WHEEL LUG NUTS. THEY ARE TO BE
HAND-TORQUED ONLY.

E350 and F350 vehicles with dual rear wheels are equipped with wheels (front/rear) which are
center piloted to the hub and are attached with integral two-piece, swiveling lug nuts. The lug nut
torque specification is 140 ft.lbs. +/- 15 ft.lbs. (right hand threads are used at all four wheel
locations). See Figure 5 of the attached sketches for description of the wheel attachments.
Figure 4 - REAR WHEEL LUG NUT USAGE
WARNING: Use only integral two-piece swiveling lug nuts on 1985 vehicles equipped with dual
rear wheels. Do not attempt to use cone shaped onepiece lug nuts on these vehicles. If used on
wrong wheels, cone shaped one-piece lug nuts can come loose in vehicle operation. Do not
attempt to use wheels which have cone shaped lug nut seats on these vehicles. Intermixing of
different types of wheels can lead to damage to the wheel mounting system. Use of cone shaped
one-piece nuts or intermixing of wheels could allow wheels to come off while vehicle is in motion,
possibly causing loss of control and a collision. See Figure 4 of the attached sketch for lug nut
description."

Lug Nut Torque Patterns
IMPORTANT
Check all parts, including rims, lug studs, lug nuts, and mating surfaces of hubs and tire rims for
rust, damage, or dirt. Clean mating surfaces with a wire brush to remove any foreign material.
Replace any damaged parts as needed. Careless installation of tire/rim assemblies in a vehicle is a
major cause of tire installation problems. Proper installation, including fastener torque, is essential
to economical, safe and trouble free service. Use only the proper sizes and types of fasteners for
safe and proper service. Tighten the fasteners a quarter turn at a time using the tightening
sequence diagram as a guide. This is very important to prevent misalignment of the wheel.
Continue tightening the fasteners in sequence until the fasteners are tightened to the proper torque
(See WHEEL FASTENER TORQUE).
CAUTION: Improper torque or tightening sequence can cause distortion, fatigue cracks, or
alignment problems. After driving the vehicle for a short distance, recheck the wheel fastener
torque. Parts will usually seat naturally, reducing the torque on the fasteners. Retorque all
fasteners to the proper torque.

Diagnosis
Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
COMPRESSION TEST
1. Ensure oil in crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at proper level and battery is properly
charged. Operate vehicle until engine is at normal
operating temperature. Turn OFF ignition switch, then remove all spark plugs.
2. Set throttle plates (and choke plates, if equipped) in wide-open position. 3. Install a compression
gauge such as Rotunda Compression Tester 059-00009 or equivalent in No. 1 cylinder. 4. Install
an auxiliary starter switch in starting circuit. With ignition switch in the OFF position, and using
auxiliary starter switch, crank engine at
least five compression strokes and record highest reading. Note the approximate number of
compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
5. Repeat test on each cylinder cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.
TEST CONCLUSION
1. The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest. 2. If one or more cylinders read low, squirt
approximately one tablespoon of heavy SAE 50 weight or equivalent engine oil on top of the
pistons in
the low reading cylinders. Repeat compression pressure check on these cylinders. a. If
compression improves considerably, piston rings are at fault. b. If compression does not improve,
valves are sticking or seating poorly. c. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low compression
pressures and squirting oil on pistons does not increase compression, cause may be a
cylinder head gasket leak between cylinders. Engine oil and/or coolant in cylinders could result
from this problem.

This article is being republished in its entirety to advise dealership technicians that the number five
(5) rear main bearing is not affected and does not require service.
ISSUE: A low end "knocking" noise right after cold and/or warm engine start-up may be caused by
excessive main bearing clearances in one (1) through four (4) of the five (5) main bearing journals.
This condition may also be mildly present when the vehicle engine is under a no load (float)
condition. The "knocking" noise can be described as sounding like a few sharp "raps".
ACTION: To correct this, use the following diagnostic and service procedure to determine if
oversize bearings should be installed in main bearing journals one (1) through four (4). Refer to the
bearing usage chart below for service part applications.

1. Refer to the appropriate Shop Manual and Gasoline Engine Overhaul Manual for instruction in
determining "knock" noise.
2. In addition, using an open stethoscope, search around exhaust manifold joint, thermactor system
components, etc. for pulsing air or exhaust leaks that can be confused with "knocking" noise. Make
sure that powertrain components and exhaust system components are not grounding out on body
or chassis parts.
3. Using a contact stethoscope, locate source of "knock" (high or low, front or rear of engine, etc.).
If "knock" seems to be low in engine, and is present as a few sharp "raps" right after start-up but
remains under no-load or "float" conditions, main bearing clearances are likely to be the cause.
4. Remove oil pan as outlined in the appropriate Shop Manual, Section 21-21.
5. Using a "plastigage" and following procedure in appropriate Shop Manual, Section 21-01,
determine main bearing clearances in journal numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 ONLY.
6. If measured clearance is less than .002 at any journal, no action is required at journal. If
measured clearance is greater than .002, but less than .003, install a "blue" half shell in main
bearing cap only. Refer to bearing usage chart for correct service part number.
NOTE: It is not necessary to measure clearance and/or replace the number five (5) main bearing.
7. If measured clearance is greater than .003, install a "green" half shell in main bearing cap only.
Refer to bearing usage chart for correct service part number.

This article is being republished in its entirety to advise dealership technicians that the number five
(5) rear main bearing is not affected and does not require service.
ISSUE: A low end "knocking" noise right after cold and/or warm engine start-up may be caused by
excessive main bearing clearances in one (1) through four (4) of the five (5) main bearing journals.
This condition may also be mildly present when the vehicle engine is under a no load (float)
condition. The "knocking" noise can be described as sounding like a few sharp "raps".
ACTION: To correct this, use the following diagnostic and service procedure to determine if
oversize bearings should be installed in main bearing journals one (1) through four (4). Refer to the
bearing usage chart below for service part applications.

1. Refer to the appropriate Shop Manual and Gasoline Engine Overhaul Manual for instruction in
determining "knock" noise.
2. In addition, using an open stethoscope, search around exhaust manifold joint, thermactor system
components, etc. for pulsing air or exhaust leaks that can be confused with "knocking" noise. Make
sure that powertrain components and exhaust system components are not grounding out on body
or chassis parts.
3. Using a contact stethoscope, locate source of "knock" (high or low, front or rear of engine, etc.).
If "knock" seems to be low in engine, and is present as a few sharp "raps" right after start-up but
remains under no-load or "float" conditions, main bearing clearances are likely to be the cause.
4. Remove oil pan as outlined in the appropriate Shop Manual, Section 21-21.
5. Using a "plastigage" and following procedure in appropriate Shop Manual, Section 21-01,
determine main bearing clearances in journal numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 ONLY.
6. If measured clearance is less than .002 at any journal, no action is required at journal. If
measured clearance is greater than .002, but less than .003, install a "blue" half shell in main
bearing cap only. Refer to bearing usage chart for correct service part number.
NOTE: It is not necessary to measure clearance and/or replace the number five (5) main bearing.
7. If measured clearance is greater than .003, install a "green" half shell in main bearing cap only.
Refer to bearing usage chart for correct service part number.

8. If, after checking bearing clearance at journals 1, 2, 3, and 4, measured clearance is still greater
than .003, install a "green" half shell in upper (block) half as well as in main bearing cap. Refer to
bearing usage chart for correct service part numbers.

ISSUE: An unusual "metal-to-metal" noise from the engine may be caused by the flexing of the
torque converter. The flexing condition causes an interference between the torque converter and
flywheel bolts. The interference can cause the thrust bearing and the crankshaft to wear
prematurely and eventually fail.
ACTION: Install six (6) new flywheel bolts with reduced head height to provide additional clearance.
Refer to the appropriate Shop Manual, 5.0L Engine Section, for service details.
NOTE: WHEN A CRANKSHAFT IS REPLACED DUE TO THRUST BEARING FAILURE, INSTALL

Fig. 3 Checking collapsed tappet clearance
Valves, Adjust To provide a means to compensate for dimensional changes in the valve train and
provide for valve adjustment, .060 inch shorter or longer pushrods are available. If the valve
clearance is less than the minimum, the .060 inch shorter pushrod should be used. If the clearance
is more than the maximum, the longer pushrod should be used. To check the valve clearance,
proceed as follows:
1. Mark crankshaft pulley at three locations, with No. 1 location at TDC timing mark (end of
compression stroke), location No. 2 one full turn (360°) clockwise from TDC and No. 3 location one
quarter turn clockwise (90°) from position No. 2, Fig. 2.
2. Turn crankshaft to number 1 location, then compress valve lifter using tool T71P-6513-A or
equivalent, Fig. 3, and check the clearance on the following valves:
a. On V8-302 and 460 engines, check intake valve Nos. 1 , 7 and 8; exhaust valve Nos. 1, 4 and 5.
b. On V8-351, check intake valve Nos. 1, 4 and No. 8; exhaust valve Nos. 1, 3 and 7.
3. Turn crankshaft to number 2 location, then compress valve lifter using tool T71P-6513-A or
equivalent, Fig. 3, and check the clearance on the following valves:
a. On V8-301 and 460 engines check intake valve Nos. 4 and 5; exhaust valve Nos. 2 and 6. b. On
V8-351 engines, check intake valve Nos. 3 and 7; exhaust valve Nos. 2 and 6.
4. Turn crankshaft to number 3 location, then compress valve lifter using tool T71P-6513-A or
equivalent and check the clearance on the following valves:
a. V8-302 and 460 engines check intake valve Nos. 2, 3 and 6; exhaust valve Nos. 3, 7 and 8. b.
On V8-351 engines, check intake valve Nos. 2, 5 and 6; exhaust valve Nos. 4, 5 and 8.

Fuel Pressure Release: Service and Repair
CAUTION: FUEL SUPPLY LINES ON EFI ENGINES WILL REMAIN PRESSURIZED FOR SOME
PERIOD OF TIME AFTER THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF. THIS PRESSURE MUST BE RELIEVED
BEFORE SERVICING OF THE FUEL SYSTEM IS BEGUN.
FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELIEF - EFI ENGINES
Before opening the fuel system on vehicles with EFI engines, relieve fuel pressure as follows: 1.
Locate and disconnect the electrical connection to either the fuel pump relay, the inertia switch or
the in-line high pressure fuel pump.
2. Crank engine for approximately ten seconds.
Note: Engine may start and run for a short time. If so, crank engine an additional 5 seconds after
engine stalls.
3. Re-connect the electrical connector that was disconnected in step 1 and disconnect battery
ground cable.
Alternative Method
Some EFI vehicles have a port (fitting) on the fuel rail used for measuring fuel pressure. If so
equipped, use the following method: Install fuel pressure relief tool No. T80L-9974-B or equivalent to measuring port on engine fuel rail.
- Position drain hose in suitable container, then depress relief button.

Valve guides in these engines are an integral part of the head and, therefore, cannot be removed.
For service, guides can be reamed oversize to accommodate one of three service valves with
oversize stems (.003 inch, .015 inch and .030 inch). Check the valve stem clearance of each valve
(after cleaning) in its respective valve guide. If the clearance exceeds the service limits of .004 inch
of the intake or .005 inch on the exhaust, ream the valve guides to accommodate the next oversize
diameter valve.

MOAN/DRONE (5.0L/5.8L) - 2100 2800 RPM
LIGHT TRUCK 1983-85 ECONOLINE, F150-350, BRONCO
A moan/drone condition encountered at 55-65 mph may be a 2100-2800 engine rpm-related
condition. Diagnosis and servicing will require a good road test followed by servicing of: 1) engine
mounting, 2) exhaust hanger, 3) alternator pulley, and 4) alternator/thermactor braces depending
on vehicle model and engine combination.
1. Road Test & Service Engine Mountings
a. Road test vehicle. The vehicle should be equipped with a portable tachometer and driven at a
road speed of 55-65 MPH (engine speed of 2100-2800 RPM). The A/C system should be in the
"off" position and the vehicle should be
evaluated on a smooth surfaced road or highway. If the road test verifies a "drone/ moan"
condition, then the following procedures should be followed:
Figure 25
b. On Bronco and F150-350 vehicles, loosen the No. 3 crossmember/rear engine support gussets
at the attachment to the crossmember. If the gussets pull away from the crossmember, add shims
to the gap. Retighten mounting bolts (install larger bolts if required). Refer to attached Figure 25).
c. On model F150-350 (4x2)/E150-350 vehicles, inspect rear engine insulator (mount) for correct
usage of Engineering Part E3TA-6D091-A/Service Part E0TZ-6068-B (white color code). Install
correct part if required. Inspect mount for correct orientation of "capture strap" which could bind up
the mount.
With the vehicle on a two-post hoist, neutralize the front and rear engine support insulators (front
and rear engine mounts) by loosening the front and rear engine mounts attaching bolts (attaching
front mounts to support bracket and the rear mount to the No. 3 crossmember.
Lower the vehicle and place safety stands under the front and rear axles. Start the engine and shift
the automatic transmission into "drive" and back into "neutral" several times while engine is idling.
With manual transmission, load engine by shifting transmission into forward and reverse gears and,
with the parking brake partially applied, slip the clutch to load the engine. Raise the vehicle and
remove the axle stands. Retorque front and rear engine mount attaching bolts (refer to Section
21-21 of 1983-1984 Light Truck Shop Manual for torque specifications). Lower vehicle and remove
from hoist.
d. Re-road test to establish concern resolution. If concern is not resolved, continue procedure.

MOAN/DRONE (5.0L/5.8L) - 2100 2800 RPM
LIGHT TRUCK 1983-85 ECONOLINE, F150-350, BRONCO
A moan/drone condition encountered at 55-65 mph may be a 2100-2800 engine rpm-related
condition. Diagnosis and servicing will require a good road test followed by servicing of: 1) engine
mounting, 2) exhaust hanger, 3) alternator pulley, and 4) alternator/thermactor braces depending
on vehicle model and engine combination.
1. Road Test & Service Engine Mountings
a. Road test vehicle. The vehicle should be equipped with a portable tachometer and driven at a
road speed of 55-65 MPH (engine speed of 2100-2800 RPM). The A/C system should be in the
"off" position and the vehicle should be
evaluated on a smooth surfaced road or highway. If the road test verifies a "drone/ moan"
condition, then the following procedures should be followed:
Figure 25
b. On Bronco and F150-350 vehicles, loosen the No. 3 crossmember/rear engine support gussets
at the attachment to the crossmember. If the gussets pull away from the crossmember, add shims
to the gap. Retighten mounting bolts (install larger bolts if required). Refer to attached Figure 25).
c. On model F150-350 (4x2)/E150-350 vehicles, inspect rear engine insulator (mount) for correct
usage of Engineering Part E3TA-6D091-A/Service Part E0TZ-6068-B (white color code). Install
correct part if required. Inspect mount for correct orientation of "capture strap" which could bind up
the mount.
With the vehicle on a two-post hoist, neutralize the front and rear engine support insulators (front
and rear engine mounts) by loosening the front and rear engine mounts attaching bolts (attaching
front mounts to support bracket and the rear mount to the No. 3 crossmember.
Lower the vehicle and place safety stands under the front and rear axles. Start the engine and shift
the automatic transmission into "drive" and back into "neutral" several times while engine is idling.
With manual transmission, load engine by shifting transmission into forward and reverse gears and,
with the parking brake partially applied, slip the clutch to load the engine. Raise the vehicle and
remove the axle stands. Retorque front and rear engine mount attaching bolts (refer to Section
21-21 of 1983-1984 Light Truck Shop Manual for torque specifications). Lower vehicle and remove
from hoist.
d. Re-road test to establish concern resolution. If concern is not resolved, continue procedure.

ISSUE: The "markings" on the engine oil level dipstick (indicator) may not be read correctly or
could possibly be misinterpreted. This can result in overfilling the engine with oil in newly delivered
vehicles or thinking that the engine has been overfilled with the specified amount of oil during oil
and filter changes.
ACTION: If service is required, use the following guidelines to make sure of correct oil fill.
NOTE: PROPER OIL FILL IS BASED ON A SPECIFIED VOLUME AND IS LISTED IN THE
"VEHICLE ENGINE OIL LEVEL CAPACITY SPECIFICATION CHART" AND THE "FLUID REFILL
CAPACITIES CHART" OF THE VEHICLE OWNERS GUIDE. USE THESE RECOMMENDED
VOLUMES WHENEVER REFILLING THE ENGINE WITH OIL.
FIGURE 6
Old Style Design Dipstick
On "MAX/ADD" style dipsticks the "MAX" line represents an allowable tolerance limit of
approximately 1/2 quart above the specified (normal) engine operating level, Figure 6. The oil level
of a properly filled engine should indicate an oil level reading in the upper crosshatched area of the
dipstick.
NOTE: DO NOT "TOP OFF" TO THE "MAX" LINE. IF THE OIL LEVEL GOES ABOVE THE "MAX"
LINE, A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF OIL SHOULD BE REMOVED TO BRING THE OIL LEVEL
READING BACK INTO THE CROSSHATCHED AREA OF THE DIPSTICK.
New Style Design Dipstick
On "FULL/ADD", "FULL/ADD 1 QUART" or "F" style dipsticks the oil level of an engine filled with
the correct amount of oil, as listed in the "Vehicle Oil Capacity Specification Chart" will normally
occur slightly above the "FULL" line, Figure 6. This occurs because the "FULL" mark on the
dipstick

represents the lowest level of oil that could occur when an engine is filled with the specified volume
of oil. This variation in oil level is due to manufacturing tolerances and oil level checking conditions.

Figure 17 - Dipstick
To correctly check the engine oil level, the vehicle must be parked on a level surface. Allow a few
minutes after shutting the engine off for oil to drain down before checking. For consistent oil level
readings, insert the dipstick with the loop of the handle as shown in Figure 17.
Figure 18 - Dipstick - Calibration
Figure 19 - Dipstick - Calibration
Dipsticks in Ford vehicles do not incorporate a Full mark. Instead, the dipstick will have marks
indicating a Safe range and an Add range as shown in Figure 18 or 19. When the correct amount
of oil is in the engine, the oil level indication will be in the Safe range or above the Minimum mark,
but not necessarily at the top of the Safe range or at the Maximum mark.
When the indicated oil level is in the Add range put one quart of oil in the engine. Recheck the oil
level to determine if the oil level is now in the Safe range or above the Minimum mark.
Add and recheck oil level one quart at a time until the oil level indicator moves into the Safe range
or above the Minimum mark. Do not add additional oil to bring the level to the top of the Safe range
or to the Maximum mark since this may result in overfill and increased oil consumption. If the
accuracy of the engine oil dipstick is in doubt, it may be verified in the following manner:
^ Drain the oil and install a new filter.
^ Put in the specified amount of oil for an oil and filter change. (See owner guide)
^ Start the engine and operate a few minutes.
^ Shut off the engine and allow a few minutes for the oil to drain down.
^ Check the oil level with the dipstick.
^ If the oil level does not indicate in the Safe range or above the Minimum mark, rework or replace
the dipstick.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Engine Lubrication > Oil Pressure Gauge > Component
Information > Testing and Inspection
Oil Pressure Gauge: Testing and Inspection
This oil pressure indicating system incorporates an instrument voltage regulator, electrical oil
pressure gauge and a sending unit which are connected in series. The sending unit consists of a
diaphragm, contact and a variable resistor. As oil pressure increases or decreases, the diaphragm
actuated the contact on the variable resistor, in turn controlling current flow to the gauge. When oil
pressure is low, the resistance of the variable resistor is high, restricting current flow to the gauge,
in turn indicating low oil pressure. As oil pressure increases, the resistance of the variable resistor
is lowered, permitting an increased current flow to the gauge, resulting in an increased gauge
reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions
included with the tester.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Engine Lubrication > Oil Pressure Warning
Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Testing and Inspection
Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
Many trucks utilize a warning light on the instrument panel in place of the conventional dash
indicating gauge to warn the driver when the oil pressure is dangerously low. The warning light is
wired in series with the ignition switch and the engine unit--which is an oil pressure switch. The oil
pressure switch contains a diaphragm and a set of contacts. When the ignition switch is turned on,
the warning light circuit is energized and the circuit is completed through the closed contacts in the
pressure switch. When the engine is started, build-up of oil pressure compresses the diaphragm,
opening the contacts, thereby breaking the circuit and putting out the light.
TROUBLESHOOTING The oil pressure warning light should go on when the ignition is turned on. If
it does not light, disconnect the wire from the engine unit and ground the wire to the frame or
cylinder block. Then if the warning light still does not go on with the ignition switch on, replace the
bulb. If the warning light goes on when the wire is grounded to the frame or cylinder block, the
engine unit should be checked for being loose or poorly grounded. If the unit is found to be tight
and properly grounded, it should be removed and a new one installed. (The presence of sealing
compound on the threads of the engine unit will cause a poor ground). If the warning light remains
lit when it normally should be out, replace the engine unit before proceeding further to determine
the cause for a low pressure indication. The warning light will sometimes light up or flicker when the
engine is idling, even though the oil pressure is adequate. However, the light should go out when
the engine speed is increased.

Oil Level Warning Indicator: Description and Operation
This system is used to indicate a low engine oil level condition. The lamp will be illuminated during
engine starting. If oil level is sufficient, the lamp will go off when engine is operating. If oil level is
low the lamp will remain on until engine oil is added and the ignition switch is placed in the Off
position. The module may take a few minutes to reset. If the engine is started during this period,
the last recorded reading will be displayed.

Component Information > Testing and Inspection
Oil Pressure Gauge: Testing and Inspection
This oil pressure indicating system incorporates an instrument voltage regulator, electrical oil
pressure gauge and a sending unit which are connected in series. The sending unit consists of a
diaphragm, contact and a variable resistor. As oil pressure increases or decreases, the diaphragm
actuated the contact on the variable resistor, in turn controlling current flow to the gauge. When oil
pressure is low, the resistance of the variable resistor is high, restricting current flow to the gauge,
in turn indicating low oil pressure. As oil pressure increases, the resistance of the variable resistor
is lowered, permitting an increased current flow to the gauge, resulting in an increased gauge
reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions
included with the tester.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Lamps and Indicators - Engine > Oil Pressure Warning
Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Testing and Inspection
Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
Many trucks utilize a warning light on the instrument panel in place of the conventional dash
indicating gauge to warn the driver when the oil pressure is dangerously low. The warning light is
wired in series with the ignition switch and the engine unit--which is an oil pressure switch. The oil
pressure switch contains a diaphragm and a set of contacts. When the ignition switch is turned on,
the warning light circuit is energized and the circuit is completed through the closed contacts in the
pressure switch. When the engine is started, build-up of oil pressure compresses the diaphragm,
opening the contacts, thereby breaking the circuit and putting out the light.
TROUBLESHOOTING The oil pressure warning light should go on when the ignition is turned on. If
it does not light, disconnect the wire from the engine unit and ground the wire to the frame or
cylinder block. Then if the warning light still does not go on with the ignition switch on, replace the
bulb. If the warning light goes on when the wire is grounded to the frame or cylinder block, the
engine unit should be checked for being loose or poorly grounded. If the unit is found to be tight
and properly grounded, it should be removed and a new one installed. (The presence of sealing
compound on the threads of the engine unit will cause a poor ground). If the warning light remains
lit when it normally should be out, replace the engine unit before proceeding further to determine
the cause for a low pressure indication. The warning light will sometimes light up or flicker when the
engine is idling, even though the oil pressure is adequate. However, the light should go out when
the engine speed is increased.

DESIGN CHANGE - FRONT CRANKSHAFT 5.0L SEAL (4.9L)
LIGHT TRUCK 1985 E, F, BRONCO
Engines built from 5-16-85 have a new design front cover and crankshaft seal. The new seal is a
front entry, dual lip design. This is to improve oil control and allow replacement without removing
the front cover. The 4.9L seal is the same as the 5.0L seal so the procedure found in the 1985
Truck Shop Manual, Volume B, Section 21-21-25 (for 5.0L) should be used when replacing the
seal. The 1986 Shop Manual will reflect the proper procedure in the 4.9L engine section.

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1985-93 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES
ISSUE: Spark knock may be caused by variability in ignition PIP (Profile Ignition Pick-up) output
due to a combination of engine torsional vibrations and distributor electrical characteristics. A spark
advance spike is generated which repeats every eight firings.
ACTION: Perform the following Service Bay Diagnostic System procedure and, if necessary,
replace the distributor.
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING SBDS PROCEDURE MUST BE USED TO VERIFY IF THE SPECIFIED
CONDITION EXISTS ON A GIVEN EFI/TFI 5.0L/5.8L ENGINE. DISTRIBUTORS ON ENGINES
THAT HAVE A DETONATION CONCERN AND THAT DO NOT PASS THE SBDS TEST MUST
BE RETURNED THROUGH WARRANTY WITH A "BEFORE AND AFTER" PRINTOUT OF THE
SBDS IGNITION GRAPH (WITH THE SPIKING CLEARLY SHOWN) TO QUALIFY FOR
REIMBURSEMENT.
SERVICE BAY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM PROCEDURE
1. Use SBDS 60 pin roadtest monitor/record. Select parameters PIP and Spout.
2. Start the warm engine and idle for at least two (2) minutes to allow EEC IV to learn and correct
for normal PIP variance.
a. Record data using PVA pendant.
b. Store the data in a buffer.
3. Upload the data to the Cart and go to the playback graph mode.
4. Select Digital PIP and analog spark. Move the cursor to the smoothest (least noise) section of
the spark curve, Figure 1.

Spark Plug: Service and Repair
REMOVAL
- Remove the wire from each spark plug by grasping the molded boot with tool T74P-6666-A or
equivalent. Twist the boot until it loosens and then pull it off the spark plug. Do not pull on the wire,
as the connection may become damaged.
- Any wire damaged must be replaced. Each original spark plug wire is numbered for the cylinder to
which it is designated. If wires are not numbered, each wire should be numbered as to the plug
from which it was removed.
- Clean the area around each spark plug port with compressed air.
- Using the proper size spark plug socket remove the spark plugs.
INSTALLATION
Check the gap on each new spark plug and set to specification. See: Specifications
- Install each spark plug and tighten to 9-20 Nm (7-15 ft-lbs).
Cylinder Numbering And Distributor Location
Location On Distributor
- Coat the inside of each spark plug boot with silicone dielectric compound. Connect each spark
plug wire to the plug from which it was removed. Be sure each wire is fully depressed on each plug
and molded boot is firmly in place.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
COMPRESSION TEST
1. Ensure oil in crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at proper level and battery is properly
charged. Operate vehicle until engine is at normal
operating temperature. Turn OFF ignition switch, then remove all spark plugs.
2. Set throttle plates (and choke plates, if equipped) in wide-open position. 3. Install a compression
gauge such as Rotunda Compression Tester 059-00009 or equivalent in No. 1 cylinder. 4. Install
an auxiliary starter switch in starting circuit. With ignition switch in the OFF position, and using
auxiliary starter switch, crank engine at
least five compression strokes and record highest reading. Note the approximate number of
compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
5. Repeat test on each cylinder cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.
TEST CONCLUSION
1. The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest. 2. If one or more cylinders read low, squirt
approximately one tablespoon of heavy SAE 50 weight or equivalent engine oil on top of the
pistons in
the low reading cylinders. Repeat compression pressure check on these cylinders. a. If
compression improves considerably, piston rings are at fault. b. If compression does not improve,
valves are sticking or seating poorly. c. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low compression
pressures and squirting oil on pistons does not increase compression, cause may be a
cylinder head gasket leak between cylinders. Engine oil and/or coolant in cylinders could result
from this problem.
Compression Pressure Limit Chart
NOTE: Refer to the compression pressure limit chart for pressure specifications.

ISSUE: Ford Motor Company does not authorize the use of recycled engine coolant nor do they
sanction the use of any machines or devices that recycle engine coolant.
Recycled engine coolant is not equivalent to the factory fill OEM coolant, the Ford premium cooling
system fluid (E2FZ-19549-AA) or the Ford heavy duty low silicate cooling fluid (E6HZ-19549-A).
The quality of engine coolant degenerates with use. Recycling used engine coolant is very difficult
to do without exposing the used coolant to additional foreign substances. Merely adding an additive
to the coolant will not restore it.
ACTION: Use new engine coolant that meets Ford Motor coolant specifications for the engine
being serviced.
Properly dispose of the used coolant.
WARNING: THE DISPOSAL OF ALL USED ENGINE COOLANT MUST ALWAYS BE DONE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAWS AND
REGULATIONS.

Fan Blade: Testing and Inspection Inspection
WARNING: Do not operate engine until fan has first been inspected for cracks and/or separations.
If a fan blade is found to be bent or damaged in any way, do not attempt to repair or reuse
damaged part. Proper balance is essential in fan assembly operation. Balance cannot be assured
once a fan assembly has been found to be bent or damaged and failure may occur during
operation, creating an extremely dangerous condition. Always replace damaged fan assembly.
Place fan on flat surface with leading edge facing down. If there is a clearance between fan blade
touching surface and opposite blade of more than .090 inch (2 mm), replace fan.

Fan Blade: Testing and Inspection Looseness
Lateral movement can be observed at the fan blade tip under various temperature conditions
because of the type bearing used. This movement should not exceed 1/4 inch (6.5 mm) as
measured at the fan tip. If this lateral movement does not exceed specifications, there is no cause
for replacement.

Fan Clutch: Testing and Inspection Fan Clutch Fluid Leak
Small fluid leaks do not generally affect the operation of the unit. These leaks generally occur
around the area of the bearing assembly, but if the leaks appear to be excessive, engine
overheating may occur. Check for clutch and fan free-wheeling by attempting to rotate fan and
clutch assembly by hand five times. If no drag is felt, replace clutch.

Fan Clutch: Testing and Inspection Fan Clutch Noise
Fan clutch noise can sometimes be noticed when clutch is engaged for maximum cooling. Clutch
noise is also noticeable within the first few minutes after starting engine while clutch is redistributing
the silicone fluid back to its normal, disengaged operating condition after settling for long periods of
time (over night). However, continuous fan noise or an excessive roar indicates the clutch
assembly is locked-up due to internal failure. This condition can be checked by attempting to
manually rotate fan. If fan cannot be rotated manually or there is a rough, abrasive feel as fan is
rotated, the clutch should be replaced.

Fan Clutch: Testing and Inspection Fan Clutch Operational Test
Do not operate the engine until the fan has been first checked for possible cracks and separations.
Run engine at a fast idle speed (1000 RPM) until normal operating temperature is reached. This
process can be done more quickly by blocking off the front of the radiator with cardboard.
Regardless of temperatures, unit must be operated for at least five minutes immediately before
being tested. Stop engine and using a glove or a cloth to protect the hand, immediately check the
effort required to turn the fan. If considerable effort is required, it can be assumed that coupling is
operating satisfactorily. If very little effort is required to turn the fan, it is an indication that the
coupling is not operating properly and should be replaced.
Bi-Metallic Coiled Spring Removal
The clutch fan may be tested while vehicle is being driven. To check, disconnect the bimetal spring,
Fig. 2, and rotate 90° counterclockwise. This disables the temperature-controlled, free-wheeling
feature and the clutch performs like a conventional fan. If this cures the overheating condition,
replace the clutch fan.

HEATER CORE - LEAK - DIAGNOSTIC TIPS
FORD ALL
LINCOLN-MERCURY ALL
LIGHT TRUCK ALL
Good heater cores are being returned through the parts return system coded as leaking.
Complaints of leaking may be caused by an inadequate seal between the heater hose and the
heater core tubes allowing coolant to follow the tube to the heater core, leak into the passenger
compartment and appear as a leaking heater core.
When diagnosing a suspect heater core leak, inspect the hose to heater core tube attachment to
assure the connection is not leaking. If a leaking connection is found, correct the leak. If the
connection appears not to be leaking, leak test the heater core before removing it from the vehicle
using the following procedure:
HEATER CORE LEAK TEST
Pressure Test 1.
Drain the coolant from the cooling system.
2. Disconnect the heater hoses from the heater core tubes.
3. Install a short piece of heater hose (approximately 4 inches long) on each heater core tube.
Figure 1
4. Fill the heater core and hoses with water and install plug BT-7422-B and adapter BT-7422-A
from Rotunda model 021-00012 or equivalent in the hose ends (Figure 1). Secure the hoses, plug
and adapter with hose clamps.

heater core (Figure 3).
6. Observe the pressure gauge for a minimum of three minutes. The pressure should not drop.
7. If the pressure does not drop, no leaks are indicated.
8. If the pressure drops, check the hose connections to the core tubes for leaks. If the hoses do not
leak, remove the heater core from the vehicle and perform the bench test.
Bench Test 1.
Drain all coolant from the heater core.

Temperature Gauge: Testing and Inspection Dash Gauge Test
Gauge failures are often caused by defective wiring or grounds. The first step in locating trouble
should be a thorough inspection of all wiring, terminals and printed circuits. If wiring is secured by
clamps, check to see whether the insulation has been severed, thereby grounding the wire. In the
case of a fuel gauge installation, rust may cause failure by corrosion at the ground connection of
the tank unit. The Constant Voltage Regulator (CVR) type indicator is a bimetal-resistance type
system consisting of an Instrument Voltage Regulator (IVR), an indicator gauge, and a variable
resistance sending unit. Current to the system is applied to the gauge terminals by the IVR, which
maintains an average-pulsating value of 5 volts. The indicator gauge consists of a pointer which is
attached to a wire-wound bimetal strip. Current passing through the coil heats the bimetal strip,
causing the pointer to move. As more current passes through the coil, heat increases, moving the
pointer farther. The circuit is completed through a sending unit which contains a variable resistor.
When resistance is high, less current is allowed to pass through the gauge, and the pointer moves
very little. As resistance decreases due to changing conditions in system being monitored, more
current passes through gauge coil, causing pointer to move farther. Do not apply battery voltage to
system or ground output terminals of IVR, as damage to system components or wiring circuits may
result.
DASH GAUGE TEST
1. Disconnect battery ground cable and remove gauge from vehicle.
2. Connect ohmmeter between gauge terminals and read coil winding resistance.
3. An upward movement of ohmmeter needle from 10 ohms to 14 ohms is normal, as test current
of ohmmeter causes a temperature rise in gauge coil windings.
4. If ohmmeter reads below 10 ohms or above 14 ohms, gauge is defective.

Temperature Gauge: Testing and Inspection Electrical Temperature Gauges
This temperature indicating system consists of a sending unit, located on the cylinder head,
electrical temperature gauge and an instrument voltage regulator. As engine temperature increases
or decreases, the resistance of the sending unit changes, in turn controlling current flow to the
gauge. When engine temperature is low, the resistance of the sending unit is high, restricting
current flow to the gauge, in turn indicating low engine temperature. As engine temperature
increases, the resistance of the ending unit decreases, permitting an increased current flow to the
gauge, resulting in an increased temperature reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions
included with the tester.

Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
A bimetal temperature switch located in the cylinder head control the operation of a temperature
indicator light with a red lens. If the engine cooling system is not functioning properly and coolant
temperature exceeds a predetermined value, the warning light will illuminate.
TROUBLESHOOTING If the red light is not lit when the engine is being cranked, check for a
burned out bulb, an open in the light circuit, or a defective ignition switch. If the red light is lit when
the engine is running, check the wiring between light and switch for a ground, defective
temperature switch, or overheated cooling system. As a test circuit to check whether the red bulb is
functioning properly, a wire which is connected to the ground terminal of the ignition switch is
tapped into its circuit. When the ignition is in the ``Start'' (engine cranking) position, the ground
terminal is grounded inside the switch and the red bulb will be lit. When the engine is started and
the ignition switch is in the ``On'' position, the test circuit is opened and the bulb is then controlled
by the temperature switch.

Use the following "Cooling System Diagnosis" procedure to diagnose a cooling system that may
not be reaching normal operating temperature. Follow the "Thermostat Diagnosis" procedure to
determine if the thermostat may be at fault. Check the thermostat without removing it from the
vehicle by using Rotunda Service Coolant Temperature Monitor Harness 007-00064.
A new cooling system diagnosis procedure has been developed for engines that do not reach
normal operating temperature. A new thermostat diagnosis procedure also has been developed,
using a new service coolant temperature monitor harness.
NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE WILL DIAGNOSE ONLY COOLING SYSTEMS THAT MAY NOT BE
REACHING NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. IT WILL NOT DIAGNOSE A
THERMOSTAT THAT CAUSES AN ENGINE OVERHEAT CONDITION.
NOTE: THE ESCORT/TRACER SPECIFIC APPLICATION FOR THIS ARTICLE IS AS FOLLOWS:

NOTE: DISCONNECTING THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) TO ATTACH A
BREAKOUT BOX OR AN EEC IV MONITOR WILL ERASE THE ADAPTIVE LEARNING FROM
MEMORY AND MAY "HIDE" A DRIVE CONCERN TEMPORARILY UNTIL THE ADAPTIVE
LEARNING IS RE-LEARNED.
NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE IS MOST ACCURATE IF PERFORMED INDOORS AT LESS THAN
100~F (38~C) AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. THIS TEST MAY BE PERFORMED WITH OR
WITHOUT THE HOOD OPEN AND WITH THE ENGINE WARM OR COLD.
CAUTION: ALWAYS VENT THE EXHAUST TO THE OUTSIDE WHEN PERFORMING THIS
TEST.
1. Check the coolant level in the radiator and coolant recovery reservoir.
2. With the key in the "off" position, proceed as follows:
a. Remove the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor harness connector.
b. Attach Rotunda Service Coolant Temperature Monitor Harness 007-00064 as a jumper between
the PCM and the ECT.
c. Attach Rotunda 73 Digital Multimeter 105-00051 or equivalent to the thermostat monitor harness.

monitored while the sensor retains its connection to the wiring harness.
NOTE: A ROTUNDA NEW GENERATION STAR TESTER (NGS) 007-00500 OR THE ROTUNDA
SERVICE BAY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (SBDS) 001-00001 MAY BE USED TO MONITOR THE
ECT ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH DATA COMMUNICATIONS LINK (DCL). THE SBDS
SEQUENCE TO USE FOR THE SCREEN IS "TOOLBOX - ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROL
AND DCL - ITEM".
3. Vehicles equipped with electric engine cooling fan(s) must have a fan running during this test
(high or low speed may be used). Two methods may be used to turn the fan(s) on:
a. Disconnect the A/C compressor clutch power supply and turn the climate control to A/C "ON". Or
b. Disconnect the power supply to the cooling fan and supply 12 volts direct to the fan connector
from the battery.
NOTE: A GROUND MAY BE REQUIRED FOR SOME APPLICATIONS.
4. Place transmission in "park" or "neutral".
NOTE: RUNNING THIS TEST WITH THE VEHICLE IN GEAR OR WITH THE A/C COMPRESSOR
CLUTCH ENGAGED (RUNNING) WILL CAUSE IMPROPER DIAGNOSIS
5. Start the engine and allow to idle throughout this test:
a. Allow engine to run for 2 minutes, then record ECT voltage.
b. From now on, record ECT voltage every 60 seconds.
c. When the ECT voltage trend changes direction or changes only slightly (0.03 volts or less) from
the previous reading, record this as the thermostat opening voltage.
d. Use the "Voltage and Corresponding Temperature Chart" shown to obtain actual coolant
temperatures.
6. If the opening voltage is GREATER than 0.75 volts (less than 18~ F/ 82~ C), or 0.85 volts (170~
F/ 77~ C) for 2.3L HSC engine only, replace the thermostat. Refer to the dealer Master Parts
Catalog for correct thermostat usage.
7. If the thermostat opening voltage is LESS than 0.75 volts (greater than 180~ F/ 82~ C), or 0.85
volts (170~ F/ 77~ C) for 2.3L HSC engine only, the thermostat is good and should NOT be
replaced. The "Cooling System Diagnosis Chart" should be referenced for further instructions.

]All water pumps have a sealed bearing integral with the water pump shaft. The bearing requires no
lubrication. A bleed hole in the pump housing allows water that may leak past the seal to be thrown
out by the slinger. This is not a lubrication hole. If the pump is damaged and requires repair,
replace it with a new pump or a rebuilt one.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation Dual Catalytic Converter
Fig. 17 Dual catalytic converter
This converter consists of two catalytic converters in one shell, with a mixing chamber in between
the two, Fig. 17. Each converter is composed of a ceramic ``honey comb'' coated with a
rhodium/platinum catalyst designed to control oxides of nitrogen (NOx), unburned hydrocarbons
(HC) and carbon monoxide (CO), and is therefore called a ``three way catalyst'' (TWC). The rear
converter is coated with platinum catalyst and is called a ``conventional'' oxidation catalyst'' (COC)
converter. The platinum catalyst is also called a ``two way catalyst'' since it only acts on two of the
major pollutants, HC and CO.
The TWC converter acts on the exhaust gases from the engine. As the gases flow from the TWC to
the COC converter, they mix with air from the thermactor pump injected into the mixing chamber or
``mid-bed''. This air is required for proper oxidation of HC and CO in the COC converter.

Fig. 6 Dual type catalytic converter
The catalytic converter used on some vehicles, serves two purposes: it permits a faster chemical
reaction to take place and although it enters into the chemical reaction, it remains unchanged,
ready to repeat the process. The catalytic converter combines hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon
monoxide (CO) with oxygen to form water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The catalyst is
structured in the form of a honeycomb monolithic composition, Figs. 4,5 and 6 . The catalyst
consists of a porous substrate of an inert material, coated with platinum and other noble metals
(the catalytically active materials.) This device, located in the exhaust system between the exhaust
manifold and muffler, requires the use of heat shields, in some cases, due to its high operating
temperatures. The heat shields are necessary to protect chassis components, passenger
compartment and other areas from heat related damage. A small diameter fuel tank filler tube neck
is incorporated to prevent the larger service station pump nozzle, used for leaded fuels, being
inserted into the filler tube, thereby preventing system contamination. Since the use of leaded fuels
contaminates the catalysts, deteriorating its effectiveness, the use of unleaded fuels is mandatory
in vehicles equipped with catalytic converters. The catalytic converter can tolerate small amounts of
leaded fuels without permanently reducing the catalyst effectiveness. There are basically three
types of catalysts, the conventional oxidation catalyst (COC) containing Platinum (Pt) and
Palladium (Pd) which are effective for catalyzing the oxidation reactions of hydrocarbons (HC) and
carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. A three-way catalyst (TWC) containing Platinum (Pt) and
Rhodium (RH), is not only effective for catalyzing the oxidation reactions of HC and CO emissions,
but it also catalyzes the reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx). A light off catalyst (LOC) is a single
bed converter. It is arranged in series with the main catalytic converter assembly of COC and/or
TWC as the aft member(s). This converter is designed to perform the very specialized function of
exhaust emission control during engine warm-up when the main converter(s) is not yet at the
temperature required for maximum efficiency. The LOC is designed to operate effectively in the
high environmental conditions that exist near the manifold flange. The LOC is designed with a
minimum heat sink effect and, provides minimum delay in warm-up of the main catalytic
converter(s). The oxidation catalyst requires the use of a secondary air source which is provided by
the pulse air or thermactor air injection systems.

LIGHT TRUCK 1983-85 ECONOLINE, F150-350, BRONCO
A moan/drone condition encountered at 55-65 mph may be a 2100-2800 engine rpm-related
condition. Diagnosis and servicing will require a good road test followed by servicing of: 1) engine
mounting, 2) exhaust hanger, 3) alternator pulley, and 4) alternator/thermactor braces depending
on vehicle model and engine combination.
1. Road Test & Service Engine Mountings
a. Road test vehicle. The vehicle should be equipped with a portable tachometer and driven at a
road speed of 55-65 MPH (engine speed of 2100-2800 RPM). The A/C system should be in the
"off" position and the vehicle should be
evaluated on a smooth surfaced road or highway. If the road test verifies a "drone/ moan"
condition, then the following procedures should be followed:

assembly, Fig. 6. The processor receives input signals from the various sensors. The information
obtained is used by the processor to activate engine control systems to obtain optimum emission
control and performance. The calibration assembly is a permanent memory device that contains
information. The processor applies the sensor inputs to the stored information to determine when
and how long the various control systems should be applied.

Low mileage vehicles may experience an intermittent no start or stall at idle. This concern can be
experienced on all 1986 production vehicles or on vehicles that have had a TFI IV Ignition Module
Service replaced using part number E3EF-12A297-AlA.
If an internal short circuit occurs in some recently manufactured TFI IV Ignition Modules (part
number suffix A1A), the Hall sensor may become shorted to ground. At the moment of short, the
EEC processor will not receive a PIP signal and the vehicle will not start or may stall at idle. The
concern has been isolated to TFIIV Ignition Modules with a part number that contains the A1A
suffix and a manufacturing date code of 5FOl (85 June 01) through 6D17 (86 April 17). The date
code is heat stamped on the module connector shroud.
1. Follow normal Shop Manual, Volume H service procedures.
NOTE: This concern can be an intermittent condition and Intermittent Diagnostic Procedures may
have to be followed.
2. If replacement of the TFI IV Ignition Module is indicated, assure that service replacement part
contains a part number with a suffix of A2A or one with a suffix of A1A and a manufacturing date
code before 5FOl or after 6D17.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1985-93 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES
ISSUE: Spark knock may be caused by variability in ignition PIP (Profile Ignition Pick-up) output
due to a combination of engine torsional vibrations and distributor electrical characteristics. A spark
advance spike is generated which repeats every eight firings.
ACTION: Perform the following Service Bay Diagnostic System procedure and, if necessary,
replace the distributor.
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING SBDS PROCEDURE MUST BE USED TO VERIFY IF THE SPECIFIED
CONDITION EXISTS ON A GIVEN EFI/TFI 5.0L/5.8L ENGINE. DISTRIBUTORS ON ENGINES
THAT HAVE A DETONATION CONCERN AND THAT DO NOT PASS THE SBDS TEST MUST
BE RETURNED THROUGH WARRANTY WITH A "BEFORE AND AFTER" PRINTOUT OF THE
SBDS IGNITION GRAPH (WITH THE SPIKING CLEARLY SHOWN) TO QUALIFY FOR
REIMBURSEMENT.
SERVICE BAY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM PROCEDURE
1. Use SBDS 60 pin roadtest monitor/record. Select parameters PIP and Spout.
2. Start the warm engine and idle for at least two (2) minutes to allow EEC IV to learn and correct
for normal PIP variance.
a. Record data using PVA pendant.
b. Store the data in a buffer.
3. Upload the data to the Cart and go to the playback graph mode.
4. Select Digital PIP and analog spark. Move the cursor to the smoothest (least noise) section of
the spark curve, Figure 1.

5. Zoom in on the recording as much as possible. Look for timing spikes that REPEAT EVERY
EIGHTH FIRING OF THE DIGITAL PIP SIGNAL, Figure 2.
6. Move the cursor across all spikes to read the timing difference.
NOTE: THE SPARK ADVANCE WILL SPIKE UPWARD AT LEAST 20 ON SUSPECT VEHICLES.
7. Print the graph for warranty use.
^ Downward spikes would indicate a retarded spark condition and will NOT cause detonation.

ISSUE: Stalling and/or a no-start condition on vehicles with EEC IV and certain TFI modules may
be caused by moisture or salt splash entering at the upper right hand mounting hole of the TFI
module housing. This condition will result in a service code 14.
ACTION: To correct this, use the following diagnostic and service procedure to seal the hole and
prevent further concerns.
NOTE: The distributor does not have to be removed to perform this repair.
1. Check to see if the TFI-IV module part number suffix is A2A and the date code is 6K08 or prior,
(mounting hole was sealed after 6K08). If the suffix is not A2A, use normal diagnostic procedures
and do not perform Steps 2 and 3.
2. Thoroughly clean and dry upper right hand mounting hole of the TFI module with a clean paper
towel.
3. Fill the cleaned hole with silicone grease (D7AZ-19A331-A).
4. Clear service code 14 from memory.

Low mileage vehicles may experience an intermittent no start or stall at idle. This concern can be
experienced on all 1986 production vehicles or on vehicles that have had a TFI IV Ignition Module
Service replaced using part number E3EF-12A297-AlA.
If an internal short circuit occurs in some recently manufactured TFI IV Ignition Modules (part
number suffix A1A), the Hall sensor may become shorted to ground. At the moment of short, the
EEC processor will not receive a PIP signal and the vehicle will not start or may stall at idle. The
concern has been isolated to TFIIV Ignition Modules with a part number that contains the A1A
suffix and a manufacturing date code of 5FOl (85 June 01) through 6D17 (86 April 17). The date
code is heat stamped on the module connector shroud.
1. Follow normal Shop Manual, Volume H service procedures.
NOTE: This concern can be an intermittent condition and Intermittent Diagnostic Procedures may
have to be followed.
2. If replacement of the TFI IV Ignition Module is indicated, assure that service replacement part
contains a part number with a suffix of A2A or one with a suffix of A1A and a manufacturing date
code before 5FOl or after 6D17.

If your voltmeter has a high impedance, it will not draw enough current to show a voltage drop
when testing TFI power circuits for resistive connections. To assure an accurate test, attach a test
light between the circuit being tested and ground as shown. The light will draw current through the
connection and allow measurement of the voltage drop so a resistive connection can be identified.
IMPORTANT Do not use a test light while monitoring the PIP or SPOUT signal. The test light draws
more current than the signal circuit can supply. The test light should be used only on power circuits.

CALIBRATIONS: All with TFI Systems
If the TFI module fails and causes a short to ground, the primary winding of the ignition coil can be
damaged. The TFI diagnostic procedure published in the Shop Manual will not identify this
condition.
When servicing a weak or no spark condition, perform the following:
1. Check for spark using the procedures found in the Manual Information, Computerized Engine,
Quick Test Section, Test 1.
2. If there is no spark, test the coil primary resistance using Rotunda digital volt-ohmmeter
007-00001, as shown.
3. If the coil primary resistance is O.K., continue with the diagnostic procedure in Test 1.
4. If the coil primary resistance is not O.K., replace the coil and recheck for weak or no spark. If the
spark is now O.K., the problem is resolved.
5. If the spark is still NOT O.K., continue with normal diagnostic procedure in Test 1.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1985-93 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES
ISSUE: Spark knock may be caused by variability in ignition PIP (Profile Ignition Pick-up) output
due to a combination of engine torsional vibrations and distributor electrical characteristics. A spark
advance spike is generated which repeats every eight firings.
ACTION: Perform the following Service Bay Diagnostic System procedure and, if necessary,
replace the distributor.
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING SBDS PROCEDURE MUST BE USED TO VERIFY IF THE SPECIFIED
CONDITION EXISTS ON A GIVEN EFI/TFI 5.0L/5.8L ENGINE. DISTRIBUTORS ON ENGINES
THAT HAVE A DETONATION CONCERN AND THAT DO NOT PASS THE SBDS TEST MUST
BE RETURNED THROUGH WARRANTY WITH A "BEFORE AND AFTER" PRINTOUT OF THE
SBDS IGNITION GRAPH (WITH THE SPIKING CLEARLY SHOWN) TO QUALIFY FOR
REIMBURSEMENT.
SERVICE BAY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM PROCEDURE
1. Use SBDS 60 pin roadtest monitor/record. Select parameters PIP and Spout.
2. Start the warm engine and idle for at least two (2) minutes to allow EEC IV to learn and correct
for normal PIP variance.
a. Record data using PVA pendant.
b. Store the data in a buffer.
3. Upload the data to the Cart and go to the playback graph mode.
4. Select Digital PIP and analog spark. Move the cursor to the smoothest (least noise) section of
the spark curve, Figure 1.

5. Zoom in on the recording as much as possible. Look for timing spikes that REPEAT EVERY
EIGHTH FIRING OF THE DIGITAL PIP SIGNAL, Figure 2.
6. Move the cursor across all spikes to read the timing difference.
NOTE: THE SPARK ADVANCE WILL SPIKE UPWARD AT LEAST 20 ON SUSPECT VEHICLES.
7. Print the graph for warranty use.
^ Downward spikes would indicate a retarded spark condition and will NOT cause detonation.

If your voltmeter has a high impedance, it will not draw enough current to show a voltage drop
when testing TFI power circuits for resistive connections. To assure an accurate test, attach a test
light between the circuit being tested and ground as shown. The light will draw current through the
connection and allow measurement of the voltage drop so a resistive connection can be identified.
IMPORTANT Do not use a test light while monitoring the PIP or SPOUT signal. The test light draws
more current than the signal circuit can supply. The test light should be used only on power circuits.

Ignition Control Module: Description and Operation
Thick Film Ignition Module
The TFI IV ignition module, Fig. 14, has six connector pins at the wiring harness that supplies the
following signals:
Run Crank (start) Tach (coil) PIP (crankshaft position to ECA) Spark output (SPOUT from ECA)
Internal ground from the ECA to the distributor
Ignition System
The TFI IV module supplies the spark to the distributor through the ignition coil and calculates the
duration. It receives its control signal from the ECA (SPOUT) Fig. 29.
NOTE: Some later models use a remote module (Closed Bowl Distributors/CBD). It is located in the
engine compartment (Refer to "COMPONENT LOCATIONS"). The operation is essentially the
same with the exception of the CBD has a wiring harness between the ignition module and the
distributor.

Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Description and Operation
The vane air flow meter measures air flowing into the engine and is mounted between the air
cleaner and the throttle body assembly. The meter contains a movable vane directly connected to a
potentiometer. Air rushing through the vane air flow meter, changes the position of the vane and
potentiometer. The potentiometer relays vane position information to the EEC-IV module. The
EEC-IV module, then translates vane position information into the amount of air flowing into the
engine. An air temperature sensor is incorporated within the vane air flow meter. This sensor
constantly monitors air temperature entering the engine and also transmits the information to the
EEC-IV module. The EEC-IV module receives, then computes the air flow and air temperature
information and adjusts the fuel flow to obtain the optimum air/fuel mixture required.

1984---87 This switch, Fig. 19, controls spark timing and/or other electrical devices according to
barometric pressure changes. Calibration resistors in the switch assembly cause the ignition
module to vary the spark timing. Spark timing is advanced for vehicle operation above a
predetermined altitude and retarded for vehicle operation below a predetermined altitude. Some
switch assemblies control both spark timing and another device while other switch assemblies
control only one or the other.

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
Fig. 7 Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
The ECT, Fig. 7, sensor detects the temperature of engine coolant and supplies information to the
ECA assembly. The ECT sensor is threaded into the heater outlet fitting on the engine. For engine
control applications, the ECT signal is used to modify ignition timing, EGR flow and air/fuel mixture.
On models with an electronic instrument cluster, the ECT output is used to control the coolant
temperature indicator.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 2 Air charge temperature (ACT) sensor
This sensor, Fig. 2, provides the EFI system with air/fuel mixture temperature information. The air
charge temperature sensor is used both as a density corrector to air flow calculation and to
proportion the cold enrichment fuel flow. This sensor is similar in construction to the engine coolant
temperature sensor and is mounted on an intake manifold runner or on the air cleaner.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
Knock Sensor
The knock sensor, Fig. 11, is a piezo-electric accelerator accelerometer with the sensor designed
to resonate at approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency.. The sensor uses
the resonant frequency to mechanically amplify the engine knock frequency (5-6 KHz).
This method allows relatively large signals to be achieved without electrical amplification. The
sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two-pin integral connector.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to update model applicability and to revise the
part number of the Low Volatility Sealant.
ISSUE: EGO sensors can be contaminated if volatile types of silicone are used when servicing the
engine. Volatile silicones can migrate throughout the system during the first one hundred hours of
service. They are commonly found in liquid "silicone rubber" sealants and gasket material. These
products are commonly sold in tubes and caulking-type cartridges.
ACTION: When service is performed on the engine, only use new low volatility silicone sealant
(F1AZ-19662-A) where specified. Also replace the contaminated EGO sensor if required.
CAUTION: DO NOT SUBSTITUTE CONVENTIONAL SILICONE RUBBER SEALANTS WHEN
LOW VOLATILITY SILICONE SEALANT IS SPECIFIED.

WARNING: This modification is authorized only for the listed engines. Performing this modification
on other engine calibrations is unauthorized and could create liability under applicable federal or
local laws.
A new design Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) has been released for all 1986 EEC IV applications.
The new TPS is designed to eliminate a false Self-Test Code 53. A Code 53 indicates the TPS
system has failed at the wide open throttle position (approximately 5.0 volts), The new TPS
eliminates false Code 53 by limiting the wide open throttle voltage to 4.75 volts. With the new TPS,
Code 53 will only result from a circuit or TPS malfunction.
The new Throttle Position Sensors can be used to replace faulty sensors on 1985 vehicles. If the
old design service part is used, a false Code 53 may result.

ISSUE: All Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) mounting screws have a "Pozidrive" head. The
"Pozidrive" head looks a lot like a Phillips screw head. Use of a Phillips head screwdriver to remove
a "Pozidrive" screw will normally result in a rounded or damaged screw head. Many technicians
think it is an overtorqued or "frozen" screw. An adhesive was also used as a thread sealant starting
with the 1988 model year. This adhesive requires still more effort to loosen and remove the screw.
ACTION: To prevent rounded or damages screw heads when servicing the TPS mounting screws,
technicians should always use a # 2 "Pozidrive" screwdriver.

The emission maintenance warning system functions with two microprocessor modules. One
module is the inferred mileage sensor (IMS) and the other is the emission maintenance warning
(EMW) module. The IMS module is not part of the emission light circuit. The IMS module sends a
signal to the engine control assembly (ECA) at a predetermined time which then automatically
makes appropriate internal emission control adjustments.
The EMW module is a timing device that turns the "EMISSIONS" light on at approximately 60,000
miles, indicating required emission system maintenance. 1985 light trucks built prior to January
1985 have a non-resetable EMW module and require part replacement if the "EMISSIONS" light
stays on. Later vehicles are equipped with a resetable EMW module and can be reset as described
in the 1985 Car/LightTruck EngineElectrical-Emissions Shop Manual, page 18-6. An additional
EMW module is available and is used only for vehicles with approximately 30,000 miles. This
module will ensure that the "EMISSIONS" light will still be illuminated as required at 60,000 miles.
Locations for the EMW/IMS modules are as follows:
Model Location
F Series Left side of steering column on instruEconoline ment panel support.
Bronco
Aerostar Left side of steering column mounted on the EEC-IV processor bracket.
Ranger Behind and above the glove box.
Bronco II Mounted on the instrument panel. (May require glove box removal.)
The IMS and EMW modules are located side by side. The EMW module is the only part that
normally requires replacement. It can be identified by a "RESET" sticker and brown plastic housing.
The IMS module is black in color and has no stickers.

Installation Note
E/F Series and Bronco access is limited. Installing a new module may require slotting of the upper
mounting hole on the module flange (see Figure 13). This allows starting of the upper screw in the
instrument panel support so the module can then be slid under the screw head before tightening.

Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Description and Operation
The vane air flow meter measures air flowing into the engine and is mounted between the air
cleaner and the throttle body assembly. The meter contains a movable vane directly connected to a
potentiometer. Air rushing through the vane air flow meter, changes the position of the vane and
potentiometer. The potentiometer relays vane position information to the EEC-IV module. The
EEC-IV module, then translates vane position information into the amount of air flowing into the
engine. An air temperature sensor is incorporated within the vane air flow meter. This sensor
constantly monitors air temperature entering the engine and also transmits the information to the
EEC-IV module. The EEC-IV module receives, then computes the air flow and air temperature
information and adjusts the fuel flow to obtain the optimum air/fuel mixture required.

WARNING: This modification is authorized only for the listed engines. Performing this modification
on other engine calibrations is unauthorized and could create liability under applicable federal or
local laws.
A new design Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) has been released for all 1986 EEC IV applications.
The new TPS is designed to eliminate a false Self-Test Code 53. A Code 53 indicates the TPS
system has failed at the wide open throttle position (approximately 5.0 volts), The new TPS
eliminates false Code 53 by limiting the wide open throttle voltage to 4.75 volts. With the new TPS,
Code 53 will only result from a circuit or TPS malfunction.
The new Throttle Position Sensors can be used to replace faulty sensors on 1985 vehicles. If the
old design service part is used, a false Code 53 may result.

ISSUE: All Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) mounting screws have a "Pozidrive" head. The
"Pozidrive" head looks a lot like a Phillips screw head. Use of a Phillips head screwdriver to remove
a "Pozidrive" screw will normally result in a rounded or damaged screw head. Many technicians
think it is an overtorqued or "frozen" screw. An adhesive was also used as a thread sealant starting
with the 1988 model year. This adhesive requires still more effort to loosen and remove the screw.
ACTION: To prevent rounded or damages screw heads when servicing the TPS mounting screws,
technicians should always use a # 2 "Pozidrive" screwdriver.

Hall Effect Sensor: Description and Operation
Profile Ignition Pickup
The PIP signal is created in the Hall Effect and Stator assembly and indicates crankshaft position
and engine RPM Fig. 21. The PIP signal is fed to both the TFI module and the ECA.
PIP Sensor
COMPONENTS The Hall Effect device is made up of a voltage regulator, a Hall voltage generator,
Darlington amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and an open collector output stage integrated in a single
monolithic silicon chip Fig. 22. A signal is produced when a ferrous material is passed through the
opening and the flux lines decrease. The Hall generator (Hall device) sends a sine wave signal to
the Darlington amplifier. The Darlington amplifier inverts the signal. When the signal is low the
output is high. When the signal is high the output is low. This output then goes to the Schmitt
trigger. The Schmitt trigger shapes the signal into a square wave (digital high) signal.
Ford E 150 Van Workshop Manual (V8-302 5.0L (1985))

Switches - Ignition System > Hall Effect Sensor, Ignition > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page
2328
PIP Signal Operation
OPERATION The output signal to the Darlington amplifier is high when the window (on the
armature) allows the magnetic field to reach the Hall device (switch off) Fig. 23. When the TAB
shunts the magnetic field (closes) away from the Hall device the signal is low to the Darlington
amplifier (switch on).
Hall Effect Sensor
In other words when one of the windows or openings is in the gap between the Hall device and the
permanent magnet, the field stays strong and the voltage is high since the magnetic path is
complete from the magnet, through the Hall device, and back to the magnet. In this case the switch
is off and the Hall Effect does not send a signal. When the TAB enters the gap, the armature cuts
off the magnetic path to the Hall device and its voltage drops. In this case the switch is on and the
Hall Effect device sends a signal. The signal is switched On and Off as long as the armature is
rotating (distributor is turning) and opening and closing the magnetic path. This is the signal used
by the ECA to interpret crankshaft position and engine RPM. The signal can also be used by the
TFI module if the SPOUT signal from the ECA is lost.

Signature PIP
SIGNATURE PIP Some Electronic Engine Control (EEC) vehicles are equipped with a signature
profile ignition pickup signal. The regular type armature used for the PIP signal has the same size
tabs and windows. In a signature PIP signal armature, one of the tabs is narrower than the others
Fig. 25. The narrower tab provides a different signal to the ECA when it passes through the Hall
Effect switch. When the ECA sees the narrow tab it knows when to properly pulse the fuel injectors.
This system is used on cars and trucks where the ECA needs to know when to pulse certain
injectors. For example, on sequential electronic fuel injection (SEFI) systems, each injector is
pulsed to coincide with its intake valve opening. With the signature PIP, the ECA knows when the
No. 1 cylinder needs to be supplied with fuel.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
Knock Sensor
The knock sensor, Fig. 11, is a piezo-electric accelerator accelerometer with the sensor designed
to resonate at approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency.. The sensor uses
the resonant frequency to mechanically amplify the engine knock frequency (5-6 KHz).
This method allows relatively large signals to be achieved without electrical amplification. The
sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two-pin integral connector.

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.

Fuel Pressure Release: Service and Repair
CAUTION: FUEL SUPPLY LINES ON EFI ENGINES WILL REMAIN PRESSURIZED FOR SOME
PERIOD OF TIME AFTER THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF. THIS PRESSURE MUST BE RELIEVED
BEFORE SERVICING OF THE FUEL SYSTEM IS BEGUN.
FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELIEF - EFI ENGINES
Before opening the fuel system on vehicles with EFI engines, relieve fuel pressure as follows: 1.
Locate and disconnect the electrical connection to either the fuel pump relay, the inertia switch or
the in-line high pressure fuel pump.
2. Crank engine for approximately ten seconds.
Note: Engine may start and run for a short time. If so, crank engine an additional 5 seconds after
engine stalls.
3. Re-connect the electrical connector that was disconnected in step 1 and disconnect battery
ground cable.
Alternative Method
Some EFI vehicles have a port (fitting) on the fuel rail used for measuring fuel pressure. If so
equipped, use the following method: Install fuel pressure relief tool No. T80L-9974-B or equivalent to measuring port on engine fuel rail.
- Position drain hose in suitable container, then depress relief button.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1985-93 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES
ISSUE: Spark knock may be caused by variability in ignition PIP (Profile Ignition Pick-up) output
due to a combination of engine torsional vibrations and distributor electrical characteristics. A spark
advance spike is generated which repeats every eight firings.
ACTION: Perform the following Service Bay Diagnostic System procedure and, if necessary,
replace the distributor.
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING SBDS PROCEDURE MUST BE USED TO VERIFY IF THE SPECIFIED
CONDITION EXISTS ON A GIVEN EFI/TFI 5.0L/5.8L ENGINE. DISTRIBUTORS ON ENGINES
THAT HAVE A DETONATION CONCERN AND THAT DO NOT PASS THE SBDS TEST MUST
BE RETURNED THROUGH WARRANTY WITH A "BEFORE AND AFTER" PRINTOUT OF THE
SBDS IGNITION GRAPH (WITH THE SPIKING CLEARLY SHOWN) TO QUALIFY FOR
REIMBURSEMENT.
SERVICE BAY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM PROCEDURE
1. Use SBDS 60 pin roadtest monitor/record. Select parameters PIP and Spout.
2. Start the warm engine and idle for at least two (2) minutes to allow EEC IV to learn and correct
for normal PIP variance.
a. Record data using PVA pendant.
b. Store the data in a buffer.
3. Upload the data to the Cart and go to the playback graph mode.
4. Select Digital PIP and analog spark. Move the cursor to the smoothest (least noise) section of
the spark curve, Figure 1.

5. Zoom in on the recording as much as possible. Look for timing spikes that REPEAT EVERY
EIGHTH FIRING OF THE DIGITAL PIP SIGNAL, Figure 2.
6. Move the cursor across all spikes to read the timing difference.
NOTE: THE SPARK ADVANCE WILL SPIKE UPWARD AT LEAST 20 ON SUSPECT VEHICLES.
7. Print the graph for warranty use.
^ Downward spikes would indicate a retarded spark condition and will NOT cause detonation.

Spark Plug: Service and Repair
REMOVAL
- Remove the wire from each spark plug by grasping the molded boot with tool T74P-6666-A or
equivalent. Twist the boot until it loosens and then pull it off the spark plug. Do not pull on the wire,
as the connection may become damaged.
- Any wire damaged must be replaced. Each original spark plug wire is numbered for the cylinder to
which it is designated. If wires are not numbered, each wire should be numbered as to the plug
from which it was removed.
- Clean the area around each spark plug port with compressed air.
- Using the proper size spark plug socket remove the spark plugs.
INSTALLATION
Check the gap on each new spark plug and set to specification. See: Specifications
- Install each spark plug and tighten to 9-20 Nm (7-15 ft-lbs).
Cylinder Numbering And Distributor Location
Location On Distributor
- Coat the inside of each spark plug boot with silicone dielectric compound. Connect each spark
plug wire to the plug from which it was removed. Be sure each wire is fully depressed on each plug
and molded boot is firmly in place.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
COMPRESSION TEST
1. Ensure oil in crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at proper level and battery is properly
charged. Operate vehicle until engine is at normal
operating temperature. Turn OFF ignition switch, then remove all spark plugs.
2. Set throttle plates (and choke plates, if equipped) in wide-open position. 3. Install a compression
gauge such as Rotunda Compression Tester 059-00009 or equivalent in No. 1 cylinder. 4. Install
an auxiliary starter switch in starting circuit. With ignition switch in the OFF position, and using
auxiliary starter switch, crank engine at
least five compression strokes and record highest reading. Note the approximate number of
compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
5. Repeat test on each cylinder cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.
TEST CONCLUSION
1. The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest. 2. If one or more cylinders read low, squirt
approximately one tablespoon of heavy SAE 50 weight or equivalent engine oil on top of the
pistons in
the low reading cylinders. Repeat compression pressure check on these cylinders. a. If
compression improves considerably, piston rings are at fault. b. If compression does not improve,
valves are sticking or seating poorly. c. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low compression
pressures and squirting oil on pistons does not increase compression, cause may be a
cylinder head gasket leak between cylinders. Engine oil and/or coolant in cylinders could result
from this problem.
Compression Pressure Limit Chart
NOTE: Refer to the compression pressure limit chart for pressure specifications.

Component Information > Description and Operation
Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Description and Operation
The vane air flow meter measures air flowing into the engine and is mounted between the air
cleaner and the throttle body assembly. The meter contains a movable vane directly connected to a
potentiometer. Air rushing through the vane air flow meter, changes the position of the vane and
potentiometer. The potentiometer relays vane position information to the EEC-IV module. The
EEC-IV module, then translates vane position information into the amount of air flowing into the
engine. An air temperature sensor is incorporated within the vane air flow meter. This sensor
constantly monitors air temperature entering the engine and also transmits the information to the
EEC-IV module. The EEC-IV module receives, then computes the air flow and air temperature
information and adjusts the fuel flow to obtain the optimum air/fuel mixture required.

1984---87 This switch, Fig. 19, controls spark timing and/or other electrical devices according to
barometric pressure changes. Calibration resistors in the switch assembly cause the ignition
module to vary the spark timing. Spark timing is advanced for vehicle operation above a
predetermined altitude and retarded for vehicle operation below a predetermined altitude. Some
switch assemblies control both spark timing and another device while other switch assemblies
control only one or the other.

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
Knock Sensor
The knock sensor, Fig. 11, is a piezo-electric accelerator accelerometer with the sensor designed
to resonate at approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency.. The sensor uses
the resonant frequency to mechanically amplify the engine knock frequency (5-6 KHz).
This method allows relatively large signals to be achieved without electrical amplification. The
sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two-pin integral connector.

This lamp will be illuminated when the ignition switch is placed in the On position. After engine is
started the lamp should go off, unless a problem has been detected by the EEC-IV system. After
diagnosis and repair, the Check Engine/MIL lamp will automatically reset when stored codes are
cleared from the EEC-IV system memory. After diagnosis and repair, EEC-IV memory may be
cleared of stored codes as follows:
1. With ignition switch in the Off position, connect a jumper wire between Self Test and Self Test
Input (STI) connectors, Fig. 1.
On Aerostar, the Self Test and STI connectors are gray in color and are located on lefthand fender
apron, near the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) relay. On Bronco and F Series, the Self Test and
STI connectors are located in the area of the EEC system charcoal canister. On Bronco II and
Ranger, the Self Test connector and STI connector are red in color and they are both located on
the righthand fender apron near the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) relay. On E Series, the Self

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to update model applicability and to revise the
part number of the Low Volatility Sealant.
ISSUE: EGO sensors can be contaminated if volatile types of silicone are used when servicing the
engine. Volatile silicones can migrate throughout the system during the first one hundred hours of
service. They are commonly found in liquid "silicone rubber" sealants and gasket material. These
products are commonly sold in tubes and caulking-type cartridges.
ACTION: When service is performed on the engine, only use new low volatility silicone sealant
(F1AZ-19662-A) where specified. Also replace the contaminated EGO sensor if required.
CAUTION: DO NOT SUBSTITUTE CONVENTIONAL SILICONE RUBBER SEALANTS WHEN
LOW VOLATILITY SILICONE SEALANT IS SPECIFIED.

ISSUE: Electronic control modules, including EEC processors, may be damaged if the negative
battery ground cable is not disconnected before arc welding is done to the vehicle, This occurs
because the arc welding process can produce high electrical currents in the body of a vehicle when
the negative battery ground cable is left connected.

Fig. 6 Electronic control assembly
The ECA is the brain of the EEC-IV system and is comprised of a processor and calibration
assembly, Fig. 6. The processor receives input signals from the various sensors. The information
obtained is used by the processor to activate engine control systems to obtain optimum emission
control and performance. The calibration assembly is a permanent memory device that contains
information. The processor applies the sensor inputs to the stored information to determine when
and how long the various control systems should be applied.

Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Description and Operation
The vane air flow meter measures air flowing into the engine and is mounted between the air
cleaner and the throttle body assembly. The meter contains a movable vane directly connected to a
potentiometer. Air rushing through the vane air flow meter, changes the position of the vane and
potentiometer. The potentiometer relays vane position information to the EEC-IV module. The
EEC-IV module, then translates vane position information into the amount of air flowing into the
engine. An air temperature sensor is incorporated within the vane air flow meter. This sensor
constantly monitors air temperature entering the engine and also transmits the information to the
EEC-IV module. The EEC-IV module receives, then computes the air flow and air temperature
information and adjusts the fuel flow to obtain the optimum air/fuel mixture required.

1984---87 This switch, Fig. 19, controls spark timing and/or other electrical devices according to
barometric pressure changes. Calibration resistors in the switch assembly cause the ignition
module to vary the spark timing. Spark timing is advanced for vehicle operation above a
predetermined altitude and retarded for vehicle operation below a predetermined altitude. Some
switch assemblies control both spark timing and another device while other switch assemblies
control only one or the other.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 2 Air charge temperature (ACT) sensor
This sensor, Fig. 2, provides the EFI system with air/fuel mixture temperature information. The air
charge temperature sensor is used both as a density corrector to air flow calculation and to
proportion the cold enrichment fuel flow. This sensor is similar in construction to the engine coolant
temperature sensor and is mounted on an intake manifold runner or on the air cleaner.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
Knock Sensor
The knock sensor, Fig. 11, is a piezo-electric accelerator accelerometer with the sensor designed
to resonate at approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency.. The sensor uses
the resonant frequency to mechanically amplify the engine knock frequency (5-6 KHz).
This method allows relatively large signals to be achieved without electrical amplification. The
sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two-pin integral connector.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to update model applicability and to revise the
part number of the Low Volatility Sealant.
ISSUE: EGO sensors can be contaminated if volatile types of silicone are used when servicing the
engine. Volatile silicones can migrate throughout the system during the first one hundred hours of
service. They are commonly found in liquid "silicone rubber" sealants and gasket material. These
products are commonly sold in tubes and caulking-type cartridges.
ACTION: When service is performed on the engine, only use new low volatility silicone sealant
(F1AZ-19662-A) where specified. Also replace the contaminated EGO sensor if required.
CAUTION: DO NOT SUBSTITUTE CONVENTIONAL SILICONE RUBBER SEALANTS WHEN
LOW VOLATILITY SILICONE SEALANT IS SPECIFIED.

WARNING: This modification is authorized only for the listed engines. Performing this modification
on other engine calibrations is unauthorized and could create liability under applicable federal or
local laws.
A new design Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) has been released for all 1986 EEC IV applications.
The new TPS is designed to eliminate a false Self-Test Code 53. A Code 53 indicates the TPS
system has failed at the wide open throttle position (approximately 5.0 volts), The new TPS
eliminates false Code 53 by limiting the wide open throttle voltage to 4.75 volts. With the new TPS,
Code 53 will only result from a circuit or TPS malfunction.
The new Throttle Position Sensors can be used to replace faulty sensors on 1985 vehicles. If the
old design service part is used, a false Code 53 may result.

ISSUE: All Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) mounting screws have a "Pozidrive" head. The
"Pozidrive" head looks a lot like a Phillips screw head. Use of a Phillips head screwdriver to remove
a "Pozidrive" screw will normally result in a rounded or damaged screw head. Many technicians
think it is an overtorqued or "frozen" screw. An adhesive was also used as a thread sealant starting
with the 1988 model year. This adhesive requires still more effort to loosen and remove the screw.
ACTION: To prevent rounded or damages screw heads when servicing the TPS mounting screws,
technicians should always use a # 2 "Pozidrive" screwdriver.

CALIBRATION: All with EEC IV
WARNING: This modification is authorized only for the listed engines. Performing this modification
on other engine calibrations is unauthorized and could create liability under applicable federal or
local laws.
A new design Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) has been released for all 1986 EEC IV applications.
The new TPS is designed to eliminate a false Self-Test Code 53. A Code 53 indicates the TPS
system has failed at the wide open throttle position (approximately 5.0 volts), The new TPS
eliminates false Code 53 by limiting the wide open throttle voltage to 4.75 volts. With the new TPS,
Code 53 will only result from a circuit or TPS malfunction.
The new Throttle Position Sensors can be used to replace faulty sensors on 1985 vehicles. If the
old design service part is used, a false Code 53 may result.

ISSUE: All Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) mounting screws have a "Pozidrive" head. The
"Pozidrive" head looks a lot like a Phillips screw head. Use of a Phillips head screwdriver to remove
a "Pozidrive" screw will normally result in a rounded or damaged screw head. Many technicians
think it is an overtorqued or "frozen" screw. An adhesive was also used as a thread sealant starting
with the 1988 model year. This adhesive requires still more effort to loosen and remove the screw.
ACTION: To prevent rounded or damages screw heads when servicing the TPS mounting screws,
technicians should always use a # 2 "Pozidrive" screwdriver.

Air Diverter Valve: Description and Operation Air Bypass Valves
Fig. 64 Normally closed air bypass valves
Fig. 65 Normally open air bypass valves with vacuum vents
Fig. 66 Normally open air bypass valves without vacuum vent
There are two general groups of bypass valves, normally open and normally closed. Both groups
are available in both remote and pump-mounted versions. Normally closed valves, Fig. 64, supply
air to the exhaust system with medium and high applied vacuum signals during normal modes
(engine operating at normal operating temperature), short idles, and some accelerations. With low
or no vacuum applied to pump, air is dumped through silencer ports of valve. Normally open valves
with a vacuum vent, Fig. 65, provide a timed air dump during decelerations and also dump when a
vacuum pressure difference is maintained between the signal port and the vent port. The signal
port must have 3 inches Hg more vacuum than the vent port to hold the dump. This mode is used
to protect the catalyst from overheating. Normally open valves without a vacuum vent, Fig. 66,
provide a timed dump of air for 1.1 or 2.8 seconds when a sudden high vacuum of about 20

This valve, Figs. 76 and 77, is used on some engines equipped with variable venturi carburetor. It
provides the air for the thermactor retard delay valve and air bypass valve during idle modes to
deactivate the thermactor system after a controlled period of time. Application of vacuum from the
carburetor to both ports of the thermactor vacuum vent causes the dump valve to seat and vacuum
to be applied to the rest of the system. Removal of

Air Injection Control Valve: Description and Operation Vacuum Differential Valve (VDV)
Fig. 78 Vacuum Differential Valve (VDV)
On some vehicles with the Thermactor system and catalytic converters, a VDV, Fig. 78, is used to
control the operation of the air bypass valve. Under normal operation, vacuum applied through the
VDV holds the valve upward, blocking the vent port and allowing Thermactor air flow. During
acceleration or deceleration or in case of system failure, the VDV momentarily cuts off vacuum flow
to the bypass valve, diverting the Thermactor air flow to atmosphere. In case of excessive pressure
or system restriction, the excess pressure will unseat the valve in the lower part of the bypass
valve, allowing a partial flow of air to atmosphere. At the same time, the valve in the upper part of
the valve remains unseated allowing a partial flow of air to the exhaust manifold.

Pulsed Secondary Air Injection: Description and Operation
Fig. 79 Thermactor II system (typical)
Fig. 80 Thermactor II pulse air valve operation
Some engines are equipped with this type of exhaust air injection system, Fig. 79, which does not
have an air pump. The system uses the natural pulses of the exhaust system to draw air into the
exhaust manifold. The system is regulated by a pulse air valve. The valve, Fig. 80, is connected to
the air cleaner with a hose and to the exhaust manifold with a metal tube. Some pulse air valves
closely resemble the standard Thermactor check valves, but are not interchangeable with them.
When pressure inside the exhaust manifold is more than the pressure in the air cleaner, the reed in
the pulse air valve is closed. When pressure in the exhaust manifold is lower than in the air
cleaner, the reed opens and allows air to be drawn into the exhaust manifold.

Thermal Vacuum Valve: Description and Operation Temperature Vacuum Switch (TVS)
Fig. 27 Temperature vacuum switch--TVS
This switch, Fig. 27, used on some vehicles, has a bimetal disc which locates itself in one of two
positions, depending on its temperature. One position allows free air flow in the vacuum line; and
the other blocks air flow by sealing itself against the O-ring. The switching temperature is below the
range of normal engine operating temperature.
The TVS may be used to control the vacuum signal to the thermactor dump valve, to reduce
emissions.
The normally open TVS may block the purge vacuum signal to provide satisfactory cold driveability
and reduce cold engine emissions. It may be also used to hold off EGR operation during cold
engine operation.
The normally closed TVS may allow cold spark advance to provide satisfactory cold engine
driveability.

Fig. 75 Thermactor idle vacuum valve (TIV)
This valve, Fig. 74, used on some vehicles, operates in conjunction with a vacuum delay valve and
provides backfire control, full time idle air dump, cold temperature catalyst protection and cold EGR
lockout. This valve prevents excessive underbody temperature caused by the exhaust system by
diverting secondary air pump output during extended engine idle. EGR port vacuum at the
carburetor moves the power diaphragm which opens or closes vents to the atmosphere by moving
the valve membrane, Fig. 75. Vacuum at the EGR port switches off the thermactor at idle due to
the lack of vacuum at closed throttle conditions. The idle vacuum valve is open and dumps
thermactor air to the atmosphere during cold engine operation, extended idle periods and
deceleration. When the engine has reached normal operating temperature, the vacuum valve is
closed to the atmosphere to allow passage of thermactor air.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation Dual Catalytic Converter
Fig. 17 Dual catalytic converter
This converter consists of two catalytic converters in one shell, with a mixing chamber in between
the two, Fig. 17. Each converter is composed of a ceramic ``honey comb'' coated with a
rhodium/platinum catalyst designed to control oxides of nitrogen (NOx), unburned hydrocarbons
(HC) and carbon monoxide (CO), and is therefore called a ``three way catalyst'' (TWC). The rear
converter is coated with platinum catalyst and is called a ``conventional'' oxidation catalyst'' (COC)
converter. The platinum catalyst is also called a ``two way catalyst'' since it only acts on two of the
major pollutants, HC and CO.
The TWC converter acts on the exhaust gases from the engine. As the gases flow from the TWC to
the COC converter, they mix with air from the thermactor pump injected into the mixing chamber or
``mid-bed''. This air is required for proper oxidation of HC and CO in the COC converter.

Fig. 6 Dual type catalytic converter
The catalytic converter used on some vehicles, serves two purposes: it permits a faster chemical
reaction to take place and although it enters into the chemical reaction, it remains unchanged,
ready to repeat the process. The catalytic converter combines hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon
monoxide (CO) with oxygen to form water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The catalyst is
structured in the form of a honeycomb monolithic composition, Figs. 4,5 and 6 . The catalyst
consists of a porous substrate of an inert material, coated with platinum and other noble metals
(the catalytically active materials.) This device, located in the exhaust system between the exhaust
manifold and muffler, requires the use of heat shields, in some cases, due to its high operating
temperatures. The heat shields are necessary to protect chassis components, passenger
compartment and other areas from heat related damage. A small diameter fuel tank filler tube neck
is incorporated to prevent the larger service station pump nozzle, used for leaded fuels, being
inserted into the filler tube, thereby preventing system contamination. Since the use of leaded fuels
contaminates the catalysts, deteriorating its effectiveness, the use of unleaded fuels is mandatory
in vehicles equipped with catalytic converters. The catalytic converter can tolerate small amounts of
leaded fuels without permanently reducing the catalyst effectiveness. There are basically three
types of catalysts, the conventional oxidation catalyst (COC) containing Platinum (Pt) and
Palladium (Pd) which are effective for catalyzing the oxidation reactions of hydrocarbons (HC) and
carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. A three-way catalyst (TWC) containing Platinum (Pt) and
Rhodium (RH), is not only effective for catalyzing the oxidation reactions of HC and CO emissions,
but it also catalyzes the reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx). A light off catalyst (LOC) is a single
bed converter. It is arranged in series with the main catalytic converter assembly of COC and/or
TWC as the aft member(s). This converter is designed to perform the very specialized function of
exhaust emission control during engine warm-up when the main converter(s) is not yet at the
temperature required for maximum efficiency. The LOC is designed to operate effectively in the
high environmental conditions that exist near the manifold flange. The LOC is designed with a
minimum heat sink effect and, provides minimum delay in warm-up of the main catalytic
converter(s). The oxidation catalyst requires the use of a secondary air source which is provided by
the pulse air or thermactor air injection systems.

during engine warm-up. On cold starts, manifold vacuum is directed to the heat control valve (HCV)
through the top two ports in HCV PVS (ported vacuum switch), closing the HCV. When engine
coolant temperature reaches a predetermined value, the PVS closes off vacuum and vents the
PVS allowing the HCV to close under spring tension. The three PVS valves used may be identified

Bowl Vent Valve: Description and Operation Solenoid Vent Valve
Fig. 57 Solenoid vent valve
The purpose of this valve, Fig. 57, is to close off the fuel bowl vent line when the engine is
operating. It is a normally open valve located in the fuel bowl vent to canister line. This valve is on
carburetors which do not have a built-in fuel bowl vent valve. When the ignition switch is turned on,
the coil energizes and the plunger is pulled against the valve seat to the closed position to prevent
purge vacuum from reaching the carburetor fuel bowl and upsetting the balanced air pressure.
When the ignition switch is turned off, the coil de-energizes and spring pressure unseats the
plunger to allow fuel vapors to flow to the carbon canister where they are stored until purged when
the engine is started. If vacuum from the purge control valve does reach the fuel bowl vent line, the
resultant low air pressure in the bowl will cause a lean fuel mixture condition. When diagnosing a
driveability problem associated with a lean fuel mixture, check the solenoid vent valve and/or the
built-in fuel bowl vent. The vent valves must be closed when the engine is operating.

Fig. 56 Purge control valves
CANISTER MOUNTED PURGE CONTROL VALVE
The valve, Fig. 56, is installed on the carbon canister and controls the flow of fuel vapors during
various engine operating modes. The control is provided by a vacuum signal from either the spark
port, EGR port or intake manifold and opens or closes the valve accordingly. When the engine is
off, the vapors from the fuel tank and carburetor fuel bowl are routed through the purge control
valve and into the carbon canister for storage. During normal cruise conditions, spark port or EGR
vacuum is strong enough to open the orifice in the purge control valve to allow fuel vapors to flow
from the carburetor canister through the purge line to a connection in the PCV tube or into the
carburetor spacer. At the same time, the vapors from the fuel tank are also directed into the purge
line. At idle and low speed cruise conditions, spark port or EGR port vacuum is not strong enough
to open the orifice in the purge control valve so that the fuel vapors are then routed to the carbon
canister. On some vehicles fuel vapors are not purged during low engine speeds because the
additional fuel vapors will affect the fuel air mixture, resulting in a reduction of idle quality and an
increase in exhaust emissions. On vehicles not affected by this purging, manifold vacuum is used
to actuate the purge control valve and control the purging of fuel vapors since spark port or EGR
port vacuum is too weak.

Fuel Overflow Reservoir: Description and Operation
This system provides a vapor space above the gasoline surface in the fuel tank. This area is
enough to permit breathing space for the tank vapor valve assembly under all static and most
dynamic conditions. Horizontally mounted tanks accomplish this by a raised mounting section for
the valve assembly which is centrally located on the upper surface of the tank. Vertically mounted
tanks use a centrally mounted vapor valve assembly on the uppermost surface of the fuel tank.

Fig. 47 Fuel tank vapor valve
All fuel tank vapor valves, Fig. 55, use a small orifice which allows only vapor and not fuel to pass
into the line going to the vapor storage canister. This assembly is mounted on the fuel tank. Fuel
vapors trapped in the sealed fuel tank are vented through the vapor valve assembly. The vapors
leave the valve assembly through a single vapor line and continue to the charcoal canister for
storage, until they are purged into the engine. On vehicles equipped with fuel/vapor return lines,
vapors created in the fuel line is continuously vented back to the fuel tank. This prevents engine
surging from fuel enrichment.

EGR Control Solenoid: Description and Operation
The dual EGR solenoid valve assembly consists of two dithering solenoid valves. The first is a
vacuum valve which supplies vacuum to the sonic EGR valve when energized. The second is a
vent valve which vents the EGR valve to the atmosphere when de-energized. Both solenoid valves
receive variable duty cycle signals from the ECA according to EGR requirements. A restrictor is
added in the vacuum valve inlet port to reduce its flow compared to that of the vent valve so that
when vacuum valve sticks open, the vent valve can immediately vent the vacuum valve flow
without affecting the devices being controlled.

EGR Valve: Description and Operation
In this system the exhaust gases are reintroduced to the combustion cycle, therefore diluting the air
fuel mixture entering the combustion chambers. Dilution of the incoming mixture lowers peak flame
temperatures during combustion and thus limits the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx).
Fig. 46 Spacer entry EGR connection
Some engines use the ``Spacer Entry'' EGR System which has the EGR valve mounted on the
carburetor spacer, Fig. 46. The exhaust gases are taken from a drilled passage in the exhaust
crossover of the intake manifold. The exhaust gas is then routed through a metered EGR valve to a
passage in the carburetor spacer and fed into the primary bore.
Ford E 150 Van Workshop Manual (V8-302 5.0L (1985))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Exhaust Gas Recirculation > EGR Valve
> Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 3008
Fig. 47 Intake manifold mounted EGR connection
On some engines, the EGR system routes exhaust gas directly from the exhaust manifold, Fig. 47.
Two variables control the operation of the EGR system, 1) engine coolant temperature and 2)
engine or carburetor vacuum. When engine coolant temperature is below the specified level, the
EGR system is locked out by a temperature controlled vacuum switch. This vacuum switch is
installed in series with the EGR valve. This valve receives vacuum from a port in the carburetor
body. When the valve is closed due to lower coolant temperature, no vacuum is applied to the EGR
valve and no exhaust gas is fed to the air-fuel mixture. When the engine coolant temperature
reaches the specified level, the valve opens allowing vacuum to be applied to the EGR valve.
Exhaust gas is then fed to the air-fuel mixture. The second factor controlling EGR operation is
carburetor vacuum. The location of the EGR port in the carburetor determines at what point
vacuum is sent to the EGR valve. Vacuum should be fed to the EGR vacuum control valve when
the primary throttle plate reaches a position corresponding to a road speed of approximately 20
mph under light acceleration.

Fig. 48 Venturi vacuum amplifier
A Venturi Vacuum Amplifier, Fig. 48, uses a weak venturi vacuum signal to produce a strong intake
manifold vacuum to operate the EGR valve, thereby achieving an accurate, repeatable and almost
exact proportion between venturi airflow and EGR flow. This assists in controlling oxides of
nitrogen with minimal sacrifice in driveability.
There are four basic types of EGR valves: the ported type, the integral back pressure type, the
electronic-sonic type and the valve and transducer assembly type The electronic-sonic type valve
is used with the EEC system.

> Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 3010
This sensor, Fig. 6, is used to monitor the EGR valve pintle position. The computer applies a
reference voltage to the EVP sensor, and the resulting signal from the EVP sensor is proportional
to the amount of exhaust gases flowing through the EGR valve pintle into the intake manifold.
Depending on the input from this and other sensors, the computer can increase or decrease EGR
flow by activating or deactivating a pair of solenoid vacuum valves.
Fig. 49 Ported type EGR valves
Ported type valves, Fig. 49, may be of the poppet or tapered stem design and can have base or
side entry. The two passages connecting the exhaust system to intake manifold are blocked by a
valve which is opened by vacuum and closed by spring pressure.
Fig. 50 Integral back pressure transducer EGR valve
The integral back pressure transducer valve, Fig. 50, cannot be opened by vacuum until the bleed
hole is closed by exhaust back pressure. When open, the valve oscillates at a level dependent on
the exhaust back pressure flowing through the orifice. Valve opening increases as signal vacuum
and exhaust back pressure increases.

These switches, Figs. 22 and 23, used on some vehicles, control vacuum to emission components
during engine warm-up.The 2-port and 4-port types open when coolant temperature reaches a
predetermined value. The 3-port type switches vacuum from the center to the top or bottom ports.
Electrical switches can be opened or closed until the PVS is fully cycled. All PVS units are
temperature-activated and have a specific opening and closing temperature.

Component Information > Description and Operation
Positive Crankcase Ventilation: Description and Operation
Fig. 62 Typical PCV system
Fig. 63 Typical PCV valve
All engines produce small amounts of blowby gases which seep past the piston rings and into the
crankcase. These blowby gases are the result of the high pressures developed within the
combustion chamber during the combustion process, and contain undesirable pollutants. To
prevent blow-by gases from entering atmosphere while allowing proper crankcase ventilation, all
engines use a PCV system, Fig. 62.
The PCV system prevents blowby gases from escaping by routing them through a vacuum
controlled ventilating valve and a hose into the intake manifold. The blowby gases mix with the
air/fuel mixture and are burned in the combustion chambers. When the engine is running, fresh air
is drawn into the crankcase through a tube or hose connected to the air cleaner housing.
The PCV valve, Fig. 63, consists of a needle valve, spring and housing. When the engine is off, the
spring holds the needle valve closed to stop vapors from entering the intake manifold. When the
engine is running, manifold vacuum unseats the valve allowing crankcase vapors to enter the
intake manifold. In case of a backfire in the intake manifold, the valve closes, stopping the backflow
and preventing ignition of fumes in the crankcase. During certain engine conditions, more blowby
gases are created than the ventilator valve can handle. The excess is returned through the air
intake tube to the air cleaner and carburetor where it is burned in the engine.

Positive Crankcase Ventilation: Testing and Inspection
1. Pull end of PCV valve out of valve cover. If valve rattles when shaken, proceed to step 2. If not,
replace valve.
2. Disconnect vacuum hose from air cleaner and feel for vacuum at hose with engine at idle. If
vacuum is felt, system is satisfactory. If no vacuum is felt, check for obstructions in PCV system or
a leaking evaporative valve.
3. Disconnect evaporative hose, then cap the tee fitting and retest. If vacuum is now felt, PCV
system is satisfactory. Check evaporative system. If no vacuum is felt, check for vacuum back
through the system and inspect rocker cover gasket for leaks. Repair or replace components as
necessary.

The emission maintenance warning system functions with two microprocessor modules. One
module is the inferred mileage sensor (IMS) and the other is the emission maintenance warning
(EMW) module. The IMS module is not part of the emission light circuit. The IMS module sends a
signal to the engine control assembly (ECA) at a predetermined time which then automatically
makes appropriate internal emission control adjustments.
The EMW module is a timing device that turns the "EMISSIONS" light on at approximately 60,000
miles, indicating required emission system maintenance. 1985 light trucks built prior to January
1985 have a non-resetable EMW module and require part replacement if the "EMISSIONS" light
stays on. Later vehicles are equipped with a resetable EMW module and can be reset as described
in the 1985 Car/LightTruck EngineElectrical-Emissions Shop Manual, page 18-6. An additional
EMW module is available and is used only for vehicles with approximately 30,000 miles. This
module will ensure that the "EMISSIONS" light will still be illuminated as required at 60,000 miles.
Locations for the EMW/IMS modules are as follows:
Model Location
F Series Left side of steering column on instruEconoline ment panel support.
Bronco
Aerostar Left side of steering column mounted on the EEC-IV processor bracket.
Ranger Behind and above the glove box.
Bronco II Mounted on the instrument panel. (May require glove box removal.)
The IMS and EMW modules are located side by side. The EMW module is the only part that
normally requires replacement. It can be identified by a "RESET" sticker and brown plastic housing.
The IMS module is black in color and has no stickers.

Thermostatic Air Cleaner Vacuum Switch: Description and Operation
Fig. 1 Bi-metal switch
AIR TEMPERATURE CONTROL SENSOR
A vacuum operated duct valve with a thermostatic bi-metal switch, Fig. 1, is used. The valve in the
duct assembly is in an open position when the engine is not operating. When the engine is
operating at below 75° F, manifold vacuum is routed through the bi-metal switch to the vacuum
motor to close the duct valve allowing only heated air to enter the air cleaner. When the engine
reaches normal operating temperature, the bi-metal switch opens an air bleed which eliminates the
vacuum and the duct valve opens, allowing only cold air to enter the air cleaner. During periods of
acceleration the duct valve will open regardless of temperature due to the loss of manifold vacuum.

Fig. 2 Cold weather modulator
COLD WEATHER MODULATOR
This modulator, Fig. 2, is used on some models to prevent the air cleaner door from opening when
outside air is below a predetermined temperature. At higher ambient temperatures, the modulator
is inoperative. During acceleration, with outside air below the preset temperature, the modulator will
close off vacuum to the motor and hold the duct open. The modulator is located in-line between the
air temperature control sensor and the vacuum duct motor.

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.

Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Description and Operation
The vane air flow meter measures air flowing into the engine and is mounted between the air
cleaner and the throttle body assembly. The meter contains a movable vane directly connected to a
potentiometer. Air rushing through the vane air flow meter, changes the position of the vane and
potentiometer. The potentiometer relays vane position information to the EEC-IV module. The
EEC-IV module, then translates vane position information into the amount of air flowing into the
engine. An air temperature sensor is incorporated within the vane air flow meter. This sensor
constantly monitors air temperature entering the engine and also transmits the information to the
EEC-IV module. The EEC-IV module receives, then computes the air flow and air temperature
information and adjusts the fuel flow to obtain the optimum air/fuel mixture required.

Accelerator Pump: Description and Operation
Fig. 28 Temperature compensated accelerated pump. Motorcraft model 2150A carburetor
The temperature compensated accelerator pump, Fig. 28, is used on vehicles equipped with the
Motorcraft 2150A model carburetor, allows delivery of a large pump capacity to facilitate cold
engine requirements and a smaller pump capacity during warm engine operation. The amount of
fuel delivered during warm engine operation is a function of the rate at which the accelerator pedal
is applied (fast application/low capacity, slow application/high capacity). The design incorporates a
bypass bleed controlled by a vacuum operated valve. Normally, the input signal controlling the
valve position is manifold vacuum switched by a PVS located in the engine coolant system. The
valve is normally closed when no vacuum is applied, allowing full pump capacity during cold
operation. With vacuum applied, the pump functions as a rate sensitive valve controlling the
amount of fuel bypassed back to the carburetor fuel bowl and not delivered to the intake manifold
air stream.

Accelerator Pump: Testing and Inspection
1. Allow engine coolant to stabilize to ambient temperature.
2. Start engine and immediately check for vacuum at the temperature compensated accelerator
pump valve.
3. When the engine is cold, no vacuum should be present.
4. Allow engine temperature to stabilize and check to ensure that a vacuum greater than 10 inches
Hg is present at the temperature compensated accelerator pump valve.
5. If the vacuum signal to the valve is incorrect in either hot or cold mode, check vacuum hoses,
connections and vacuum control valve. After a vacuum is verified, shut-off engine and connect a
six inch section of clear tubing (5/32 inch inside diameter) between the temperature compensated
accelerator pump valve. If no fuel is flowing, remove clear tubing and install vacuum hose to the
temperature compensated accelerator pump valve. Turn ignition switch to off position.
6. With ignition switch in off position, remove carburetor air horn and air horn gasket. If the engine
is warm, relieve pressure on fuel inlet needle by carefully depressing fuel bowl float.
7. Carefully remove float and needle assembly.
8. Remove enough fuel from the float bowl so that the temperature compensated accelerator pump
bleed hole is just at or above bowl level.
9. Remove vacuum hose from valve and actuate accelerator pedal at a moderate or fast rate, and
observe fuel discharge out of the temperature compensated accelerator pump bypass bleed. No
fuel discharge should be observed from the bypass bleed. If fuel does discharge, replace valve.
10. Using a hand operated vacuum pump, apply a vacuum greater than 10 inches Hg to the
temperature compensated accelerator pump valve. Actuate accelerator with a very quick action
from idle to wide open throttle, fuel should discharge from the bypass bleed. If fuel is not
discharged, replace temperature compensated accelerator pump valve. Install float and needle
assembly, air horn and a new air horn gasket. Tighten attaching screws securely.

Replacement of the OEM alternator to accomodate higher current requirements of vehicle-mounted
electrical equipment may adversely affect the operation of the electric choke on those vehicles so
equipped. For this reason, it is important to examine the electrical system on a subject vehicle to
determine if an electric choke is connected to the OEM alternator stator terminal. If there is such a
connection, a similar connection must be provided on the replacement alternator.
Contact the manufacturer of the replacement alternator to determine the correct method of
connecting to the alternator stator.

Electric Assist Choke: Description and Operation
Fig. 45 Typical electric assist choke installation
Most carbureted engine models are equipped with an electric assist choke. This device aids in
reducing emissions of hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) during starting and warm-up
(choke on) period. The electric assist choke is designed to give a more rapid choke opening at
temperatures of about 54° to 74° F, or higher. It also provides a slower choke opening at
temperatures below this point. The electric assist choke system does not change any carburetor
service procedures and cannot be adjusted. If system is found out of calibration the heater control
switch and/or choke unit must be replaced. The electric choke system, Fig. 45 consists of a choke
cap, thermostatic spring, a bimetal temperature sensing disc (switch), and a ceramic positive
temperature coefficient (PTC) heater. The choke is powered from terminal or tap of the alternator.
Current is constantly supplied to the ambient temperature switch. The system is grounded through
a ground strap connected to the carburetor body. At temperatures below approximately 60° F, the
switch opens and no current is supplied to the ceramic heater located within the thermostatic
spring. Normal thermostatic spring choking action then occurs. At temperatures above
approximately 54°---74° F the temperature sensing switch closes and current is supplied to the
ceramic heater. As the heater warms, it causes the thermostatic spring to pull the choke plates
open within 1 - 1.25 minutes.

Electric Assist Choke: Testing and Inspection
1. Disconnect stator lead at connector leading from choke cap and connect a test light in series
with stator lead and ground.
2. With engine running, test light should glow.
3. If light does not glow, repair or replace either the alternator or choke wire.
4. With engine running at normal operating temperature, place test light in series with choke
terminal and alternator lead. If light does not glow, replace choke cap assembly.

ISSUE: Rough idle, hesitation, poor throttle response, induction backfire and stalls during cold
start/warm up may be caused by the poor volatility of some high octane premium grade unleaded
fuels (91 octane or higher (R+M)/2). When compared to regular grade unleaded fuel (87 octane
(R+M)/2), high octane premium grade unleaded fuel may cause long crank time.
ACTION: Use a regular grade unleaded fuel in all vehicles, except where a premium unleaded fuel
is recommended in the Owner Guide. If lean air-fuel type symptoms are experienced, determine
the grade and brand of fuel used and offer the following service tips.
^ Advise those using a higher octane grade fuel to switch to a regular grade unleaded fuel. For
those using a regular grade fuel, advise them to try another brand.
^ Do not advise using a higher octane unleaded fuel than is recommended for that specific engine.
Ford engines are designed to perform best using a high quality regular grade unleaded fuel.
^ Only advise using a higher octane unleaded fuel to avoid potentially damaging spark knock or
ping, but do so only after mechanical fixes are ineffective.

ISSUE: California introduced CaRFG around March 1, 1996 and statewide it must be available at
all service stations by June 1, 1996 to help reduce emissions and improve gasoline quality. It will
replace the traditional gasoline sold in Northern California and improve the reformulated gasoline
that has been sold in Southern California since January 1995. California Air Resources Board
(CARB) projects smog forming emissions from motor vehicles to be reduced by about 15 percent.
ACTION: The following text is provided to give some answers to some commonly asked questions
by our customers.
POSITION
Ford Motor Company recommends the use of CaRFG as a cost effective means of reducing
emissions to provide cleaner air. We have participated in vehicle and laboratory testing of CaRFG
to make sure it is acceptable for our customers' use. There are no unusual vehicle performance
concerns expected based upon these studies. The use of CaRFG will not affect Ford's new vehicle
and/or emissions warranty.
WHAT DOES CaRFG CONSIST OF?
CaRFG consists of the same basic components as other gasolines, but it reduces pollution
because of its cleaner burning components. Features are:
^ reduced aromatic hydrocarbons to form less smog emissions
^ added oxygenates to reduce emissions
^ decreases the amount of fuel evaporating from the vehicle
^ lowered sulfur content to provide more efficient operation of the vehicle's catalytic converter

Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Fuel: > 96107 > May > 96 > Fuel - California Reformulated
Gasoline > Page 3289
^ reduced benzene by about one-half
IS CaRFG MORE HAZARDOUS THAN CONVENTIONAL GASOLINES?
CaRFG is a hazardous substance like conventional gasoline. Precautions should continue to be
taken to avoid exposure to vapors or liquid when it is pumped or handled. It should never be
siphoned or swallowed.
HOW WILL CaRFG AFFECT VEHICLE PERFORMANCE?
Properly blended CaRFG should have no adverse effect on vehicle performance or the durability of
engine and fuel system components. Its basic properties are not significantly different than other
cleaner burning gasolines that have been used in the U.S. for several years.
If the vehicle is a certified California calibration 1996 or later model year, it was designed to operate
on CaRFG gasoline. The vehicle will operate satisfactorily on gasolines in the other 49 states, but
emission control system performance may be affected. Using gasolines other than CaRFG have
substantially increased emissions from motor vehicles.
WILL THE USE OF CaRFG AFFECT CALIFORNIA VEHICLE WARRANTY?
No. The coverage of Ford's new vehicle warranty is not affected. In fact, Ford Owner Guides have
consistently approved the use of properly blended reformulated gasolines containing oxygenates.
Further information about properly fueling your vehicle is included in the Owner Guide.
WILL FUEL ECONOMY BE AFFECTED?
A very small reduction in fuel economy of less than one-half mile per gallon is possible if the
customer was using gasoline without oxygenates. This is attributed to the lower energy content of
oxygenates which have been in all Southern California gasolines since January of 1995 and in
some gasolines since the 1970's.
Many factors affect fuel economy like driving habits, vehicle maintenance, weather conditions, etc.
Fuel economy can vary by more than a mile per gallon from one fill-up to the next with the same
gasolines.
For further details see TSB Article 95-12-2 for customer expectations regarding fuel economy.
ARE SPECIAL ADDITIVES NECESSARY FOR CaRFG?
No. It is not necessary to add anything to the vehicle fuel tank after the gasoline is purchased from
the service station. California regulations require deposit control additives in CaRFG to minimize
port fuel injector and intake valve deposits.
WILL OLDER VEHICLES OPERATE SATISFACTORILY WITH THE NEW CaRFG?
Older vehicles are expected to operate satisfactorily on CaRFG because vehicles have been
operating on gasolines similar to CaRFG for a number of years. However, considerable testing
indicates that older, high mileage vehicles are more susceptible to fuel system problems due to age
and normal wear and tear regardless of whether they are operated on conventional or CaRFG
gasolines. Owners of these older vehicles are encouraged to follow their vehicle manufacturer's
recommendations regarding vehicle maintenance.
WILL THE SMELL BE DIFFERENT THAN CONVENTIONAL GASOLINE?
CaRFG is not expected to smell different than the gasoline most vehicles are currently using. If an
unusual odor is noticed, it would probably be from oxygenates. Most service stations use vapor
recovery systems to minimize the release of gasoline vapors while refueling.
The use of CaRFG should result in little or no "rotten egg" smell from the exhaust because CaRFG
has much lower sulfur than conventional gasoline.
WAS CaRFG TESTED BEFORE INTRODUCTION?
It was tested for over five million miles in more than 800 vehicles under the guidance of CARB
including experts representing automobile manufacturers, gasoline suppliers, fleet operations and
government. There was no increase in problems identified with the use of CaRFG.
DOES CaRFG COST MORE?
The price at the pump cannot be accurately predicted, although a modest increase is likely. The
price of CaRFG is subject to the competitive forces in the marketplace. Many factors including
production costs, supply and demand, weather, crude oil prices, and taxes affect gasoline prices.
WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION ON CaRFG?
Additional information within the state of California on CaRFG is available from the California Air
Resources Board toll-free at 1-800-922-7349 (within California only).

ISSUE: California introduced CaRFG around March 1, 1996 and statewide it must be available at
all service stations by June 1, 1996 to help reduce emissions and improve gasoline quality. It will
replace the traditional gasoline sold in Northern California and improve the reformulated gasoline
that has been sold in Southern California since January 1995. California Air Resources Board
(CARB) projects smog forming emissions from motor vehicles to be reduced by about 15 percent.
ACTION: The following text is provided to give some answers to some commonly asked questions
by our customers.
POSITION
Ford Motor Company recommends the use of CaRFG as a cost effective means of reducing
emissions to provide cleaner air. We have participated in vehicle and laboratory testing of CaRFG
to make sure it is acceptable for our customers' use. There are no unusual vehicle performance
concerns expected based upon these studies. The use of CaRFG will not affect Ford's new vehicle
and/or emissions warranty.
WHAT DOES CaRFG CONSIST OF?
CaRFG consists of the same basic components as other gasolines, but it reduces pollution
because of its cleaner burning components. Features are:
^ reduced aromatic hydrocarbons to form less smog emissions
^ added oxygenates to reduce emissions
^ decreases the amount of fuel evaporating from the vehicle
^ lowered sulfur content to provide more efficient operation of the vehicle's catalytic converter

Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Fuel: > 96107 > May > 96 > Fuel - California Reformulated
Gasoline > Page 3305
^ reduced benzene by about one-half
IS CaRFG MORE HAZARDOUS THAN CONVENTIONAL GASOLINES?
CaRFG is a hazardous substance like conventional gasoline. Precautions should continue to be
taken to avoid exposure to vapors or liquid when it is pumped or handled. It should never be
siphoned or swallowed.
HOW WILL CaRFG AFFECT VEHICLE PERFORMANCE?
Properly blended CaRFG should have no adverse effect on vehicle performance or the durability of
engine and fuel system components. Its basic properties are not significantly different than other
cleaner burning gasolines that have been used in the U.S. for several years.
If the vehicle is a certified California calibration 1996 or later model year, it was designed to operate
on CaRFG gasoline. The vehicle will operate satisfactorily on gasolines in the other 49 states, but
emission control system performance may be affected. Using gasolines other than CaRFG have
substantially increased emissions from motor vehicles.
WILL THE USE OF CaRFG AFFECT CALIFORNIA VEHICLE WARRANTY?
No. The coverage of Ford's new vehicle warranty is not affected. In fact, Ford Owner Guides have
consistently approved the use of properly blended reformulated gasolines containing oxygenates.
Further information about properly fueling your vehicle is included in the Owner Guide.
WILL FUEL ECONOMY BE AFFECTED?
A very small reduction in fuel economy of less than one-half mile per gallon is possible if the
customer was using gasoline without oxygenates. This is attributed to the lower energy content of
oxygenates which have been in all Southern California gasolines since January of 1995 and in
some gasolines since the 1970's.
Many factors affect fuel economy like driving habits, vehicle maintenance, weather conditions, etc.
Fuel economy can vary by more than a mile per gallon from one fill-up to the next with the same
gasolines.
For further details see TSB Article 95-12-2 for customer expectations regarding fuel economy.
ARE SPECIAL ADDITIVES NECESSARY FOR CaRFG?
No. It is not necessary to add anything to the vehicle fuel tank after the gasoline is purchased from
the service station. California regulations require deposit control additives in CaRFG to minimize
port fuel injector and intake valve deposits.
WILL OLDER VEHICLES OPERATE SATISFACTORILY WITH THE NEW CaRFG?
Older vehicles are expected to operate satisfactorily on CaRFG because vehicles have been
operating on gasolines similar to CaRFG for a number of years. However, considerable testing
indicates that older, high mileage vehicles are more susceptible to fuel system problems due to age
and normal wear and tear regardless of whether they are operated on conventional or CaRFG
gasolines. Owners of these older vehicles are encouraged to follow their vehicle manufacturer's
recommendations regarding vehicle maintenance.
WILL THE SMELL BE DIFFERENT THAN CONVENTIONAL GASOLINE?
CaRFG is not expected to smell different than the gasoline most vehicles are currently using. If an
unusual odor is noticed, it would probably be from oxygenates. Most service stations use vapor
recovery systems to minimize the release of gasoline vapors while refueling.
The use of CaRFG should result in little or no "rotten egg" smell from the exhaust because CaRFG
has much lower sulfur than conventional gasoline.
WAS CaRFG TESTED BEFORE INTRODUCTION?
It was tested for over five million miles in more than 800 vehicles under the guidance of CARB
including experts representing automobile manufacturers, gasoline suppliers, fleet operations and
government. There was no increase in problems identified with the use of CaRFG.
DOES CaRFG COST MORE?
The price at the pump cannot be accurately predicted, although a modest increase is likely. The
price of CaRFG is subject to the competitive forces in the marketplace. Many factors including
production costs, supply and demand, weather, crude oil prices, and taxes affect gasoline prices.
WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION ON CaRFG?
Additional information within the state of California on CaRFG is available from the California Air
Resources Board toll-free at 1-800-922-7349 (within California only).

HARD START - LONG CRANK TIMES (5.0L EFI)
LIGHT TRUCK F-SERIES, BRONCO
Long crank time and/or hard start with a cold or hot engine may be the result of a leaking fuel
pressure regulator. The leak (internal) lets the pressure leak down at the fuel rail. This causes a no
fuel or starvation until the pressure is built up again.
Perform the following to alleviate this concern.
NOTE: Prior to any repair:
Run the engine several minutes and shut down.
Rough/unstable idle with a lower than normal vacuum may indicate stuck/leaky injectors which
would contribute to a loss in system pressure.
Check the fuel system for external leaks - lines, connections at the filter, fuel rails, pressure
regulator and injectors. Repair as necessary.
If no leaks are present: Turn the ignition switch to "On" position and hold for two seconds. DO NOT
CRANK ENGINE. Repeat ten times. If engine now starts normally, it indicates a fuel system
pressure leak down/loss. Continue with the following procedure. If it doesn't start, then the problem
is not pressure regulator related. Refer to engine diagnostic procedure.
1. Relieve pressure in fuel rail per Section 24-50-28, 1985 Light Truck Shop Manual, Volume B.
2. Remove the fuel pressure regulator.
3. Inspect the gasket and O-ring for cracks and cuts, replace as required.
4. Connect the vacuum gauge to the fuel return tube (7/32-inch diameter tube centered on
baseplate).
5. Apply 20 inches Hg. of vacuum.
6. Vacuum must not drop below 10 inches Hg. in 10 seconds.
If vacuum check does not drop below 10 inches Hg. in 10 seconds, the valve seat is good.
Reassemble the regulator to the fuel manifold rail and check the fuel pump for a leaky check valve.
If the vacuum indicates a leaky valve seat in the pressure regulator, replace the regulator.

FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE PROCEDURE FOR NYLON FUEL TUBES AND PUSH CONNECT
FITTINGS
LIGHT TRUCK 1985 RANGER, BRONCO II, E & F SERIES WITH EFI ENGINES
If services are required on vehicles equipped with nylon fuel tubes and EFI fuel systems, service
parts and service procedures are being released. The following procedure clarifies Shop Manual
Section 24-50 of the 1985 Truck Shop Manual, Engine - Volume B, and must be adhered to:
MAJOR SERVICE OPERATIONS
Fuel Lines
Vehicles equipped with nylon fuel tubes and push connect fittings have three types of service that
can be performed to the fuel lines; replacing nylon tubing (splicing nylon to nylon), replacing push
connector and replacing damaged push connect tube end. These three methods follow:
Splicing Nylon to Nylon
1. Relieve fuel system pressure as outlined in the 1985 Car/Truck Shop Manual - Powertrain
Section 24-50. Read cautionary note prior to relieving pressurized fuel system.
2. Cut out damaged section of tubing and retain as a guide.
3. Cut a section of nylon service tubing (type 11 or 12 available in 5/16 and 3/8 inch sizes) to the
same length as the damaged section of tubing.
Figure 23 - Tubing Splice
4. Select the proper (5/16 and 3/8 inch) barbed connectors for completing the splice. Two
connectors are required for each splice (Figure 23).
NOTE: To make hand insertion of the barbed connectors into the nylon easier, the tube end must
be soaked in a cup of boiling water for one minute immediately before pushing the barbs into the
nylon. Refer to Figure 23 for all splicing service combinations.
5. Install the barbed connectors into each end of the replacement tubing using boiling water as
outlined.
6. Install clips onto any tubes which might be difficult to access once the final splices are
completed.
a. Install four (4) Keystone clamps (part number 377931) onto the original nylon tubing (loosely)
before beginning Step 7.
7. Complete the splice of the replacement nylon to the original nylon tubing at both ends. (Use the
boiling water method mentioned previously, to get the required number of barbs engaged, as
shown in Figure 23).

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Supply Line > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Fuel Line Spring Lock Coupling - Service Procedures > Page 3387
a. Tighten the clamps in the locations shown in Figure 23.
8. Install any remaining clips which were removed for this service and check that the tubes are
secure in the original clips.
9. Start engine and check for leaks.
Replacing Damaged Push Connectors
1. Relieve fuel system pressure as outlined in the 1985 Car/Truck Shop Manual - Powertrain
Section 24-50. Read cautionary note prior to relieving pressurized fuel system.
NOTE: Damaged push connectors must be discarded and replaced with new push connectors. If
only the retaining clip is damaged, replace the clip.
2. Disconnect the damaged push connector. Be sure to bend the shipping tab to the side before
removing retaining clip.
Figure 22 - FUEL LINE SERVICE PARTS
3. Select the proper size replacement push connector and nylon tube assembly (Figure 22).
4. Cut out a section of the original nylon tube to the same length as the nylon tube attached to the
new push connector.
5. Install proper barbed connector into the replacement nylon assembly.

Figure 23 - Tubing Splice
NOTE: To make hand insertion of the barbed connectors into the nylon easier, the tube end must
be soaked in a cup of boiling water for one minute immediately before pushing the barbs into the
nylon. Refer to Figure 23 for all splicing service combinations.
a. Put two (2) Keystone clamps (part number 377931) onto the original nylon tubing (loosely)
before beginning Step 6.
6. Complete the splice by connecting the barbed connector to the original nylon. Refer to Figure 23
for the proper barb insertion.
a. Tighten the clamps in the locations shown in Figure 23.
7. Connect the new connector assembly to the steel tube end. Pull back on the connection to
insure that the fittings have completely engaged and are locked.
8. Check that the underbody clips are properly securing the fuel tubes.
9. Start engine and check for fuel leaks.
Replacing Damaged Steel Push Connect Tube Ends
1. Relieve fuel system pressure as outlined in the 1985 Car/Truck Shop Manual - Powertrain
Section 24-50. Read cautionary note prior to relieving pressurized fuel systems.
2. Using a tube cutter, remove the damaged push connect tube end at a convenient distance from
the end.
NOTE: Allow for adequate room to tighten a union with a wrench at this location.

Figure 22 - FUEL LINE SERVICE PARTS
3. Choose a proper replacement push connect tube end (Figure 22).
4. If required, form a new tube end to the same shape as the damaged tube end which was
removed.
5. Select the proper size union (Figure 22) and attach the new steel tube end to the original tube.
6. Clean off the steel tube end and insert the push connector onto the tube. (A new retainer clip is
recommended.) Pull back on the connection to insure that fittings have completely engaged and
are locked.
7. Check that the underbody clips are properly securing the fuel tubes.
8. Start engine and check for leaks.

MOAN/DRONE (5.0L/5.8L) - 2100 2800 RPM
LIGHT TRUCK 1983-85 ECONOLINE, F150-350, BRONCO
A moan/drone condition encountered at 55-65 mph may be a 2100-2800 engine rpm-related
condition. Diagnosis and servicing will require a good road test followed by servicing of: 1) engine
mounting, 2) exhaust hanger, 3) alternator pulley, and 4) alternator/thermactor braces depending
on vehicle model and engine combination.
1. Road Test & Service Engine Mountings
a. Road test vehicle. The vehicle should be equipped with a portable tachometer and driven at a
road speed of 55-65 MPH (engine speed of 2100-2800 RPM). The A/C system should be in the
"off" position and the vehicle should be
evaluated on a smooth surfaced road or highway. If the road test verifies a "drone/ moan"
condition, then the following procedures should be followed:
Figure 25
b. On Bronco and F150-350 vehicles, loosen the No. 3 crossmember/rear engine support gussets
at the attachment to the crossmember. If the gussets pull away from the crossmember, add shims
to the gap. Retighten mounting bolts (install larger bolts if required). Refer to attached Figure 25).
c. On model F150-350 (4x2)/E150-350 vehicles, inspect rear engine insulator (mount) for correct
usage of Engineering Part E3TA-6D091-A/Service Part E0TZ-6068-B (white color code). Install
correct part if required. Inspect mount for correct orientation of "capture strap" which could bind up
the mount.
With the vehicle on a two-post hoist, neutralize the front and rear engine support insulators (front
and rear engine mounts) by loosening the front and rear engine mounts attaching bolts (attaching
front mounts to support bracket and the rear mount to the No. 3 crossmember.
Lower the vehicle and place safety stands under the front and rear axles. Start the engine and shift
the automatic transmission into "drive" and back into "neutral" several times while engine is idling.
With manual transmission, load engine by shifting transmission into forward and reverse gears and,
with the parking brake partially applied, slip the clutch to load the engine. Raise the vehicle and
remove the axle stands. Retorque front and rear engine mount attaching bolts (refer to Section
21-21 of 1983-1984 Light Truck Shop Manual for torque specifications). Lower vehicle and remove
from hoist.
d. Re-road test to establish concern resolution. If concern is not resolved, continue procedure.

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.

NOTE: EFFECTIVE WITH THIS TSB, THROTTLE BODY CLEANING IS NO LONGER COVERED
UNDER 5/50 EMISSIONS WARRANTY,
UNLESS AS SPECIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING APPLICATION CHARTS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
THE CORRECT PROCEDURE MAY RESULT IN THE CLAIM BEING DISALLOWED.
The idle air adjust spacer incorporates sludge tolerant design features that eliminate throttle body
sludge related conditions. Once installed, throttle body cleaning is not allowed and periodic
adjustment of the throttle body is not required.
Procedures, Warranty and Labor
CHECKS TO MAKE PRIOR TO SERVICE KIT INSTALLATION
Confirm that the following items are not causing the idle quality concern before proceeding with the
service kit installation.
^ Contamination within the idle air by-pass solenoid
^ Lack of fuel system control (excessively rich or lean)
^ Ignition timing change
^ Incorrect or malfunctioning EGR system
^ Incorrect or malfunctioning cooling system
^ Vacuum leaks (air intake manifold, vacuum hoses, vacuum reservoirs, power brake booster
where applicable)
^ EEC diagnostics have been performed and vehicle malfunction indicated service output codes
have been resolved and cleared.
If any of the areas listed above are found to be at fault, correct them before proceeding with the
service kit installation.

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.

Compensator
Fig. 7 Electrical type altitude compensator
ELECTRICAL The electrical type altitude compensator, Fig. 7, used on some vehicles, is mounted
on the ignition module. The compensator improves emissions and aids engine performance at
altitudes above 4000 ft. by advancing the timing and leaning the air/fuel mixture.
Fig. 8 Mechanical type altitude compensator
MECHANICAL The mechanical type altitude compensator, Fig. 8, is mounted on the bulkhead. The
compensator leans the air/fuel mixture at altitudes above 3000 ft. by supplying additional filtered air
to the carburetor.

Idle/Altitude Compensator (Non Comp. Controlled): Description and Operation Hot Idle
Compensator
Fig. 17 Hot idle compensator
The hot idle compensator, Fig. 17, used on some vehicles, cools the engine during hot idle
operation. The compensator may be integral with the carburetor or mounted separately. When
open, the compensator bleeds air into the manifold, leaning out the air/fuel mixture at idle. This
increased air intake causes an increase in engine idle speed, resulting in cooling of the engine.
Temperature rise on the bi-metal sensor lifts the normally closed valve and opens the air passage.
A valve that does not fully close will cause high idle speed and excessive exhaust emission.

ISSUE: Reports have been received of internal damage occuring to 2.9L, 5.0L EFI and 6.9L light
truck engines due to water being drawn into the air intake system while the vehicles are being
driven in normal wet conditions, such as water splash/spray from vehicles or in shallow water.
ACTION: The air cleaner for the 6.9L engine has been changed to correct the condition on 1987
model year vehicles. Prior model year changes are covered in TSB 87-2-26. Improvements to the
air inlet systems for the 2.9L and 5.0L EFI engines will occur in the 1988 model year.
Because the concern can occur during normal operating conditions, dealers are urged to assure
that in-warranty repairs are not denied unless there is evidence of owner misuse.

Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Description and Operation
The vane air flow meter measures air flowing into the engine and is mounted between the air
cleaner and the throttle body assembly. The meter contains a movable vane directly connected to a
potentiometer. Air rushing through the vane air flow meter, changes the position of the vane and
potentiometer. The potentiometer relays vane position information to the EEC-IV module. The
EEC-IV module, then translates vane position information into the amount of air flowing into the
engine. An air temperature sensor is incorporated within the vane air flow meter. This sensor
constantly monitors air temperature entering the engine and also transmits the information to the
EEC-IV module. The EEC-IV module receives, then computes the air flow and air temperature
information and adjusts the fuel flow to obtain the optimum air/fuel mixture required.

CALIBRATION: All with EEC IV
WARNING: This modification is authorized only for the listed engines. Performing this modification
on other engine calibrations is unauthorized and could create liability under applicable federal or
local laws.
A new design Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) has been released for all 1986 EEC IV applications.
The new TPS is designed to eliminate a false Self-Test Code 53. A Code 53 indicates the TPS
system has failed at the wide open throttle position (approximately 5.0 volts), The new TPS
eliminates false Code 53 by limiting the wide open throttle voltage to 4.75 volts. With the new TPS,
Code 53 will only result from a circuit or TPS malfunction.
The new Throttle Position Sensors can be used to replace faulty sensors on 1985 vehicles. If the
old design service part is used, a false Code 53 may result.

ISSUE: All Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) mounting screws have a "Pozidrive" head. The
"Pozidrive" head looks a lot like a Phillips screw head. Use of a Phillips head screwdriver to remove
a "Pozidrive" screw will normally result in a rounded or damaged screw head. Many technicians
think it is an overtorqued or "frozen" screw. An adhesive was also used as a thread sealant starting
with the 1988 model year. This adhesive requires still more effort to loosen and remove the screw.
ACTION: To prevent rounded or damages screw heads when servicing the TPS mounting screws,
technicians should always use a # 2 "Pozidrive" screwdriver.

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.

CALIBRATION: All with EEC IV
WARNING: This modification is authorized only for the listed engines. Performing this modification
on other engine calibrations is unauthorized and could create liability under applicable federal or
local laws.
A new design Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) has been released for all 1986 EEC IV applications.
The new TPS is designed to eliminate a false Self-Test Code 53. A Code 53 indicates the TPS
system has failed at the wide open throttle position (approximately 5.0 volts), The new TPS
eliminates false Code 53 by limiting the wide open throttle voltage to 4.75 volts. With the new TPS,
Code 53 will only result from a circuit or TPS malfunction.
The new Throttle Position Sensors can be used to replace faulty sensors on 1985 vehicles. If the
old design service part is used, a false Code 53 may result.

ISSUE: All Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) mounting screws have a "Pozidrive" head. The
"Pozidrive" head looks a lot like a Phillips screw head. Use of a Phillips head screwdriver to remove
a "Pozidrive" screw will normally result in a rounded or damaged screw head. Many technicians
think it is an overtorqued or "frozen" screw. An adhesive was also used as a thread sealant starting
with the 1988 model year. This adhesive requires still more effort to loosen and remove the screw.
ACTION: To prevent rounded or damages screw heads when servicing the TPS mounting screws,
technicians should always use a # 2 "Pozidrive" screwdriver.

1. Install an EEC-IV breakout box (Rotunda part# T83-50 EEC-IV, or equivalent) to the vehicle.
2. Set a DVOM (Rotunda part# 014-00407, or equivalent) to the 20 volt scale. Insert the positive
lead into test socket 47 and the negative lead into socket 46 of the breakout box.
3. Turn the ignition ON, but DO NOT start the vehicle.
4. Check the reading on the DVOM. If it is not 0.9-1.1 volts, loosen the Throttle Position (TP)
sensor mounting screws and rotate the sensor until the voltage falls within this range.
5. Tighten the mounting screws to 11-16 lb. in. (1.2-1.8 N-m).
6. While observing the DVOM, move the throttle through the entire range of motion. The reading
should go from 1.0 volt to at least 4.0 volts and back to 1.0 volt.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1985-93 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES
ISSUE: Spark knock may be caused by variability in ignition PIP (Profile Ignition Pick-up) output
due to a combination of engine torsional vibrations and distributor electrical characteristics. A spark
advance spike is generated which repeats every eight firings.
ACTION: Perform the following Service Bay Diagnostic System procedure and, if necessary,
replace the distributor.
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING SBDS PROCEDURE MUST BE USED TO VERIFY IF THE SPECIFIED
CONDITION EXISTS ON A GIVEN EFI/TFI 5.0L/5.8L ENGINE. DISTRIBUTORS ON ENGINES
THAT HAVE A DETONATION CONCERN AND THAT DO NOT PASS THE SBDS TEST MUST
BE RETURNED THROUGH WARRANTY WITH A "BEFORE AND AFTER" PRINTOUT OF THE
SBDS IGNITION GRAPH (WITH THE SPIKING CLEARLY SHOWN) TO QUALIFY FOR
REIMBURSEMENT.
SERVICE BAY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM PROCEDURE
1. Use SBDS 60 pin roadtest monitor/record. Select parameters PIP and Spout.
2. Start the warm engine and idle for at least two (2) minutes to allow EEC IV to learn and correct
for normal PIP variance.
a. Record data using PVA pendant.
b. Store the data in a buffer.
3. Upload the data to the Cart and go to the playback graph mode.
4. Select Digital PIP and analog spark. Move the cursor to the smoothest (least noise) section of
the spark curve, Figure 1.

5. Zoom in on the recording as much as possible. Look for timing spikes that REPEAT EVERY
EIGHTH FIRING OF THE DIGITAL PIP SIGNAL, Figure 2.
6. Move the cursor across all spikes to read the timing difference.
NOTE: THE SPARK ADVANCE WILL SPIKE UPWARD AT LEAST 20 ON SUSPECT VEHICLES.
7. Print the graph for warranty use.

Hall Effect Sensor: Description and Operation
Profile Ignition Pickup
The PIP signal is created in the Hall Effect and Stator assembly and indicates crankshaft position
and engine RPM Fig. 21. The PIP signal is fed to both the TFI module and the ECA.
PIP Sensor
COMPONENTS The Hall Effect device is made up of a voltage regulator, a Hall voltage generator,
Darlington amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and an open collector output stage integrated in a single
monolithic silicon chip Fig. 22. A signal is produced when a ferrous material is passed through the
opening and the flux lines decrease. The Hall generator (Hall device) sends a sine wave signal to
the Darlington amplifier. The Darlington amplifier inverts the signal. When the signal is low the
output is high. When the signal is high the output is low. This output then goes to the Schmitt
trigger. The Schmitt trigger shapes the signal into a square wave (digital high) signal.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Hall Effect Sensor, Ignition > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 3760
PIP Signal Operation
OPERATION The output signal to the Darlington amplifier is high when the window (on the
armature) allows the magnetic field to reach the Hall device (switch off) Fig. 23. When the TAB
shunts the magnetic field (closes) away from the Hall device the signal is low to the Darlington
amplifier (switch on).
Hall Effect Sensor
In other words when one of the windows or openings is in the gap between the Hall device and the
permanent magnet, the field stays strong and the voltage is high since the magnetic path is
complete from the magnet, through the Hall device, and back to the magnet. In this case the switch
is off and the Hall Effect does not send a signal. When the TAB enters the gap, the armature cuts
off the magnetic path to the Hall device and its voltage drops. In this case the switch is on and the
Hall Effect device sends a signal. The signal is switched On and Off as long as the armature is
rotating (distributor is turning) and opening and closing the magnetic path. This is the signal used
by the ECA to interpret crankshaft position and engine RPM. The signal can also be used by the
TFI module if the SPOUT signal from the ECA is lost.

Signature PIP
SIGNATURE PIP Some Electronic Engine Control (EEC) vehicles are equipped with a signature
profile ignition pickup signal. The regular type armature used for the PIP signal has the same size
tabs and windows. In a signature PIP signal armature, one of the tabs is narrower than the others
Fig. 25. The narrower tab provides a different signal to the ECA when it passes through the Hall
Effect switch. When the ECA sees the narrow tab it knows when to properly pulse the fuel injectors.
This system is used on cars and trucks where the ECA needs to know when to pulse certain
injectors. For example, on sequential electronic fuel injection (SEFI) systems, each injector is
pulsed to coincide with its intake valve opening. With the signature PIP, the ECA knows when the
No. 1 cylinder needs to be supplied with fuel.

Stumbles, stals, poor performance, ignition noise in the radio, erratic electronic clock performance
or erratic service codes during vehicle Quick Test can be caused by high voltage arc in the E-core
ignition coil.
Figure 8
The arc is a result of an open or high resistance in the coil secondary winding. The arc generates
high fre quency noise in the vehicle electrical system. This noise can disrupt the EEC syste and
invalid service codes such as 22,10,20,30, or 40 BCT. This condition can be checked as follows:
1. Place the ignition switch in the OFF position.
2. Disconnect the E-core ignition coil primary and secondary leads.
3. Using Rotunda digital volt-ohmmeter 007-00001, measure the resistance between the primary
(+) terminal and the high voltage secondary terminal. (Figure 8).
4. If the resistance is greater than 14,000 ohms, replace the coil.
5. Reconnect the high voltage secondary lead and confirm that the protective boot is fully seated.

ISSUE: Stalling and/or a no-start condition on vehicles with EEC IV and certain TFI modules may
be caused by moisture or salt splash entering at the upper right hand mounting hole of the TFI
module housing. This condition will result in a service code 14.
ACTION: To correct this, use the following diagnostic and service procedure to seal the hole and
prevent further concerns.
NOTE: The distributor does not have to be removed to perform this repair.
1. Check to see if the TFI-IV module part number suffix is A2A and the date code is 6K08 or prior,
(mounting hole was sealed after 6K08). If the suffix is not A2A, use normal diagnostic procedures
and do not perform Steps 2 and 3.
2. Thoroughly clean and dry upper right hand mounting hole of the TFI module with a clean paper
towel.
3. Fill the cleaned hole with silicone grease (D7AZ-19A331-A).
4. Clear service code 14 from memory.

Low mileage vehicles may experience an intermittent no start or stall at idle. This concern can be
experienced on all 1986 production vehicles or on vehicles that have had a TFI IV Ignition Module
Service replaced using part number E3EF-12A297-AlA.
If an internal short circuit occurs in some recently manufactured TFI IV Ignition Modules (part
number suffix A1A), the Hall sensor may become shorted to ground. At the moment of short, the
EEC processor will not receive a PIP signal and the vehicle will not start or may stall at idle. The
concern has been isolated to TFIIV Ignition Modules with a part number that contains the A1A
suffix and a manufacturing date code of 5FOl (85 June 01) through 6D17 (86 April 17). The date
code is heat stamped on the module connector shroud.
1. Follow normal Shop Manual, Volume H service procedures.
NOTE: This concern can be an intermittent condition and Intermittent Diagnostic Procedures may
have to be followed.
2. If replacement of the TFI IV Ignition Module is indicated, assure that service replacement part
contains a part number with a suffix of A2A or one with a suffix of A1A and a manufacturing date
code before 5FOl or after 6D17.

CALIBRATIONS: All with TFI Systems
If the TFI module fails and causes a short to ground, the primary winding of the ignition coil can be
damaged. The TFI diagnostic procedure published in the Shop Manual will not identify this
condition.
When servicing a weak or no spark condition, perform the following:
1. Check for spark using the procedures found in the Manual Information, Computerized Engine,
Quick Test Section, Test 1.
2. If there is no spark, test the coil primary resistance using Rotunda digital volt-ohmmeter
007-00001, as shown.
3. If the coil primary resistance is O.K., continue with the diagnostic procedure in Test 1.
4. If the coil primary resistance is not O.K., replace the coil and recheck for weak or no spark. If the
spark is now O.K., the problem is resolved.
5. If the spark is still NOT O.K., continue with normal diagnostic procedure in Test 1.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1985-93 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES
ISSUE: Spark knock may be caused by variability in ignition PIP (Profile Ignition Pick-up) output
due to a combination of engine torsional vibrations and distributor electrical characteristics. A spark
advance spike is generated which repeats every eight firings.
ACTION: Perform the following Service Bay Diagnostic System procedure and, if necessary,
replace the distributor.
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING SBDS PROCEDURE MUST BE USED TO VERIFY IF THE SPECIFIED
CONDITION EXISTS ON A GIVEN EFI/TFI 5.0L/5.8L ENGINE. DISTRIBUTORS ON ENGINES
THAT HAVE A DETONATION CONCERN AND THAT DO NOT PASS THE SBDS TEST MUST
BE RETURNED THROUGH WARRANTY WITH A "BEFORE AND AFTER" PRINTOUT OF THE
SBDS IGNITION GRAPH (WITH THE SPIKING CLEARLY SHOWN) TO QUALIFY FOR
REIMBURSEMENT.
SERVICE BAY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM PROCEDURE
1. Use SBDS 60 pin roadtest monitor/record. Select parameters PIP and Spout.
2. Start the warm engine and idle for at least two (2) minutes to allow EEC IV to learn and correct
for normal PIP variance.
a. Record data using PVA pendant.
b. Store the data in a buffer.
3. Upload the data to the Cart and go to the playback graph mode.
4. Select Digital PIP and analog spark. Move the cursor to the smoothest (least noise) section of
the spark curve, Figure 1.

Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Ignition Control Module: > 931310 > Jun > 93 > Engine Spark Knock Diagnostic Procedure > Page 3856
5. Zoom in on the recording as much as possible. Look for timing spikes that REPEAT EVERY
EIGHTH FIRING OF THE DIGITAL PIP SIGNAL, Figure 2.
6. Move the cursor across all spikes to read the timing difference.
NOTE: THE SPARK ADVANCE WILL SPIKE UPWARD AT LEAST 20 ON SUSPECT VEHICLES.
7. Print the graph for warranty use.
^ Downward spikes would indicate a retarded spark condition and will NOT cause detonation.

^ Graphs without spikes (Figure 3) indicate that the distributor is NOT to be replaced.
8. If spiking is found, replace the distributor with the appropriate 12127 assembly. Refer to the
Dealer Master Parts Catalog for correct parts usage.
a. Reuse the TFI module, cap and rotor.
b. Rerun the procedure and PRINT THE NEW GRAPH to verify that the new distributor corrected
the spark knock condition.
c. Do not disassemble or rebuild the old distributor.
d. Return the distributor with the "before and after" graphs to the Warranty Parts Return Center.

ISSUE: Stalling and/or a no-start condition on vehicles with EEC IV and certain TFI modules may
be caused by moisture or salt splash entering at the upper right hand mounting hole of the TFI
module housing. This condition will result in a service code 14.
ACTION: To correct this, use the following diagnostic and service procedure to seal the hole and
prevent further concerns.
NOTE: The distributor does not have to be removed to perform this repair.
1. Check to see if the TFI-IV module part number suffix is A2A and the date code is 6K08 or prior,
(mounting hole was sealed after 6K08). If the suffix is not A2A, use normal diagnostic procedures
and do not perform Steps 2 and 3.
2. Thoroughly clean and dry upper right hand mounting hole of the TFI module with a clean paper
towel.

Low mileage vehicles may experience an intermittent no start or stall at idle. This concern can be
experienced on all 1986 production vehicles or on vehicles that have had a TFI IV Ignition Module
Service replaced using part number E3EF-12A297-AlA.
If an internal short circuit occurs in some recently manufactured TFI IV Ignition Modules (part
number suffix A1A), the Hall sensor may become shorted to ground. At the moment of short, the
EEC processor will not receive a PIP signal and the vehicle will not start or may stall at idle. The
concern has been isolated to TFIIV Ignition Modules with a part number that contains the A1A
suffix and a manufacturing date code of 5FOl (85 June 01) through 6D17 (86 April 17). The date
code is heat stamped on the module connector shroud.
1. Follow normal Shop Manual, Volume H service procedures.
NOTE: This concern can be an intermittent condition and Intermittent Diagnostic Procedures may
have to be followed.
2. If replacement of the TFI IV Ignition Module is indicated, assure that service replacement part
contains a part number with a suffix of A2A or one with a suffix of A1A and a manufacturing date
code before 5FOl or after 6D17.

If your voltmeter has a high impedance, it will not draw enough current to show a voltage drop
when testing TFI power circuits for resistive connections. To assure an accurate test, attach a test
light between the circuit being tested and ground as shown. The light will draw current through the
connection and allow measurement of the voltage drop so a resistive connection can be identified.
IMPORTANT Do not use a test light while monitoring the PIP or SPOUT signal. The test light draws
more current than the signal circuit can supply. The test light should be used only on power circuits.

CALIBRATIONS: All with TFI Systems
If the TFI module fails and causes a short to ground, the primary winding of the ignition coil can be
damaged. The TFI diagnostic procedure published in the Shop Manual will not identify this
condition.
When servicing a weak or no spark condition, perform the following:
1. Check for spark using the procedures found in the Manual Information, Computerized Engine,
Quick Test Section, Test 1.
2. If there is no spark, test the coil primary resistance using Rotunda digital volt-ohmmeter
007-00001, as shown.
3. If the coil primary resistance is O.K., continue with the diagnostic procedure in Test 1.
4. If the coil primary resistance is not O.K., replace the coil and recheck for weak or no spark. If the
spark is now O.K., the problem is resolved.
5. If the spark is still NOT O.K., continue with normal diagnostic procedure in Test 1.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1985-93 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES
ISSUE: Spark knock may be caused by variability in ignition PIP (Profile Ignition Pick-up) output
due to a combination of engine torsional vibrations and distributor electrical characteristics. A spark
advance spike is generated which repeats every eight firings.
ACTION: Perform the following Service Bay Diagnostic System procedure and, if necessary,
replace the distributor.
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING SBDS PROCEDURE MUST BE USED TO VERIFY IF THE SPECIFIED
CONDITION EXISTS ON A GIVEN EFI/TFI 5.0L/5.8L ENGINE. DISTRIBUTORS ON ENGINES
THAT HAVE A DETONATION CONCERN AND THAT DO NOT PASS THE SBDS TEST MUST
BE RETURNED THROUGH WARRANTY WITH A "BEFORE AND AFTER" PRINTOUT OF THE
SBDS IGNITION GRAPH (WITH THE SPIKING CLEARLY SHOWN) TO QUALIFY FOR
REIMBURSEMENT.
SERVICE BAY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM PROCEDURE
1. Use SBDS 60 pin roadtest monitor/record. Select parameters PIP and Spout.
2. Start the warm engine and idle for at least two (2) minutes to allow EEC IV to learn and correct
for normal PIP variance.
a. Record data using PVA pendant.
b. Store the data in a buffer.
3. Upload the data to the Cart and go to the playback graph mode.
4. Select Digital PIP and analog spark. Move the cursor to the smoothest (least noise) section of
the spark curve, Figure 1.

If your voltmeter has a high impedance, it will not draw enough current to show a voltage drop
when testing TFI power circuits for resistive connections. To assure an accurate test, attach a test
light between the circuit being tested and ground as shown. The light will draw current through the
connection and allow measurement of the voltage drop so a resistive connection can be identified.
IMPORTANT Do not use a test light while monitoring the PIP or SPOUT signal. The test light draws
more current than the signal circuit can supply. The test light should be used only on power circuits.

Ignition Control Module: Description and Operation
Thick Film Ignition Module
The TFI IV ignition module, Fig. 14, has six connector pins at the wiring harness that supplies the
following signals:
Run Crank (start) Tach (coil) PIP (crankshaft position to ECA) Spark output (SPOUT from ECA)
Internal ground from the ECA to the distributor
Ignition System
The TFI IV module supplies the spark to the distributor through the ignition coil and calculates the
duration. It receives its control signal from the ECA (SPOUT) Fig. 29.
NOTE: Some later models use a remote module (Closed Bowl Distributors/CBD). It is located in the
engine compartment (Refer to "COMPONENT LOCATIONS"). The operation is essentially the
same with the exception of the CBD has a wiring harness between the ignition module and the
distributor.

Description and Operation
Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
Knock Sensor
The knock sensor, Fig. 11, is a piezo-electric accelerator accelerometer with the sensor designed
to resonate at approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency.. The sensor uses
the resonant frequency to mechanically amplify the engine knock frequency (5-6 KHz).
This method allows relatively large signals to be achieved without electrical amplification. The
sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two-pin integral connector.

ISSUE: Stalling and/or a no-start condition on vehicles with EEC IV and certain TFI modules may
be caused by moisture or salt splash entering at the upper right hand mounting hole of the TFI
module housing. This condition will result in a service code 14.
ACTION: To correct this, use the following diagnostic and service procedure to seal the hole and
prevent further concerns.
NOTE: The distributor does not have to be removed to perform this repair.
1. Check to see if the TFI-IV module part number suffix is A2A and the date code is 6K08 or prior,
(mounting hole was sealed after 6K08). If the suffix is not A2A, use normal diagnostic procedures
and do not perform Steps 2 and 3.

Low mileage vehicles may experience an intermittent no start or stall at idle. This concern can be
experienced on all 1986 production vehicles or on vehicles that have had a TFI IV Ignition Module
Service replaced using part number E3EF-12A297-AlA.
If an internal short circuit occurs in some recently manufactured TFI IV Ignition Modules (part
number suffix A1A), the Hall sensor may become shorted to ground. At the moment of short, the
EEC processor will not receive a PIP signal and the vehicle will not start or may stall at idle. The
concern has been isolated to TFIIV Ignition Modules with a part number that contains the A1A
suffix and a manufacturing date code of 5FOl (85 June 01) through 6D17 (86 April 17). The date
code is heat stamped on the module connector shroud.
1. Follow normal Shop Manual, Volume H service procedures.
NOTE: This concern can be an intermittent condition and Intermittent Diagnostic Procedures may
have to be followed.
2. If replacement of the TFI IV Ignition Module is indicated, assure that service replacement part
contains a part number with a suffix of A2A or one with a suffix of A1A and a manufacturing date
code before 5FOl or after 6D17.

CALIBRATIONS: All with TFI Systems
If the TFI module fails and causes a short to ground, the primary winding of the ignition coil can be
damaged. The TFI diagnostic procedure published in the Shop Manual will not identify this
condition.
When servicing a weak or no spark condition, perform the following:
1. Check for spark using the procedures found in the Manual Information, Computerized Engine,
Quick Test Section, Test 1.
2. If there is no spark, test the coil primary resistance using Rotunda digital volt-ohmmeter
007-00001, as shown.
3. If the coil primary resistance is O.K., continue with the diagnostic procedure in Test 1.
4. If the coil primary resistance is not O.K., replace the coil and recheck for weak or no spark. If the
spark is now O.K., the problem is resolved.
5. If the spark is still NOT O.K., continue with normal diagnostic procedure in Test 1.

BE RETURNED THROUGH WARRANTY WITH A "BEFORE AND AFTER" PRINTOUT OF THE
SBDS IGNITION GRAPH (WITH THE SPIKING CLEARLY SHOWN) TO QUALIFY FOR
REIMBURSEMENT.
SERVICE BAY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM PROCEDURE
1. Use SBDS 60 pin roadtest monitor/record. Select parameters PIP and Spout.
2. Start the warm engine and idle for at least two (2) minutes to allow EEC IV to learn and correct
for normal PIP variance.
a. Record data using PVA pendant.
b. Store the data in a buffer.
3. Upload the data to the Cart and go to the playback graph mode.
4. Select Digital PIP and analog spark. Move the cursor to the smoothest (least noise) section of
the spark curve, Figure 1.

5. Zoom in on the recording as much as possible. Look for timing spikes that REPEAT EVERY
EIGHTH FIRING OF THE DIGITAL PIP SIGNAL, Figure 2.
6. Move the cursor across all spikes to read the timing difference.
NOTE: THE SPARK ADVANCE WILL SPIKE UPWARD AT LEAST 20 ON SUSPECT VEHICLES.
7. Print the graph for warranty use.
^ Downward spikes would indicate a retarded spark condition and will NOT cause detonation.

^ Graphs without spikes (Figure 3) indicate that the distributor is NOT to be replaced.
8. If spiking is found, replace the distributor with the appropriate 12127 assembly. Refer to the
Dealer Master Parts Catalog for correct parts usage.
a. Reuse the TFI module, cap and rotor.
b. Rerun the procedure and PRINT THE NEW GRAPH to verify that the new distributor corrected
the spark knock condition.
c. Do not disassemble or rebuild the old distributor.
d. Return the distributor with the "before and after" graphs to the Warranty Parts Return Center.

ISSUE: Stalling and/or a no-start condition on vehicles with EEC IV and certain TFI modules may
be caused by moisture or salt splash entering at the upper right hand mounting hole of the TFI
module housing. This condition will result in a service code 14.
ACTION: To correct this, use the following diagnostic and service procedure to seal the hole and
prevent further concerns.
NOTE: The distributor does not have to be removed to perform this repair.
1. Check to see if the TFI-IV module part number suffix is A2A and the date code is 6K08 or prior,
(mounting hole was sealed after 6K08). If the suffix is not A2A, use normal diagnostic procedures
and do not perform Steps 2 and 3.
2. Thoroughly clean and dry upper right hand mounting hole of the TFI module with a clean paper
towel.
3. Fill the cleaned hole with silicone grease (D7AZ-19A331-A).
4. Clear service code 14 from memory.

Low mileage vehicles may experience an intermittent no start or stall at idle. This concern can be
experienced on all 1986 production vehicles or on vehicles that have had a TFI IV Ignition Module
Service replaced using part number E3EF-12A297-AlA.
If an internal short circuit occurs in some recently manufactured TFI IV Ignition Modules (part
number suffix A1A), the Hall sensor may become shorted to ground. At the moment of short, the
EEC processor will not receive a PIP signal and the vehicle will not start or may stall at idle. The
concern has been isolated to TFIIV Ignition Modules with a part number that contains the A1A
suffix and a manufacturing date code of 5FOl (85 June 01) through 6D17 (86 April 17). The date
code is heat stamped on the module connector shroud.
1. Follow normal Shop Manual, Volume H service procedures.
NOTE: This concern can be an intermittent condition and Intermittent Diagnostic Procedures may
have to be followed.
2. If replacement of the TFI IV Ignition Module is indicated, assure that service replacement part
contains a part number with a suffix of A2A or one with a suffix of A1A and a manufacturing date
code before 5FOl or after 6D17.

If your voltmeter has a high impedance, it will not draw enough current to show a voltage drop
when testing TFI power circuits for resistive connections. To assure an accurate test, attach a test
light between the circuit being tested and ground as shown. The light will draw current through the
connection and allow measurement of the voltage drop so a resistive connection can be identified.
IMPORTANT Do not use a test light while monitoring the PIP or SPOUT signal. The test light draws
more current than the signal circuit can supply. The test light should be used only on power circuits.

CALIBRATIONS: All with TFI Systems
If the TFI module fails and causes a short to ground, the primary winding of the ignition coil can be
damaged. The TFI diagnostic procedure published in the Shop Manual will not identify this
condition.
When servicing a weak or no spark condition, perform the following:
1. Check for spark using the procedures found in the Manual Information, Computerized Engine,
Quick Test Section, Test 1.
2. If there is no spark, test the coil primary resistance using Rotunda digital volt-ohmmeter
007-00001, as shown.
3. If the coil primary resistance is O.K., continue with the diagnostic procedure in Test 1.
4. If the coil primary resistance is not O.K., replace the coil and recheck for weak or no spark. If the
spark is now O.K., the problem is resolved.
5. If the spark is still NOT O.K., continue with normal diagnostic procedure in Test 1.

SPARK KNOCK - SERVICE BAY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM PROCEDURE - THICK FILM IGNITION
SYSTEM (TFI) - 1985-93 VEHICLES WITH 5.0L EFI ENGINES AND 1988-93 5.8L EFI ENGINES
LIGHT TRUCK: 1985-93 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES
ISSUE: Spark knock may be caused by variability in ignition PIP (Profile Ignition Pick-up) output
due to a combination of engine torsional vibrations and distributor electrical characteristics. A spark
advance spike is generated which repeats every eight firings.
ACTION: Perform the following Service Bay Diagnostic System procedure and, if necessary,
replace the distributor.
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING SBDS PROCEDURE MUST BE USED TO VERIFY IF THE SPECIFIED
CONDITION EXISTS ON A GIVEN EFI/TFI 5.0L/5.8L ENGINE. DISTRIBUTORS ON ENGINES
THAT HAVE A DETONATION CONCERN AND THAT DO NOT PASS THE SBDS TEST MUST
BE RETURNED THROUGH WARRANTY WITH A "BEFORE AND AFTER" PRINTOUT OF THE
SBDS IGNITION GRAPH (WITH THE SPIKING CLEARLY SHOWN) TO QUALIFY FOR
REIMBURSEMENT.
SERVICE BAY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM PROCEDURE
1. Use SBDS 60 pin roadtest monitor/record. Select parameters PIP and Spout.
2. Start the warm engine and idle for at least two (2) minutes to allow EEC IV to learn and correct
for normal PIP variance.
a. Record data using PVA pendant.
b. Store the data in a buffer.
3. Upload the data to the Cart and go to the playback graph mode.
4. Select Digital PIP and analog spark. Move the cursor to the smoothest (least noise) section of
the spark curve, Figure 1.

Module: > 931310 > Jun > 93 > Engine - Spark Knock Diagnostic Procedure > Page 4042
5. Zoom in on the recording as much as possible. Look for timing spikes that REPEAT EVERY
EIGHTH FIRING OF THE DIGITAL PIP SIGNAL, Figure 2.
6. Move the cursor across all spikes to read the timing difference.
NOTE: THE SPARK ADVANCE WILL SPIKE UPWARD AT LEAST 20 ON SUSPECT VEHICLES.
7. Print the graph for warranty use.
^ Downward spikes would indicate a retarded spark condition and will NOT cause detonation.

^ Graphs without spikes (Figure 3) indicate that the distributor is NOT to be replaced.
8. If spiking is found, replace the distributor with the appropriate 12127 assembly. Refer to the
Dealer Master Parts Catalog for correct parts usage.
a. Reuse the TFI module, cap and rotor.
b. Rerun the procedure and PRINT THE NEW GRAPH to verify that the new distributor corrected
the spark knock condition.
c. Do not disassemble or rebuild the old distributor.
d. Return the distributor with the "before and after" graphs to the Warranty Parts Return Center.

If your voltmeter has a high impedance, it will not draw enough current to show a voltage drop
when testing TFI power circuits for resistive connections. To assure an accurate test, attach a test
light between the circuit being tested and ground as shown. The light will draw current through the
connection and allow measurement of the voltage drop so a resistive connection can be identified.
IMPORTANT Do not use a test light while monitoring the PIP or SPOUT signal. The test light draws
more current than the signal circuit can supply. The test light should be used only on power circuits.

Ignition Control Module: Description and Operation
Thick Film Ignition Module
The TFI IV ignition module, Fig. 14, has six connector pins at the wiring harness that supplies the
following signals:
Run Crank (start) Tach (coil) PIP (crankshaft position to ECA) Spark output (SPOUT from ECA)
Internal ground from the ECA to the distributor
Ignition System
The TFI IV module supplies the spark to the distributor through the ignition coil and calculates the
duration. It receives its control signal from the ECA (SPOUT) Fig. 29.
NOTE: Some later models use a remote module (Closed Bowl Distributors/CBD). It is located in the
engine compartment (Refer to "COMPONENT LOCATIONS"). The operation is essentially the
same with the exception of the CBD has a wiring harness between the ignition module and the
distributor.

Hall Effect Sensor: Description and Operation
Profile Ignition Pickup
The PIP signal is created in the Hall Effect and Stator assembly and indicates crankshaft position
and engine RPM Fig. 21. The PIP signal is fed to both the TFI module and the ECA.
PIP Sensor
COMPONENTS The Hall Effect device is made up of a voltage regulator, a Hall voltage generator,
Darlington amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and an open collector output stage integrated in a single
monolithic silicon chip Fig. 22. A signal is produced when a ferrous material is passed through the
opening and the flux lines decrease. The Hall generator (Hall device) sends a sine wave signal to
the Darlington amplifier. The Darlington amplifier inverts the signal. When the signal is low the
output is high. When the signal is high the output is low. This output then goes to the Schmitt
trigger. The Schmitt trigger shapes the signal into a square wave (digital high) signal.
Ford E 150 Van Workshop Manual (V8-302 5.0L (1985))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Sensors and Switches - Ignition System > Hall
Effect Sensor, Ignition > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 4111
PIP Signal Operation
OPERATION The output signal to the Darlington amplifier is high when the window (on the
armature) allows the magnetic field to reach the Hall device (switch off) Fig. 23. When the TAB
shunts the magnetic field (closes) away from the Hall device the signal is low to the Darlington
amplifier (switch on).
Hall Effect Sensor
In other words when one of the windows or openings is in the gap between the Hall device and the
permanent magnet, the field stays strong and the voltage is high since the magnetic path is
complete from the magnet, through the Hall device, and back to the magnet. In this case the switch
is off and the Hall Effect does not send a signal. When the TAB enters the gap, the armature cuts
off the magnetic path to the Hall device and its voltage drops. In this case the switch is on and the
Hall Effect device sends a signal. The signal is switched On and Off as long as the armature is
rotating (distributor is turning) and opening and closing the magnetic path. This is the signal used
by the ECA to interpret crankshaft position and engine RPM. The signal can also be used by the
TFI module if the SPOUT signal from the ECA is lost.

Signature PIP
SIGNATURE PIP Some Electronic Engine Control (EEC) vehicles are equipped with a signature
profile ignition pickup signal. The regular type armature used for the PIP signal has the same size
tabs and windows. In a signature PIP signal armature, one of the tabs is narrower than the others
Fig. 25. The narrower tab provides a different signal to the ECA when it passes through the Hall
Effect switch. When the ECA sees the narrow tab it knows when to properly pulse the fuel injectors.
This system is used on cars and trucks where the ECA needs to know when to pulse certain
injectors. For example, on sequential electronic fuel injection (SEFI) systems, each injector is
pulsed to coincide with its intake valve opening. With the signature PIP, the ECA knows when the
No. 1 cylinder needs to be supplied with fuel.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
Knock Sensor
The knock sensor, Fig. 11, is a piezo-electric accelerator accelerometer with the sensor designed
to resonate at approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency.. The sensor uses
the resonant frequency to mechanically amplify the engine knock frequency (5-6 KHz).
This method allows relatively large signals to be achieved without electrical amplification. The
sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two-pin integral connector.

equivalent. Twist the boot until it loosens and then pull it off the spark plug. Do not pull on the wire,
as the connection may become damaged.
- Any wire damaged must be replaced. Each original spark plug wire is numbered for the cylinder to
which it is designated. If wires are not numbered, each wire should be numbered as to the plug
from which it was removed.
- Clean the area around each spark plug port with compressed air.
- Using the proper size spark plug socket remove the spark plugs.
INSTALLATION
Check the gap on each new spark plug and set to specification. See: Specifications
- Install each spark plug and tighten to 9-20 Nm (7-15 ft-lbs).
Cylinder Numbering And Distributor Location
Location On Distributor
- Coat the inside of each spark plug boot with silicone dielectric compound. Connect each spark
plug wire to the plug from which it was removed. Be sure each wire is fully depressed on each plug
and molded boot is firmly in place.

Diagnostic Procedure
Prior to torque converter replacement, all diagnostic procedures must be followed. This is to
prevent the unnecessary replacement of good torque converters. Only after a complete diagnostic
evaluation can the decision be made to replace the torque converter.
The normal diagnostic procedure is as follows:
1. Preliminary inspection.
2. Know and understand the customers concern.
3. Verify the concern:
- Perform the Torque Converter Clutch Operation Test
4. Perform diagnostic procedures:
a. Run On-Board Diagnostics
- Repair all non-transmission-related Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTCs) first.
- Repair all transmission DTCs.
- Rerun On-Board Diagnostic to verify repair.
b. Perform Line Pressure Test
c. Perform Stall Speed Test
d. Diagnosis by Symptom Routines - Use the index to locate the appropriate routine that best
describes the symptom(s). The routine will list all possible components that may cause or
contribute to the symptom. Check each component listed, diagnose and service as required, before
servicing the torque converter.
Replacement
The torque converter must be replaced if one or more of the following statements are true:
^ A torque converter malfunction has been determined based on completed diagnostic procedures
^ A converter stud(s), impeller hub or bushing is damaged
^ If there is discoloration of the torque converter (due to overheating)
^ The torque converter is found to be out of specification when performing the following checks (as
applicable):
1. Torque Converter One-way Clutch Check
2. End Play Check
3. Stator-to-Turbine Interference Check
4. Converter Leakage Check
5. Stator-to-Impeller Interference Check
^ If there is evidence of transmission assembly or fluid contamination due to the following failure
modes:
Torque converter Replacement Policy Failure Modes Major metallic failure
Multiple clutches or clutch plate failures

procedure.
2. All coolers (in-tank and auxiliary) must be thoroughly cleaned by Back and Forward Flushing
using Service Manual procedure.
3. All Cooler By-Pass Valves (CBV), it equipped, must be removed and thoroughly cleaned using
Service Manual procedures. Replace rubber coated sealing washers prior to reinstalling CBV.
Replace CBV if damaged or plugged.
4. Perform Transmission Cooler Flow Test - If the Transmission Cooling System fails the Flow
Test, the coolers, CBVs or lines must be replaced. If the coolers are to be replaced, use only
factory approved service parts.
If the torque converter is not being replaced, the following actions must take place:
1. The torque convener must be thoroughly cleaned:
a. Torque converters with drain plugs can be cleaned using the Rotunda Torque Converter Cleaner
Follow the instructions included with the equipment.
b. Torque converters without drain plugs can be cleaned by hand. Partially fill the converter using

Figure 12 - Front Pump Seal
Transmission fluid leaks at the front pump seal in vehicles equipped with an AOD transmission built
prior to October 1, 1985 may be caused by a variation in location of the fluid drainback hole at the
pump allowing fluid to leak around the seal. If the drainback hole bridges across the outer edge of
the pump seal, the seal may collapse in the hole causing a leak past the outside diameter of the
seal (Figure 12).
1. Remove the front pump seal using procedures outlined in Section l7-20-34 of the 1985 Car Shop

2. Check the relationship of the drainback hole at the pump body to the sealing face of the seal
(Figure 12). If the hole bridges the seal metal face, thoroughly clean and dry the pump body seal
mating surface with spot remover (B7A-19521-A).
Figure 14 - Front Pump Seal - Outside Diameter Metal Surface
3. Obtain a new seal (C2AZ-7A248-A) and clean any oil that may be on the metal surface. Apply
silicone sealant (E3AZ-19562-A) in a continuous 1/16" to 1/8" diameter bead to the outside
diameter metal surface of the seal (Figure 14, Step 1). Distribute the bead of sealant into a thin film
as shown.
NOTE: The silicone sealant is distributed in a cartridge tube. The nozzle should be cut to permit a
flow of sealant 1/16" to 1/8" in diameter. Do not apply more than a 1/8" bead as the drainback hole
could become plugged.
4. Apply a 1/16" to 1/8" diameter bead of sealant in the corner of the pocket of the pump body seal
mating surface (Figure 14, Step 2).
NOTE: The bead must be adequate across the drainback hole but not plug the hole. If the hole is
blocked, drainback behind the seal will not be provided and leakage could still occur.

Unusually firm or harsh and/or delayed shifts may be experienced on some of the subject vehicles.
Light trucks, vans and Broncos with the 5.0L EFI engine and the AOD transmission may have TV
pressure set near or above the TV pressure specification of 35 psi and experience harsh and/or
delayed shifts. It has been determined that on a customer concern basis, the TV pressure may be
set lower to eliminate the concerns without affecting the transmission durability.
Following the procedure (TV Control Pressure Check and Adjustment Procedure with Engine ON)
detailed in Section 17-20 of the Light Truck Shop Manual, reset the TV pressure to 29 psi with the
shift selector in Neutral. This will result in a TV pressure of approximately 31 psi when the shift
selector is moved to a forward gear ((D) or D). This is 4 psi lower than the 35 psi previously
specified as being optimum in a forward gear.

The emission maintenance warning system functions with two microprocessor modules. One
module is the inferred mileage sensor (IMS) and the other is the emission maintenance warning
(EMW) module. The IMS module is not part of the emission light circuit. The IMS module sends a
signal to the engine control assembly (ECA) at a predetermined time which then automatically
makes appropriate internal emission control adjustments.
The EMW module is a timing device that turns the "EMISSIONS" light on at approximately 60,000
miles, indicating required emission system maintenance. 1985 light trucks built prior to January
1985 have a non-resetable EMW module and require part replacement if the "EMISSIONS" light
stays on. Later vehicles are equipped with a resetable EMW module and can be reset as described
in the 1985 Car/LightTruck EngineElectrical-Emissions Shop Manual, page 18-6. An additional
EMW module is available and is used only for vehicles with approximately 30,000 miles. This
module will ensure that the "EMISSIONS" light will still be illuminated as required at 60,000 miles.
Locations for the EMW/IMS modules are as follows:
Model Location
F Series Left side of steering column on instruEconoline ment panel support.
Bronco
Aerostar Left side of steering column mounted on the EEC-IV processor bracket.
Ranger Behind and above the glove box.
Bronco II Mounted on the instrument panel. (May require glove box removal.)
The IMS and EMW modules are located side by side. The EMW module is the only part that
normally requires replacement. It can be identified by a "RESET" sticker and brown plastic housing.
The IMS module is black in color and has no stickers.
Figure 13 - Module Flange
Installation Note
E/F Series and Bronco access is limited. Installing a new module may require slotting of the upper
mounting hole on the module flange (see Figure 13). This allows starting of the upper screw in the
instrument panel support so the module can then be slid under the screw head before tightening.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to include the 1982-1987 Continental and the
1982-1990 Town Car.
ISSUE: An unusual "metal-to-metal" noise from the engine may be caused by the flexing of the
torque converter. The flexing condition causes an interference between the torque converter and
flywheel bolts. The interference can cause the thrust bearing and the crankshaft to wear
prematurely and eventually fail.
ACTION: Install six (6) new flywheel bolts with reduced head height to provide additional clearance.
Refer to the appropriate Shop Manual, 5.0L Engine Section, for service details.
NOTE: WHEN A CRANKSHAFT IS REPLACED DUE TO THRUST BEARING FAILURE, INSTALL
A NEW CRANKSHAFT THAT HAS A REVISED PILOT HOLE. THIS WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
CLEARANCE FOR THE TOROUE CONVERTER. USE NEW FLYWHEEL BOLTS.

Figure 8
When overhauling a low mileage AOD transmission with evidence of overheating, inspect the
converter drainback cross hole passage in the pump stator support for contamination, or a spring
compressed solid which would indicate a stuck open check ball. (See Figure 8, Hole No. 13.)
NOTE: A low mileage vehicle is considered to have approximately 5,000 miles or less on the
odometer.
The converter drainback valve in Hole No. 12 of the pump stator support consists of a spring and a
ball with an aluminum ball plug pressed in the passage. If contamination can be seen in the
exposed cross hole passage area or if the spring is compressed solid which would indicate a stuck
open check ball (can be seen when the stator support is turned over-refer to Figure 8, Hole No.
13), then follow the procedure included here for removal and cleaning of the converter drainback
valve. In addition, the converter will have to be replaced.
Converter Drainback Check Valve Removal and Cleaning Procedure
1. To remove the drainback valve (check ball and spring) in Hole No. 12, remove the aluminum ball
plug. This can be done by using a suitable punch inserted into the cross Hole No. 13. (See Figure
8.) Discard the aluminum ball plug and the spring. The check ball must be retained for
reinstallation.

Figure 8
When overhauling a low mileage AOD transmission with evidence of overheating, inspect the
converter drainback cross hole passage in the pump stator support for contamination, or a spring
compressed solid which would indicate a stuck open check ball. (See Figure 8, Hole No. 13.)
NOTE: A low mileage vehicle is considered to have approximately 5,000 miles or less on the
odometer.
The converter drainback valve in Hole No. 12 of the pump stator support consists of a spring and a
ball with an aluminum ball plug pressed in the passage. If contamination can be seen in the
exposed cross hole passage area or if the spring is compressed solid which would indicate a stuck
open check ball (can be seen when the stator support is turned over-refer to Figure 8, Hole No.
13), then follow the procedure included here for removal and cleaning of the converter drainback
valve. In addition, the converter will have to be replaced.
Converter Drainback Check Valve Removal and Cleaning Procedure
1. To remove the drainback valve (check ball and spring) in Hole No. 12, remove the aluminum ball
plug. This can be done by using a suitable punch inserted into the cross Hole No. 13. (See Figure
8.) Discard the aluminum ball plug and the spring. The check ball must be retained for
reinstallation.

AIR CONDITIONING - INOPERATIVE BLOWER MOTOR - DAMAGED FUSE OR FUSE HOLDER
LIGHT TRUCK ALL 1985 AND PRIOR ECONOLINES
When operating the A/C system for long periods of time with the blower motor set on high, the
solder at the end of the A/C fuse melts with the additional loss of holder clip retention due to the
heat build-up. A revised fuse holder is released to resolve the subject concern.
The following procedure should be performed:
1. Check fuse for damage (solder melted at end of fuse).
2. Check fuse holder for proper retention of fuse (loss of fuse holder clip retention due to heat
build-up).
3. If the fuse or fuse holder show no heat damage perform normal diagnostic procedures for
inoperative A/C blower motor. If the fuse or fuse holder is found to be damaged as described in
Steps 1 and 2 continue with Step 4.
4. Disconnect battery ground cable.
5. Remove two fuse panel retaining screws and turn fuse panel to expose back side of panel.
6. Locate the two orange wires (Circuit 181) leading to the A/C fuse holder. Cut both wires as close
to the fuse panel as possible and remove the fuse holders from the fuse panel.
7. Install in-line fuse holder E5FZ-14517-A using 30 amp fuse D9ZZ-14526-G (green).

Description and Operation
Clutch Disc: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The purpose of the clutch is to connect and disconnect a manually operated transmission and the
remainder of the power-transmission system from the engine. This permits starting and stopping
the vehicle, shifting and changing speeds that correspond to the engine speed through gear
reductions for both forward and reverse directions.
The clutch consists of a driven plate (clutch disc) splined for the input shaft of the transmission and
the clutch housing (pressure plate).
This forms a continuous system by which rotation of the engine is connected to the transmission by
solid member when engaged (clutch assembly). For power at the output shaft of the transmission
or rear wheel rotation (forward or reverse), the driven plate is a metal disc, faced on both sides with
woven friction materials. The pressure plate is a metal member bolted on the flywheel which
houses the driven plate held in position by the transmission input shaft. A clutch sleeve mounted
over the input shaft of the transmission carries a release bearing that is pressed against the fingers
of the clutch that pushes it away from the driven plate causing disengagement-breaking the
connection between the engine (flywheel) and the clutch. Reverse action or the release of the
bearing engages the clutch. The release lever is actuated by a hydraulic system. Other internal
clutch parts are a pilot bearing mounted in the crankshaft which supports the end of the input shaft.
Bearings are designed for long life and require no lubrication.

Carrier Side Gears: Testing and Inspection
Examine drive pinion and ring gear teeth for scoring or signs of excessive wear. Worn gears cannot
be rebuilt to correct a noisy condition. Gear scoring and flaking are the result of excessive shock
loading or the use of improper lubricant. Scored gears cannot be reused.
Examine teeth and thrust surfaces of differential gears. Wear on hub of differential side gears may
cause a chucking noise known as chuckle, when the vehicle is operated at low speeds. Wear of
splines, thrust surfaces or thrust washers may contribute to excessive drive line backlash.

Differential Case: Testing and Inspection
Ensure that hubs where bearings mount are smooth. Check fit of differential gears in the
counterbores. Carefully examine thrust washers, which may be damaged when bearings are
removed. If differential bearing assemblies do not seat firmly on hubs, failure is certain. Ensure that
mating surfaces of the two parts of case and the face of the ring gear attaching flange are smooth
and free from nicks and burrs.

Differential Case: Adjustments
1. Attach ring gear to the differential case using new bolts. Torque bolts alternately and evenly to
50---60 ft. lbs. on except model 60 monobeam axle or 100-120 ft. lbs on model 60 monobeam axle.
2. Clean trunnions on the differential and install the master differential bearings on to differential
case. Remove all burrs and nicks from hubs so master bearings rotate freely.
3. Place differential case into carrier (without pinion). The differential case should move freely in the
carrier assembly. Position a suitable dial indicator against differential case flanges. Locate tip of the
indicator on the flat surface of one ring gear bolt. Force the differential case toward the dial
indicator as far as possible and zero dial indicator with force still applied. Dial indicator should have
a minimum of .200 inch travel. Force differential case away from the dial indicator as far as it will
go. Repeat this procedure until the same reading is obtained. Record dial indicator reading. This
reading indicates the amount of shims needed behind the differential side bearings to take up total
clearance between the differential bearing and case. This reading will be used during pinion and
ring gear backlash adjustment.
4. Remove differential case from the carrier. Do not remove the master differential bearings at this
time.

Differential Case: Service and Repair
For limited slip & locking differential assemblies, refer to ``Ford Drive Axle w/Integral Carrier''
section for assembly procedures. For adjustment procedures on these differentials, refer to step 9
in this procedure.
1. Install differential case in a vise, then apply suitable lubricant to side gear thrust washers and to
hubs and thrust face of the new side gears.
2. Assemble both side gears and apply suitable lubricant to the spherical washers and pinion mate
gears, then assemble pinion mate gears and washers.
3. Install both side gears and thrust washers, then the pinion mate gears and washers to hold side
gears in position.
4. Rotate side gears until holes of washers and pinion gears line up with holes of the case. If gears
cannot be rotated by hand, install one of the axle shafts into the side gear spline and use a pipe
wrench to turn shaft.
5. Line up gear holes with those of the differential case using a suitable drift, then install pinion
mate shaft. Ensure lock pin hole of shaft is lined up with lock pin hole of case.
6. Install lock pin, then peen metal of case over pin to lock in position. The semi-float shaft riding
bearing design uses a locking pin that is
installed using a suitable wrench. Use a new lock pin and assemble finger tight. This prevents
differential side gears and differential pinion mate gears from rotating in the case and dropping out
when servicing the carrier section. A new lock pin should be installed after assembling the axle
shafts.
7. Install ring gear to case, then the ring gear attaching screws. Torque ring gear attaching screws
alternately to approximately 115 ft. lbs. on except model 30 axle or 45---60 ft. lbs on model 30 axle.
8. Install differential bearings onto case using suitable tool.
9. Install differential case assembly into carrier, less pinion, then mount suitable dial indicator on
face of housing.
10. Locate tip of indicator on flat surface of one of the ring gear screw spot faces, then force
differential assembly as far as possible in the direction towards the indicator. With force still
applied, set indicator at zero.
11. Force differential assembly as far as it will go in the opposite direction. Repeat this step until
the same reading is obtained, then record this reading.
This reading will be the total amount of shims required, less preload, and will be calculated later
during assembly.
12. Remove indicator and differential assembly from housing. Do not remove bearings from
differential case at this time.

1. Remove axle cover, Figs. 1 through 4, then wipe lubricant from internal working parts and
visually inspect parts for wear or damage.
2. Rotate gears to check for any roughness, which indicates damaged bearings or gears.
3. Check ring gear teeth for signs of scoring, abnormal wear, nicks or chips.
4. On models with 8.8 or 10.25 inch ring gear, proceed as follows:
a. Using dial indicator, check ring gear backlash and ring gear back face runout. Backlash should
be .008---.015 inch and back face runout
should be under .004 inch.
b. Do not use contact pattern as a guide to check for noise. Check for proper gear set assembly
using pinion depth gauge tool to determine
correct pinion shim required to ensure acceptable running condition.
5. On models with 6 3/4 or 7 1/2 inch ring gear, test ring gear runout as follows:
a. Install suitable dial indicator and zero indicator, then rotate ring gear and record reading. b. If
reading exceeds .003 inch, check for improper torque of ring gear bolts or dirt between ring and
case.
6. If reading still exceeds .003 inch after step 5b, diagnose ring gear runout as follows:
a. Remove ring gear. 1987 Bronco II models with anti-lock brakes use an exciter ring located on
the ring gear assembly. Removal of the exciter
ring is not necessary when removing ring gear on this model.
b. On models with 6 3/4 inch ring gear, install left case on right and tap them together, then place
differential cups on differential bearing cone
and roller.
c. On all models, place differential assembly in carrier casting. On models with 6 3/4 inch ring gear,
two bolts and nuts must be installed to
hold case halves together.
d. Install .265 inch shim on left side as guide. e. Install left bearing cap and tighten bolts finger tight.
f.
Install progressively larger shims on right side until largest shim selected can be assembled with a
slight drag feel. Apply pressure toward left side to ensure that bearing cup is seated.
g. Install right side bearing cap and torque differential bearing cap bolts to 70---80 ft. lbs., then
rotate assembly to ensure free rotation. h. Check runout of differential case flange with dial
indicator. If runout is within .003 inch, install new ring and pinion gear. If runout exceeds
specifications, trouble is due to either a damaged case or worn bearings.
i. Remove differential case from carrier and the differential bearings from case.
j. Install new differential bearings on case hubs and install differential assembly in carrier less ring
gear.
k. Check case runout. If runout is within .003 inch, use new bearings for reassembly. If runout is
still excessive, case is damaged and must be
replaced.
7. Remove axle shafts.
8. Mark relationship of driveshaft end yoke and axle companion flange for proper assembly, then
disconnect driveshaft at rear axle universal joint.
9. Install inch pound torque wrench on pinion nut and record torque required to maintain rotation of
pinion through several turns.
10. Using suitable tools, hold companion flange and remove pinion nut.
11. Clean area around oil seal and place drain pan under seal.
12. Mark relationship of companion flange to pinion shaft for proper assembly, then, using suitable
puller, remove companion flange.
13. Using suitable tool, remove pinion oil seal.
14. Mark one differential bearing cap to ensure proper positioning of caps during assembly. Do not
interchange left and right bearing caps.
15. Loosen differential bearing cap bolts and bearing caps, noting direction of triangles on bearing
caps for proper assembly.
16. Pry differential case, bearing cups and shims out until they are loose in bearing caps, then
remove bearing caps and pry differential assembly from carrier. When using pry bar, place a wood
block between pry bar and axle housing to protect casting face from damage.
17. Using suitable mallet, drive pinion out of front bearing cone and remove through rear of carrier
casting.
18. Using suitable tools, remove pinion rear cone and roller bearing assembly, then, using
micrometer, measure and record thickness of shim found under bearing cone.
19. Remove damaged pinion bearing cups from carrier by tapping alternately with brass drift on
opposite sides of cups to prevent cups from cocking in casting.

Pinion Bearing: Testing and Inspection Companion Flange
Be sure that flat machined surfaces and the bearing cup sockets of the flange have not been
damaged in removing driveshaft or in removing flange from axle. The edge of the flange that
contacts the oil slinger or pinion front bearing must be smooth. Roughness aggravates backlash
noises and causes wear on the slinger with a resultant loss in drive pinion bearing preload. The
seal surface should be perfectly smooth or leakage will result.

Backlash & Differential Bearing Preload Adjustment
1. Remove adjusting nut locks and loosen differential bearing cap bolts, then torque cap bolts to
approximately 20 ft. lbs. Left adjusting nut is on ring gear side of carrier and right adjusting nut is on
pinion side.
2. Loosen right nut until it is away from cup and tighten left nut until ring gear is just forced into
position with zero backlash, then rotate pinion several revolutions to ensure that no binding is
evident.
3. Check right nut to ensure that it is still loose, then install dial indicator.
4. Tighten right nut until it just contacts bearing cup, then set dial indicator to zero and apply
pressure to bearings by tightening right nut until indicator reads .008---.012 inch.
5. Turn pinion gear several times in each direction to seat bearings in cups and ensure that no
binding is evident, then torque bearing caps to 70---80 ft. lbs.
6. Measure backlash on several teeth around ring gear.
7. If backlash varies by more than .004 inch between any two teeth, loosen one adjusting nut and
tighten opposite nut an equal amount to move ring gear away from or toward pinion. Tightening left
nut moves ring gear into pinion to decrease backlash while tightening right nut moves ring gear
away. When moving adjusting nuts, final movement should always be made in a tightening
direction. Assuming left nut had to be loosened one notch, loosen nut two notches, then tighten
one notch.
8. Ensure that case spread remains within specifications as previously described.
9. Perform teeth pattern check as described under ``General Axle Service.'' If backlash is correct
and gross pattern error results, recheck pinion shim selection.

Pinion Gear: Testing and Inspection
Examine drive pinion and ring gear teeth for scoring or signs of excessive wear. Worn gears cannot
be rebuilt to correct a noisy condition. Gear scoring and flaking are the result of excessive shock
loading or the use of improper lubricant. Scored gears cannot be reused.
Examine teeth and thrust surfaces of differential gears. Wear on hub of differential side gears may
cause a chucking noise known as chuckle, when the vehicle is operated at low speeds. Wear of
splines, thrust surfaces or thrust washers may contribute to excessive drive line backlash.

4. Using a feeler gauge tool or shims, select the thickest shim that will enter between the gauge
tube and gauge block. Insert feeler gauge directly along the gauge block to ensure a correct
reading. If the service pinion gear is marked with a plus (+) reading, this amount should be
subtracted from the thickness dimension obtained in step 4. If the service pinion gear is marked
with a minus ( - ) reading, this amount should be added to the thickness dimension obtained in step
4.
5. Remove inner pinion bearing cup and install the correct number of shims in the carrier bore.
6. Install bearing cup and oil slinger, if equipped, on the pinion, then press on bearing using a
suitable tool. If a baffle or slinger is used, replace with a new one during assembly.

Pinion Gear: Adjustments Drive Pinion Depth of Mesh Setting
Fig. 3 Shim setting chart
Ring gears and pinions are supplied in matched sets only. Matched numbers on both the pinion
and ring gear are etched for verification. On the face of each pinion there is etched either a plus or
a minus number, or ``0,'' which indicates the best running position for each particular gear set. This
dimension is controlled by shimming behind the inner pinion bearing cup. A pinion etched with a +3
would require .003 inch less shims that a pinion etched ``0.'' A pinion etched - 3 would require .003
inch more shims than a pinion etched ``0.'' If the etched figure is ``0'' the shim pack will remain the
same. Refer to chart, Fig. 3. Shims are available in thicknesses of .003 inch, .005 inch, .010 inch
and .030 inch.
If old ring and pinion set is to be reused, measure the old shim pack and build a new shim pack to
the same dimension. If a baffle is used in the axle assembly, it is considered a part of the shim
pack. Measure each shim separately with a micrometer and add together to get the total shim pack
thickness from the original build up.
If a new gear set is being used, notice the (+) or ( - ) etching on both the new and old pinion and
adjust thickness of new shim pack to compensate for the difference of these two figures. For
example, if the old pinion reads +2 and the new pinion is - 2, add .004 inch shims to the original
shim pack.

same. Refer to chart, Fig. 3. Shims are available in thicknesses of .003 inch, .005 inch, .010 inch
and .030 inch.
If old ring and pinion set is to be reused, measure the old shim pack and build a new shim pack to
the same dimension. If a baffle is used in the axle assembly, it is considered a part of the shim
pack. Measure each shim separately with a micrometer and add together to get the total shim pack
thickness from the original build up.
If a new gear set is being used, notice the (+) or ( - ) etching on both the new and old pinion and
adjust thickness of new shim pack to compensate for the difference of these two figures. For
example, if the old pinion reads +2 and the new pinion is - 2, add .004 inch shims to the original
shim pack.

Ring Gear: Testing and Inspection Gears
Examine drive pinion and ring gear teeth for scoring or signs of excessive wear. Worn gears cannot
be rebuilt to correct a noisy condition. Gear scoring and flaking are the result of excessive shock
loading or the use of improper lubricant. Scored gears cannot be reused.
Examine teeth and thrust surfaces of differential gears. Wear on hub of differential side gears may
cause a chucking noise known as chuckle, when the vehicle is operated at low speeds. Wear of
splines, thrust surfaces or thrust washers may contribute to excessive drive line backlash.

Ring Gear: Testing and Inspection Runout
1987 models equipped with anti-lock brakes incorporate a multi-tooth exciter ring which is pressed
on the differential case located behind the ring gear assembly. Do not remove exciter ring to
measure ring gear runout. A space is provided between the exciter ring and ring gear to measure
ring gear runout.
If ring gear runout during disassembly exceeded specifications, the condition may be caused by a
warped gear, or distorted or damaged case or foreign matter trapped between differential case
halves or under ring gears.
To determine cause of excessive runout, assemble differential case without ring gear, then check
as described below.
Install case in differential carrier without ring gear attached. Install bearing caps and adjuster nuts
and tighten cap bolts to specifications. Tighten adjuster nuts to center differential side bearing.
Mount a dial indicator and check runout of case flange and ring gear pilot. If runout at either point is
excessive, install a new differential case. If runout is within specification, the ring gear is out of
specification. When performing this check on a locking differential case the four compression
springs within the case should be temporarily removed. This will prevent a false runout reading due
to distortion caused by the springs forcing the case apart.

TRUCK:
1983-87 E-150
ISSUE: "Body boom" and driveline vibration between the speeds of 35 and 65 mph (56 and 105
km/h) may be caused by one or more vehicle component areas. The vibration and boom are
usually more noticeable when the AOD transmission is operating in overdrive, but may also occur
when the AOD transmission is operating in third gear. In most cases there is more than one factor
causing the NVH concern.
ACTION: To correct this, use the following diagnostic procedures and the 1987 Light Truck Shop
Manual, Section 18-01 to determine which vehicle components require attention. The diagnostic
procedures should be followed in the order in which they appear in this TSB article. After the
completion of each section the vehicle should be road tested to determine if the condition has been
corrected. If the condition is still present, proceed to the next section. An Econoline NVH diagnostic
chart is on page 52 of this TSB to assist in concern identification.
Wheels & Tires, Chassis Groundout & Exhaust System
Wheels and Tires
1. Make sure the front wheels are centered on the rotor hub pilot and the rear wheels are centered
on the rear drum pilot by using the Rotunda Runout Gauge, 007-00014 to check wheel and tire
assembly runout.
NOTE: Special attention should be given to vehicles equipped with aftermarket aluminum wheels.
2. If incorrect wheel and tire assembly runout is found, loosen the lug nuts, rotate the wheel and tire
assembly and carefully retighten the lug nuts finger tight.
3. Recheck the wheel and tire assembly runout while rotating the wheel and tire assembly. If the
runout is okay, torque the lug nuts to 100 ft.lbs. (136 N-m). If runout is still incorrect, service as
required.
Body to Chassis Groundout
1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist and make sure the mounting bolts from aftermarket seats and safety
belt anchors are not grounded to the frame, service as required.
2. Check to make sure the running boards are not grounded to the frame, service as required.
3. Make sure the exhaust system is not grounded to the frame, service as required.
Exhaust System
1. Check to make sure an exhaust bind-up condition is not present by using the following steps:
a. Road test the vehicle to determine if a "drone" noise is present each time the transmission shifts
from one gear to the next between 0 and 65 MPH (0 and 105 km/h).
b. If "drone" noise is present, apply the parking brake, depress the brake pedal and brake torque
engine to simulate condition. The "drone" should appear around 1800 to 2000 RPM.
c. Remove the exhaust system hanger in front and behind the muffler.
d. Repeat Step b. If "drone" is gone, loosen the "Y" pipe at the exhaust manifold and the muffler.
e. Reposition the exhaust system upward to eliminate stress on the two (2) hangers. Retighten the
"Y" pipe to specification.
NOTE: On 1987 vehicles, remove the front hanger bracket from the cross member. Knock out the
existing retainer bolts from the hanger. Reinstall the bracket with longer bolts and add 1/4" to 1/2"
stack of washers to each bolt between the bracket and cross member. This will make sure the
rubber isolator is in a neutral position.

88 > Vehicle - Body Boom Between 35 and 65 MPH > Page 4494
1. Make sure the driveshaft runout does not exceed .035". Refer to the Light Truck Shop Manual,
Section 18-01-8.
2. If runout exceeds .035", install a new driveshaft. Refer to the driveshaft application chart on page
49 of this TSB for the correct service part number.
3. Make sure the drive shaft U-joints are not worn. Check for a hard to move U-joint or a U-joint that
catches when moved from side to side.
NOTE: If it is necessary to replace a U-joint, refer to the following "Road Test" procedure to make
sure a driveshaft imbalance is not caused by the U-joint replacement.
4. If the U-joints are okay, mark the driveshaft-to-axle flange with paint to aid in re-indexing.
5. Remove the driveshaft from the axle flange and re-index 180 degrees.
6. Road test the vehicle.
NOTE: If the noise and vibration are still present or not acceptable, proceed to the "Road Test"
procedure below.
Road Test Procedure
1. Select a road where the vehicle can be safely operated at speeds from 25 to 65 MPH (40 to 105
km/h).
2. Slowly accelerate from 25 to 65 MPH (40 to 105 km/h) and observe the speed where the noise
and vibration occur. Carefully watch the 35 to 45 MPH (56 to 72 km/h) range.
3. Shift into neutral at 65 MPH (105 km/h) and coast down to 25 MPH (40 km/h) noting at what
speed the noise and vibration occur.
^ If the noise and vibration were not present during coast down, the NVH concern is not with an
imbalanced driveshaft.
^ Vibrations during a neutral coastdown from 65 to 45 MPH (105 to 72 km/h) indicate an
imbalanced driveshaft and/or imbalanced wheel and tire assemblies.
^ Vibrations from 35 to 45 MPH (56 to 72 km/h) indicate an imbalanced driveshaft.
^ Vibration from improperly balanced wheel and tire assemblies are normally FELT in the steering
wheel and seats and do not have body "boom" noise associated with it. If this is the case, balance
all four (4) wheel and tire assemblies.

88 > Vehicle - Body Boom Between 35 and 65 MPH > Page 4495
^ An improperly balanced driveshaft will usually have an audible noise or body "boom" noise. If this
is the case, balance or replace the driveshaft.
Driveshaft Balance & Rear Springs & Axle Information
Driveshaft Balance
1. Raise the vehicle on a twin post hoist.
2. Start the engine, engage the transmission and run up to vibration speed.
NOTE: Observe the level of vibration in the seat and steering wheel.
3. Have an assistant install one hose clamp at the rear of the driveshaft. Position the clamp with the
screw head lined up with the existing balance weights on the driveshaft.
4. Start engine and run up to vibration speed. If the vibration got worse, rotate the clamp 180
degrees. Continue the procedure of rotating at 90 degree increments until all four (4) quadrants
have been evaluated. Choose the best position and tighten clamp.
5. If vibration is still present, install a second clamp in the same position as the one installed in Step
4.
6. If vibration increases, scribe a line on the driveshaft at the screwhead locations.
7. Rotate one (1) clamp a 1/2" clockwise and the other 1/2" counterclockwise. Move the clamps
further apart or closer together as required to "FINE TUNE" the system.
Rear Springs
1. Make sure rear springs are the six leaf design.
2. If not, install two (2) new six leaf springs, (D6UZ-5560-D).
Rear Axle
1. If the condition is still present after all the above sections have been completed, road test the
vehicle to determine if the correct driveline angle is present or a new ring and pinion assembly is
required.
2. Drive vehicle about 10-12 miles (16-19 kilometers).
3. With the transmission in overdrive for AOD transmission or in drive for C6 transmissions,
accelerate to 50 MPH (80 km/h). Slowly increase the speed to 65 MPH (105 km/h) noting at what
speed the noise and vibration occur.
4. Shift into neutral and coast down to 50 MPH (80 km/h). Observe whether or "boom" noise is
present and at what speed.
5. If "boom" is only present in drive, measure the angle between the driveshaft and axle. If greater
than 2 degrees, shim the axle at the spring seats to achieve a 1 degree angle.
6. Road test the vehicle. If the "boom" is still present, install a special "low" pitch line runout (PLRO)
rear axle ring and pinion set. Refer to the following ring and pinion application chart.
RING AND PINION APPLICATION CHART

LIGHT TRUCK: 1983-86 E-150, F-150
ISSUE: A driveline vibration and "booming" noise at 45-65 mph (72-105 km/h) with the
transmission in overdrive may be caused by the two (2) piece steel driveshaft assembly. The
affected Econolines are units built before 10/10/85 with a 138 inch wheelbase, 4.9L or 5.0L engine,
AOD transmission, and 9 inch rear axle. The affected F-Series are F-150 4 x 2 units with a 133
inch wheelbase, 5.0L engine, AOD transmission and an 8.8 inch rear axle.
ACTION: To correct this, install a new onepiece aluminum driveshaft using the following service
procedure. Refer to the driveshaft application chart on this page for the correct service part.
1. Remove the existing two (2) piece steel driveshaft.
2. Install the appropriate tool in the transmission extension housing to prevent fluid leakage.
3. Remove the driveshaft center bearing support plate by chiseling off the rivet heads. The center
bearing support plate must be removed to allow clearance for the new aluminum driveshaft.
CAUTION: DO NOT drill or use a cutting torch to remove the rivets. This could damage the
crossmember.
4. If the axle pinion flange lugs are damaged, replace the flange.
5. Lubricate the slip yoke splines with Ford Long Life Lubricant (C1AZ-19590-BA).
6. Remove the tool from the transmission extension housing.
CAUTION: Never replace a two (2) piece STEEL driveshaft with a one (1) piece STEEL driveshaft.
7. Install the slip yoke end of the new aluminum driveshaft on the transmission output shaft. Be
careful not to bottom the slip yoke on the transmission output shaft.
8. Install the aluminum driveshaft to the rear axle flange. Make sure the yellow dot on the driveshaft
and the yellow dot on the axle flange are aligned. If the yellow dots are not visible, the vehicle will
have to be test driven to determine the best position.

AEROSTAR
This article is being republished in its entirety to clarify the slip yoke application chart.
ISSUE: A "clunk" or "grunt" noise from the vehicle driveline during start-up and stopping drive
modes may be caused by engine torque preventing the slip yoke from sliding smoothly on the
transmission output shaft splines. During the same drive modes, rear suspension wrap-up
overcomes slip yoke-to-output shaft friction causing sudden slip yoke/driveshaft movement, which
results in a "clunk" or "grunt" noise. The affected vehicles are 1978-87 E-250/350 with a C6
transmission; 1981-87 F-150/350 (4x2) with a C6, NPG 435, AOD, TOD, or T18 transmission;

Manual, Section 18-01 to determine which vehicle components require attention. The diagnostic
procedures should be followed in the order in which they appear in this TSB article. After the
completion of each section the vehicle should be road tested to determine if the condition has been
corrected. If the condition is still present, proceed to the next section. An Econoline NVH diagnostic
chart is on page 52 of this TSB to assist in concern identification.
Wheels & Tires, Chassis Groundout & Exhaust System
Wheels and Tires
1. Make sure the front wheels are centered on the rotor hub pilot and the rear wheels are centered
on the rear drum pilot by using the Rotunda Runout Gauge, 007-00014 to check wheel and tire
assembly runout.
NOTE: Special attention should be given to vehicles equipped with aftermarket aluminum wheels.
2. If incorrect wheel and tire assembly runout is found, loosen the lug nuts, rotate the wheel and tire
assembly and carefully retighten the lug nuts finger tight.
3. Recheck the wheel and tire assembly runout while rotating the wheel and tire assembly. If the
runout is okay, torque the lug nuts to 100 ft.lbs. (136 N-m). If runout is still incorrect, service as
required.
Body to Chassis Groundout
1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist and make sure the mounting bolts from aftermarket seats and safety
belt anchors are not grounded to the frame, service as required.
2. Check to make sure the running boards are not grounded to the frame, service as required.
3. Make sure the exhaust system is not grounded to the frame, service as required.
Exhaust System
1. Check to make sure an exhaust bind-up condition is not present by using the following steps:
a. Road test the vehicle to determine if a "drone" noise is present each time the transmission shifts
from one gear to the next between 0 and 65 MPH (0 and 105 km/h).
b. If "drone" noise is present, apply the parking brake, depress the brake pedal and brake torque
engine to simulate condition. The "drone" should appear around 1800 to 2000 RPM.
c. Remove the exhaust system hanger in front and behind the muffler.
d. Repeat Step b. If "drone" is gone, loosen the "Y" pipe at the exhaust manifold and the muffler.
e. Reposition the exhaust system upward to eliminate stress on the two (2) hangers. Retighten the
"Y" pipe to specification.
NOTE: On 1987 vehicles, remove the front hanger bracket from the cross member. Knock out the
existing retainer bolts from the hanger. Reinstall the bracket with longer bolts and add 1/4" to 1/2"
stack of washers to each bolt between the bracket and cross member. This will make sure the
rubber isolator is in a neutral position.

Shaft: > 88717033088 > Mar > 88 > Vehicle - Body Boom Between 35 and 65 MPH > Page 4516
1. Make sure the driveshaft runout does not exceed .035". Refer to the Light Truck Shop Manual,
Section 18-01-8.
2. If runout exceeds .035", install a new driveshaft. Refer to the driveshaft application chart on page
49 of this TSB for the correct service part number.
3. Make sure the drive shaft U-joints are not worn. Check for a hard to move U-joint or a U-joint that
catches when moved from side to side.
NOTE: If it is necessary to replace a U-joint, refer to the following "Road Test" procedure to make
sure a driveshaft imbalance is not caused by the U-joint replacement.
4. If the U-joints are okay, mark the driveshaft-to-axle flange with paint to aid in re-indexing.
5. Remove the driveshaft from the axle flange and re-index 180 degrees.
6. Road test the vehicle.
NOTE: If the noise and vibration are still present or not acceptable, proceed to the "Road Test"
procedure below.
Road Test Procedure
1. Select a road where the vehicle can be safely operated at speeds from 25 to 65 MPH (40 to 105
km/h).
2. Slowly accelerate from 25 to 65 MPH (40 to 105 km/h) and observe the speed where the noise
and vibration occur. Carefully watch the 35 to 45 MPH (56 to 72 km/h) range.
3. Shift into neutral at 65 MPH (105 km/h) and coast down to 25 MPH (40 km/h) noting at what
speed the noise and vibration occur.
^ If the noise and vibration were not present during coast down, the NVH concern is not with an
imbalanced driveshaft.
^ Vibrations during a neutral coastdown from 65 to 45 MPH (105 to 72 km/h) indicate an
imbalanced driveshaft and/or imbalanced wheel and tire assemblies.
^ Vibrations from 35 to 45 MPH (56 to 72 km/h) indicate an imbalanced driveshaft.
^ Vibration from improperly balanced wheel and tire assemblies are normally FELT in the steering
wheel and seats and do not have body "boom" noise associated with it. If this is the case, balance
all four (4) wheel and tire assemblies.

^ An improperly balanced driveshaft will usually have an audible noise or body "boom" noise. If this
is the case, balance or replace the driveshaft.
Driveshaft Balance & Rear Springs & Axle Information
Driveshaft Balance
1. Raise the vehicle on a twin post hoist.
2. Start the engine, engage the transmission and run up to vibration speed.
NOTE: Observe the level of vibration in the seat and steering wheel.
3. Have an assistant install one hose clamp at the rear of the driveshaft. Position the clamp with the
screw head lined up with the existing balance weights on the driveshaft.
4. Start engine and run up to vibration speed. If the vibration got worse, rotate the clamp 180
degrees. Continue the procedure of rotating at 90 degree increments until all four (4) quadrants
have been evaluated. Choose the best position and tighten clamp.
5. If vibration is still present, install a second clamp in the same position as the one installed in Step
4.
6. If vibration increases, scribe a line on the driveshaft at the screwhead locations.
7. Rotate one (1) clamp a 1/2" clockwise and the other 1/2" counterclockwise. Move the clamps
further apart or closer together as required to "FINE TUNE" the system.
Rear Springs
1. Make sure rear springs are the six leaf design.
2. If not, install two (2) new six leaf springs, (D6UZ-5560-D).
Rear Axle
1. If the condition is still present after all the above sections have been completed, road test the
vehicle to determine if the correct driveline angle is present or a new ring and pinion assembly is
required.
2. Drive vehicle about 10-12 miles (16-19 kilometers).
3. With the transmission in overdrive for AOD transmission or in drive for C6 transmissions,
accelerate to 50 MPH (80 km/h). Slowly increase the speed to 65 MPH (105 km/h) noting at what
speed the noise and vibration occur.
4. Shift into neutral and coast down to 50 MPH (80 km/h). Observe whether or "boom" noise is
present and at what speed.
5. If "boom" is only present in drive, measure the angle between the driveshaft and axle. If greater
than 2 degrees, shim the axle at the spring seats to achieve a 1 degree angle.
6. Road test the vehicle. If the "boom" is still present, install a special "low" pitch line runout (PLRO)
rear axle ring and pinion set. Refer to the following ring and pinion application chart.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1983-86 E-150, F-150
ISSUE: A driveline vibration and "booming" noise at 45-65 mph (72-105 km/h) with the
transmission in overdrive may be caused by the two (2) piece steel driveshaft assembly. The
affected Econolines are units built before 10/10/85 with a 138 inch wheelbase, 4.9L or 5.0L engine,
AOD transmission, and 9 inch rear axle. The affected F-Series are F-150 4 x 2 units with a 133
inch wheelbase, 5.0L engine, AOD transmission and an 8.8 inch rear axle.
ACTION: To correct this, install a new onepiece aluminum driveshaft using the following service
procedure. Refer to the driveshaft application chart on this page for the correct service part.
1. Remove the existing two (2) piece steel driveshaft.
2. Install the appropriate tool in the transmission extension housing to prevent fluid leakage.
3. Remove the driveshaft center bearing support plate by chiseling off the rivet heads. The center
bearing support plate must be removed to allow clearance for the new aluminum driveshaft.
CAUTION: DO NOT drill or use a cutting torch to remove the rivets. This could damage the
crossmember.
4. If the axle pinion flange lugs are damaged, replace the flange.
5. Lubricate the slip yoke splines with Ford Long Life Lubricant (C1AZ-19590-BA).
6. Remove the tool from the transmission extension housing.
CAUTION: Never replace a two (2) piece STEEL driveshaft with a one (1) piece STEEL driveshaft.
7. Install the slip yoke end of the new aluminum driveshaft on the transmission output shaft. Be
careful not to bottom the slip yoke on the transmission output shaft.
8. Install the aluminum driveshaft to the rear axle flange. Make sure the yellow dot on the driveshaft
and the yellow dot on the axle flange are aligned. If the yellow dots are not visible, the vehicle will
have to be test driven to determine the best position.
9. Tighten the U-bolts evenly to prevent premature U-joint failure. Torque the nuts to 8-15 ft.lbs.
(11-20 N-m).

This article is being republished in its entirety to clarify the slip yoke application chart.
ISSUE: A "clunk" or "grunt" noise from the vehicle driveline during start-up and stopping drive
modes may be caused by engine torque preventing the slip yoke from sliding smoothly on the
transmission output shaft splines. During the same drive modes, rear suspension wrap-up
overcomes slip yoke-to-output shaft friction causing sudden slip yoke/driveshaft movement, which
results in a "clunk" or "grunt" noise. The affected vehicles are 1978-87 E-250/350 with a C6
transmission; 1981-87 F-150/350 (4x2) with a C6, NPG 435, AOD, TOD, or T18 transmission;

Vibration/ noise concerns involving driveshaft vibration on the subject vehicles may be solved by
replacing the standard two-piece driveshaft with a one-piece graphite driveshaft using the
procedure outlined below.
CAUTION: Never replace a two-piece driveline with a one-piece STEEL driveline as vehicle
damage may result leaving vehicle inoperative.
1. Remove the existing two-piece driveshaft from the vehicle.
2. Remove the two-piece driveshaft center bearing support plate. Rivets are to be removed by
chiseling off the heads. Drilling or the use of cutting torch may result in damage to the
crossmember.
NOTE: The support plate must be removed to prevent interference with the new driveshaft.
3. When installing the one-piece driveshaft, be sure that the yellow dots on the driveshaft and axle
flange are aligned. If the yellow dot on the axle flange is not visible, the vehicle will have to be test
driven to determine the best orientation. Tighten U-bolt nuts to 8-15 ft.lbs. Nuts must be retightened
evenly and within the specified torque to prevent premature U-joint bearing failure.
4. Test drive vehicle to confirm fix.

Disassembly
1. Place driveshaft in a vise using care to avoid damaging it.
2. Remove bearing retaining snap rings. Some universal joints use injected nylon retainers in place
of snap rings. During servicing, the snap rings supplied with the replacement universal joint
assembly must be used.
3. Position tool on shaft and press bearing out of yoke, Fig. 7. If bearing cannot be pressed all the
way out, remove it using vise grips or channel lock pliers or position driveshaft as shown and strike
center yoke with hammer, Fig. 8. Mark yoke and shaft to make sure they will be reassembled in
their same relative positions.
4. Reposition tool so that it presses on the spider in order to press other bearing from opposite side
of flange.

Fig. 5 Removing bearings from yoke using a small socket as a driver & large socket as a receiver
Disassembly
1. Remove snap rings (or retainer plates) that retain bearings in yoke and drive shaft.
2. Place U-joint in a vise.
3. Select a wrench socket with an outside diameter slightly smaller than the U-joint bearings. Select
another wrench socket with an inside diameter slightly larger than the U-joint bearings.
4. Place the sockets at opposite bearings in the yoke so that the smaller socket becomes a bearing
pusher and the larger socket becomes a bearing receiver when the vise jaws come together, Fig.
5. Close vise jaws until both bearings are free of yoke and remove bearings from the cross or
spider.
5. If bearings will not come all the way out, close vise until bearing in receiver socket protrudes
from yoke as much as possible without using excessive force. Then remove from vise and place
that portion of bearing which protrudes from yoke between vise jaws. Tighten vise to hold bearing
and drive yoke off with a soft hammer.
6. To remove opposite bearing from yoke, replace in vise with pusher socket on exposed cross
journal with receiver socket over bearing cup. Then tighten vise jaws to press bearing back through
yoke into receiving socket.
7. Remove yoke from drive shaft and again place protruding portion of bearing between vise jaws.
Then tighten vise to hold bearing while driving yoke off bearing with soft hammer.
8. Turn spider or cross 1/4 turn and use the same procedure to press bearings out of drive shaft.

over-lubrication may damage seals during reassembly. Use new seals.
2. If new parts are being installed, check new bearings for adequate grease before assembling.
3. With the pusher (smaller) socket, press one bearing part way into drive shaft. Position spider into
the partially installed bearing. Place second bearing into drive shaft. Fasten drive shaft in vise so
that bearings are in contact with faces of vise jaws, Fig. 6. Some spiders are provided with locating
lugs which must face toward drive shaft when installed.
4. Press bearings all the way into position and install snap rings or retainer plates.
5. Install bearings in yoke in same manner. When installation is completed, check U-joint for
binding or roughness. If free movement is impeded, correct the condition before installation in
vehicle.

LIGHT TRUCK 1985 ECONOLINE, F SERIES, BRONCO
As of approximately November 19, 1984 production, top shift overdrive (TOD) and manual 4-speed
overdrive transmissions (M40D) will incorporate slip fit maindrive bearings in place of current press
fit maindrive bearings. These bearings are used on both the input and output shafts.
The use of the slip fit bearings will make assembly and disassembly easier, eliminating the use of
special tools for bearing removal and installation. In the past with the press fit main bearings if
removal for any reason was necessary, the bearings were discarded and replaced with new ones
due to the removal procedure. With the new slip fit bearings the only ones that will be replaced
during assembly and disassembly are those that are found to be defective.
The new bearings are manufactured by Koyo Seiko and are identified by an "SH" marking in the
inner race. Also to identify this change, the model identification suffix will be advanced on the
transmission service I.D. tag (such as RTS-AB will be RTS-AB1, etc.).

5. Bleed rear brakes as follows:
a. Pump pedal several times, then hold pedal down firmly. b. With pedal firmly depressed, open
bleeder screw on one rear brake until pedal fades to floor, then close bleeder valve. c. Repeat
procedure until a continuous flow of brake fluid is released from bleeder valve. d. Repeat steps 5a
through 5c on other rear brake.
6. Bleed front brakes using same procedure as for rear brakes.
7. Fill master cylinder reservoirs to {1/4} inch from top of reservoirs.
8. Centralize the pressure differential control valve, if applicable, as follows:
a. Turn ignition switch to ``ACC'' or ``On'' position. b. Push brake pedal down, allowing piston to
center itself, turning off warning light. c. Turn ignition switch to ``OFF'' position.

BRAKES - FRONT DISC - SQUEAL
LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 E100/350, F100/350, BRONCO
If the subject vehicles are experiencing a brake squeal concern, they should be serviced by
installing insulator pads. Information in TSB 85-3-10 should not be used, this new service action
supersedes the previous article with updated information.
The following procedures and precautions should be observed when servicing front brake squeal
concerns.
^ Remove the caliper and clean the sliding surfaces with a wire brush. Apply a light coating of
ESAM1C172-A(D7AZ-19590-A) lubricant to both surfaces. Be careful not to get lube on rotors or
linings. Wipe any excess lube off after assembly. Visually inspect rotors for any obvious damage or
scoring.
^ Check the front wheel bearing end play adjustment. Adjust the front wheel bearings using the
procedures included in the Light Truck Shop Manual, Sections 11-10 and 11-12.
NOTE: The disc brake caliper and pads must be removed from the spindle prior to adjusting the
front wheel bearings.
^ Clean lining and rotor surfaces. Remove any uneven glaze buildup on lining and rotor braking
surfaces by sanding with medium to fine sandpaper or emery cloth. Uniform rotor sanding can be
accomplished by holding the paper against the rotor braking surface while manually turning the
rotor.
^ Remove any loose insulator material from the pad backing plates with sandpaper or an
appropriate solvent.
This procedure applies only to the following models: 1980-86 E100/150, F100/150, Bronco, F250
4x2 under 6900 lbs. GVW (single piston calipers).
^ Install the service insulator (E1TZ-2B321-A) to the backing plate of the OUTBOARD pad and
lining assembly (both L.H. and R.H. brake). Bond the insulator to the back side of the brake pad
assembly with ESA-M1C140-A1 (D7AZ-19554-C) adhesive. Apply adhesive to the light color side
of each insulator. Assure that insulator is centered on backing plate and that directions for applying
adhesive are followed.
This procedure is for 1980-86 F250 4x2 over 6900 lbs. GVW, F250 4x4, F350, E250/350 (dual
piston calipers).
^ Install the service insulator (E1TZ-2B321-B) to the back side of the INBOARD pad and lining
assembly (both L.H. and R.H. brake). Bond the insulator to the backing plate and lining assembly
using the previously listed procedure.
^ Install the service shim (E6TZ-2B321-A) to the back side of the outboard pad and lining assembly
(both L.H. and R.H. brake) by clipping the shim over the straight edge of the backing plate. Be sure
the shim is fully seated and centered on the straight edge of the backing plate.
NOTE: For dual piston caliper application only.
^ Reinstall caliper to the spindle assembly.
NOTE: DO NOT replace linings unless required for wear or additional concerns (Shop Manual,
Section 12-24).

ISSUE: Occasional or intermittent brake squeal may be cause by the brake friction material
generating noise and heat in order to dissipate energy. This occasional or intermittent squeal may
be a normal condition and requires no corrective action.
ACTION: If a customer is concerned about occasional or intermittent brake squeal, it should be
explained that brake friction materials inherently generate noise and heat in order to dissipate
energy. As a result, an occasional squeal condition may be normal, and could be affected by cold,
heat, wetness, snow, salt, mud etc.
NOTE: THIS OCCASIONAL OR INTERMITTENT SQUEAL IS NOT A FUNCTIONAL PROBLEM
AND DOES NOT INDICATE ANY LOSS OF BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS.

A moan/drone condition encountered at 55-65 mph may be a 2100-2800 engine rpm-related
condition. Diagnosis and servicing will require a good road test followed by servicing of: 1) engine
mounting, 2) exhaust hanger, 3) alternator pulley, and 4) alternator/thermactor braces depending
on vehicle model and engine combination.
1. Road Test & Service Engine Mountings
a. Road test vehicle. The vehicle should be equipped with a portable tachometer and driven at a
road speed of 55-65 MPH (engine speed of 2100-2800 RPM). The A/C system should be in the
"off" position and the vehicle should be
evaluated on a smooth surfaced road or highway. If the road test verifies a "drone/ moan"
condition, then the following procedures should be followed:
Figure 25
b. On Bronco and F150-350 vehicles, loosen the No. 3 crossmember/rear engine support gussets
at the attachment to the crossmember. If the gussets pull away from the crossmember, add shims
to the gap. Retighten mounting bolts (install larger bolts if required). Refer to attached Figure 25).
c. On model F150-350 (4x2)/E150-350 vehicles, inspect rear engine insulator (mount) for correct
usage of Engineering Part E3TA-6D091-A/Service Part E0TZ-6068-B (white color code). Install
correct part if required. Inspect mount for correct orientation of "capture strap" which could bind up
the mount.
With the vehicle on a two-post hoist, neutralize the front and rear engine support insulators (front
and rear engine mounts) by loosening the front and rear engine mounts attaching bolts (attaching
front mounts to support bracket and the rear mount to the No. 3 crossmember.
Lower the vehicle and place safety stands under the front and rear axles. Start the engine and shift
the automatic transmission into "drive" and back into "neutral" several times while engine is idling.
With manual transmission, load engine by shifting transmission into forward and reverse gears and,
with the parking brake partially applied, slip the clutch to load the engine. Raise the vehicle and
remove the axle stands. Retorque front and rear engine mount attaching bolts (refer to Section
21-21 of 1983-1984 Light Truck Shop Manual for torque specifications). Lower vehicle and remove
from hoist.
d. Re-road test to establish concern resolution. If concern is not resolved, continue procedure.

ISSUE: Occasional or intermittent brake squeal may be cause by the brake friction material
generating noise and heat in order to dissipate energy. This occasional or intermittent squeal may
be a normal condition and requires no corrective action.
ACTION: If a customer is concerned about occasional or intermittent brake squeal, it should be
explained that brake friction materials inherently generate noise and heat in order to dissipate
energy. As a result, an occasional squeal condition may be normal, and could be affected by cold,
heat, wetness, snow, salt, mud etc.
NOTE: THIS OCCASIONAL OR INTERMITTENT SQUEAL IS NOT A FUNCTIONAL PROBLEM
AND DOES NOT INDICATE ANY LOSS OF BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to include 1992 model vehicles.
ISSUE: The wet appearance of the outer cover of rubber brake hoses is called "sweating." This is a
normal condition for neoprene rayon braid hose. The "sweating" condition is not evidence of a
brake fluid leak and will not result in a loss of pressure in the system.
ACTION: No action is required for a normal "sweating" brake hose. However, to test for a hydraulic
fluid leak, proceed as follows:
1. Check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder. If necessary, add brake fluid.
2. Wipe off the hose(s) in question with a clean cloth and an all purpose cleaner, then dry.
3. With the engine running, fully depress the brake twice and hold for two (2) minutes. ^
If the pedal goes down, check all of the connections for leaks and repair as required.
^ If the pedal goes down and no visible leaks are seen, then the master cylinder is leaking
internally and must be replaced or rebuilt. Refer to the appropriate Light Truck or Medium/Heavy
Truck Shop Manual, Section 6 or 12 (Light Truck) and Section 12 (Med./Hvy Truck) for service
details.

Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Description and Operation
EXCEPT AEROSTAR, BRONCO II & 1983---87 RANGER These vehicles use a pressure
differential valve, a metering valve (1980---84) and a proportioning valve which are combined in a
single unit. These valves sense unbalanced pressure between front and rear brakes. Loss of
pressure in either the primary or secondary brake system causes pressure differential valve to
move off center and illuminate brake warning light. After system is replaced and brakes are bled,
the valve centers itself, turning off warning light. The brake warning light switch is mounted on top of
the valve body casting above the pressure differential valve tapered shoulder groove. When the
valve is centered, spring loaded switch plunger fits into the tapered shoulder groove. The switch
contacts are open, interrupting electrical continuity to the brake warning light on the instrument
panel. The metering valve is located in the front end of the control valve housing between the front
brake system inlet port and the right and left front brake outlet ports. This valve regulates hydraulic
fluid pressure to the front disc brakes. The proportioning valve used on some models is located at
the bottom of the housing between the rear brake system inlet and outlet ports. This valve regulates
rear brake system hydraulic pressure. A plug and tube seat is pressed into the rear end of the
central bore. A hole through the center of the plug and tube seal directs hydraulic fluid from the
valve to the rear brake system outlet port.

Vacuum Brake Booster: Description and Operation
The single and tandem vacuum boosters are self contained vacuum hydraulic power braking units.
These are vacuum suspended units that use vacuum and atmospheric pressure for their power. On
gasoline engine vehicles, vacuum is supplied through a fitting in the intake manifold. On diesel
engine vehicles, vacuum is supplied through a vacuum pump. The three basic elements of the
booster are the vacuum power chamber, mechanically actuated booster check valve and a
hydraulic dual master cylinder which supplies hydraulic pressure to the brake system. The vacuum
power chamber consists of a front and rear shell, diaphragm, diaphragm plate, hydraulic pushrod
and vacuum diaphragm return spring. The mechanically actuated booster check valve controls the
degree of power brake application in accordance with foot pressure applied to the valve operating
rod through the brake pedal linkage. This valve is integral with the vacuum power diaphragm.

MOAN/DRONE (5.0L/5.8L) - 2100 2800 RPM
LIGHT TRUCK 1983-85 ECONOLINE, F150-350, BRONCO
A moan/drone condition encountered at 55-65 mph may be a 2100-2800 engine rpm-related
condition. Diagnosis and servicing will require a good road test followed by servicing of: 1) engine
mounting, 2) exhaust hanger, 3) alternator pulley, and 4) alternator/thermactor braces depending
on vehicle model and engine combination.
1. Road Test & Service Engine Mountings
a. Road test vehicle. The vehicle should be equipped with a portable tachometer and driven at a
road speed of 55-65 MPH (engine speed of 2100-2800 RPM). The A/C system should be in the
"off" position and the vehicle should be
evaluated on a smooth surfaced road or highway. If the road test verifies a "drone/ moan"
condition, then the following procedures should be followed:
Figure 25
b. On Bronco and F150-350 vehicles, loosen the No. 3 crossmember/rear engine support gussets
at the attachment to the crossmember. If the gussets pull away from the crossmember, add shims
to the gap. Retighten mounting bolts (install larger bolts if required). Refer to attached Figure 25).
c. On model F150-350 (4x2)/E150-350 vehicles, inspect rear engine insulator (mount) for correct
usage of Engineering Part E3TA-6D091-A/Service Part E0TZ-6068-B (white color code). Install
correct part if required. Inspect mount for correct orientation of "capture strap" which could bind up
the mount.
With the vehicle on a two-post hoist, neutralize the front and rear engine support insulators (front
and rear engine mounts) by loosening the front and rear engine mounts attaching bolts (attaching
front mounts to support bracket and the rear mount to the No. 3 crossmember.
Lower the vehicle and place safety stands under the front and rear axles. Start the engine and shift
the automatic transmission into "drive" and back into "neutral" several times while engine is idling.
With manual transmission, load engine by shifting transmission into forward and reverse gears and,
with the parking brake partially applied, slip the clutch to load the engine. Raise the vehicle and
remove the axle stands. Retorque front and rear engine mount attaching bolts (refer to Section
21-21 of 1983-1984 Light Truck Shop Manual for torque specifications). Lower vehicle and remove
from hoist.
d. Re-road test to establish concern resolution. If concern is not resolved, continue procedure.

Some EEC IV vehicles have experienced the subject driveability conditions usually during high
ambient temperatures and/or high underhood temperatures. It has also been shown to be an
intermittent condition between hot and cold engine compartment temperature. The symptoms may
also be induced by repeated engine cranking. The condition may be the result of the voltage
regulator causing RF interference to interact with the EEC IV processor.
^ Verify excessively high frequency noise on the low end of the AM radio band.
^ Turn engine OFF. Disconnect the voltage regulator.
^ Start engine. Allow the fuel charging system to stabilize and verify that the subject concerns have
been eliminated and the noise on the AM radio band has been significantly diminished.
^ Stop engine. Reconnect the voltage regulator. Restart the engine and verify the return of the

ISSUE: Electrical system concerns that are due to diode failure may be serviced with an approved
Ford service diode. Some electrical diodes used in early production vehicles are color coded for the
purpose of size identification while others are stamped with a manufacture number. All Ford service
diodes and current production diodes are identified by manufacture number.
ACTION: If service is required, refer to the appropriate model/year Electrical and Vacuum
Troubleshooting Manual (EVTM) to determine the size and location of the diode(s). Refer to the
following Electrical Diode Application Chart for the correct service part number.
NOTE:
IF THE DIODE REQUIRING REPLACEMENT DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME RATING AS LISTED
IN THE APPLICATION CHART, USE THE NEXT HIGHER RATED DIODE.

When operating the A/C system for long periods of time with the blower motor set on high, the
solder at the end of the A/C fuse melts with the additional loss of holder clip retention due to the
heat build-up. A revised fuse holder is released to resolve the subject concern.
The following procedure should be performed:
1. Check fuse for damage (solder melted at end of fuse).
2. Check fuse holder for proper retention of fuse (loss of fuse holder clip retention due to heat
build-up).
3. If the fuse or fuse holder show no heat damage perform normal diagnostic procedures for
inoperative A/C blower motor. If the fuse or fuse holder is found to be damaged as described in
Steps 1 and 2 continue with Step 4.
4. Disconnect battery ground cable.
5. Remove two fuse panel retaining screws and turn fuse panel to expose back side of panel.
6. Locate the two orange wires (Circuit 181) leading to the A/C fuse holder. Cut both wires as close
to the fuse panel as possible and remove the fuse holders from the fuse panel.
7. Install in-line fuse holder E5FZ-14517-A using 30 amp fuse D9ZZ-14526-G (green).

STEERING - DRIFT/PULL - RUBBER BALL SOCKET LINKAGE WIND-UP
LIGHT TRUCK 1985-86 E, F SERIES, BRONCO
Complaints of drifts and pulls on certain 1985-86 E, F Series and Bronco models may be caused
by the installation procedure of the steering linkage. BECAUSE THE RUBBER TENDS TO
RETURN TO ITS INSTALLED POSITION, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE INSTALLATION BE
ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE FRONT WHEELS AND THE PITMAN ARM IN THE STRAIGHT
AHEAD POSITION, AND THE STUD SEATED IN THE TAPERED HOLE PRIOR TO TIGHTENING
THE NUTS. Care should be taken with the installation to prevent a drift condition.
To diagnose if a preload in the rubber is causing the drift, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Loosen the studs in the tapered holes at the pitman arm and the left and right spindles (i.e.,
disengage the stud from the hole so that it is no longer seated).
2. Hand install the nuts so that the stud is free to turn inside the tapered hole.
3. INSTALL COTTER PINS IN ALL THE STUDS.
4. Drive the vehicle. If it no longer drifts, then it can be assumed that the rubber was causing the
drift. If it continues to drift, the condition is NOT being caused by the rubber ball sockets.
5. In either case, do not replace the steering linkage.
Reinstall the linkage as follows:
F Series and Bronco
1. Ensure the pitman arm and wheels are in the straight ahead position. (The pitman arm is exactly
straight ahead when the clear vision is at 0~.)
2. Lock the steering wheel straight ahead and loose assemble the steering linkage to the pitman
arm and then to the spindles.
3. Being careful not to change the position of the pitman arm, torque the steering linkage nuts to 65
ft.lbs. (88.1 N-m) The recommended sequence for tightening is: 1) the pitman arm, 2) the right side
spindle and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in if necessary.
Econoline
1. Ensure that the wheels are in the straight ahead position.
2. Loose assemble the steering linkage to the spindles and the pitman arm.
3. Being careful not to move the wheels from the straight ahead position, torque the steering
linkage nuts to 65 ft.lbs. The recommended tightening sequence is: 1) the right side spindle, 2) the
pitman arm and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in and reset the clear vision if necessary.
The above procedure will eliminate any of the drift being caused by the rubber ball sockets. If the
vehicle still drifts, refer to Section 19 of the Light Truck Shop Manual for further diagnosis.

STEERING - DRIFT/PULL CASTER SPLIT ADJUSTMENT
LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F250-350 4x2; 1976-86 E100-350
A side-to-side front wheel caster difference greater than 3/4 degree can contribute to a vehicle drift
or pull in the direction of the side with less caster. The service kit (E5TZ-3K064-A) can be used to
increase the front wheel caster angle on either or both wheels to balance the caster split to correct
a vehicle drift/pull concern. The kit contains complete parts and instructions needed to modify the
front radius arm and mount a metal cam on the bottom flange of the radius arm. The kit can
increase caster from 1/2 degree to 3 degrees, in 1/2 degree increments. It is not designed to
decrease caster.
To increase front wheel caster angle of subject vehicles and/or to balance a caster split, the
following procedure is suggested:
1. Remove the radius arm from the vehicle as shown in Section 14-21 of the Reference Shop
Manual and choose the appropriate paper template applicable to the vehicle model.
Figure 8 - POSITIONING TEMPLATE TO LOWER FLANGE OF RADIUS ARM
2. Locate the template (3B474) on the bottom flange of the radius arm. Refer to Figure 8 for a
typical arm modification for the right hand radius arm. One template per vehicle model is used to
modify both the right and left hand radius arms. When modifying the right hand arm, position the

template with the printed side downward. The template locates off of one of two existing holes in
the radius arm. The E100-350 template is shaped to match the contours of the radius arm.

3. With template secure, make a punch mark at the center of the small hole inside the printed
circle. Scribe the slot printed/cut-out on the template and die-grind out the slot at the axle-attaching
hole the same size as the slot in the template and de-burr the surface avoiding rounding the edges
of the slot. Refer to Figure 9.

4. Drill a 0.228 inch diameter hole at the punch mark. Use this hole to mount the adjusting cam with
the 1/4-20 self-tapping screw supplied. Refer to Figure 10.
5. Figure 10 shows a typical cam installation. Each hole in the cam represents a 1/2 degree caster
increase. A caster increase of approximately 2 degrees for the E100-350, for example, will be
obtained by mounting the cam with the selftapping screw in the No. 2 hole of the cam to the lower
flange of the radius arm.

upward slightly to help install and seat the axles. Do not use heat to bend.
7. Reset front wheel toe after installation is complete. AFTER THE DESIRED ALIGNMENT IS
ASSURED THE CAM MUST BE WELDED TO THE ARM ARC WELD ONE INCH MINIMUM
LENGTH ALONG TWO SIDES OF THE CAM.
NOTE: The metal adjusting cam plate has a Ford logo stamped on it to identify it for E100- 150 and
F250-350 4x2 vehicles only on vehicles with a front stabilizer bar. The bar mounting bracket may
be reworked to provide clearance for the self-tapping screw. Do not use parts from kit E4TZ3K064-A on these vehicles.

TIRE WEAR - FRONT - OUTSIDE EDGE
LIGHT TRUCK 1976-86 E100-150
Outboard shoulder wear, predominantly in lightly loaded city-delivery type use, is aggravated by
excessive positive wheel camber in turning. The caster adjustment kit described in TSB 85-19-15
can be used to increase caster of either wheel up to 3 degrees in 1/2 degree increments. The kit
contains complete instructions for modifying the front radius arms and mounting a metal adjusting
cam to the bottom flange of each radius arm. Cams must be arc-welded a minimum of one inch
along two sides of the cam to the lower flange of the radius arm.
Increasing caster the full 3 degrees effectively reduces camber of the outboard wheel in a turn 1.5
degrees. Increasing caster more than 3 degrees is not recommended since this may cause
complaints of wheel shimmy and/or excessive steering efforts. Also, caster should not be increased
on vehicles built since April 1, 1984. These vehicles have the 3 degree caster increase already built
into the axles which have axle part numbers E4UA-6-BA and E4UA-7-BA embossed on the face of
each axle.
Three other significant factors may also contribute to outboard shoulder wear. They are excessive
toe-in (generally greater than 5/32 inch), excessive cornering speeds, and low tire pressure. After
any adjustments to front end alignment, toe should be adjusted to zero. On vehicles subject to
extensive city-delivery use, toe may be set up to 1/16 inch toe-out for optimum tire life.

Certain model vehicles have a significant weight change on the front axle between manufacture by
Ford and placement into service. This occurs when incomplete vehicles are completed by a body
company or when equipment is added to a complete vehicle (i.e., winches, plows, tool boxes, etc.).

STEERING - DRIFT/PULL - RUBBER BALL SOCKET LINKAGE WIND-UP
LIGHT TRUCK 1985-86 E, F SERIES, BRONCO
Complaints of drifts and pulls on certain 1985-86 E, F Series and Bronco models may be caused
by the installation procedure of the steering linkage. BECAUSE THE RUBBER TENDS TO
RETURN TO ITS INSTALLED POSITION, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE INSTALLATION BE
ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE FRONT WHEELS AND THE PITMAN ARM IN THE STRAIGHT
AHEAD POSITION, AND THE STUD SEATED IN THE TAPERED HOLE PRIOR TO TIGHTENING
THE NUTS. Care should be taken with the installation to prevent a drift condition.
To diagnose if a preload in the rubber is causing the drift, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Loosen the studs in the tapered holes at the pitman arm and the left and right spindles (i.e.,
disengage the stud from the hole so that it is no longer seated).
2. Hand install the nuts so that the stud is free to turn inside the tapered hole.
3. INSTALL COTTER PINS IN ALL THE STUDS.
4. Drive the vehicle. If it no longer drifts, then it can be assumed that the rubber was causing the
drift. If it continues to drift, the condition is NOT being caused by the rubber ball sockets.
5. In either case, do not replace the steering linkage.
Reinstall the linkage as follows:
F Series and Bronco
1. Ensure the pitman arm and wheels are in the straight ahead position. (The pitman arm is exactly
straight ahead when the clear vision is at 0~.)
2. Lock the steering wheel straight ahead and loose assemble the steering linkage to the pitman
arm and then to the spindles.
3. Being careful not to change the position of the pitman arm, torque the steering linkage nuts to 65
ft.lbs. (88.1 N-m) The recommended sequence for tightening is: 1) the pitman arm, 2) the right side
spindle and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in if necessary.
Econoline
1. Ensure that the wheels are in the straight ahead position.
2. Loose assemble the steering linkage to the spindles and the pitman arm.
3. Being careful not to move the wheels from the straight ahead position, torque the steering
linkage nuts to 65 ft.lbs. The recommended tightening sequence is: 1) the right side spindle, 2) the
pitman arm and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in and reset the clear vision if necessary.
The above procedure will eliminate any of the drift being caused by the rubber ball sockets. If the
vehicle still drifts, refer to Section 19 of the Light Truck Shop Manual for further diagnosis.

LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F250-350 4x2; 1976-86 E100-350
A side-to-side front wheel caster difference greater than 3/4 degree can contribute to a vehicle drift
or pull in the direction of the side with less caster. The service kit (E5TZ-3K064-A) can be used to
increase the front wheel caster angle on either or both wheels to balance the caster split to correct
a vehicle drift/pull concern. The kit contains complete parts and instructions needed to modify the
front radius arm and mount a metal cam on the bottom flange of the radius arm. The kit can
increase caster from 1/2 degree to 3 degrees, in 1/2 degree increments. It is not designed to
decrease caster.
To increase front wheel caster angle of subject vehicles and/or to balance a caster split, the
following procedure is suggested:
1. Remove the radius arm from the vehicle as shown in Section 14-21 of the Reference Shop
Manual and choose the appropriate paper template applicable to the vehicle model.
Figure 8 - POSITIONING TEMPLATE TO LOWER FLANGE OF RADIUS ARM
2. Locate the template (3B474) on the bottom flange of the radius arm. Refer to Figure 8 for a
typical arm modification for the right hand radius arm. One template per vehicle model is used to
modify both the right and left hand radius arms. When modifying the right hand arm, position the

TIRE WEAR - FRONT - OUTSIDE EDGE
LIGHT TRUCK 1976-86 E100-150
Outboard shoulder wear, predominantly in lightly loaded city-delivery type use, is aggravated by
excessive positive wheel camber in turning. The caster adjustment kit described in TSB 85-19-15
can be used to increase caster of either wheel up to 3 degrees in 1/2 degree increments. The kit
contains complete instructions for modifying the front radius arms and mounting a metal adjusting
cam to the bottom flange of each radius arm. Cams must be arc-welded a minimum of one inch
along two sides of the cam to the lower flange of the radius arm.
Increasing caster the full 3 degrees effectively reduces camber of the outboard wheel in a turn 1.5
degrees. Increasing caster more than 3 degrees is not recommended since this may cause
complaints of wheel shimmy and/or excessive steering efforts. Also, caster should not be increased
on vehicles built since April 1, 1984. These vehicles have the 3 degree caster increase already built
into the axles which have axle part numbers E4UA-6-BA and E4UA-7-BA embossed on the face of
each axle.
Three other significant factors may also contribute to outboard shoulder wear. They are excessive
toe-in (generally greater than 5/32 inch), excessive cornering speeds, and low tire pressure. After
any adjustments to front end alignment, toe should be adjusted to zero. On vehicles subject to
extensive city-delivery use, toe may be set up to 1/16 inch toe-out for optimum tire life.

Steering - Vehicle Drifting/Pulling
Article No. 86-6-22
STEERING - DRIFT/PULL - RUBBER BALL SOCKET LINKAGE WIND-UP
LIGHT TRUCK 1985-86 E, F SERIES, BRONCO
Complaints of drifts and pulls on certain 1985-86 E, F Series and Bronco models may be caused
by the installation procedure of the steering linkage. BECAUSE THE RUBBER TENDS TO
RETURN TO ITS INSTALLED POSITION, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE INSTALLATION BE
ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE FRONT WHEELS AND THE PITMAN ARM IN THE STRAIGHT
AHEAD POSITION, AND THE STUD SEATED IN THE TAPERED HOLE PRIOR TO TIGHTENING
THE NUTS. Care should be taken with the installation to prevent a drift condition.
To diagnose if a preload in the rubber is causing the drift, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Loosen the studs in the tapered holes at the pitman arm and the left and right spindles (i.e.,
disengage the stud from the hole so that it is no longer seated).
2. Hand install the nuts so that the stud is free to turn inside the tapered hole.
3. INSTALL COTTER PINS IN ALL THE STUDS.
4. Drive the vehicle. If it no longer drifts, then it can be assumed that the rubber was causing the
drift. If it continues to drift, the condition is NOT being caused by the rubber ball sockets.
5. In either case, do not replace the steering linkage.
Reinstall the linkage as follows:
F Series and Bronco
1. Ensure the pitman arm and wheels are in the straight ahead position. (The pitman arm is exactly
straight ahead when the clear vision is at 0~.)
2. Lock the steering wheel straight ahead and loose assemble the steering linkage to the pitman
arm and then to the spindles.
3. Being careful not to change the position of the pitman arm, torque the steering linkage nuts to 65
ft.lbs. (88.1 N-m) The recommended sequence for tightening is: 1) the pitman arm, 2) the right side
spindle and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in if necessary.
Econoline
1. Ensure that the wheels are in the straight ahead position.
2. Loose assemble the steering linkage to the spindles and the pitman arm.
3. Being careful not to move the wheels from the straight ahead position, torque the steering
linkage nuts to 65 ft.lbs. The recommended tightening sequence is: 1) the right side spindle, 2) the
pitman arm and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in and reset the clear vision if necessary.
The above procedure will eliminate any of the drift being caused by the rubber ball sockets. If the
vehicle still drifts, refer to Section 19 of the Light Truck Shop Manual for further diagnosis.

Fig. 8 Measuring Riding Height
Prior to checking caster and camber, ensure vehicle front ride height is within {1/8} inch side to side
1980-87 E-100-350. On 1980-87 F-100-350 models, the left side ride height should be within
0-{3/8} inch higher than the right side ride height. On 1980-87 F-150-350 (4x4) and Bronco, the
front ride heights should be within {3/16} inch side to side. Refer to Figs. 6, 7 and 8. If the vehicle
ride heights are not within specifications, redistribute load on loaded vehicles or slightly load empty
vehicles on one side. If the ride heights cannot be brought within specifications, verify correct
spring installation. The ride height variations stated, are for checking purposes only. The vehicle
does not have to operate within these specifications. Check and correct as necessary all tire
inflation pressures, then check front tires for the same size, ply rating and load range. Check front
wheel bearings and adjust as necessary. If all the above checks have been made, check wheel
alignment with suitable alignment equipment. Using the ride heights obtained earlier, compare
caster and camber readings to those listed in the ``Wheel Alignment Specifications Chart''. If the
caster and camber angles exceed the specifications, inspect front end for damaged suspension
components. Replace as necessary. Alignment equipment indicates a true reading only when the
vehicle's frame is horizontal. Therefore, if the frame is not level (due to tire, spring or load
differences), the caster angle reading must be modified to compensate for the frame angles. If the
front is higher than the rear, subtract the amount of angle from the reading. If the front is lower than
the rear, add the angle. To check frame angle, use a spirit protractor, and take the frame angle
measurement on the lower frame flange at the flat area immediately adjacent to the rear spring
front hanger.
1980-85 4 X 2 MODELS EXC. 1982-85 F-100-350 W/BALL JOINTS
The camber and caster angles are designed into the front end and are not adjustable.
TOE-IN, ADJUST Check the steering wheel spoke position when the front wheels are in the
straight ahead position. If the spokes are not in the normal position, they can be adjusted while
toe-in is being adjusted.
1. Loosen clamp bolts on each tie rod end sleeve.
2. Adjust toe-in. If steering wheel spokes are in their normal position, lengthen or shorten both rods
equally to obtain correct toe-in. If spokes are not in normal position, make necessary rod
adjustments to obtain correct toe-in and steering wheel spoke alignment.

recall should be discussed with your supervising Ford location or reported to this office. Dear
Owner:
This notice is seat to you in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. National Traffic and
Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Ford Motor Company has determined that a defect related to motor
vehicle safety exists in certain 1985 and 1986 E-250/350 Econolines and Club Wagons and in
specialty vehicles derived from those units. Our records show that you own one or more of these
vehicles.
REASONS FOR THIS RECALL:
The rubber material in a flexible joint that connects the drag link assembly to the pitman arm in the
steering linkage of your vehicle may wear out. This could potentially cause the linkage to separate
from the steering gear. If this happens, steering control would be lost and a vehicle crash could
result. Such a separation would be most likely to occur during a low speed sharp turn, as when
parking. If the joint is significantly worn, the driver will be forewarned by:
^ loose or "sloppy" steering feel, as compared to other cars or vans.
^ unusually large amounts of steering wheel free-play, or the need to make unusually large steering
wheel movements to accomplish minor

ISSUE: Unequal left hand and right hand turn angles, wide center steering wheel feel and a
variance in steering wheel rotation from the straight-ahead position to full right turn versus the
straight-ahead position to full left turn may be caused by tolerance stack-ups and only one (1)
adjusting sleeve for toe-in setting which allows the steering maximum travel to be regulated by
steering gear travel rather than the axle spindle steering stops.
ACTION: To correct this, install a new design drag link with an adjusting sleeve. Refer to the
following service procedure. Refer to the steering drag link application chart on page 32 of this TSB
for the correct service parts.

is now centered.
9. Without rotating the steering column, remove the steering wheel from the column and reinstall it
so that the clear vision is set at 0 degrees.
NOTE: THE STEERING COLUMN MUST NOT MOVE DURING THIS OPERATION OR THE
STEERING GEAR WILL BE OFF CENTER.
10. Repeat Steps 6, 7 and 8 to make sure the steering gear is centered.
11. Tighten steering wheel retaining to the torque specification listed in the Light Truck Shop
Manual, Volume A, Section 13-06.
12. Assemble the new drag link, tie rod end and adjusting sleeve.
13. Adjust the length of the drag link assembly so that it is about the same as the length of the old
drag link.
14. Install the new drag link. Refer to the Light Truck Shop Manual, Volume A, Section 13-24 for
service details.
NOTE: THE WHEELS MUST BE IN THE STRAIGHT-AHEAD POSITION AND THE STUDS
SEATED IN THE TAPERED HOLE PRIOR TO TIGHTENING THE NUTS SO THAT THE RUBBER
BALL SOCKETS WILL NOT BE PRELOADED AND CAUSE A DRIFT CONDITION.
15. Check and adjust toe. Refer to the Light Truck Shop Manual, Volume A, Section 14-01 for front
end alignment specifications and procedures.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1975-88 E SERIES
ISSUE: Unequal left hand and right hand turn angles, wide center steering wheel feel and a
variance in steering wheel rotation from the straight-ahead position to full right turn versus the
straight-ahead position to full left turn may be caused by tolerance stack-ups and only one (1)
adjusting sleeve for toe-in setting which allows the steering maximum travel to be regulated by
steering gear travel rather than the axle spindle steering stops.
ACTION: To correct this, install a new design drag link with an adjusting sleeve. Refer to the
following service procedure. Refer to the steering drag link application chart on page 32 of this TSB
for the correct service parts.

Owner:
This notice is seat to you in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. National Traffic and
Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Ford Motor Company has determined that a defect related to motor
vehicle safety exists in certain 1985 and 1986 E-250/350 Econolines and Club Wagons and in
specialty vehicles derived from those units. Our records show that you own one or more of these

parking. If the joint is significantly worn, the driver will be forewarned by:
^ loose or "sloppy" steering feel, as compared to other cars or vans.
^ unusually large amounts of steering wheel free-play, or the need to make unusually large steering
wheel movements to accomplish minor

spindle. 5. Remove inner bearing cone and seal. Discard the seal. 6. Remove brake dust shield. 7.
Disconnect the steering linkage from the spindle arm by removing the cotter pin and nut, and then
removing the tie rod end from the spindle arm
with tie Rod End Remover, TOOL-3290-D or equivalent.
8. Remove the nut and lockwasher from the lock pin, and remove the lock pin. 9. Remove the
upper and lower spindle pin plugs; then, drive the spindle pin out from the top of the axle and
remove the spindle and thrust bearing.
Remove the spindle pin seal and thrust bearing.
INSTALL
1. Make sure the spindle pin hole in the axle is free of nicks, burrs, corrosion or foreign material.
Clean up the bore as necessary and lightly coat the
surface with a lithium-base grease, Long-Life Lubricant, C1AZ-19590-BA (ESA-M1C75-B) or
equivalent.
2. Install a new spindle pin seal with the metal backing facing up towards the bushing into the
spindle. Gently press seal into position, being careful
not to distort the casing.
3. Install a new thrust bearing with the lip flange facing down towards the lower bushing. Press until
the bearing is firmly seated against the surface
of the spindle.
4. Lightly coat the bushing surfaces with grease and place the spindle in position on the axle. 5.
Hold the spindle with thrust bearing in place tight against the axle and measure the space between
the axle and the spindle at the top of the axle. If
the vehicle uses shims, select the proper shims and install.
6. Install the spindle pin with the "T" stamped on one end towards the top, and the notch in the pin
aligned with the lock pin hole in the axle. Insert
the spindle pin through the bushings and axle from the top until the spindle pin notch and axle lock
pin hole are in line.
7. Install the lock pin with the threads pointing forward and the wedge groove facing the spindle pin
notch. Firmly drive the lock pin into position
and mount the lockwasher and nut. Tighten the nut to 52-84 Nm (38-62 ft lb).

Information > Service and Repair
Power Steering Bleeding: Service and Repair
Four factors affect power operation of the steering system: fluid level and condition, drive belt
tension, pump pressure and steering gear adjustment. These should always be checked before
any major service operations are performed. Conditions such as, hard or loose steering, road
shock or vibrations are not always due to steering gear or pump, but are often related instead to
such factors as low tire pressure and front end alignment. These factors should be checked and
corrected before any adjustment of the steering gear is made.
CHECKING FLUID LEVEL
1. Run engine to normal operating temperature, then shut it off. Remove reservoir filler cap and
check oil level on dipstick. Level should be up to ``Full'' mark on dipstick.
2. If level is low, add power steering fluid to proper level on dipstick and replace filler cap. When
adding less than one pint of fluid, it is permissible to use automatic transmission fluid. When adding
larger quantities or when making a complete fluid change, it is recommended that special power
steering fluid be used.
3. When checking fluid level after system has been serviced, air must be bled from the system as
outlined under ``Bleeding System.''
BLEEDING SYSTEM
1. With wheels turned all the way to the left, add the recommended fluid to the ``Add'' mark on
dipstick.
2. Start engine. While running at fast idle, recheck fluid level and, if necessary, add fluid to the
``Add'' mark on dipstick.
3. Bleed system by turning wheels from side to side without hitting stops. Maintain fluid level just
above internal pump casting. Fluid with air in it will have a light tan appearance. This air must be
eliminated from fluid before normal steering action can be obtained.
4. Return wheels to center position and continue to run engine for two or three minutes, then shut it
off.
5. Road test vehicle to make sure steering functions normally and is free from noise.
6. Recheck fluid level, making sure level is at the ``Full'' mark.

Precautions
Steering Column: Service Precautions
When the steering column is installed in the vehicle it is not susceptible to damage through
ordinary use; however, when it is removed, care must be taken during handling. Such actions as a
sharp blow on the end of the steering shaft or shift levers, leaning on the column assembly or
dropping of the assembly could loosen or shear the plastic shear joints or rivets used to maintain
column rigidity. Hammering, jolting or bumping on the steering shaft and gearshift tube must be
avoided during all service operations. If the shear pins are broken, the controlled length of the
telescoping design will be altered making these components unfit for further service. When
removing the steering wheel, only a steering wheel puller designed for this purpose must be used.
It is important that only the specified screws, bolts and nuts be used during the assembly
procedure and torqued to specifications to insure proper breakaway action of the column under
impact. Avoid using excessively long bolts or fasteners as they may prevent a portion of the
steering column from collapsing. When replacing fasteners, replace with ones of the same part
number or equivalent. When removing or installing the steering wheel, ignition switch, lock cylinder,
turn signal switch, neutral start switch, back-up light switch or adjusting column shift manual
transmission linkage refer to the appropriate vehicle chapter.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Steering > Steering Column > Component Information > Service
Precautions > Page 5242
Steering Column: Description and Operation
ENERGY ABSORBING STEERING COLUMNS The energy absorbing function of the steering
column allows the column to collapse at a controlled rate during a severe collision. The collapsing
action reduces the possibility of the steering wheel being driven rearward towards the driver. If the
driver is thrown forward into the steering wheel, the column can collapse even further at the same
controlled rate, thereby reducing the force of impact. Several designs of steering column jackets
are used. There is the slip-tube design which is held together with plastic inserts or rivets that shear
upon impact and allow the column to collapse. And there is the slotted or corrugated mesh design
and bellows type design which shorten in length during impact. The shift tube is a two piece design
which is held together by injections of plastic that form the interconnecting inserts and shear pins.
Under impact, there is a gradual paring away of the inserts by the knife-like edge in the adjoining
tube section. The steering shaft is a two piece assembly. The upper piece is solid and has a double
flattened lower end. The lower piece is hollow and formed to fit over the double flattened section of
the upper piece. The purpose of the double flattened section is to provide continued steering action
even though the shaft is completely collapsed. Upon impact, the shear pins break off and the shaft
gradually telescopes against resistance provided by the plastic injections. The steering column
mounting bracket prevents the column from being shifted towards the driver during impact. It uses
two ``breakaway capsules'' that allow the mounting bracket to slip off its attaching points, allowing
the steering column to compress or yield in a forward direction under a severe impact from the
driver's end.

STEERING - DRIFT/PULL - RUBBER BALL SOCKET LINKAGE WIND-UP
LIGHT TRUCK 1985-86 E, F SERIES, BRONCO
Complaints of drifts and pulls on certain 1985-86 E, F Series and Bronco models may be caused
by the installation procedure of the steering linkage. BECAUSE THE RUBBER TENDS TO
RETURN TO ITS INSTALLED POSITION, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE INSTALLATION BE
ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE FRONT WHEELS AND THE PITMAN ARM IN THE STRAIGHT
AHEAD POSITION, AND THE STUD SEATED IN THE TAPERED HOLE PRIOR TO TIGHTENING
THE NUTS. Care should be taken with the installation to prevent a drift condition.
To diagnose if a preload in the rubber is causing the drift, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Loosen the studs in the tapered holes at the pitman arm and the left and right spindles (i.e.,
disengage the stud from the hole so that it is no longer seated).
2. Hand install the nuts so that the stud is free to turn inside the tapered hole.
3. INSTALL COTTER PINS IN ALL THE STUDS.
4. Drive the vehicle. If it no longer drifts, then it can be assumed that the rubber was causing the
drift. If it continues to drift, the condition is NOT being caused by the rubber ball sockets.
5. In either case, do not replace the steering linkage.
Reinstall the linkage as follows:
F Series and Bronco
1. Ensure the pitman arm and wheels are in the straight ahead position. (The pitman arm is exactly
straight ahead when the clear vision is at 0~.)
2. Lock the steering wheel straight ahead and loose assemble the steering linkage to the pitman
arm and then to the spindles.
3. Being careful not to change the position of the pitman arm, torque the steering linkage nuts to 65
ft.lbs. (88.1 N-m) The recommended sequence for tightening is: 1) the pitman arm, 2) the right side
spindle and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in if necessary.
Econoline
1. Ensure that the wheels are in the straight ahead position.
2. Loose assemble the steering linkage to the spindles and the pitman arm.
3. Being careful not to move the wheels from the straight ahead position, torque the steering
linkage nuts to 65 ft.lbs. The recommended tightening sequence is: 1) the right side spindle, 2) the
pitman arm and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in and reset the clear vision if necessary.
The above procedure will eliminate any of the drift being caused by the rubber ball sockets. If the
vehicle still drifts, refer to Section 19 of the Light Truck Shop Manual for further diagnosis.

TRUCK:
1983-87 E-150
ISSUE: "Body boom" and driveline vibration between the speeds of 35 and 65 mph (56 and 105
km/h) may be caused by one or more vehicle component areas. The vibration and boom are
usually more noticeable when the AOD transmission is operating in overdrive, but may also occur
when the AOD transmission is operating in third gear. In most cases there is more than one factor
causing the NVH concern.
ACTION: To correct this, use the following diagnostic procedures and the 1987 Light Truck Shop
Manual, Section 18-01 to determine which vehicle components require attention. The diagnostic
procedures should be followed in the order in which they appear in this TSB article. After the
completion of each section the vehicle should be road tested to determine if the condition has been
corrected. If the condition is still present, proceed to the next section. An Econoline NVH diagnostic
chart is on page 52 of this TSB to assist in concern identification.
Wheels & Tires, Chassis Groundout & Exhaust System
Wheels and Tires
1. Make sure the front wheels are centered on the rotor hub pilot and the rear wheels are centered
on the rear drum pilot by using the Rotunda Runout Gauge, 007-00014 to check wheel and tire
assembly runout.
NOTE: Special attention should be given to vehicles equipped with aftermarket aluminum wheels.
2. If incorrect wheel and tire assembly runout is found, loosen the lug nuts, rotate the wheel and tire
assembly and carefully retighten the lug nuts finger tight.
3. Recheck the wheel and tire assembly runout while rotating the wheel and tire assembly. If the
runout is okay, torque the lug nuts to 100 ft.lbs. (136 N-m). If runout is still incorrect, service as
required.
Body to Chassis Groundout
1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist and make sure the mounting bolts from aftermarket seats and safety
belt anchors are not grounded to the frame, service as required.
2. Check to make sure the running boards are not grounded to the frame, service as required.
3. Make sure the exhaust system is not grounded to the frame, service as required.
Exhaust System
1. Check to make sure an exhaust bind-up condition is not present by using the following steps:
a. Road test the vehicle to determine if a "drone" noise is present each time the transmission shifts
from one gear to the next between 0 and 65 MPH (0 and 105 km/h).
b. If "drone" noise is present, apply the parking brake, depress the brake pedal and brake torque
engine to simulate condition. The "drone" should appear around 1800 to 2000 RPM.
c. Remove the exhaust system hanger in front and behind the muffler.
d. Repeat Step b. If "drone" is gone, loosen the "Y" pipe at the exhaust manifold and the muffler.
e. Reposition the exhaust system upward to eliminate stress on the two (2) hangers. Retighten the
"Y" pipe to specification.
NOTE: On 1987 vehicles, remove the front hanger bracket from the cross member. Knock out the
existing retainer bolts from the hanger. Reinstall the bracket with longer bolts and add 1/4" to 1/2"
stack of washers to each bolt between the bracket and cross member. This will make sure the
rubber isolator is in a neutral position.

5316
1. Make sure the driveshaft runout does not exceed .035". Refer to the Light Truck Shop Manual,
Section 18-01-8.
2. If runout exceeds .035", install a new driveshaft. Refer to the driveshaft application chart on page
49 of this TSB for the correct service part number.
3. Make sure the drive shaft U-joints are not worn. Check for a hard to move U-joint or a U-joint that
catches when moved from side to side.
NOTE: If it is necessary to replace a U-joint, refer to the following "Road Test" procedure to make
sure a driveshaft imbalance is not caused by the U-joint replacement.
4. If the U-joints are okay, mark the driveshaft-to-axle flange with paint to aid in re-indexing.
5. Remove the driveshaft from the axle flange and re-index 180 degrees.
6. Road test the vehicle.
NOTE: If the noise and vibration are still present or not acceptable, proceed to the "Road Test"
procedure below.
Road Test Procedure
1. Select a road where the vehicle can be safely operated at speeds from 25 to 65 MPH (40 to 105
km/h).
2. Slowly accelerate from 25 to 65 MPH (40 to 105 km/h) and observe the speed where the noise
and vibration occur. Carefully watch the 35 to 45 MPH (56 to 72 km/h) range.
3. Shift into neutral at 65 MPH (105 km/h) and coast down to 25 MPH (40 km/h) noting at what
speed the noise and vibration occur.
^ If the noise and vibration were not present during coast down, the NVH concern is not with an
imbalanced driveshaft.
^ Vibrations during a neutral coastdown from 65 to 45 MPH (105 to 72 km/h) indicate an
imbalanced driveshaft and/or imbalanced wheel and tire assemblies.
^ Vibrations from 35 to 45 MPH (56 to 72 km/h) indicate an imbalanced driveshaft.
^ Vibration from improperly balanced wheel and tire assemblies are normally FELT in the steering
wheel and seats and do not have body "boom" noise associated with it. If this is the case, balance
all four (4) wheel and tire assemblies.

5317
^ An improperly balanced driveshaft will usually have an audible noise or body "boom" noise. If this
is the case, balance or replace the driveshaft.
Driveshaft Balance & Rear Springs & Axle Information
Driveshaft Balance
1. Raise the vehicle on a twin post hoist.
2. Start the engine, engage the transmission and run up to vibration speed.
NOTE: Observe the level of vibration in the seat and steering wheel.
3. Have an assistant install one hose clamp at the rear of the driveshaft. Position the clamp with the
screw head lined up with the existing balance weights on the driveshaft.
4. Start engine and run up to vibration speed. If the vibration got worse, rotate the clamp 180
degrees. Continue the procedure of rotating at 90 degree increments until all four (4) quadrants
have been evaluated. Choose the best position and tighten clamp.
5. If vibration is still present, install a second clamp in the same position as the one installed in Step
4.
6. If vibration increases, scribe a line on the driveshaft at the screwhead locations.
7. Rotate one (1) clamp a 1/2" clockwise and the other 1/2" counterclockwise. Move the clamps
further apart or closer together as required to "FINE TUNE" the system.
Rear Springs
1. Make sure rear springs are the six leaf design.
2. If not, install two (2) new six leaf springs, (D6UZ-5560-D).
Rear Axle
1. If the condition is still present after all the above sections have been completed, road test the
vehicle to determine if the correct driveline angle is present or a new ring and pinion assembly is
required.
2. Drive vehicle about 10-12 miles (16-19 kilometers).
3. With the transmission in overdrive for AOD transmission or in drive for C6 transmissions,
accelerate to 50 MPH (80 km/h). Slowly increase the speed to 65 MPH (105 km/h) noting at what
speed the noise and vibration occur.
4. Shift into neutral and coast down to 50 MPH (80 km/h). Observe whether or "boom" noise is
present and at what speed.
5. If "boom" is only present in drive, measure the angle between the driveshaft and axle. If greater
than 2 degrees, shim the axle at the spring seats to achieve a 1 degree angle.
6. Road test the vehicle. If the "boom" is still present, install a special "low" pitch line runout (PLRO)
rear axle ring and pinion set. Refer to the following ring and pinion application chart.

TIRE WEAR - FRONT - OUTSIDE EDGE
LIGHT TRUCK 1976-86 E100-150
Outboard shoulder wear, predominantly in lightly loaded city-delivery type use, is aggravated by
excessive positive wheel camber in turning. The caster adjustment kit described in TSB 85-19-15
can be used to increase caster of either wheel up to 3 degrees in 1/2 degree increments. The kit
contains complete instructions for modifying the front radius arms and mounting a metal adjusting
cam to the bottom flange of each radius arm. Cams must be arc-welded a minimum of one inch
along two sides of the cam to the lower flange of the radius arm.
Increasing caster the full 3 degrees effectively reduces camber of the outboard wheel in a turn 1.5
degrees. Increasing caster more than 3 degrees is not recommended since this may cause
complaints of wheel shimmy and/or excessive steering efforts. Also, caster should not be increased
on vehicles built since April 1, 1984. These vehicles have the 3 degree caster increase already built
into the axles which have axle part numbers E4UA-6-BA and E4UA-7-BA embossed on the face of
each axle.
Three other significant factors may also contribute to outboard shoulder wear. They are excessive
toe-in (generally greater than 5/32 inch), excessive cornering speeds, and low tire pressure. After
any adjustments to front end alignment, toe should be adjusted to zero. On vehicles subject to
extensive city-delivery use, toe may be set up to 1/16 inch toe-out for optimum tire life.

Article No. 89-9-16
LIGHT TRUCK: 1984-89 ALL LIGHT TRUCK LINES
ISSUE: Tire wear can be affected by inflation and load. Good tread life is dependent on maintaining
proper air pressure in the tires. Other factors that affect tire wear are:
^ alignment
^ speed
^ road surfaces
ACTION: Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressures to obtain maximum tread life. Use the
following charts and procedures to arrive at the best tire pressure for each load application.
FIGURE 1
The chart in Figure 1 shows the affect of inflation and load on tire tread life. Use the chart by finding
the specified inflation pressure for the vehicle as shown on the certification label and locating that
pressure on the specified inflation pressure on the chart. The affects of actual air pressure and load
can now be read directly off the chart.
Tire load carrying capacity is a function of tire design and inflation pressures. Each tire has molded
into the sidewall a maximum pressure for a specific usage. Use the following guidelines to
determine load carrying capacity.

FIGURE 2
^ For P-metric passenger tires on passenger cars, the values are as shown on the tire.
^ For P-metric passenger tires on light trucks, the load ratings are reduced to 91% to reflect the
"harsher" truck environment, Figure 2.
^ For light truck style tires used on light trucks, the values are as shown for tires used in single
wheel applications.
^ For light truck style tires used in dual wheel applications, the tire capacities are derated.
Often, inflation pressures for specific vehicles are less than maximum capacity because the load to
be carried is less than the maximum tire capacity.
Inflation pressures for originally installed size tires on a vehicle are shown on the vehicle
certification label along with the tire size and rated capacity for the axle system. Check the size and
inflation information on the label to properly inflate the tires. Be sure that the same size tire is
actually on the vehicle and then inflate it to the label's specified pressure. If other than original size
tires are on the vehicle, the label's pressures are probably not correct
To find proper pressures for other than original tires, use the following procedure.
1. Obtain both front and rear axle capacity ratings (GAWRR and GAWRF).
2. Divide each number by 2 to obtain the capacity at the tire.

1983-87 E-150
ISSUE: "Body boom" and driveline vibration between the speeds of 35 and 65 mph (56 and 105
km/h) may be caused by one or more vehicle component areas. The vibration and boom are
usually more noticeable when the AOD transmission is operating in overdrive, but may also occur
when the AOD transmission is operating in third gear. In most cases there is more than one factor
causing the NVH concern.
ACTION: To correct this, use the following diagnostic procedures and the 1987 Light Truck Shop
Manual, Section 18-01 to determine which vehicle components require attention. The diagnostic
procedures should be followed in the order in which they appear in this TSB article. After the
completion of each section the vehicle should be road tested to determine if the condition has been
corrected. If the condition is still present, proceed to the next section. An Econoline NVH diagnostic
chart is on page 52 of this TSB to assist in concern identification.
Wheels & Tires, Chassis Groundout & Exhaust System
Wheels and Tires
1. Make sure the front wheels are centered on the rotor hub pilot and the rear wheels are centered
on the rear drum pilot by using the Rotunda Runout Gauge, 007-00014 to check wheel and tire
assembly runout.
NOTE: Special attention should be given to vehicles equipped with aftermarket aluminum wheels.
2. If incorrect wheel and tire assembly runout is found, loosen the lug nuts, rotate the wheel and tire
assembly and carefully retighten the lug nuts finger tight.
3. Recheck the wheel and tire assembly runout while rotating the wheel and tire assembly. If the
runout is okay, torque the lug nuts to 100 ft.lbs. (136 N-m). If runout is still incorrect, service as
required.
Body to Chassis Groundout
1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist and make sure the mounting bolts from aftermarket seats and safety
belt anchors are not grounded to the frame, service as required.
2. Check to make sure the running boards are not grounded to the frame, service as required.
3. Make sure the exhaust system is not grounded to the frame, service as required.
Exhaust System
1. Check to make sure an exhaust bind-up condition is not present by using the following steps:
a. Road test the vehicle to determine if a "drone" noise is present each time the transmission shifts
from one gear to the next between 0 and 65 MPH (0 and 105 km/h).
b. If "drone" noise is present, apply the parking brake, depress the brake pedal and brake torque
engine to simulate condition. The "drone" should appear around 1800 to 2000 RPM.
c. Remove the exhaust system hanger in front and behind the muffler.
d. Repeat Step b. If "drone" is gone, loosen the "Y" pipe at the exhaust manifold and the muffler.
e. Reposition the exhaust system upward to eliminate stress on the two (2) hangers. Retighten the
"Y" pipe to specification.
NOTE: On 1987 vehicles, remove the front hanger bracket from the cross member. Knock out the
existing retainer bolts from the hanger. Reinstall the bracket with longer bolts and add 1/4" to 1/2"
stack of washers to each bolt between the bracket and cross member. This will make sure the
rubber isolator is in a neutral position.

Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Tires: > 88717033088 > Mar > 88 > Vehicle - Body Boom Between 35
and 65 MPH > Page 5335
1. Make sure the driveshaft runout does not exceed .035". Refer to the Light Truck Shop Manual,
Section 18-01-8.
2. If runout exceeds .035", install a new driveshaft. Refer to the driveshaft application chart on page
49 of this TSB for the correct service part number.
3. Make sure the drive shaft U-joints are not worn. Check for a hard to move U-joint or a U-joint that
catches when moved from side to side.
NOTE: If it is necessary to replace a U-joint, refer to the following "Road Test" procedure to make
sure a driveshaft imbalance is not caused by the U-joint replacement.
4. If the U-joints are okay, mark the driveshaft-to-axle flange with paint to aid in re-indexing.
5. Remove the driveshaft from the axle flange and re-index 180 degrees.
6. Road test the vehicle.
NOTE: If the noise and vibration are still present or not acceptable, proceed to the "Road Test"
procedure below.
Road Test Procedure
1. Select a road where the vehicle can be safely operated at speeds from 25 to 65 MPH (40 to 105
km/h).
2. Slowly accelerate from 25 to 65 MPH (40 to 105 km/h) and observe the speed where the noise
and vibration occur. Carefully watch the 35 to 45 MPH (56 to 72 km/h) range.
3. Shift into neutral at 65 MPH (105 km/h) and coast down to 25 MPH (40 km/h) noting at what
speed the noise and vibration occur.
^ If the noise and vibration were not present during coast down, the NVH concern is not with an
imbalanced driveshaft.
^ Vibrations during a neutral coastdown from 65 to 45 MPH (105 to 72 km/h) indicate an
imbalanced driveshaft and/or imbalanced wheel and tire assemblies.
^ Vibrations from 35 to 45 MPH (56 to 72 km/h) indicate an imbalanced driveshaft.
^ Vibration from improperly balanced wheel and tire assemblies are normally FELT in the steering
wheel and seats and do not have body "boom" noise associated with it. If this is the case, balance
all four (4) wheel and tire assemblies.

^ An improperly balanced driveshaft will usually have an audible noise or body "boom" noise. If this
is the case, balance or replace the driveshaft.
Driveshaft Balance & Rear Springs & Axle Information
Driveshaft Balance
1. Raise the vehicle on a twin post hoist.
2. Start the engine, engage the transmission and run up to vibration speed.
NOTE: Observe the level of vibration in the seat and steering wheel.
3. Have an assistant install one hose clamp at the rear of the driveshaft. Position the clamp with the
screw head lined up with the existing balance weights on the driveshaft.
4. Start engine and run up to vibration speed. If the vibration got worse, rotate the clamp 180
degrees. Continue the procedure of rotating at 90 degree increments until all four (4) quadrants
have been evaluated. Choose the best position and tighten clamp.
5. If vibration is still present, install a second clamp in the same position as the one installed in Step
4.
6. If vibration increases, scribe a line on the driveshaft at the screwhead locations.
7. Rotate one (1) clamp a 1/2" clockwise and the other 1/2" counterclockwise. Move the clamps
further apart or closer together as required to "FINE TUNE" the system.
Rear Springs
1. Make sure rear springs are the six leaf design.
2. If not, install two (2) new six leaf springs, (D6UZ-5560-D).
Rear Axle
1. If the condition is still present after all the above sections have been completed, road test the
vehicle to determine if the correct driveline angle is present or a new ring and pinion assembly is
required.
2. Drive vehicle about 10-12 miles (16-19 kilometers).
3. With the transmission in overdrive for AOD transmission or in drive for C6 transmissions,
accelerate to 50 MPH (80 km/h). Slowly increase the speed to 65 MPH (105 km/h) noting at what
speed the noise and vibration occur.
4. Shift into neutral and coast down to 50 MPH (80 km/h). Observe whether or "boom" noise is
present and at what speed.
5. If "boom" is only present in drive, measure the angle between the driveshaft and axle. If greater
than 2 degrees, shim the axle at the spring seats to achieve a 1 degree angle.
6. Road test the vehicle. If the "boom" is still present, install a special "low" pitch line runout (PLRO)
rear axle ring and pinion set. Refer to the following ring and pinion application chart.

Certain model vehicles have a significant weight change on the front axle between manufacture by
Ford and placement into service. This occurs when incomplete vehicles are completed by a body
company or when equipment is added to a complete vehicle (i.e., winches, plows, tool boxes, etc.).
This weight change can affect toe setting so these vehicles require that toe be reset.

Article No. 85-19-16
TIRE WEAR - FRONT - OUTSIDE EDGE
LIGHT TRUCK 1976-86 E100-150
Outboard shoulder wear, predominantly in lightly loaded city-delivery type use, is aggravated by
excessive positive wheel camber in turning. The caster adjustment kit described in TSB 85-19-15
can be used to increase caster of either wheel up to 3 degrees in 1/2 degree increments. The kit
contains complete instructions for modifying the front radius arms and mounting a metal adjusting
cam to the bottom flange of each radius arm. Cams must be arc-welded a minimum of one inch
along two sides of the cam to the lower flange of the radius arm.
Increasing caster the full 3 degrees effectively reduces camber of the outboard wheel in a turn 1.5
degrees. Increasing caster more than 3 degrees is not recommended since this may cause
complaints of wheel shimmy and/or excessive steering efforts. Also, caster should not be increased
on vehicles built since April 1, 1984. These vehicles have the 3 degree caster increase already built
into the axles which have axle part numbers E4UA-6-BA and E4UA-7-BA embossed on the face of
each axle.
Three other significant factors may also contribute to outboard shoulder wear. They are excessive
toe-in (generally greater than 5/32 inch), excessive cornering speeds, and low tire pressure. After
any adjustments to front end alignment, toe should be adjusted to zero. On vehicles subject to
extensive city-delivery use, toe may be set up to 1/16 inch toe-out for optimum tire life.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1984-89 ALL LIGHT TRUCK LINES
ISSUE: Tire wear can be affected by inflation and load. Good tread life is dependent on maintaining
proper air pressure in the tires. Other factors that affect tire wear are:
^ alignment
^ speed
^ road surfaces
ACTION: Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressures to obtain maximum tread life. Use the
following charts and procedures to arrive at the best tire pressure for each load application.
FIGURE 1
The chart in Figure 1 shows the affect of inflation and load on tire tread life. Use the chart by finding
the specified inflation pressure for the vehicle as shown on the certification label and locating that
pressure on the specified inflation pressure on the chart. The affects of actual air pressure and load
can now be read directly off the chart.
Tire load carrying capacity is a function of tire design and inflation pressures. Each tire has molded
into the sidewall a maximum pressure for a specific usage. Use the following guidelines to
determine load carrying capacity.

FIGURE 2
^ For P-metric passenger tires on passenger cars, the values are as shown on the tire.
^ For P-metric passenger tires on light trucks, the load ratings are reduced to 91% to reflect the
"harsher" truck environment, Figure 2.
^ For light truck style tires used on light trucks, the values are as shown for tires used in single
wheel applications.
^ For light truck style tires used in dual wheel applications, the tire capacities are derated.
Often, inflation pressures for specific vehicles are less than maximum capacity because the load to
be carried is less than the maximum tire capacity.
Inflation pressures for originally installed size tires on a vehicle are shown on the vehicle
certification label along with the tire size and rated capacity for the axle system. Check the size and
inflation information on the label to properly inflate the tires. Be sure that the same size tire is
actually on the vehicle and then inflate it to the label's specified pressure. If other than original size
tires are on the vehicle, the label's pressures are probably not correct
To find proper pressures for other than original tires, use the following procedure.
1. Obtain both front and rear axle capacity ratings (GAWRR and GAWRF).
2. Divide each number by 2 to obtain the capacity at the tire.

3. For single wheel usage, look up the pressure in the proper chart which will meet the needed
capacity, Figure 3.
4. Check the tire side wall label to see if it permits inflation to that pressure. If lower load range tires
were installed (i.e., C vs. D or E), the tires may not have the needed capability.
5. Divide the value found in Step 2 by 2 again to obtain individual tire requirements for dual rear
wheels.
6. Using a dual wheel inflation pressure chart, Figure 3, determine correct pressure to achieve
adequate load capacities.
7. Consult the local tire outlet or the tire manufacturer's home office about tires not shown in the

ISSUE: Wheel vibration may be caused by distorted pilot holes or lug holes on the wheel. This
does not allow sufficient clamp load between the lug nut, the wheel and the rotor/hub. It may also
be difficult to remove the distorted wheel from the vehicle or to place the wheel on the vehicle in a
different location.
ACTION: To determine if a wheel has been damaged and should not be reused, refer to the
following service procedure for details.
NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE ONLY APPLIES TO PART # E7UA-1015-JA (16 X 6 SINGLE STEEL
WHEEL)
INSPECT FOR WHEEL DAMAGE
1. Remove the wheel from the hub. If the wheel is difficult to remove, DO NOT reuse the wheel.
2. Visually inspect the wheel for distortion (turned-up) scallops in the pilot hole. If the pilot hole is
distorted, DO NOT reuse the wheel.
3. Inspect the distorted lug holes by placing a lug nut in the lug hole cone seat of the wheel and
inspect from the reverse side. If the lug protrudes through the lug hole, DO NOT reuse the wheel.
4. Inspect the wheel mounting surface for distortion.
a. Lay a straight edge across the mounting surface of the wheel (the surface of the wheel which
makes contact with the rear brake drum or front rotor).
b. The straight edge should contact the outer edge of the mounting surface, lying between the bolt
holes and across the center of the pilot hole.
c. The clearance between the straight edge and the pilot hole can not exceed 0.0300 inch, the
straight edge should not contact the pilot holes. If the clearance is more than 0.0300 or the straight
edge makes contact with the pilot holes, DO NOT reuse the wheel.
INSTALL WHEEL
1. Inspect for lubricants on the studs and lug nuts.
2. If lubricants are present, clean throughly using naphtha or equivalent.
3. Torque lug nuts to (140 ft.lbs./190 N-m) using a torque wrench according to the Shop Manual,
Section 04-04.
CAUTION: EXCESSIVE TORQUE MAY CAUSE DISTORTION OF THE WHEEL. INADEQUATE

procedures should be followed in the order in which they appear in this TSB article. After the
completion of each section the vehicle should be road tested to determine if the condition has been
corrected. If the condition is still present, proceed to the next section. An Econoline NVH diagnostic
chart is on page 52 of this TSB to assist in concern identification.
Wheels & Tires, Chassis Groundout & Exhaust System
Wheels and Tires
1. Make sure the front wheels are centered on the rotor hub pilot and the rear wheels are centered
on the rear drum pilot by using the Rotunda Runout Gauge, 007-00014 to check wheel and tire
assembly runout.
NOTE: Special attention should be given to vehicles equipped with aftermarket aluminum wheels.
2. If incorrect wheel and tire assembly runout is found, loosen the lug nuts, rotate the wheel and tire
assembly and carefully retighten the lug nuts finger tight.
3. Recheck the wheel and tire assembly runout while rotating the wheel and tire assembly. If the
runout is okay, torque the lug nuts to 100 ft.lbs. (136 N-m). If runout is still incorrect, service as
required.
Body to Chassis Groundout
1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist and make sure the mounting bolts from aftermarket seats and safety
belt anchors are not grounded to the frame, service as required.
2. Check to make sure the running boards are not grounded to the frame, service as required.
3. Make sure the exhaust system is not grounded to the frame, service as required.
Exhaust System
1. Check to make sure an exhaust bind-up condition is not present by using the following steps:
a. Road test the vehicle to determine if a "drone" noise is present each time the transmission shifts
from one gear to the next between 0 and 65 MPH (0 and 105 km/h).
b. If "drone" noise is present, apply the parking brake, depress the brake pedal and brake torque
engine to simulate condition. The "drone" should appear around 1800 to 2000 RPM.
c. Remove the exhaust system hanger in front and behind the muffler.
d. Repeat Step b. If "drone" is gone, loosen the "Y" pipe at the exhaust manifold and the muffler.
e. Reposition the exhaust system upward to eliminate stress on the two (2) hangers. Retighten the
"Y" pipe to specification.
NOTE: On 1987 vehicles, remove the front hanger bracket from the cross member. Knock out the
existing retainer bolts from the hanger. Reinstall the bracket with longer bolts and add 1/4" to 1/2"
stack of washers to each bolt between the bracket and cross member. This will make sure the
rubber isolator is in a neutral position.

1. Make sure the driveshaft runout does not exceed .035". Refer to the Light Truck Shop Manual,
Section 18-01-8.
2. If runout exceeds .035", install a new driveshaft. Refer to the driveshaft application chart on page
49 of this TSB for the correct service part number.
3. Make sure the drive shaft U-joints are not worn. Check for a hard to move U-joint or a U-joint that
catches when moved from side to side.
NOTE: If it is necessary to replace a U-joint, refer to the following "Road Test" procedure to make
sure a driveshaft imbalance is not caused by the U-joint replacement.
4. If the U-joints are okay, mark the driveshaft-to-axle flange with paint to aid in re-indexing.
5. Remove the driveshaft from the axle flange and re-index 180 degrees.
6. Road test the vehicle.
NOTE: If the noise and vibration are still present or not acceptable, proceed to the "Road Test"
procedure below.
Road Test Procedure
1. Select a road where the vehicle can be safely operated at speeds from 25 to 65 MPH (40 to 105
km/h).
2. Slowly accelerate from 25 to 65 MPH (40 to 105 km/h) and observe the speed where the noise
and vibration occur. Carefully watch the 35 to 45 MPH (56 to 72 km/h) range.
3. Shift into neutral at 65 MPH (105 km/h) and coast down to 25 MPH (40 km/h) noting at what
speed the noise and vibration occur.
^ If the noise and vibration were not present during coast down, the NVH concern is not with an
imbalanced driveshaft.
^ Vibrations during a neutral coastdown from 65 to 45 MPH (105 to 72 km/h) indicate an
imbalanced driveshaft and/or imbalanced wheel and tire assemblies.
^ Vibrations from 35 to 45 MPH (56 to 72 km/h) indicate an imbalanced driveshaft.
^ Vibration from improperly balanced wheel and tire assemblies are normally FELT in the steering
wheel and seats and do not have body "boom" noise associated with it. If this is the case, balance
all four (4) wheel and tire assemblies.

^ An improperly balanced driveshaft will usually have an audible noise or body "boom" noise. If this
is the case, balance or replace the driveshaft.
Driveshaft Balance & Rear Springs & Axle Information
Driveshaft Balance
1. Raise the vehicle on a twin post hoist.
2. Start the engine, engage the transmission and run up to vibration speed.
NOTE: Observe the level of vibration in the seat and steering wheel.
3. Have an assistant install one hose clamp at the rear of the driveshaft. Position the clamp with the
screw head lined up with the existing balance weights on the driveshaft.
4. Start engine and run up to vibration speed. If the vibration got worse, rotate the clamp 180
degrees. Continue the procedure of rotating at 90 degree increments until all four (4) quadrants
have been evaluated. Choose the best position and tighten clamp.
5. If vibration is still present, install a second clamp in the same position as the one installed in Step
4.
6. If vibration increases, scribe a line on the driveshaft at the screwhead locations.
7. Rotate one (1) clamp a 1/2" clockwise and the other 1/2" counterclockwise. Move the clamps
further apart or closer together as required to "FINE TUNE" the system.
Rear Springs
1. Make sure rear springs are the six leaf design.
2. If not, install two (2) new six leaf springs, (D6UZ-5560-D).
Rear Axle
1. If the condition is still present after all the above sections have been completed, road test the
vehicle to determine if the correct driveline angle is present or a new ring and pinion assembly is
required.
2. Drive vehicle about 10-12 miles (16-19 kilometers).
3. With the transmission in overdrive for AOD transmission or in drive for C6 transmissions,
accelerate to 50 MPH (80 km/h). Slowly increase the speed to 65 MPH (105 km/h) noting at what
speed the noise and vibration occur.
4. Shift into neutral and coast down to 50 MPH (80 km/h). Observe whether or "boom" noise is
present and at what speed.
5. If "boom" is only present in drive, measure the angle between the driveshaft and axle. If greater
than 2 degrees, shim the axle at the spring seats to achieve a 1 degree angle.
6. Road test the vehicle. If the "boom" is still present, install a special "low" pitch line runout (PLRO)
rear axle ring and pinion set. Refer to the following ring and pinion application chart.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1985-91 E-250-350, F-250-350
ISSUE: Wheel vibration may be caused by distorted pilot holes or lug holes on the wheel. This
does not allow sufficient clamp load between the lug nut, the wheel and the rotor/hub. It may also
be difficult to remove the distorted wheel from the vehicle or to place the wheel on the vehicle in a
different location.
ACTION: To determine if a wheel has been damaged and should not be reused, refer to the
following service procedure for details.
NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE ONLY APPLIES TO PART # E7UA-1015-JA (16 X 6 SINGLE STEEL
WHEEL)
INSPECT FOR WHEEL DAMAGE
1. Remove the wheel from the hub. If the wheel is difficult to remove, DO NOT reuse the wheel.
2. Visually inspect the wheel for distortion (turned-up) scallops in the pilot hole. If the pilot hole is
distorted, DO NOT reuse the wheel.
3. Inspect the distorted lug holes by placing a lug nut in the lug hole cone seat of the wheel and
inspect from the reverse side. If the lug protrudes through the lug hole, DO NOT reuse the wheel.
4. Inspect the wheel mounting surface for distortion.
a. Lay a straight edge across the mounting surface of the wheel (the surface of the wheel which
makes contact with the rear brake drum or front rotor).
b. The straight edge should contact the outer edge of the mounting surface, lying between the bolt
holes and across the center of the pilot hole.
c. The clearance between the straight edge and the pilot hole can not exceed 0.0300 inch, the
straight edge should not contact the pilot holes. If the clearance is more than 0.0300 or the straight
edge makes contact with the pilot holes, DO NOT reuse the wheel.
INSTALL WHEEL
1. Inspect for lubricants on the studs and lug nuts.
2. If lubricants are present, clean throughly using naphtha or equivalent.
3. Torque lug nuts to (140 ft.lbs./190 N-m) using a torque wrench according to the Shop Manual,
Section 04-04.
CAUTION: EXCESSIVE TORQUE MAY CAUSE DISTORTION OF THE WHEEL. INADEQUATE
TORQUE MAY NOT PROVIDE

TRUCK:
1983-87 E-150
ISSUE: "Body boom" and driveline vibration between the speeds of 35 and 65 mph (56 and 105
km/h) may be caused by one or more vehicle component areas. The vibration and boom are
usually more noticeable when the AOD transmission is operating in overdrive, but may also occur
when the AOD transmission is operating in third gear. In most cases there is more than one factor
causing the NVH concern.
ACTION: To correct this, use the following diagnostic procedures and the 1987 Light Truck Shop
Manual, Section 18-01 to determine which vehicle components require attention. The diagnostic
procedures should be followed in the order in which they appear in this TSB article. After the
completion of each section the vehicle should be road tested to determine if the condition has been
corrected. If the condition is still present, proceed to the next section. An Econoline NVH diagnostic
chart is on page 52 of this TSB to assist in concern identification.
Wheels & Tires, Chassis Groundout & Exhaust System
Wheels and Tires
1. Make sure the front wheels are centered on the rotor hub pilot and the rear wheels are centered
on the rear drum pilot by using the Rotunda Runout Gauge, 007-00014 to check wheel and tire
assembly runout.
NOTE: Special attention should be given to vehicles equipped with aftermarket aluminum wheels.
2. If incorrect wheel and tire assembly runout is found, loosen the lug nuts, rotate the wheel and tire
assembly and carefully retighten the lug nuts finger tight.
3. Recheck the wheel and tire assembly runout while rotating the wheel and tire assembly. If the
runout is okay, torque the lug nuts to 100 ft.lbs. (136 N-m). If runout is still incorrect, service as
required.
Body to Chassis Groundout
1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist and make sure the mounting bolts from aftermarket seats and safety
belt anchors are not grounded to the frame, service as required.
2. Check to make sure the running boards are not grounded to the frame, service as required.
3. Make sure the exhaust system is not grounded to the frame, service as required.
Exhaust System
1. Check to make sure an exhaust bind-up condition is not present by using the following steps:
a. Road test the vehicle to determine if a "drone" noise is present each time the transmission shifts
from one gear to the next between 0 and 65 MPH (0 and 105 km/h).
b. If "drone" noise is present, apply the parking brake, depress the brake pedal and brake torque
engine to simulate condition. The "drone" should appear around 1800 to 2000 RPM.
c. Remove the exhaust system hanger in front and behind the muffler.
d. Repeat Step b. If "drone" is gone, loosen the "Y" pipe at the exhaust manifold and the muffler.
e. Reposition the exhaust system upward to eliminate stress on the two (2) hangers. Retighten the
"Y" pipe to specification.
NOTE: On 1987 vehicles, remove the front hanger bracket from the cross member. Knock out the
existing retainer bolts from the hanger. Reinstall the bracket with longer bolts and add 1/4" to 1/2"
stack of washers to each bolt between the bracket and cross member. This will make sure the

catches when moved from side to side.
NOTE: If it is necessary to replace a U-joint, refer to the following "Road Test" procedure to make
sure a driveshaft imbalance is not caused by the U-joint replacement.
4. If the U-joints are okay, mark the driveshaft-to-axle flange with paint to aid in re-indexing.
5. Remove the driveshaft from the axle flange and re-index 180 degrees.
6. Road test the vehicle.
NOTE: If the noise and vibration are still present or not acceptable, proceed to the "Road Test"
procedure below.
Road Test Procedure
1. Select a road where the vehicle can be safely operated at speeds from 25 to 65 MPH (40 to 105
km/h).
2. Slowly accelerate from 25 to 65 MPH (40 to 105 km/h) and observe the speed where the noise
and vibration occur. Carefully watch the 35 to 45 MPH (56 to 72 km/h) range.
3. Shift into neutral at 65 MPH (105 km/h) and coast down to 25 MPH (40 km/h) noting at what
speed the noise and vibration occur.
^ If the noise and vibration were not present during coast down, the NVH concern is not with an
imbalanced driveshaft.
^ Vibrations during a neutral coastdown from 65 to 45 MPH (105 to 72 km/h) indicate an
imbalanced driveshaft and/or imbalanced wheel and tire assemblies.
^ Vibrations from 35 to 45 MPH (56 to 72 km/h) indicate an imbalanced driveshaft.
^ Vibration from improperly balanced wheel and tire assemblies are normally FELT in the steering
wheel and seats and do not have body "boom" noise associated with it. If this is the case, balance
all four (4) wheel and tire assemblies.

Figure 4 - REAR WHEEL LUG NUT USAGE
WARNING: Use only integral two-piece swiveling lug nuts on 1985 vehicles equipped with dual
rear wheels. Do not attempt to use cone shaped onepiece lug nuts on these vehicles. If used on
wrong wheels, cone shaped one-piece lug nuts can come loose in vehicle operation. Do not
attempt to use wheels which have cone shaped lug nut seats on these vehicles. Intermixing of
different types of wheels can lead to damage to the wheel mounting system. Use of cone shaped
one-piece nuts or intermixing of wheels could allow wheels to come off while vehicle is in motion,
possibly causing loss of control and a collision. See Figure 4 of the attached sketch for lug nut

ISSUE: Some lug nuts may be difficult to remove due to nut crimping. The lug nuts are designed to
be free-running as opposed to a "prevailing" torque style. The freerunning nuts may have "crimped
in" against the stud when torqued.
ACTION: To correct this, use new replacement nuts which will not "crimp in" when tightened to the
recommended torque of 140 ft.lbs. (190 N-m).
CAUTION: Lug nuts should be torqued by hand, not with an impact wrench, and retorqued at
intervals specified in the Owner Guide.

ISSUE: The use of air impact tools to tighten wheel lug nuts can lead to overtightened and/or
unevenly tightened wheel lug nuts. Air impact tools typically used for wheel lug nut removal and
installation can generate up to 475 N.m (350 lb-ft) of torque. Overtightened and/or unevenly
torqued wheel lug nuts may cause:
^ Brake vibration
^ Distortion of the wheel hub
^ Distortion of the brake rotor

^ Brake rotor runout
^ Damage to the wheel
^ Damage to the wheel nuts and studs
ACTION: All wheel lug nuts should only be tightened to specification using a torque wrench or by
using the Rotunda ACCUTORO 164-R0314 or equivalent on a 1/2" drive air impact tool. The
"ACCUTORO" lug nut sockets limit the torque of the air impact tool, preventing overtightening or
uneven tightening of the wheel lug nuts. The torque limiting devices (regulators) on air impact tools
will not reduce the output torque enough to prevent overtightening of the wheel lug nuts.

NOTE:
REFER TO THE APPROPRIATE SERVICE MANUAL OR THE CHART IN FIGURE 1 FOR THE
CORRECT WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE SPECIFICATION. THE CHART IN FIGURE 1 ALSO
PROVIDES THE CORRECT "ACCUTORO" LUG NUT SOCKET TO USE.
The "ACCUTORO" socket is intended for lug nut installation, not removal. When using the
"ACCUTORO" socket, the output torque of the air impact tool must be set to 217-339 N.m (160-250
lb-ft), usually this will be the lowest setting on the air impact tool.
The "ACCUTORO" lug nut sockets are available through Rotunda Equipment. The four-piece set
(164-R0314) fits most Ford Motor Company cars and light trucks. The tool set consists of four (4)
lug nut sockets and a storage case. The set can be ordered by calling Rotunda Equipment at
1-800-ROT-UNDA (768-8632).
CAUTION:
AIR IMPACT TOOLS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO TIGHTEN WHEEL LUG NUTS UNLESS THE
"ACCUTORO" LUG NUT SOCKET OF THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION IS USED.
NOTE:
DO NOT USE AIR IMPACT TOOLS ON LOCKING WHEEL LUG NUTS. THEY ARE TO BE
HAND-TORQUED ONLY.

should be deleted and the following note and Figures 4 and 5 of the attached sketches be added:
E350 and F350 vehicles with dual rear wheels are equipped with wheels (front/rear) which are
center piloted to the hub and are attached with integral two-piece, swiveling lug nuts. The lug nut
torque specification is 140 ft.lbs. +/- 15 ft.lbs. (right hand threads are used at all four wheel
locations). See Figure 5 of the attached sketches for description of the wheel attachments.
Figure 4 - REAR WHEEL LUG NUT USAGE
WARNING: Use only integral two-piece swiveling lug nuts on 1985 vehicles equipped with dual
rear wheels. Do not attempt to use cone shaped onepiece lug nuts on these vehicles. If used on
wrong wheels, cone shaped one-piece lug nuts can come loose in vehicle operation. Do not
attempt to use wheels which have cone shaped lug nut seats on these vehicles. Intermixing of
different types of wheels can lead to damage to the wheel mounting system. Use of cone shaped
one-piece nuts or intermixing of wheels could allow wheels to come off while vehicle is in motion,
possibly causing loss of control and a collision. See Figure 4 of the attached sketch for lug nut
description."

Lug Nut Torque Patterns
IMPORTANT
Check all parts, including rims, lug studs, lug nuts, and mating surfaces of hubs and tire rims for
rust, damage, or dirt. Clean mating surfaces with a wire brush to remove any foreign material.
Replace any damaged parts as needed. Careless installation of tire/rim assemblies in a vehicle is a
major cause of tire installation problems. Proper installation, including fastener torque, is essential
to economical, safe and trouble free service. Use only the proper sizes and types of fasteners for
safe and proper service. Tighten the fasteners a quarter turn at a time using the tightening
sequence diagram as a guide. This is very important to prevent misalignment of the wheel.
Continue tightening the fasteners in sequence until the fasteners are tightened to the proper torque
(See WHEEL FASTENER TORQUE).
CAUTION: Improper torque or tightening sequence can cause distortion, fatigue cracks, or
alignment problems. After driving the vehicle for a short distance, recheck the wheel fastener
torque. Parts will usually seat naturally, reducing the torque on the fasteners. Retorque all
fasteners to the proper torque.

This TSB is being republished in its entirety to include Labor Operations for system flushing.
ISSUE: Ford Motor Company has approved a procedure to provide technicians with a non-CFC
method of flushing contaminated A/C system heat exchangers (evaporators and condensers). This
procedure allows the A/C components to be cleaned and flushed while installed in the vehicle. The
types of contamination flushed include particle matter which results from compressor or desiccant
failure and the gummy residue which may form when refrigerant oil is overheated. Some Ford
authorized HFC-134a retrofit kit procedures will also require A/C system flushing to remove mineral
oil for capacity reasons.
ACTION: Refer to the following text for proper flushing procedures.
The flushing procedure is a two-step process which involves the use of an A/C Flusher. The
Flusher is used to do the following:
1. Circulate the flushing solvent through the A/C system heat exchangers in the reverse direction of
normal refrigerant flow (back flushing). Particle matter is filtered from the returning solvent and the
solvent is returned to the reservoir for continued circulation.
Ford E 150 Van Workshop Manual (V8-302 5.0L (1985))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Condenser HVAC > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Condenser HVAC: > 95184 > Sep > 95 > Air Conditioning - Approved Flushing
Procedures > Page 5539
2. Remove the flushing solvent from the A/C system. In this step, pressurized air (90-125
psi/620-862 kPa) is used to push and evaporate any remaining flush solvent from the heat
exchangers.
Only Rotunda Item No. 014-00990 A/C Flushing kit which includes 014-00991 A/C Flusher,
014-00992 A/C Flusher Filling Kit. and F4AZ-19579-A A/C Flushing Solvent (case of 4 gallons/15
L), is approved for use on Ford vehicles. No other flushing device or solvent is approved by Ford
Motor Company for flushing A/C systems. The use of other equipment or solvent may cause
damage to the A/C system and the flushing unit.
Minimum time for flushing is 15 minutes and minimum time for air flushing is 30 minutes. Failure to
continue air purge for the entire 30 minutes as specified may result in residual amounts of flush
solvent contaminating the A/C system. Residual flush solvent in a functioning A/C system may lead
to A/C system failure.
Do not flush through orifice tubes. TXVs, accumulator/driers, receiver/driers, mufflers or hoses.
Internal plumbing and material make-up of these components make it impossible to properly
remove the debris and/or residual flushing solvent.
One (1) gallon (3.8 L) of Ford A/C System Flushing Solvent is used in this device and is intended
for one (1) vehicle only. It may be used to flush both heat exchangers on an individual vehicle, but
under no circumstances should it be used on more than one (1) vehicle. The filter used when
flushing is also intended for use on one (1) vehicle only.
NOTE:
DURING THE FLUSHING PROCESS, THIS MATERIAL MAY COLLECT RESIDUE FROM THE
A/C SYSTEM, WHICH MAY INCLUDE CFC-12. DISPOSE OF THE SOLVENT AND FILTER IN
ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
Use of A/C system filter kits as prescribed in TSB 94-15-5 is optional if the A/C system is flushed.
Filter kit use is recommended after flushing if the system is highly contaminated. If the hoses are
clogged with debris, hose replacement is required.
Always remember to match oil properly, replace the accumulator/drier and orifice tube, or TXV and
receiver/drier when servicing an A/C system with a compressor or desiccant failure.
The following vehicles require A/C system flushing with retrofit kits to remove mineral oil for
capacity reasons.

high temperature/high humidity conditions when the system is operated in Norm A/C and high
blower.
In these cases, condensate collects in the temperature blend door area and leaks out the seams of
the blower case and/or becomes airborne and is expelled through the A/C registers.
Check to assure that the evaporator housing has been sealed and the straight condensate drain
tube has been installed as outlined in this article. Then, procure and install a new venturi tube and
deflector in the evaporator assembly using the following service procedure.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
A/C Condensate Leaks Into Passenger Compartment - Vehicles Built Prior To March, 1986
Due to improper condensate drainage, water can accumulate in the bottom of the temperature
blend door frame assembly and spill into the blower housing. If this condition occurs, insufficient
sealing at the blower housing to evaporator housing flange and at the blower scroll cover to blower
housing may allow leakage into the passenger compartment from these areas.
An accumulation of water in the blower housing may result in water being blown through the
register ducts and register outlets.
To correct the condition, one or more of the following service procedures should be initiated in the
sequence listed. They are to be initiated on a customer complaint basis.
NOTE: Operation of the blower at a lower speed than Hi will allow accumulated condensate to
drain out the drain tube. Therefore, operation of the blower below HI where possible, or periodic
reduction of the blower speed from HI, will significantly reduce moisture accumulation. Also, when
comfort will allow, operation of the air conditioner in MAX A/C rather than NORM A/C will reduce
condensate accumulation by reducing the humidity entering the vehicle.

A/C CONDENSATE LEAKS INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT - VEHICLES BUILT PRIOR TO
MARCH 1986
LIGHT TRUCK 1975-86 ECONOLINE
When a vehicle is operated under conditions of extremely high humidity with the Function Selector
Lever in the "NORM A/C" position and the blower switch in "HI", some evaporator condensate,
instead of draining out of the vehicle, is being blown through the ducts and registers and into the
passenger compartment.
Condensate from the evaporator core exceeds the amount which can be drawn off through the
drain tube in the evaporator case. As a result, the excess condensate can be pulled away from the
drain tube and picked up in the air stream created by the blower motor. It is then expelled through
the A/C registers. To correct the condition, one or more of the following service procedures should
be initiated in the sequence listed. They are to be initiated on a customer complaint basis. Vehicles
built prior to March, 1984 will continue to be serviced, as required, by all of the procedures covered
in TSB 85-11-16 in addition to the procedures provided in this article. Complaints requiring service
on vehicles built from March, 1984 to March, 1986 will be handled by following the sequence of
procedures in this article.
NOTE: Operation of the blower at a lower speed than HI will allow accumulated condensate to
drain out the drain tube. Therefore, operation of the blower below HI where possible, or periodic
reduction of the blower speed from HI, will significantly reduce moisture accumulation. Also, when
comfort will allow, operation of the air conditioner in MAX A/C rather than NORM A/C will reduce
condensate accumulation by reducing the humidity entering the vehicle.
SERVICE PROCEDURE:
1. The sealing and leak checking procedures previously published in TSB 85-11-16, dated 6/3/85,
must have already been performed, or should now be performed before proceeding with the added
service operations covered in this article.
2. Replace the evaporator check valve and drain tube assembly (including the 90~ formed drain
tube and check valve) with a new check valve and drain tube assembly.
3. If replacement of the evaporator drain tube assembly does not correct the condensate leak, add
a separate drain hole in the blower housing as outlined under "Addition of Drain to Blower,
Housing".
4. If the condition still persists, install a locally fabricated moisture coalescer screen as outlined
under "Addition of Coalescer Screen to Evaporator Assembly".
Sealing and Leak Checking Per TSB 85-11-16
1. Using TSB 85-11-16 as a guide, confirm that the sealing operations described have been
effectively accomplished.
2. If sealing is missing, apply it to the surfaces indicated in the TSB.

LIGHT TRUCK 1975-87 ECONOLINE
Condensate may leak from the blower motor area or be expelled through the A/C registers during
high temperature/high humidity conditions when the system is operated in Norm A/C and high
blower.
In these cases, condensate collects in the temperature blend door area and leaks out the seams of
the blower case and/or becomes airborne and is expelled through the A/C registers.
Check to assure that the evaporator housing has been sealed and the straight condensate drain
tube has been installed as outlined in this article. Then, procure and install a new venturi tube and
deflector in the evaporator assembly using the following service procedure.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
A/C Condensate Leaks Into Passenger Compartment - Vehicles Built Prior To March, 1986
Due to improper condensate drainage, water can accumulate in the bottom of the temperature
blend door frame assembly and spill into the blower housing. If this condition occurs, insufficient
sealing at the blower housing to evaporator housing flange and at the blower scroll cover to blower
housing may allow leakage into the passenger compartment from these areas.
An accumulation of water in the blower housing may result in water being blown through the
register ducts and register outlets.
To correct the condition, one or more of the following service procedures should be initiated in the
sequence listed. They are to be initiated on a customer complaint basis.
NOTE: Operation of the blower at a lower speed than Hi will allow accumulated condensate to
drain out the drain tube. Therefore, operation of the blower below HI where possible, or periodic
reduction of the blower speed from HI, will significantly reduce moisture accumulation. Also, when
comfort will allow, operation of the air conditioner in MAX A/C rather than NORM A/C will reduce
condensate accumulation by reducing the humidity entering the vehicle.

A/C CONDENSATE LEAKS INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT - VEHICLES BUILT PRIOR TO
MARCH 1986
LIGHT TRUCK 1975-86 ECONOLINE
When a vehicle is operated under conditions of extremely high humidity with the Function Selector
Lever in the "NORM A/C" position and the blower switch in "HI", some evaporator condensate,
instead of draining out of the vehicle, is being blown through the ducts and registers and into the
passenger compartment.
Condensate from the evaporator core exceeds the amount which can be drawn off through the
drain tube in the evaporator case. As a result, the excess condensate can be pulled away from the
drain tube and picked up in the air stream created by the blower motor. It is then expelled through
the A/C registers. To correct the condition, one or more of the following service procedures should
be initiated in the sequence listed. They are to be initiated on a customer complaint basis. Vehicles
built prior to March, 1984 will continue to be serviced, as required, by all of the procedures covered
in TSB 85-11-16 in addition to the procedures provided in this article. Complaints requiring service
on vehicles built from March, 1984 to March, 1986 will be handled by following the sequence of
procedures in this article.
NOTE: Operation of the blower at a lower speed than HI will allow accumulated condensate to
drain out the drain tube. Therefore, operation of the blower below HI where possible, or periodic
reduction of the blower speed from HI, will significantly reduce moisture accumulation. Also, when
comfort will allow, operation of the air conditioner in MAX A/C rather than NORM A/C will reduce
condensate accumulation by reducing the humidity entering the vehicle.
SERVICE PROCEDURE:
1. The sealing and leak checking procedures previously published in TSB 85-11-16, dated 6/3/85,
must have already been performed, or should now be performed before proceeding with the added
service operations covered in this article.
2. Replace the evaporator check valve and drain tube assembly (including the 90~ formed drain
tube and check valve) with a new check valve and drain tube assembly.
3. If replacement of the evaporator drain tube assembly does not correct the condensate leak, add
a separate drain hole in the blower housing as outlined under "Addition of Drain to Blower,
Housing".
4. If the condition still persists, install a locally fabricated moisture coalescer screen as outlined
under "Addition of Coalescer Screen to Evaporator Assembly".
Sealing and Leak Checking Per TSB 85-11-16
1. Using TSB 85-11-16 as a guide, confirm that the sealing operations described have been
effectively accomplished.
2. If sealing is missing, apply it to the surfaces indicated in the TSB.

This TSB is being republished in its entirety to include Labor Operations for system flushing.
ISSUE: Ford Motor Company has approved a procedure to provide technicians with a non-CFC
method of flushing contaminated A/C system heat exchangers (evaporators and condensers). This
procedure allows the A/C components to be cleaned and flushed while installed in the vehicle. The
types of contamination flushed include particle matter which results from compressor or desiccant
failure and the gummy residue which may form when refrigerant oil is overheated. Some Ford
authorized HFC-134a retrofit kit procedures will also require A/C system flushing to remove mineral
oil for capacity reasons.
ACTION: Refer to the following text for proper flushing procedures.
The flushing procedure is a two-step process which involves the use of an A/C Flusher. The
Flusher is used to do the following:
1. Circulate the flushing solvent through the A/C system heat exchangers in the reverse direction of
normal refrigerant flow (back flushing). Particle matter is filtered from the returning solvent and the
solvent is returned to the reservoir for continued circulation.
Ford E 150 Van Workshop Manual (V8-302 5.0L (1985))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Evaporator Core > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Air Conditioning - Approved Flushing Procedures > Page 5631
2. Remove the flushing solvent from the A/C system. In this step, pressurized air (90-125
psi/620-862 kPa) is used to push and evaporate any remaining flush solvent from the heat
exchangers.
Only Rotunda Item No. 014-00990 A/C Flushing kit which includes 014-00991 A/C Flusher,
014-00992 A/C Flusher Filling Kit. and F4AZ-19579-A A/C Flushing Solvent (case of 4 gallons/15
L), is approved for use on Ford vehicles. No other flushing device or solvent is approved by Ford
Motor Company for flushing A/C systems. The use of other equipment or solvent may cause
damage to the A/C system and the flushing unit.
Minimum time for flushing is 15 minutes and minimum time for air flushing is 30 minutes. Failure to
continue air purge for the entire 30 minutes as specified may result in residual amounts of flush
solvent contaminating the A/C system. Residual flush solvent in a functioning A/C system may lead
to A/C system failure.
Do not flush through orifice tubes. TXVs, accumulator/driers, receiver/driers, mufflers or hoses.
Internal plumbing and material make-up of these components make it impossible to properly
remove the debris and/or residual flushing solvent.
One (1) gallon (3.8 L) of Ford A/C System Flushing Solvent is used in this device and is intended
for one (1) vehicle only. It may be used to flush both heat exchangers on an individual vehicle, but
under no circumstances should it be used on more than one (1) vehicle. The filter used when
flushing is also intended for use on one (1) vehicle only.
NOTE:
DURING THE FLUSHING PROCESS, THIS MATERIAL MAY COLLECT RESIDUE FROM THE
A/C SYSTEM, WHICH MAY INCLUDE CFC-12. DISPOSE OF THE SOLVENT AND FILTER IN
ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
Use of A/C system filter kits as prescribed in TSB 94-15-5 is optional if the A/C system is flushed.
Filter kit use is recommended after flushing if the system is highly contaminated. If the hoses are
clogged with debris, hose replacement is required.
Always remember to match oil properly, replace the accumulator/drier and orifice tube, or TXV and
receiver/drier when servicing an A/C system with a compressor or desiccant failure.
The following vehicles require A/C system flushing with retrofit kits to remove mineral oil for
capacity reasons.

in TSB 85-11-16 in addition to the procedures provided in this article. Complaints requiring service
on vehicles built from March, 1984 to March, 1986 will be handled by following the sequence of
procedures in this article.
NOTE: Operation of the blower at a lower speed than HI will allow accumulated condensate to
drain out the drain tube. Therefore, operation of the blower below HI where possible, or periodic
reduction of the blower speed from HI, will significantly reduce moisture accumulation. Also, when
comfort will allow, operation of the air conditioner in MAX A/C rather than NORM A/C will reduce
condensate accumulation by reducing the humidity entering the vehicle.
SERVICE PROCEDURE:
1. The sealing and leak checking procedures previously published in TSB 85-11-16, dated 6/3/85,
must have already been performed, or should now be performed before proceeding with the added
service operations covered in this article.
2. Replace the evaporator check valve and drain tube assembly (including the 90~ formed drain
tube and check valve) with a new check valve and drain tube assembly.
3. If replacement of the evaporator drain tube assembly does not correct the condensate leak, add
a separate drain hole in the blower housing as outlined under "Addition of Drain to Blower,
Housing".
4. If the condition still persists, install a locally fabricated moisture coalescer screen as outlined
under "Addition of Coalescer Screen to Evaporator Assembly".
Sealing and Leak Checking Per TSB 85-11-16
1. Using TSB 85-11-16 as a guide, confirm that the sealing operations described have been
effectively accomplished.

Article No. 85-11-16
AIR CONDITIONING - INADEQUATE DRAINAGE FROM EVAPORATOR HOUSING
LIGHT TRUCK 1975-85 ECONOLINE
During conditions of high humidity and high blower operation, evaporator condensate leaks into the
passenger compartment from the A/C blower housing, blower housing to evaporator housing flange
and/or the A/C register outlets.
The fundamental cause of this leakage is that the blower is located downstream of the evaporator
core (draw through system), resulting in a negative housing pressure with respect to ambient.
During this condition of negative pressure, air flow can be drawn through the drain tube into the
housing opposing the flow of condensate drainage out of the drain tube. Also, air leakage into the
housing because of insufficient drain tube sealing can cause this concern.
Due to improper condensate drainage, water can accumulate in the bottom of the temperature
blend door frame assembly and spill into the blower housing. If this condition occurs, insufficient
sealing at the blower housing to evaporator housing flange and at the blower scroll cover to blower
housing may allow leakage into the passenger compartment from these areas.
An accumulation of water in the blower housing may result in water being blown through the
register ducts and register outlets.
PROCEDURE:
Install the new check valve drain tube assembly which completely shuts off air flow through the
drain tube, due to the negative pressure, yet allows water to drain freely under all housing negative
pressures encountered in service.
Due to manufacturing variations of evaporator assemblies, some units are more susceptible to
condensate accumulation and will require rework of the blend door frame and may necessitate
resealing the lower housing flange.
The following three drain tube systems may be reworked as outlined in the following paragraphs.

A/C CONDENSATE LEAKS INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT - VEHICLES BUILT PRIOR TO
MARCH 1986
LIGHT TRUCK 1975-86 ECONOLINE
When a vehicle is operated under conditions of extremely high humidity with the Function Selector
Lever in the "NORM A/C" position and the blower switch in "HI", some evaporator condensate,
instead of draining out of the vehicle, is being blown through the ducts and registers and into the
passenger compartment.
Condensate from the evaporator core exceeds the amount which can be drawn off through the
drain tube in the evaporator case. As a result, the excess condensate can be pulled away from the
drain tube and picked up in the air stream created by the blower motor. It is then expelled through
the A/C registers. To correct the condition, one or more of the following service procedures should
be initiated in the sequence listed. They are to be initiated on a customer complaint basis. Vehicles
built prior to March, 1984 will continue to be serviced, as required, by all of the procedures covered
in TSB 85-11-16 in addition to the procedures provided in this article. Complaints requiring service
on vehicles built from March, 1984 to March, 1986 will be handled by following the sequence of
procedures in this article.
NOTE: Operation of the blower at a lower speed than HI will allow accumulated condensate to
drain out the drain tube. Therefore, operation of the blower below HI where possible, or periodic
reduction of the blower speed from HI, will significantly reduce moisture accumulation. Also, when
comfort will allow, operation of the air conditioner in MAX A/C rather than NORM A/C will reduce
condensate accumulation by reducing the humidity entering the vehicle.

Addition of Coalescer Screen to Evaporator Assembly
The coalescer screen provides a barrier and collecting surface for water droplets which are
expelled from the evaporator core. The "U" shaped configuration in the direction of the airflow
allows water to flow along the screen surface toward the edges of the blend door frame and
downward to the bottom of the evaporator housing.

AIR CONDITIONING - INADEQUATE DRAINAGE FROM EVAPORATOR HOUSING
LIGHT TRUCK 1975-85 ECONOLINE
During conditions of high humidity and high blower operation, evaporator condensate leaks into the
passenger compartment from the A/C blower housing, blower housing to evaporator housing flange
and/or the A/C register outlets.
The fundamental cause of this leakage is that the blower is located downstream of the evaporator
core (draw through system), resulting in a negative housing pressure with respect to ambient.
During this condition of negative pressure, air flow can be drawn through the drain tube into the
housing opposing the flow of condensate drainage out of the drain tube. Also, air leakage into the
housing because of insufficient drain tube sealing can cause this concern.
Due to improper condensate drainage, water can accumulate in the bottom of the temperature
blend door frame assembly and spill into the blower housing. If this condition occurs, insufficient
sealing at the blower housing to evaporator housing flange and at the blower scroll cover to blower
housing may allow leakage into the passenger compartment from these areas.
An accumulation of water in the blower housing may result in water being blown through the
register ducts and register outlets.
PROCEDURE:
Install the new check valve drain tube assembly which completely shuts off air flow through the
drain tube, due to the negative pressure, yet allows water to drain freely under all housing negative
pressures encountered in service.
Due to manufacturing variations of evaporator assemblies, some units are more susceptible to
condensate accumulation and will require rework of the blend door frame and may necessitate
resealing the lower housing flange.
The following three drain tube systems may be reworked as outlined in the following paragraphs.

2. Remove the aspirator outlet drain tube assembly from the barbed connection of the plastic
evaporator drain tube projecting inboard from the bottom of the housing.
3. Remove the plastic evaporator drain tube and seal attached to the bottom of the evaporator
housing by removing the two attaching screws with a 5/16 inch socket. Inspect the plastic drain
tube for cracks or chips from the barbs which would provide an air leak path. Inspect the seal for
full sealing contact around the drain opening from the housing to the drain tube. If not properly
sealed, replace seal or apply silicone sealer to the seal surface to insure a complete seal. Install
seal, drain tube and attaching screws.
4. Plug aspirator air hose with rubber cap 382443-S or similar and tape hose out of the way on the
underside of evaporator housing.
5. Install the new check valve drain tube assembly, E5UZ-19858-B, to the barbed end of the plastic
drain tube projecting from the underside of the evaporator housing with the check valve down.
Blend Door Frame Rework and Resealing of Lower Housing Flanges
The plastic blend door frame assembly introduced to production in March 1984, requires the
addition of drain holes to prevent the accumulation of water. Add holes as follows:

Good heater cores are being returned through the parts return system coded as leaking.
Complaints of leaking may be caused by an inadequate seal between the heater hose and the
heater core tubes allowing coolant to follow the tube to the heater core, leak into the passenger
compartment and appear as a leaking heater core.
When diagnosing a suspect heater core leak, inspect the hose to heater core tube attachment to
assure the connection is not leaking. If a leaking connection is found, correct the leak. If the
connection appears not to be leaking, leak test the heater core before removing it from the vehicle
using the following procedure:
HEATER CORE LEAK TEST
Pressure Test 1.
Drain the coolant from the cooling system.
2. Disconnect the heater hoses from the heater core tubes.
3. Install a short piece of heater hose (approximately 4 inches long) on each heater core tube.
Figure 1
4. Fill the heater core and hoses with water and install plug BT-7422-B and adapter BT-7422-A
from Rotunda model 021-00012 or equivalent in the hose ends (Figure 1). Secure the hoses, plug
and adapter with hose clamps.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to add model year vehicles
ISSUE A number of non-approved/alternate refrigerants have entered the marketplace and are
being advertised as "drop-in replacements" for R-12 and R-134a. The use of non-approved
refrigerants such as R-22, hydrocarbons, and other refrigerant blends could cause safety,
durability, and performance concerns if they are installed in Ford A/C systems. Identification of the
type of refrigerant contained in vehicle A/C systems, before servicing, is necessary to prevent
dealer service equipment and refrigerant supplies from being contaminated with non-approved
refrigerants.
ACTION Refrigerant identification must be performed prior to recovering the refrigerant into a
recovery machine to prevent cross-contamination of the recovery machine and other A/C systems
being serviced with that recovery machine. Refer to the following text.

Ford Motor Company has approved the Rotunda Deluxe A/C Refrigerant Analyzer (198-00003) for
use on Ford and Lincoln-Mercury vehicles (Figure 1). The analyzer provides the technician with a
quick and easy way to identify the type and percentage of refrigerant (R-134a, R-12, R-22, or
flammable hydrocarbon). The analyzer can also provide the percentage of air in the A/C system
and automatically purge air from the system.
The A/C Refrigerant Analyzer is designed to identify vapor gas samples taken directly from
automotive air conditioning systems or refrigerant storage cylinders. Refrigerant vapor passes
through the multiple sensor Non-Dispersive Infra-Red (NDIR) sensing unit. The microprocessor
calculates each refrigerant type and purity percentage which is displayed on the analyzer's Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD).
The analyzer identifies the purity percentage of R-134a, R-12, R-22, hydrocarbon; and air in the
sample. If the purity percentage of the R-134a or R-12 is 98% or greater by weight, a green
"PASS" Light Emitting Diode (LED) will light. If refrigerants R-134a or R-12 do not meet 98% purity
levels, the red "FAIL" LED will light. Levels of R-22 and flammable hydrocarbons above 2% will
light the red "FAIL" light. If a hydrocarbon is detected above 5%, both the "FAIL" light and
"HYDROCARBON" light will illuminate and a horn will sound alerting the user of potential hazards.
The percent of air contained in the sample will be displayed if the R-134a or R-12 content is 98% or
above. The analyzer eliminates the effect of air

when determining the refrigerant sample content because air is not considered a contaminant
although air can affect A/C system performance. Air will automatically be purged until a pure
refrigerant with a less than 2% by weight air measurement is reached.
Recovery of Contaminated Refrigerant
If contaminated refrigerant is detected, DO NOT recover the refrigerant into your R-134a or R-12
recovery/recycling equipment. Take the following actions:
1. Repeat the test to verify contaminated refrigerant is present.
2. Advise the customer of the contaminated A/C system and any additional cost to repair the
system. The customer may wish to return to the service facility which performed the last A/C
service.
3. Recover the contaminated refrigerant using suitable recovery-only equipment designed for
capturing and storing contaminated refrigerant. This equipment must only be used to recover
contaminated refrigerant to prevent the spread to other vehicles. As an alternative, contact an A/C
service facility in your area which has the proper equipment for refrigerant recovery.
Repairing A Contaminated A/C System
Once the contaminated refrigerant is removed from the system it will be necessary to repair the
system. Ford recommends that you do the following to be sure a quality repair is made:
1. Determine the cause of the failure.
2. Determine which parts will need to be replaced.
3. Flush the heat exchangers to remove any oil that may be degraded due to the contaminated
refrigerant.
4. Install a new suction/accumulator.
5. Properly oil match the system to verify that the correct amount of clean refrigerant oil is present
in the system.
6. Evacuate the system for 45 minutes.
7. Recharge the system, verify proper operation, and leak test.

ISSUE A number of non-approved/alternate refrigerants have entered the marketplace and are
being advertised as "drop-in replacements" for R-12 and R-134a. The use of non-approved
refrigerants such as R-22, hydrocarbons, and other refrigerant blends could cause safety,
durability, and performance concerns if they are installed in Ford A/C systems. Identification of the
type of refrigerant contained in vehicle A/C systems, before servicing, is necessary to prevent
dealer service equipment and refrigerant supplies from being contaminated with non-approved
refrigerants.
ACTION Refrigerant identification must be performed prior to recovering the refrigerant into a
recovery machine to prevent cross-contamination of the recovery machine and other A/C systems
being serviced with that recovery machine. Refer to the following text.

Ford Motor Company has approved the Rotunda Deluxe A/C Refrigerant Analyzer (198-00003) for
use on Ford and Lincoln-Mercury vehicles (Figure 1). The analyzer provides the technician with a
quick and easy way to identify the type and percentage of refrigerant (R-134a, R-12, R-22, or
flammable hydrocarbon). The analyzer can also provide the percentage of air in the A/C system
and automatically purge air from the system.
The A/C Refrigerant Analyzer is designed to identify vapor gas samples taken directly from
automotive air conditioning systems or refrigerant storage cylinders. Refrigerant vapor passes
through the multiple sensor Non-Dispersive Infra-Red (NDIR) sensing unit. The microprocessor
calculates each refrigerant type and purity percentage which is displayed on the analyzer's Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD).
The analyzer identifies the purity percentage of R-134a, R-12, R-22, hydrocarbon; and air in the
sample. If the purity percentage of the R-134a or R-12 is 98% or greater by weight, a green
"PASS" Light Emitting Diode (LED) will light. If refrigerants R-134a or R-12 do not meet 98% purity
levels, the red "FAIL" LED will light. Levels of R-22 and flammable hydrocarbons above 2% will
light the red "FAIL" light. If a hydrocarbon is detected above 5%, both the "FAIL" light and
"HYDROCARBON" light will illuminate and a horn will sound alerting the user of potential hazards.
The percent of air contained in the sample will be displayed if the R-134a or R-12 content is 98% or
above. The analyzer eliminates the effect of air

In 1994, EPA established the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program to review
alternatives to ozone-depleting substances like R-12. EPA examines new substitutes for their
ozone depleting, global warming, flammability, and toxicity characteristics. The SNAP process does
not test these substitutes for A/C system compatibility, reliability, durability, or performance.
Under the SNAP rule, each new refrigerant must be used in accordance with the following
conditions:
1. Unique Fittings - Each new refrigerant must be used with a unique set of fittings to prevent the
accidental mixing of different refrigerants.
2. Unique Equipment - Each refrigerant must have dedicated recovery/recycling equipment for that
refrigerant.
3. Labels - Whether a vehicle is originally designed to use a new refrigerant or is retrofitted, the
technician must apply a detailed label giving specific information about the alternative. This label
covers up information about the old refrigerant and provides valuable details on the alternative and
how it was used. The technician is required to fill in their name, company performing the retrofit,
address and the date retrofitted.
4. Remove Original Refrigerant - The original R-12 must be removed from the system prior to
charging with the new refrigerant. This will guarantee that the largest amount of clean R-12 is
available for use in vehicles that still need it.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Refrigerant > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Technical Service Bulletins for Refrigerant: > Page 5744
5. Install pancake filter in the liquid line between the condenser and the orifice tube, Figure 1.
a. Be sure orifice inlet is toward the condenser.
b. Connections can be made using Test Adapter Set D93L-19703-B, or equivalent, and flexible
refrigerant hose of 2500 psi burst rating. Individual fittings are also available.
6. Remove the old compressor following Service/Workshop Manual procedures. Drain the oil into a
calibrated container.
7. Drain the oil from the replacement compressor into a clean calibrated container.
NOTE:
IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO TRANSFER THE MAGNET CLUTCH FROM THE OLD
COMPRESSOR TO THE REPLACEMENT COMPRESSOR. FOLLOW SERVICE/WORKSHOP
MANUAL PROCEDURES.
8. A new FX-15 service compressor contains 207 mL (7 oz.) of R-12 refrigerant oil. A new FS-10
service compressor does not contain any oil and can be used with an R-12 or an R-134a system.
CAUTION
REMEMBER TO USE YN-9-A (MINERAL) OIL WITH R-12 SYSTEMS AND YN-12-C (PAG) OIL
WITH R-134a SYSTEMS. FAILURE TO USE THE CORRECT REFRIGERANT OIL MAY RESULT
IN DAMAGE TO SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
^ If the amount of oil drained from the removed compressor is between 90 and 148 mL (3-5 oz),
pour the same amount of clean refrigerant oil into the new compressor.
^ If the amount of oil drained from the old compressor is greater than 90 mL (3 oz), pour 90 mL (3
oz) of clean refrigerant oil into the new compressor.
9. Install the new compressor following Service/Workshop Manual procedures. Make sure all
mounting bolts are tightened properly. Check the tension of the compressor drive belt. Adjust if
necessary.
10. Evacuate, charge and leak test the system, following Service/Workshop Manual procedures.
11. Check all refrigerant system hoses, lines and the position of the newly-installed filters to make
sure they do not interfere with other engine compartment components. If necessary, use tie straps
to make adjustments.
12. Set the A/C control on Max A/C, high blower and temperature control at full cold.
a. Start engine and let idle briefly.
b. Be sure A/C system is operating properly.

13. Gradually bring the engine up to 1200 rpm by running it at lower rpms for short periods (first at
800 rpm, then at 1000 rpm). Set the engine at 1200 rpm and run it for an hour with the A/C system
operating.
14. Stop the engine.
NOTE:
IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO RECOVER THE SYSTEM REFRIGERANT CHARGE BEFORE
PROCEEDING.
15. Allow the engine to cool sufficiently to remove the fittings, flexible hoses and pancake filter from
the liquid line.
16. Discard the filter. It can be used one (1) tie only.
17. Reconnect the liquid line back into the system.
18. Evacuate, charge and leak test the system. Make any necessary adjustments.
19. Check the operation of the system in all models.

The States of New York, New Jersey and Illinois recently enacted a mandatory seat belt usage law.
With these laws and impending similar belt usage legislation in other states, dealers can expect
customer inquiries regarding seat belts. The following information is being published in an effort to
refamiliarize dealership service personnel with seat and shoulder belt systems utilized over the
past several model years. Previous Service Recall and TSB articles pertaining to seat belt usage
and servicing are also included.
Section 1 -Identification of Seat Belt System Types For Model Years 1974-1985
There are three distinct types of seat belt systems. Two of the systems are three-point anchoring
systems. One three-point system has dual retractors; one retractor for the lap and one for the
shoulder belt. The other three-point system is the continuous loop single retractor system for the
lap and shoulder belts. The third system is a two-point system that contains a lap belt only which is
used for rear seat and front center passenger restraint.
Continuous Loop Three-Point System The continuous loop system has a moveable tongue on the
front outboard lap/shoulder belt and only one retractor.
Dual Retractor Three-Point System
The dual retractor system has a fixed tongue on the front outboard lap/shoulder belt. (Note that on
the Econoline for 1982-85 model years, the two retractors are on one frame attached to the seat
pedestal.)
Front Center/Rear Seat Two-Point System A 2-point system provides a lap belt only and applies to
the front seat center position and all rear seat positions. Rear outboard belts are equipped with
retractors, while front and rear center belts are not.
A.Continuous Loop Three-Point Shoulder/Lap Belt - System With Moveable Tongue and One
Retractor - 1976 to Present Cars and Ligh
Figure 5
The continuous loop three-point system (Figure 5) is used for front outboard passengers. The
outboard lap/shoulder belt uses a common moveable tongue. To fasten the seat belt, the tongue is
inserted into the inboard buckle. The webbing of the lap belt is anchored to the side of the body
without a

Service Bulletins > Seat/Shoulder Belts - General Service Information > Page 5796
retractor. The shoulder harness webbing has the other end fixed in a retractor, which is located on
the "B" pillar post or in the quarter panel. The shoulder harness retractor is designed to let the
webbing freely move in or out, except during sufficient vehicle deceleration, when it is automatically
locked by a mechanically actuated inertia sensor. The inboard (buckle) portion of the seat belt
assembly passes between the seat cushion and seat back on bench seat installations, and directly
to a fixed anchorage on the floor. On bucket seat installations, it is routed along the side of the seat
and is fastened to a slide bar. The slide bar is connected to the seat track, the seat, and the floor
pan. On LTD/Marquis and Thunderbird/Cougar, the buckle end passes between the seat and the
consolette and is connected to the seat track.
Attaching the tongue to the buckle secures the occupant with both lower and upper restraints. This
attachment of the tongue and buckle can be accomplished by a single continuous movement. This
system may also include a tension eliminator that is designed to release automatically when the
respective front door is opened. As the seatbelt is unbuckled, the tongue end of the belt should be
hand-guided back to the retractor to prevent the belt tongue from striking occupants or objects
nearby during retraction.
B.Dual Retractor Three-Point Shoulder/Lap System - 1974 to 1983 Cars and Light Trucks and
1974 to 1985 Econolines and Club Wago
Figure 4
The dual retractor three-point system is used for front outboard occupants (Figure 4). The lap belt
portion and shoulder harness are joined at the tongue. To secure the belt, the tongue is inserted
into the buckle of the inboard belt portion.

Figure 4
Figure 6
Except for the 1983-85 Econoline and Club Wagon, the webbing for the outboard lap belt extends
from the belt retractor located on the rocker panel that automatically locks when the belt is being
worn. This locking feature prevents the belt from being pulled out further, but allows the belt to
retract, thus maintaining a snug fit around the user for increased safety. This lap belt retractor is
located on or in the rocker panel (depending on car line and model - Figure 4) or on the seat
pedestal for 1983-85 Econoline and Club Wagon (Figure 6).

Ford Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Seat Belt Systems > Seat Belt > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Seat/Shoulder Belts - General Service Information > Page 5798
Figure 4
The shoulder harness webbing has one end fixed in a retractor (Figure 4) which is located in or on
the rocker panel, or in the "B" pillar post (depending on car/truck line and model). The
Mustang/Capri shoulder harness retractor is located in the quarter panel. From the retractor, the
webbing then passes through a guide above and behind the occupant's shoulder which directs the
webbing at the proper downward angle over the occupant's shoulder and chest, and attaches the
tongue to the inboard belt buckle. The shoulder harness retractor is designed to let the webbing
move freely in or out at all times, except during vehicle deceleration, when the retractor is
automatically locked by a mechanically actuated retractor inertia sensor. The inboard belt buckle
passes through the seat cushion on a bench seat or around the side of the cushion on a bucket
seat to a fixed anchorage on the floor or seat pedestal for Econolines. Attaching (locking together)
the tongue and buckle secures the occupant with both lower and upper restraints. This attachment
of the tongue and buckle can be accomplished by a single continuous movement.
C.Two-Point System - Center Front/Rear and Rear Seat Lap Belts
Those vehicles designed to accommodate a center rear seat occupant have a center lap belt
without a retractor. The belt should be adjusted by the tongue to fit snugly and as low as possible
around the hips.

Figure 7
In passenger cars and light trucks, the rear seat two-point lap belt system for outboard passengers
has the retractor located in the quarter panel or attached to the floor under the seat (Figure 7). On
Econoline, Club Wagon, Bronco and Bronco II vehicles, the rear seat retractors are attached to the
seat frame or the floor. The buckle portions of the seat belt are all attached to the floor on
passenger cars, and either to the floor or seat frame on Broncos and Econolines. Most rear seat
lap belt retractor assemblies are equipped with a sleeve to prevent the tongue from being lost
between the seat cushion and seat back. The buckle ends pass between the seat cushion and seat
back. On passenger cars, the locking together of the tongue and buckle can be made by a single
continuous movement. On Bronco and Econoline vehicles, the outboard buckle ends pass around
the outside of the rear seat (Figure 6, View B).
Section 3-Functional Test Procedure For Shoulder Harness
Shoulder Harness Functional Test Procedure for Three-Point Systems (Both Dual Retractor and
Continuous Loop Systems)
Driver should buckle up and proceed to a test area appropriate for making sudden stops. If the RH
passenger seat
belt must be tested, a passenger should be buckled into the RH seat. The passenger belt may be
tested utilizing a driver only, providing the driver has the ability to grasp the RH shoulder belt and
extend it approximately (660 mm) 26 inches with no compromise to safe driving. This method
applies to the (8 km/h) 5 mph test only.
NOTE: The RH shoulder belt should not be extended during testing. This avoids the possibility of a
false lock-up that is caused by a fully extended belt.
After reaching an area to safely perform sudden stops, the driver should attain a speed of
approximately (8 km/h) 5 mph. The driver should inform the passenger (if any), that he is preparing
to make a brake application. At this time, both driver and passenger should prepare to lean slightly
forward at the moment the brake application is made.
The driver should make a moderately hard brake application (approximately l6 ft./sec.) without tire
skid. The brake application should be on dry concrete or equivalent hard road surface (never on a
wet or gravel road). The driver and passenger should lean forward slightly into the shoulder
harness; at this instant, the belt retractor should lock-up without webbing payout.
If there is a retractor lock-up on both driver and passenger shoulder straps, the seat belt
assemblies are functioning properly. Should either or both retractors fail to lock-up at the (8 km/h) 5
mph speed, the test should be repeated at a constant (24 km/h) 15 mph. (This test must be
performed with a RH passenger if the RH belt is to be tested.)
If either or both shoulder belt assemblies do not lock-up at the (24 km/h) 15 mph test, the vehicle is
to be returned for removal and replacement of the seat belt assembly, then retest.
WARNING: WHEN REPLACING A SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY, BE SURE TO INSTALL A
COMPLETE NEW ASSEMBLY (BUCKLE PORTION AND TONGUE PORTION TOGETHER) AS
RECEIVED FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY. DO NOT REPLACE ONE PART OF A SEAT BELT
ASSEMBLY WITHOUT INSTALLING THE ENTIRE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY. THIS WILL ASSURE
THAT THE BUCKLE PORTION IS MANUFACTURED BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER AS THE
TONGUE PORTION AND IS COMPATIBLE WITH IT. ALSO BE SURE THAT THE BELTS
INSTALLED ARE INTENDED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE VEHICLE IN WHICH THEY ARE BEING
INSTALLED.

Section 5-Seat Belt Procedure After an Accident
NOTE: ALL SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES INCLUDING RETRACTORS AND ATTACHING
HARDWARE SHOULD BE INSPECTED AFTER ANY COLLISION. FORD RECOMMENDS THAT
ALL SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES IN USE DURING A COLLISION BE REPLACED UNLESS THE
COLLISION WAS MINOR AND THE BELTS SHOW NO DAMAGE AND CONTINUE TO
OPERATE PROPERLY. SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES NOT IN USE DURING A COLLISION
SHOULD ALSO BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF EITHER DAMAGE OR IMPROPER
OPERATION IS NOTED.
Before installing the new seat belt assembly, the seat belt attaching areas must be inspected for
damage and distortion, and if the attaching points are damaged or distorted, the sheet metal must
be reworked back to its original shape and structural integrity.
Install the new seat belt assembly in matched sets using the appropriate instructions; then
functionally test as described previously in this article.
Section 6-Cleaning Belt Webbing
Clean the belt webbing with any mild soap solution recommended for cleaning upholstery or
carpets; follow instructions provided with the soap. Do not bleach or re-dye the webbing because it
may weaken the belt webbing.
Section 7-Service Parts
The Ford Motor Company stocks replacement parts for all passenger car safety belt systems for
which there is nominal demand without regard to the age of vehicle. Beyond this, in the interest of
ensuring that the full protection of safety belts is available for all Ford owners, the Company will
undertake to provide parts to service the belt system for any Company vehicle if it was originally
equipped with safety belts.
Seat belt and shoulder assembly part numbers for specific applications can be identified by
referring to Body Section 611 of the parts catalog. In general, these assemblies are available with
black webbing only once the vehicle is beyond two years out of production. Part orders should be
placed through the normal PDC system.

LIGHT TRUCK 1981-86 ALL
NOTE: This article is being republished in its entirety to include 1986 models.
Installation of "AfterMarket" anti-theft devices such as fuel shutoff and ignition defeating devices
may cause no starts, hard starting, stalls, or damage to vehicle components on Ford vehicles
equipped with electronic engine controls. Possible damage caused by these devices can result
from the following situations:
1. Fuel shutoff devices - Attempting to start the vehicle without disarming this device may cause the
fuel injectors to run dry and overheat, which will lead to failure of the injectors.
2. Ignition defeating devices which ground the ignition/tachometer lead - Attempting to start the
vehicle without disarming may result in ignition coil failure.
Figure 13
In addition, care must be taken when routing underhood after market wiring (see Figure 13 for
proper precautions), in order to avoid electromagnetic interference with electronic engine controls.
The following precautions must be observed:

Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Antitheft and Alarm Systems > System Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Antitheft Devices - Installation Precautions > Page 5823
1. Ignition tach signal wiring must not be randomly routed through the engine compartment.
2. Add-on wiring must not run parallel to secondary (plug) ignition wires.
3. EEC wiring harness (12A581) must not be altered or cut or rerouted.
Failure to observe these warnings may result in damage to vehicle components or drive
deterioration. OTHER APPLICABLE ARTICLES: Supersedes 85-7-8 WARRANTY STATUS:

LEAKS WATER - IDENTIFICATION AND CORRECTION
LIGHT TRUCK: 1984-91 ECONOLINE
This TSB Article was originally published as TSB 84-19-15 on September 12, 1984. It is being
republished because the basic water leak corrective procedures and techniques remain applicable
for the more recent models as well.
ISSUE: The water leak identification and correction procedures outlined in this article are the most
common conditions you may encounter. It is unlikely that you will ever find it necessary to perform
all of the possible corrections on a single vehicle. Each vehicle is unique and, therefore, careful
attention is required in evaluating the vehicle and making the necessary corrections.
ACTION: If service is required, use the following procedure to identify and correct the water leaks.
DIAGNOSING WATER LEAKS
The actual sources of these various water leaks may often be misleading.
^ The spot where the water shows up is not always the location of the trouble.
^ Do not always rely on the service order, or even the customer, to pinpoint the actual leak area.
^ The description of the water leak will usually reflect only where the water is noticeable, not
necessarily where the cause is located.
GENERAL TEST PROCEDURES
Although every dealership has its own method for testing water leaks, the following methods will be
helpful to the technician in solving the more difficutt and persistent water leaks.
NOTE: DETECTION OF WATER LEAKS IN THE REAR CARGO FLOOR AREA MAY BE
ENHANCED BY PLACING A LARGE LIGHT BULB IN THE CARGO AREA, RAISING THE
VEHICLE ON A HOIST AND CHECKING THE FLOOR PAN JOINT FOR ANY LIGHT SHINING
THROUGH.

SEALING MATERIALS
A list of sealing materials is shown below.
1. Silicone Rubber Adhesive
^ Clear - Ford (D6AZ-19562-AA) or 3M 08661
^ Black - Ford (D6AZ-19562-BA) or 3M 08662
These are rapid curing adhesives/sealants formulated for such uses as sealing leaks, remounting
trim and servicing torn weatherstripping adheres to a wide variety of surfaces.
2. Weatherstrip Adhesive
^ Yellow Colored - Ford (E8AZ-19552-A)
This adhesive holds weatherstripping on doors, bodies, cowl ventilators and other locations. It is
used to service loose weatherstripping or install new weatherstripping. It is also used to bond
numerous rubber-to-metal, rubber-to-wood, rubber-to-cardboard and rubber-to-rubber surfaces. It
stops leaks in windows set in rubber mouldings. It sets up fast.
3. Joint and Seam Sealer
^ White - 3M 08646 (Cartridge Type)
^ Black - 3M 08648 (Cartridge Type)
This joint and seam sealer is a firm setting, but flexible sealer for interior and exterior body joints
and seams. Typical applications are in floor and wheelwell areas. It skins over quickly and can be
painted in about 30 minutes.

LEAKS WATER - IDENTIFICATION AND CORRECTION
LIGHT TRUCK: 1984-91 ECONOLINE
This TSB Article was originally published as TSB 84-19-15 on September 12, 1984. It is being
republished because the basic water leak corrective procedures and techniques remain applicable
for the more recent models as well.
ISSUE: The water leak identification and correction procedures outlined in this article are the most
common conditions you may encounter. It is unlikely that you will ever find it necessary to perform
all of the possible corrections on a single vehicle. Each vehicle is unique and, therefore, careful
attention is required in evaluating the vehicle and making the necessary corrections.
ACTION: If service is required, use the following procedure to identify and correct the water leaks.
DIAGNOSING WATER LEAKS
The actual sources of these various water leaks may often be misleading.
^ The spot where the water shows up is not always the location of the trouble.
^ Do not always rely on the service order, or even the customer, to pinpoint the actual leak area.
^ The description of the water leak will usually reflect only where the water is noticeable, not
necessarily where the cause is located.
GENERAL TEST PROCEDURES
Although every dealership has its own method for testing water leaks, the following methods will be
helpful to the technician in solving the more difficutt and persistent water leaks.
NOTE: DETECTION OF WATER LEAKS IN THE REAR CARGO FLOOR AREA MAY BE
ENHANCED BY PLACING A LARGE LIGHT BULB IN THE CARGO AREA, RAISING THE
VEHICLE ON A HOIST AND CHECKING THE FLOOR PAN JOINT FOR ANY LIGHT SHINING
THROUGH.

SEALING MATERIALS
A list of sealing materials is shown below.
1. Silicone Rubber Adhesive
^ Clear - Ford (D6AZ-19562-AA) or 3M 08661
^ Black - Ford (D6AZ-19562-BA) or 3M 08662
These are rapid curing adhesives/sealants formulated for such uses as sealing leaks, remounting
trim and servicing torn weatherstripping adheres to a wide variety of surfaces.
2. Weatherstrip Adhesive
^ Yellow Colored - Ford (E8AZ-19552-A)
This adhesive holds weatherstripping on doors, bodies, cowl ventilators and other locations. It is
used to service loose weatherstripping or install new weatherstripping. It is also used to bond
numerous rubber-to-metal, rubber-to-wood, rubber-to-cardboard and rubber-to-rubber surfaces. It
stops leaks in windows set in rubber mouldings. It sets up fast.
3. Joint and Seam Sealer
^ White - 3M 08646 (Cartridge Type)
^ Black - 3M 08648 (Cartridge Type)
This joint and seam sealer is a firm setting, but flexible sealer for interior and exterior body joints
and seams. Typical applications are in floor and wheelwell areas. It skins over quickly and can be
painted in about 30 minutes.

LIGHT - EMISSION - STAYS ON
LIGHT TRUCK 1985 ALL LIGHT TRUCKS
The emission maintenance warning system functions with two microprocessor modules. One
module is the inferred mileage sensor (IMS) and the other is the emission maintenance warning
(EMW) module. The IMS module is not part of the emission light circuit. The IMS module sends a
signal to the engine control assembly (ECA) at a predetermined time which then automatically
makes appropriate internal emission control adjustments.
The EMW module is a timing device that turns the "EMISSIONS" light on at approximately 60,000
miles, indicating required emission system maintenance. 1985 light trucks built prior to January
1985 have a non-resetable EMW module and require part replacement if the "EMISSIONS" light
stays on. Later vehicles are equipped with a resetable EMW module and can be reset as described
in the 1985 Car/LightTruck EngineElectrical-Emissions Shop Manual, page 18-6. An additional
EMW module is available and is used only for vehicles with approximately 30,000 miles. This
module will ensure that the "EMISSIONS" light will still be illuminated as required at 60,000 miles.
Locations for the EMW/IMS modules are as follows:
Model Location
F Series Left side of steering column on instruEconoline ment panel support.
Bronco
Aerostar Left side of steering column mounted on the EEC-IV processor bracket.
Ranger Behind and above the glove box.
Bronco II Mounted on the instrument panel. (May require glove box removal.)
The IMS and EMW modules are located side by side. The EMW module is the only part that
normally requires replacement. It can be identified by a "RESET" sticker and brown plastic housing.
The IMS module is black in color and has no stickers.
Figure 13 - Module Flange
Installation Note
E/F Series and Bronco access is limited. Installing a new module may require slotting of the upper
mounting hole on the module flange (see Figure 13). This allows starting of the upper screw in the
instrument panel support so the module can then be slid under the screw head before tightening.

LIGHT TRUCK 1980-85 ECONOLINE
Spot weld marks along the lower body side panels at the character line of Econoline vehicles may
affect appearance or customer satisfaction.
This condition can be resolved with the installation of a 24mm wide adhesively attached body side
molding kit now available as a service kit. The moldings are applied along the character line from
the rear of the front fender to the rear of the vehicle. This service only kit is pre-cut, and requires
only cleaning the surface of all wax and dirt, peeling the plastic backing from the molding and
applying the molding in the designated area. The body side molding kit is designed to fit both the
124 inch and 138 inch wheelbase units with either sliding or cargo side doors.

ISSUE: Ferrous metal particles (hot iron dust) are generated by manufacturing facilities, rail
shipments, combustion engines, jet engines, body shops, etc. These particles
mechanically/magnetically bond to vehicles' painted surfaces. Moisture and temperature combine
with the particles to create a chemical reaction. The reaction causes the particles to corrode and
enter into the physical paint film.
ACTION: To remove these particles/contaminants, USE ONLY the following procedure. The
procedure must be performed before any buffing, polishing, color sanding or refinishing is
attempted. The materials in this procedure are alkaline, acidic and neutral. They must be used in
the specified order.
CAUTION:
ANY CHANGES TO THIS PROCEDURE WILL CAUSE AN INCOMPLETE OR
UNSATISFACTORY REPAIR AND MAY RESULT IN

PREVENT SKIN IRRITATION.
CAUTION:
THE USE OF ANY OTHER PRODUCT OR PROCEDURE MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO
ALUMINUM, FLEXIBLE PAINTED SURFACES OR OTHER PAINTED SURFACES. FOLLOW
DIRECTIONS EXACTLY AND RINSE THOROUGHLY AFTER EACH STEP.
NOTE:
THIS DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURE IS DESIGNED TO REMOVE SURFACE
CONTAMINANTS FROM THE PAINT ON VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN CONTAMINATED UP
TO 120 DAYS. VEHICLES WHICH HAVE EXPERIENCED THE CONDITION LONGER THAN
THIS PERIOD MAY REQUIRE AN ADDITIONAL TREATMENT TO REMOVE FERROUS METAL
CONTAMINANTS.

3. Acid Rain
^ Surface will exhibit irregular discolored spotting.
^ Dark colored vehicles will show cloudy or greying spots where the acids have started to etch
away the paint.
NOTE:
IN EXTREME CASES ETCHING OF THE SURFACE WILL BE VISIBLE OR FELT.
DECONTAMINATION
Use Finish Kare Inc. products 1119/883/11850 to decontaminate the paint surface. Follow the
manufacturer's recommended procedures.
NOTE:
FORD DOES NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF OXALIC ACIDS OR OTHER "FALLOUT
REMOVERS".
1. Rinse off dust and debris with cold water. Be sure to start at the bottom and work up.
2. Prepare product "1119" by mixing one (1) part "1119" with four (4) parts cold water.
3. Use clean wash mitt and apply mixture to entire car, starting at the bottom and working up to the
top surface. Keep car wet with the solution for 5 to 10 minutes. Do not allow product to dry on the
car, and do not allow it to streak down the sides. Rewipe with mitt if necessary to avoid streaks.
4. Rinse car with cold water.
5. Dry the flat surfaces of the vehicle hood, roof and deck lid.
6. Apply product "883" directly to the contaminated surfaces using a clean dry sponge, wash mitt,
or soft truck brush ("883" is ready to use from the bottle, with no mixing involved). Keep the areas
wet with the "883" for 5 to 7 minutes. Do not allow to dry on the car. Wipe down to the body line on
the sides.
7. Prepare product "118SC" by mixing 1 oz (0.03 L) with 1 gal (3.785 L) of water.
8. Shampoo the vehicle with "118SC" shampoo mixture using a clean wash mitt and then rinse with
cold water.
NOTE:
DO NOT USE "1185C" MITT WITH "1119" OR "883" SOLUTIONS. USE SEPARATE MITTS AND
ALWAYS KEEP THEM SEPARATE.
9. Inspect paint surface to see if rust particles have been removed. If rust particles have been on
the vehicle for a long time, it may be necessary to repeat each of the above steps.
NOTE:
THE NEUTRALIZER CONCENTRATE IS A HEAVY DUTY SHAMPOO AND CAN BE USED IN AN
AUTOMATIC CAR WASH SYSTEM.

CORRECTION OF SURFACE FOLLOWING DECONTAMINATION:
1. Visually inspect surface for evidence of removal of ferrous metal particles, crystalline deposits
and water spots. Acid rain discoloring or etching will require either buffing, color sanding or
refinishing if etching is visible.
2. Use the buffing products from only one (1) manufacturer. Do not intermix products.
3. Always follow the manufacturer's product sequence. Use appropriate pads with each product as
recommended by the manufacturer.
NOTE:
DO NOT REMOVE MORE THAN 0.3 OF A MIL OF PAINT MATERIAL, OR REPAINTING WILL BE
REQUIRED.
4. Use a dual action sander (D/A Sander) with a velcro-mount backing plate and appropriate foam
pad for final polishing swirl removal.
5. Use an alcohol and water mixture (1:4 ratio) to clean buffed areas to verify removal of scratches
and swirls before application of final protective glaze.
NOTE:
FREQUENT WASHING OF VEHICLES IS IMPORTANT. CONTAMINANTS SETTLE ONTO THE
VEHICLE EVERY DAY. USE CLEAN WATER (DEIONIZED, REVERSE OSMOSIS, ETC.) TWICE
WEEKLY TO REMOVE HEAVY DUST, AND PARTICULATES. THE USE OF A NEUTRAL pH
CAR WASH SOAP EVERY TWO (2) WEEKS IS RECOMMENDED TO NEUTRALIZE VEHICLE
CONTAMINATION.

ISSUE: This procedure is being published to advise all body and paint technicians about proper
procedures for preparation of sheet metal parts coated with electrodeposition primer (E-Coat).
ACTION: When prepping a replacement body panel for installation, it is mandatory to leave the
E-Coat intact. DO NOT SAND OFF THE E-COAT.
Improper preparation with excessive sanding of the E-Coat to bare metal will jeopardize the sheet
metal warranty and overall customer satisfaction. In particular, the E-Coat is necessary to protect
the parts from rust. Light scuff sanding using a Scotch Brite pad or wet 320 grit sand paper is
recommended for minor flaws. If a minor flaw exists, wet sand or scuff out the flaw and prime the
repair area. Again, do not remove all of the E-Coat from the panel.

AUTHORITIES FOR DIRECTION REGARDING OSHA LEAD STANDARD REQUIREMENTS.
If a replacement body panel contains more than a minor flaw in the E-coat, it should be returned.
Contact your Customer Service representative for instructions.
If more extensive sanding, other than that described above, is necessary, (e.g., refinishing original
vehicle sheet metal) follow the procedures outlined below:
ALTERNATIVE SANDING PROCEDURES WHEN EXTENSIVE SANDING IS REQUIRED
The following procedures for sheet metal preparation by sanding or media blasting are based on
tests conducted by Ford Motor Company in accordance with requirements set forth in the Federal
OSHA Inorganic Lead Standard 29 CFR 1910.1025.
SANDING PROCEDURE
1. Each technician performing the sanding operation MUST wear an approved respirator with high
efficiency particulate filter (HEPA).
2. Technicians should use dual action sander with vacuum collection.
3. The vacuum equipment MUST be equipped with a HEPA filter on the air exhaust. Dealers are
cautioned not to exhaust vacuum air into the atmosphere. Operators are cautioned to follow the
manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance and the replacement of filters.
MEDIA BLASTING PROCEDURE
1. Testing has shown that plastic media blasting meets OSHA lead standard requirements and is
efficient when the manufacturer's published procedures are followed.
2. The operator must wear an air supplied hood using compressed air free from carbon monoxide,
oil, water, and other contamination when performing this operation. Specifics of the media blasting
procedure for whole body paint removal have been previously published.

(C) Lower Body Stone Protection Repair Tips
Ford has introduced a vinyl anti-stone abrasion material for the lower exterior body surfaces of
selected passenger vehicles and light trucks. The anti-stone abrasion material is applied to the
lower fenders, rocker panels, lower doors, quarter panel dogleg, and lower rear of quarter panel
behind the wheel. The anti-stone abrasion material will usually end at a body character line.

While primarily for servicing of factory-applied protective coating, the following provides installation
information. If the vehicle has experienced body damage in the factory-applied material protective
area, the sheet metal damage must be serviced prior to the application of the new protective
coating.
SMALL AREAS - MINOR DEFECTS (VEHICLES WITH FACTORY SPRAYED-ON VINYL)
A small dent in the sheet metal that did not mar the vinyl surface, can possibly be corrected with
proper bumping tools without damage to the vinyl coating. However, noticeable scratches or
gouges (not over 1/2 inch in diameter) or dings and dents that when "ironed out" show vinyl
damage, can be satisfactorily serviced with the following procedure:
1. Solvent-wipe the damaged area with "Silicone and Wax Remover."
2. Using a heat gun or lamp, soften the vinyl coating of the damaged area until it can be scraped off
with a putty knife or a similar tool. If necessary, sand off any hard to remove coating using an
orbital disc sander (No. 80 Disc). (The spray-on vinyl protective coatings may not be suitable for
"spot" application. See Manufacturer's label for instructions.)
3. Perform necessary servicing to correct the sheet metal damage.
4. Using white bodyfiller, fill the damaged area. Follow the instructions on the label and blend the
bodyfiller with the surrounding sheet metal.
5. Allow the bodyfiller to completely cure and then carefully sand the area smooth, removing any
high spots.
6. Refer to "Spray Procedure" for restoration of vinyl anti-stone abrasion material.
LARGE DAMAGED AREAS - VEHICLE WITH FACTORY SPRAYED ON VINYL
Peeling or damage over a large area will necessitate removal of the factory sprayed-on vinyl
coating. The following procedure is suggested.
NOTE: WHERE SHEET METAL IS DAMAGED TO THE EXTENT THAT A FENDER, DOOR, OR
QUARTER PANEL REPLACEMENT IS
REQUIRED (OR IN AN INITIAL INSTALLATION), DISREGARD STEPS NO. 1 AND NO. 2.
1. Using a heat gun or lamp, soften the vinyl coating until it is pliable. Scrape coating off with a
putty knife or a similar tool. If necessary, sand off any hard to remove coating using an orbital disc
sander (No. 80 Disc). (The vinyl material, abrasion resistant coating may not be suitable for "spot"
applications. See manufacturer's label for instructions.)
2. Perform necessary servicing to correct the sheet metal damage.
3. Refer to "Spray Procedure" for restoration of vinyl anti-stone abrasion material.
COATING APPLICATIONS
Approximately two quarts will be required for an initial installation on a passenger car or F-Series.
Slightly more will be required for an Econoline. The specified dry film thickness of 15 to 20 mils
(.015 to .020 inch) will require at least three, possibly four, applications of coating material, with
"flash off" time between coats. Spray coat complete panels only.
The coating must be applied with commercial equipment by an experienced automotive painter.
The coating must be thoroughly agitated before application. The material is heavy bodied. A
pressure cup spray gun or "Rocker Schutz Gun" is recommended.
COATING PREPARATION - MASKING VEHICLE
Install suitable covers over the wheels.
NOTE: IF THE VEHICLE HAS LOWER BODY SIDE MOULDINGS (12-14 INCHES ABOVE THE
"TURN UNDER" OF THE ROCKER PANEL),
THE MOULDING CAN SERVE AS THE UPPER MARGIN OF THE AREA TO BE COATED. IF
THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE SUITABLE MOULDINGS, A SCULPTURE OR BREAK LINE IN
THE SHEET METAL CAN BE UTILIZED. THIS LINE SHOULD BE SELECTED TO ENSURE
ADEQUATE PROTECTION OF THE PAINTED SURFACES.
VEHICLES WITH BODY SIDE MOULDINGS
1. Masking tape should be positioned so that the moulding lower edge is also covered. The
adjoining sheet metal should be left uncovered too so anti-stone, abrasion vinyl can be applied.
VEHICLES WITHOUT BODY SIDE MOULDINGS
2. If the contour of the body side has a break line, the upper coating margin must be masked off
using 3M "Fine Line" Tape.
Ford E 150 Van Workshop Manual (V8-302 5.0L (1985))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Paint, Striping and Decals > Paint > System Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Technical Service Bulletins for Paint: > 91181 > Sep > 91 > Exterior Paint - Comprehensive Repair Procedures >
Page 6026
a. The normal masking tape and paper protection for the body side should be applied first and
positioned about a quarter inch above the margin line.
b. The "Fine Line" tape should then be applied over the regular masking tape with the lower edge
at the upper coating margin line. Extend this "Fine Line" tape into the wheel opening, in the
absence of wheel opening mouldings, allowing the flange to be coated.
c. The anti-stone abrasion coating does not adhere well to flexible plastic parts. If left exposed, they
must be masked off.
d. It is not necessary to mask off the body door openings in the coating area, as they will be
uniformly coated where the door margins allow the coating to enter.
NOTE: DOOR OPENING AREAS SHOULD BE CLEANED TO ASSURE COATING ADHERENCE.
COATING PREPARATION - SHEET METAL
REPAIRED SHEETMETAL
1. Scuff sand (No. 180 Grit Paper) the glossy surface of the painted areas to be coated.
2. Using a clean, lint-free cloth, solvent wipe the area to be coated with wax and grease remover.
3. Remove sanding dust using compressed air and lint-free tack cloth.
NEW SHEET METAL
1. Sand off (No. 180 Grit Paper) the prime paint in the area to be coated.
2. Using a lint-free cloth, solvent wipe the area to be coated with wax and grease remover.
3. Remove sanding dust using compressed air and a lint-free tack cloth.
NEW INSTALLATION
1. The glossy surface of the paint in the coating area must be sanded with a D/A sander. A 220/240
Grit Disc does a good, fast job. DO NOT sand through the primer.
2. Using a clean, lint-free cloth, solvent wipe the area to be coated with wax and grease remover.
3. Remove sanding dust using compressed air and a lint-free tack cloth.
SPRAY PROCEDURE
The lower exposed painted fender, rocker, and quarter panel down flanges should be protected.
The vehicle must be elevated high enough so that the painter can spray this area effectively. When
an initial installation is to be made, a remote two-quart capacity pressure cup makes a much more
efficient tool, as the spray gun can be used closer to the floor. The spray gun, fluid hose and/or cup
must be cleaned immediately after use. Refer to manufacturer's recommended cleaning procedure.
Lacquer thinner can be used when the suggested clean up material is unavailable.
WARNING: WEAR A NOISHA/MSHA RECOMMENDED VAPOR/PARTICULATE RESPIRATOR
AND USE ALL OTHER RECOMMENDED SAFETY EOUIPMENT.
1. After preparing the new or damaged area(s), mix either Epoxy primer or Self-etch prime, per
manufacturer's label instructions, and spray bare metal areas.
^ BASF DE15 or DE17
^ Sikkens Metalflex CR Primer (1 coat only)
^ DuPont Variprime
^ S-W E2G 980 GBP Etching Filler
^ PPG DP 40 (only)
2. Apply 1-2 light prime coats over the bare metal areas.

NOTE: SOME ANTI-STONE ABRASION MATERIAL MAY REQUIRE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT
MIXING PREPARATION, PROCEDURE
AND APPLICATION. SOME ANTI-STONE ABRASION MATERIALS CAN NOT BE USED FOR
SPOT REPAIR. CHECK WITH THE PAINT MANUFACTURER FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
ABOUT THEIR PRODUCT.
5. Allow the stone abrasion material to dry. Heat can be used to accelerate the drying time. Check
the manufacturer's instructions.
COLOR COAT
The complete coated area, as well as the upper raw edge, must be covered with color coat. Mask
off the upper margin line using "Fine Line" tape positioned 1/16 inch above the coating edge. Using
appropriate service paint and application procedures, the protective coating area can now be finish
painted with monocoat or a basecoat/clearcoat urethane system.
NOTE: IF DAMAGED SHEET METAL EXTENDS ABOVE THE PROTECTIVE COATING AREA,
NORMAL PRIME/COLOR PAINT PROCEDURES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED.
CAUTION: OUR ENVIRONMENT IS PRECIOUS - PLEASE USE PROPER DISPOSAL

(E) Lower Body-Side Stone Chip Protection Program
Ford Motor Company has recently initiated a program to provide improved stone-chip protection on
some vehicles and to increase the corrosion protection on cars and trucks.
Some customers are unaware of body side anti-stone chip protection which appears as wavy
orange peel texture on the lower body areas.
Ford is increasing the use of PVC (poly vinyl chloride) material which is applied in a thicker coating
on the lower body-side. This material has been in use on vehicles destined for the Canadian
market for many years.
This PVC material is now applied at the following plants on ALL vehicles.
^ Edison - Ranger
^ Hermosillo - Escort/Tracer
^ Louisville - Ranger and Explorer
^ Ohio Truck - Econoline
^ Wayne - Escort/Tracer
This process is also planned for Kansas City, Oakville, Twin Cities and Wixom.
This material can be identified by the "orange peel" appearance and a visible "break-line" between
protected and unprotected areas in the lower body areas.
CAUTION: THIS PROTECTION MUST NOT BE REMOVED IF VEHICLE IS EXPECTED TO
MAINTAIN THE CORROSION PROTECTION.
Some customers have expressed concerns due to the appearance of the treated areas. These
customers did not know about the extra protection this material provides their vehicle. Once
explained, customers were pleased with the added protection and accepted the orange peel finish.
NOTE: DEALERS SHOULD ADVISE THEIR SALES PEOPLE, SERVICE PEOPLE, AND
CUSTOMERS, OF THE REASONS AND BENEFITS
OF THIS PROTECTION. CANADIAN DEALERS STRESS THIS AS A SELLING POINT WITH
THEIR SALES PEOPLE. IT IS CONSIDERED A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE.
(F) Surface Defect Removal Without Repainting
Exterior paint surface damage or imperfections, where the primer coat does not show through,
should be restored without repainting. The restoration of gloss and luster, after the condition has
been repaired, is possible with new techniques and improved materials.
The following procedure is applicable to surface conditions such as dirt particles, orange peel, runs,
sags, industrial fallout stains, swirl marks, light scratches and other minor surface imperfections.
For dirt particles or scratches in several localized areas, the entire panel should be refinished to
maintain a uniform appearance.
PREPARATION
To repair the affected surface it must be clean and dry. Mask off adjacent panels, mouldings, stripe
and character lines as required.
CAUTION: EYE PROTECTION, AND FACE MASK SHOULD BE WORN. RINGS, BRACELETS,
WATCHES AND BELT BUCKLES MUST BE
REMOVED TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE TO PAINT FINISH.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove sanding marks with rubbing compound.
Ford E 150 Van Workshop Manual (V8-302 5.0L (1985))

Bulletins > Technical Service Bulletins for Paint: > 91181 > Sep > 91 > Exterior Paint - Comprehensive Repair Procedures >
Page 6032
2. Swirl marks, evident after buffing, are removed by polishing.
3. Remove light scratches and small dirt particles with a power buffer and medium buffing
compound followed with polishing.
4. Remove deeper scratches and heavy dirt particles or orange peel, by wet sanding.
5. Buff with compound to remove the sanding marks and then polish to remove the swirl marks
from the buffing operation.
NOTE: PERFORM A TRIAL REPAIR WITH A SMALL AREA. FIRST, TRY POLISHING; IF THIS IS
NOT SUCCESSFUL, TRY BUFFING
AND, FINALLY, USE WET SANDING TO REMOVE THE CONDITION. USE MOST EFFECTIVE
TECHNIQUE ON REMAINDER OF AREAS. AN OUTLINE OF THE COMPLETE PROCEDURE
AND REQUIRED MATERIALS FOLLOWS.
POLISHING - VERY MINOR SCRATCHES OR SWIRL MARKS AND/OR RESTORING A DULL
FINISH
1. Apply a small amount of Meguiar's Mirror Glaze, or equivalent, to the affected panel (or pad).
2. Use a suitable electric or air powered polish/buffing wheel (1750 max. RPM) and a Meguiar's
Finesse Polishing Pad, or equivalent, to polish the affected area until all swirl marks are gone and
desired luster is obtained.
3. When polishing, keep the pad flat against the surface. Do not bear down. The weight of the
buffer is sufficient.
CAUTION: DO NOT MIX PRODUCTS! USE A SEPARATE, DEDICATED BUFFING PAD FOR
EACH PRODUCT TO ACHIEVE DESIRED
RESULTS.
Variable speed buffers are available in a variety of buffing speeds. The recommended speed range
is 1200-1750 RPM.
COMPOUNDING - LIGHT SCRATCHES, SMALL DIRT PARTICLES, MINOR GRIND MARKS,
AND SANDING MARKS
1. Apply Meguiar's Rubbing Compound (medium) or equivalent to the panel with a clean compound
pad on the wheel.
2. Spread the compound evenly and continue buffing until the condition is removed.
3. Keep the wheel flat to the surface and use light to moderate pressure and long strokes.
4. Periodically check the finish and add compound as required.
5. When buffing is complete, polish the panel as described previously.
Twisted wool cutting pads are the most effective compounding pads to use with Glaze Machine
Cleaner for removing paint defects and heavy oxidation. Following the use of a wool compounding
pad, it may be necessary to polish the finish with No. 2 Mirror Glaze Hi-Tech Cleaner using a Mirror
Glaze Finesse Polishing Pad to remove the deep swirl marks.
GENERAL TECHNIQUES AND HINTS
^ "Foam" buffing pads create added gloss and depth of color on all types of paint finishes without
creating buffer swirl marks.
^ When "buffing out" oxidation or other paint defects with a cleaning material, use a liberal amount
of material, slower buffing motion and added downward pressure to increase cutting action.
^ Always apply cleaner to buffing pad, not directly on the oxidized paint surface. Dry paint absorbs
material into pores upon contact.
^ Always keep the face of the buffing pad completely flat to the surface, reducing the risk of buffer
swirl marks. Watch your pad, especially on angled surfaces, to be certain that it stays flat.
^ Avoid short rapid strokes. Move the buffer slowly across the surface using long straight motions
and overlap by 50% the buffing pattern left by the previous pass. This insures uniform coverage
and allows both material and buffer to perform at maximum efficiency.
^ Avoid buffing directly on raised character lines. The reduced paint film on these surfaces
increases the risk of paint burn through. It is best to buff up to them from each side.
^ Always use a "wet buff" technique on a basecoat/clearcoat finish. This is a precaution against
buffer swirls. Stop buffing just after the product begins to break down and before an overall dry,
glossy finish appears. After "wet buffing", use a towel to wipe off the excess material.
^ Always use a "dry buff" technique on light colored, conventional paint finishes. Continue buffing
until the material breaks down and only a slight film remains for final wipe off.

Bulletins > Technical Service Bulletins for Paint: > 91181 > Sep > 91 > Exterior Paint - Comprehensive Repair Procedures >
Page 6033
^ If a paint blemish remains after buffing, reapply a small amount of material over the blemish.
Confine your buffing strokes to the immediate area of the blemish while applying additional
downward pressure and keeping the pad flat.
NOTE: ALWAYS KEEP THE PAD MOVING AND LIMIT YOUR STROKES OVER THE BLEMISH
TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE HEAT
BUILD-UP AND POSSIBLE BURN THROUGH. STOP IMMEDIATELY IF THE SURFACE
BECOMES TOO HOT TO LAY THE PALM OF YOUR HAND ON IT.
NOTE: HEAT BUILD-UP: WHEN BUFFING CREATES EXCESSIVE HEAT, HAZING MAY
APPEAR ACROSS THE SURFACE BEING
BUFFED AND THE PRODUCT MAY DRY LIKE A FILM AND REFUSE TO BUFF OUT. TO
REMEDY, WIPE THE AREA DOWN WITH COOL WATER, DRY THE SURFACE AND RESUME
BUFFING ... AT A LOWER RPM IF POSSIBLE.
NOTE: STATIC: STATIC ELECTRICITY MAY BE PRESENT ON PAINTED
FIBERGLASS/PLASTIC SURFACE BEING BUFFED, THE
MATERIAL MAY DRY LIKE A FILM OR TURN "GUMMY" AND BEGIN TO BALL UP. TO
REMEDY, GROUND THE SURFACE BEING BUFFED TO METAL.
WET SANDING
Paint defects and sanding marks must be completely removed without using compounds and
abrasive cleaners that scar the finish.
Mirror Glaze Hi-Tech Finesse Sanding Papers provide uniformity in grit particle size and
distribution. Using these precision made sanding papers, water sanding marks can be removed
with Meguiar's cleaner and finesse polishing pads.
^ Typical paint defects that are repaired with this system include: dirt-in paint, solvent pop,
cratering, orange peel, drips, scratches, water spots, and acid rain.
^ Always use the least abrasive (highest grit) sanding products possible to do this job.
The following wet sanding procedure utilizes light grit sand paper or sanding blocks for removal of
surface damage. These materials cut quickly leaving a uniform finish requiring a minimum of
buffing to restore gloss.
PROCEDURE
1. Squeeze water to flush the area to be sanded. Continue to flush water to the surface during
sanding for maximum lubrication.
2. Use small circular motions to contain the abrasion to the immediate area of the defect. Keep the
blocks in water when not in use.
3. If the sanding block is cutting too slow, switch to a lower grade block and resume sanding. When
90% of the defect is removed, switch to a 2000 grade Finesse Sanding Paper or Sanding Block to
finish smoothing and prepare the surface for buffing.
4. Finesse Sanding Blocks can be shaped to work on any angle. When the block is wet, rub it
against a dry sanding block for shaping.
5. When using Finesse Sanding Papers, wrap the paper tightly around a E-7200 Backing Pad. This
pad evenly distributes pressure over the entire surface of the sanding paper. This creates a uniform
sanding pattern.
6. Plan your strokes to limit the abrasion to the smallest area possible.
NOTE: ALWAYS SAND IN ONE DIRECTION AND KEEP YOUR STROKES STRAIGHT.
7. Always finish sanding with 2000 Grit Finesse Sanding Paper. This eliminates the need for
compounding.
8. Buff out sanding marks by applying Meguiar's Cleaner with a Finesse "Foam" Polishing Pad.
Follow with a Mirror Glaze Polish for swirl-free gloss.

RUNS AND SAGS REMOVAL
This procedure consists of shaving the run or sag flush with a commercial single edge razor blade,
shaving file or sanding with a hard block and then compounding.
NOTE: IF IT IS NECESSARY TO SHAVE RUNS AND SAGS WITH A RAZOR BLADE, FIRST
DULL THE CORNERS WITH SANDPAPER TO AVOID SCRATCHING THE ADJACENT PANEL
FINISH.

(G) Color Compatible Spray Primer Chart
Ford has released color compatible spray primers for exterior and some interior surfaces.
Colored sprayed primers are being used by our "Best-in-Class" competition and are now being
implemented at Ford in order to improve process capability and to help in minimizing unsightly
paint chipping from stone abrasion. Color keyed (matched) spray primer for exterior body colors is
being used in an effort to help in the elimination of unsightly paint chipping from stone abrasion.
As with "Best-In-Class" competition, the engine compartment will be left with color compatible
primer only and not be topcoated as per past practice.

ISSUE: A service repair procedure has been developed to restore damaged factory-applied lower
body stone protection vinyl material.
ACTION: If service is required, use the following procedure to restore damaged lower body stone
protected areas.
This abrasion resistant coating material (D9AZ-19515-A) is primarily for repair of factory-applied
protective coatings. However, this material may also be installed on previously unprotected
vehicles.
If the vehicle has body damage in the area of the factory-applied coating, body damage must be
repaired before repairing the protective coating.
WARNING: WHENEVER USING PAINT, SOLVENT, REFINISHING OR RECONDITIONING
MATERIALS, WEAR A NOSE OR FACE MASK, PLUS HAVE ADEQUATE VENTILATION IN THE
WORK AREA.
Large Repair Areas
A large repair area, resulting from peeling or damage, will require removal of the factory-applied
vinyl coating.
NOTE: WHERE SHEET METAL IS DAMAGED TO THE EXTENT THAT A FENDER, DOOR OR
QUARTER PANEL REPLACEMENT IS REQUIRED, (OR IN AN INITIAL INSTALLATION), SKIP
STEPS # 1 - 3.
1. Use a heat gun or lamp to soften the vinyl coating until it is pliable.
2. Scrape off the softened vinyl with a putty knife or similar tool. If necessary, sand off any
hard-to-remove vinyl coating using an orbital disc sander (# 80 Disc).
NOTE: THE REPAIR MATERIAL, ABRASION RESISTANT COATING (D9AZ-19515-A), IS NOT
SUITABLE FOR "SPOT" REPAIRS. THE
OLD COATING MUST BE REMOVED COMPLETELY FROM EACH DAMAGED PANEL.
3. Make the necessary repairs to the sheet metal.
Coating Preparation and Applications:
The abrasion resistant coating is available in quart cans. About two quarts will be required for an
initial installation on a passenger car similar to a factory-applied system. Slightly more will be
required for a larger vehicle such as an Econoline.
The specified dry film thickness of 15 to 20 mils (.015 to .020") will require at least three or possibly
four applications of coating material, with flash off time allowed between coats. As with painting,
spray coat the complete lower panel.
The adherence of this coating to properly prepared sheet metal is excellent and it is not necessary
to prime the repaired sheet metal. However, adhesion will be adversely affected unless the sheet
metal (either repaired or new) is prepared in accordance with the following procedure.
Coating Preparation - Masking Car
1. Install covers over the wheels.
2. Determine the area to be coated.
^ If the vehicle has lower body side mouldings (12-14" above the "turn under" of the rocker Panel),
the moulding can serve as the upper margin of the area to be coated.
^ If the vehicle does not have suitable mouldings, a sculpture or break line in the sheet metal can
be used.
^ The method used in masking off the upper coating margin line will depend on the presence or
absence of mouldings in this area.
VEHICLES WITH SIDE MOULDINGS
3. Position the masking tape so that the moulding lower side is covered down to, but not on the
sheet metal.
VEHICLES WITHOUT SIDE MOULDINGS

Bulletins > Technical Service Bulletins for Paint: > 90153 > Jul > 90 > Lower Body Stone Protection - Repair Procedure >
Page 6044
4. If the contour of the body side has a break line, or if an arbitrary line is chosen, mask off the
upper coating margin using Scotch "Fine Line" tape. This is available nationally from 3M Company
Distributors.
a. Apply the normal masking tape and paper protection for the vehicle body side first. Position them
about a 1/4" above the margin line.
b. Apply the "Fine Line" tape over the regular masking tape with the lower edge at the upper
coating margin line.
c. Extend this "Fine Line" tape into the wheel opening, in absence of wheel opening mouldings, to
allow the flange to be coated.
d. Since the protective coating does not adhere well to flexible plastic stone shields, mask off the
front of the plastic rear stone shield, if exposed.
NOTE: IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO MASK OFF THE BODY DOOR OPENINGS IN THE
COATING AREA BECAUSE THEY WILL BE
UNIFORMLY COATED WHERE THE DOOR MARGINS ALLOW THE COATING TO ENTER.
HOWEVER, THESE DOOR OPENING AREAS SHOULD BE CLEANED TO ASSURE COATING
ADHERENCE.
Coating Preparation - Sheet Metal
REPAIRED SHEET METAL
1. Using a clean lint-free cloth, solvent wipe the area to be coated with a silicone and wax remover
and allow to flash off.
2. Scuff sand (# 180 Grit Paper) the glossy surface of the painted areas to be coated.
3. Remove sanding dust using a lint-free tack cloth and compressed air.
NEW SHEET METAL
1. Using a clean lint-free cloth, solvent wipe the area to be coated with a silicone and wax remover
and allow to flash off.
2. Scuff sand (# 180 Grit Paper) the prime paint in the area to be coated.
3. Remove sanding dust using a lint-free tack cloth and compressed air.
INITIAL INSTALLATION
1. Using a clean lint-free cloth, solvent wipe the area to be coated with a silicone and wax remover.
2. Sand the glossy surface of the paint in the coating area. (A D/A sander, 220/240 Grit Disc does a
good fast job.)
CAUTION: DO NOT SAND THROUGH THE COLOR COAT INTO THE PRIMER.
3. Remove sanding dust using a lint-free tack cloth and compressed air.
Coating Application
Coating applications must be applied with care.
^ The coating must be applied with commercial equipment by an experienced automotive painter.
^ The coating must be thoroughly agitated and used without thinning.
^ Since the material is reasonably heavy-bodied, a pressure cup equipped spray gun is
recommended.
^ Satisfactory coating appearance (orange peel) will result with gun pressure of approximately 30
P.S.I. and cup pressures of approximately 15 P.S.I.
Spray Procedure
Since the lower exposed painted fender, rocker and quarter panel down flanges are to be coated,
the vehicle should be elevated high enough so that the painter can spray this area effectively.
When an initial installation is to be made, a remote, two-quart capacity pressure cup makes a much
more efficient tool because the spray gun can be used closer to the floor.
The spray gun, fluid hose and cup must be cleaned immediately after use. While lacquer thinner
may be used when the suggested clean up material is unavailable, the Ford Vinyl Paint Precleaner
(VC-542-A) is quicker and much more efficient.
With the spray gun at 30 P.S.I. and pressure feed cup at 15 P.S.I. proceed as follows:

1. Apply a wet, sag-free coat. Allow 3 to 5 minutes flash off.
2. Apply a second wet, sag-free coat. Allow 3 to 5 minutes flash off.
3. Apply a third wet, sag-free coat. Allow 3 to 5 minutes flash off.
4. Apply a final wet, sag-free coat. Allow 3 to 5 minutes flash off. Pull off the "Fine Line" tape,
exposing the raw upper edge of the coating.
5. Immediately clean the spray equipment using Ford Vinyl Paint Precleaner (VC-542-A) or
equivalent.
6. Air drying time depends on the refinishing materials that are used.
^ If you refinish with acrylic lacquer, allow one hour for drying (at 70~F).
^ If you refinish with acrylic enamel, allow two hours for drying (at 70~F).
Color Coat
In order to paint the entire coated area as well as the upper raw edge, mask off the upper margin
line using the "Fine Line" tape. Position the tape 1/16" above the coating edge. The protective
coating area can now be finish painted.
NOTE: IF DAMAGED SHEET METAL EXTENDS ABOVE THE PROTECTIVE COATING AREA,
NORMAL PRIME/COLOR PAINT PROCEDURES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED.

ISSUE: Paint may be damaged from various sources of airborn materials. The two different types
are:
^ Inorganic
^ Organic
Sometimes it is hard to identify the type of paint damage and know how to remove it. This TSB
article gives detailed information and descriptions of both types of airborn materials. It also outlines
the service procedures for treating them.
ACTION: If service is required, identify the source of damage involved by referring to the following
information. Use the following recommended service procedure to correct concerns.
INORGANIC AIRBORN MATERIAL
The effects of inorganic airborn materials can be seen as:
^ Dark blotches in the paint where the pigment in the paint surface has been attacked
^ Irregular spots that are cracked or etched around the edges and dull in the centers.
^ Small orange colored spots caused by iron particles may appear on the paint surface.
Generally, materials that attack a paint film are either acidic or alkaline in nature.
Sulfuric and nitric acids, in general, cause extreme damage to automative paint finishes. Even very
small concentrations of the same materials can cause chemical spotting damage. Due to
evaporation and condensation, these acids can create severe etching "spots" that may eventually
crack or lift the paint film after some time in service.
Although some automotive finishes are more resistant than others, none are completely immune to
these chemicals. The most resistant paints used today are the urethanes because their resin
system is least likely to react with chemicals. Air dry coatings are more susceptible to attack only
when they are fresh. The longer the paint dries the more resistant it becomes.

Metallic colors are more intolerant to chemicals because aluminum flake is fairly reactive with either
an acid or alkali. The following chart contains the most common acid materials found on automotive
finishes. The chart shows a color, the corresponding damage appearance and also the chemical
causal agent. It is not applicable for Basecoat/Clearcoat finishes.
* "Caustic" refers to any alkaline substance that may be "harsh" or "corrosive" depending on
strength or concentration.
The following "pH" chart show the relationship between acidic and alkaline chemicals and their
corresponding pH values. This chart is provided for informational reference only. ORGANIC
AIRBORN MATERIALS
Organic damage is generally easier to identify. Organic damage is mostly due to tree sap, bird and
insect droppings, dead insects (Figure 8) and pollen. Tree sap is easily identified by clear raised
drops that may be hard or sticky. Bee or bug dropping spots may appear brownish or yellow in
color, about an eighth to a quarter inch in diameter. Dead and decomposing insect bodies are
readily visible to the eye. Pollen deposits are small yellow clusters. Each of these items is
potentially damaging to any currently available paint system. Other noticeable traits of organic
damage are spots that are raised (swelling) micro-crazing (cracked) and pitting, due to pollen
eating into the paint film. The active ingredients in most organic contaminants are tannic and formic
acids . These acids are found in berries and bodily fluids of insects and birds.
Investigations completed at dealerships show that the bright lot lights tend to attract insects. The
use of "soft lights" for display and storage lot illumination will help reduce damage resulting from
decomposing bugs and droppings by decreasing the number of bugs attracted to these lights.
Organic damage is accelerated by heat. During very hot weather conditions, it is important to wash
vehicles more often.
ORGANIC AND INORGANIC REPAIR PROCEDURES FOR MILD DAMAGE
Iron dust particles may imbed themselves into the paint film. On some light colored vehicles after
some weathering, tiny dots of rust start to appear. They

feel rough to the touch and are difficult to remove. The best way to remove these particles is by
treating the finish with an oxalic acid-detergent-water wash. Use the following procedure to perform
this service repair.
NOTE: OXALIC ACID WASH IS ALSO PRE-PACKAGED IN VARIOUS STRENGTHS UNDER
VARIOUS BRAND NAMES, IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO MIX YOUR OWN BATCHES.
1. Wash and degrease the vehicle first, using Ford Multi Purpose Cleaner (B8A-19523-B) or
equivalent, and a suitable wax and grease remover. If this does not remove all of the iron particles,
proceed with the oxalic acid wash.
2. Prepare a quantity of oxalic acid-detergent-water solution as follows:
a. Dissolve 6-8 ounces of Oxalic Acid (powder) in one gallon of warm water.
b. Add 1-2 tablespoons full of non-alkaline detergent such as Ford Multi Purpose Cleaner.
3. Apply this solution liberally to all affected surfaces of the vehicle with a large sponge. Keep the
surface wet until the technician can no longer feel any surface roughness with bare or gloved
fingertips.
NOTE: IF THIS IS NOT DONE THOROUGHLY, STAINING MAY REDEVELOP IF IRON
PARTICLES ARE LEFT BEHIND.
4. Rinse the area with clean water.
CAUTION: FAILURE TO THOROUGHLY RINSE THIS SURFACE COULD RESULT IN
CORROSION OF ANODIZED ALUMINUM OR
STAINLESS STEEL PARTS WITH PROLONGED CONTACT.
5. If the iron particles are not totally removed after 2 washings, use one or both of the procedures
listed for minor chemical contamination.
NOTE: THE USE OF POLISHING (WITH WAX), SANDING WITH MICRO FINE SANDPAPER
(1500 GRIT OR GREATER) OR BUFFING WITH VERY LIGHT COMPOUND SHOULD ONLY BE
DONE AS A LAST RESORT.
CHEMICAL CONTAMINATION
Chemical contamination, either acid or alkali, can cause off-color spots and crack the paint film. In
the presence of moisture (dew), sulfur contamination will change the color (light/dark) of the paint
pigments. (This does not apply to Basecoat/Clearcoat)
Since this contamination affects the pigments, lacquers and enamels show no difference in
resistance. Production thermal drying and air drying finishes are likely to be spotted.
Minor chemical contamination can be removed by using the following step by step procedure.
1. Wash the vehicle first by using Ford Multi Purpose Cleaner (B8A-19523-B) or equivalent to
remove the exterior foreign materials.
2. If the spotting is extensive and on the horizontal surfaces, then machine polish.
3. Apply a light grit polishing compound to the affected surface by using a soft brush. The
compound should be applied to a small area at a time so that it can be buffed out while still wet to
get maximum cutting efficiency.
4. Polish off the spots using a buffer operating at 1700-1800 rpm. Confine polishing to the spotted
areas. Repeat as necessary until all spots have been removed.
5. Remove spots on curved surfaces, near edges, and next to mouldings or ornaments by hand
polishing as follows:
a. Apply some polishing compound to a cotton cloth. (Do not use a synthetic cloth.)
b. Rub vigorously until the spots are no longer visible.
c. Clean off excess polishing compound by using a clean cloth and compressed air.
6. Buff out the polishing marks and bring up the gloss by using a buffer equipped with a clean, dry
lambs wool pad.
NOTE: IF POLISHING DOES NOT SUFFICIENTLY REMOVE DAMAGE, THE VEHICLE CAN BE
WET SANDED USING 1500 GRIT SANDPAPER AND THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE
Wet Sanding Procedure
1. Clean the exterior surface of the vehicle with Ford Multi Purpose cleaner or an equivalent to
remove all contamination.
2. Apply 1500 grit sandpaper to a rubber padded sanding block to sand the paint surface.

Bulletins > Technical Service Bulletins for Paint: > 89133 > Jun > 89 > Paint - Cosmetic Damage From Airborn Materials >
Page 6052
3. Use a squirt bottle filled with water to lubricate the 1500 grit sandpaper as you begin to sand only
the damaged areas. Water is an abrasive as well as a lubricant in this step.
NOTE: IF THE DAMAGE HAS GONE DEEPLY INTO THE PAINT FILM AND IT WILL NOT
POLISH OR SAND OUT, THEN REFINISHING IS REQUIRED.
ORGANIC MATERIAL REPAIR PROCEDURE FOR MILD DAMAGE
Minor organic damage can be removed by using the following step by step procedure.
1. Wash and degrease the vehicle thoroughly by using Ford Multi Purpose Cleaner (B8A-19523-B)
or equivalent and a wax and grease remover to remove all organics.
2. Inspect the vehicle horizontal surfaces. If spotting or paint film swelling is extensive, use a buffer
to repair.
3. Apply a light grit polishing compound to the affected areas by using a soft brush. The compound
should be applied to a small area at a time so that it can be buffed out while still wet to get
maximum efficiency.
4. Polish off the spots or swelling marks using a buffer that operates between 1700-1800 rpm.
Polishing should be confined to the affected areas only. Repeat as necessary until all spots or
marks are removed.
5. Remove spots on curved surfaces, near edges, and next to mouldings or ornaments by hand
polishing as follows:
a. Apply some polishing compound to a cotton cloth. (Do not use a synthetic cloth.)
b. Rub vigorously until the spots are no longer visible.
c. Clean off excess polishing compound by using a clean cloth and compressed air.
6. Buff out the polishing marks and bring up the gloss by using a buffer equipped with a clean, dry
lambs wool pad.
NOTE: IF POLISHING DOES NOT SUFFICIENTLY REMOVE DAMAGE, THE VEHICLE CAN BE
WET SANDED USING 1500 GRIT SANDPAPER AND THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE.
Wet Sanding Procedure
1. Clean the exterior surface of the vehicle with Ford Multi Purpose cleaner or an equivalent to
remove all organics.
2. Apply 1500 grit sandpaper to a rubber padded sanding block to sand the paint surface.
3. Use a squirt bottle filled with water to lubricate the 1500 grit sandpaper as you begin to sand only
the damaged areas. Water is an abrasive as well as a lubricant in this step.
NOTE: IF THE DAMAGE HAS GONE DEEPLY INTO THE PAINT FILM AND IT WILL NOT
POLISH OUT, THEN REFINISHING IS REQUIRED.
PAINT RECONDITIONING PROCEDURES FOR SEVERE DAMAGE
Acrylic enamel single stage or base/clear paint systems should be painted by using the following
procedure.
1. .Wash the vehicle with Ford Multi Purpose Cleaner or equivalent to remove all organic materials.
2. Wash the areas to be painted with wax and grease remover.
3. Prepare the area as follows:
a. Neutralize the affected areas with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and water.
b. Rinse the surface off with plain water.
c. Wash the panel with a mild soapy detergent.
d. Dry the panel completely.
NOTE: IF THE DAMAGE IS THROUGH THE TOP COAT FINISH AND INTO THE PRIMERS, THE
PANEL MUST BE SANDED DOWN TO BARE METAL OR PLASTIC AND THEN REFINISHED.

4. Apply a self-etching primer for metal surfaces only.
NOTE: A FLEX ADDITIVE MAY BE NECESSARY WHEN WORKING WITH FLEXIBLE PLASTICS
Then proceed as follows:
a. Let dry per instructions.
b. Apply a two component urethane primer surfacer.
c. Sand the surface with 400 grit sandpaper to get to proper finish.
d. Finish sanding with 600 grit sandpaper.
5. Solvent wash panel with wax and grease remover. Then, tack wipe it.
6. Apply base coat or top coat material per applicable paint system.
NOTE: THE USE OF ACRYLIC URETHANE ENAMEL IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR THIS
TYPE OF REPAIR.
7. Apply clear acrylic urethane if you are using a base/clear paint system.
WAYS TO MINIMIZE EFFECTS OF AIRBORN MATERIAL DAMAGE
During the past year, Ford Motor Company and major paint suppliers have participated in a survey
to analyze the effects of airborn materials. This survey was conducted on foreign and domestic
vehicles. It resulted in the following interesting conclusions.
1. Keeping the vehicles clean, washing frequently with de-ionized water and drying by hand or
mechanical means will help minimize the effects of inorganic and organic materials.
2. Spray washing without rubbing will not totally remove all residue on the surface of the vehicle.
Damage could possibly occur over a longer period of time.
3. Care should be taken to not allow any painted vehicle surface to become wet in direct sunlight.
(A sprinkler system can cause damage if the vehicles are not dried.) Possible alkaline water or
mineral deposit may be the cause.
4. The use of "Soft Lights" for lighting around storage lots and showing areas will minimize the
attraction of insects and the possibility of organic damage.
5. Ford Motor Company is piloting a program for a transit/storage coating to be applied on the
horizontal surfaces of all vehicles. These coatings have shown good protection to the paint surface.
They are clear in color and should be left on the vehicles until they are sold.
6. We are testing many "permanent paint sealants" used by dealers. Until all testing is completed,
we cannot give any recommendations for what products to use. Testing has shown that a sealant
that allows water to bead up on the vehicle does not help to dissipate the materials on the paint
surface. Sheeting of water on the vehicle is highly desirable.

(C) Lower Body Stone Protection Repair Tips
Ford has introduced a vinyl anti-stone abrasion material for the lower exterior body surfaces of
selected passenger vehicles and light trucks. The anti-stone abrasion material is applied to the
lower fenders, rocker panels, lower doors, quarter panel dogleg, and lower rear of quarter panel
behind the wheel. The anti-stone abrasion material will usually end at a body character line.

Bulletins > Technical Service Bulletins for Paint: > Page 6075
While primarily for servicing of factory-applied protective coating, the following provides installation
information. If the vehicle has experienced body damage in the factory-applied material protective
area, the sheet metal damage must be serviced prior to the application of the new protective
coating.
SMALL AREAS - MINOR DEFECTS (VEHICLES WITH FACTORY SPRAYED-ON VINYL)
A small dent in the sheet metal that did not mar the vinyl surface, can possibly be corrected with
proper bumping tools without damage to the vinyl coating. However, noticeable scratches or
gouges (not over 1/2 inch in diameter) or dings and dents that when "ironed out" show vinyl
damage, can be satisfactorily serviced with the following procedure:
1. Solvent-wipe the damaged area with "Silicone and Wax Remover."
2. Using a heat gun or lamp, soften the vinyl coating of the damaged area until it can be scraped off
with a putty knife or a similar tool. If necessary, sand off any hard to remove coating using an
orbital disc sander (No. 80 Disc). (The spray-on vinyl protective coatings may not be suitable for
"spot" application. See Manufacturer's label for instructions.)
3. Perform necessary servicing to correct the sheet metal damage.
4. Using white bodyfiller, fill the damaged area. Follow the instructions on the label and blend the
bodyfiller with the surrounding sheet metal.
5. Allow the bodyfiller to completely cure and then carefully sand the area smooth, removing any
high spots.
6. Refer to "Spray Procedure" for restoration of vinyl anti-stone abrasion material.
LARGE DAMAGED AREAS - VEHICLE WITH FACTORY SPRAYED ON VINYL
Peeling or damage over a large area will necessitate removal of the factory sprayed-on vinyl
coating. The following procedure is suggested.
NOTE: WHERE SHEET METAL IS DAMAGED TO THE EXTENT THAT A FENDER, DOOR, OR
QUARTER PANEL REPLACEMENT IS
REQUIRED (OR IN AN INITIAL INSTALLATION), DISREGARD STEPS NO. 1 AND NO. 2.
1. Using a heat gun or lamp, soften the vinyl coating until it is pliable. Scrape coating off with a
putty knife or a similar tool. If necessary, sand off any hard to remove coating using an orbital disc
sander (No. 80 Disc). (The vinyl material, abrasion resistant coating may not be suitable for "spot"
applications. See manufacturer's label for instructions.)
2. Perform necessary servicing to correct the sheet metal damage.
3. Refer to "Spray Procedure" for restoration of vinyl anti-stone abrasion material.
COATING APPLICATIONS
Approximately two quarts will be required for an initial installation on a passenger car or F-Series.
Slightly more will be required for an Econoline. The specified dry film thickness of 15 to 20 mils
(.015 to .020 inch) will require at least three, possibly four, applications of coating material, with
"flash off" time between coats. Spray coat complete panels only.
The coating must be applied with commercial equipment by an experienced automotive painter.
The coating must be thoroughly agitated before application. The material is heavy bodied. A
pressure cup spray gun or "Rocker Schutz Gun" is recommended.
COATING PREPARATION - MASKING VEHICLE
Install suitable covers over the wheels.
NOTE: IF THE VEHICLE HAS LOWER BODY SIDE MOULDINGS (12-14 INCHES ABOVE THE
"TURN UNDER" OF THE ROCKER PANEL),
THE MOULDING CAN SERVE AS THE UPPER MARGIN OF THE AREA TO BE COATED. IF
THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE SUITABLE MOULDINGS, A SCULPTURE OR BREAK LINE IN
THE SHEET METAL CAN BE UTILIZED. THIS LINE SHOULD BE SELECTED TO ENSURE
ADEQUATE PROTECTION OF THE PAINTED SURFACES.
VEHICLES WITH BODY SIDE MOULDINGS
1. Masking tape should be positioned so that the moulding lower edge is also covered. The
adjoining sheet metal should be left uncovered too so anti-stone, abrasion vinyl can be applied.
VEHICLES WITHOUT BODY SIDE MOULDINGS
2. If the contour of the body side has a break line, the upper coating margin must be masked off
using 3M "Fine Line" Tape.
Ford E 150 Van Workshop Manual (V8-302 5.0L (1985))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Paint, Striping and Decals > Paint > System Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Technical Service Bulletins for Paint: > Page 6076
a. The normal masking tape and paper protection for the body side should be applied first and
positioned about a quarter inch above the margin line.
b. The "Fine Line" tape should then be applied over the regular masking tape with the lower edge
at the upper coating margin line. Extend this "Fine Line" tape into the wheel opening, in the
absence of wheel opening mouldings, allowing the flange to be coated.
c. The anti-stone abrasion coating does not adhere well to flexible plastic parts. If left exposed, they
must be masked off.
d. It is not necessary to mask off the body door openings in the coating area, as they will be
uniformly coated where the door margins allow the coating to enter.
NOTE: DOOR OPENING AREAS SHOULD BE CLEANED TO ASSURE COATING ADHERENCE.
COATING PREPARATION - SHEET METAL
REPAIRED SHEETMETAL
1. Scuff sand (No. 180 Grit Paper) the glossy surface of the painted areas to be coated.
2. Using a clean, lint-free cloth, solvent wipe the area to be coated with wax and grease remover.
3. Remove sanding dust using compressed air and lint-free tack cloth.
NEW SHEET METAL
1. Sand off (No. 180 Grit Paper) the prime paint in the area to be coated.
2. Using a lint-free cloth, solvent wipe the area to be coated with wax and grease remover.
3. Remove sanding dust using compressed air and a lint-free tack cloth.
NEW INSTALLATION
1. The glossy surface of the paint in the coating area must be sanded with a D/A sander. A 220/240
Grit Disc does a good, fast job. DO NOT sand through the primer.
2. Using a clean, lint-free cloth, solvent wipe the area to be coated with wax and grease remover.
3. Remove sanding dust using compressed air and a lint-free tack cloth.
SPRAY PROCEDURE
The lower exposed painted fender, rocker, and quarter panel down flanges should be protected.
The vehicle must be elevated high enough so that the painter can spray this area effectively. When
an initial installation is to be made, a remote two-quart capacity pressure cup makes a much more
efficient tool, as the spray gun can be used closer to the floor. The spray gun, fluid hose and/or cup
must be cleaned immediately after use. Refer to manufacturer's recommended cleaning procedure.
Lacquer thinner can be used when the suggested clean up material is unavailable.
WARNING: WEAR A NOISHA/MSHA RECOMMENDED VAPOR/PARTICULATE RESPIRATOR
AND USE ALL OTHER RECOMMENDED SAFETY EOUIPMENT.
1. After preparing the new or damaged area(s), mix either Epoxy primer or Self-etch prime, per
manufacturer's label instructions, and spray bare metal areas.

NOTE: SOME ANTI-STONE ABRASION MATERIAL MAY REQUIRE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT
MIXING PREPARATION, PROCEDURE
AND APPLICATION. SOME ANTI-STONE ABRASION MATERIALS CAN NOT BE USED FOR
SPOT REPAIR. CHECK WITH THE PAINT MANUFACTURER FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
ABOUT THEIR PRODUCT.
5. Allow the stone abrasion material to dry. Heat can be used to accelerate the drying time. Check
the manufacturer's instructions.
COLOR COAT
The complete coated area, as well as the upper raw edge, must be covered with color coat. Mask
off the upper margin line using "Fine Line" tape positioned 1/16 inch above the coating edge. Using
appropriate service paint and application procedures, the protective coating area can now be finish
painted with monocoat or a basecoat/clearcoat urethane system.
NOTE: IF DAMAGED SHEET METAL EXTENDS ABOVE THE PROTECTIVE COATING AREA,
NORMAL PRIME/COLOR PAINT PROCEDURES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED.

(E) Lower Body-Side Stone Chip Protection Program
Ford Motor Company has recently initiated a program to provide improved stone-chip protection on
some vehicles and to increase the corrosion protection on cars and trucks.
Some customers are unaware of body side anti-stone chip protection which appears as wavy
orange peel texture on the lower body areas.
Ford is increasing the use of PVC (poly vinyl chloride) material which is applied in a thicker coating
on the lower body-side. This material has been in use on vehicles destined for the Canadian
market for many years.
This PVC material is now applied at the following plants on ALL vehicles.
^ Edison - Ranger
^ Hermosillo - Escort/Tracer
^ Louisville - Ranger and Explorer
^ Ohio Truck - Econoline
^ Wayne - Escort/Tracer
This process is also planned for Kansas City, Oakville, Twin Cities and Wixom.
This material can be identified by the "orange peel" appearance and a visible "break-line" between
protected and unprotected areas in the lower body areas.
CAUTION: THIS PROTECTION MUST NOT BE REMOVED IF VEHICLE IS EXPECTED TO
MAINTAIN THE CORROSION PROTECTION.
Some customers have expressed concerns due to the appearance of the treated areas. These
customers did not know about the extra protection this material provides their vehicle. Once
explained, customers were pleased with the added protection and accepted the orange peel finish.
NOTE: DEALERS SHOULD ADVISE THEIR SALES PEOPLE, SERVICE PEOPLE, AND
CUSTOMERS, OF THE REASONS AND BENEFITS
OF THIS PROTECTION. CANADIAN DEALERS STRESS THIS AS A SELLING POINT WITH
THEIR SALES PEOPLE. IT IS CONSIDERED A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE.
(F) Surface Defect Removal Without Repainting
Exterior paint surface damage or imperfections, where the primer coat does not show through,
should be restored without repainting. The restoration of gloss and luster, after the condition has
been repaired, is possible with new techniques and improved materials.
The following procedure is applicable to surface conditions such as dirt particles, orange peel, runs,
sags, industrial fallout stains, swirl marks, light scratches and other minor surface imperfections.
For dirt particles or scratches in several localized areas, the entire panel should be refinished to
maintain a uniform appearance.
PREPARATION
To repair the affected surface it must be clean and dry. Mask off adjacent panels, mouldings, stripe
and character lines as required.
CAUTION: EYE PROTECTION, AND FACE MASK SHOULD BE WORN. RINGS, BRACELETS,
WATCHES AND BELT BUCKLES MUST BE
REMOVED TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE TO PAINT FINISH.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove sanding marks with rubbing compound.
Ford E 150 Van Workshop Manual (V8-302 5.0L (1985))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Paint, Striping and Decals > Paint > System Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Technical Service Bulletins for Paint: > Page 6082
2. Swirl marks, evident after buffing, are removed by polishing.
3. Remove light scratches and small dirt particles with a power buffer and medium buffing
compound followed with polishing.
4. Remove deeper scratches and heavy dirt particles or orange peel, by wet sanding.
5. Buff with compound to remove the sanding marks and then polish to remove the swirl marks
from the buffing operation.
NOTE: PERFORM A TRIAL REPAIR WITH A SMALL AREA. FIRST, TRY POLISHING; IF THIS IS
NOT SUCCESSFUL, TRY BUFFING
AND, FINALLY, USE WET SANDING TO REMOVE THE CONDITION. USE MOST EFFECTIVE
TECHNIQUE ON REMAINDER OF AREAS. AN OUTLINE OF THE COMPLETE PROCEDURE
AND REQUIRED MATERIALS FOLLOWS.
POLISHING - VERY MINOR SCRATCHES OR SWIRL MARKS AND/OR RESTORING A DULL
FINISH
1. Apply a small amount of Meguiar's Mirror Glaze, or equivalent, to the affected panel (or pad).
2. Use a suitable electric or air powered polish/buffing wheel (1750 max. RPM) and a Meguiar's
Finesse Polishing Pad, or equivalent, to polish the affected area until all swirl marks are gone and
desired luster is obtained.
3. When polishing, keep the pad flat against the surface. Do not bear down. The weight of the
buffer is sufficient.
CAUTION: DO NOT MIX PRODUCTS! USE A SEPARATE, DEDICATED BUFFING PAD FOR
EACH PRODUCT TO ACHIEVE DESIRED
RESULTS.
Variable speed buffers are available in a variety of buffing speeds. The recommended speed range
is 1200-1750 RPM.
COMPOUNDING - LIGHT SCRATCHES, SMALL DIRT PARTICLES, MINOR GRIND MARKS,
AND SANDING MARKS
1. Apply Meguiar's Rubbing Compound (medium) or equivalent to the panel with a clean compound
pad on the wheel.
2. Spread the compound evenly and continue buffing until the condition is removed.
3. Keep the wheel flat to the surface and use light to moderate pressure and long strokes.
4. Periodically check the finish and add compound as required.
5. When buffing is complete, polish the panel as described previously.
Twisted wool cutting pads are the most effective compounding pads to use with Glaze Machine
Cleaner for removing paint defects and heavy oxidation. Following the use of a wool compounding
pad, it may be necessary to polish the finish with No. 2 Mirror Glaze Hi-Tech Cleaner using a Mirror
Glaze Finesse Polishing Pad to remove the deep swirl marks.
GENERAL TECHNIQUES AND HINTS
^ "Foam" buffing pads create added gloss and depth of color on all types of paint finishes without
creating buffer swirl marks.
^ When "buffing out" oxidation or other paint defects with a cleaning material, use a liberal amount
of material, slower buffing motion and added downward pressure to increase cutting action.
^ Always apply cleaner to buffing pad, not directly on the oxidized paint surface. Dry paint absorbs
material into pores upon contact.
^ Always keep the face of the buffing pad completely flat to the surface, reducing the risk of buffer
swirl marks. Watch your pad, especially on angled surfaces, to be certain that it stays flat.
^ Avoid short rapid strokes. Move the buffer slowly across the surface using long straight motions
and overlap by 50% the buffing pattern left by the previous pass. This insures uniform coverage
and allows both material and buffer to perform at maximum efficiency.
^ Avoid buffing directly on raised character lines. The reduced paint film on these surfaces
increases the risk of paint burn through. It is best to buff up to them from each side.
^ Always use a "wet buff" technique on a basecoat/clearcoat finish. This is a precaution against
buffer swirls. Stop buffing just after the product begins to break down and before an overall dry,
glossy finish appears. After "wet buffing", use a towel to wipe off the excess material.
^ Always use a "dry buff" technique on light colored, conventional paint finishes. Continue buffing
until the material breaks down and only a slight film remains for final wipe off.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Paint, Striping and Decals > Paint > System Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Technical Service Bulletins for Paint: > Page 6083
^ If a paint blemish remains after buffing, reapply a small amount of material over the blemish.
Confine your buffing strokes to the immediate area of the blemish while applying additional
downward pressure and keeping the pad flat.
NOTE: ALWAYS KEEP THE PAD MOVING AND LIMIT YOUR STROKES OVER THE BLEMISH
TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE HEAT
BUILD-UP AND POSSIBLE BURN THROUGH. STOP IMMEDIATELY IF THE SURFACE
BECOMES TOO HOT TO LAY THE PALM OF YOUR HAND ON IT.
NOTE: HEAT BUILD-UP: WHEN BUFFING CREATES EXCESSIVE HEAT, HAZING MAY
APPEAR ACROSS THE SURFACE BEING
BUFFED AND THE PRODUCT MAY DRY LIKE A FILM AND REFUSE TO BUFF OUT. TO
REMEDY, WIPE THE AREA DOWN WITH COOL WATER, DRY THE SURFACE AND RESUME
BUFFING ... AT A LOWER RPM IF POSSIBLE.
NOTE: STATIC: STATIC ELECTRICITY MAY BE PRESENT ON PAINTED
FIBERGLASS/PLASTIC SURFACE BEING BUFFED, THE
MATERIAL MAY DRY LIKE A FILM OR TURN "GUMMY" AND BEGIN TO BALL UP. TO
REMEDY, GROUND THE SURFACE BEING BUFFED TO METAL.
WET SANDING
Paint defects and sanding marks must be completely removed without using compounds and
abrasive cleaners that scar the finish.
Mirror Glaze Hi-Tech Finesse Sanding Papers provide uniformity in grit particle size and
distribution. Using these precision made sanding papers, water sanding marks can be removed
with Meguiar's cleaner and finesse polishing pads.
^ Typical paint defects that are repaired with this system include: dirt-in paint, solvent pop,
cratering, orange peel, drips, scratches, water spots, and acid rain.
^ Always use the least abrasive (highest grit) sanding products possible to do this job.
The following wet sanding procedure utilizes light grit sand paper or sanding blocks for removal of
surface damage. These materials cut quickly leaving a uniform finish requiring a minimum of
buffing to restore gloss.
PROCEDURE
1. Squeeze water to flush the area to be sanded. Continue to flush water to the surface during
sanding for maximum lubrication.
2. Use small circular motions to contain the abrasion to the immediate area of the defect. Keep the
blocks in water when not in use.
3. If the sanding block is cutting too slow, switch to a lower grade block and resume sanding. When
90% of the defect is removed, switch to a 2000 grade Finesse Sanding Paper or Sanding Block to
finish smoothing and prepare the surface for buffing.
4. Finesse Sanding Blocks can be shaped to work on any angle. When the block is wet, rub it
against a dry sanding block for shaping.
5. When using Finesse Sanding Papers, wrap the paper tightly around a E-7200 Backing Pad. This
pad evenly distributes pressure over the entire surface of the sanding paper. This creates a uniform
sanding pattern.
6. Plan your strokes to limit the abrasion to the smallest area possible.
NOTE: ALWAYS SAND IN ONE DIRECTION AND KEEP YOUR STROKES STRAIGHT.
7. Always finish sanding with 2000 Grit Finesse Sanding Paper. This eliminates the need for
compounding.
8. Buff out sanding marks by applying Meguiar's Cleaner with a Finesse "Foam" Polishing Pad.
Follow with a Mirror Glaze Polish for swirl-free gloss.

COMPOUNDS (V.O.C.'s) OR EXCESS MATERIALS
RUNS AND SAGS REMOVAL
This procedure consists of shaving the run or sag flush with a commercial single edge razor blade,
shaving file or sanding with a hard block and then compounding.
NOTE: IF IT IS NECESSARY TO SHAVE RUNS AND SAGS WITH A RAZOR BLADE, FIRST
DULL THE CORNERS WITH SANDPAPER TO AVOID SCRATCHING THE ADJACENT PANEL
FINISH.

(G) Color Compatible Spray Primer Chart
Ford has released color compatible spray primers for exterior and some interior surfaces.
Colored sprayed primers are being used by our "Best-in-Class" competition and are now being
implemented at Ford in order to improve process capability and to help in minimizing unsightly
paint chipping from stone abrasion. Color keyed (matched) spray primer for exterior body colors is
being used in an effort to help in the elimination of unsightly paint chipping from stone abrasion.
As with "Best-In-Class" competition, the engine compartment will be left with color compatible
primer only and not be topcoated as per past practice.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to include the latest level parts and to include a
revised Service Procedure.
ISSUE
The following TSB contains information regarding the cleaning of interior leather seats and trim.
Improper cleaning procedures may damage the leather. If seats are not cleaned on a regular basis
(every 4-6 weeks), normal wear and tear can cause excessive soiling.
ACTION
Ford Motor Company has developed a new kit (Deluxe Leather Care Kit - F8AZ-19G253-AA) to
clean soiled seats without damaging the top coat of the leather. The kit contains a leather and vinyl
cleaner along with a specially formulated sponge.
Refer to the text for cleaning leather seats and trim.
The Deluxe Leather Care Kit has been tested and approved for use on all Ford and
Lincoln/Mercury leather and vinyl seating surfaces, and if used as directed, should be used for
service repairs. Many household cleaners and sponges are too harsh to be used on leather and
may actually cause permanent damage to the surface.
Use this material on leather and vinyl seats that:
^ show excessive soiling
^ have been stained with coffee, lipstick, etc.

two vacuum ports and an atmospheric vent. When the solenoid is de-energized, the vacuum valve
assembly outlet port is open to the atmospheric vent and closed to the inlet port. When the
solenoid is energized, outlet port is open to the inlet port and closed to the atmospheric vent. Some
normally closed solenoid vacuum valves also incorporate a control bleed to prevent contamination
from the solenoid vacuum valve from entering the intake manifold. This solenoid valve assembly
can be used in the exhaust heat control valve , throttle kicker, air dump or air diverter valve
systems. The normally open and normally closed solenoid vacuum valve assembly, incorporates
two solenoid valves which operate independently of each other, but are mounted to a single
mounting bracket. Each solenoid valve controls a different device. This valve assembly is used to
control the Thermactor air bypass and Thermactor diverter. The one port normally open and two
port normally closed solenoid vacuum valve assembly also consist of two solenoid valve
assemblies mounted to a single mounting bracket. This valve assembly is used to control the A/C
throttle kicker and choke pulldown.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Ammeter Gauge > Component Information
> Testing and Inspection
Ammeter Gauge: Testing and Inspection
The ammeter is an instrument used to indicate current flow into and out of the battery. When
electrical accessories in the vehicle draw more current than the alternator can supply, current flows
from the battery and the ammeter indicates a discharge ( - ) condition. When electrical loads of the
vehicle are less than alternator output, current is available to charge the battery, and the ammeter
indicates a charge (+) condition. If battery is fully charged, the voltage regulator reduces alternator
output to meet only immediate vehicle electrical loads. When this happens, ammeter reads zero.
Fig. 1 Conventional type ammeter
CONVENTIONAL AMMETER
A conventional ammeter must be connected between the battery and alternator in order to indicate
current flow. This type ammeter, Fig. 1, consists of a frame to which a permanent magnet is
attached. The frame also supports an armature and pointer assembly. Current in this system flows
from the alternator through the ammeter, then to the battery or from the battery through the
ammeter into the vehicle electrical system, depending on vehicle operating conditions. When no
current flows through the ammeter, the magnet holds the pointer armature so that the pointer
stands at the center of the dial. When current passes in either direction through the ammeter, the
resulting magnetic field attracts the armature away from the effect of the permanent magnet, thus
giving a reading proportional to the strength of the current flowing.
Troubleshooting When the ammeter apparently fails to register correctly, there may be trouble in
the wiring which connects the ammeter to the alternator and battery or in the alternator or battery
itself. To check the connections, first tighten the two terminal posts on the back of the ammeter.
Then, following each wire from the ammeter, tighten all connections on the ignition switch, battery
and alternator. Chafed, burned or broken insulation can be found by following each ammeter wire
from end to end. All wires with chafed, burned or broken insulation should be repaired or replaced.
After this is done, and all connections are tightened, connect the battery cable and turn on the
ignition switch. The needle should point slightly to the discharge ( - ) side. Start the engine and run
slightly above idling speed. The needle should move slowly to the charge side (+). If the pointer
does not move as indicated, the ammeter is out of order and should be replaced.
SHUNT TYPE AMMETER The shunt type ammeter is actually a specifically calibrated voltmeter. It
is connected to read voltage drop across a resistance wire (shunt) between the battery and
alternator. The shunt is located either in the vehicle wiring or within the ammeter itself. When
voltage is higher at the alternator end of the shunt, the meter indicates a charge (+) condition.
When voltage is higher at the battery end of the shunt, the meter indicates a discharge ( - )
condition. When voltage is equal at both ends of the shunt, the meter reads zero. Troubleshooting
Ammeter accuracy can be determined by comparing reading with an ammeter of known accuracy.
1. With engine stopped and ignition switch in RUN position, switch on headlamps and heater fan.
Meter should indicate a discharge ( - ) condition.
2. If ammeter pointer does not move, check ammeter terminals for proper connection and check for
open circuit in wiring harness. If connections and wiring harness are satisfactory, ammeter is
defective.
3. If ammeter indicates a charge (+) condition, wiring harness connections are reversed at
ammeter.

Clock: Testing and Inspection
Regulation of electric clocks is accomplished automatically by resetting the time. If the clock is
running fast, the action of turning the hands back to correct the time will automatically cause the
clock to run slightly slower. If the clock is running slow, the action of turning the hands forward to
correct the time will automatically cause the clock to run slightly faster (10 to 15 seconds daily). A
lockout feature prevents the clock regulator mechanism from being reset more than once per wind
cycle, regardless of the number of times the time is reset. After the clock rewinds, if the time is then
reset, automatic regulation will take place. If a clock varies over 10 minutes per day, it will never
adjust properly and must be repaired or replaced.
WINDING CLOCK WHEN CONNECTING BATTERY OR CLOCK WIRING The clock requires
special attention when reconnecting a battery that has been disconnected for any reason, a clock
that has been disconnected, or when replacing a blown clock fuse. It is very important that the
initial wind be fully made. The procedure is as follows:
1. Make sure that all other instruments and lights are turned off.
2. Connect positive cable to battery.
3. Before connecting the negative cable, press the terminal to its post on the battery. Immediately
afterward, strike the terminal against the battery post to see if there is a spark. If there is a spark,
allow the clock to run down until it stops ticking, and repeat as above until there is no spark. Then
immediately make the permanent connection before the clock can again run down. The clock will
run down in approximately two minutes.
4. Reset clock after all connections have been made. The foregoing procedure should also be
followed when reconnecting the clock after it has been disconnected, or if it has stopped because
of a blown fuse. Be sure to disconnect battery before installing a new fuse.
TROUBLESHOOTING If clock does not run, check for blown ``clock'' fuse. If fuse is blown, check
for short in wiring. If fuse is not blown, check for open circuit. With an electric clock, the most
frequent cause of clock fuse blowing is voltage at the clock which will prevent a complete wind and
allow clock contacts to remain closed. This may be caused by any of the following: discharged
battery, corrosion on contact surface of battery terminals, loose connections at battery terminals, at
junction block, at fuse clips, or at terminal connection of clock. Therefore, if in reconnecting battery
or clock it is noted that the clock is not ticking, always check for blown fuse, or examine the circuits
at the points indicated above to determine and correct the cause.

The emission maintenance warning system functions with two microprocessor modules. One
module is the inferred mileage sensor (IMS) and the other is the emission maintenance warning
(EMW) module. The IMS module is not part of the emission light circuit. The IMS module sends a
signal to the engine control assembly (ECA) at a predetermined time which then automatically
makes appropriate internal emission control adjustments.
The EMW module is a timing device that turns the "EMISSIONS" light on at approximately 60,000
miles, indicating required emission system maintenance. 1985 light trucks built prior to January
1985 have a non-resetable EMW module and require part replacement if the "EMISSIONS" light
stays on. Later vehicles are equipped with a resetable EMW module and can be reset as described
in the 1985 Car/LightTruck EngineElectrical-Emissions Shop Manual, page 18-6. An additional
EMW module is available and is used only for vehicles with approximately 30,000 miles. This
module will ensure that the "EMISSIONS" light will still be illuminated as required at 60,000 miles.
Locations for the EMW/IMS modules are as follows:
Model Location
F Series Left side of steering column on instruEconoline ment panel support.
Bronco
Aerostar Left side of steering column mounted on the EEC-IV processor bracket.
Ranger Behind and above the glove box.
Bronco II Mounted on the instrument panel. (May require glove box removal.)
The IMS and EMW modules are located side by side. The EMW module is the only part that
normally requires replacement. It can be identified by a "RESET" sticker and brown plastic housing.
The IMS module is black in color and has no stickers.

Installation Note
E/F Series and Bronco access is limited. Installing a new module may require slotting of the upper
mounting hole on the module flange (see Figure 13). This allows starting of the upper screw in the
instrument panel support so the module can then be slid under the screw head before tightening.

ISSUE: The accuracy of speedometer/odometer readings may be influenced by several vehicle
components or systems. The information in this TSB article is intended to assist technicians in
speedometer/odometer concern diagnosis.
ACTION: Use the following supplemental information below to assist in speedometer/odometer
diagnostics.
OPERATION
A mechanical analog speedometer displays vehicle speed and the odometer displays total distance
traveled. The speedometer/odometer assembly is cable driven by either a transmission or a
transaxle. All speedometer/odometer assemblies, except for police vehicles are the same with
respect to the speed accuracy tolerance used during calibration. The odometer gear ratio is fixed
so that all are identical and have no error in the speedometer head.
Electronic digital operation is similar. It could use a drive cable or a speed sensor to drive the
speedometer/odometer. An electronic signal is sent from a speed sensor to the digital
speedometer/ odometer assembly. The speed sensor is driven by a transmission or a transaxle,
similar to a cable.
Several areas of concern that may affect speedometer/ odometer readings are tires, axle gear ratio
and speedometer/odometer drive and driven gears.
TIRES
Improper tire rolling radius and inflation pressure, temperature and size may contribute to
inaccurate system readings. System accuracy testing should be performed after the tires are set at
the correct pressure as shown on the safety compliance certification label. The tires should be
warmed for a short period. Best results are obtained on smooth, dry pavement while driving at a
constant speed within the posted speed limit.
AXLE/TRANSAXLE RATIO
The gear ratio of the rear axle or the final drive ratio of the transaxle must be known to select or
check if the proper speedometer/odometer drive and driven gears are present. Various gear ratios
are available, but usually are not a concern when dealing with speedometer/odometer concerns
unless the gear ratio has been changed.
WARNING: NEVER CORRECT SPEEDOMETER READINGS BY CHANGING GEARS UNLESS
THE ODOMETER IS ALSO OFF. DRIVE/DRIVEN GEARS
The speedometer/odometer drive gear is located inside the transmission, transaxle or transfer case
and is not easily accessed for change. The driven gear rotates the speedometer cable. Rear wheel
drive vehicles have several driven gears with various numbers of teeth available to correct input to
the speedometer/odometer head. Front wheel drive vehicles generally do not offer different gears
for correction.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The maximum allowable odometer system accuracy error is +/- 3.75% of the actual distance
traveled. Ford Motor vehicles are well within those limits.
The speed indication is biased high, except on police vehicles with certified calibration
speedometers/ odometers. As a general rule, the indicated speed is equal to or greater than the
actual speed. This is intended to protect the consumer against violating speed laws. Most customer
concerns are related to speedometers reading too high at true speeds between 50 MPH and 65
MPH (80 - 105 Km/h). At that speed range, the worst case errors may indicate a speed that is 10%
greater than true speed.
The speedometer head is an instrument which processes information sent to it by the rotating
speedometer cable. If the system components send the
Ford E 150 Van Workshop Manual (V8-302 5.0L (1985))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Odometer > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Speedometer/Odometer - Inaccurate Readings > Page 6285
wrong number of revolution per mile to the speedometer head, an inaccurate speed reading and
amount of distanced traveled will be displayed. Since there is no error in the fixed gear ratio of the
speedometer head odometer, start by checking the accuracy of the odometer even if the customer
concern indicates a speed accuracy problem. Odometer accuracy can be checked by using roads
established at mile increments or a known local course. If roads with mile markers are used, a five
mile stretch is recommended to allow for inaccuracies. If an error is greater than 3.75%, a change
to the transmission drive/driven gear selection, tire size, or tire inflation may need attention. The
odometer should be checked again to verify any corrective action. If the indicated speed error
exceeds 10% between 50 MPH and 60 MPH (80 - 105 Km/h), replace the speedometer/odometer
assembly. Vehicles with transfer cases that have fluctuating readings may be due to slippage of
drive gears, parts not splined or loose yoke nuts.
If the vehicle has speed control, the speed accuracy can be checked using the verified odometer
vs. time. The formula is as follows:

Oil Level Warning Indicator: Description and Operation
This system is used to indicate a low engine oil level condition. The lamp will be illuminated during
engine starting. If oil level is sufficient, the lamp will go off when engine is operating. If oil level is
low the lamp will remain on until engine oil is added and the ignition switch is placed in the Off
position. The module may take a few minutes to reset. If the engine is started during this period,
the last recorded reading will be displayed.

Oil Pressure Gauge: Testing and Inspection
This oil pressure indicating system incorporates an instrument voltage regulator, electrical oil
pressure gauge and a sending unit which are connected in series. The sending unit consists of a
diaphragm, contact and a variable resistor. As oil pressure increases or decreases, the diaphragm
actuated the contact on the variable resistor, in turn controlling current flow to the gauge. When oil
pressure is low, the resistance of the variable resistor is high, restricting current flow to the gauge,
in turn indicating low oil pressure. As oil pressure increases, the resistance of the variable resistor
is lowered, permitting an increased current flow to the gauge, resulting in an increased gauge
reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions
included with the tester.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
Many trucks utilize a warning light on the instrument panel in place of the conventional dash
indicating gauge to warn the driver when the oil pressure is dangerously low. The warning light is
wired in series with the ignition switch and the engine unit--which is an oil pressure switch. The oil
pressure switch contains a diaphragm and a set of contacts. When the ignition switch is turned on,
the warning light circuit is energized and the circuit is completed through the closed contacts in the
pressure switch. When the engine is started, build-up of oil pressure compresses the diaphragm,
opening the contacts, thereby breaking the circuit and putting out the light.
TROUBLESHOOTING The oil pressure warning light should go on when the ignition is turned on. If
it does not light, disconnect the wire from the engine unit and ground the wire to the frame or
cylinder block. Then if the warning light still does not go on with the ignition switch on, replace the
bulb. If the warning light goes on when the wire is grounded to the frame or cylinder block, the
engine unit should be checked for being loose or poorly grounded. If the unit is found to be tight
and properly grounded, it should be removed and a new one installed. (The presence of sealing
compound on the threads of the engine unit will cause a poor ground). If the warning light remains
lit when it normally should be out, replace the engine unit before proceeding further to determine
the cause for a low pressure indication. The warning light will sometimes light up or flicker when the
engine is idling, even though the oil pressure is adequate. However, the light should go out when
the engine speed is increased.

Speedometer Cable: Testing and Inspection
The following material covers only that service on speedometers which is feasible to perform.
Repairs on the units themselves are not included as they require special tools and extreme care
when making repairs and adjustments that only an experienced speedometer mechanic should
attempt. The speedometer has two main parts, the speedometer head and the speedometer drive
cable. When the speedometer fails to indicate speed or mileage, the cable or cable housing is
probably broken. On vehicles are equipped with speed control, there is a speed sensor attached to
the transmission. This is used to sense the revolutions of cable assembly and to regulate speed
control.
SPEEDOMETER CABLE Most cables are broken due to lack of lubrication, or a sharp bend or kink
in the housing. A cable might break because of the speedometer head mechanism binds. In such
cases, the speedometer head should be repaired or replaced before a new cable or housing is
installed. A ``jumpy'' pointer condition, together with a scraping noise, is due, in most instances, to
a dry or kinked speedometer cable. The kinked cable rubs on the housing and winds up, slowing
down the pointer. The cable then unwinds and the pointer ``jumps.'' To check for kinks, remove the
cable, lay it on a flat surface and twist one end with the fingers. If it turns over smoothly the cable is
not kinked. But if part of the cable flops over as it is twisted, the cable is kinked and should be
replaced.
LUBRICATION The speedometer cable should be lubricated with special cable lubricant. Fill the
ferrule on the upper end of the housing with the cable lubricant. Insert the cable in the housing,
starting at the upper end. Turn the cable around carefully while feeding it into the housing. Repeat
filling the ferrule except for the last six inches of cable. Too much lubricant at this point may cause
the lubricant to work into the speedometer head.
INSTALLING CABLE During installation, if the cable sticks when inserted in the housing and will
not go through, the housing is damaged inside or kinked. Be sure to check the housing from one
end to the other. Straighten any sharp bends by relocating clamps or elbows. Replace housing if it
is badly kinked or broken. Position the cable and housing so that they lead into the head as straight
as possible. Check the new cable for kinks before installing it. Use wide, sweeping, gradual curves
where the cable comes out of the transmission and connects to the head so the cable will not be
damaged during installation. Arrange the housing so it does not lean against the engine because
heat from the engine may dry out the lubricant. If inspection indicates that the cable and housing
are in good condition, yet pointer action is erratic, check the speedometer head for possible
binding. The speedometer drive pinion should also be checked. If the pinion is dry or its teeth are
stripped, the speedometer may not register properly.

ISSUE: The accuracy of speedometer/odometer readings may be influenced by several vehicle
components or systems. The information in this TSB article is intended to assist technicians in
speedometer/odometer concern diagnosis.
ACTION: Use the following supplemental information below to assist in speedometer/odometer
diagnostics.
OPERATION
A mechanical analog speedometer displays vehicle speed and the odometer displays total distance
traveled. The speedometer/odometer assembly is cable driven by either a transmission or a
transaxle. All speedometer/odometer assemblies, except for police vehicles are the same with
respect to the speed accuracy tolerance used during calibration. The odometer gear ratio is fixed
so that all are identical and have no error in the speedometer head.
Electronic digital operation is similar. It could use a drive cable or a speed sensor to drive the
speedometer/odometer. An electronic signal is sent from a speed sensor to the digital
speedometer/ odometer assembly. The speed sensor is driven by a transmission or a transaxle,
similar to a cable.
Several areas of concern that may affect speedometer/ odometer readings are tires, axle gear ratio
and speedometer/odometer drive and driven gears.
TIRES
Improper tire rolling radius and inflation pressure, temperature and size may contribute to
inaccurate system readings. System accuracy testing should be performed after the tires are set at
the correct pressure as shown on the safety compliance certification label. The tires should be
warmed for a short period. Best results are obtained on smooth, dry pavement while driving at a
constant speed within the posted speed limit.
AXLE/TRANSAXLE RATIO
The gear ratio of the rear axle or the final drive ratio of the transaxle must be known to select or
check if the proper speedometer/odometer drive and driven gears are present. Various gear ratios
are available, but usually are not a concern when dealing with speedometer/odometer concerns
unless the gear ratio has been changed.
WARNING: NEVER CORRECT SPEEDOMETER READINGS BY CHANGING GEARS UNLESS
THE ODOMETER IS ALSO OFF. DRIVE/DRIVEN GEARS
The speedometer/odometer drive gear is located inside the transmission, transaxle or transfer case
and is not easily accessed for change. The driven gear rotates the speedometer cable. Rear wheel
drive vehicles have several driven gears with various numbers of teeth available to correct input to
the speedometer/odometer head. Front wheel drive vehicles generally do not offer different gears
for correction.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The maximum allowable odometer system accuracy error is +/- 3.75% of the actual distance
traveled. Ford Motor vehicles are well within those limits.
The speed indication is biased high, except on police vehicles with certified calibration
speedometers/ odometers. As a general rule, the indicated speed is equal to or greater than the
actual speed. This is intended to protect the consumer against violating speed laws. Most customer
concerns are related to speedometers reading too high at true speeds between 50 MPH and 65
MPH (80 - 105 Km/h). At that speed range, the worst case errors may indicate a speed that is 10%
greater than true speed.
The speedometer head is an instrument which processes information sent to it by the rotating
speedometer cable. If the system components send the
Ford E 150 Van Workshop Manual (V8-302 5.0L (1985))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Speedometer Head > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Speedometer/Odometer - Inaccurate Readings > Page 6334
wrong number of revolution per mile to the speedometer head, an inaccurate speed reading and
amount of distanced traveled will be displayed. Since there is no error in the fixed gear ratio of the
speedometer head odometer, start by checking the accuracy of the odometer even if the customer
concern indicates a speed accuracy problem. Odometer accuracy can be checked by using roads
established at mile increments or a known local course. If roads with mile markers are used, a five
mile stretch is recommended to allow for inaccuracies. If an error is greater than 3.75%, a change
to the transmission drive/driven gear selection, tire size, or tire inflation may need attention. The
odometer should be checked again to verify any corrective action. If the indicated speed error
exceeds 10% between 50 MPH and 60 MPH (80 - 105 Km/h), replace the speedometer/odometer
assembly. Vehicles with transfer cases that have fluctuating readings may be due to slippage of
drive gears, parts not splined or loose yoke nuts.
If the vehicle has speed control, the speed accuracy can be checked using the verified odometer
vs. time. The formula is as follows:
3600 divided by TIME (seconds to cover one mile) = TRUE MPH (Km/h) EXAMPLES:
60 MPH (96 Km/h) requires 60 seconds to cover one mile
55 MPH (88 Km/h) requires 65 and 3/4 seconds to cover one mile
50 MPH (80 Km/h) requires 72 seconds to cover one mile

Temperature Gauge: Testing and Inspection Dash Gauge Test
Gauge failures are often caused by defective wiring or grounds. The first step in locating trouble
should be a thorough inspection of all wiring, terminals and printed circuits. If wiring is secured by
clamps, check to see whether the insulation has been severed, thereby grounding the wire. In the
case of a fuel gauge installation, rust may cause failure by corrosion at the ground connection of
the tank unit. The Constant Voltage Regulator (CVR) type indicator is a bimetal-resistance type
system consisting of an Instrument Voltage Regulator (IVR), an indicator gauge, and a variable
resistance sending unit. Current to the system is applied to the gauge terminals by the IVR, which
maintains an average-pulsating value of 5 volts. The indicator gauge consists of a pointer which is
attached to a wire-wound bimetal strip. Current passing through the coil heats the bimetal strip,
causing the pointer to move. As more current passes through the coil, heat increases, moving the
pointer farther. The circuit is completed through a sending unit which contains a variable resistor.
When resistance is high, less current is allowed to pass through the gauge, and the pointer moves
very little. As resistance decreases due to changing conditions in system being monitored, more
current passes through gauge coil, causing pointer to move farther. Do not apply battery voltage to
system or ground output terminals of IVR, as damage to system components or wiring circuits may
result.
DASH GAUGE TEST
1. Disconnect battery ground cable and remove gauge from vehicle.
2. Connect ohmmeter between gauge terminals and read coil winding resistance.
3. An upward movement of ohmmeter needle from 10 ohms to 14 ohms is normal, as test current
of ohmmeter causes a temperature rise in gauge coil windings.
4. If ohmmeter reads below 10 ohms or above 14 ohms, gauge is defective.

Temperature Gauge: Testing and Inspection Electrical Temperature Gauges
This temperature indicating system consists of a sending unit, located on the cylinder head,
electrical temperature gauge and an instrument voltage regulator. As engine temperature increases
or decreases, the resistance of the sending unit changes, in turn controlling current flow to the
gauge. When engine temperature is low, the resistance of the sending unit is high, restricting
current flow to the gauge, in turn indicating low engine temperature. As engine temperature
increases, the resistance of the ending unit decreases, permitting an increased current flow to the
gauge, resulting in an increased temperature reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions
included with the tester.

Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
A bimetal temperature switch located in the cylinder head control the operation of a temperature
indicator light with a red lens. If the engine cooling system is not functioning properly and coolant
temperature exceeds a predetermined value, the warning light will illuminate.
TROUBLESHOOTING If the red light is not lit when the engine is being cranked, check for a
burned out bulb, an open in the light circuit, or a defective ignition switch. If the red light is lit when
the engine is running, check the wiring between light and switch for a ground, defective
temperature switch, or overheated cooling system. As a test circuit to check whether the red bulb is
functioning properly, a wire which is connected to the ground terminal of the ignition switch is
tapped into its circuit. When the ignition is in the ``Start'' (engine cranking) position, the ground
terminal is grounded inside the switch and the red bulb will be lit. When the engine is started and
the ignition switch is in the ``On'' position, the test circuit is opened and the bulb is then controlled
by the temperature switch.

The voltmeter is a gauge which measures the electrical flow from the battery to indicate whether
the battery output is within tolerances. The voltmeter reading can range from 13.5---14.0 volts
under normal operating conditions. If an undercharge or overcharge condition is indicated for an
extended period, the battery and charging system should be checked.
TROUBLESHOOTING To check voltmeter, turn key and headlights on with engine off. Pointer
should move to 12.5 volts. If no needle movement is observed, check connections from battery to
circuit breaker. If connections are tight and meter shows no movement, check wire continuity. If
wire continuity is satisfactory, the meter is inoperative and must be replaced.

1. Locate horn relay wire connector marked X and Y, Figs. 3, 4 and 5.
2. Using connector X, locate wire 460, then using a suitable voltmeter, check for battery voltage at
male side of connector.
3. Using connector Y, locate wire 1, then using a suitable voltmeter, check for battery voltage at
female side of connector. Depress horn, voltmeter should read zero and horn should sound. If
battery voltage remains, circuit is open. Connectors should remain connected during testing.
4. Check horn relay by momentarily grounding circuit 1 to chassis. This bypasses horn switch and
horn should sound. If horn does not sound, check for battery voltage at connector X wire 6 during
relay operation. If voltage is present at circuit 6 during relay operation, an open circuit is indicated
between horn and connector X.
5. If relay does not operate with battery voltage present at circuit 460 and circuit 1 is grounded,
replace relay.

ISSUE: Customers with concerns of glass fogging (film) and with the chemicals that cause this fog
can be advised that Ford Motor Company has extensively tested this material and found that it is
not a health hazard. The film is caused by some of the chemicals used during the manufacture of
the interior trim.
ACTION: At the present time, there is no known field fix to prevent the window fogging, however,
glass cleaner such as Ford Glass Cleaner (E4AZ-19C507-AA) has been found to be the best for
film removal.

ISSUE: Vehicles may exhibit iridescent spots or "mottling" in tempered glass under some lighting
conditions. This condition is caused by the tempering process.
ACTION: Explain to customers that "iridescence" or "mottling" of tempered glass is a normal
condition and that glass replacement is neither warranted nor necessarily effective in resolving the
condition.
DESCRIPTION OF CONDITION
The somewhat iridescent grayish or blueish and fairly geometric spots detected in side and rear
window tempered glass are characteristic of tempered glass.
The mottled appearance is noted only under certain conditions of lighting. The occurrence of
mottling does not affect glass quality or durability and cannot be reduced by scouring the glass
surface.
The boldness of the mottled pattern in a given glass may vary, depending upon lighting conditions,
but may appear intensified if viewed through polarized sunglasses.
CAUSES OF CONDITION
Atmospheric dust and other angular reflections can cause changes in the polarized properties of
natural light. This polarization, combined with the light polarizing properties imparted to tempered
glass by the forces of tension and compression (during the tempering process), cause the
iridescent or mottled appearance.
These are the same forces of compression and tension which make tempered glass so remarkably
strong. Windshields, which are annealed rather than tempered, do not exhibit iridescence.

ISSUE: Manual vent windows that are not opened very often may stick to the vent window
weatherstrip which makes them hard to open.
ACTION: To correct this, apply a thin coating of Silicone Lubricant (COAZ-19553-AA) to the vent
window weatherstrip as shown in Figure 2. This lubricant can be applied during dealer prep and/or
normal customer service visits.
NOTE: DO NOT USE AEROSOL SPRAY CANS.

ISSUE: Customers with concerns of glass fogging (film) and with the chemicals that cause this fog
can be advised that Ford Motor Company has extensively tested this material and found that it is
not a health hazard. The film is caused by some of the chemicals used during the manufacture of
the interior trim.
ACTION: At the present time, there is no known field fix to prevent the window fogging, however,
glass cleaner such as Ford Glass Cleaner (E4AZ-19C507-AA) has been found to be the best for
film removal.

ISSUE: Vehicles may exhibit iridescent spots or "mottling" in tempered glass under some lighting
conditions. This condition is caused by the tempering process.
ACTION: Explain to customers that "iridescence" or "mottling" of tempered glass is a normal
condition and that glass replacement is neither warranted nor necessarily effective in resolving the
condition.
DESCRIPTION OF CONDITION
The somewhat iridescent grayish or blueish and fairly geometric spots detected in side and rear
window tempered glass are characteristic of tempered glass.
The mottled appearance is noted only under certain conditions of lighting. The occurrence of
mottling does not affect glass quality or durability and cannot be reduced by scouring the glass
surface.
The boldness of the mottled pattern in a given glass may vary, depending upon lighting conditions,
but may appear intensified if viewed through polarized sunglasses.
CAUSES OF CONDITION
Atmospheric dust and other angular reflections can cause changes in the polarized properties of
natural light. This polarization, combined with the light polarizing properties imparted to tempered
glass by the forces of tension and compression (during the tempering process), cause the
iridescent or mottled appearance.
These are the same forces of compression and tension which make tempered glass so remarkably
strong. Windshields, which are annealed rather than tempered, do not exhibit iridescence.
