Anti-Lock Brake System Module: Description and Operation Four Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System
(4WABS)
PURPOSE
The antilock brake electronic control module monitors the brake on/off switch and the system
speed sensors to determine when the antilock brake system should be engaged.
In addition, the electronic control module provides a speed signal to the Programmable
Speedometer/Odometer Module (PSOM).
DESCRIPTION
It is an on-board diagnostic, non-repairable unit consisting of two microprocessors and necessary
circuitry for their operation. These microprocessors are programmed identically. The antilock brake
electronic control module monitors system operation during normal driving as well as during
antilock braking.
OPERATION
Under normal driving conditions, the microprocessors produce short test pulses to check the
electrical system without any mechanical reaction. The antilock brake electronic control module
continuously monitors the speed of each wheel to determine if any wheel is beginning to lock.
When a wheel locking tendency is detected, the antilock brake electronic control module signals
the appropriate solenoid valve in the antilock hydraulic control unit to open or close as well as the
pump motor to turn on and recycle brake fluid back to the brake master cylinder. This results in
moderate pulsations of the brake pedal and pump noise which may be heard in the passenger
compartment. During normal braking, the brake pedal feel will be identical to a standard brake
system.
Most concerns which occur to the antilock brake system will be stored as a coded number in the
Keep-Alive Memory (KAM) of the antilock brake electronic control module. This means that once a
code is stored, it will be retained by the antilock brake electronic control module even with the key
in the OFF position. The codes can be retrieved by following the on-board diagnostic procedures.

Anti-Lock Brake System Module: Description and Operation Rear Anti-Lock Brake System (RABS)
PURPOSE
The Rear Antilock Brake System (RABS) module continuously monitors the rear wheel speed with
a sensor mounted on the rear axle for an impending rear wheel lockup condition during braking.
The RABS Module will modulate hydraulic pressure to the rear brake cylinders to inhibit rear wheel
lockup.
The RABS Module has self-test capabilities much like those in other electronic control systems.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to update the affected vehicles and to include an
Application Chart for the affected vehicles.
ISSUE The Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has mandated that all aftermarket
service centers shall be able to either reprogram Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) or obtain
reasonably priced, timely PCM programming services at dealerships. Ford has released an
out-of-vehicle EEC V reprogramming cable to support this requirement. Also, PCMs are
reprogrammable to update calibration levels or to reprogram a common hardware type to a new
calibration in order to fill a service need without ordering a new PCM.

Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Powertrain Control Module: > 99-4-3 > Mar > 99 > PCM Reprogramming Out of Vehicle > Page 302
ACTION Refer to the Application Chart in this article to use the new 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable to
handle all necessary out-of-vehicle programming of EEC V modules in the vehicles listed. This may
allow added flexibility in servicing aftermarket and fleet accounts as well as provide the ability to
have modules updated to new calibrations through the Parts Department instead of ordering new
parts.
Currently, EEC V modules must be installed in a vehicle to reprogram a new calibration in the
module. An aftermarket service center may bring a module to a dealership for a calibration update
or may request an updated calibration be installed to a new service part. The EPA regulations
require "reasonably priced, timely service" be provided by the dealer. The new 15- to 104-Pin Flash
Cable works with the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester to provide the capability to reprogram a
calibration on a PCM out of the vehicle.
The 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable connects between the NGS Tester and PCM 104-pin connector.
The proper calibration must be downloaded to the Data Transfer Card through Service Bay
Technical System (SBTS). Once the card is inserted into the NGS Tester and the cable is
connected, follow the calibration download instructions displayed on the NGS screen.
The 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable (007-00587) can be ordered from Rotunda by calling
1-800-ROTUNDA.

ISSUE: Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) no longer need to be replaced when servicing
driveability concerns. The only time a PCM needs replacing is when it can no longer be
reprogrammed and/or is damaged. In all other cases, the PCM must be reprogrammed and NOT
REPLACED.
ACTION: Use the following Service Procedure to properly reprogram a PCM.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
PCM REPROGRAMMING USING SBDS
1. At the Main menu, select Powertrain and enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Select
"Continue."
2. From the Powertrain menu, select Electronic Engine category.
3. Scroll through the "Tool List" to PCM Reprogramming and select "Continue."
4. Any TSBs or Recalls for the entered vehicle will be displayed. There is up to a 6 week delay for
TSB/Recall information updates on SBDS. New TSBs/Recalls may not appear or only the TSB
number will be displayed even though the new calibration is on the current calibration CD-ROM.
Also, if the vehicle calibration is being updated because of a Special Service Message, Broadcast
Message or the PCM was replaced and requires calibration, no screen may appear. This is not a
concern and will not prevent programming updates or being paid for programming updates.
5. Follow all hook-up instructions and continue as prompted to the calibration screen. Typically, a
list of calibration numbers will appear. Answer as appropriate for the vehicle and select "Continue."
SBDS will then validate the information entered against the information read in the PCM, and any
mismatch of software or hardware will be displayed for technician action.
6. Insert the proper calibration or the latest level CD-ROM when prompted and follow the
instructions as displayed by SBDS. Do not crank the engine. SBDS will update the engine
calibration to the latest level calibration for the selected calibration.
7. After programming is complete, SBDS will display a representation of the Authorized
Modification Decal with the Engineering Part Number for the PCM installed. It is important that the
label be completed and attached to the vehicle. S8DS will also automatically print a copy of the
vehicle log for filing with the Repair Order.
8. Selecting "Continue" will call for a KOEO self test. Any hard faults present after performing self
test were not caused by reprogramming. The calibration has now been validated and the PCM is
operating properly. Unless directed by other Service Procedures, the vehicle can be released to

ISSUE The Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has mandated that all aftermarket
service centers shall be able to either reprogram Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) or obtain
reasonably priced, timely PCM programming services at dealerships. Ford has released an
out-of-vehicle EEC V reprogramming cable to support this requirement. Also, PCMs are
reprogrammable to update calibration levels or to reprogram a common hardware type to a new
calibration in order to fill a service need without ordering a new PCM.

ACTION Refer to the Application Chart in this article to use the new 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable to
handle all necessary out-of-vehicle programming of EEC V modules in the vehicles listed. This may
allow added flexibility in servicing aftermarket and fleet accounts as well as provide the ability to
have modules updated to new calibrations through the Parts Department instead of ordering new
parts.
Currently, EEC V modules must be installed in a vehicle to reprogram a new calibration in the
module. An aftermarket service center may bring a module to a dealership for a calibration update
or may request an updated calibration be installed to a new service part. The EPA regulations
require "reasonably priced, timely service" be provided by the dealer. The new 15- to 104-Pin Flash
Cable works with the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester to provide the capability to reprogram a
calibration on a PCM out of the vehicle.
The 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable connects between the NGS Tester and PCM 104-pin connector.
The proper calibration must be downloaded to the Data Transfer Card through Service Bay
Technical System (SBTS). Once the card is inserted into the NGS Tester and the cable is
connected, follow the calibration download instructions displayed on the NGS screen.
The 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable (007-00587) can be ordered from Rotunda by calling
1-800-ROTUNDA.

Powertrain Control Module: Description and Operation
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) retrieves inputs from various engine sensors to compute the
required fuel flow rate necessary to maintain a proper air/fuel ratio throughout the entire engine
operational range.
The PCM also determines and compensates the vehicle's uniqueness. The system will also
compensate for changes in altitude (i.e., from sea level to mountains).
The 104-pin EEC-V system PCM outputs a command to the Injector Driver Module (IDM) which in
turn energizes the fuel injector with up to 115V DC. The fuel injector is controlled by the in IDM to
meter the appropriate quantity of fuel at the correct time and duration.

Injector Driver Module: Description and Operation
The Injector Driver Module (IDM) supplies 115V DC to all of the fuel injectors.
The IDM receives signals from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for Cylinder Identification
(CID) and Fuel Delivery Command Signal (FDCS). The PCM controls when the timing of the
injectors should start and how long the injector is open.
The IDM controls the injector firing sequence through output drivers. The IDM has an output driver
for each injector: one low side driver for each injector and one high side driver for each bank of
injectors. The injector is fired when the output driver closes the circuit to ground, completing the
circuit ground path.

Glow Plug Relay: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The glow plug control module has a plastic base and two mounting bolts. It is operated by the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) which senses engine oil temperature, PCM voltage, and
barometric pressure.
OPERATION
When the engine oil temperature or the barometric pressure is low, the PCM activates the glow
plug control module and the intake manifold glow plugs. If the PCM voltage is too high, the PCM
deactivates the glow plug control module and the intake manifold glow plugs immediately energize
for a shorter duration, decreasing the modulation of the duty cycle.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
The air bag diagnostic monitor continually monitors all supplemental air bag restraint system
components and wiring connections for possible faults in the system. If the air bag diagnostic
monitor detects a fault in the supplemental air bag restraint system when the ignition switch is in
the RUN position, a diagnostic trouble code will be displayed on the air bag indicator, located in the
instrument cluster. Performing system diagnostics is the main purpose of the air bag diagnostic
monitor.
The air bag diagnostic monitor does not deploy the air bag in the event of a crash. The center and
right rear air bag sensors are "hard wired" to the air bag, therefore, the center and right rear front
primary crash sensors and RH cowl side panel air bag safing sensor determine when to deploy the
air bag.
FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
- The air bag diagnostic monitor illuminates the air bag indicator for approximately six seconds
when the ignition switch is in the RUN position and then turns the indicator off. This shows that the
air bag indicator is operational. If the air bag indicator does not illuminate or the indicator stays on
or flashes at any time, a fault has been detected by the air bag diagnostic monitor.
- Diagnostic trouble codes may not be displayed for approximately 30 seconds after the ignition
switch is placed in the RUN position. This is the amount of time the air bag diagnostic monitor
requires to perform all tests and verify system faults, if present.
- Each diagnostic trouble code (a series of flashes and pauses of the air bag indicator) represents a
two-digit number. Each diagnostic trouble code is always displayed at least twice. For example, a
diagnostic trouble code 32 is displayed as three flashes, followed by a one-second pause, then two
flashes, followed by a three-second pause.
- If a system fault is present and the air bag indicator is malfunctioning, an audible tone will be
heard, indicating that system service is required. The tone is a series of five sets of five beeps. This
does not indicate a diagnostic trouble code 55. If the tone is heard, the air bag indicator is
inoperative and a system fault that requires service is present.
- If a fault exists that makes unwanted air bag deployment possible, the air bag diagnostic monitor
has an internal thermal fuse that will blow (open) automatically. This removes all power to the air
bag deployment circuit.
CAUTION: The thermal fuse does not blow (open) because of excessive current flowing through it.
DO NOT attempt to jumper out the thermal fuse with a circuit breaker or any other type of fuse.
- The air bag indicator will flash the appropriate diagnostic trouble code to indicate the suspect
circuit. If the indicator is malfunctioning the tone will be heard.
- Diagnostic trouble codes are prioritized numerically so if two or more different faults occur at the
same time, the fault having the highest priority will be displayed first. After that fault has been
corrected, the next highest priority fault will be displayed.
- The air bag diagnostic monitor includes an internal backup power supply. This feature provides
sufficient backup power to deploy the air bag in the event the battery or battery cables are
damaged in an accident before the center air bag and front air bag sensors close. The backup
power supply will deplete its stored energy approximately one minute after the positive battery
cable is disconnected.
WARNING: THE BACKUP POWER SUPPLY ENERGY MUST BE DEPLETED BEFORE ANY AIR
BAG COMPONENT SERVICE IS PERFORMED. TO DEPLETE THE BACKUP POWER SUPPLY
ENERGY, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY POSITIVE CABLE AND WAIT ONE MINUTE.

Air Bag Control Module: Service and Repair
CAUTION: When servicing the air bag diagnostic monitor with a blown internal fuse (DTC 51), find
and repair all wire damage or shorts. A blown air bag diagnostic monitor can be used to find
electrical faults without replacing components unnecessarily. The diagnostic procedures are written
to give safety first priority.
The following steps may be taken to find the cause that initiated a blown fuse:
1. Verify the system using the old air bag diagnostic monitor and verify the wiring repairs success
before proceeding. Repeat as many times as
required.
2. Replace the air bag diagnostic monitor when all wire repairs are complete. 3. If the diagnostic
trouble code returns after making all wiring repairs, then replace the indicated component.
Removal and Installation
1. Disconnect battery positive cable and wait one minute for backup power supply energy to be
depleted.
WARNING: THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT NECESSARY FOR SYSTEM DEPLOYMENT IS
POWERED DIRECTLY FROM THE BATTERY AND BACKUP POWER SUPPLY. TO AVOID
ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY, THE BATTERY POSITIVE
CABLE MUST BE DISCONNECTED FOR ONE MINUTE PRIOR TO SERVICING OR
REPLACING ANY SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
NOTE: When the battery is disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms may
occur while the powertrain control module (PCM) relearns its adaptive strategy. The vehicle may
need to be driven 10 mites or more to relearn the strategy.
2. Locate air bag diagnostic monitor beneath and to the left of the steering column and disconnect
the two connectors. 3. Depress tabs retaining air bag diagnostic monitor to air bag monitor bracket.
Slide air bag diagnostic monitor off air bag monitor bracket. 4. Disconnect electrical wiring
connectors to air bag diagnostic monitor. Remove air bag diagnostic monitor. 5. For installation,
follow removal procedures in reverse order. Prove out system.

The Speed Control Deactivation Switch (SCDS) involved in Safety Recall 09S09 and the revised
SCDS are illustrated (See Figure 1).
Note that the revised SCDS has a different electrical connector An adapter jumper harness (which
is included in the parts kit) is required when replacing the old SCDS with the revised SCDS
SCDS Location
In most vehicles involved in this recall, the SCDS is located on the master cylinder. In 1992-1993
E-Series vehicles, the SCDS is usually located on the junction block or brake proportioning valve
on the left frame rail under the driver's seat. In 1993 F-Series vehicles, the SCDS is usually located
on the junction block or brake proportioning valve on the left frame rail below the master cylinder
To verify, just follow the metal brake lines from the master cylinder until the switch is found On F-53
Motorhome vehicles, if the SCDS is not located on the master cylinder, it maybe located in a brake
line junction block approximately 457 mm (18 in) below the master cylinder It may be necessary to
reposition wiring harnesses and/or remove add-on equipment in order to locate the switch.
SCDS INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTE:
For E-Series vehicles, there is a possibility that the vehicle was manufactured without a SCDS If
unable to locate a SCDS after checking on all the brake lines, no further action is required, release
the vehicle
NOTE:
On 1992-1993 E-Series and 1993 F-Series vehicles, it may be necessary to lift the vehicle to gain
access to the SCDS On Windstar vehicles, the air cleaner housing must be separated in the middle
to gain access to the SCDS

1. Disconnect the harness connector from the SCDS (See Figure 2)
2. Inspect the harness connector for the presence of brake fluid.
^ If there is no evidence of brake fluid on the connector, install Universal Fused Jumper Harness
(UFJH).
^ If there is evidence of brake fluid on the connector, replace SCDS.
UNIVERSAL FUSED JUMPER HARNESS (UFJH) INSTALLATION
1. Connect the Universal Fused Jumper Harness (UFJH) to the SCDS and the vehicle harness.
2. Secure the UFJH to the existing harness with tie straps making sure the fuse holders are
positioned vertically with the fuse holder cap facing upward

Wrap the tie straps underneath then over the top of the existing harness and verify proper fuse
holder orientation (See Figure 3).
3. No further action is required release the vehicle.
SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH (SCDS) REPLACEMENT
NOTE:
The brake pedal must not be depressed during the removal and replacement of the SCDS.
1. Check the brake fluid level at the master cylinder and if necessary fill to maximum fluid level.
NOTICE:
DO NOT apply fluid to the electrical connector or damage to the connector may occur
2. Add a few drops of Motorcraft High Performance DOT 3 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid PM-1-C (US),
CPM-1-C (Canada), to the fluid port at the
threaded end of the new SCDS (See Figure 4).
NOTICE:
Do not allow any foreign material to enter the master cylinder port once the SCDS is removed
3. Remove the old SCDS.
NOTE:
Call the Special Service Support Center for assistance if brake fluid does not flow from the SCDS
fitting when the SCDS is removed.
NOTE:
If the new SCDS is not installed immediately after the original switch is removed, the master
cylinder brake fluid could drop below the minimum level and air could enter the brake system. If this
should occur, air must be bled from the brake system at all 4 wheels. In this situation, the labor to
bleed the brake system will not be covered under this program
4. With the brake fluid reservoir cap removed, observe for brake fluid dripping/draining from the
SCDS fitting. As soon as brake fluid begins to bleed
from the fitting, install the new SCDS and tighten to 18 Nm (13 lb-ft).
5. Check the brake fluid level at the master cylinder fill to maximum fluid level and install the brake

The Speed Control Deactivation Switch (SCDS) involved in Safety Recall 09S09 and the revised
SCDS are illustrated (See Figure 1).
Note that the revised SCDS has a different electrical connector An adapter jumper harness (which
is included in the parts kit) is required when replacing the old SCDS with the revised SCDS
SCDS Location
In most vehicles involved in this recall, the SCDS is located on the master cylinder. In 1992-1993
E-Series vehicles, the SCDS is usually located on the junction block or brake proportioning valve
on the left frame rail under the driver's seat. In 1993 F-Series vehicles, the SCDS is usually located
on the junction block or brake proportioning valve on the left frame rail below the master cylinder
To verify, just follow the metal brake lines from the master cylinder until the switch is found On F-53
Motorhome vehicles, if the SCDS is not located on the master cylinder, it maybe located in a brake
line junction block approximately 457 mm (18 in) below the master cylinder It may be necessary to
reposition wiring harnesses and/or remove add-on equipment in order to locate the switch.
SCDS INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTE:
For E-Series vehicles, there is a possibility that the vehicle was manufactured without a SCDS If
unable to locate a SCDS after checking on all the brake lines, no further action is required, release
the vehicle
NOTE:
On 1992-1993 E-Series and 1993 F-Series vehicles, it may be necessary to lift the vehicle to gain
access to the SCDS On Windstar vehicles, the air cleaner housing must be separated in the middle
to gain access to the SCDS

Barometric Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation
Barometric Pressure Sensor
The Barometric Pressure (BARO) sensor is a variable capacitance sensor that, when supplied with
a 5-volt reference signal from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), produces an analog voltage
that indicates barometric pressure. The sensor signal is used to determine altitude to adjust timing
and quantity of fuel to optimize engine operation. The output of the barometric pressure sensor is
one of the variables used to calculate glow plug on time.

Article 97-6-18 is being republished with updates as part of a consolidated 7.3L diagnostic aid
booklet.
ISSUE
The 7.3L Direct Injection Turbo (DIT) engines are built with 0.1016-0.8128 mm (0.0040-0.032")
clearance between the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and the trigger wheel. At approximately
1.016 mm (0.040") clearance, the sensor will fail to synchronize and result in a no run condition.
Improper CMP clearance can be seen in the following six (6) symptoms:
^ 1) Fault codes - incorrect synchronization count
^ 2) Low RPM - fails to achieve rated speed for 2-3 minutes after extended cold soak
^ 3) No start - after extended cold soak
^ 4) Runs poorly cold - engine runs OK warm
^ 5) Stall on deceleration - more pronounced cold
^ 6) Starts, runs cold, dies warm, will not restart until cool
ACTION
Install a shim between the CMP sensor and the front engine cover. The shim will allow the correct
clearance which should reduce the possibility of concerns. Refer to the following Service Procedure
for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Perform normal DIT Powerstroke diagnostics. If no other problems are found, proceed with this
TSB article.
2. Remove CMP sensor and inspect for signs of contact with the pulse wheel. Make sure the holes
on the end are filled with epoxy and inspect the connector mating cavity for signs of oil
contamination. If there are any signs of contact, contamination, or the holes are not filled, replace
the CMP Sensor (F6TZ-12K073-A).
3. Repair symptoms 1) - 5) as follows: install a 0.254 mm (0.010") shim under the CMP sensor. If
symptoms persist, increase the shim thickness to 0.508 mm (0.020") Shim (F7TZ-1 2J072-AA).
NOTE
SOME ENGINES BETWEEN SERIAL NUMBERS 388840 AND 410010 HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH
EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF TRIGGER WHEEL RUNOUT. RUNOUT OF THE TRIGGER WHEEL
GREATER THAN 0.508 mm (0.020") MIGHT NOT BE RESOLVED WITH A SHIM. THE
ADDITIONAL CLEARANCE CAN PUT TOTAL CLEARANCE ABOVE 1.016 mm (0.040") AND
CAUSE FAILURE TO SYNCHRONIZE.
4. If symptom 6) occurs and trigger wheel runout is greater than 0.508 mm (0.020"), try a 0.254 mm
(0.010") shim. If the concern is unresolved, replace the Camshaft Assembly (F4TZ-6250-A). Refer
to the appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 03-01C, for camshaft assembly
replacement procedure.

the CMP Sensor (F6TZ-12K073-A).
3. Repair symptoms 1) - 5) as follows: install a 0.254 mm (0.010") shim under the CMP sensor. If
symptoms persist, increase the shim thickness to 0.508 mm (0.020") Shim (F7TZ-1 2J072-AA).
NOTE
SOME ENGINES BETWEEN SERIAL NUMBERS 388840 AND 410010 HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH
EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF TRIGGER WHEEL RUNOUT. RUNOUT OF THE TRIGGER WHEEL
GREATER THAN 0.508 mm (0.020") MIGHT NOT BE RESOLVED WITH A SHIM. THE
ADDITIONAL CLEARANCE CAN PUT TOTAL CLEARANCE ABOVE 1.016 mm (0.040") AND
CAUSE FAILURE TO SYNCHRONIZE.
4. If symptom 6) occurs and trigger wheel runout is greater than 0.508 mm (0.020"), try a 0.254 mm
(0.010") shim. If the concern is unresolved, replace the Camshaft Assembly (F4TZ-6250-A). Refer
to the appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 03-01C, for camshaft assembly

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Camshaft Position Sensor
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is a Hall effect sensor that generates a digital frequency
while windows in a target wheel pass through its magnetic field. The frequency of the windows
passing by the sensor, as well as the width of selected windows, allows the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) to detect engine speed and position.

Cylinder Identification Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Cylinder Identification (CID) circuit output provides information to the Injector Driver Module
(IDM) on the position of each cylinder's TDC position. so that current can be applied to the correct
injector at the proper time.
OPERATION
The CID is one of two digital control signals used by the IDM. The CID is produced in the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and sent to the IDM via the CID circuit. The CID provides
synchronization information to the engine's first and fifth injector in the firing order. The IDM then
uses this information to properly control injector operation.

The H025 Monitor is an on-board strategy designed to monitor the HO2S sensors for a malfunction
or deterioration that can affect emissions. Under specific conditions, the fuel control or upstream
HO2S sensors (Figures 1 and 3) are checked for proper output voltage and response rate (the time
it takes to switch from lean to rich or rich to lean). Downstream HO2S sensors (Figures 1 and 3)
used for Catalyst Monitor are also monitored for proper output voltage. Input is required from the
ECT or CHT, IAT, MAF, TP and CKP sensors to activate the H025 Monitor. The Fuel System
Monitor and Misfire Detection Monitor must also have completed successfully before the HO2S
Monitor is enabled.
The HO2S sensor senses the oxygen content in the exhaust flow and outputs a voltage between
zero and 1.0 volt. Lean of stoichiometric (air/fuel ratio of approximately 14.7:1 for gasoline
engines), the HO2S will generate a voltage between zero and 0.45 volt. Rich of stoichiometric, the
HO2S will generate a voltage between 0.45 and 1.0 volt.
^ The HO2S Monitor evaluates both the upstream (Fuel Control) and downstream (Catalyst
Monitor) HO2S for proper function.
^ Once the HO2S Monitor is enabled, the upstream H025 signal voltage amplitude and response
frequency are checked. Excessive voltage is determined by comparing the HO2S signal voltage to
a maximum calibratable threshold voltage.
^ A fixed frequency closed loop fuel control routine is executed and the upstream HO2S voltage
amplitude and output response frequency are observed. A sample of the upstream HO2S signal is
evaluated to determine if the sensor is capable of switching or has a slow response rate.
^ An HO2S heater circuit fault is determined by turning the heater on and off and looking for a
corresponding change in the OSM and by measuring the current going through the heater circuit.
^ The MIL is activated after a fault is detected on two consecutive OBD II drive cycles.
The HO2S Monitor DTCs can be categorized as follows:
^ HO2S signal circuit malfunction - P0131, P0136, P0151, P0156
^ HO2S slow response rate - P0133, P0153
^ HO2S heater circuit malfunction - P0135, P0141, P0155, P0161
^ Downstream HO2S not running in on-demand self test - P1127

^ H025 lack of switching - P1130, P1131, P1132, P1150, P1151, P1152
^ HO2S lack of switching (sensor indicates lean) - P1137

C2.) Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Monitor - Diagnostic Trouble Codes
D. Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
D1.) Catalyst Efficiency Monitor - Information
The Federal Test Procedure Catalyst Monitor monitors for deterioration in the catalyst system and
illuminates the MIL when tailpipe emissions exceed the appropriate HC emission thresholds. The
Catalyst Monitor is enabled after the upstream and downstream HO2S sensors have been tested
and verified to be functional. This monitor relies on the front and rear heated oxygen sensors
(HO2S) to infer catalyst efficiency based upon oxygen storage capacity. Under normal closed loop
fuel conditions, high efficiency catalysts have oxygen storage which makes the switching frequency
of the rear HO2S quite slow compared with the frequency of the front HO2S. As catalyst efficiency
deteriorates, its ability to store oxygen declines, and the rear HO2S begins to switch more rapidly,
approaching the frequency of the front sensor. In general, as catalyst efficiency decreases, the
switch ratio increases from a switch ratio of 0 for a low mileage catalyst to a switch ratio of 0.8 or
0.9 for a low efficiency catalyst.
Some vehicles will monitor substantially less than the entire catalyst volume in order to meet the
stringent catalyst monitoring malfunction thresholds. In many cases, only the front, light-off catalyst
is monitored.
Front and rear HO2S switches are counted under specified closed loop fuel conditions. After the
required number of front switches are obtained, a rear-to-front HO2S switch ratio is calculated. The
switch ratio is compared against a threshold value. If the switch ratio is greater than the calibrated
maximum limit, the catalyst has failed. The test entry conditions for the Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
are as follows: ECT or CHT (warmed engine), IAT (not at extreme ambient temperatures), MAF
(greater than minimum engine load), VSS (within vehicle speed window) and TP (at part throttle)
are required.
^ Because an exponentially weighted moving average is used for malfunction determination, up to
six OBD II drive cycles may be required to illuminate the MIL.
NOTE
THE CATALYST MONITOR ON SOME EARLY OBD II VEHICLES (SOME 1994-1996 VEHICLES)
WAS REFERRED TO AS THE "STEADY-STATE CATALYST MONITOR" AS OPPOSED TO THE
"FTP CATALYST MONITOR" (DESCRIBED ABOVE) THAT IS MOST COMMON FOR VEHICLES
BUILT AFTER 1996. BELOW IS A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE STEADY-STATE CATALYST
MONITOR:
The Steady-State Catalyst Monitor performs a 20 second test during steady state rpm and load
conditions. The Monitor transfers closed loop fuel control from the front to the rear 02 sensors. The
Monitor then observes the switching frequency and compares it to a threshold frequency stored in
an rpm/load table. A frequency higher than the maximum calibrated threshold indicates a
malfunction.
The Catalyst Monitor DTCs can be categorized as follows:

D2.) Catalyst Efficiency Monitor - Diagnostic Trouble Codes
E. Fuel System Monitor
E1.) Fuel System Monitor - Information
The Fuel System Monitor is an on-board strategy designed to monitor the fuel trim system. The fuel
control system uses fuel trim tables stored in the PCM's KAM to compensate for variability in fuel
system components due to normal wear and aging. Fuel trim tables are based on vehicle speed
and engine load. During closed loop vehicle operation, the fuel trim strategy learns the corrections
needed to correct a "biased" rich or lean fuel system. The correction is stored in the fuel trim tables.
The fuel trim has two means of adapting; a LONGFT and a SHRTFT. LONGFT relies on the fuel
trim tables and SHRTFT refers to the desired air/fuel ratio parameter "LAMBSE". LAMBSE is
calculated by the PCM from HO2S inputs and helps maintain a 14.7:1 air/fuel ratio during closed
loop operation. SHRTFT and LONGFT work together. If the HO2S indicates the engine is running
rich, the PCM will correct the rich condition by moving SHRTFT in the negative range (less fuel to
correct for a rich combustion). If after a certain amount of time SHRTFT is still compensating for a
rich condition, the PCM "learns" this and moves LONGFT into the negative range to compensate
and allows SHRTFT to return to a value near 0%. Input from the ECT or CHT, IAT, and MAF
sensors is required to activate the fuel trim system, which in turn activates the Fuel System
Monitor. Once activated, the Fuel System Monitor looks for the fuel trim tables to reach the
adaptive clip (adaptive limit) and LAMBSE to exceed a calibrated limit. The Fuel System Monitor
will store the appropriate DTC when a fault is detected as described below.
^ The H025 detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust and provides the PCM with feedback
indicating a rich or lean condition.
^ A correction factor is added to the fuel injector pulsewidth calculation according to the Long and
Short Term Fuel Trims as needed to compensate for variations in the fuel system.
^ When deviation in the parameter LAMBSE increases, air/fuel control suffers and emissions
increase. When LAMBSE exceeds a calibrated limit and the fuel trim table has clipped (reached
adaptive limit), the Fuel System Monitor sets a DTC.
^ The MIL is activated after a fault is detected on two consecutive OBD II drive cycles.
The Fuel System Monitor DTCs can be categorized as follows:
^ Fuel Delivery Error - P0148

E2.) Fuel System Monitor - Diagnostic Trouble Codes
F. Diagnostic Service Tips
1. Always reset KAM after performing a repair:
After performing a repair on a vehicle with the MIL on, and/or DTCs present, always clear KAM.
When a malfunction is present, the PCM adapts (attempts to correct) for this condition. Once the
vehicle has been repaired, if the KAM is not reset, the PCM will once again have to adapt back to
the normal operating conditions. Clearing the KAM will erase what the PCM has learned, so the
PCM will be able to start with "base tables".
2. Always view and record Freeze Frame Data:
Freeze Frame Data can be a valuable asset in duplicating and diagnosing concerns. This data (a
snapshot of certain PID values, recorded at the time the MIL was activated) indicates the manner in
which the vehicle was being driven at the time the fault occurred. This can be especially useful on
intermittent concerns. Freeze Frame Data, in some cases, can also help to isolate possible areas
of concern, as well as ruling out others. Always record (write down) the Freeze Frame Data.
3. Multiple DTCs (with the same meaning):
When multiple (paired) DTCs with the same meaning are set for multiple sensors, it is unlikely that
replacing both HO2S sensors will resolve the concern. In most cases, there will be another issue
that is causing the codes. Examples of multiple (paired) DTCs:
(P0135/P0155), (P0141/P0161), (P1131/P1151), (P1132/P1152).
To further clarify this, see the more detailed scenario as follows:
A vehicle comes in with a MIL On concern. KOEO self test reveals DTCs P0135 and P0155
(HTR-11 and HTR-21 circuit malfunction), with no other DTCs present. The most likely cause of
these DTCs would be something in the heater power circuit that both of these HO2S sensors have
in common (Example: open or shorted heater circuit wiring or splice). It is highly unlikely that
multiple sensors would fail at the same time. When multiple DTCs of this nature are encountered,
reviewing the appropriate wiring diagram(s) can help to isolate possible areas of concern. When
reviewing the wiring diagram, look for things that the affected sensors have in common.

In this example, the most likely cause of DTCs P0135 and P0155 (with no other DTCs present)
would be a concern with Splice "B" (refer to Figure 2).

4. View H025 PID data carefully: NGS PIDs for HO2S sensors that do not exist (with certain
exhaust configurations) will show a value of "0" volts (refer to Figures 3 and 4).
In this example, the vehicle (equipped with a 4-cylinder engine) has one upstream and one
downstream HO2S. Notice that the NGS (scan tool) display shows two upstream and two
downstream HO2S PIDs, and that the "unused" HO2S sensor PIDs display "0" volts.
5. H025 sensors measure oxygen in the exhaust, not fuel: The exhaust gas condition reported by
the HO2S sensor is based on the presence of oxygen in the exhaust, not the presence of unburned
fuel.
Example: In the event of an ignition-related misfire, you might expect a rich HO2S reading, due to
the amount of unburned fuel in the exhaust system. However, there is also a large amount of
unburned oxygen, since no combustion took place in the misfiring cylinder. Since the H025 senses
oxygen only, it would report a lean condition in this particular situation.
F2.) Tips Related to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H025) Monitor
1. OBD II Response Rate Monitor: The OBD II
Response Rate Monitor (P0133/P0153) is only run at vehicle speeds between approximately 50-95
km/h (30-60 mph), during steady-state conditions. The test lasts approximately 6 seconds.
Therefore, P0133/P0153 cannot be diagnosed at idle in the repair bay.
2. Do not compare H025 switch rate - Bank-to-Bank or vehicle-to-vehicle: Different H025 switch
rates, from Bank-to-Bank, are considered normal. The H025 switch rate, from one Bank to the
other, should not be compared as a gauge of the H025's ability to switch/react. The PCM is
continuously adjusting spark and fuel in reaction to engine operating conditions (rpm, load, air flow,
throttle angle, etc.). The PCM is also continuously adapting to certain conditions (customer driving
habits, engine and component wear, etc.).
F3.) Tips Related to Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
1. Determining catalyst efficiency/switch ratio:
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 746
The upstream H025 sensors will have a high switch frequency, due to normal closed loop fuel
control. With an efficient catalyst, the downstream H025 will have a low switch frequency. The
switch ratio is determined by dividing the number of downstream switches by the number of
upstream switches over a given period of time. As the catalyst ages (or if the catalyst is damaged
or contaminated), the downstream switches will increase. When the downstream switch rate
crosses a threshold value (approximately 0.75 switch ratio), a code is stored (P0420 and/or P0430)
and the MIL illuminates (refer to Figures 5 and 6).
NOTE
IF A CATALYST IS DETERMINED TO HAVE LOW EFFICIENCY AND REQUIRES
REPLACEMENT, REPLACEMENT OF THE DOWNSTREAM H025 SENSORS WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
2. Use care in handling H025 sensors: In the event of catalyst replacement, use care in the
handling of H025 sensors to prevent damage or contamination. Do not use power tools in the
removal or installation of sensors. Use a 22mm wrench or crow foot to remove and install H025
sensors; do not use slotted sockets, as these sockets may damage wires. H025 sensors should be
torqued to 41 +/- 5 N.m (30 +/- 4 lb-ft).
3. Do not replace downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22) for DTCs P0420 and/or P0430:
When diagnosing a vehicle with a customer concern of MIL On and DTCs P0420/P0430 in
continuous memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22). Damaged
or malfunctioning downstream HO2S sensors will not cause these DTCs to be set. Always verify
the vehicle concern, then perform the pinpoint diagnostics in the appropriate PC/ED Service
Manual.

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 747
F4.) Tips Related to the Fuel System Monitor
1. HO2S sensors are not likely to be the cause of adaptive DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175:
Most warranty-returned HO2S sensors (replaced for these DTCs) are found to function normally.
Additional related DTCs will normally be present if there is a concern with the HO2S sensors. Do
not replace an HO2S sensor unless verified through pinpoint diagnostic tests found in the PC/ED
Service Manual.
2. DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, and P0175 are not related to downstream H028 sensors: When
diagnosing a vehicle with a MIL On and DTC(s) P0171, P0172, P0174, and/or P0175 in continuous
memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors. These DTCs have no connection to the
downstream HO2S sensor function nor its diagnosis for faults. Always verify the vehicle concern,
then perform the pinpoint diagnostics from the appropriate PC/ED Service Manual.
3. Diagnosing lean conditions and lean DTCs P0171, P0174: Freeze Frame Data can often help to
identify the type of lean condition, even if the fault is intermittent, by indicating how the vehicle was
being driven when the fault occurred. Diagnosis of lean conditions and lean adaptive DTCs can be
difficult, especially if the concern is intermittent. Verifying the concern is extremely important. There
are different types of lean conditions. The ability to identify the type of lean condition causing the
concern can be crucial to a correct diagnosis. When DTCs P0171 and P0174 are both present,
there is a strong likelihood of another concern being present:
a. Vacuum leaks/unmetered air: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the
condition. This condition is typically caused by air entering the engine through an abnormal source
(opening), or due to a MAF malfunction. In this situation, the volume of air entering the engine is
actually greater than what the MAF is indicating to the PCM. Vacuum leaks will normally be most
apparent when high manifold vacuum is present, during idle or light throttle. If Freeze Frame Data
indicates that the fault occurred at idle, a check for vacuum leaks/unmetered air when the engine is
cold might be the best starting point.
Examples: Loose, leaking or disconnected vacuum lines, intake manifold gaskets or 0-rings,
throttle body gaskets, brake booster, air inlet tube, stuck/frozen/aftermarket PCV valve, unseated
engine oil dipstick, MAF reading lower than normal, etc.
b. Insufficient fueling: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of stoichiometry
(14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the condition. This
condition is typically caused by a fuel delivery system concern that restricts or limits the amount of
fuel being delivered to the engine. This condition will normally be most apparent when the engine is
under a heavy load, when a higher volume of fuel is required. If Freeze Frame Data indicates that
the fault occurred under a heavy load, a check of the fuel delivery system (checking fuel pressure
with engine under a load) might be the best starting point.
Examples: Low fuel pressure (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel leaks, restricted fuel supply lines), fuel
injector concerns, etc.
c. Exhaust system leaks: In this type of condition, the engine may actually be running near
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio), but the exhaust gas mixture will be lean. This condition is
caused by oxygen-rich air entering the exhaust system through an external source. This condition
will cause the exhaust gas mixture to be lean, even though the actual combustion in the engine
may not be.
Examples: Exhaust system leaks upstream or near HO2S, malfunctioning Secondary Air Injection
system
d. MAF concerns: If a MAF concern is suspected, see TSB 98-23-10.
4. Checking fuel pressure: Check fuel pressure with engine under a load when diagnosing a lean
concern. A partially plugged fuel filter can be difficult to detect and can be easily overlooked if fuel
pressure is only checked at idle. The same is true for other types of fuel supply concerns (e.g., bent
or kinked lines, degraded fuel pump).
At idle, an engine requires only a small volume of fuel. Due to the fact that there is a small volume
of fuel needed at idle, a restriction in the fuel supply line in many cases will not cause the fuel
pressure to be low. When the vehicle is under a load, the engine requires much more fuel than at
idle. Under a load, a restriction in the fuel supply line will prevent the high rate of fuel flow that is
needed to maintain the correct fuel pressure.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Vehicle Speed Sensor
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is mounted on the front of the rear axle housing above the pinion
flange. The speed sensor ring is located in the rear axle between the ring gear and differential
case. The signal from the sensor is not routed directly to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It is
received by the Programmable Speedometer/Odometer Module (PSOM), which provides the PCM
with a vehicle speed signal.

Vehicle Speed Sensor Schematic
DESCRIPTION
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is a variable reluctance sensor that generates a waveform with a
frequency that is proportional to vehicle speed. When the vehicle is moving slowly, the sensor
produces a low frequency signal. As the vehicle speed increases, the sensor produces a higher
frequency signal. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses this signal to control fuel injection,
ignition timing and transmission/transaxle shift points. This Pinpoint Test is intended to diagnose
only the following: VSS Harness Circuits

Article 97-6-18 is being republished with updates as part of a consolidated 7.3L diagnostic aid
booklet.
ISSUE
The 7.3L Direct Injection Turbo (DIT) engines are built with 0.1016-0.8128 mm (0.0040-0.032")
clearance between the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and the trigger wheel. At approximately
1.016 mm (0.040") clearance, the sensor will fail to synchronize and result in a no run condition.
Improper CMP clearance can be seen in the following six (6) symptoms:
^ 1) Fault codes - incorrect synchronization count
^ 2) Low RPM - fails to achieve rated speed for 2-3 minutes after extended cold soak
^ 3) No start - after extended cold soak
^ 4) Runs poorly cold - engine runs OK warm
^ 5) Stall on deceleration - more pronounced cold
^ 6) Starts, runs cold, dies warm, will not restart until cool
ACTION
Install a shim between the CMP sensor and the front engine cover. The shim will allow the correct
clearance which should reduce the possibility of concerns. Refer to the following Service Procedure
for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Perform normal DIT Powerstroke diagnostics. If no other problems are found, proceed with this
TSB article.
2. Remove CMP sensor and inspect for signs of contact with the pulse wheel. Make sure the holes
on the end are filled with epoxy and inspect the connector mating cavity for signs of oil
contamination. If there are any signs of contact, contamination, or the holes are not filled, replace
the CMP Sensor (F6TZ-12K073-A).
3. Repair symptoms 1) - 5) as follows: install a 0.254 mm (0.010") shim under the CMP sensor. If
symptoms persist, increase the shim thickness to 0.508 mm (0.020") Shim (F7TZ-1 2J072-AA).
NOTE
SOME ENGINES BETWEEN SERIAL NUMBERS 388840 AND 410010 HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH
EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF TRIGGER WHEEL RUNOUT. RUNOUT OF THE TRIGGER WHEEL
GREATER THAN 0.508 mm (0.020") MIGHT NOT BE RESOLVED WITH A SHIM. THE
ADDITIONAL CLEARANCE CAN PUT TOTAL CLEARANCE ABOVE 1.016 mm (0.040") AND
CAUSE FAILURE TO SYNCHRONIZE.
4. If symptom 6) occurs and trigger wheel runout is greater than 0.508 mm (0.020"), try a 0.254 mm
(0.010") shim. If the concern is unresolved, replace the Camshaft Assembly (F4TZ-6250-A). Refer
to the appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 03-01C, for camshaft assembly
replacement procedure.

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation
WARNING: VEHICLE SENSOR ORIENTATION IS CRITICAL FOR PROPER SYSTEM
OPERATION. IF A VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG RESTRAINT
SYSTEM HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE RADIATOR SUPPORT, FRAME
RAILS OR COWLS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED, INSPECT THE SENSOR MOUNTING BRACKETS
FOR DEFORMATION. IF DAMAGED, THE SENSOR SHOULD BE REPLACED WHETHER OR
NOT THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED. IN ADDITION, MAKE SURE THE BODY STRUCTURE IN
THE AREA OF THE SENSOR MOUNTING IS RESTORED TO ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION.
NOTE: Undamaged sensors will reset automatically after an accident and can be reused.
The sensors are electrical switches which react to impacts according to direction and force.
Sensors discriminate between impacts that require air bag inflation and impacts that do not require
air bag inflation. When an impact occurs that requires air bag inflation, the sensor contacts close,
completing the electrical circuit necessary for system operation.
Three sensors are mounted in the vehicle. Their locations are as follows:
- A primary air bag sensor at the center of the radiator support.
- A primary sensor on the right frame rail.
- A safing sensor at the right cowl side trim panel.
At least two sensors (one primary sensor and one safing sensor) must be closed to inflate the air
bag.
The sensors automatically "reset" after a collision and do not need to be replaced unless they are
physically damaged. Replace only if proper alignment is not possible due to bent brackets, cut
wires, smashed connectors, etc.

Safing Sensor: Description and Operation
WARNING: VEHICLE SENSOR ORIENTATION IS CRITICAL FOR PROPER SYSTEM
OPERATION. IF A VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG RESTRAINT
SYSTEM HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE RADIATOR SUPPORT, FRAME
RAILS OR COWLS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED, INSPECT THE SENSOR MOUNTING BRACKETS
FOR DEFORMATION. IF DAMAGED, THE SENSOR SHOULD BE REPLACED WHETHER OR
NOT THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED. IN ADDITION, MAKE SURE THE BODY STRUCTURE IN
THE AREA OF THE SENSOR MOUNTING IS RESTORED TO ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION.
NOTE: Undamaged sensors will reset automatically after an accident and can be reused.
The sensors are electrical switches which react to impacts according to direction and force.
Sensors discriminate between impacts that require air bag inflation and impacts that do not require
air bag inflation. When an impact occurs that requires air bag inflation, the sensor contacts close,
completing the electrical circuit necessary for system operation.
Three sensors are mounted in the vehicle. Their locations are as follows:
- A primary air bag sensor at the center of the radiator support.
- A primary sensor on the right frame rail.
- A safing sensor at the right cowl side trim panel.
At least two sensors (one primary sensor and one safing sensor) must be closed to inflate the air
bag.
The sensors automatically "reset" after a collision and do not need to be replaced unless they are
physically damaged. Replace only if proper alignment is not possible due to bent brackets, cut
wires, smashed connectors, etc.

Throttle Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Accelerator Pedal (AP) Sensor
Accelerator Pedal (AP) Sensor
DESCRIPTION
The Accelerator Pedal (AP) Sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal and detects the position of
the accelerator pedal.
OPERATION
The accelerator pedal position information is sent as a voltage signal to the PCM. The PCM uses
this information to determine shift scheduling and electronic pressure control.
FUNCTION
If a malfunction occurs in the AP sensor circuit, the PCM will recognize that the AP signal is out of
specification. The PCM will then operate the E4OD at a high line pressure to prevent transmission
damage. This higher line pressure results in harsh upshifts and engagements.

Throttle Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Throttle Position Sensor
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
Description
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer attached to the fuel injection pump and is
operated by the throttle lever.
Operation
The TP sensor is incorporated to provide an electrical signal, which is proportional to the amount of
fuel being delivered, as an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Based on this
information, the TP sensor provides the proper shift scheduling and torque capacity.
Should a malfunction occur in the TP sensor circuit, the electrical signal sent to the PCM will be
recognized as erroneous. When this out-of-specification signal is detected, the PCM will operate
the E4OD at a higher line pressure to protect the transmission from potential damage. This high
line pressure, results in harsh upshifts and engagements.

DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor is a temperature-sensitive device called a
thermistor it is located in the solenoid body assembly it sends a voltage signal to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). The voltage signal varies with the transmission fluid temperature.
OPERATION
The PCM uses the voltage signal to determine whether a cold start shift schedule is necessary.
The cold start shift schedule lowers shift speeds to allow for the reduced performance of cold
engine operation. The TFT is part of the transmission solenoid assembly and is not replaced
separately.

SUSPENSION - VEHICLE APPEARS TO DOGTRACK - SERVICE TIP
FORD: 1992-2003 E SERIES
Article 00-5-10 is being republished in its entirety to update the vehicle model years.
ISSUE
The customer may report that an E-Series appears to dogtrack. This customer concern is generally
due to unique features of an E-Series that combine to create an optical illusion of dogtracking.
Dogtracking is the condition in which the rear axle is not square to the chassis. Heavily crowned
roads can add to the illusion of dogtracking.
ACTION
Become aware of the unique features that can create the optical illusion of a dogtrack condition.
Follow the Service Procedure to determine if a dogtrack condition exists. If a dogtrack condition
can be verified, follow the Diagnostic Procedure and Repair Instructions to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
DOGTRACK CONDITIONS THAT ARE THE RESULT OF A COLLISION ARE NOT TO BE
ADDRESSED USING THIS TSB. DOGTRACKING THAT IS THE RESULT OF A COLLISION
MUST BE REPAIRED USING GENERALLY ACCEPTED COLLISION REPAIR TECHNIQUES.
NOTE
NEARLY ALL CUSTOMER REPORTS OF DOGTRACKING ARE THE RESULT OF THE OPTICAL
ILLUSION DOGTRACKING THAT IS COMMON ON THE E-Series.
Two unique conditions combine on the E-Series that enhance the optical illusion of dogtracking.
First: Front wheel track center of tire to center of tire is wider than the rear wheel track. A person
traveling behind the vehicle will be able to see both the front wheel and the rear wheel. The rear
wheel will appear to be further toward the center of the vehicle (Figure 1). Front wheel track =
1.76m (69.4), rear wheel track = 1.70m (67.0").

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer
Interest: > 02-16-8 > Aug > 02 > Steering/Suspension - Apparent 'Dogtracking' > Page 967
Second: The body of the vehicle is widest in the middle and tapers in toward the front and rear of
the vehicle. The rear width of the vehicle is nearly 10cm (4 ") narrower than the widest section of
the vehicle in the middle. The Supervan (extended length) continues to taper to the rear of the
vehicle and magnifies the optical illusion of dogtracking. Because of the taper of the body, a person
driving behind the vehicle can see the side of the vehicle. ONLY if a true condition of dogtracking is
suspected, follow Service Procedure to verify and repair.
NOTE
ATTEMPTING TO USE THE FOLLOWING SERVICE PROCEDURE TO REDUCE THE
APPEARANCE OF DOGTRACKING ON A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT TRULY DOGTRACKING WILL
LEAD TO ALIGNMENT AND TIRE ISSUES. DO NOT USE THIS PROCEDURE UNLESS A TRUE
DOGTRACK CONDITION IS VERIFIED!
NOTE
SOME NON-FORD AFTERMARKET SPRINGS DO NOT HAVE A CENTER BOLT IN THE LEAF
SPRING, WHICH CAN CAUSE DOGTRACKING BY NOT CENTERING THE AXLE ON THE LEAF
SPRING. UNEVEN LOADING OF THE VEHICLE (LEFT TO RIGHT) CAN ALSO CAUSE
DOGTRACKING.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1. Verify the vehicle dogtracks by measuring the rear axle thrust angle (Figure 2) on the vehicle
with a calibrated 4-wheel alignment machine.
2. Record reading and follow repair instruction based on reading:
a. Thrust angle of 0 to +/- 0.5 degrees
(1) Thrust angle less than 0.5 degrees (32 mm/1.25"centerline difference) is in specification
b. Thrust angle of +/- 0.51 to 0.8 degrees
(1) To modify thrust angle by 0.1 to 0.3 degrees:

Article 00-5-10 is being republished in its entirety to update the vehicle model years.
ISSUE
The customer may report that an E-Series appears to dogtrack. This customer concern is generally
due to unique features of an E-Series that combine to create an optical illusion of dogtracking.
Dogtracking is the condition in which the rear axle is not square to the chassis. Heavily crowned
roads can add to the illusion of dogtracking.
ACTION
Become aware of the unique features that can create the optical illusion of a dogtrack condition.
Follow the Service Procedure to determine if a dogtrack condition exists. If a dogtrack condition
can be verified, follow the Diagnostic Procedure and Repair Instructions to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
DOGTRACK CONDITIONS THAT ARE THE RESULT OF A COLLISION ARE NOT TO BE
ADDRESSED USING THIS TSB. DOGTRACKING THAT IS THE RESULT OF A COLLISION
MUST BE REPAIRED USING GENERALLY ACCEPTED COLLISION REPAIR TECHNIQUES.
NOTE
NEARLY ALL CUSTOMER REPORTS OF DOGTRACKING ARE THE RESULT OF THE OPTICAL
ILLUSION DOGTRACKING THAT IS COMMON ON THE E-Series.
Two unique conditions combine on the E-Series that enhance the optical illusion of dogtracking.
First: Front wheel track center of tire to center of tire is wider than the rear wheel track. A person
traveling behind the vehicle will be able to see both the front wheel and the rear wheel. The rear
wheel will appear to be further toward the center of the vehicle (Figure 1). Front wheel track =
1.76m (69.4), rear wheel track = 1.70m (67.0").

Second: The body of the vehicle is widest in the middle and tapers in toward the front and rear of
the vehicle. The rear width of the vehicle is nearly 10cm (4 ") narrower than the widest section of
the vehicle in the middle. The Supervan (extended length) continues to taper to the rear of the
vehicle and magnifies the optical illusion of dogtracking. Because of the taper of the body, a person

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 985
^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 991
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 992
g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))

Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 993
engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 995
Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical
Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 999
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1000
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical
Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1001
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical
Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1002
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical
Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1003
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Pinpoint Tests
The pinpoint tests are a step-by-step diagnostic process designed to determine the cause of a
condition. It may not always be necessary to follow a pinpoint test to its conclusion. Carry out only
the steps necessary to correct the condition. Then, test the system for normal operation.
Sometimes, it is necessary to remove various vehicle components to gain access to the component
requiring testing. For additional information, REFER to the appropriate Workshop Manual section
for removal and installation procedures. Reinstall all components after verifying system operation is
normal.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1073
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

6. Tighten all the exhaust hanger clamps and flanges (tighten the exhaust manifold flange joint
last).
^ Verify there is adequate clearance to prevent grounding at any point in the system. Make sure
that the catalytic converter and heat shield do not contact the frame rails.
^ After neutralization. the rubber in the exhaust hangers should show some flexibility when
movement is applied to the exhaust system.
^ With the exhaust system installed securely and cooled. the rear hanger should be angled
forward.
7. Lower the vehicle.
8. Test the exhaust system for normal operation.
Wheel Bearing Check
1. WARNING:
The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can
result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
Raise the vehicle until the front tires are off the floor.
^ Make sure the wheels are in a straight forward position.
2. Note:
Make sure the wheel rotates freely and that the brake pads are retraced sufficiently to allow free
movement of the tire and wheel assembly.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service
Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1091
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The

engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1095
Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service
Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1099
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1101
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service
Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1102
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service
Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1103
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Pinpoint Tests
The pinpoint tests are a step-by-step diagnostic process designed to determine the cause of a
condition. It may not always be necessary to follow a pinpoint test to its conclusion. Carry out only
the steps necessary to correct the condition. Then, test the system for normal operation.
Sometimes, it is necessary to remove various vehicle components to gain access to the component
requiring testing. For additional information, REFER to the appropriate Workshop Manual section
for removal and installation procedures. Reinstall all components after verifying system operation is
normal.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1173
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

Exhaust System Neutralizing
WARNING:
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is harmful to health and potentially lethal. Repair
exhaust system leaks immediately. Never operate the engine in an enclosed area.
WARNING:
Exhaust system components are hot.
Note:
Neutralize the exhaust system to relieve strain on mounts which can be sufficiently bound up to
transmit vibration as if grounded.
1. WARNING:
The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can

6. Tighten all the exhaust hanger clamps and flanges (tighten the exhaust manifold flange joint
last).
^ Verify there is adequate clearance to prevent grounding at any point in the system. Make sure
that the catalytic converter and heat shield do not contact the frame rails.
^ After neutralization. the rubber in the exhaust hangers should show some flexibility when
movement is applied to the exhaust system.
^ With the exhaust system installed securely and cooled. the rear hanger should be angled
forward.
7. Lower the vehicle.
8. Test the exhaust system for normal operation.
Wheel Bearing Check
1. WARNING:
The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can
result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
Raise the vehicle until the front tires are off the floor.
^ Make sure the wheels are in a straight forward position.
2. Note:
Make sure the wheel rotates freely and that the brake pads are retraced sufficiently to allow free
movement of the tire and wheel assembly.
Spin the tire by hand to check the wheel bearings for roughness.

SUSPENSION - VEHICLE APPEARS TO DOGTRACK - SERVICE TIP
FORD: 1992-2003 E SERIES
Article 00-5-10 is being republished in its entirety to update the vehicle model years.
ISSUE
The customer may report that an E-Series appears to dogtrack. This customer concern is generally
due to unique features of an E-Series that combine to create an optical illusion of dogtracking.
Dogtracking is the condition in which the rear axle is not square to the chassis. Heavily crowned
roads can add to the illusion of dogtracking.
ACTION
Become aware of the unique features that can create the optical illusion of a dogtrack condition.
Follow the Service Procedure to determine if a dogtrack condition exists. If a dogtrack condition
can be verified, follow the Diagnostic Procedure and Repair Instructions to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
DOGTRACK CONDITIONS THAT ARE THE RESULT OF A COLLISION ARE NOT TO BE
ADDRESSED USING THIS TSB. DOGTRACKING THAT IS THE RESULT OF A COLLISION
MUST BE REPAIRED USING GENERALLY ACCEPTED COLLISION REPAIR TECHNIQUES.
NOTE
NEARLY ALL CUSTOMER REPORTS OF DOGTRACKING ARE THE RESULT OF THE OPTICAL
ILLUSION DOGTRACKING THAT IS COMMON ON THE E-Series.
Two unique conditions combine on the E-Series that enhance the optical illusion of dogtracking.
First: Front wheel track center of tire to center of tire is wider than the rear wheel track. A person
traveling behind the vehicle will be able to see both the

front wheel and the rear wheel. The rear wheel will appear to be further toward the center of the
vehicle (Figure 1). Front wheel track = 1.76m (69.4), rear wheel track = 1.70m (67.0").
Second: The body of the vehicle is widest in the middle and tapers in toward the front and rear of
the vehicle. The rear width of the vehicle is nearly 10cm (4 ") narrower than the widest section of
the vehicle in the middle. The Supervan (extended length) continues to taper to the rear of the
vehicle and magnifies the optical illusion of dogtracking. Because of the taper of the body, a person
driving behind the vehicle can see the side of the vehicle. ONLY if a true condition of dogtracking is
suspected, follow Service Procedure to verify and repair.
NOTE
ATTEMPTING TO USE THE FOLLOWING SERVICE PROCEDURE TO REDUCE THE
APPEARANCE OF DOGTRACKING ON A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT TRULY DOGTRACKING WILL
LEAD TO ALIGNMENT AND TIRE ISSUES. DO NOT USE THIS PROCEDURE UNLESS A TRUE
DOGTRACK CONDITION IS VERIFIED!
NOTE
SOME NON-FORD AFTERMARKET SPRINGS DO NOT HAVE A CENTER BOLT IN THE LEAF
SPRING, WHICH CAN CAUSE DOGTRACKING BY NOT CENTERING THE AXLE ON THE LEAF
SPRING. UNEVEN LOADING OF THE VEHICLE (LEFT TO RIGHT) CAN ALSO CAUSE
DOGTRACKING.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1. Verify the vehicle dogtracks by measuring the rear axle thrust angle (Figure 2) on the vehicle
with a calibrated 4-wheel alignment machine.
2. Record reading and follow repair instruction based on reading:
a. Thrust angle of 0 to +/- 0.5 degrees
(1) Thrust angle less than 0.5 degrees (32 mm/1.25"centerline difference) is in specification
b. Thrust angle of +/- 0.51 to 0.8 degrees
(1) To modify thrust angle by 0.1 to 0.3 degrees:

Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 1181
(a) Modify the spring center bolt head as shown in Figure 3, on the side of the axle which must be
moved. If the vehicle dogtracks to the right, grind the rear of the right side leaf spring pin. Reverse
for dogtracking to the left. Follow repair instructions.
(b) Adjust the axle by shifting it forward to make contact with the ground pin prior to torque down.
c. Thrust angle of +/- 0.81 to 1.0 degrees
(1) To modify thrust angle by 0.3 to 0.5 degrees:
(a) Modify the spring center bolt head as shown in Figure 3, on both sides of the axle. If the vehicle
dogtracks to the right, grind the rear of the right side leaf spring pin and the front of the left side leaf
spring pin. Reverse for dogtracking to the left. Follow repair instructions.
(b) Adjust the axle so that both ends make contact with the ground pins prior to torque down.
d. Thrust angle of +/- 1.01 or greater
(1) To modify thrust angle by more than 0.5 degrees:
(a) Ensure that 4-wheel alignment is correctly calibrated and re-measure.
(b) If reading is the same, have the frame measured and follow generally accepted collision repair
procedures to straighten frame.
REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE
FOLLOW NORMAL AND CUSTOMARY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN LIFTING A VEHICLE.
TO REVIEW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, REFER TO SECTION 100-02 OF THE E-Series 1998
TO 2003 WORKSHOP MANUAL.
1. Raise the vehicle oft the ground using a frame-mounted hoist or equivalent. Do not hoist the
vehicle using the rear axle as a lift point, as you will need the axle to be free for the repair.
NOTE
PERFORM REPAIR ON ONE SIDE AT A TIME IF ADJUSTMENT TO BOTH SIDES IS
NECESSARY.
2. Support the rear axle with jack stands and then remove the U-bolts which attach the rear axle to
the rear leaf springs on the side of the axle which will be moved. If the thrust angle is large, both
sides of the axle may require adjustment (see diagnostic procedures). Remove the lower shock
absorber and bolt from the axle and lower the jack stand on the side of the axle to be adjusted.

Alignment: Service and Repair Ride Height
1. Prior to checking caster and camber, ensure vehicle front ride height is within 1/8 inch side to
side.
Fig. 1 Measuring Ride Height
a. If the vehicle ride heights are not within specifications, redistribute load on loaded vehicles or
slightly load empty vehicles on one side. b. If the ride heights cannot be brought within
specifications, verify correct spring installation. c. The ride height variations stated are for checking
purposes only. The vehicle does not have to operate within these specifications. d. 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.
2. If all the above checks have been made, check wheel alignment with suitable alignment
equipment. 3. Using the ride heights obtained earlier, compare caster and camber readings to
those listed in the Wheel Alignment Specifications. 4. If the caster and camber angles exceed the
specifications, inspect front end for damaged suspension components. Replace as necessary.
NOTE: 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.

Air Filter Element: Description and Operation
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
Air enters a dry-type engine air cleaner and travels through a pleated, chemically treated, water
resistant paper air cleaner element to remove contaminants before entering the engine induction
system. The 7.3L Direct Injection (DI) turbo diesel engine also uses a pleated-paper upright type
element. Use of other than specific Ford replacement filters may result in significantly shortened
filter life and consequent dirt injection.
AIR CLEANER ELEMENT
Dry-type engine air cleaners are standard on all light truck vehicles.
The 7.3L diesel engine also uses a pleated-paper panel type air cleaner element which features an
expanding foam filter media attached to the sides of the paper. Use of other than specific Ford
replacement air cleaner elements may result in significantly shortened filter life and consequent
engine damage.
The air cleaner elements should be inspected, and/or replaced periodically according to the
maintenance schedule. The air cleaner system has an Intake Air Temperature (IAT) mounted in the
outlet hose to monitor engine inlet air temperature.
Air Restriction Gauge
On diesel engines, replace air cleaner element according to air restriction gauge.

Air Filter Element: Testing and Inspection
Air Restriction Gauge
Air Restriction Gauge
The 7.3L diesel engine air induction system uses an air restriction indicator to indicate when to
change the air cleaner element. The air cleaner element should be replaced when the yellow band
in the indicator reaches the CHANGE FILTER mark. Engine performance and fuel economy are
adversely affected when maximum restriction is reached. After servicing the air cleaner element,
the air restriction indicator can be reset by pushing the button on the end of the indicator. The air
restriction indicator is located on the clean-air side of the engine air cleaner.
Air Inlet Restriction Check
The best method for determining dry-type air cleaner maintenance periods on diesel equipped
vehicles is by periodically checking the air restriction indicator. It is recommended that the air
restriction indicator be used to determine service intervals. A visual inspection of the air cleaner
element will not determine the need for service. Overservicing is not recommended.
Air Cleaner Element
CAUTION: If the air cleaner element, engine air cleaner or air cleaner outlet tube is removed, use a
clean shop rag to prevent contaminants from entering the engine.
1. Replace the air cleaner element according to the maintenance schedule. 2. Check the old air
cleaner element. It could help to detect foreign material on the sealing surface that is causing
leakage. A streak of dust on the
clean air side of the air cleaner element seal is the tell-tale sign. If it exists, be sure the cause is
removed before installing a new air cleaner element.
3. Inspect the new air cleaner element for damage. Always look for possible shipping or handling
damage. Pay particular attention to the seals. Check
for cuts, etc.. Do not use a damaged air cleaner element.
4. Insert the new air cleaner element properly. Cover pressure is not necessary to compress the air
cleaner element seal.

SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
To prevent vehicle damage, always observe the following precautions: After servicing a hose, check for leaks before and after test driving the vehicle.
- Always use the correct size hose. Do not use standard sized hose in place of metric hose or vice
versa.
Always use the correct type of hose. Never use vacuum hose in place of fuel hose. Never use
heater hose in place of PCV hose.
- When replacing hoses which are attached to the engine on one end and the frame or body on the
other end, always leave sufficient length to compensate for engine movement (from torque).

Boiling Point Chart
Brake Fluid: Specifications Brake Fluid Boiling Point Chart
One of the key aspects of brake fluid quality is the temperature at which it boils. A comparison of
the boiling points for DOT 3 (in general), Ford DOT 3 and DOT 5 brake fluids is shown. If brake
fluid boils in the brake system, it forms vapor which reduces the ability of the brake system to
develop hydraulic line pressure. If brake fluid boils, the system acts just like a system with air in the
lines, except that it reverts to normal operation when the brakes cool and the vapor condenses.

NOTE: A newly opened can exceeds all minimum requirements.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture out of the air and must be stored in the original container with the cap
securely fastened. If not, its moisture content will increase and the boiling point will drop. Moisture
also will be absorbed while the fluid is in the brake system, but a properly capped and sealed brake
master cylinder reservoir (2K478) will limit the rate at which this occurs.
NOTE: For more brake fluid information see Fundamentals and basics.

Brake Fluid: Specifications
Hydraulic brake fluid color must conform with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 116. Under this standard, brake fluids are visually different from other automotive fluids
such as transmission, power steering and engine oil.

Brake Fluid: Testing and Inspection
Hydraulic brake fluid color must conform with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 116. Under this standard, brake fluids are visually different from other automotive fluids
such as transmission, power steering and engine oil.
The color of the brake fluid in a normal brake system in Service can vary from its original color for
many reasons. Sometimes a brake master cylinder (2140) may show significantly different shades
of color of brake fluid in the brake master cylinder reservoir (2K478). Some of the reasons for the
apparent difference in color in a system are listed below.
^ Brake fluid discoloration can occur due to heat and/or aging. ^ Brake fluid discoloration can exist
when different brands/shades of brake fluid are used in topping off during normal Service. ^ Brake
fluid discoloration can occur through the dissolving of color dye used on brake master cylinder
internal springs in manufacturer's assembly
procedure.
NOTE: Brake fluid contaminated with a hydrocarbon/mineral based fluid (power steering or
transmission fluid) can be detected by an obvious swelling of the brake master cylinder filler cap
gasket. If the swollen gasket condition is present, all brake system rubber parts must be replaced.
All brake tubes must be thoroughly flushed with Ford High Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid
C6AZ-19542-AA or DOT 3 equivalent fluid meeting Ford specification ESA-M6C25-A before the
vehicle goes back into Service.

Engine Coolant - Propylene Glycol Recommendations > Page 1313
Ford Motor Company does not recommend nor endorse the use of engine coolants made with
propylene glycol in Ford vehicles. Ford Motor Company currently recommends the use of ethylene
glycol-based engine coolants.
Published information suggests that engine coolants made with propylene glycol may provide
engine cooling performance equivalent to engine coolants made with ethylene glycol. However,
different brands of engine coolant provide varying corrosion protection for the cooling system. Ford
does not have performance data for the multitude of engine coolants available in the aftermarket
and therefore cannot recommend the use of any coolant except those sold by Ford Customer
Service Division. Consult the vehicle's Owner's Guide to determine the appropriate Ford Customer
Service Division coolant for the vehicle.
Furthermore, claims of toxicological and environmental advantages of propylene glycol over
ethylene glycol may be misleading. When significant new information is developed, Ford will review
this policy.
Ford Motor Company specifications recommend that vehicles be maintained using certain ethylene
glycol-based engine coolants. Those specifications do not refer to engine coolants made with
propylene glycol. Although the Ford New Vehicle Limited Warranty is not automatically voided upon
the use of a coolant made with propylene glycol, if such use results in damage to the vehicle or its
components, the cost of repairing the damage would not be covered by the Ford New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

ISSUE Ford Motor Company now recommends SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade for servicing any Ford
gasoline-powered vehicle regardless of model year.
ACTION When servicing any Ford gasoline-powered vehicle, use SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade
motor oil. Refer to the following text for further details.
Both SAE 10W-30 and SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade motor oils have been recommended in the past
depending on vehicle model and model year.
Tests have proven SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade motor oil provides the optimum protection and
benefits for Ford gasoline engines. At both high and low ambient temperature conditions, SAE
5W-30 provides the best overall protection. It allows faster starts under cold ambient temperatures.
SAE 5W-30 also provides approximately 1/2% increase in fuel economy over SAE 10W-30.
SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade motor oils certified for gasoline engines by the American Petroleum
Institute (API) should be used for all service procedures requiring replacement of the motor oil.

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.

A/C - Identification of Non Approved Refrigerants > Page 1381
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
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Refrigerant > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
A/C - Identification of Non Approved Refrigerants > Page 1382
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.

be necessary to prime the brake master cylinder using the following procedure:
1. Use a tubing wrench to remove the front brake tube (2264) and the brake master cylinder outlet
rear tube from the brake master cylinder. 2. Install short brake tubes in the brake master cylinder
and position them so that they curve into the brake master cylinder reservoir, and the ends of
the tubes are submerged in brake fluid.
3. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir (2K478) with new Ford High-Performance DOT 3 Brake
Fluid C6AZ-19542-AA or -BA or DOT 3
equivalent meeting Ford specification ESA-M6C25-A.
CAUTION: Brake fluid is harmful to painted and plastic surfaces. If brake fluid is spilled onto a
painted or plastic surface, immediately wash it with water.
4. Have an assistant pump the brakes until clear, bubble-free fluid flows from both brake tubes. 5.
Remove the short brake tubes and reinstall the front brake tube and brake master cylinder outlet
rear tube (2B253) on the brake master cylinder. 6. Bleed each brake tube at the brake master
cylinder using the following procedure:
a. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal (2455) 10 times and then hold firm pressure on the
brake pedal. b.Loosen the rearmost brake tube fittings with a tubing wrench until a stream of brake
fluid comes out. Have an assistant maintain pressure on the brake pedal until the brake tube fitting
is tightened again. c. Repeat this operation until clear, bubble-free fluid comes out from around the
tube fitting. Refill the brake master cylinder reservoir as
necessary.
d. Repeat this bleeding operation at the front brake tube fittings.
7. If any of the brake tubes, disc brake calipers (2B120), or rear wheel cylinders have been
removed, it may be helpful to prime the system by gravity
bleeding. This should be done after the brake master cylinder is primed and bled. To gravity bleed
the brake system:
a. Fill the brake master cylinder with new Heavy-Duty Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AA or -BA or DOT
3 equivalent meeting Ford specification
ESA-M6C25-A.
b. Loosen both of the wheel cylinder bleeder screws and leave them open until clear brake fluid
flows. Be sure to check the brake master
cylinder reservoir fluid level often and do not let it run dry.
c. Tighten the wheel cylinder bleeder screws (2208) to 7-9 Nm (61-87 in lb). d. One at a time,
loosen the caliper bleeder screws. Leave the bleeder screws open until clear fluid flows. Check the
fluid level often in the
brake master cylinder reservoir and do not let it run dry.
e. Tighten the caliper bleeder screws to 17-24 Nm (12-17 ft lb).
8. After the brake system has been primed, bleed the brake system at each wheel (1007).

MEGA FUSE - VIBRATION CAUSES MEGA FUSE TO OPEN - AMBULANCE CONVERSIONS
WITH 7.3L DIT ONLY
LIGHT TRUCK: 1995-96 E-350
ISSUE: Ambulance conversion companies modify the electrical distribution system in E-350
vehicles with 7.3L DIT engines. These modifications to the original equipment wiring in the area of
the Mega Fuse may decrease the strain relief which results in vibration of the Mega Fuse. This
vibration may lead to breakage of the fuse at the point of highest stress.
ACTION: Replace the Mega Fuse (Figure 1) with a shunt. The shunt should reduce the possibility
of fuse breakage caused by vibration. Refer to the following text for details.
Contact the original conversion company to discuss the replacement of the Mega Fuse. If the
original conversion company approves of the replacement, remove the Mega Fuse and replace it
with a shunt. Torque the Mega Fuse holder to 12-18 N-m (9-13 lb-ft).

Oil Level Warning Indicator: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
To alert the vehicle operator that the engine oil level is low.
COMPONENTS
The system consists of a float-type sensor mounted to the side of the engine oil pan, an electronic
control module, and an instrument panel warning lamp.
OPERATION
The Check Oil Indicator will light with ignition switch in the START position as a bulb prove-out.
When ignition switch is turned to RUN or START position, the control module determines whether
sensor is grounded (oil low) or ungrounded (oil not low). If oil level is adequate, light will go out in
RUN. If oil level is approximately 1.5 quarts or more low, the relay turns the warning lamp ON. The
lamp will remain ON until ignition is turned OFF. After ignition is turned OFF, module will not reset
for approximately five minutes. This delay allows time for oil drain back before another reading is
allowed to occur. If engine is restarted during this delay period, the last reading will be displayed.

from oil sensor, turn ignition ON and start engine. Warning lamp should come on briefly in START
for bulb test, then go out. Turn engine OFF. Drain two quarts of oil from engine. Wait approximately
five minutes, then restart engine. Warning lamp should come on and stay on. If warning lamp does
not come on check fuse, low oil level relay, low oil level sensor and lamp.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins
> Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1818
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

> Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1819
g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The

engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins
> Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1822
Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins
> Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1826
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

> Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1827
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins
> Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1828
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins
> Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1829
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins
> Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1830
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Pinpoint Tests
The pinpoint tests are a step-by-step diagnostic process designed to determine the cause of a
condition. It may not always be necessary to follow a pinpoint test to its conclusion. Carry out only
the steps necessary to correct the condition. Then, test the system for normal operation.
Sometimes, it is necessary to remove various vehicle components to gain access to the component
requiring testing. For additional information, REFER to the appropriate Workshop Manual section
for removal and installation procedures. Reinstall all components after verifying system operation is
normal.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.

and forth or up and down.
Whine A constant, high-pitched noise. Also described as a screech.
Whistle High-pitched noise (above 500Hz) with a very narrow frequency band. Examples of whistle
noises are a turbocharger or airflow around an antenna.
Wind Noise Any noise caused by air movement in, out or around the vehicle.
WOT Wide-open throttle
Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1917
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1918
g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1919
engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

^ Squeak and rattle grease tube
Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1925
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1926
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1927
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1928
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1929
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Pinpoint Tests
The pinpoint tests are a step-by-step diagnostic process designed to determine the cause of a
condition. It may not always be necessary to follow a pinpoint test to its conclusion. Carry out only
the steps necessary to correct the condition. Then, test the system for normal operation.
Sometimes, it is necessary to remove various vehicle components to gain access to the component
requiring testing. For additional information, REFER to the appropriate Workshop Manual section
for removal and installation procedures. Reinstall all components after verifying system operation is
normal.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1999
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

^ The pinion gear depth is correct. Decrease the differential ring gear backlash.
Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

Powertrain/Drivetrain Mount Neutralizing
WARNING:
The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can
result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the powertrain/drivetrain mount fasteners.
3. Lower the vehicle.
4. CAUTION:
Do not twist or strain the powertrain/drivetrain mounts.

5. Raise and support the vehicle.
6. Tighten the powertrain/drivetrain mount fasteners.
7. Lower the vehicle.
8. Test the system for normal operation.
Exhaust System Neutralizing
WARNING:
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is harmful to health and potentially lethal. Repair
exhaust system leaks immediately. Never operate the engine in an enclosed area.
WARNING:
Exhaust system components are hot.
Note:
Neutralize the exhaust system to relieve strain on mounts which can be sufficiently bound up to
transmit vibration as if grounded.
1. WARNING:
The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can

6. Tighten all the exhaust hanger clamps and flanges (tighten the exhaust manifold flange joint
last).
^ Verify there is adequate clearance to prevent grounding at any point in the system. Make sure
that the catalytic converter and heat shield do not contact the frame rails.
^ After neutralization. the rubber in the exhaust hangers should show some flexibility when
movement is applied to the exhaust system.
^ With the exhaust system installed securely and cooled. the rear hanger should be angled
forward.
7. Lower the vehicle.
8. Test the exhaust system for normal operation.
Wheel Bearing Check
1. WARNING:
The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can
result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
Raise the vehicle until the front tires are off the floor.
^ Make sure the wheels are in a straight forward position.
2. Note:
Make sure the wheel rotates freely and that the brake pads are retraced sufficiently to allow free
movement of the tire and wheel assembly.
Spin the tire by hand to check the wheel bearings for roughness.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 2017
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 2018
g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The

engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

^ Squeak and rattle grease tube
Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 2025
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 2026
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 2027
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 2028
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 2029
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

Powertrain/Drivetrain Mount Neutralizing
WARNING:
The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can
result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the powertrain/drivetrain mount fasteners.
3. Lower the vehicle.
4. CAUTION:
Do not twist or strain the powertrain/drivetrain mounts.
Move the vehicle in forward and reverse (2-4 ft).
5. Raise and support the vehicle.
6. Tighten the powertrain/drivetrain mount fasteners.
7. Lower the vehicle.
8. Test the system for normal operation.
Exhaust System Neutralizing
WARNING:
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is harmful to health and potentially lethal. Repair
exhaust system leaks immediately. Never operate the engine in an enclosed area.
WARNING:
Exhaust system components are hot.
Note:
Neutralize the exhaust system to relieve strain on mounts which can be sufficiently bound up to
transmit vibration as if grounded.
1. WARNING:
The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can
result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.

CAUTION:
Make sure the system is warmed up to normal operating temperature, as thermal expansion can he
the cause of a strain problem.
Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Loosen all exhaust hanger attachments and reposition the hangers until they hang free and
straight.
3. Loosen all exhaust flange joints.
4. Place a stand to support the muffler parallel to the vehicle frame with the muffler pipe bracket
free of stress.
5. Tighten the muffler connection.
6. Tighten all the exhaust hanger clamps and flanges (tighten the exhaust manifold flange joint
last).
^ Verify there is adequate clearance to prevent grounding at any point in the system. Make sure
that the catalytic converter and heat shield do not contact the frame rails.
^ After neutralization. the rubber in the exhaust hangers should show some flexibility when
movement is applied to the exhaust system.
^ With the exhaust system installed securely and cooled. the rear hanger should be angled
forward.
7. Lower the vehicle.
8. Test the exhaust system for normal operation.
Wheel Bearing Check
1. WARNING:
The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can
result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
Raise the vehicle until the front tires are off the floor.
^ Make sure the wheels are in a straight forward position.
2. Note:
Make sure the wheel rotates freely and that the brake pads are retraced sufficiently to allow free
movement of the tire and wheel assembly.
Spin the tire by hand to check the wheel bearings for roughness.

3. Grip each front tire at the top and bottom and move the wheel inward and outward while lifting
the weight of the tire off the front wheel bearing.
4. If the tire and wheel (hub) is loose on the spindle, does not rotate freely, or has a rough feeling
when spun, carry out one of the following:
^ On vehicles with inner and outer bearings, Inspect the bearings and cups for wear or damage.
Adjust or install new bearings and cups as necessary.
^ On vehicles with one sealed bearing, install a new wheel hub. Refer to the appropriate workshop
manual for the service procedures.

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

Service Bulletins > Lug Nuts - Proper Installation/Torqueing Procedure > Page 2134
^ 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: Many motorhome owners tow a vehicle when traveling. Improper techniques can
"overload" the brake system of the tow vehicle or damage the drivetrain of the vehicle being towed.
ACTION: Use the information and charts shown in this TSB article to properly match tow vehicle,
towed vehicle and towing method.
TOWING METHODS
1. TRAILER - The vehicle is loaded onto and secured to a trailer and simply acts as "secured"
cargo.
2. DOLLY - The vehicle is "partially" loaded and partially towed. Either front or rear wheels are
loaded and secured to a "towing dolly" and the other wheels roll on the road.
3. TOW BAR - All of the vehicle wheels roll on the pavement. The towed vehicle's steering column
must be unlocked so that it can track correctly behind the tow vehicle.
WEIGHT RATINGS AND BRAKES
^ GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) - is the MAXIMUM allowable weight of the towing vehicle,
passengers and cargo
^ GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) - is the MAXIMUM allowable weight of the towing
vehicle and the weight of the trailer or vehicle being towed, including all passengers and cargo
^ BRAKES - The motorhome brakes are designed and rated for the GVWR of that vehicle and will
provide adequate braking for trailers and towing vehicles up to 680 kg (1500 lb)
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Towing Information > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Vehicle
- Towing Behind RVs Guidelines > Page 2146
CAUTION:
SEPARATE AUXILIARY BRAKES ARE REQUIRED ON TRAILERS OR TOWED VEHICLES
OVER 680 KG (1500 LBS). DO NOT CONNECT A TRAILER'S, DOLLY'S OR OTHER TOWED
VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM TO THE TOWING VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM.
TOWED VEHICLES
1. Trailer-towed - The vehicle should be loaded on the trailer in a manner to:
a. achieve a trailer tongue load of 10-15% of total trailer weight,
b. not exceed the trailer or hitch ratings and
c. be securely tied down.
2. Dolly-towed - For front wheel drive vehicles, towing an automatic transaxle (ATX)-equipped
vehicle behind another vehicle, such as a Recreational Vehicle (RV), requires that a front wheel
dolly or trailer be used.
NOTE:
TEMPO ALL-WHEEL DRIVE MODELS MUST BE TRAILER-TOWED. DO NOT TOW THESE
VEHICLES USING A TWO-WHEEL TOWING DOLLY.
CAUTION:
DO NOT TOW A VEHICLE WITH AN AUTOMATIC (ATX) TRANSAXLE WITH THE DRIVE
WHEELS ON THE GROUND. DAMAGE TO THE TRANSAXLE MAY RESULT.
3. Tow Bar-towed - Vehicles which can be successfully towed with a tow bar are listed in the
following chart. Additional vehicle-specific information follows the chart.
ALL VEHICLES
NOTE:
DO NOT TOW ANY VEHICLE AT A SPEED FASTER THAN 88 KM/H (55 MPH). THE MAXIMUM
TOWING DISTANCE (WHEN TOWED CORRECTLY) IS UNLIMITED.
WARNING:
NEVER USE A TOW BAR THAT ATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.
MTX-EQUIPPED VEHICLES
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Towing Information > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Vehicle
- Towing Behind RVs Guidelines > Page 2147
Towing a manual transaxle (MTX)-equipped vehicle with the drive wheels on the ground is
acceptable only if the vehicle is towed in a forward direction. The parking brake must be released
and the gear shift lever must be in Neutral.
^ For Aspire, Festiva, Escort and Tracer, the ignition key must be in the ACO position, the battery
must be disconnected to eliminate battery drain, and the steering wheel must be unlocked
^ For Capri, the ignition key must be in the OFF position and the steering wheel unlocked
^ Refer to the specific vehicle Owner Guide for complete details
CAUTION:
TOWING MTX-EQUIPPED VEHICLES INCORRECTLY MAY RESULT IN TRANSAXLE DAMAGE.
TRUCKS
^ The steering wheel must be unlocked by placing the ignition key in the OFF position
^ Manual transmission shift lever must be in Neutral
^ On 4X4 manual shift transfer cases, the shift lever must be in Neutral
^ 4X4 locking hubs (both manual and automatic) must be unlocked

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Drive Belts, Mounts, Brackets and Accessories >
Engine Mount > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 2302
^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.

Tire Force Vibration A tire vibration caused by variations in the construction of the tire that is
noticeable when the tire rotates against the pavement. This condition can be present on perfectly
round tires because of variations in the inner tire construction. This condition can occur at wheel
rotation frequency or twice rotation frequency.
Transient Momentary, short duration.
Two-Plane Balance Radial and lateral balance.
Vibration Any motion, shaking or trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back
and forth or up and down.
Whine A constant, high-pitched noise. Also described as a screech.
Whistle High-pitched noise (above 500Hz) with a very narrow frequency band. Examples of whistle
noises are a turbocharger or airflow around an antenna.
Wind Noise Any noise caused by air movement in, out or around the vehicle.
WOT Wide-open throttle
Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

Procedure > Page 2308
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

Procedure > Page 2309
g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Drive Belts, Mounts, Brackets and Accessories >
Engine Mount > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 2310
engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Procedure > Page 2312
Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

Procedure > Page 2315
To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Drive Belts, Mounts, Brackets and Accessories >
Engine Mount > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 2316
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

Procedure > Page 2317
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Procedure > Page 2318
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Drive Belts, Mounts, Brackets and Accessories >
Engine Mount > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 2319
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Drive Belts, Mounts, Brackets and Accessories >
Engine Mount > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 2320
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

ISSUE Ford Motor Company now recommends SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade for servicing any Ford
gasoline-powered vehicle regardless of model year.
ACTION When servicing any Ford gasoline-powered vehicle, use SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade
motor oil. Refer to the following text for further details.
Both SAE 10W-30 and SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade motor oils have been recommended in the past
depending on vehicle model and model year.
Tests have proven SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade motor oil provides the optimum protection and
benefits for Ford gasoline engines. At both high and low ambient temperature conditions, SAE
5W-30 provides the best overall protection. It allows faster starts under cold ambient temperatures.
SAE 5W-30 also provides approximately 1/2% increase in fuel economy over SAE 10W-30.
SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade motor oils certified for gasoline engines by the American Petroleum
Institute (API) should be used for all service procedures requiring replacement of the motor oil.

Oil Level Warning Indicator: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
To alert the vehicle operator that the engine oil level is low.
COMPONENTS
The system consists of a float-type sensor mounted to the side of the engine oil pan, an electronic
control module, and an instrument panel warning lamp.
OPERATION
The Check Oil Indicator will light with ignition switch in the START position as a bulb prove-out.
When ignition switch is turned to RUN or START position, the control module determines whether
sensor is grounded (oil low) or ungrounded (oil not low). If oil level is adequate, light will go out in
RUN. If oil level is approximately 1.5 quarts or more low, the relay turns the warning lamp ON. The
lamp will remain ON until ignition is turned OFF. After ignition is turned OFF, module will not reset
for approximately five minutes. This delay allows time for oil drain back before another reading is
allowed to occur. If engine is restarted during this delay period, the last reading will be displayed.

Oil Level Warning Indicator: Testing and Inspection
With oil level at FULL mark on oil dipstick and engine oil warm to assure that oil drains properly
from oil sensor, turn ignition ON and start engine. Warning lamp should come on briefly in START
for bulb test, then go out. Turn engine OFF. Drain two quarts of oil from engine. Wait approximately
five minutes, then restart engine. Warning lamp should come on and stay on. If warning lamp does
not come on check fuse, low oil level relay, low oil level sensor and lamp.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
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 engine is idling, even though oil pressure
is adequate. However, light should go out when engine speed is increased.

Article 95-10-7 is being republished in its entirety as part of a consolidated 7.3L diagnostic aid
booklet.
ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit a poor idle quality and/or low output after the engine returns to idle
speed. This may be caused by a damaged oil pick-up tube assembly or a missing or damaged
0-ring seal on the oil pick-up tube causing high Injection Control Pressures (ICPs).
ACTION
If high ICPs are encountered, refer to the following Diagnostic Procedure to determine the cause of
the concern.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1. Complete all the steps in the 1994-1/2 or 1995 DI Turbo Diesel Diagnostic Guide. Repair any
problems which may exist that are not ICP related before proceeding with this procedure.
2. Verify the vehicle has oil with the correct specification and the correct oil level. If the oil quality or
service interval is unknown, change the oil and fill with oil of known specification. If the concern still
exists, continue with this procedure.
WARNING
BE SURE THE VEHICLE IS IN "PARK" OR "NEUTRAL" WITH THE PARKING BRAKE APPLIED
FOR THE REST OF THIS PROCEDURE.
3. While the engine is idling, note the ICP reading on Rotunda New Generation Star (NGS) Tester
(007-00500) or the ICP voltage at the Breakout Box (014-00950104-pin, 014-00322 60-pin).
4. Accelerate the engine to 3300 rpm. If the engine is unable to reach 3300 rpm, this is the result of
another failure. Repair this condition before proceeding with this procedure.
5. ICP readings which increase above 1250 psi (1.75 volts) within 15 seconds may be caused by
air being drawn into the high pressure oil system.
6. Add an additional 2.8 L (3 qt) of oil to the crankcase (raising the oil level to 16 L (17 qt)).
7. Raise the rear axle of the vehicle so the rear tires are approximately 10" off the ground to fully
submerge the pickup tube.
8. Accelerate the engine to 3300 rpm and monitor the ICP readings or ICP voltage. If the ICP
readings now stay below 1250 psi (1.75 volts), then there is a failure of the oil pick-up tube
assembly.
9. Remove the oil pan per the appropriate Service Manual.
10. Remove the oil pick-up tube and inspect for damaged or missing 0-ring. Inspect the tube
assembly for possible damage or cracks.
11. Replace any defective parts as necessary.
12. Fill the crankcase to the proper level (13.2 L (14 qt)), and retest the system to verify the ICP
readings are now within specifications.

Oil Level Warning Indicator: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
To alert the vehicle operator that the engine oil level is low.
COMPONENTS
The system consists of a float-type sensor mounted to the side of the engine oil pan, an electronic
control module, and an instrument panel warning lamp.
OPERATION
The Check Oil Indicator will light with ignition switch in the START position as a bulb prove-out.
When ignition switch is turned to RUN or START position, the control module determines whether
sensor is grounded (oil low) or ungrounded (oil not low). If oil level is adequate, light will go out in
RUN. If oil level is approximately 1.5 quarts or more low, the relay turns the warning lamp ON. The
lamp will remain ON until ignition is turned OFF. After ignition is turned OFF, module will not reset
for approximately five minutes. This delay allows time for oil drain back before another reading is
allowed to occur. If engine is restarted during this delay period, the last reading will be displayed.

Oil Level Warning Indicator: Testing and Inspection
With oil level at FULL mark on oil dipstick and engine oil warm to assure that oil drains properly
from oil sensor, turn ignition ON and start engine. Warning lamp should come on briefly in START
for bulb test, then go out. Turn engine OFF. Drain two quarts of oil from engine. Wait approximately
five minutes, then restart engine. Warning lamp should come on and stay on. If warning lamp does
not come on check fuse, low oil level relay, low oil level sensor and lamp.

Fig. 8 Magnetic Guage
The magnetic gauge movement consists of three primary coils, one of which is wound at a 90
degree angle to the other two. The coils form a magnetic field which varies in direction according to
the variable resistance of the sender unit which is connected between two of them. A primary
magnet which is attached to a shaft and pointer rotates to align to this primary field resulting in
pointer position. The bobbin/coil assembly is pressed into a metal housing which is attached to the
instrument cluster. These gauges require no adjustments, calibrations or maintenance. This gauge
system does not use an IVR.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
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 engine is idling, even though oil pressure
is adequate. However, light should go out when engine speed is increased.

Air Filter Element: Description and Operation
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
Air enters a dry-type engine air cleaner and travels through a pleated, chemically treated, water
resistant paper air cleaner element to remove contaminants before entering the engine induction
system. The 7.3L Direct Injection (DI) turbo diesel engine also uses a pleated-paper upright type
element. Use of other than specific Ford replacement filters may result in significantly shortened
filter life and consequent dirt injection.
AIR CLEANER ELEMENT
Dry-type engine air cleaners are standard on all light truck vehicles.
The 7.3L diesel engine also uses a pleated-paper panel type air cleaner element which features an
expanding foam filter media attached to the sides of the paper. Use of other than specific Ford
replacement air cleaner elements may result in significantly shortened filter life and consequent
engine damage.
The air cleaner elements should be inspected, and/or replaced periodically according to the
maintenance schedule. The air cleaner system has an Intake Air Temperature (IAT) mounted in the
outlet hose to monitor engine inlet air temperature.
Air Restriction Gauge
On diesel engines, replace air cleaner element according to air restriction gauge.

Air Filter Element: Testing and Inspection
Air Restriction Gauge
Air Restriction Gauge
The 7.3L diesel engine air induction system uses an air restriction indicator to indicate when to
change the air cleaner element. The air cleaner element should be replaced when the yellow band
in the indicator reaches the CHANGE FILTER mark. Engine performance and fuel economy are
adversely affected when maximum restriction is reached. After servicing the air cleaner element,
the air restriction indicator can be reset by pushing the button on the end of the indicator. The air
restriction indicator is located on the clean-air side of the engine air cleaner.
Air Inlet Restriction Check
The best method for determining dry-type air cleaner maintenance periods on diesel equipped
vehicles is by periodically checking the air restriction indicator. It is recommended that the air
restriction indicator be used to determine service intervals. A visual inspection of the air cleaner
element will not determine the need for service. Overservicing is not recommended.
Air Cleaner Element
CAUTION: If the air cleaner element, engine air cleaner or air cleaner outlet tube is removed, use a
clean shop rag to prevent contaminants from entering the engine.
1. Replace the air cleaner element according to the maintenance schedule. 2. Check the old air
cleaner element. It could help to detect foreign material on the sealing surface that is causing
leakage. A streak of dust on the
clean air side of the air cleaner element seal is the tell-tale sign. If it exists, be sure the cause is
removed before installing a new air cleaner element.
3. Inspect the new air cleaner element for damage. Always look for possible shipping or handling
damage. Pay particular attention to the seals. Check
for cuts, etc.. Do not use a damaged air cleaner element.
4. Insert the new air cleaner element properly. Cover pressure is not necessary to compress the air
cleaner element seal.

Ford Motor Company does not recommend nor endorse the use of engine coolants made with
propylene glycol in Ford vehicles. Ford Motor Company currently recommends the use of ethylene
glycol-based engine coolants.
Published information suggests that engine coolants made with propylene glycol may provide
engine cooling performance equivalent to engine coolants made with ethylene glycol. However,
different brands of engine coolant provide varying corrosion protection for the cooling system. Ford
does not have performance data for the multitude of engine coolants available in the aftermarket
and therefore cannot recommend the use of any coolant except those sold by Ford Customer
Service Division. Consult the vehicle's Owner's Guide to determine the appropriate Ford Customer
Service Division coolant for the vehicle.
Furthermore, claims of toxicological and environmental advantages of propylene glycol over
ethylene glycol may be misleading. When significant new information is developed, Ford will review
this policy.
Ford Motor Company specifications recommend that vehicles be maintained using certain ethylene
glycol-based engine coolants. Those specifications do not refer to engine coolants made with
propylene glycol. Although the Ford New Vehicle Limited Warranty is not automatically voided upon
the use of a coolant made with propylene glycol, if such use results in damage to the vehicle or its
components, the cost of repairing the damage would not be covered by the Ford New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

Fan Clutch: Description and Operation
Variable Speed Fan With Coiled Bi-Metallic Thermostatic Spring
PURPOSE
The fan clutch causes fan speed to increase with a rise in temperature and to decrease as
temperature decreases.
OPERATION
The fan drive clutch is a fluid coupling containing silicone oil. Fan speed is regulated by the
torque-carrying capacity of the silicone oil. The more silicone oil in the coupling, the greater the fan
speed, and the less silicone oil, the slower the fan speed. The fan drive clutch used is the coiled
bi-metallic thermostatic spring type. The fan drive clutch uses a heat-sensitive, coiled bi-metallic
spring connected to an opening plate, to control fan speed based on cooling need.

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 the clutch.

Fan Clutch: Testing and Inspection Fan Clutch Noise
Fan clutch noise can sometimes be noticed when the clutch is engaged for maximum cooling.
Clutch noise is also noticeable within the first few minutes after starting the engine while the clutch
is redistributing the silicone fluid 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 the fan. If the fan cannot be rotated manually or there is a rough, abrasive feel as it
is rotated, the clutch should be replaced.

Fan Clutch: Testing and Inspection Fan Clutch Operational Test
WARNING: Do not operate the engine until the fan has been first checked for possible cracks and
separations.
1. Run engine at a fast idle speed 1500 RPM until normal operating temperature is reached. This
can be done more quickly by blocking off the front
of the radiator with cardboard.
NOTE: Regardless of temperatures, the unit must be operated for at least five minutes immediately
before being tested.
2. 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 the coupling is operating satisfactorily.
- If very little effort is required to turn the fan, the coupling is not operating properly and should be
replaced.
Bi-Metallic Coiled Spring Removal
3. The clutch fan may be tested while the vehicle is being driven. To check, disconnect the
bi-metallic spring, and rotate it 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.

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

ISSUE: An "On-Vehicle" heater core pressure test is required before replacing any heater core
within the warranty period.
ACTION: Perform the "On-Vehicle" heater core pressure test by referring to the following heater
core leak test procedure.
HEATER CORE LEAK TEST PROCEDURE
Use the heater core pressure test to determine if the heater core is leaking. Symptoms associated
with a leaking heater core include:
^ Engine coolant leaking into the passenger compartment
^ Engine coolant blown onto the windshield during defrost operation
^ Engine coolant odor inside the passenger compartment
1. Partially drain cooling system.
2. Disconnect both heater core hoses.

(Figure 1).
8. Close the bleed valve and the tester and pump air into the heater core until 241 kPa (35 psi) is
reached on the tester gauge.
9. Observe the gauge after 3 minutes. The pressure should not drop. If the pressure does drop,
there is a leak. Check the hose connections and retest if you find a leak.
10. Replace heater core if pressure drops and hose connections do not leak.
11. Do not replace heater core if pressure does not drop. Pressure test engine cooling system for
leaks elsewhere.
12. Reconnect heater core and refill cooling system after all necessary repairs.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1995-96 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES
ISSUE: A coolant leak may occur at the radiator hose joints. This can be caused by:
^ Debris on the sealing surface
^ Misassembly of the hose and/or clamp
^ Defective or damaged hose clamp
ACTION: Refer to the following procedures for diagnosis and repair.
"Mega" hose clamps are to be used, if needed, because they have 30% more clamping force than
clamps used in the past. They expand and contract with the thermal cycling of the joint, thus
retaining their clamp load and efficiently sealing the joint over long periods of time. The screw-type
dual-wire and worm gear style band clamps are less robust under climatic and system thermal
cycling.
NOTE:
THE "MEGA" CLAMPS WERE SPECIFICALLY SIZED FOR 1995 AND LATER VEHICLES. THEY
ARE NOT APPROPRIATE FOR VEHICLES BEFORE THE 1995 MODEL YEAR BECAUSE THE
JOINT SEAL CONFIGURATION AND DIMENSIONS ARE DIFFERENT.
NOTE:
IF A 1995 VEHICLE IS RECEIVED WITH A DUAL-WIRE CLAMP, REPLACE IT WITH A
COMPARABLE BAND CLAMP.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Pressure test the system to determine the location of the leak. Proceed with the following steps
only if it is a radiator hose joint that is leaking.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Hose Clamp, Cooling System > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest for Hose Clamp: > 95616 > Mar > 95 > Cooling System Leaking Radiator Hose Joint > Page 2600
2. Reseat the clamp by using a pair of pliers or vise grips to squeeze the clamp tangs together
(loosen the clamp), reseat the hose, then re-release the clamp. Pay close attention that the clamp
is straight (perpendicular to the hose) and is not cocked over the bead (Figure 1).

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest for Hose Clamp: > 95616 > Mar > 95 > Cooling System Leaking Radiator Hose Joint > Page 2601
3. Pressure test the system again. If the leak persists, check the radiator hose clamp for damage. If
damage is observed, replace the damaged part per the following installation steps. The clamps to
be used are as shown.
4. If only the clamp is to be removed, residual glue (located 180° away from the tangs) may exist
on the hose. The glue will generally dissipate over time with the thermal cycling of the engine. If
necessary, remove the glued clamp by applying a heat gun at 420°F (21500) to the glued portion
for approximately 1 minute. If any foreign material remains on (or if any material is removed from)
the hose, a sealing discontinuity will result and the hose must be replaced.
Proper installation of the hose and clamp is essential for the joint to be effective. The following
steps should be taken to ensure a robust hose joint.
ENSURING A ROBUST HOSE JOINT
1. Push the hose onto the connector until it is completely seated against the hose stop.
2. Release the "Mega" clamp by carefully removing the retaining clip using pliers or vise grips.
During removal, the clip should be held securely at all times. Do not pry or pop the clip off the
clamp.
Application Chart
3. Check that the clamp is straight, fully released and seated on the sealing area of the hose and
connector. The clamp should not be partially or completely cocked over or on top of the bead at the
end of the connector. The connector, radiator hose and clamp are shown in Figure 1.

ISSUE: A new radiator manufacturing process is currently being phased into production to provide
longer radiator life. Part of the process change is to cut, lance or pierce the two (2) supports that
connect the inlet and outlet tanks to relieve thermal stresses in the radiator. These cuts are located
at the top and bottom of the radiator in the "U" shaped support. Refer to Figure 1.
ACTION: Do not replace or return radiators because they appear to have the saw cuts in them.
Those cuts are a design requirement. All cars and trucks will have saw cut radiators at some point
during the 1994 and 1995 model years.

Application Chart for the affected vehicles.
ISSUE The Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has mandated that all aftermarket
service centers shall be able to either reprogram Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) or obtain
reasonably priced, timely PCM programming services at dealerships. Ford has released an
out-of-vehicle EEC V reprogramming cable to support this requirement. Also, PCMs are
reprogrammable to update calibration levels or to reprogram a common hardware type to a new
calibration in order to fill a service need without ordering a new PCM.

Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Powertrain Control Module: > 99-4-3 > Mar > 99 > PCM Reprogramming Out of Vehicle > Page 2709
ACTION Refer to the Application Chart in this article to use the new 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable to
handle all necessary out-of-vehicle programming of EEC V modules in the vehicles listed. This may
allow added flexibility in servicing aftermarket and fleet accounts as well as provide the ability to
have modules updated to new calibrations through the Parts Department instead of ordering new
parts.
Currently, EEC V modules must be installed in a vehicle to reprogram a new calibration in the
module. An aftermarket service center may bring a module to a dealership for a calibration update
or may request an updated calibration be installed to a new service part. The EPA regulations
require "reasonably priced, timely service" be provided by the dealer. The new 15- to 104-Pin Flash
Cable works with the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester to provide the capability to reprogram a
calibration on a PCM out of the vehicle.
The 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable connects between the NGS Tester and PCM 104-pin connector.
The proper calibration must be downloaded to the Data Transfer Card through Service Bay
Technical System (SBTS). Once the card is inserted into the NGS Tester and the cable is
connected, follow the calibration download instructions displayed on the NGS screen.
The 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable (007-00587) can be ordered from Rotunda by calling
1-800-ROTUNDA.

ISSUE: Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) no longer need to be replaced when servicing
driveability concerns. The only time a PCM needs replacing is when it can no longer be
reprogrammed and/or is damaged. In all other cases, the PCM must be reprogrammed and NOT
REPLACED.
ACTION: Use the following Service Procedure to properly reprogram a PCM.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
PCM REPROGRAMMING USING SBDS
1. At the Main menu, select Powertrain and enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Select
"Continue."
2. From the Powertrain menu, select Electronic Engine category.
3. Scroll through the "Tool List" to PCM Reprogramming and select "Continue."
4. Any TSBs or Recalls for the entered vehicle will be displayed. There is up to a 6 week delay for
TSB/Recall information updates on SBDS. New TSBs/Recalls may not appear or only the TSB
number will be displayed even though the new calibration is on the current calibration CD-ROM.
Also, if the vehicle calibration is being updated because of a Special Service Message, Broadcast
Message or the PCM was replaced and requires calibration, no screen may appear. This is not a
concern and will not prevent programming updates or being paid for programming updates.
5. Follow all hook-up instructions and continue as prompted to the calibration screen. Typically, a
list of calibration numbers will appear. Answer as appropriate for the vehicle and select "Continue."
SBDS will then validate the information entered against the information read in the PCM, and any
mismatch of software or hardware will be displayed for technician action.
6. Insert the proper calibration or the latest level CD-ROM when prompted and follow the
instructions as displayed by SBDS. Do not crank the engine. SBDS will update the engine
calibration to the latest level calibration for the selected calibration.
7. After programming is complete, SBDS will display a representation of the Authorized
Modification Decal with the Engineering Part Number for the PCM installed. It is important that the
label be completed and attached to the vehicle. S8DS will also automatically print a copy of the
vehicle log for filing with the Repair Order.
8. Selecting "Continue" will call for a KOEO self test. Any hard faults present after performing self
test were not caused by reprogramming. The calibration has now been validated and the PCM is
operating properly. Unless directed by other Service Procedures, the vehicle can be released to

ISSUE The Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has mandated that all aftermarket
service centers shall be able to either reprogram Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) or obtain
reasonably priced, timely PCM programming services at dealerships. Ford has released an
out-of-vehicle EEC V reprogramming cable to support this requirement. Also, PCMs are
reprogrammable to update calibration levels or to reprogram a common hardware type to a new
calibration in order to fill a service need without ordering a new PCM.

ACTION Refer to the Application Chart in this article to use the new 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable to
handle all necessary out-of-vehicle programming of EEC V modules in the vehicles listed. This may
allow added flexibility in servicing aftermarket and fleet accounts as well as provide the ability to
have modules updated to new calibrations through the Parts Department instead of ordering new
parts.
Currently, EEC V modules must be installed in a vehicle to reprogram a new calibration in the
module. An aftermarket service center may bring a module to a dealership for a calibration update
or may request an updated calibration be installed to a new service part. The EPA regulations
require "reasonably priced, timely service" be provided by the dealer. The new 15- to 104-Pin Flash
Cable works with the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester to provide the capability to reprogram a
calibration on a PCM out of the vehicle.
The 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable connects between the NGS Tester and PCM 104-pin connector.
The proper calibration must be downloaded to the Data Transfer Card through Service Bay
Technical System (SBTS). Once the card is inserted into the NGS Tester and the cable is
connected, follow the calibration download instructions displayed on the NGS screen.
The 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable (007-00587) can be ordered from Rotunda by calling
1-800-ROTUNDA.

Powertrain Control Module: Description and Operation
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) retrieves inputs from various engine sensors to compute the
required fuel flow rate necessary to maintain a proper air/fuel ratio throughout the entire engine
operational range.
The PCM also determines and compensates the vehicle's uniqueness. The system will also
compensate for changes in altitude (i.e., from sea level to mountains).
The 104-pin EEC-V system PCM outputs a command to the Injector Driver Module (IDM) which in
turn energizes the fuel injector with up to 115V DC. The fuel injector is controlled by the in IDM to
meter the appropriate quantity of fuel at the correct time and duration.

Injector Driver Module: Description and Operation
The Injector Driver Module (IDM) supplies 115V DC to all of the fuel injectors.
The IDM receives signals from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for Cylinder Identification
(CID) and Fuel Delivery Command Signal (FDCS). The PCM controls when the timing of the
injectors should start and how long the injector is open.
The IDM controls the injector firing sequence through output drivers. The IDM has an output driver
for each injector: one low side driver for each injector and one high side driver for each bank of
injectors. The injector is fired when the output driver closes the circuit to ground, completing the
circuit ground path.

Glow Plug Relay: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The glow plug control module has a plastic base and two mounting bolts. It is operated by the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) which senses engine oil temperature, PCM voltage, and
barometric pressure.
OPERATION
When the engine oil temperature or the barometric pressure is low, the PCM activates the glow
plug control module and the intake manifold glow plugs. If the PCM voltage is too high, the PCM
deactivates the glow plug control module and the intake manifold glow plugs immediately energize
for a shorter duration, decreasing the modulation of the duty cycle.

Barometric Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation
Barometric Pressure Sensor
The Barometric Pressure (BARO) sensor is a variable capacitance sensor that, when supplied with
a 5-volt reference signal from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), produces an analog voltage
that indicates barometric pressure. The sensor signal is used to determine altitude to adjust timing
and quantity of fuel to optimize engine operation. The output of the barometric pressure sensor is
one of the variables used to calculate glow plug on time.

Article 97-6-18 is being republished with updates as part of a consolidated 7.3L diagnostic aid
booklet.
ISSUE
The 7.3L Direct Injection Turbo (DIT) engines are built with 0.1016-0.8128 mm (0.0040-0.032")
clearance between the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and the trigger wheel. At approximately
1.016 mm (0.040") clearance, the sensor will fail to synchronize and result in a no run condition.
Improper CMP clearance can be seen in the following six (6) symptoms:
^ 1) Fault codes - incorrect synchronization count
^ 2) Low RPM - fails to achieve rated speed for 2-3 minutes after extended cold soak
^ 3) No start - after extended cold soak
^ 4) Runs poorly cold - engine runs OK warm
^ 5) Stall on deceleration - more pronounced cold
^ 6) Starts, runs cold, dies warm, will not restart until cool
ACTION
Install a shim between the CMP sensor and the front engine cover. The shim will allow the correct
clearance which should reduce the possibility of concerns. Refer to the following Service Procedure
for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Perform normal DIT Powerstroke diagnostics. If no other problems are found, proceed with this
TSB article.
2. Remove CMP sensor and inspect for signs of contact with the pulse wheel. Make sure the holes
on the end are filled with epoxy and inspect the connector mating cavity for signs of oil
contamination. If there are any signs of contact, contamination, or the holes are not filled, replace
the CMP Sensor (F6TZ-12K073-A).
3. Repair symptoms 1) - 5) as follows: install a 0.254 mm (0.010") shim under the CMP sensor. If
symptoms persist, increase the shim thickness to 0.508 mm (0.020") Shim (F7TZ-1 2J072-AA).
NOTE
SOME ENGINES BETWEEN SERIAL NUMBERS 388840 AND 410010 HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH
EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF TRIGGER WHEEL RUNOUT. RUNOUT OF THE TRIGGER WHEEL
GREATER THAN 0.508 mm (0.020") MIGHT NOT BE RESOLVED WITH A SHIM. THE
ADDITIONAL CLEARANCE CAN PUT TOTAL CLEARANCE ABOVE 1.016 mm (0.040") AND
CAUSE FAILURE TO SYNCHRONIZE.
4. If symptom 6) occurs and trigger wheel runout is greater than 0.508 mm (0.020"), try a 0.254 mm
(0.010") shim. If the concern is unresolved, replace the Camshaft Assembly (F4TZ-6250-A). Refer
to the appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 03-01C, for camshaft assembly
replacement procedure.

ACTION
Install a shim between the CMP sensor and the front engine cover. The shim will allow the correct
clearance which should reduce the possibility of concerns. Refer to the following Service Procedure
for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Perform normal DIT Powerstroke diagnostics. If no other problems are found, proceed with this
TSB article.
2. Remove CMP sensor and inspect for signs of contact with the pulse wheel. Make sure the holes
on the end are filled with epoxy and inspect the connector mating cavity for signs of oil
contamination. If there are any signs of contact, contamination, or the holes are not filled, replace
the CMP Sensor (F6TZ-12K073-A).
3. Repair symptoms 1) - 5) as follows: install a 0.254 mm (0.010") shim under the CMP sensor. If
symptoms persist, increase the shim thickness to 0.508 mm (0.020") Shim (F7TZ-1 2J072-AA).
NOTE
SOME ENGINES BETWEEN SERIAL NUMBERS 388840 AND 410010 HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH
EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF TRIGGER WHEEL RUNOUT. RUNOUT OF THE TRIGGER WHEEL
GREATER THAN 0.508 mm (0.020") MIGHT NOT BE RESOLVED WITH A SHIM. THE
ADDITIONAL CLEARANCE CAN PUT TOTAL CLEARANCE ABOVE 1.016 mm (0.040") AND
CAUSE FAILURE TO SYNCHRONIZE.
4. If symptom 6) occurs and trigger wheel runout is greater than 0.508 mm (0.020"), try a 0.254 mm
(0.010") shim. If the concern is unresolved, replace the Camshaft Assembly (F4TZ-6250-A). Refer
to the appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 03-01C, for camshaft assembly
replacement procedure.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Camshaft Position Sensor
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is a Hall effect sensor that generates a digital frequency
while windows in a target wheel pass through its magnetic field. The frequency of the windows
passing by the sensor, as well as the width of selected windows, allows the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) to detect engine speed and position.

Cylinder Identification Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Cylinder Identification (CID) circuit output provides information to the Injector Driver Module
(IDM) on the position of each cylinder's TDC position. so that current can be applied to the correct
injector at the proper time.
OPERATION
The CID is one of two digital control signals used by the IDM. The CID is produced in the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and sent to the IDM via the CID circuit. The CID provides
synchronization information to the engine's first and fifth injector in the firing order. The IDM then
uses this information to properly control injector operation.

The H025 Monitor is an on-board strategy designed to monitor the HO2S sensors for a malfunction
or deterioration that can affect emissions. Under specific conditions, the fuel control or upstream
HO2S sensors (Figures 1 and 3) are checked for proper output voltage and response rate (the time
it takes to switch from lean to rich or rich to lean). Downstream HO2S sensors (Figures 1 and 3)
used for Catalyst Monitor are also monitored for proper output voltage. Input is required from the
ECT or CHT, IAT, MAF, TP and CKP sensors to activate the H025 Monitor. The Fuel System
Monitor and Misfire Detection Monitor must also have completed successfully before the HO2S
Monitor is enabled.
The HO2S sensor senses the oxygen content in the exhaust flow and outputs a voltage between
zero and 1.0 volt. Lean of stoichiometric (air/fuel ratio of approximately 14.7:1 for gasoline
engines), the HO2S will generate a voltage between zero and 0.45 volt. Rich of stoichiometric, the
HO2S will generate a voltage between 0.45 and 1.0 volt.
^ The HO2S Monitor evaluates both the upstream (Fuel Control) and downstream (Catalyst
Monitor) HO2S for proper function.
^ Once the HO2S Monitor is enabled, the upstream H025 signal voltage amplitude and response
frequency are checked. Excessive voltage is determined by comparing the HO2S signal voltage to
a maximum calibratable threshold voltage.
^ A fixed frequency closed loop fuel control routine is executed and the upstream HO2S voltage
amplitude and output response frequency are observed. A sample of the upstream HO2S signal is
evaluated to determine if the sensor is capable of switching or has a slow response rate.
^ An HO2S heater circuit fault is determined by turning the heater on and off and looking for a
corresponding change in the OSM and by measuring the current going through the heater circuit.
^ The MIL is activated after a fault is detected on two consecutive OBD II drive cycles.
The HO2S Monitor DTCs can be categorized as follows:
^ HO2S signal circuit malfunction - P0131, P0136, P0151, P0156
^ HO2S slow response rate - P0133, P0153
^ HO2S heater circuit malfunction - P0135, P0141, P0155, P0161
^ Downstream HO2S not running in on-demand self test - P1127
^ Swapped H025 connectors - P1128 and P1129
^ H025 lack of switching - P1130, P1131, P1132, P1150, P1151, P1152
^ HO2S lack of switching (sensor indicates lean) - P1137
^ H025 lack of switching (sensor indicates rich) - P1138

C2.) Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Monitor - Diagnostic Trouble Codes
D. Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
D1.) Catalyst Efficiency Monitor - Information
The Federal Test Procedure Catalyst Monitor monitors for deterioration in the catalyst system and
illuminates the MIL when tailpipe emissions exceed the appropriate HC emission thresholds. The
Catalyst Monitor is enabled after the upstream and downstream HO2S sensors have been tested
and verified to be functional. This monitor relies on the front and rear heated oxygen sensors
(HO2S) to infer catalyst efficiency based upon oxygen storage capacity. Under normal closed loop
fuel conditions, high efficiency catalysts have oxygen storage which makes the switching frequency
of the rear HO2S quite slow compared with the frequency of the front HO2S. As catalyst efficiency
deteriorates, its ability to store oxygen declines, and the rear HO2S begins to switch more rapidly,
approaching the frequency of the front sensor. In general, as catalyst efficiency decreases, the
switch ratio increases from a switch ratio of 0 for a low mileage catalyst to a switch ratio of 0.8 or
0.9 for a low efficiency catalyst.
Some vehicles will monitor substantially less than the entire catalyst volume in order to meet the
stringent catalyst monitoring malfunction thresholds. In many cases, only the front, light-off catalyst
is monitored.
Front and rear HO2S switches are counted under specified closed loop fuel conditions. After the
required number of front switches are obtained, a rear-to-front HO2S switch ratio is calculated. The
switch ratio is compared against a threshold value. If the switch ratio is greater than the calibrated
maximum limit, the catalyst has failed. The test entry conditions for the Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
are as follows: ECT or CHT (warmed engine), IAT (not at extreme ambient temperatures), MAF
(greater than minimum engine load), VSS (within vehicle speed window) and TP (at part throttle)
are required.
^ Because an exponentially weighted moving average is used for malfunction determination, up to
six OBD II drive cycles may be required to illuminate the MIL.
NOTE
THE CATALYST MONITOR ON SOME EARLY OBD II VEHICLES (SOME 1994-1996 VEHICLES)
WAS REFERRED TO AS THE "STEADY-STATE CATALYST MONITOR" AS OPPOSED TO THE
"FTP CATALYST MONITOR" (DESCRIBED ABOVE) THAT IS MOST COMMON FOR VEHICLES
BUILT AFTER 1996. BELOW IS A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE STEADY-STATE CATALYST
MONITOR:
The Steady-State Catalyst Monitor performs a 20 second test during steady state rpm and load
conditions. The Monitor transfers closed loop fuel control from the front to the rear 02 sensors. The
Monitor then observes the switching frequency and compares it to a threshold frequency stored in
an rpm/load table. A frequency higher than the maximum calibrated threshold indicates a
malfunction.
The Catalyst Monitor DTCs can be categorized as follows:

D2.) Catalyst Efficiency Monitor - Diagnostic Trouble Codes
E. Fuel System Monitor
E1.) Fuel System Monitor - Information
The Fuel System Monitor is an on-board strategy designed to monitor the fuel trim system. The fuel
control system uses fuel trim tables stored in the PCM's KAM to compensate for variability in fuel
system components due to normal wear and aging. Fuel trim tables are based on vehicle speed
and engine load. During closed loop vehicle operation, the fuel trim strategy learns the corrections
needed to correct a "biased" rich or lean fuel system. The correction is stored in the fuel trim tables.
The fuel trim has two means of adapting; a LONGFT and a SHRTFT. LONGFT relies on the fuel
trim tables and SHRTFT refers to the desired air/fuel ratio parameter "LAMBSE". LAMBSE is
calculated by the PCM from HO2S inputs and helps maintain a 14.7:1 air/fuel ratio during closed
loop operation. SHRTFT and LONGFT work together. If the HO2S indicates the engine is running
rich, the PCM will correct the rich condition by moving SHRTFT in the negative range (less fuel to
correct for a rich combustion). If after a certain amount of time SHRTFT is still compensating for a
rich condition, the PCM "learns" this and moves LONGFT into the negative range to compensate
and allows SHRTFT to return to a value near 0%. Input from the ECT or CHT, IAT, and MAF
sensors is required to activate the fuel trim system, which in turn activates the Fuel System
Monitor. Once activated, the Fuel System Monitor looks for the fuel trim tables to reach the
adaptive clip (adaptive limit) and LAMBSE to exceed a calibrated limit. The Fuel System Monitor
will store the appropriate DTC when a fault is detected as described below.
^ The H025 detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust and provides the PCM with feedback
indicating a rich or lean condition.
^ A correction factor is added to the fuel injector pulsewidth calculation according to the Long and
Short Term Fuel Trims as needed to compensate for variations in the fuel system.
^ When deviation in the parameter LAMBSE increases, air/fuel control suffers and emissions
increase. When LAMBSE exceeds a calibrated limit and the fuel trim table has clipped (reached
adaptive limit), the Fuel System Monitor sets a DTC.
^ The MIL is activated after a fault is detected on two consecutive OBD II drive cycles.
The Fuel System Monitor DTCs can be categorized as follows:
^ Fuel Delivery Error - P0148

E2.) Fuel System Monitor - Diagnostic Trouble Codes
F. Diagnostic Service Tips
1. Always reset KAM after performing a repair:
After performing a repair on a vehicle with the MIL on, and/or DTCs present, always clear KAM.
When a malfunction is present, the PCM adapts (attempts to correct) for this condition. Once the
vehicle has been repaired, if the KAM is not reset, the PCM will once again have to adapt back to
the normal operating conditions. Clearing the KAM will erase what the PCM has learned, so the
PCM will be able to start with "base tables".
2. Always view and record Freeze Frame Data:
Freeze Frame Data can be a valuable asset in duplicating and diagnosing concerns. This data (a
snapshot of certain PID values, recorded at the time the MIL was activated) indicates the manner in
which the vehicle was being driven at the time the fault occurred. This can be especially useful on
intermittent concerns. Freeze Frame Data, in some cases, can also help to isolate possible areas
of concern, as well as ruling out others. Always record (write down) the Freeze Frame Data.
3. Multiple DTCs (with the same meaning):
When multiple (paired) DTCs with the same meaning are set for multiple sensors, it is unlikely that
replacing both HO2S sensors will resolve the concern. In most cases, there will be another issue
that is causing the codes. Examples of multiple (paired) DTCs:
(P0135/P0155), (P0141/P0161), (P1131/P1151), (P1132/P1152).
To further clarify this, see the more detailed scenario as follows:
A vehicle comes in with a MIL On concern. KOEO self test reveals DTCs P0135 and P0155
(HTR-11 and HTR-21 circuit malfunction), with no other DTCs present. The most likely cause of
these DTCs would be something in the heater power circuit that both of these HO2S sensors have
in common (Example: open or shorted heater circuit wiring or splice). It is highly unlikely that
multiple sensors would fail at the same time. When multiple DTCs of this nature are encountered,
reviewing the appropriate wiring diagram(s) can help to isolate possible areas of concern. When
reviewing the wiring diagram, look for things that the affected sensors have in common.

In this example, the most likely cause of DTCs P0135 and P0155 (with no other DTCs present)
would be a concern with Splice "B" (refer to Figure 2).

4. View H025 PID data carefully: NGS PIDs for HO2S sensors that do not exist (with certain
exhaust configurations) will show a value of "0" volts (refer to Figures 3 and 4).
In this example, the vehicle (equipped with a 4-cylinder engine) has one upstream and one
downstream HO2S. Notice that the NGS (scan tool) display shows two upstream and two
downstream HO2S PIDs, and that the "unused" HO2S sensor PIDs display "0" volts.
5. H025 sensors measure oxygen in the exhaust, not fuel: The exhaust gas condition reported by
the HO2S sensor is based on the presence of oxygen in the exhaust, not the presence of unburned
fuel.
Example: In the event of an ignition-related misfire, you might expect a rich HO2S reading, due to
the amount of unburned fuel in the exhaust system. However, there is also a large amount of
unburned oxygen, since no combustion took place in the misfiring cylinder. Since the H025 senses
oxygen only, it would report a lean condition in this particular situation.
F2.) Tips Related to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H025) Monitor
1. OBD II Response Rate Monitor: The OBD II
Response Rate Monitor (P0133/P0153) is only run at vehicle speeds between approximately 50-95
km/h (30-60 mph), during steady-state conditions. The test lasts approximately 6 seconds.
Therefore, P0133/P0153 cannot be diagnosed at idle in the repair bay.
2. Do not compare H025 switch rate - Bank-to-Bank or vehicle-to-vehicle: Different H025 switch
rates, from Bank-to-Bank, are considered normal. The H025 switch rate, from one Bank to the
other, should not be compared as a gauge of the H025's ability to switch/react. The PCM is
continuously adjusting spark and fuel in reaction to engine operating conditions (rpm, load, air flow,
throttle angle, etc.). The PCM is also continuously adapting to certain conditions (customer driving
habits, engine and component wear, etc.).
F3.) Tips Related to Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
1. Determining catalyst efficiency/switch ratio:
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 2908
The upstream H025 sensors will have a high switch frequency, due to normal closed loop fuel
control. With an efficient catalyst, the downstream H025 will have a low switch frequency. The
switch ratio is determined by dividing the number of downstream switches by the number of
upstream switches over a given period of time. As the catalyst ages (or if the catalyst is damaged
or contaminated), the downstream switches will increase. When the downstream switch rate
crosses a threshold value (approximately 0.75 switch ratio), a code is stored (P0420 and/or P0430)
and the MIL illuminates (refer to Figures 5 and 6).
NOTE
IF A CATALYST IS DETERMINED TO HAVE LOW EFFICIENCY AND REQUIRES
REPLACEMENT, REPLACEMENT OF THE DOWNSTREAM H025 SENSORS WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
2. Use care in handling H025 sensors: In the event of catalyst replacement, use care in the
handling of H025 sensors to prevent damage or contamination. Do not use power tools in the
removal or installation of sensors. Use a 22mm wrench or crow foot to remove and install H025
sensors; do not use slotted sockets, as these sockets may damage wires. H025 sensors should be
torqued to 41 +/- 5 N.m (30 +/- 4 lb-ft).
3. Do not replace downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22) for DTCs P0420 and/or P0430:
When diagnosing a vehicle with a customer concern of MIL On and DTCs P0420/P0430 in
continuous memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22). Damaged
or malfunctioning downstream HO2S sensors will not cause these DTCs to be set. Always verify
the vehicle concern, then perform the pinpoint diagnostics in the appropriate PC/ED Service
Manual.

F4.) Tips Related to the Fuel System Monitor
1. HO2S sensors are not likely to be the cause of adaptive DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175:
Most warranty-returned HO2S sensors (replaced for these DTCs) are found to function normally.
Additional related DTCs will normally be present if there is a concern with the HO2S sensors. Do
not replace an HO2S sensor unless verified through pinpoint diagnostic tests found in the PC/ED
Service Manual.
2. DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, and P0175 are not related to downstream H028 sensors: When
diagnosing a vehicle with a MIL On and DTC(s) P0171, P0172, P0174, and/or P0175 in continuous
memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors. These DTCs have no connection to the
downstream HO2S sensor function nor its diagnosis for faults. Always verify the vehicle concern,
then perform the pinpoint diagnostics from the appropriate PC/ED Service Manual.
3. Diagnosing lean conditions and lean DTCs P0171, P0174: Freeze Frame Data can often help to
identify the type of lean condition, even if the fault is intermittent, by indicating how the vehicle was
being driven when the fault occurred. Diagnosis of lean conditions and lean adaptive DTCs can be
difficult, especially if the concern is intermittent. Verifying the concern is extremely important. There
are different types of lean conditions. The ability to identify the type of lean condition causing the
concern can be crucial to a correct diagnosis. When DTCs P0171 and P0174 are both present,
there is a strong likelihood of another concern being present:
a. Vacuum leaks/unmetered air: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the
condition. This condition is typically caused by air entering the engine through an abnormal source
(opening), or due to a MAF malfunction. In this situation, the volume of air entering the engine is
actually greater than what the MAF is indicating to the PCM. Vacuum leaks will normally be most
apparent when high manifold vacuum is present, during idle or light throttle. If Freeze Frame Data
indicates that the fault occurred at idle, a check for vacuum leaks/unmetered air when the engine is
cold might be the best starting point.
Examples: Loose, leaking or disconnected vacuum lines, intake manifold gaskets or 0-rings,
throttle body gaskets, brake booster, air inlet tube, stuck/frozen/aftermarket PCV valve, unseated
engine oil dipstick, MAF reading lower than normal, etc.
b. Insufficient fueling: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of stoichiometry
(14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the condition. This
condition is typically caused by a fuel delivery system concern that restricts or limits the amount of
fuel being delivered to the engine. This condition will normally be most apparent when the engine is
under a heavy load, when a higher volume of fuel is required. If Freeze Frame Data indicates that
the fault occurred under a heavy load, a check of the fuel delivery system (checking fuel pressure
with engine under a load) might be the best starting point.
Examples: Low fuel pressure (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel leaks, restricted fuel supply lines), fuel
injector concerns, etc.
c. Exhaust system leaks: In this type of condition, the engine may actually be running near
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio), but the exhaust gas mixture will be lean. This condition is
caused by oxygen-rich air entering the exhaust system through an external source. This condition
will cause the exhaust gas mixture to be lean, even though the actual combustion in the engine
may not be.
Examples: Exhaust system leaks upstream or near HO2S, malfunctioning Secondary Air Injection
system
d. MAF concerns: If a MAF concern is suspected, see TSB 98-23-10.
4. Checking fuel pressure: Check fuel pressure with engine under a load when diagnosing a lean
concern. A partially plugged fuel filter can be difficult to detect and can be easily overlooked if fuel
pressure is only checked at idle. The same is true for other types of fuel supply concerns (e.g., bent
or kinked lines, degraded fuel pump).
At idle, an engine requires only a small volume of fuel. Due to the fact that there is a small volume
of fuel needed at idle, a restriction in the fuel supply line in many cases will not cause the fuel
pressure to be low. When the vehicle is under a load, the engine requires much more fuel than at
idle. Under a load, a restriction in the fuel supply line will prevent the high rate of fuel flow that is
needed to maintain the correct fuel pressure.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Vehicle Speed Sensor
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is mounted on the front of the rear axle housing above the pinion
flange. The speed sensor ring is located in the rear axle between the ring gear and differential
case. The signal from the sensor is not routed directly to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It is
received by the Programmable Speedometer/Odometer Module (PSOM), which provides the PCM
with a vehicle speed signal.

Vehicle Speed Sensor Schematic
DESCRIPTION
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is a variable reluctance sensor that generates a waveform with a
frequency that is proportional to vehicle speed. When the vehicle is moving slowly, the sensor
produces a low frequency signal. As the vehicle speed increases, the sensor produces a higher
frequency signal. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses this signal to control fuel injection,
ignition timing and transmission/transaxle shift points. This Pinpoint Test is intended to diagnose
only the following: VSS Harness Circuits

Article 97-6-18 is being republished with updates as part of a consolidated 7.3L diagnostic aid
booklet.
ISSUE
The 7.3L Direct Injection Turbo (DIT) engines are built with 0.1016-0.8128 mm (0.0040-0.032")
clearance between the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and the trigger wheel. At approximately
1.016 mm (0.040") clearance, the sensor will fail to synchronize and result in a no run condition.
Improper CMP clearance can be seen in the following six (6) symptoms:
^ 1) Fault codes - incorrect synchronization count
^ 2) Low RPM - fails to achieve rated speed for 2-3 minutes after extended cold soak
^ 3) No start - after extended cold soak
^ 4) Runs poorly cold - engine runs OK warm
^ 5) Stall on deceleration - more pronounced cold
^ 6) Starts, runs cold, dies warm, will not restart until cool
ACTION
Install a shim between the CMP sensor and the front engine cover. The shim will allow the correct
clearance which should reduce the possibility of concerns. Refer to the following Service Procedure
for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Perform normal DIT Powerstroke diagnostics. If no other problems are found, proceed with this
TSB article.
2. Remove CMP sensor and inspect for signs of contact with the pulse wheel. Make sure the holes
on the end are filled with epoxy and inspect the connector mating cavity for signs of oil
contamination. If there are any signs of contact, contamination, or the holes are not filled, replace
the CMP Sensor (F6TZ-12K073-A).
3. Repair symptoms 1) - 5) as follows: install a 0.254 mm (0.010") shim under the CMP sensor. If
symptoms persist, increase the shim thickness to 0.508 mm (0.020") Shim (F7TZ-1 2J072-AA).
NOTE
SOME ENGINES BETWEEN SERIAL NUMBERS 388840 AND 410010 HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH
EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF TRIGGER WHEEL RUNOUT. RUNOUT OF THE TRIGGER WHEEL
GREATER THAN 0.508 mm (0.020") MIGHT NOT BE RESOLVED WITH A SHIM. THE
ADDITIONAL CLEARANCE CAN PUT TOTAL CLEARANCE ABOVE 1.016 mm (0.040") AND
CAUSE FAILURE TO SYNCHRONIZE.
4. If symptom 6) occurs and trigger wheel runout is greater than 0.508 mm (0.020"), try a 0.254 mm
(0.010") shim. If the concern is unresolved, replace the Camshaft Assembly (F4TZ-6250-A). Refer
to the appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 03-01C, for camshaft assembly
replacement procedure.

Air Filter Element: Description and Operation
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
Air enters a dry-type engine air cleaner and travels through a pleated, chemically treated, water
resistant paper air cleaner element to remove contaminants before entering the engine induction
system. The 7.3L Direct Injection (DI) turbo diesel engine also uses a pleated-paper upright type
element. Use of other than specific Ford replacement filters may result in significantly shortened
filter life and consequent dirt injection.
AIR CLEANER ELEMENT
Dry-type engine air cleaners are standard on all light truck vehicles.
The 7.3L diesel engine also uses a pleated-paper panel type air cleaner element which features an
expanding foam filter media attached to the sides of the paper. Use of other than specific Ford
replacement air cleaner elements may result in significantly shortened filter life and consequent
engine damage.
The air cleaner elements should be inspected, and/or replaced periodically according to the
maintenance schedule. The air cleaner system has an Intake Air Temperature (IAT) mounted in the
outlet hose to monitor engine inlet air temperature.
Air Restriction Gauge
On diesel engines, replace air cleaner element according to air restriction gauge.

Air Filter Element: Testing and Inspection
Air Restriction Gauge
Air Restriction Gauge
The 7.3L diesel engine air induction system uses an air restriction indicator to indicate when to
change the air cleaner element. The air cleaner element should be replaced when the yellow band
in the indicator reaches the CHANGE FILTER mark. Engine performance and fuel economy are
adversely affected when maximum restriction is reached. After servicing the air cleaner element,
the air restriction indicator can be reset by pushing the button on the end of the indicator. The air
restriction indicator is located on the clean-air side of the engine air cleaner.
Air Inlet Restriction Check
The best method for determining dry-type air cleaner maintenance periods on diesel equipped
vehicles is by periodically checking the air restriction indicator. It is recommended that the air
restriction indicator be used to determine service intervals. A visual inspection of the air cleaner
element will not determine the need for service. Overservicing is not recommended.
Air Cleaner Element
CAUTION: If the air cleaner element, engine air cleaner or air cleaner outlet tube is removed, use a
clean shop rag to prevent contaminants from entering the engine.
1. Replace the air cleaner element according to the maintenance schedule. 2. Check the old air
cleaner element. It could help to detect foreign material on the sealing surface that is causing
leakage. A streak of dust on the
clean air side of the air cleaner element seal is the tell-tale sign. If it exists, be sure the cause is
removed before installing a new air cleaner element.
3. Inspect the new air cleaner element for damage. Always look for possible shipping or handling
damage. Pay particular attention to the seals. Check
for cuts, etc.. Do not use a damaged air cleaner element.
4. Insert the new air cleaner element properly. Cover pressure is not necessary to compress the air
cleaner element seal.

periods of time after engine shutdown. The pressure must first be relieved.
WARNING: Before removing fuel tank filler cap, turn fuel tank filler cap 1/4 to 3/4 turn
counterclockwise and wait for tank pressure to relieve. Personal injury may result if fuel tank filler
cap is removed without pressure relieved fully.
2. When servicing the fuel lines, loosen the fuel fitting to allow any residual fuel line pressure to be
relieved.

Article 97-6-18 is being republished with updates as part of a consolidated 7.3L diagnostic aid
booklet.
ISSUE
The 7.3L Direct Injection Turbo (DIT) engines are built with 0.1016-0.8128 mm (0.0040-0.032")
clearance between the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and the trigger wheel. At approximately
1.016 mm (0.040") clearance, the sensor will fail to synchronize and result in a no run condition.
Improper CMP clearance can be seen in the following six (6) symptoms:
^ 1) Fault codes - incorrect synchronization count
^ 2) Low RPM - fails to achieve rated speed for 2-3 minutes after extended cold soak
^ 3) No start - after extended cold soak
^ 4) Runs poorly cold - engine runs OK warm
^ 5) Stall on deceleration - more pronounced cold
^ 6) Starts, runs cold, dies warm, will not restart until cool
ACTION
Install a shim between the CMP sensor and the front engine cover. The shim will allow the correct
clearance which should reduce the possibility of concerns. Refer to the following Service Procedure
for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Perform normal DIT Powerstroke diagnostics. If no other problems are found, proceed with this
TSB article.
2. Remove CMP sensor and inspect for signs of contact with the pulse wheel. Make sure the holes
on the end are filled with epoxy and inspect the connector mating cavity for signs of oil
contamination. If there are any signs of contact, contamination, or the holes are not filled, replace
the CMP Sensor (F6TZ-12K073-A).
3. Repair symptoms 1) - 5) as follows: install a 0.254 mm (0.010") shim under the CMP sensor. If
symptoms persist, increase the shim thickness to 0.508 mm (0.020") Shim (F7TZ-1 2J072-AA).
NOTE
SOME ENGINES BETWEEN SERIAL NUMBERS 388840 AND 410010 HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH
EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF TRIGGER WHEEL RUNOUT. RUNOUT OF THE TRIGGER WHEEL
GREATER THAN 0.508 mm (0.020") MIGHT NOT BE RESOLVED WITH A SHIM. THE
ADDITIONAL CLEARANCE CAN PUT TOTAL CLEARANCE ABOVE 1.016 mm (0.040") AND
CAUSE FAILURE TO SYNCHRONIZE.
4. If symptom 6) occurs and trigger wheel runout is greater than 0.508 mm (0.020"), try a 0.254 mm
(0.010") shim. If the concern is unresolved, replace the Camshaft Assembly (F4TZ-6250-A). Refer
to the appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 03-01C, for camshaft assembly
replacement procedure.

PURPOSE
The Cylinder Identification (CID) circuit output provides information to the Injector Driver Module
(IDM) on the position of each cylinder's TDC position. so that current can be applied to the correct
injector at the proper time.
OPERATION
The CID is one of two digital control signals used by the IDM. The CID is produced in the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and sent to the IDM via the CID circuit. The CID provides
synchronization information to the engine's first and fifth injector in the firing order. The IDM then
uses this information to properly control injector operation.

Injector Driver Module: Description and Operation
The Injector Driver Module (IDM) supplies 115V DC to all of the fuel injectors.
The IDM receives signals from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for Cylinder Identification
(CID) and Fuel Delivery Command Signal (FDCS). The PCM controls when the timing of the
injectors should start and how long the injector is open.
The IDM controls the injector firing sequence through output drivers. The IDM has an output driver
for each injector: one low side driver for each injector and one high side driver for each bank of
injectors. The injector is fired when the output driver closes the circuit to ground, completing the
circuit ground path.

ISSUE The Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has mandated that all aftermarket
service centers shall be able to either reprogram Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) or obtain
reasonably priced, timely PCM programming services at dealerships. Ford has released an
out-of-vehicle EEC V reprogramming cable to support this requirement. Also, PCMs are
reprogrammable to update calibration levels or to reprogram a common hardware type to a new
calibration in order to fill a service need without ordering a new PCM.

ACTION Refer to the Application Chart in this article to use the new 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable to
handle all necessary out-of-vehicle programming of EEC V modules in the vehicles listed. This may
allow added flexibility in servicing aftermarket and fleet accounts as well as provide the ability to
have modules updated to new calibrations through the Parts Department instead of ordering new
parts.
Currently, EEC V modules must be installed in a vehicle to reprogram a new calibration in the
module. An aftermarket service center may bring a module to a dealership for a calibration update
or may request an updated calibration be installed to a new service part. The EPA regulations
require "reasonably priced, timely service" be provided by the dealer. The new 15- to 104-Pin Flash
Cable works with the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester to provide the capability to reprogram a
calibration on a PCM out of the vehicle.
The 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable connects between the NGS Tester and PCM 104-pin connector.
The proper calibration must be downloaded to the Data Transfer Card through Service Bay
Technical System (SBTS). Once the card is inserted into the NGS Tester and the cable is
connected, follow the calibration download instructions displayed on the NGS screen.
The 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable (007-00587) can be ordered from Rotunda by calling
1-800-ROTUNDA.

ISSUE: Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) no longer need to be replaced when servicing
driveability concerns. The only time a PCM needs replacing is when it can no longer be
reprogrammed and/or is damaged. In all other cases, the PCM must be reprogrammed and NOT
REPLACED.
ACTION: Use the following Service Procedure to properly reprogram a PCM.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
PCM REPROGRAMMING USING SBDS
1. At the Main menu, select Powertrain and enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Select
"Continue."
2. From the Powertrain menu, select Electronic Engine category.
3. Scroll through the "Tool List" to PCM Reprogramming and select "Continue."
4. Any TSBs or Recalls for the entered vehicle will be displayed. There is up to a 6 week delay for
TSB/Recall information updates on SBDS. New TSBs/Recalls may not appear or only the TSB
number will be displayed even though the new calibration is on the current calibration CD-ROM.
Also, if the vehicle calibration is being updated because of a Special Service Message, Broadcast
Message or the PCM was replaced and requires calibration, no screen may appear. This is not a
concern and will not prevent programming updates or being paid for programming updates.
5. Follow all hook-up instructions and continue as prompted to the calibration screen. Typically, a
list of calibration numbers will appear. Answer as appropriate for the vehicle and select "Continue."
SBDS will then validate the information entered against the information read in the PCM, and any
mismatch of software or hardware will be displayed for technician action.
6. Insert the proper calibration or the latest level CD-ROM when prompted and follow the
instructions as displayed by SBDS. Do not crank the engine. SBDS will update the engine
calibration to the latest level calibration for the selected calibration.
7. After programming is complete, SBDS will display a representation of the Authorized
Modification Decal with the Engineering Part Number for the PCM installed. It is important that the
label be completed and attached to the vehicle. S8DS will also automatically print a copy of the
vehicle log for filing with the Repair Order.
8. Selecting "Continue" will call for a KOEO self test. Any hard faults present after performing self
test were not caused by reprogramming. The calibration has now been validated and the PCM is
operating properly. Unless directed by other Service Procedures, the vehicle can be released to

Powertrain Control Module: Description and Operation
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) retrieves inputs from various engine sensors to compute the
required fuel flow rate necessary to maintain a proper air/fuel ratio throughout the entire engine
operational range.
The PCM also determines and compensates the vehicle's uniqueness. The system will also
compensate for changes in altitude (i.e., from sea level to mountains).
The 104-pin EEC-V system PCM outputs a command to the Injector Driver Module (IDM) which in

The H025 Monitor is an on-board strategy designed to monitor the HO2S sensors for a malfunction
or deterioration that can affect emissions. Under specific conditions, the fuel control or upstream
HO2S sensors (Figures 1 and 3) are checked for proper output voltage and response rate (the time
it takes to switch from lean to rich or rich to lean). Downstream HO2S sensors (Figures 1 and 3)
used for Catalyst Monitor are also monitored for proper output voltage. Input is required from the
ECT or CHT, IAT, MAF, TP and CKP sensors to activate the H025 Monitor. The Fuel System
Monitor and Misfire Detection Monitor must also have completed successfully before the HO2S
Monitor is enabled.
The HO2S sensor senses the oxygen content in the exhaust flow and outputs a voltage between
zero and 1.0 volt. Lean of stoichiometric (air/fuel ratio of approximately 14.7:1 for gasoline
engines), the HO2S will generate a voltage between zero and 0.45 volt. Rich of stoichiometric, the
HO2S will generate a voltage between 0.45 and 1.0 volt.
^ The HO2S Monitor evaluates both the upstream (Fuel Control) and downstream (Catalyst
Monitor) HO2S for proper function.
^ Once the HO2S Monitor is enabled, the upstream H025 signal voltage amplitude and response
frequency are checked. Excessive voltage is determined by comparing the HO2S signal voltage to
a maximum calibratable threshold voltage.
^ A fixed frequency closed loop fuel control routine is executed and the upstream HO2S voltage
amplitude and output response frequency are observed. A sample of the upstream HO2S signal is
evaluated to determine if the sensor is capable of switching or has a slow response rate.
^ An HO2S heater circuit fault is determined by turning the heater on and off and looking for a
corresponding change in the OSM and by measuring the current going through the heater circuit.
^ The MIL is activated after a fault is detected on two consecutive OBD II drive cycles.
The HO2S Monitor DTCs can be categorized as follows:
^ HO2S signal circuit malfunction - P0131, P0136, P0151, P0156
^ HO2S slow response rate - P0133, P0153
^ HO2S heater circuit malfunction - P0135, P0141, P0155, P0161
^ Downstream HO2S not running in on-demand self test - P1127
^ Swapped H025 connectors - P1128 and P1129
^ H025 lack of switching - P1130, P1131, P1132, P1150, P1151, P1152
^ HO2S lack of switching (sensor indicates lean) - P1137
^ H025 lack of switching (sensor indicates rich) - P1138

C2.) Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Monitor - Diagnostic Trouble Codes
D. Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
D1.) Catalyst Efficiency Monitor - Information
The Federal Test Procedure Catalyst Monitor monitors for deterioration in the catalyst system and
illuminates the MIL when tailpipe emissions exceed the appropriate HC emission thresholds. The
Catalyst Monitor is enabled after the upstream and downstream HO2S sensors have been tested
and verified to be functional. This monitor relies on the front and rear heated oxygen sensors
(HO2S) to infer catalyst efficiency based upon oxygen storage capacity. Under normal closed loop
fuel conditions, high efficiency catalysts have oxygen storage which makes the switching frequency
of the rear HO2S quite slow compared with the frequency of the front HO2S. As catalyst efficiency
deteriorates, its ability to store oxygen declines, and the rear HO2S begins to switch more rapidly,
approaching the frequency of the front sensor. In general, as catalyst efficiency decreases, the
switch ratio increases from a switch ratio of 0 for a low mileage catalyst to a switch ratio of 0.8 or
0.9 for a low efficiency catalyst.
Some vehicles will monitor substantially less than the entire catalyst volume in order to meet the
stringent catalyst monitoring malfunction thresholds. In many cases, only the front, light-off catalyst
is monitored.
Front and rear HO2S switches are counted under specified closed loop fuel conditions. After the
required number of front switches are obtained, a rear-to-front HO2S switch ratio is calculated. The
switch ratio is compared against a threshold value. If the switch ratio is greater than the calibrated
maximum limit, the catalyst has failed. The test entry conditions for the Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
are as follows: ECT or CHT (warmed engine), IAT (not at extreme ambient temperatures), MAF
(greater than minimum engine load), VSS (within vehicle speed window) and TP (at part throttle)
are required.
^ Because an exponentially weighted moving average is used for malfunction determination, up to
six OBD II drive cycles may be required to illuminate the MIL.
NOTE
THE CATALYST MONITOR ON SOME EARLY OBD II VEHICLES (SOME 1994-1996 VEHICLES)
WAS REFERRED TO AS THE "STEADY-STATE CATALYST MONITOR" AS OPPOSED TO THE
"FTP CATALYST MONITOR" (DESCRIBED ABOVE) THAT IS MOST COMMON FOR VEHICLES
BUILT AFTER 1996. BELOW IS A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE STEADY-STATE CATALYST
MONITOR:
The Steady-State Catalyst Monitor performs a 20 second test during steady state rpm and load
conditions. The Monitor transfers closed loop fuel control from the front to the rear 02 sensors. The
Monitor then observes the switching frequency and compares it to a threshold frequency stored in
an rpm/load table. A frequency higher than the maximum calibrated threshold indicates a
malfunction.
The Catalyst Monitor DTCs can be categorized as follows:

E. Fuel System Monitor
E1.) Fuel System Monitor - Information
The Fuel System Monitor is an on-board strategy designed to monitor the fuel trim system. The fuel
control system uses fuel trim tables stored in the PCM's KAM to compensate for variability in fuel
system components due to normal wear and aging. Fuel trim tables are based on vehicle speed
and engine load. During closed loop vehicle operation, the fuel trim strategy learns the corrections
needed to correct a "biased" rich or lean fuel system. The correction is stored in the fuel trim tables.
The fuel trim has two means of adapting; a LONGFT and a SHRTFT. LONGFT relies on the fuel
trim tables and SHRTFT refers to the desired air/fuel ratio parameter "LAMBSE". LAMBSE is
calculated by the PCM from HO2S inputs and helps maintain a 14.7:1 air/fuel ratio during closed
loop operation. SHRTFT and LONGFT work together. If the HO2S indicates the engine is running
rich, the PCM will correct the rich condition by moving SHRTFT in the negative range (less fuel to
correct for a rich combustion). If after a certain amount of time SHRTFT is still compensating for a
rich condition, the PCM "learns" this and moves LONGFT into the negative range to compensate
and allows SHRTFT to return to a value near 0%. Input from the ECT or CHT, IAT, and MAF
sensors is required to activate the fuel trim system, which in turn activates the Fuel System
Monitor. Once activated, the Fuel System Monitor looks for the fuel trim tables to reach the
adaptive clip (adaptive limit) and LAMBSE to exceed a calibrated limit. The Fuel System Monitor
will store the appropriate DTC when a fault is detected as described below.
^ The H025 detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust and provides the PCM with feedback
indicating a rich or lean condition.
^ A correction factor is added to the fuel injector pulsewidth calculation according to the Long and
Short Term Fuel Trims as needed to compensate for variations in the fuel system.
^ When deviation in the parameter LAMBSE increases, air/fuel control suffers and emissions
increase. When LAMBSE exceeds a calibrated limit and the fuel trim table has clipped (reached
adaptive limit), the Fuel System Monitor sets a DTC.
^ The MIL is activated after a fault is detected on two consecutive OBD II drive cycles.
The Fuel System Monitor DTCs can be categorized as follows:
^ Fuel Delivery Error - P0148

E2.) Fuel System Monitor - Diagnostic Trouble Codes
F. Diagnostic Service Tips
1. Always reset KAM after performing a repair:
After performing a repair on a vehicle with the MIL on, and/or DTCs present, always clear KAM.
When a malfunction is present, the PCM adapts (attempts to correct) for this condition. Once the
vehicle has been repaired, if the KAM is not reset, the PCM will once again have to adapt back to
the normal operating conditions. Clearing the KAM will erase what the PCM has learned, so the
PCM will be able to start with "base tables".
2. Always view and record Freeze Frame Data:
Freeze Frame Data can be a valuable asset in duplicating and diagnosing concerns. This data (a
snapshot of certain PID values, recorded at the time the MIL was activated) indicates the manner in
which the vehicle was being driven at the time the fault occurred. This can be especially useful on
intermittent concerns. Freeze Frame Data, in some cases, can also help to isolate possible areas
of concern, as well as ruling out others. Always record (write down) the Freeze Frame Data.
3. Multiple DTCs (with the same meaning):
When multiple (paired) DTCs with the same meaning are set for multiple sensors, it is unlikely that
replacing both HO2S sensors will resolve the concern. In most cases, there will be another issue
that is causing the codes. Examples of multiple (paired) DTCs:
(P0135/P0155), (P0141/P0161), (P1131/P1151), (P1132/P1152).
To further clarify this, see the more detailed scenario as follows:
A vehicle comes in with a MIL On concern. KOEO self test reveals DTCs P0135 and P0155
(HTR-11 and HTR-21 circuit malfunction), with no other DTCs present. The most likely cause of
these DTCs would be something in the heater power circuit that both of these HO2S sensors have
in common (Example: open or shorted heater circuit wiring or splice). It is highly unlikely that
multiple sensors would fail at the same time. When multiple DTCs of this nature are encountered,
reviewing the appropriate wiring diagram(s) can help to isolate possible areas of concern. When
reviewing the wiring diagram, look for things that the affected sensors have in common.

In this example, the most likely cause of DTCs P0135 and P0155 (with no other DTCs present)
would be a concern with Splice "B" (refer to Figure 2).
NOTE
THIS ILLUSTRATION IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE. SPLICE NAMES "A", "B", AND "C" ARE USED IN

THIS FIGURE IS NOT INTENDED TO SHOW ALL SPLICES/CONNECTIONS ON ALL
VEHICLES. OTHER EEC CIRCUITS, NOT SHOWN, MAY ALSO BE SPLICED IN WITH THE
CIRCUITS SHOWN.

[Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability
Diagnosis > Page 3205
4. View H025 PID data carefully: NGS PIDs for HO2S sensors that do not exist (with certain
exhaust configurations) will show a value of "0" volts (refer to Figures 3 and 4).
In this example, the vehicle (equipped with a 4-cylinder engine) has one upstream and one
downstream HO2S. Notice that the NGS (scan tool) display shows two upstream and two
downstream HO2S PIDs, and that the "unused" HO2S sensor PIDs display "0" volts.
5. H025 sensors measure oxygen in the exhaust, not fuel: The exhaust gas condition reported by
the HO2S sensor is based on the presence of oxygen in the exhaust, not the presence of unburned
fuel.
Example: In the event of an ignition-related misfire, you might expect a rich HO2S reading, due to
the amount of unburned fuel in the exhaust system. However, there is also a large amount of
unburned oxygen, since no combustion took place in the misfiring cylinder. Since the H025 senses
oxygen only, it would report a lean condition in this particular situation.
F2.) Tips Related to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H025) Monitor
1. OBD II Response Rate Monitor: The OBD II
Response Rate Monitor (P0133/P0153) is only run at vehicle speeds between approximately 50-95
km/h (30-60 mph), during steady-state conditions. The test lasts approximately 6 seconds.
Therefore, P0133/P0153 cannot be diagnosed at idle in the repair bay.
2. Do not compare H025 switch rate - Bank-to-Bank or vehicle-to-vehicle: Different H025 switch
rates, from Bank-to-Bank, are considered normal. The H025 switch rate, from one Bank to the
other, should not be compared as a gauge of the H025's ability to switch/react. The PCM is
continuously adjusting spark and fuel in reaction to engine operating conditions (rpm, load, air flow,
throttle angle, etc.). The PCM is also continuously adapting to certain conditions (customer driving
habits, engine and component wear, etc.).
F3.) Tips Related to Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
1. Determining catalyst efficiency/switch ratio:
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <-->
[Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability
Diagnosis > Page 3206
The upstream H025 sensors will have a high switch frequency, due to normal closed loop fuel
control. With an efficient catalyst, the downstream H025 will have a low switch frequency. The
switch ratio is determined by dividing the number of downstream switches by the number of
upstream switches over a given period of time. As the catalyst ages (or if the catalyst is damaged
or contaminated), the downstream switches will increase. When the downstream switch rate
crosses a threshold value (approximately 0.75 switch ratio), a code is stored (P0420 and/or P0430)
and the MIL illuminates (refer to Figures 5 and 6).
NOTE
IF A CATALYST IS DETERMINED TO HAVE LOW EFFICIENCY AND REQUIRES
REPLACEMENT, REPLACEMENT OF THE DOWNSTREAM H025 SENSORS WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
2. Use care in handling H025 sensors: In the event of catalyst replacement, use care in the
handling of H025 sensors to prevent damage or contamination. Do not use power tools in the
removal or installation of sensors. Use a 22mm wrench or crow foot to remove and install H025
sensors; do not use slotted sockets, as these sockets may damage wires. H025 sensors should be
torqued to 41 +/- 5 N.m (30 +/- 4 lb-ft).
3. Do not replace downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22) for DTCs P0420 and/or P0430:
When diagnosing a vehicle with a customer concern of MIL On and DTCs P0420/P0430 in
continuous memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22). Damaged
or malfunctioning downstream HO2S sensors will not cause these DTCs to be set. Always verify
the vehicle concern, then perform the pinpoint diagnostics in the appropriate PC/ED Service
Manual.

F4.) Tips Related to the Fuel System Monitor
1. HO2S sensors are not likely to be the cause of adaptive DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175:
Most warranty-returned HO2S sensors (replaced for these DTCs) are found to function normally.
Additional related DTCs will normally be present if there is a concern with the HO2S sensors. Do
not replace an HO2S sensor unless verified through pinpoint diagnostic tests found in the PC/ED
Service Manual.
2. DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, and P0175 are not related to downstream H028 sensors: When
diagnosing a vehicle with a MIL On and DTC(s) P0171, P0172, P0174, and/or P0175 in continuous
memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors. These DTCs have no connection to the
downstream HO2S sensor function nor its diagnosis for faults. Always verify the vehicle concern,
then perform the pinpoint diagnostics from the appropriate PC/ED Service Manual.
3. Diagnosing lean conditions and lean DTCs P0171, P0174: Freeze Frame Data can often help to
identify the type of lean condition, even if the fault is intermittent, by indicating how the vehicle was
being driven when the fault occurred. Diagnosis of lean conditions and lean adaptive DTCs can be
difficult, especially if the concern is intermittent. Verifying the concern is extremely important. There
are different types of lean conditions. The ability to identify the type of lean condition causing the
concern can be crucial to a correct diagnosis. When DTCs P0171 and P0174 are both present,
there is a strong likelihood of another concern being present:
a. Vacuum leaks/unmetered air: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the
condition. This condition is typically caused by air entering the engine through an abnormal source
(opening), or due to a MAF malfunction. In this situation, the volume of air entering the engine is
actually greater than what the MAF is indicating to the PCM. Vacuum leaks will normally be most
apparent when high manifold vacuum is present, during idle or light throttle. If Freeze Frame Data
indicates that the fault occurred at idle, a check for vacuum leaks/unmetered air when the engine is
cold might be the best starting point.
Examples: Loose, leaking or disconnected vacuum lines, intake manifold gaskets or 0-rings,
throttle body gaskets, brake booster, air inlet tube, stuck/frozen/aftermarket PCV valve, unseated
engine oil dipstick, MAF reading lower than normal, etc.
b. Insufficient fueling: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of stoichiometry
(14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the condition. This
condition is typically caused by a fuel delivery system concern that restricts or limits the amount of
fuel being delivered to the engine. This condition will normally be most apparent when the engine is
under a heavy load, when a higher volume of fuel is required. If Freeze Frame Data indicates that
the fault occurred under a heavy load, a check of the fuel delivery system (checking fuel pressure
with engine under a load) might be the best starting point.
Examples: Low fuel pressure (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel leaks, restricted fuel supply lines), fuel
injector concerns, etc.
c. Exhaust system leaks: In this type of condition, the engine may actually be running near
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio), but the exhaust gas mixture will be lean. This condition is
caused by oxygen-rich air entering the exhaust system through an external source. This condition
will cause the exhaust gas mixture to be lean, even though the actual combustion in the engine
may not be.
Examples: Exhaust system leaks upstream or near HO2S, malfunctioning Secondary Air Injection
system
d. MAF concerns: If a MAF concern is suspected, see TSB 98-23-10.
4. Checking fuel pressure: Check fuel pressure with engine under a load when diagnosing a lean
concern. A partially plugged fuel filter can be difficult to detect and can be easily overlooked if fuel
pressure is only checked at idle. The same is true for other types of fuel supply concerns (e.g., bent
or kinked lines, degraded fuel pump).
At idle, an engine requires only a small volume of fuel. Due to the fact that there is a small volume
of fuel needed at idle, a restriction in the fuel supply line in many cases will not cause the fuel
pressure to be low. When the vehicle is under a load, the engine requires much more fuel than at
idle. Under a load, a restriction in the fuel supply line will prevent the high rate of fuel flow that is
needed to maintain the correct fuel pressure.

ISSUE The Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has mandated that all aftermarket
service centers shall be able to either reprogram Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) or obtain
reasonably priced, timely PCM programming services at dealerships. Ford has released an
out-of-vehicle EEC V reprogramming cable to support this requirement. Also, PCMs are
reprogrammable to update calibration levels or to reprogram a common hardware type to a new
calibration in order to fill a service need without ordering a new PCM.

ACTION Refer to the Application Chart in this article to use the new 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable to
handle all necessary out-of-vehicle programming of EEC V modules in the vehicles listed. This may
allow added flexibility in servicing aftermarket and fleet accounts as well as provide the ability to
have modules updated to new calibrations through the Parts Department instead of ordering new
parts.
Currently, EEC V modules must be installed in a vehicle to reprogram a new calibration in the
module. An aftermarket service center may bring a module to a dealership for a calibration update
or may request an updated calibration be installed to a new service part. The EPA regulations
require "reasonably priced, timely service" be provided by the dealer. The new 15- to 104-Pin Flash
Cable works with the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester to provide the capability to reprogram a
calibration on a PCM out of the vehicle.
The 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable connects between the NGS Tester and PCM 104-pin connector.
The proper calibration must be downloaded to the Data Transfer Card through Service Bay
Technical System (SBTS). Once the card is inserted into the NGS Tester and the cable is
connected, follow the calibration download instructions displayed on the NGS screen.
The 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable (007-00587) can be ordered from Rotunda by calling
1-800-ROTUNDA.

ISSUE: Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) no longer need to be replaced when servicing
driveability concerns. The only time a PCM needs replacing is when it can no longer be
reprogrammed and/or is damaged. In all other cases, the PCM must be reprogrammed and NOT
REPLACED.
ACTION: Use the following Service Procedure to properly reprogram a PCM.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
PCM REPROGRAMMING USING SBDS
1. At the Main menu, select Powertrain and enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Select
"Continue."
2. From the Powertrain menu, select Electronic Engine category.
3. Scroll through the "Tool List" to PCM Reprogramming and select "Continue."
4. Any TSBs or Recalls for the entered vehicle will be displayed. There is up to a 6 week delay for
TSB/Recall information updates on SBDS. New TSBs/Recalls may not appear or only the TSB
number will be displayed even though the new calibration is on the current calibration CD-ROM.
Also, if the vehicle calibration is being updated because of a Special Service Message, Broadcast
Message or the PCM was replaced and requires calibration, no screen may appear. This is not a
concern and will not prevent programming updates or being paid for programming updates.
5. Follow all hook-up instructions and continue as prompted to the calibration screen. Typically, a
list of calibration numbers will appear. Answer as appropriate for the vehicle and select "Continue."
SBDS will then validate the information entered against the information read in the PCM, and any
mismatch of software or hardware will be displayed for technician action.
6. Insert the proper calibration or the latest level CD-ROM when prompted and follow the
instructions as displayed by SBDS. Do not crank the engine. SBDS will update the engine
calibration to the latest level calibration for the selected calibration.
7. After programming is complete, SBDS will display a representation of the Authorized
Modification Decal with the Engineering Part Number for the PCM installed. It is important that the
label be completed and attached to the vehicle. S8DS will also automatically print a copy of the
vehicle log for filing with the Repair Order.
8. Selecting "Continue" will call for a KOEO self test. Any hard faults present after performing self
test were not caused by reprogramming. The calibration has now been validated and the PCM is
operating properly. Unless directed by other Service Procedures, the vehicle can be released to

Powertrain Control Module: Description and Operation
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) retrieves inputs from various engine sensors to compute the
required fuel flow rate necessary to maintain a proper air/fuel ratio throughout the entire engine
operational range.
The PCM also determines and compensates the vehicle's uniqueness. The system will also
compensate for changes in altitude (i.e., from sea level to mountains).
The 104-pin EEC-V system PCM outputs a command to the Injector Driver Module (IDM) which in
turn energizes the fuel injector with up to 115V DC. The fuel injector is controlled by the in IDM to
meter the appropriate quantity of fuel at the correct time and duration.

Injector Driver Module: Description and Operation
The Injector Driver Module (IDM) supplies 115V DC to all of the fuel injectors.
The IDM receives signals from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for Cylinder Identification
(CID) and Fuel Delivery Command Signal (FDCS). The PCM controls when the timing of the
injectors should start and how long the injector is open.
The IDM controls the injector firing sequence through output drivers. The IDM has an output driver
for each injector: one low side driver for each injector and one high side driver for each bank of
injectors. The injector is fired when the output driver closes the circuit to ground, completing the
circuit ground path.

FORD: 1994-1997 F SUPER DUTY, F-250, F-350 1995-1997 E-350
Article 97-6-18 is being republished with updates as part of a consolidated 7.3L diagnostic aid
booklet.
ISSUE
The 7.3L Direct Injection Turbo (DIT) engines are built with 0.1016-0.8128 mm (0.0040-0.032")
clearance between the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and the trigger wheel. At approximately
1.016 mm (0.040") clearance, the sensor will fail to synchronize and result in a no run condition.
Improper CMP clearance can be seen in the following six (6) symptoms:
^ 1) Fault codes - incorrect synchronization count
^ 2) Low RPM - fails to achieve rated speed for 2-3 minutes after extended cold soak
^ 3) No start - after extended cold soak
^ 4) Runs poorly cold - engine runs OK warm
^ 5) Stall on deceleration - more pronounced cold
^ 6) Starts, runs cold, dies warm, will not restart until cool
ACTION
Install a shim between the CMP sensor and the front engine cover. The shim will allow the correct
clearance which should reduce the possibility of concerns. Refer to the following Service Procedure
for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Perform normal DIT Powerstroke diagnostics. If no other problems are found, proceed with this
TSB article.
2. Remove CMP sensor and inspect for signs of contact with the pulse wheel. Make sure the holes
on the end are filled with epoxy and inspect the connector mating cavity for signs of oil
contamination. If there are any signs of contact, contamination, or the holes are not filled, replace
the CMP Sensor (F6TZ-12K073-A).
3. Repair symptoms 1) - 5) as follows: install a 0.254 mm (0.010") shim under the CMP sensor. If
symptoms persist, increase the shim thickness to 0.508 mm (0.020") Shim (F7TZ-1 2J072-AA).
NOTE
SOME ENGINES BETWEEN SERIAL NUMBERS 388840 AND 410010 HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH
EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF TRIGGER WHEEL RUNOUT. RUNOUT OF THE TRIGGER WHEEL
GREATER THAN 0.508 mm (0.020") MIGHT NOT BE RESOLVED WITH A SHIM. THE
ADDITIONAL CLEARANCE CAN PUT TOTAL CLEARANCE ABOVE 1.016 mm (0.040") AND
CAUSE FAILURE TO SYNCHRONIZE.
4. If symptom 6) occurs and trigger wheel runout is greater than 0.508 mm (0.020"), try a 0.254 mm
(0.010") shim. If the concern is unresolved, replace the Camshaft Assembly (F4TZ-6250-A). Refer
to the appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 03-01C, for camshaft assembly
replacement procedure.

PURPOSE
The Cylinder Identification (CID) circuit output provides information to the Injector Driver Module
(IDM) on the position of each cylinder's TDC position. so that current can be applied to the correct
injector at the proper time.
OPERATION
The CID is one of two digital control signals used by the IDM. The CID is produced in the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and sent to the IDM via the CID circuit. The CID provides
synchronization information to the engine's first and fifth injector in the firing order. The IDM then
uses this information to properly control injector operation.

Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3341
The H025 Monitor is an on-board strategy designed to monitor the HO2S sensors for a malfunction
or deterioration that can affect emissions. Under specific conditions, the fuel control or upstream
HO2S sensors (Figures 1 and 3) are checked for proper output voltage and response rate (the time
it takes to switch from lean to rich or rich to lean). Downstream HO2S sensors (Figures 1 and 3)
used for Catalyst Monitor are also monitored for proper output voltage. Input is required from the
ECT or CHT, IAT, MAF, TP and CKP sensors to activate the H025 Monitor. The Fuel System
Monitor and Misfire Detection Monitor must also have completed successfully before the HO2S
Monitor is enabled.
The HO2S sensor senses the oxygen content in the exhaust flow and outputs a voltage between
zero and 1.0 volt. Lean of stoichiometric (air/fuel ratio of approximately 14.7:1 for gasoline
engines), the HO2S will generate a voltage between zero and 0.45 volt. Rich of stoichiometric, the
HO2S will generate a voltage between 0.45 and 1.0 volt.
^ The HO2S Monitor evaluates both the upstream (Fuel Control) and downstream (Catalyst
Monitor) HO2S for proper function.
^ Once the HO2S Monitor is enabled, the upstream H025 signal voltage amplitude and response
frequency are checked. Excessive voltage is determined by comparing the HO2S signal voltage to
a maximum calibratable threshold voltage.
^ A fixed frequency closed loop fuel control routine is executed and the upstream HO2S voltage
amplitude and output response frequency are observed. A sample of the upstream HO2S signal is
evaluated to determine if the sensor is capable of switching or has a slow response rate.
^ An HO2S heater circuit fault is determined by turning the heater on and off and looking for a
corresponding change in the OSM and by measuring the current going through the heater circuit.
^ The MIL is activated after a fault is detected on two consecutive OBD II drive cycles.
The HO2S Monitor DTCs can be categorized as follows:
^ HO2S signal circuit malfunction - P0131, P0136, P0151, P0156
^ HO2S slow response rate - P0133, P0153
^ HO2S heater circuit malfunction - P0135, P0141, P0155, P0161
^ Downstream HO2S not running in on-demand self test - P1127
^ Swapped H025 connectors - P1128 and P1129
^ H025 lack of switching - P1130, P1131, P1132, P1150, P1151, P1152
^ HO2S lack of switching (sensor indicates lean) - P1137
^ H025 lack of switching (sensor indicates rich) - P1138

C2.) Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Monitor - Diagnostic Trouble Codes
D. Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
D1.) Catalyst Efficiency Monitor - Information
The Federal Test Procedure Catalyst Monitor monitors for deterioration in the catalyst system and
illuminates the MIL when tailpipe emissions exceed the appropriate HC emission thresholds. The
Catalyst Monitor is enabled after the upstream and downstream HO2S sensors have been tested
and verified to be functional. This monitor relies on the front and rear heated oxygen sensors
(HO2S) to infer catalyst efficiency based upon oxygen storage capacity. Under normal closed loop
fuel conditions, high efficiency catalysts have oxygen storage which makes the switching frequency
of the rear HO2S quite slow compared with the frequency of the front HO2S. As catalyst efficiency
deteriorates, its ability to store oxygen declines, and the rear HO2S begins to switch more rapidly,
approaching the frequency of the front sensor. In general, as catalyst efficiency decreases, the
switch ratio increases from a switch ratio of 0 for a low mileage catalyst to a switch ratio of 0.8 or
0.9 for a low efficiency catalyst.
Some vehicles will monitor substantially less than the entire catalyst volume in order to meet the
stringent catalyst monitoring malfunction thresholds. In many cases, only the front, light-off catalyst
is monitored.
Front and rear HO2S switches are counted under specified closed loop fuel conditions. After the
required number of front switches are obtained, a rear-to-front HO2S switch ratio is calculated. The
switch ratio is compared against a threshold value. If the switch ratio is greater than the calibrated
maximum limit, the catalyst has failed. The test entry conditions for the Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
are as follows: ECT or CHT (warmed engine), IAT (not at extreme ambient temperatures), MAF
(greater than minimum engine load), VSS (within vehicle speed window) and TP (at part throttle)
are required.
^ Because an exponentially weighted moving average is used for malfunction determination, up to
six OBD II drive cycles may be required to illuminate the MIL.
NOTE
THE CATALYST MONITOR ON SOME EARLY OBD II VEHICLES (SOME 1994-1996 VEHICLES)
WAS REFERRED TO AS THE "STEADY-STATE CATALYST MONITOR" AS OPPOSED TO THE
"FTP CATALYST MONITOR" (DESCRIBED ABOVE) THAT IS MOST COMMON FOR VEHICLES
BUILT AFTER 1996. BELOW IS A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE STEADY-STATE CATALYST
MONITOR:
The Steady-State Catalyst Monitor performs a 20 second test during steady state rpm and load
conditions. The Monitor transfers closed loop fuel control from the front to the rear 02 sensors. The
Monitor then observes the switching frequency and compares it to a threshold frequency stored in
an rpm/load table. A frequency higher than the maximum calibrated threshold indicates a
malfunction.
The Catalyst Monitor DTCs can be categorized as follows:

D2.) Catalyst Efficiency Monitor - Diagnostic Trouble Codes
E. Fuel System Monitor
E1.) Fuel System Monitor - Information
The Fuel System Monitor is an on-board strategy designed to monitor the fuel trim system. The fuel
control system uses fuel trim tables stored in the PCM's KAM to compensate for variability in fuel
system components due to normal wear and aging. Fuel trim tables are based on vehicle speed
and engine load. During closed loop vehicle operation, the fuel trim strategy learns the corrections
needed to correct a "biased" rich or lean fuel system. The correction is stored in the fuel trim tables.
The fuel trim has two means of adapting; a LONGFT and a SHRTFT. LONGFT relies on the fuel
trim tables and SHRTFT refers to the desired air/fuel ratio parameter "LAMBSE". LAMBSE is
calculated by the PCM from HO2S inputs and helps maintain a 14.7:1 air/fuel ratio during closed
loop operation. SHRTFT and LONGFT work together. If the HO2S indicates the engine is running
rich, the PCM will correct the rich condition by moving SHRTFT in the negative range (less fuel to
correct for a rich combustion). If after a certain amount of time SHRTFT is still compensating for a
rich condition, the PCM "learns" this and moves LONGFT into the negative range to compensate
and allows SHRTFT to return to a value near 0%. Input from the ECT or CHT, IAT, and MAF
sensors is required to activate the fuel trim system, which in turn activates the Fuel System
Monitor. Once activated, the Fuel System Monitor looks for the fuel trim tables to reach the
adaptive clip (adaptive limit) and LAMBSE to exceed a calibrated limit. The Fuel System Monitor
will store the appropriate DTC when a fault is detected as described below.
^ The H025 detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust and provides the PCM with feedback
indicating a rich or lean condition.
^ A correction factor is added to the fuel injector pulsewidth calculation according to the Long and
Short Term Fuel Trims as needed to compensate for variations in the fuel system.
^ When deviation in the parameter LAMBSE increases, air/fuel control suffers and emissions
increase. When LAMBSE exceeds a calibrated limit and the fuel trim table has clipped (reached
adaptive limit), the Fuel System Monitor sets a DTC.
^ The MIL is activated after a fault is detected on two consecutive OBD II drive cycles.
The Fuel System Monitor DTCs can be categorized as follows:
^ Fuel Delivery Error - P0148

E2.) Fuel System Monitor - Diagnostic Trouble Codes
F. Diagnostic Service Tips
1. Always reset KAM after performing a repair:
After performing a repair on a vehicle with the MIL on, and/or DTCs present, always clear KAM.
When a malfunction is present, the PCM adapts (attempts to correct) for this condition. Once the
vehicle has been repaired, if the KAM is not reset, the PCM will once again have to adapt back to
the normal operating conditions. Clearing the KAM will erase what the PCM has learned, so the
PCM will be able to start with "base tables".
2. Always view and record Freeze Frame Data:
Freeze Frame Data can be a valuable asset in duplicating and diagnosing concerns. This data (a
snapshot of certain PID values, recorded at the time the MIL was activated) indicates the manner in
which the vehicle was being driven at the time the fault occurred. This can be especially useful on
intermittent concerns. Freeze Frame Data, in some cases, can also help to isolate possible areas
of concern, as well as ruling out others. Always record (write down) the Freeze Frame Data.
3. Multiple DTCs (with the same meaning):
When multiple (paired) DTCs with the same meaning are set for multiple sensors, it is unlikely that
replacing both HO2S sensors will resolve the concern. In most cases, there will be another issue
that is causing the codes. Examples of multiple (paired) DTCs:
(P0135/P0155), (P0141/P0161), (P1131/P1151), (P1132/P1152).
To further clarify this, see the more detailed scenario as follows:
A vehicle comes in with a MIL On concern. KOEO self test reveals DTCs P0135 and P0155
(HTR-11 and HTR-21 circuit malfunction), with no other DTCs present. The most likely cause of
these DTCs would be something in the heater power circuit that both of these HO2S sensors have
in common (Example: open or shorted heater circuit wiring or splice). It is highly unlikely that
multiple sensors would fail at the same time. When multiple DTCs of this nature are encountered,
reviewing the appropriate wiring diagram(s) can help to isolate possible areas of concern. When
reviewing the wiring diagram, look for things that the affected sensors have in common.

Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3350
In this example, the most likely cause of DTCs P0135 and P0155 (with no other DTCs present)
would be a concern with Splice "B" (refer to Figure 2).
NOTE

VEHICLES. OTHER EEC CIRCUITS, NOT SHOWN, MAY ALSO BE SPLICED IN WITH THE
CIRCUITS SHOWN.

Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3351
4. View H025 PID data carefully: NGS PIDs for HO2S sensors that do not exist (with certain
exhaust configurations) will show a value of "0" volts (refer to Figures 3 and 4).
In this example, the vehicle (equipped with a 4-cylinder engine) has one upstream and one
downstream HO2S. Notice that the NGS (scan tool) display shows two upstream and two
downstream HO2S PIDs, and that the "unused" HO2S sensor PIDs display "0" volts.
5. H025 sensors measure oxygen in the exhaust, not fuel: The exhaust gas condition reported by
the HO2S sensor is based on the presence of oxygen in the exhaust, not the presence of unburned
fuel.
Example: In the event of an ignition-related misfire, you might expect a rich HO2S reading, due to
the amount of unburned fuel in the exhaust system. However, there is also a large amount of
unburned oxygen, since no combustion took place in the misfiring cylinder. Since the H025 senses
oxygen only, it would report a lean condition in this particular situation.
F2.) Tips Related to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H025) Monitor
1. OBD II Response Rate Monitor: The OBD II
Response Rate Monitor (P0133/P0153) is only run at vehicle speeds between approximately 50-95
km/h (30-60 mph), during steady-state conditions. The test lasts approximately 6 seconds.
Therefore, P0133/P0153 cannot be diagnosed at idle in the repair bay.
2. Do not compare H025 switch rate - Bank-to-Bank or vehicle-to-vehicle: Different H025 switch
rates, from Bank-to-Bank, are considered normal. The H025 switch rate, from one Bank to the
other, should not be compared as a gauge of the H025's ability to switch/react. The PCM is
continuously adjusting spark and fuel in reaction to engine operating conditions (rpm, load, air flow,
throttle angle, etc.). The PCM is also continuously adapting to certain conditions (customer driving
habits, engine and component wear, etc.).
F3.) Tips Related to Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
1. Determining catalyst efficiency/switch ratio:
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3352
The upstream H025 sensors will have a high switch frequency, due to normal closed loop fuel
control. With an efficient catalyst, the downstream H025 will have a low switch frequency. The
switch ratio is determined by dividing the number of downstream switches by the number of
upstream switches over a given period of time. As the catalyst ages (or if the catalyst is damaged
or contaminated), the downstream switches will increase. When the downstream switch rate
crosses a threshold value (approximately 0.75 switch ratio), a code is stored (P0420 and/or P0430)
and the MIL illuminates (refer to Figures 5 and 6).
NOTE
IF A CATALYST IS DETERMINED TO HAVE LOW EFFICIENCY AND REQUIRES
REPLACEMENT, REPLACEMENT OF THE DOWNSTREAM H025 SENSORS WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
2. Use care in handling H025 sensors: In the event of catalyst replacement, use care in the
handling of H025 sensors to prevent damage or contamination. Do not use power tools in the
removal or installation of sensors. Use a 22mm wrench or crow foot to remove and install H025
sensors; do not use slotted sockets, as these sockets may damage wires. H025 sensors should be
torqued to 41 +/- 5 N.m (30 +/- 4 lb-ft).
3. Do not replace downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22) for DTCs P0420 and/or P0430:
When diagnosing a vehicle with a customer concern of MIL On and DTCs P0420/P0430 in
continuous memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22). Damaged
or malfunctioning downstream HO2S sensors will not cause these DTCs to be set. Always verify
the vehicle concern, then perform the pinpoint diagnostics in the appropriate PC/ED Service
Manual.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3353
F4.) Tips Related to the Fuel System Monitor
1. HO2S sensors are not likely to be the cause of adaptive DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175:
Most warranty-returned HO2S sensors (replaced for these DTCs) are found to function normally.
Additional related DTCs will normally be present if there is a concern with the HO2S sensors. Do
not replace an HO2S sensor unless verified through pinpoint diagnostic tests found in the PC/ED
Service Manual.
2. DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, and P0175 are not related to downstream H028 sensors: When
diagnosing a vehicle with a MIL On and DTC(s) P0171, P0172, P0174, and/or P0175 in continuous
memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors. These DTCs have no connection to the
downstream HO2S sensor function nor its diagnosis for faults. Always verify the vehicle concern,
then perform the pinpoint diagnostics from the appropriate PC/ED Service Manual.
3. Diagnosing lean conditions and lean DTCs P0171, P0174: Freeze Frame Data can often help to
identify the type of lean condition, even if the fault is intermittent, by indicating how the vehicle was
being driven when the fault occurred. Diagnosis of lean conditions and lean adaptive DTCs can be
difficult, especially if the concern is intermittent. Verifying the concern is extremely important. There
are different types of lean conditions. The ability to identify the type of lean condition causing the
concern can be crucial to a correct diagnosis. When DTCs P0171 and P0174 are both present,
there is a strong likelihood of another concern being present:
a. Vacuum leaks/unmetered air: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the
condition. This condition is typically caused by air entering the engine through an abnormal source
(opening), or due to a MAF malfunction. In this situation, the volume of air entering the engine is
actually greater than what the MAF is indicating to the PCM. Vacuum leaks will normally be most
apparent when high manifold vacuum is present, during idle or light throttle. If Freeze Frame Data
indicates that the fault occurred at idle, a check for vacuum leaks/unmetered air when the engine is
cold might be the best starting point.
Examples: Loose, leaking or disconnected vacuum lines, intake manifold gaskets or 0-rings,
throttle body gaskets, brake booster, air inlet tube, stuck/frozen/aftermarket PCV valve, unseated
engine oil dipstick, MAF reading lower than normal, etc.
b. Insufficient fueling: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of stoichiometry
(14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the condition. This
condition is typically caused by a fuel delivery system concern that restricts or limits the amount of
fuel being delivered to the engine. This condition will normally be most apparent when the engine is
under a heavy load, when a higher volume of fuel is required. If Freeze Frame Data indicates that
the fault occurred under a heavy load, a check of the fuel delivery system (checking fuel pressure
with engine under a load) might be the best starting point.
Examples: Low fuel pressure (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel leaks, restricted fuel supply lines), fuel
injector concerns, etc.
c. Exhaust system leaks: In this type of condition, the engine may actually be running near
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio), but the exhaust gas mixture will be lean. This condition is
caused by oxygen-rich air entering the exhaust system through an external source. This condition
will cause the exhaust gas mixture to be lean, even though the actual combustion in the engine
may not be.
Examples: Exhaust system leaks upstream or near HO2S, malfunctioning Secondary Air Injection
system
d. MAF concerns: If a MAF concern is suspected, see TSB 98-23-10.
4. Checking fuel pressure: Check fuel pressure with engine under a load when diagnosing a lean
concern. A partially plugged fuel filter can be difficult to detect and can be easily overlooked if fuel
pressure is only checked at idle. The same is true for other types of fuel supply concerns (e.g., bent
or kinked lines, degraded fuel pump).
At idle, an engine requires only a small volume of fuel. Due to the fact that there is a small volume
of fuel needed at idle, a restriction in the fuel supply line in many cases will not cause the fuel
pressure to be low. When the vehicle is under a load, the engine requires much more fuel than at
idle. Under a load, a restriction in the fuel supply line will prevent the high rate of fuel flow that is
needed to maintain the correct fuel pressure.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Vehicle Speed Sensor
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is mounted on the front of the rear axle housing above the pinion
flange. The speed sensor ring is located in the rear axle between the ring gear and differential
case. The signal from the sensor is not routed directly to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It is
received by the Programmable Speedometer/Odometer Module (PSOM), which provides the PCM
with a vehicle speed signal.

DESCRIPTION
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is a variable reluctance sensor that generates a waveform with a
frequency that is proportional to vehicle speed. When the vehicle is moving slowly, the sensor
produces a low frequency signal. As the vehicle speed increases, the sensor produces a higher
frequency signal. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses this signal to control fuel injection,
ignition timing and transmission/transaxle shift points. This Pinpoint Test is intended to diagnose
only the following: VSS Harness Circuits

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Air Cleaner Housing > Air Filter
Element > Component Information > Description and Operation
Air Filter Element: Description and Operation
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
Air enters a dry-type engine air cleaner and travels through a pleated, chemically treated, water
resistant paper air cleaner element to remove contaminants before entering the engine induction
system. The 7.3L Direct Injection (DI) turbo diesel engine also uses a pleated-paper upright type
element. Use of other than specific Ford replacement filters may result in significantly shortened
filter life and consequent dirt injection.
AIR CLEANER ELEMENT
Dry-type engine air cleaners are standard on all light truck vehicles.
The 7.3L diesel engine also uses a pleated-paper panel type air cleaner element which features an
expanding foam filter media attached to the sides of the paper. Use of other than specific Ford
replacement air cleaner elements may result in significantly shortened filter life and consequent
engine damage.
The air cleaner elements should be inspected, and/or replaced periodically according to the
maintenance schedule. The air cleaner system has an Intake Air Temperature (IAT) mounted in the
outlet hose to monitor engine inlet air temperature.
Air Restriction Gauge
On diesel engines, replace air cleaner element according to air restriction gauge.

Air Filter Element: Testing and Inspection
Air Restriction Gauge
Air Restriction Gauge
The 7.3L diesel engine air induction system uses an air restriction indicator to indicate when to
change the air cleaner element. The air cleaner element should be replaced when the yellow band
in the indicator reaches the CHANGE FILTER mark. Engine performance and fuel economy are
adversely affected when maximum restriction is reached. After servicing the air cleaner element,
the air restriction indicator can be reset by pushing the button on the end of the indicator. The air
restriction indicator is located on the clean-air side of the engine air cleaner.
Air Inlet Restriction Check
The best method for determining dry-type air cleaner maintenance periods on diesel equipped
vehicles is by periodically checking the air restriction indicator. It is recommended that the air
restriction indicator be used to determine service intervals. A visual inspection of the air cleaner
element will not determine the need for service. Overservicing is not recommended.
Air Cleaner Element
CAUTION: If the air cleaner element, engine air cleaner or air cleaner outlet tube is removed, use a
clean shop rag to prevent contaminants from entering the engine.
1. Replace the air cleaner element according to the maintenance schedule. 2. Check the old air
cleaner element. It could help to detect foreign material on the sealing surface that is causing
leakage. A streak of dust on the
clean air side of the air cleaner element seal is the tell-tale sign. If it exists, be sure the cause is
removed before installing a new air cleaner element.
3. Inspect the new air cleaner element for damage. Always look for possible shipping or handling
damage. Pay particular attention to the seals. Check
for cuts, etc.. Do not use a damaged air cleaner element.
4. Insert the new air cleaner element properly. Cover pressure is not necessary to compress the air
cleaner element seal.

damage. Do not attempt to clean ACL Element. Discard and replace.
1. Disconnect and position out of the way any tubes, hoses, or ducts that will interfere with opening
the engine Air Cleaner (ACL).
CAUTION: Whenever the ACL system is taken apart, use a clean shop rag to prevent
contaminants from entering the air intake system.
2. Remove clamps or screws as necessary to remove ACL cover. 3. Remove the ACL cover. 4.
Remove the ACL Element, being careful to not loosen any dirt or debris.
INSTALLATION
1. Before installing a new ACL Element, check the following items:
- Gasket surfaces should be clean and undamaged.

ISSUE Some vehicles using winter blend fuels may exhibit a stall on start up and a no restart, hard
start condition or a no start condition in unseasonably hot weather (greater than 27°C/80°F). These
concerns may be related to fuel volatility from winter blend fuels during winter-spring and
autumn-winter transitions and may result in a fuel pump vapor lock condition. This condition may
appear to be a fuel pump failure but may be caused by winter blend fuel.
ACTION Refer to the following text for further information.
NOTE
FUEL TANK ADDITIVES WILL NOT RESOLVE THESE CONCERNS BECAUSE VAPOR FORMS
FROM CAVITATION WITHIN THE FUEL PUMP.

FILLING THE TANK TO FULL MAY BE EFFECTIVE. ADVISE CUSTOMER TO USE THE
RECOMMENDED OCTANE GRADE PER OWNER MANUAL AND NOT A HIGHER GRADE.
Explain to the customer that this concern may be due to a low tank level of winter blend fuel
combined with unseasonably warm weather. Advise customer that filling the fuel tank to full may be
effective in resolving this concern. Also, advise customer to use the recommended octane grade
per their Owner Manual and not a higher grade.
BACKGROUND Gasolines are seasonally adjusted, meaning they have higher volatility (vaporize
easier) in the winter and lower volatility in the summer. Government mandates to improve air
quality have resulted in significant changes to gasolines, such as the mandatory use of oxygenates
(ethanol, methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), and others) in the winter or the reduction of Reid
Vapor Pressure (RVP) in the summer. The addition of oxygenates (especially ethanol) increases
volatility while the reduction of RVP reduces volatility.
Gasoline distribution practices often do not allow branded marketers to have much control over
their gasoline's volatility other than RVP. Oxygenate (e.g., ethanol, MTBE) use is more dependent
on local gasoline markets, rather than specific marketers practice. Therefore, it is difficult to
recommend specific brands to avoid volatility related complaints.

Fuel Filler Cap: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
WARNING: Fuel tank may be pressurized. To remove, rotate cap over 1/2 turn counterclockwise. If
cap is venting fuel or a hissing sound is heard, wait until the condition stops before removing the
cap. If these precautions are not followed, fuel may spray and cause personal injury.
The fuel cap is of a threaded screw-on design with a pre-vent feature that allows the tank to vent
for the first three-quarter turn before unthreading. All fuel caps are attached to the vehicle with a
tether using the filler pipe-to-housing screw at the three to four o'clock position. The fuel cap
assembly provides pressure and vacuum relief functions, and should be replaced with the proper
pressure/vacuum relief cap to prevent possible system malfunction.
WARNING: Do not smoke, carry lighted tobacco or an open flame of any type when working on or
near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be
ignited, resulting in possible personal injury.

DESCRIPTION
The spring lock coupling is a fuel line coupling held together by a garter spring inside a circular
cage.
OPERATION
When the coupling is connected, the flared end of the female fitting slips behind the garter spring
inside the cage of the male fitting. The garter spring and cage then prevent the flared end of the
female fitting from pulling out of the cage. As a redundant locking feature, a horseshoe shaped
retaining clip is incorporated to improve the retaining reliability of the spring lock coupling.

Fuel Line Coupler: Service and Repair Removal and Installation
REMOVAL
NOTE: Disconnect all push connect fittings from components (sender, 6-way valve) prior to
component removal. The push connect fittings that connect flexible fuel lines to the fuel tank
sender often cannot be disconnected until the tank is partially lowered, just before removing the
fuel tank completely.
1. Inspect the visible internal portion of fitting for dirt accumulation. If more than a light coating of
dust is present, clean the fitting before
disassembly.
2. Some adhesion between the seals in the fitting and tubing will occur with time. To separate, twist
the fitting on the tube, then push and pull the
fitting until it moves freely on the tube.
3. Remove "hairpin" type clip from fitting by first bending the shipping tab downward so that it will
clear the body. Next (using hands only), spread
the two clip legs about 3.0 mm (1/8 inch) each to disengage the body and push the legs into the
fitting. Complete removal is accomplished by lightly pulling from the triangular end of the clip and
working it clear of the tube and fitting.
4. Grasp the fitting and hose assembly and pull in an axial direction to remove the fitting from the
tube.
CAUTION: Do not use any tools.
5. When fitting is removed from the tube end, inspect the fitting and tube for any internal parts that
may have been dislodged from the fitting. Any
loose internal parts should be immediately installed, using the mating tube to insert the parts.

Fuel Pressure Regulator: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Fuel Pressure Regulator
Fuel pressure in the cylinder head fuel galleries is maintained at 275 kPa (40 psi) by a fuel
pressure regulator. Excess fuel from the cylinder head fuel galleries is routed to the fuel pressure
regulator through special rubber compound hoses from the front of each cylinder head. The hoses
absorb and smooth pressure pulses from the piston stage of the fuel pump.
NOTE: Only certified replacement hoses with the correct part number should be used when
repairing the fuel system. Any other hoses may not provide the pressure and flexibility required for
proper fuel system operation.
CONSTRUCTION
The fuel pressure regulator contains a spring-loaded spool valve which opens to allow excess fuel
to exit the cylinder head fuel galleries.

Injection Control Pressure Sensor (ICP): Description and Operation
Injection Control Pressure Sensor
The Injection Control Pressure (ICP) sensor is a variable capacitance sensor that, when supplied
with a 5-volt reference signal from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), produces a linear analog
voltage signal that indicates oil pressure. The ICP sensor provides a feedback signal to indicate
high pressure oil so that the PCM can command the correct injector timing, pulse width and
injection control pressure for proper fuel delivery at all speed and load conditions.

REMOVAL
NOTE: Fuel supply tubes and the various fuel lines need not be serviced as assemblies. They may
be cut, squared and formed out of rolls of fuel system service tubing and hose material available at
dealerships, or a service part may be purchased. A damaged section of tubing longer than 305 mm
(12 inches) can be cut out of the existing line and replaced by a comparable service tubing section,
spliced into the line by means of connecting hoses and retaining clamps. A damaged section of
tubing shorter than 305 mm (12 inches) can be cut out of the line and replaced by a length of
service hose and two retaining clamps. All replacement hoses must be cut to a length and inside
diameter that will ensure proper clamp retention.

1. Disconnect the damaged line at both ends. 2. Remove the line from the holding clips along the
frame. 3. Remove all damaged hose and tube sections.
INSTALLATION
1. Cut a new section of steel tubing to approximately the same length and inside diameter as the
section to be replaced. Allow extra length for flaring
the ends of the tubing where required. Square the ends of the cut tubing with a file.
2. Ream the inside edges of the cut tubing with the reamer blade on the tube cutter. Be sure metal
chips are removed from inside the tube(s). Double
flare the ends of the cut tubing, as required.
3. Bend the tube section to conform to the contour of the original tube. Cut an ample length of hose
to form a coupling between the ends of the fuel
lines. Connect the hose couplings to the tubing and install the retaining clamps.
4. Position the lines in the clips. Connect the lines and check for leaks.

Rear Fuel Lines
CAUTION: Fuel lines cannot be repaired if damaged, the component must be replaced.
CAUTION: Plastic fuel tube must not be repaired using hose and hose clamps. Push connect
fittings cannot be repaired except to replace the retaining clips. Should the plastic tubes, push
connect fittings or mating tube ends become damaged and leak, approved service parts must be
used to service the fuel lines.
CAUTION: The fuel lines can be damaged by torches, welding sparks, grinding and other
operations which involve heat and high temperatures. If any repair or service operation will be used
which involves heat and high temperatures, locate all fuel system components, especially the
plastic fuel lines to be certain they will not be damaged. It is recommended that the plastic fuel
tubes be removed from the vehicle if a torch or high heat producing equipment is to be used for
service in the following areas:
1. Exhaust or suspension components in proximity to fuel tubes. 2. Underbody frames, rails and
crossmembers (left side). 3. Dash panel, under vehicle or inside the passenger compartment
(lower left side).

Injector Control Pressure Regulator: Description and Operation
INJECTION PRESSURE REGULATOR (IPR)
Injection Pressure Regulator
The Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR) is a variable-position valve that controls injection control
pressure. Battery voltage is supplied to the injection pressure regulator when the ignition switch is
in the ON position. Valve position is controlled by switching the output signal circuit to ground
inside the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Injection pressure is controlled by the powertrain
control module based on inputs from intake air temperature, engine oil temperature, manifold and
barometric pressure, and pedal position.
Fuel injection pressure is controlled by the injection control pressure (ICP) system.The ICP system
consists of the following:
^ injection control pressure (ICP) sensor (located in the cylinder head oil gallery)
^ Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR) located in the high-pressure oil pump
^ Powertrain Control Module

High pressure pumps with oil leaks at the fittings for the high pressure lines and the lugs at the rear
can be repaired in the field using the following Ford part number 2C3Z-9G804-AA kit per TSB
03-17-01. This kit contains 3 o-rings, sealant, instructions on how to clean and seal the fittings.
Torque specs. for the fittings are also included.
Note: Threads must be cleaned, sealant applied to the first 3 threads ad the fittings and plug
tightened to proper specs.
Pump Operation
The IPR acts to increase ICP by restricting the path to drain.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > High Pressure Oil Pump > Injector
Control Pressure Regulator > Component Information > Specifications > Page 3861
The PCM attempts to increase ICP by raising the IPR%.
Note: As a general rule 7.3 Power stroke engines require 500 psi ICP (1.0 volts ICPv) minimum to
start.
1.) ICP System Diagnostics
P1211 sets if ICP is 410 psi above or 280 psi below desired pressure for 7.5 seconds. P1212 sets
if 725 psi of ICP is not detected in 6 to 15 seconds of cranking. P1280 code is for ICP circuit low
(often open circuits). Typical issues include, corrosion, spread pins, or improperly crimped
terminals at the ICP sensor harness connector. If a P1280 is set, the PCM will display a default
value of 725 psi at idle. To verify open circuit concern use ICPv. ICP KOEO signal voltage should
be between .16 to .28 volts.
2.) No Start Diagnostics
IPR% goes high with no or low ICP. A leak exists in the system - P1211 or 1212 may be present.
Use test plugs tool # D94T 6600 A for 94 thru 98 MY. Use test plugs tool # 303-627 & 303-628 (kit #
T99T-1000-E) for 99 my and newer with quick connect.
- Block off right bank (passenger side).
- Attempt to start.
- Start indicates leak in right bank.
- Reconnect hose to right bank.
- Remove right side valve cover.
- Unplug injector connectors at both valve covers.
- Crank the engine.
- Observe spill out of the injector and top of injector bore for oil leakage. (no oil should be coming
out from the spill spouts or around the injector.) -Replace injector if oil leaks from spill spout or
o-ring if leak is from injector bore.
If no start - leak/loss may not be right head, but ICP still low.
- Block off left bank and move ICP into adapter.
- Attempt to start.
- Start indicates leak in left bank.
- Reconnect hose to left bank and install ICP into left head.
- Remove left side valve cover.
- Unplug injector connectors at both valve covers.
- Crank engine.
- Observe spill spout of the injector and top of injector bore for oil leakage. (No oil should be
coming out from the spill spout or around the injector.) -Replace injector if oil leaks from spill spout
or o-ring if leak is from injector bore.
If not start / low ICP on both previous tests
- Block off both high pressure lines.
- Crank engine.
- If pressure is below 1000 psi remove IPR valve and inspect o-rings.
- If the IPR valve o-ring are damaged replace them with kit # F6TZ-9C977-AA and retest.
- If o-ring are ok, then replace the IPR valve and retest.

Control Pressure Regulator > Component Information > Specifications > Page 3862
Note: Do not replace the pump and IPR at the same time. If during any repair, the oil reservoir is
allowed to drain it should be refilled before attempting to restart the vehicle.
3.) Engine Starts But Has A P1211 Code
IPR% higher than expected. Stall shortly after cold start may also be a symptom. Prior to
diagnosing a vehicle with a P1211, fuel pressure should verified.
This indicates a smaller leak in the high pressure system. Using the same block off plugs described
earlier to block off one bank and observing IPR% when engine is running on each bank at similar
rpms. Higher IPR% on one bank compared to the other would indicate a leak on the higher IPR%
bank. Example:
Repair as needed after locating leak as described in visual inspection in previous routing.
4.) Diagnosing P1211 With IPR% Less That 8 at Idle
ICP more than 4110 psi above command for at least 7.5 seconds can set a P1211 code. IPR with
low duty cycle ( less than 8% @ idle) and engine running, indicates a restriction in the drain circuit.
This restriction is taking the place of the IPR valve, driving the IPR duty cycle lower, with higher
than expected ICP. The excess restriction will be in the reservoir, front cover, stuck IPR valve, or
debris above the edge fitter. The drain path through the reservoir and front cover can be visually
verified. Typically the pump or IPR must be replaced to repair this concern. Do not replace both
components at the same time.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > High Pressure Oil Pump > Injector
Control Pressure Regulator > Component Information > Specifications > Page 3863
This often occurs after the oil pan is resealed where excess sealant is forced through the lube
system (short circuit check valve) and trapped at the edge filter of the high pressure pump.
5.) Abnormal Long Crank/Stall after cold start
A worn lube oil pump can negatively affect ICP system's performance in the following ways.
- Cold engine, abnormal long crank to start. (Oil pressure gauge in dash moves immediately prior
to start.)
- Cold engine, start then stall - then long crank to restart. (Oil pressure gauge in dash moves
immediately prior to start.)
These symptoms are often mis-diagnosed as high pressure oil (ICP) concerns. Both symptoms
may be caused by wear in lube oil pump or thick oil (poor maintenance). Pump wear causes a
decrease in pump efficiency. Cold, thick oil becomes to move. Any lube oil system failure can
negatively affect the performance of the ICP system.
Recession greater than .003" causes long crank to start and/or stall.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > High Pressure Oil Pump > Injector
Control Pressure Regulator > Component Information > Specifications > Page 3864
To measure pump wear, place a straight edge across the pump housing and use a feeler gauge to
measure clearance between the inner gear and the straight edge. A pump with excess gear
recession will contribute to hard start issues.
When replacing the pump, the directional marking ("out" or "damper") must face the vibration
damper. If installed correctly there is recess that the vibration damper fits into on the inner gear. If
installed incorrectly, the inner gear will cause major damage to the front cover.
6.) For Hard Start Long Crank or No Start Where The Injector Will Not Buzz Loudly ( Has
Background Buzz Only ) When Cold
Some engines have a no start/or long crank to start and the injector have a low background buzz,
not a strong normal buzz. After performing the buzz test multiple times the injector may start to
buzz and the engine may start and run fine the rest of the day until the next cold start. Typically, we
find that this is a high mileage vehicle with poor maintenance as far as oil changes are concerned.
What is occuring is that the poppet inside the injector is not able to move freely because of the
thick old oil. If an oil change is performed after driving the vehicle and then driven again with new
oil the next cold start the engine may improve.
Note: This concern is related to poor maintenance and extended the oil change intervals. If poor
maintenance is the cause, then all 8 injectors will be affected.
The audible sound heard while performing an injector buzz test is the poppet stopping at the upper
and lower seat during actuation.

FORD: 1994-1997 F SUPER DUTY, F-250, F-350 1995-1997 E-350
Article 97-6-18 is being republished with updates as part of a consolidated 7.3L diagnostic aid
booklet.
ISSUE
The 7.3L Direct Injection Turbo (DIT) engines are built with 0.1016-0.8128 mm (0.0040-0.032")
clearance between the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and the trigger wheel. At approximately
1.016 mm (0.040") clearance, the sensor will fail to synchronize and result in a no run condition.
Improper CMP clearance can be seen in the following six (6) symptoms:
^ 1) Fault codes - incorrect synchronization count
^ 2) Low RPM - fails to achieve rated speed for 2-3 minutes after extended cold soak
^ 3) No start - after extended cold soak
^ 4) Runs poorly cold - engine runs OK warm
^ 5) Stall on deceleration - more pronounced cold
^ 6) Starts, runs cold, dies warm, will not restart until cool
ACTION
Install a shim between the CMP sensor and the front engine cover. The shim will allow the correct
clearance which should reduce the possibility of concerns. Refer to the following Service Procedure
for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Perform normal DIT Powerstroke diagnostics. If no other problems are found, proceed with this
TSB article.
2. Remove CMP sensor and inspect for signs of contact with the pulse wheel. Make sure the holes
on the end are filled with epoxy and inspect the connector mating cavity for signs of oil
contamination. If there are any signs of contact, contamination, or the holes are not filled, replace
the CMP Sensor (F6TZ-12K073-A).
3. Repair symptoms 1) - 5) as follows: install a 0.254 mm (0.010") shim under the CMP sensor. If
symptoms persist, increase the shim thickness to 0.508 mm (0.020") Shim (F7TZ-1 2J072-AA).
NOTE
SOME ENGINES BETWEEN SERIAL NUMBERS 388840 AND 410010 HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH
EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF TRIGGER WHEEL RUNOUT. RUNOUT OF THE TRIGGER WHEEL
GREATER THAN 0.508 mm (0.020") MIGHT NOT BE RESOLVED WITH A SHIM. THE
ADDITIONAL CLEARANCE CAN PUT TOTAL CLEARANCE ABOVE 1.016 mm (0.040") AND
CAUSE FAILURE TO SYNCHRONIZE.
4. If symptom 6) occurs and trigger wheel runout is greater than 0.508 mm (0.020"), try a 0.254 mm
(0.010") shim. If the concern is unresolved, replace the Camshaft Assembly (F4TZ-6250-A). Refer
to the appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 03-01C, for camshaft assembly
replacement procedure.

FORD: 1994-1997 F SUPER DUTY, F-250, F-350 1995-1997 E-350
Article 97-6-18 is being republished with updates as part of a consolidated 7.3L diagnostic aid
booklet.
ISSUE
The 7.3L Direct Injection Turbo (DIT) engines are built with 0.1016-0.8128 mm (0.0040-0.032")
clearance between the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and the trigger wheel. At approximately
1.016 mm (0.040") clearance, the sensor will fail to synchronize and result in a no run condition.
Improper CMP clearance can be seen in the following six (6) symptoms:
^ 1) Fault codes - incorrect synchronization count
^ 2) Low RPM - fails to achieve rated speed for 2-3 minutes after extended cold soak
^ 3) No start - after extended cold soak
^ 4) Runs poorly cold - engine runs OK warm
^ 5) Stall on deceleration - more pronounced cold
^ 6) Starts, runs cold, dies warm, will not restart until cool
ACTION
Install a shim between the CMP sensor and the front engine cover. The shim will allow the correct
clearance which should reduce the possibility of concerns. Refer to the following Service Procedure
for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Perform normal DIT Powerstroke diagnostics. If no other problems are found, proceed with this
TSB article.
2. Remove CMP sensor and inspect for signs of contact with the pulse wheel. Make sure the holes
on the end are filled with epoxy and inspect the connector mating cavity for signs of oil
contamination. If there are any signs of contact, contamination, or the holes are not filled, replace
the CMP Sensor (F6TZ-12K073-A).
3. Repair symptoms 1) - 5) as follows: install a 0.254 mm (0.010") shim under the CMP sensor. If
symptoms persist, increase the shim thickness to 0.508 mm (0.020") Shim (F7TZ-1 2J072-AA).
NOTE
SOME ENGINES BETWEEN SERIAL NUMBERS 388840 AND 410010 HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH
EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF TRIGGER WHEEL RUNOUT. RUNOUT OF THE TRIGGER WHEEL
GREATER THAN 0.508 mm (0.020") MIGHT NOT BE RESOLVED WITH A SHIM. THE
ADDITIONAL CLEARANCE CAN PUT TOTAL CLEARANCE ABOVE 1.016 mm (0.040") AND
CAUSE FAILURE TO SYNCHRONIZE.
4. If symptom 6) occurs and trigger wheel runout is greater than 0.508 mm (0.020"), try a 0.254 mm
(0.010") shim. If the concern is unresolved, replace the Camshaft Assembly (F4TZ-6250-A). Refer
to the appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 03-01C, for camshaft assembly
replacement procedure.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Camshaft Position Sensor
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is a Hall effect sensor that generates a digital frequency
while windows in a target wheel pass through its magnetic field. The frequency of the windows
passing by the sensor, as well as the width of selected windows, allows the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) to detect engine speed and position.

Article 97-6-18 is being republished with updates as part of a consolidated 7.3L diagnostic aid
booklet.
ISSUE
The 7.3L Direct Injection Turbo (DIT) engines are built with 0.1016-0.8128 mm (0.0040-0.032")
clearance between the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and the trigger wheel. At approximately
1.016 mm (0.040") clearance, the sensor will fail to synchronize and result in a no run condition.
Improper CMP clearance can be seen in the following six (6) symptoms:
^ 1) Fault codes - incorrect synchronization count
^ 2) Low RPM - fails to achieve rated speed for 2-3 minutes after extended cold soak
^ 3) No start - after extended cold soak
^ 4) Runs poorly cold - engine runs OK warm
^ 5) Stall on deceleration - more pronounced cold
^ 6) Starts, runs cold, dies warm, will not restart until cool
ACTION
Install a shim between the CMP sensor and the front engine cover. The shim will allow the correct
clearance which should reduce the possibility of concerns. Refer to the following Service Procedure
for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Perform normal DIT Powerstroke diagnostics. If no other problems are found, proceed with this
TSB article.
2. Remove CMP sensor and inspect for signs of contact with the pulse wheel. Make sure the holes
on the end are filled with epoxy and inspect the connector mating cavity for signs of oil
contamination. If there are any signs of contact, contamination, or the holes are not filled, replace
the CMP Sensor (F6TZ-12K073-A).
3. Repair symptoms 1) - 5) as follows: install a 0.254 mm (0.010") shim under the CMP sensor. If
symptoms persist, increase the shim thickness to 0.508 mm (0.020") Shim (F7TZ-1 2J072-AA).
NOTE
SOME ENGINES BETWEEN SERIAL NUMBERS 388840 AND 410010 HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH
EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF TRIGGER WHEEL RUNOUT. RUNOUT OF THE TRIGGER WHEEL
GREATER THAN 0.508 mm (0.020") MIGHT NOT BE RESOLVED WITH A SHIM. THE
ADDITIONAL CLEARANCE CAN PUT TOTAL CLEARANCE ABOVE 1.016 mm (0.040") AND
CAUSE FAILURE TO SYNCHRONIZE.
4. If symptom 6) occurs and trigger wheel runout is greater than 0.508 mm (0.020"), try a 0.254 mm
(0.010") shim. If the concern is unresolved, replace the Camshaft Assembly (F4TZ-6250-A). Refer
to the appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 03-01C, for camshaft assembly
replacement procedure.

Glow Plug Relay: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The glow plug control module has a plastic base and two mounting bolts. It is operated by the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) which senses engine oil temperature, PCM voltage, and
barometric pressure.
OPERATION
When the engine oil temperature or the barometric pressure is low, the PCM activates the glow
plug control module and the intake manifold glow plugs. If the PCM voltage is too high, the PCM
deactivates the glow plug control module and the intake manifold glow plugs immediately energize
for a shorter duration, decreasing the modulation of the duty cycle.

Wait To Start Light: Description and Operation
Glow Plug Lamp Control
The Glow Plug Lamp (GPL) signal controls the WAIT TO START light located on the instrument
panel. This light is used to indicate when to start the engine. The cylinders are being warmed by
the glow plugs while this light is on.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) energizes the glow plug lamp longer if the engine is very
cold or if the barometric pressure is low.
When the GPL signal is low, the WAIT TO START light is turned on.
The glow plug lamp is controlled by the following sequence:
1. PCM lights the WAIT TO START light after a key on reset occurs. The PCM determines the glow
plug lamp activation time based on engine oil
temperature, barometric pressure and battery voltage.
2. PCM turns off the WAIT TO START light. The glow plug lamp is turned off when the timer counts
to the number of seconds specified by the
PCM.

DESCRIPTION
The Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) Solenoid is a Variable Force Solenoid. The VFS-type
solenoid is an electro-hydraulic actuator combining a solenoid and a regulating valve.
OPERATION
The EPC solenoid supplies Electronic Pressure Control which regulates transmission line pressure
and line modulator pressure. This is done by producing resisting forces to the main regulator and
the line modulator circuits. These two pressures control the clutch application pressures.
CAUTION: The electronic pressure control pressure output from the variable force solenoid is NOT
adjustable. Any modification to the electronic pressure control solenoid will affect the transmission
warranty.

Throttle Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Accelerator Pedal (AP) Sensor
Accelerator Pedal (AP) Sensor
DESCRIPTION
The Accelerator Pedal (AP) Sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal and detects the position of
the accelerator pedal.
OPERATION
The accelerator pedal position information is sent as a voltage signal to the PCM. The PCM uses
this information to determine shift scheduling and electronic pressure control.
FUNCTION
If a malfunction occurs in the AP sensor circuit, the PCM will recognize that the AP signal is out of
specification. The PCM will then operate the E4OD at a high line pressure to prevent transmission
damage. This higher line pressure results in harsh upshifts and engagements.

Throttle Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Throttle Position Sensor
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
Description
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer attached to the fuel injection pump and is
operated by the throttle lever.
Operation
The TP sensor is incorporated to provide an electrical signal, which is proportional to the amount of
fuel being delivered, as an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Based on this
information, the TP sensor provides the proper shift scheduling and torque capacity.
Should a malfunction occur in the TP sensor circuit, the electrical signal sent to the PCM will be
recognized as erroneous. When this out-of-specification signal is detected, the PCM will operate
the E4OD at a higher line pressure to protect the transmission from potential damage. This high
line pressure, results in harsh upshifts and engagements.

Transmission Control Switch (TCS)
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Control Switch (TCS) is a momentary contact switch which disables 4th gear
operation and enables engine braking when activated.
OPERATION
When the switch is pressed, a signal is sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM
then energizes the Transmission Control Indicator Lamp (TCIL) and the Coast Clutch Solenoid
(CCS), applying the coast clutch to provide engine braking and cancels fourth gear operation.

Article 97-6-18 is being republished with updates as part of a consolidated 7.3L diagnostic aid
booklet.
ISSUE
The 7.3L Direct Injection Turbo (DIT) engines are built with 0.1016-0.8128 mm (0.0040-0.032")
clearance between the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and the trigger wheel. At approximately
1.016 mm (0.040") clearance, the sensor will fail to synchronize and result in a no run condition.
Improper CMP clearance can be seen in the following six (6) symptoms:
^ 1) Fault codes - incorrect synchronization count
^ 2) Low RPM - fails to achieve rated speed for 2-3 minutes after extended cold soak
^ 3) No start - after extended cold soak
^ 4) Runs poorly cold - engine runs OK warm
^ 5) Stall on deceleration - more pronounced cold
^ 6) Starts, runs cold, dies warm, will not restart until cool
ACTION
Install a shim between the CMP sensor and the front engine cover. The shim will allow the correct
clearance which should reduce the possibility of concerns. Refer to the following Service Procedure
for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Perform normal DIT Powerstroke diagnostics. If no other problems are found, proceed with this
TSB article.
2. Remove CMP sensor and inspect for signs of contact with the pulse wheel. Make sure the holes
on the end are filled with epoxy and inspect the connector mating cavity for signs of oil
contamination. If there are any signs of contact, contamination, or the holes are not filled, replace
the CMP Sensor (F6TZ-12K073-A).
3. Repair symptoms 1) - 5) as follows: install a 0.254 mm (0.010") shim under the CMP sensor. If
symptoms persist, increase the shim thickness to 0.508 mm (0.020") Shim (F7TZ-1 2J072-AA).
NOTE
SOME ENGINES BETWEEN SERIAL NUMBERS 388840 AND 410010 HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH
EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF TRIGGER WHEEL RUNOUT. RUNOUT OF THE TRIGGER WHEEL
GREATER THAN 0.508 mm (0.020") MIGHT NOT BE RESOLVED WITH A SHIM. THE
ADDITIONAL CLEARANCE CAN PUT TOTAL CLEARANCE ABOVE 1.016 mm (0.040") AND
CAUSE FAILURE TO SYNCHRONIZE.
4. If symptom 6) occurs and trigger wheel runout is greater than 0.508 mm (0.020"), try a 0.254 mm
(0.010") shim. If the concern is unresolved, replace the Camshaft Assembly (F4TZ-6250-A). Refer
to the appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 03-01C, for camshaft assembly
replacement procedure.

Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor
PURPOSE
Used as an input to determine shift schedule and Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) for
temperature effects.
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor is a temperature-sensitive device called a
thermistor it is located in the solenoid body assembly it sends a voltage signal to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). The voltage signal varies with the transmission fluid temperature.
OPERATION
The PCM uses the voltage signal to determine whether a cold start shift schedule is necessary.
The cold start shift schedule lowers shift speeds to allow for the reduced performance of cold
engine operation. The TFT is part of the transmission solenoid assembly and is not replaced
separately.

ISSUE: Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) no longer need to be replaced when servicing
driveability concerns. The only time a PCM needs replacing is when it can no longer be
reprogrammed and/or is damaged. In all other cases, the PCM must be reprogrammed and NOT
REPLACED.
ACTION: Use the following Service Procedure to properly reprogram a PCM.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
PCM REPROGRAMMING USING SBDS
1. At the Main menu, select Powertrain and enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Select
"Continue."
2. From the Powertrain menu, select Electronic Engine category.
3. Scroll through the "Tool List" to PCM Reprogramming and select "Continue."
4. Any TSBs or Recalls for the entered vehicle will be displayed. There is up to a 6 week delay for
TSB/Recall information updates on SBDS. New TSBs/Recalls may not appear or only the TSB
number will be displayed even though the new calibration is on the current calibration CD-ROM.
Also, if the vehicle calibration is being updated because of a Special Service Message, Broadcast
Message or the PCM was replaced and requires calibration, no screen may appear. This is not a
concern and will not prevent programming updates or being paid for programming updates.
5. Follow all hook-up instructions and continue as prompted to the calibration screen. Typically, a
list of calibration numbers will appear. Answer as appropriate for the vehicle and select "Continue."
SBDS will then validate the information entered against the information read in the PCM, and any
mismatch of software or hardware will be displayed for technician action.
6. Insert the proper calibration or the latest level CD-ROM when prompted and follow the
instructions as displayed by SBDS. Do not crank the engine. SBDS will update the engine
calibration to the latest level calibration for the selected calibration.
7. After programming is complete, SBDS will display a representation of the Authorized
Modification Decal with the Engineering Part Number for the PCM installed. It is important that the
label be completed and attached to the vehicle. S8DS will also automatically print a copy of the
vehicle log for filing with the Repair Order.
8. Selecting "Continue" will call for a KOEO self test. Any hard faults present after performing self
test were not caused by reprogramming. The calibration has now been validated and the PCM is
operating properly. Unless directed by other Service Procedures, the vehicle can be released to

Exchange Units With Julian build dates between 062-97 And 04099 (corresponding serial numbers
are between R0475797 and R0771887).
ISSUE A delayed or no 2-3 upshift, primarily when the transmission is cold, may be evident on
some vehicles In some cases, Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0782 may also be present. This
may be caused by fluid pressure leakage past the larger diameter seal of the 2-3 accumulator.
ACTION Replace the 2-3 accumulator piston using a revised piston. The revised piston will
increase seal/bore interference, eliminating any internal leak relating to the 2-3 accumulator piston
reducing the possibility of 2-3 upshift concerns. Refer to the appropriate Service or Workshop

ISSUE: Some vehicles may exhibit an erratic or prolonged 1-2 shift. This may be caused by early
Accumulator Seal wear which may occur during repeated 1-2, 2-1 shift cycling. The Accumulator
side loads in the Case Accumulator Bore and causes the Case Bore to become scuffed. Bore
scuffing leads to premature seal wear and eventual intermediate clutch pressure loss, which leads
to the loss in 1-2 shift.
ACTION: Replace the cast aluminum piston with the one-piece stamped steel piston with bonded
lip seals and replace the top Accumulator Spring. These revised parts allow for increased
durability. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE:
TRANSMISSION CASE REPLACEMENT IS NOT REQUIRED DUE TO 1-2 SHIFT
ACCUMULATOR BORE SCUFFING. THE REVISED PISTON ASSEMBLY CAN BE USED WITH
SCUFFED SEAL BORE.
1. With the vehicle on a hoist, remove the transmission pan and gasket. Using the Snap Ring
Removal Tool, remove the 1-2 Accumulator Piston Retainer. At this time, the spring load will pop
the cover and bottom Accumulator Spring out of the bore.
2. Remove the piston and top Accumulator Spring.

This concern is ONLY for vehicles with Ford Quality Remanufactured (FQR) 4R70W Transmission
Exchange Units With Julian build dates between 062-97 And 04099 (corresponding serial numbers
are between R0475797 and R0771887).
ISSUE A delayed or no 2-3 upshift, primarily when the transmission is cold, may be evident on
some vehicles In some cases, Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0782 may also be present. This
may be caused by fluid pressure leakage past the larger diameter seal of the 2-3 accumulator.
ACTION Replace the 2-3 accumulator piston using a revised piston. The revised piston will
increase seal/bore interference, eliminating any internal leak relating to the 2-3 accumulator piston
reducing the possibility of 2-3 upshift concerns. Refer to the appropriate Service or Workshop
Manual for replacement procedure.

ISSUE: Some vehicles may exhibit an erratic or prolonged 1-2 shift. This may be caused by early
Accumulator Seal wear which may occur during repeated 1-2, 2-1 shift cycling. The Accumulator
side loads in the Case Accumulator Bore and causes the Case Bore to become scuffed. Bore
scuffing leads to premature seal wear and eventual intermediate clutch pressure loss, which leads
to the loss in 1-2 shift.
ACTION: Replace the cast aluminum piston with the one-piece stamped steel piston with bonded
lip seals and replace the top Accumulator Spring. These revised parts allow for increased
durability. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE:
TRANSMISSION CASE REPLACEMENT IS NOT REQUIRED DUE TO 1-2 SHIFT
ACCUMULATOR BORE SCUFFING. THE REVISED PISTON ASSEMBLY CAN BE USED WITH
SCUFFED SEAL BORE.
1. With the vehicle on a hoist, remove the transmission pan and gasket. Using the Snap Ring
Removal Tool, remove the 1-2 Accumulator Piston Retainer. At this time, the spring load will pop
the cover and bottom Accumulator Spring out of the bore.
2. Remove the piston and top Accumulator Spring.

FLUID CHECK
1. Make sure car is on a level floor. 2. Apply parking brake firmly. 3. Run engine at normal idle
speed. If transmission fluid is cold, run engine at a fast idle until fluid reaches normal operating
temperature. When fluid
is warm, slow engine to normal idle speed.
4. Shift selector lever through all positions, then place lever at Park. Do not shut down engine
during fluid level checks. 5. Clean all dirt from dipstick cap before removing dipstick from filler tube.
6. Pull dipstick out of tube, wipe it clean, and push it all the way back in tube. 7. Pull dipstick out of
tube again and check fluid level. If necessary, add specified fluid to raise the level to the Full mark
on dipstick. Do not overfill.

FLUID CHECK
NOTE: The automatic transmission is designed to operate with the fluid level between the Add and
Full mark on the dipstick at an operating temperature of 150° F - 170° F.
1. With transmission in Park, engine at curb idle RPM, foot brake applied, and vehicle on level
surface, move transmission selector lever through
each range.
2. Allow time in each range to engage transmission, then return selector to Park. 3. Apply parking
brake.
NOTE: Do not turn off engine during the fluid level check.
4. Remove dipstick from filler tube, wipe clean, and push dipstick back into tube. Ensure it is fully
seated. 5. Remove dipstick from filler tube and check fluid level. Fluid level should be between Add
and Full mark. 6. If necessary, add enough fluid through filler tube to raise level to correct position.
NOTE: Do not overfill.

FLUID CHANGE
NOTE: Normal maintenance and lubrication requirements do not necessitate periodic fluid
changes. If a major failure has occurred in the transmission, it will have to be removed for service.
At this time the converter must be thoroughly flushed to remove any foreign matter.
CAUTION: Use of a fluid other than specified could result in transmission malfunction and failure.
1. To drain the fluid, loosen pan attaching bolts and allow fluid to drain. 2. After fluid has drained to
the level of the pan flange, remove pan bolts working from rear and both sides of pan to allow it to
drop and drain
slowly.
3. When fluid has stopped draining, remove and clean pan and screen. Discard pan gasket. 4.
Using a new gasket, install pan. 5. Add recommended fluid to transmission through filler tube. 6.
Run engine at idle speed for 2 minutes, and then run it at a fast idle until it reaches normal
operating temperature. 7. Shift selector lever through all positions, place it at Park and check fluid
level. 8. If necessary, add enough fluid to transmission to bring it to the Full mark on the dipstick.

FLUID CHANGE
NOTE: No service is required on this transmission under normal use. If any of the following driving
conditions exist, the transmission fluid, filter, and gasket should be changed every 21,000 miles:
Sustained high speed driving at or above 90° F, towing a trailer for more than 1,000 miles,
accumulating more than 5,000 miles per month or continuous running service. If service is needed
proceed as follows:
1. Loosen transmission fluid pan bolts to partially drain fluid. 2. Slowly remove remaining bolts,
lower pan and discard old gasket. 3. Drain torque converter by removing drain plug. 4. Reverse
procedure to install, noting the following:
a. Install new torque converter drain plug and torque to 18-20 ft lbs. b. Ensure the new filter and
gasket application is correct.
CAUTION: 4WD and 2WD are not interchangeable. Damage may result if wrong filter is installed.
c. Only use MERCON transmission fluid. d. Install pan bolts and torque to 10-12 ft lbs. e. Add 6 1/2
quarts of MERCON(R) V transmission fluid. f.

- 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.

Fluid Pump: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The pump provides a supply of transmission fluid under
pressure to operate, lubricate, and cool the transmission. The center support provides a flow path
for fluid to activate the forward and direct clutches and lubricate the intermediate circuit. The center
support also acts as a pilot for the intermediate brake drum. The intermediate/overdrive cylinder
provides a fluid path to activate the intermediate and overdrive clutches. The intermediate servo
applies the band in manual two.

Accelerator Pedal (AP) Sensor
DESCRIPTION
The Accelerator Pedal (AP) Sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal and detects the position of
the accelerator pedal.
OPERATION
The accelerator pedal position information is sent as a voltage signal to the PCM. The PCM uses
this information to determine shift scheduling and electronic pressure control.
FUNCTION
If a malfunction occurs in the AP sensor circuit, the PCM will recognize that the AP signal is out of
specification. The PCM will then operate the E4OD at a high line pressure to prevent transmission
damage. This higher line pressure results in harsh upshifts and engagements.

Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
Description
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer attached to the fuel injection pump and is
operated by the throttle lever.
Operation
The TP sensor is incorporated to provide an electrical signal, which is proportional to the amount of
fuel being delivered, as an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Based on this
information, the TP sensor provides the proper shift scheduling and torque capacity.
Should a malfunction occur in the TP sensor circuit, the electrical signal sent to the PCM will be
recognized as erroneous. When this out-of-specification signal is detected, the PCM will operate
the E4OD at a higher line pressure to protect the transmission from potential damage. This high
line pressure, results in harsh upshifts and engagements.

Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor
PURPOSE
Used as an input to determine shift schedule and Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) for
temperature effects.
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor is a temperature-sensitive device called a
thermistor it is located in the solenoid body assembly it sends a voltage signal to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). The voltage signal varies with the transmission fluid temperature.
OPERATION
The PCM uses the voltage signal to determine whether a cold start shift schedule is necessary.
The cold start shift schedule lowers shift speeds to allow for the reduced performance of cold
engine operation. The TFT is part of the transmission solenoid assembly and is not replaced
separately.

Accelerator Pedal (AP) Sensor
DESCRIPTION
The Accelerator Pedal (AP) Sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal and detects the position of
the accelerator pedal.
OPERATION
The accelerator pedal position information is sent as a voltage signal to the PCM. The PCM uses
this information to determine shift scheduling and electronic pressure control.
FUNCTION
If a malfunction occurs in the AP sensor circuit, the PCM will recognize that the AP signal is out of
specification. The PCM will then operate the E4OD at a high line pressure to prevent transmission
damage. This higher line pressure results in harsh upshifts and engagements.

Throttle Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Throttle Position Sensor
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
Description
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer attached to the fuel injection pump and is
operated by the throttle lever.
Operation
The TP sensor is incorporated to provide an electrical signal, which is proportional to the amount of
fuel being delivered, as an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Based on this
information, the TP sensor provides the proper shift scheduling and torque capacity.
Should a malfunction occur in the TP sensor circuit, the electrical signal sent to the PCM will be
recognized as erroneous. When this out-of-specification signal is detected, the PCM will operate
the E4OD at a higher line pressure to protect the transmission from potential damage. This high
line pressure, results in harsh upshifts and engagements.

ISSUE
Some vehicles with transmissions built prior to 11/13/95 (5L13) may exhibit a driveline
resonance/vibration between 1400 and 2000 RPM with the torque converter clutch engaged. This
may be caused by the torque converter.
ACTION
Prior to torque converter replacement, refer to the following Service Procedure for details to verify
conditions.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Verify the resonance/vibration does not occur in neutral and is most noticeable between 1400
and 2000 RPM with the converter clutch engaged during medium to heavy throttle conditions. Also
watch for the vibration to diminish at engine speeds lower than 1400 and higher than 2000 RPM. If
the concern meets all of these conditions and the transmission has a built date prior to 11/13/95
(5L13), replace the torque converter. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual for removal and
installation procedures.
2. If the vibration concerns do not meet the conditions, check for non-factory installed items that
could affect driveline and verify proper installation. Also refer to the appropriate Service Manual,
Section 05-00 for diagnosis and testing.

Torque Converter: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The torque converter couples the engine to the input shaft of
the transmission. It provides torque multiplication and absorbs engine shock caused by gear
shifting.
The converter clutch is an electrically controlled clutch which bypasses the torque converter. This
eliminates torque converter slippage and excess heat generation, resulting in improved fuel
economy and vehicle performance. The converter clutch is also used to minimize the perceived
engine RPM change during upshifts and downshifts. The converter clutch hydraulic control allows
only On/Off control of the clutch application. Converter clutch application and release is controlled
by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or the transmission Electronic Control Assembly (ECA)
through solenoid No. 3.
The converter clutch (piston plate clutch and damper assembly) transmits engine power to the
turbine hub and input shaft from the converter cover during lockup. The converter cover transmits
power from the engine into the converter.
The turbine is splined through the turbine hub to the input shaft and driven by fluid from the
impeller. The impeller, driven by the converter cover, pumps transmission fluid within the torque
converter.
The reactor gives a hydraulic reaction yielding torque multiplication. Contained within the reactor is
a one-way clutch that will hold the reactor stationary only when reaction is required. The impeller
hub drives the pump drive gear.

ISSUE The number one cause for repeat transmission repairs is that contamination from the
transmission cooler system (lines and tank) will work their way back into the rebuilt or new
transmission. For this reason a new transmission cooler flusher has been released, "Turbo-Tank
Heated Cooler Line Flusher" Rotunda Tool number 22-00001.
ACTION The transmission cooling system (cooler and lines) MUST be flushed every time the
transmission is overhauled or replaced in order to minimize the likelihood of repeat repairs. The
use of this new "Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line Flusher" (222-00001) is the most effective way to
remove contamination from its cooling system. Refer to the following Service Procedure and
Equipment instructions (supplied with the "Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line Flusher").
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Prior methods of cooler flushing have not obtained the level of cooler cleaning and contaminant
removal that is required to prevent repeat repairs. The "Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line Flusher"
uses heated Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) and a pulsating action to loosen system
contamination.
Previous equipment used solvents to clean & flush coolers, lines and torque-converters. There are
2 issues with this method:
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Cooler, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > A/T - Cooler Flushing Service Tips > Page 4693
^ Residual solvent contamination can cause damage to friction bonding materials within the
transmission (Clutches and Bands).
^ Lack of fluid heating and agitation prevents this method from completely removing contamination
from lines, in-radiator coolers and auxiliary coolers.
Aerosol Solvents should never be used for several reasons.
^ They do not provide the volume necessary to remove heavy contaminants.
^ They evaporate quickly and essentially leave contaminants in pockets, bends, or wherever they
are as the solvent dries.
NOTE
YOU MUST IDENTIFY THE RETURN COOLER LINE TO START THE BACK FLUSHING
PROCEDURE.
A quick way to identify the return cooler line (fluid coming out of the cooler and returning to the
transmission) is to locate the return cooler line fitting on the transmission case. Refer to the
following lists:
Rear Wheel Drive
^ TORQSHIFT, 4R100, E40D, C6 - The REAR transmission case filling receives the return line.
^ 4R70W, AODE, AOD - The TOP transmission case filling receives the return line.
^ A4LD, 4R44/55E, 5R55E, 5R55N, 5R55W, 5R55S
- The TOP transmission case filling receives the return line.
Front Wheel Drive
^ CD4E - The REAR or Pump End transaxle case fitting receives the return line.
^ 4F27E - The REAR or Cover End transaxle case fitting receives the return line.
^ AXOD, AXODE, AX4S, AX4N, 4F50N - The BOTTOM transaxle cooler line fitting receives the
return line.
NOTE
IF AN IN-LINE FILTER HAS BEEN INSTALLED IN THE COOLER LINE, IT MUST BE REMOVED
BEFORE FLUSHING THE COOLER OR COOLER LINES.
Purge the cooler and cooler line before flushing:
Located on the "Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line Flusher" is a fluid transfer and purge valve. This
valve can be used to purge the cooler and cooler lines of contaminated fluid before starting the
back flush procedure of the fluid cooling system (refer to step 5a of this Service Procedure or
Equipment instructions, supplied with the "Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line Flusher").
Flush Procedure
1. Check and top off fluid level of the "Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line Flusher" tank with
transmission fluid.
2. Allow the fluid in the flusher 15-30 minutes to heat up to 140° F (60° C) before using.
3. Install line adapters into the transmission cooler lines.
4. Attach the flusher's blue line to the transmission return cooler line quick disconnect.
5. Attach the flusher's red line to the transmission outlet cooler line quick disconnect.
a. Follow equipment instructions, to purge cooler lines and cooler prior to starting flushing
procedure (using factory installed purge valve and clear hose on "Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line
Flusher").
6. Allow the cooling system to back-flush for 10-15 minutes, then flush the cooler in a
forward/normal flow direction for an additional 10-15 minutes.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4709
^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4715
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4716
g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4717
engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4719
Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4722
To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4723
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4724
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4725
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4726
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4727
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Pinpoint Tests
The pinpoint tests are a step-by-step diagnostic process designed to determine the cause of a
condition. It may not always be necessary to follow a pinpoint test to its conclusion. Carry out only
the steps necessary to correct the condition. Then, test the system for normal operation.
Sometimes, it is necessary to remove various vehicle components to gain access to the component
requiring testing. For additional information, REFER to the appropriate Workshop Manual section
for removal and installation procedures. Reinstall all components after verifying system operation is
normal.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4797
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor
PURPOSE
Used as an input to determine shift schedule and Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) for
temperature effects.
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor is a temperature-sensitive device called a
thermistor it is located in the solenoid body assembly it sends a voltage signal to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). The voltage signal varies with the transmission fluid temperature.
OPERATION
The PCM uses the voltage signal to determine whether a cold start shift schedule is necessary.
The cold start shift schedule lowers shift speeds to allow for the reduced performance of cold
engine operation. The TFT is part of the transmission solenoid assembly and is not replaced
separately.

Vacuum Diaphragm: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
Altitude Compensating Vacuum Diaphragm
This unit, the Altitude Compensating Vacuum Diaphragm, is used in some transmissions. The unit
incorporates an evacuated bellows that is sensitive to barometric pressure.
OPERATION Barometric pressure decreases about 1 in Hg for each 1,000 ft altitude increase. The
bellows decreases throttle pressure at higher altitude to make the shift feel comparable to lower
altitude. The engine power loss at high altitude is offset by a lower throttle pressure and the shifts
remain smooth.

VACUUM DIAPHRAGM CHECK
NOTE: To check the vacuum diaphragm for leakage, remove the unit from transmission.
1. Using a distributor tester equipped with a vacuum pump, set regulator knob so that vacuum
gauge reads 18 in Hg with end of the vacuum hose
blocked off.
2. If the diaphragm holds 18 in Hg of vacuum, the vacuum diaphragm is not leaking.

Vacuum Regulator Valve: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
Vacuum Regulator Valve
The vacuum regulator valve is used on some models equipped with the 7.3L diesel engine to
provide a vacuum signal which is proportional to throttle position.
OPERATION A constant vacuum source is supplied to the vacuum regulator valve by an engine
driven vacuum pump which also delivers vacuum to other accessories. The vacuum regulator valve
regulates an output vacuum signal to the transmission's vacuum diaphragm. As the throttle is
opened, regulated vacuum from the vacuum regulator valve decreases. In the event a malfunction
should occur within the vacuum regulator valve, the valve will cause a zero (0) vacuum signal to be
transmitted to the diaphragm which will cause delayed and harsh shifts to occur. Anytime delayed
or harsh upshifts are encountered, the performance of the vacuum regulator valve should be
checked prior to performing any transmission repairs.
NOTE: Should the vacuum regulator valve be replaced or the fuel injection pump removed, the
vacuum regulator valve must be adjusted.
LOCATION The vacuum regulator valve is located on the fuel injection pump, and is actuated by
the throttle lever.

Vacuum Regulator Valve: Adjustments
VACUUM REGULATOR VALVE ADJUST
NOTE: During the check and adjustment procedure, the engine must not be operating.
1. Disconnect two port vacuum connector from vacuum regulator valve located on the left side of
the fuel injection pump. 2. Disconnect throttle cable from throttle lever. 3. Remove throttle return
spring. Install end of spring over throttle lever ball stud and other end of spring over throttle cable
support bracket. 4. Connect a suitable vacuum pump to the upper port of the vacuum regulator
valve (vacuum supply side). 5. Connect a suitable vacuum gauge to lower port of vacuum regulator
valve labeled TRANS. 6. Apply and maintain 20 in Hg of vacuum to the vacuum regulator valve. It
will be necessary to pump the vacuum up as it bleeds off. Cycle the
throttle lever 5 times from idle to the wide open throttle position with vacuum applied.
Vacuum Regulator Valve Gauge Block Installation
7. Insert gauge block No. T83T-7B200-AH (0.515 in) between pump boss and throttle wide open
stop. The throttle return spring as repositioned
previously, will hold the throttle lever stop against the gauge block tool. The vacuum gauge should
indicate 6-8 in Hg of vacuum. If reading obtained is not as specified, adjust vacuum regulator valve
as follows: a. Loosen two adjustment screws attaching vacuum regulator valve to the fuel injection
pump. b. Rotate vacuum regulator valve until correct vacuum reading is obtained, then torque the
two adjustment screws to 75-90 in lbs. c. If vacuum regulator valve cannot be adjusted, replace
vacuum regulator valve and repeat adjustment procedure. d. Remove gauge block tool. e. Connect
throttle return spring and throttle cable. f.
Apply 20 in Hg of vacuum to the vacuum regulator valve and while maintaining vacuum, cycle
throttle lever from idle to the wide open throttle position 5 times. The vacuum gauge should indicate
at least 13 in Hg (throttle at idle position).
g. If vacuum gauge indicates less than 13 in Hg the vacuum regulator valve must be replaced and
the new valve adjusted. h. After necessary adjustment procedure has been completed, remove
vacuum pump and gauge from vacuum regulator valve. Reconnect vacuum
connector.
i. Start engine and check operation of throttle. Check transmission shifts.

Line Pressure Coasting Regulator and Boost Valves
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The line pressure coasting valve has been redesigned and a
new valve, the line pressure coasting regulator valve, has been added to the same bore. These
valves provide improved line pressure coasting boost for greater torque holding ability at the
intermediate band.
Main Oil Pressure Boost Valve
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The pressure boost valve is the same in construction and
operation as the earlier boost valve except for operation during a manual shift from Drive range to 2
or 1 range.
Manual Low 2-1 Scheduling Valve
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION This valve and spring are located in the bore that formerly
housed the 3-2 coasting control valves. When governor pressure on the upper end of the valve
drops to the appropriate value, 2-1 scheduling pressure together with spring force will force the D2
shift valve upwards, effecting a downshift.
Manual Valve
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION One passage controls pressure to the manual valve. The valve
is positioned by the manual linkage according to mode of operation desired.
Primary Throttle Valve
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The primary throttle valve generates throttle pressure in the
same way as earlier models and at the same rate with respect to manifold vacuum.
1-2 Shift Valve Train
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION In construction and operation the 1-2 shift valve train is the
same as the earlier transmission except that the spring end of the D2 valve is pressurized with
manual 2-1 scheduling pressure during a 2-1 or 3-1 manual downshift rather than with line
pressure as in the earlier transmission.
2-3 Backout Valve
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The 2-3 backout valve is functionally the same as the earlier
valve but is slightly different in appearance. The valve has been redesigned so that the spring is
housed in the lower part of the valve. In addition, the lower end of the spring seats in a spring
retainer, and a spring retainer clip retains the entire valve train in the bore.
2-3 Shift Orifice and Check Valve
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION When the manual lever is moved to 2 or 1 to force a 3-2
downshift, the 2-3 shift orifice check ball unseats to allow the release fluid to bypass the orifice and
exhaust without further obstruction.
3-2 Shift Timing Valve
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION This valve moves in response to variations in governor
pressure which is routed to the upper end of the valve. However, the valve is non-functional and its
position does not affect the operation of the control assembly.
With E4OD
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The main control body assembly directs transmission fluid
under pressure to the servo, clutches, and solenoids.

PURPOSE
The transmission solenoid body is used by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to Regulate
Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) pressure, transmission shift points, and converter lock-up on the
E4OD automatic transmission.
OPERATION
The PCM controls the E4OD transmission operation through four on/off solenoids and one Variable
Force Solenoid. These solenoids and Transmission Oil Temperature (TOT) sensor are part of the
transmission solenoid body and are not serviced individually. The TOT sensor is used by the PCM
to monitor transmission temperature.The five solenoids are used to control EPC for transmission
shift and converter lock-up control.

Differential Case: Testing and Inspection
1. Apply a suitable multi-purpose long-life lubricant to side gear thrust washers, hub, thrust face of
side gears, pinion mate gears and spherical
washers.
2. Hold side gears in place in case, then install pinion mate gears and spherical washers. 3. Rotate
side gears until holes in washers and pinion mate gears align with holes in case.
NOTE: If gears cannot be rotated by hand, install an axle shaft into side gear spline and use a pipe
wrench to turn shaft.
4. Use a drift to align holes, then insert pinion mate shaft and drive into case to remove drift,
ensuring lockpin hole in shaft aligns with lockpin holes
in case.
5. Insert lockpin, then peen some metal of case over pin to lock it into place. The semi-float shaft
riding bearing design uses a lockpin that is installed
using a 12 point socket. Use a new lockpin and assemble finger tight. This prevents differential side
gears and differential pinion mate gears from rotating inside case and dropping out when servicing
the carrier section.
NOTE: A new lockpin should be installed after assembling the axle shafts.
6. If applicable, install exciter ring as follows:
a. Align tab in exciter ring with slot in differential case, then thread two ring gear bolts through case
into ring gear to ensure bolt hole alignment.
Tab on exciter ring must be aligned with slot in differential case.
b. Press exciter ring and ring gear onto differential case. Ring gear acts as a pilot for exciter ring. c.
Apply threadlock and sealer part No. E0AZ-19554-AA, or equivalent, to new ring gear bolts.
7. Attach ring gear to differential case using new bolts, then tighten bolts alternately and evenly. 8.
Clean trunnions on differential and install bearings onto differential case. Remove all burrs and
nicks from hubs so bearings rotate freely.

Pinion Gear: Testing and Inspection Depth Gauge Inspection
Fig. 15 Depth Gauge Tool Selection
NOTE: It is important to use the correct tools for particular axle assemblies. If any gauge surfaces
become nicked, high spots must be removed with a medium India oilstone to ensure no erroneous
readings.
1. Place a new inner pinion bearing over proper aligning adapter and insert into pinion bearing
retainer assembly. Place outer pinion bearing into
bearing cup in carrier and assemble handle onto screw and hand tighten. Note 3/8 inch square
drive in handle to be used for obtaining proper pinion bearing preload. To preload bearings, Torque
handle to 20-40 inch lb.
2. Center proper gauge tube into differential bearing bore, install bearing caps and tighten to
specifications. 3. Using suitable feeler gauges, select thickest feeler gauge that will enter between
gauge tube and gauge block. Insert feeler gauge directly along
gauge block to ensure a correct reading. Feeler gauge fit between gauge tube and gauge block
should be a slight drag-type feeling.
4. After correct feeler gauge feel is obtained, thickness of feeler gauge used to obtain slight
drag-type feel is the thickness of shims required,
provided new pinion gear is marked with a zero (0). If new pinion gear is marked with a plus (+)
reading, the plus (+) amount stamped on pinion gear must be subtracted from thickness dimension
obtained in preceding step. If new pinion gear is marked with a minus (-) reading, the minus (-)
amount stamped on pinion gear must be added to thickness dimension obtained in preceding step.
Also, you must use exact same new inner pinion bearing that was used to obtain this dimension.
5. Remove inner pinion bearing cup and install correct thickness of shims into carrier bore, then
reinstall bearing cup and oil slinger and/or baffle, if
required.

Pinion Gear: Testing and Inspection Pinion & Ring Gear Backlash Inspection
Fig. 10 Total Differential Case Endplay Inspection
1. Place differential case into position in carrier (differential case bearings should still be installed).
2. Force differential case away from drive pinion gear until it is completely seated against cross
bore face of carrier. Position a dial indicator so
indicator tip rests on a ring gear bolt head. Zero the dial indicator.
3. Force ring gear against pinion gear. Rock ring gear slightly to ensure gear teeth are in contact,
then force ring gear away from pinion gear,
ensuring dial indicator returns to zero. Repeat this procedure until dial indicator reading is the
same. This reading should be recorded as measurement "B" and reveals amount of shims
necessary between differential case and differential bearing on ring gear side.
4. Assemble shim pack for ring gear side to measurement "B." 5. Subtract measurement "B" from
measurement "A" obtained in "Differential Case Endplay Inspection" See: Differential Case/Testing
and
Inspection to obtain measurement "C." Measurement "C" equals amount of shims required
between differential case and bearing on side opposite of ring gear.
6. Assemble shim pack for side opposite of ring gear to measurement "C" plus (+) 0.015 in. 7.
Remove differential case from carrier, then the bearings from case. 8. Place required amount of
shims on hub of ring gear side of differential case, then install bearing and drive bearing onto hub
using a suitable
differential side bearing replacer.
9. Place required amount of shims on hub of differential case opposite of ring gear side, then install
bearing. Place a suitable step plate on ring gear
side bearing to protect bearing, then drive bearing opposite of ring gear side onto hub using
differential side bearing replacer.
10. Install differential bearing cups onto bearings. 11. Mount spreader tool No. 4000-E and tool No.
T80T-4000-B, or equivalents, onto carrier assembly. 12. Position a dial indicator onto carrier, then
spread housing. Do not spread housing more than 0.015 in. 13. Install differential case into carrier.
If necessary, use a rawhide or plastic hammer to seat case in carrier bore. With partial and
non-hunting/partial
ring gear and pinion sets, align marks on ring gear and drive pinion, if applicable. Use care not to
nick teeth of ring gear or pinion.

14. Remove spreader and dial indicator. 15. Install bearing caps and bolts, ensuring letters or
numbers stamped on caps correspond in both position and direction with letters or numbers
stamped into carrier, then tighten bolts to 80-90 ft lb.
Fig. 17 Ring Gear & Pinion Backlash Inspection
16. Install dial indicator on case. 17. Check ring gear and pinion backlash at three equally spaced
points on ring gear. Backlash tolerance is 0.005-0.009 inch and cannot vary more
than 0.003 inch between the three points.
18. If backlash is high, ring gear must be moved closer to pinion by moving shims to ring gear side
from opposite side. 19. If backlash is low, ring gear must be moved away from pinion by moving
shims from ring gear side to opposite side. 20. Install new cover gasket and cover plate, then the
mounting bolts and tighten to 30-40 ft lb.

Pinion Gear: Adjustments
Two separate adjustments affect drive pinion and ring gear tooth contact: pinion depth and pinion
to ring gear backlash.
Pinion depth is controlled by a pinion locating shim pack installed between drive pinion inner
bearing cup and carrier housing. This shim pack and inner oil slinger controls the position of the
pinion. Adding shims moves pinion toward ring gear and removing shims moves pinion away from
ring gear.
Pinion to ring gear backlash is controlled by preload shims located between the differential bearing
cup and carrier.
Fig.11 Ring & Pinion Identification
On the button of each drive pinion is marked a plus (+), a minus (-) or a zero (0). These markings
indicate the position for each gear set. The position is determined by amount of shims between
inner pinion bearing cup and carrier bearing bore. Any pinion depth change is made by changing
amount of shims.
If the original gear set is being reused, measure the slinger and each shim separately and add
each shim measurement to total original measurement. Replace old shims with new shims that
equal this measurement, if necessary.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4931
^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.

noises are a turbocharger or airflow around an antenna.
Wind Noise Any noise caused by air movement in, out or around the vehicle.
WOT Wide-open throttle
Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4937
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4938
g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4939
engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4941
Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4945
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4946
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4947
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4948
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4949
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5019
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

^ The pinion gear depth is correct. Decrease the differential ring gear backlash.
Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Manual Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, M/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5073
^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.
Glossary of Terms
Acceleration-Light An increase in speed at less than half throttle.
Acceleration-Medium An increase in speed at half to nearly full throttle, such as 0-97 km/h (0-60
mph) in approximately 30 seconds.

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Manual Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, M/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5079
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5080
g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Manual Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, M/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5081
engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Manual Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, M/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5083
Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Manual Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, M/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5087
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5088
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Manual Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, M/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5089
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Manual Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, M/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5090
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Manual Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, M/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5091
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.
Once the concern is narrowed down to a symptom/condition. proceed to NVH Condition and

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5161
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

^ The pinion gear depth is correct. Decrease the differential ring gear backlash.
Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

Powertrain/Drivetrain Mount Neutralizing
WARNING:
The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can

PURPOSE
Used as an input to determine shift schedule and Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) for
temperature effects.
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor is a temperature-sensitive device called a
thermistor it is located in the solenoid body assembly it sends a voltage signal to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). The voltage signal varies with the transmission fluid temperature.
OPERATION
The PCM uses the voltage signal to determine whether a cold start shift schedule is necessary.
The cold start shift schedule lowers shift speeds to allow for the reduced performance of cold
engine operation. The TFT is part of the transmission solenoid assembly and is not replaced
separately.

DESCRIPTION
The Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) Solenoid is a Variable Force Solenoid. The VFS-type
solenoid is an electro-hydraulic actuator combining a solenoid and a regulating valve.
OPERATION
The EPC solenoid supplies Electronic Pressure Control which regulates transmission line pressure
and line modulator pressure. This is done by producing resisting forces to the main regulator and
the line modulator circuits. These two pressures control the clutch application pressures.
CAUTION: The electronic pressure control pressure output from the variable force solenoid is NOT
adjustable. Any modification to the electronic pressure control solenoid will affect the transmission
warranty.

Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor
PURPOSE
Used as an input to determine shift schedule and Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) for
temperature effects.
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor is a temperature-sensitive device called a
thermistor it is located in the solenoid body assembly it sends a voltage signal to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). The voltage signal varies with the transmission fluid temperature.
OPERATION
The PCM uses the voltage signal to determine whether a cold start shift schedule is necessary.
The cold start shift schedule lowers shift speeds to allow for the reduced performance of cold
engine operation. The TFT is part of the transmission solenoid assembly and is not replaced
separately.

Anti-Lock Brake System Module: Description and Operation Four Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System
(4WABS)
PURPOSE
The antilock brake electronic control module monitors the brake on/off switch and the system
speed sensors to determine when the antilock brake system should be engaged.
In addition, the electronic control module provides a speed signal to the Programmable
Speedometer/Odometer Module (PSOM).
DESCRIPTION
It is an on-board diagnostic, non-repairable unit consisting of two microprocessors and necessary
circuitry for their operation. These microprocessors are programmed identically. The antilock brake
electronic control module monitors system operation during normal driving as well as during
antilock braking.
OPERATION
Under normal driving conditions, the microprocessors produce short test pulses to check the
electrical system without any mechanical reaction. The antilock brake electronic control module
continuously monitors the speed of each wheel to determine if any wheel is beginning to lock.
When a wheel locking tendency is detected, the antilock brake electronic control module signals
the appropriate solenoid valve in the antilock hydraulic control unit to open or close as well as the
pump motor to turn on and recycle brake fluid back to the brake master cylinder. This results in
moderate pulsations of the brake pedal and pump noise which may be heard in the passenger
compartment. During normal braking, the brake pedal feel will be identical to a standard brake
system.
Most concerns which occur to the antilock brake system will be stored as a coded number in the
Keep-Alive Memory (KAM) of the antilock brake electronic control module. This means that once a
code is stored, it will be retained by the antilock brake electronic control module even with the key
in the OFF position. The codes can be retrieved by following the on-board diagnostic procedures.

Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Description and Operation Hydraulic Assembly
OPERATION
Sensing a potential wheel lockup, the Rear Antilock Brake (RABS) module will activate the isolation
solenoid within the RABS valve assembly, isolating the rear wheel cylinders from the master
cylinder, so that brake pressure cannot increase.
If pickup potential is still present with the isolation valve activated, the RABS module will energize
the dump solenoid within the RABS valve assembly with rapid pulses to bleed off wheel cylinder
fluid into an accumulator built into the RABS valve assembly, reducing rear wheel speed and
allowing the rear wheels to spin back up to vehicle speed.
The isolation and dump solenoids will continue to be pulsed by the RABS module to keep the rear
wheels rotating during braking.
When the brake pedal is released, the isolation valve assembly de-energizes and any brake fluid in
the accumulator is returned to the master cylinder.

Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Description and Operation Pressure Regulating
Valve, ABS
PURPOSE
The brake pressure control valve regulates the hydraulic pressure in the rear brake system.
OPERATION
When the brake pedal is applied, the full brake fluid pressure passes through the brake pressure
control valve to the rear brake system until the valve's split point is reached. Above its split point,
the brake pressure control valve begins to reduce the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes,
creating a balanced braking condition between the front and rear wheels to minimize rear wheel
lockup during hard braking.
CONSTRUCTION
The brake pressure control valve is an integral part of the brake master cylinder, located between
the rear brake system's inlet and outlet ports in the main valve.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Priming Brake System
When a brake master cylinder (2140) has been installed, or the brake system emptied or partially
emptied, fluid may not flow from the wheel cylinder bleeder screws during normal bleeding. It may
be necessary to prime the brake master cylinder using the following procedure:
1. Use a tubing wrench to remove the front brake tube (2264) and the brake master cylinder outlet
rear tube from the brake master cylinder. 2. Install short brake tubes in the brake master cylinder
and position them so that they curve into the brake master cylinder reservoir, and the ends of
the tubes are submerged in brake fluid.
3. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir (2K478) with new Ford High-Performance DOT 3 Brake
Fluid C6AZ-19542-AA or -BA or DOT 3
equivalent meeting Ford specification ESA-M6C25-A.
CAUTION: Brake fluid is harmful to painted and plastic surfaces. If brake fluid is spilled onto a
painted or plastic surface, immediately wash it with water.
4. Have an assistant pump the brakes until clear, bubble-free fluid flows from both brake tubes. 5.
Remove the short brake tubes and reinstall the front brake tube and brake master cylinder outlet
rear tube (2B253) on the brake master cylinder. 6. Bleed each brake tube at the brake master
cylinder using the following procedure:
a. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal (2455) 10 times and then hold firm pressure on the
brake pedal. b.Loosen the rearmost brake tube fittings with a tubing wrench until a stream of brake
fluid comes out. Have an assistant maintain pressure on the brake pedal until the brake tube fitting
is tightened again. c. Repeat this operation until clear, bubble-free fluid comes out from around the
tube fitting. Refill the brake master cylinder reservoir as
necessary.
d. Repeat this bleeding operation at the front brake tube fittings.
7. If any of the brake tubes, disc brake calipers (2B120), or rear wheel cylinders have been
removed, it may be helpful to prime the system by gravity
bleeding. This should be done after the brake master cylinder is primed and bled. To gravity bleed
the brake system:
a. Fill the brake master cylinder with new Heavy-Duty Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AA or -BA or DOT
3 equivalent meeting Ford specification
ESA-M6C25-A.
b. Loosen both of the wheel cylinder bleeder screws and leave them open until clear brake fluid
flows. Be sure to check the brake master
cylinder reservoir fluid level often and do not let it run dry.
c. Tighten the wheel cylinder bleeder screws (2208) to 7-9 Nm (61-87 in lb). d. One at a time,
loosen the caliper bleeder screws. Leave the bleeder screws open until clear fluid flows. Check the
fluid level often in the
brake master cylinder reservoir and do not let it run dry.
e. Tighten the caliper bleeder screws to 17-24 Nm (12-17 ft lb).
8. After the brake system has been primed, bleed the brake system at each wheel (1007).

Brake Pedal Assy: Adjustments
On brake master cylinder or dash-mounted power brake booster equipped vehicles, the brake
systems are designed to permit a full stroke of the master cylinder when the brake pedal is fully
depressed. A brake pedal clearance adjustment is not required.
To release the brakes, fluid must flow back to the master cylinder through a return port when pedal
pressure is released. To be sure the piston moves back far enough to expose the return port,
free-travel is built into the pedal linkage on standard booster systems. This prevents the piston from
becoming trapped in a partially released position. Pedal-free travel is not always perceptible in
dash-mounted booster systems, because the operating clearance for the piston is adjusted at the
booster push rod, rather than the pedal linkage.

and Operation
Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation
Service Brakes
The brake warning light in the instrument cluster is used to warn of system malfunctions. The red
warning light for the brakes can indicate three conditions: The parking brake is not fully released.
- The brake fluid level is low in the master cylinder reservoir.
- The vacuum pressure is low on diesel engine vehicles.
Diesel vehicles use a low vacuum indicator switch. The low vacuum indicator switch is located on
the left side of the engine compartment near the vacuum pump. The low vacuum indicator switch
will turn on the brake warning lamp when a low vacuum situation occurs.
Rear Anti-Lock Brakes
The yellow anti-lock brake indicator lights up for approximately two seconds when the key is first
moved to RUN or START for circuit proveout. The indicator also lights up when the RABS module
detects a malfunction in the system.
The self-test feature contains codes that indicate the area of the malfunction. When a malfunction
is detected, the RABS control module shuts down the system and the yellow anti-lock warning
indicator comes on. This permits normal braking. A code can be retrieved by momentarily
grounding the diagnostic pigtail (black with orange stripe wire) after it is disconnected from KAM
(keep-alive power red wire) and counting the flashes of the yellow ABS lamp. To make sure the
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is not lost from memory, the key must be left in the RUN position
before the diagnostic lead is disconnected from KAM power. If more than one diagnostic trouble
code exists, only the first code stored will be displayed. Additional codes will be output only after
the first fault is corrected.

Brake Caliper: Fundamentals and Basics Removal Notes
When Removing the Caliper, Remember...
- Prior to removing the calipers, remove/siphon brake fluid from master-cylinder until the reservoir
is only 1/3 full.
- Brake fluid will remove paint and damage electrical connections. Use a drip pan and fender
covers to protect the vehicle's finish and electrical system.
- Always replace all brake linings on an axle. Never replace only one wheel. Unequal lining
thickness between wheels on the same axle will result in a strong steering pull when the brakes are
applied.
- Work on one side at a time. If you forget how to reassemble the parts you can always use the
other side as a model.
- When forcing the piston back into the caliper, open the bleeder valve first. Corrosion and other
deposits accumulate inside of the caliper. If the bleeder valve is not opened when the piston is
forced back into the caliper, these deposits will be forced back through the brake lines and into the
master-cylinder.
- When pushing the pistons back into the caliper with the bleeder screw open, a stream of brake
fluid will be expelled from the bleeder screw for 2-3 feet. Use a drip pan and be careful not to
"shoot" brake fluid onto the vehicle's finish. A cleaner method is to use a piece of clear plastic hose
and a glass or plastic jar to catch the expelled fluid.
- Upon removal, Do Not allow the calipers to hang by the flexible brake hoses. The brake hoses
can be damaged easily by this practice. These hoses are double walled, damage to the interior
pressure hose will not be visible.
- Do not depress the brake pedal with either caliper removed from the rotor. The caliper pistons will
be inadvertently expelled from the caliper. If this occurs rebuild or replace the caliper, do not
attempt to insert the piston back into the caliper.

Brake Caliper: Fundamentals and Basics Installation Notes
WHEN INSTALLING CALIPERS AND PADS, REMEMBER...
- Clean and lubricate caliper slide joint/pins with high temperature silicone grease:
Unlike drum brakes, disc brakes do not utilize a spring to withdraw the pads/linings when the brake
pedal is released. Disc brakes rely on the elasticity of the piston seals, and the unrestricted
movement of the caliper slide assemblies to release the brakes.
If the slide joints/pins are not cleaned and lubricated properly the disc brake linings will drag upon
the release of the brake pedal. This will result in overheated brakes and premature brake wear.
Disc Brake Mechanical Force Diagram
NOTE: Floating calipers require free and unrestricted movement on the caliper mounting. Floating
or sliding calipers have pistons only on one side of the rotor. The first part of the piston's travel
forces the inner pad against the rotor, then further travel forces the movable part of the caliper to
pull the outer pad against the rotor.
High temperature silicone lubricant must be used. Low temperature grease can melt and
contaminate the pads and rotors, or can bake into a very hard substance which binds the slides.
Petroleum based grease can cause the slide boots to soften and swell.
- Work on one side at a time. If you forget how to reassemble the parts you can always use the
other side as a model.
Anti-squeal Coating
- Apply an anti-squeal coating to the back side of the pads/linings. This coatings acts as an
insulator to dampen high frequency vibrations that are generated during normal braking. These
compounds are highly effective in preventing brake squeal.
- Many professional repair shops recommend always rebuilding or replacing the calipers when
replacing the brake linings, because:
When the pistons are forced back into the calipers, the piston seals are dragged across any
corrosion or abrasives that may be deposited on the inside of the caliper.
Damage to the seals may not be initially evident. As the new brake linings begin to wear, the piston
is gradually withdrawn from the caliper. This results in the piston seals again being dragged across
the layer of corrosion and deposits.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Caliper > Component Information >
Fundamentals and Basics > Removal Notes > Page 5395
Calipers which are not rebuilt or replaced have a higher probability of sticking or leaking.
- Check to ensure the bleeder screw is not frozen prior to reinstalling caliper. Freeing a stuck
bleeder screw is much easier with the caliper removed from the vehicle.

Testing and Inspection
Brake Pad: Testing and Inspection
1. Inspect brake shoes and brake shoe and lining (2001) for wear. If the lining is worn to within
3mm (1/8 inch) of the shoe, replace all (four) shoe
and lining assemblies (complete axle set) on front wheels as required.
2. Do not attempt to clean or restore any oil or grease-soaked brake shoes and linings. When
contaminated brake shoes and linings are found, they
must be replaced in complete axle sets.

ISSUE: Hub-mount brake rotor machining equipment from Rotunda is now approved for warranty
and service use. Brake roughness consists of one or more of the following symptoms while
braking:
^ Steering wheel vibration/nibble
^ vibration
^ Brake pedal pulsation
Brake roughness is caused by:
^ Uneven rotor wear known as Disc Thickness Variation (DTV). DTV is caused by excessive
Lateral Run-Out (LRO) or overtorqued wheel lug nuts
^ Non-uniform lining transfer
ACTION: Use Rotunda Hub-Mount Lathe / Pro-Cut (201-00002) to service vehicles with brake
roughness. The hub-mount lathe removes DTV, lining transfer, and on-vehicle rotor LRO. The
hub-mount lathe has the following advantages over caliper-mount lathes:
^ Improved rotor LRO and "dishing" tolerances
^ Ability to machine rear rotors on live axles, except for trucks with dual rear wheels
^ Easier set-up

ISSUE: Repeat brake repairs have been performed due to sanding of brake rotors and drums. The
sanding of rotors and drums may have been done in reference to a Service Manual or TSB article
which prescribes sanding as a repair, however, sanding is neither an effective nor lasting repair for
customer complaints of brake roughness or noise.
ACTION: Machine brake rotors and drums instead of sanding to help reduce brake roughness
caused by one of the following conditions:
^ Rotor thickness variation and lateral runout
^ Lining or foreign material build-up
^ Drum out-of-round

Brake Rotor/Disc: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
A front disc brake rotor shield (2K004), bolted to the front wheel spindle (3105), protects the
bearings and inboard surface of the front disc brake hub and rotor (1102) from road splash. The
wheel protects the outboard surface of the front disc brake hub and rotor and disc brake caliper
(2B120).

Ford Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component Information
> Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
Brake Rotor/Disc: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
NOTE: Grease or any other foreign material must be kept off the brake shoe and lining (2001)
surfaces of the rotor and external surfaces of the front disc brake hub and rotor (1102) during
service operations. In handling the front disc brake hub and rotor and disc brake caliper (2B120)
assemblies, avoid deformation of the front disc brake hub and rotor and nicking or scratching of
brake shoes and linings.
PURPOSE
In the manufacturing of the brake rotor all the tolerances regarding surface finish, parallelism, and
lateral runout are held very closely. The maintenance of these tolerances provide the surface
necessary to prevent brake roughness.
Light scoring of the rotor surface not in excess of 0.38 mm (0.015-inch) in depth is normal. This
condition does not affect the brake operation.
Some discoloration or wear of the disc surface is normal and does not require re-surfacing when
linings are replaced.
SPECIFICATIONS - See: Specifications
LATERAL RUNOUT
Lateral runout is the movement of the rotor from side to side as it rotates on the spindle. This could
also be referred to as "rotor wobble".
This movement causes the brake pad and piston to be knocked back into it's bore. This results in
additional pedal travel and a vibration during braking.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component Information
> Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 5418
Checking Lateral Runout 1. Tighten the wheel bearings to eliminate all freeplay. 2. Attach a dial
indicator to a solid non-rotating portion of the hub assembly or suspension.
- The point of the styles must contact the rotor face about 25 mm (1-inch) from the rotor edge.
3. Move the rotor one complete rotation and observe the dial indicator.
4. Rotate the bezel on the dial indicator such that "0" is at the low deflection point. 5. Again rotate
the rotor at least one complete turn and observe the needle deflection. Total needle deflection will
equal lateral runout. 6. Readjust the wheel bearings.
MINIMUM THICKNESS
The thickness of a rotor is important for two reasons: 1. Rotors which are too thin are not able to
properly absorb and release heat during heavy braking. This results in reduced braking capacity
and
brake fade.
2. Rotors worn below minimum thickness in combination with worn pads/linings can result in the
caliper piston extending too far becoming
cocked or jammed.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component Information
> Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 5419
Rotor thickness should be measured at the thinnest point on the rotor. Any rotor which is worn
below its minimum thickness should be replaced.
For accurate measurements, it is best to remove the caliper to allow for complete access to the
inboard side of the rotor. For more information on how to use a disc brake micrometer see
Fundamentals and Basics.
PARALLELISM
Parallelism is the measurement of the thickness of the rotor at 12 or more points around the
circumference of the rotor. All measurements must be made at the same distance in from the edge
of the rotor.
Lack Of Parallelism

Ford Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component Information
> Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 5420
Lack Of Parallelism
MACHINING
Since accurate control of the rotor tolerances is necessary for proper performance of the disc
brakes, machining of the rotor should be done only with precision equipment.
All brake rotors have a minimum thickness dimension cast into them. This dimension is the
minimum wear dimension and not a refinish dimension. Do not use a brake rotor that will not meet
the specifications, after refinishing. Replace with a new brake rotor.
NOTE: 1 inch = 25.4mm, so if your micrometer measures in inches and the specified thickness on
the disc is in millimeters, convert millimeters to inches by dividing the specified number of
millimeters by 25.4.
Example: Specification on disc is 17.8 mm. Dividing 17.8mm by 25.4mm/in = 17.8/25.4 = 0.70
inches.

Brake Rotor/Disc: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
WARNING: Never install a front disc brake rotor that has been turned to minimum wear or discard
thickness.
Measure the thickness of the front disc brake rotor to determine if it is within specifications. Front
disc brake rotor minimum (discard) thickness is stamped on the front disc brake rotor. Front disc
brake rotors have a minimum thickness dimension (minimum wear thickness or discard thickness).
This is not the refinishing dimension.

Brake Rotor/Disc: Service and Repair Installation
Wheel bearing lubricant is a lithium-base grease. Sodium-base grease is not compatible with
lithium-base grease and should not be intermixed. Therefore, do not lubricate front and/or rear
wheel bearings without first identifying the type of original wheel bearing lubricant. Usage of
incompatible bearing lubricants may result in premature lubricant breakdown.
1. If a new hub and rotor will be installed, remove the protective coating, any dirt or grease deposits
with brake parts cleaner or degreaser.
2. Pack the inside of the hub with lithium-base grease or equivalent. Fill the hub until the grease is
flush with the inside diameters of both bearing
cups. Pack the bearing cones and rollers with wheel bearing grease. Use a bearing packer for this
operation. If a packer is not available, work as much lubricant as possible between the rollers and
cages. Lubricate the cone surfaces with grease.
Installing Grease Seal (Typical)
3. Place the inner bearing cone and roller in the inner cup and install the new grease seal. Be sure
that the seal is fully seated.
4. Install the hub and rotor on the wheel spindle. Keep the hub centered on the spindle to prevent
damage to the grease retainer or the spindle threads.
5. Install the outer bearing cone and roller and the flat washer on the spindle, then install the
adjusting nut, and adjust the wheel bearing.
6. Install the retainer, new cotter pin, and grease cap.
7. Install the caliper.

ROTOR MACHINING
Do not machine, cut or true up new front disc brake hub and rotors prior to installation on vehicle.
Making a light cut on a new front disc brake hub and rotor may cause excessive runout and result
in brake shudder several thousand miles later. It is best to clean oil film off new front disc brake hub
and rotor with Brake Cleaner or equivalent install it on vehicle.
Never use a brake lathe that cuts only one face of the front disc brake hub and rotor at a time. It
must be a simultaneous straddle cut. All front disc brake hub and rotor refinishing must adhere to
the rule that equal amounts of front disc brake hub and rotor stock are removed from each braking
surface each time a front disc brake hub and rotor is refinished.
On-vehicle brake lathes, machine the front disc brake hub and rotor while it is on the hub and is
turning on the same axis as the hub. This procedure reduces front disc brake hub and rotor lateral
runout to near zero by cutting the front disc brake hub and rotor perpendicular to the axis of the
hub, therefore cancelling the affect of stacked tolerance of the front disc brake hub and rotor and
front wheel spindle. Follow the on-vehicle brake lathe manufacturer's instructions on machining
procedures.
A bench-mounted disc brake lathe machines the disc brake hub and rotor to the axis of the lathe
arbor and will not reduce total lateral runout associated with stacked tolerances of the front disc
brake hub and rotor and front wheel spindle. Follow manufacturer's instructions on machining
procedures.
With both types of brake lathes, set cutting tool to just contact the high spots on the front disc brake
hub and rotor then adjust cutting tool to the minimum depth required to clean up the front disc
brake hub and rotor face. The total material removed (combination of both sides) must not exceed
the minimum discard thickness that is marked on the inside of the front disc brake hub and rotor.
To improve initial brake pedal feel and surface finish on a machined front disc brake hub and rotor,
lightly sand rotor surface with 120 grit paper prior to road testing.

Brake Rotor/Disc: Service and Repair Runout Check
Rotor Run-out Check
NOTE: Whenever brake front disc brake hub and rotor has been separated from hub face, clean
any rust or foreign material from mating surface on hub face and front disc brake hub and rotor.
Failure to do this may result in increased lateral runout of the front disc brake hub and rotor and
brake pulsation.
Install front disc brake hub and rotors on hubs and hold in place by using inverted wheel lug nuts
and washers to seat front disc brake hub and rotors to hubs. Tighten wheel lug nuts to 115-142 Nm
(85-105 ft lb).
Using a dial indicator D78P-4201-B, or equivalent, measure front disc brake hub and rotor lateral
runout as shown. The dial indicator should be centered on brake surface. Rotate front disc brake
hub and rotor while measuring runout. If runout is greater than 0.08mm (0.003 inch), front disc
brake hub and rotor must be repositioned (indexing) on hub to obtain the lowest possible runout.

ISSUE: Repeat brake repairs have been performed due to sanding of brake rotors and drums. The
sanding of rotors and drums may have been done in reference to a Service Manual or TSB article
which prescribes sanding as a repair, however, sanding is neither an effective nor lasting repair for
customer complaints of brake roughness or noise.
ACTION: Machine brake rotors and drums instead of sanding to help reduce brake roughness
caused by one of the following conditions:
^ Rotor thickness variation and lateral runout
^ Lining or foreign material build-up
^ Drum out-of-round
NOTE:
DO NOT MACHINE OR SAND ROTORS/DRUMS TO REDUCE OCCASIONAL BRAKE NOISE. IT
IS NEITHER AN EFFECTIVE OR LASTING REPAIR.

Brake Drum: Testing and Inspection
VISUAL INSPECTION
Inspect the drum for cracks. If any large, through-the-drum cracks are located the drum must be
replaced.
NOTE: Cracks in drums are often difficult to locate. To quickly determine if a drum is cracked lightly
drop the drum (from a height of 4-5 inches) onto a flat hard surface. A cracked drum will make a
dull thud sound while a good drum will make a ringing sound.
Inspect for signs of overheating. An overheated drum will often be discolored (blue/gold), warped,
or heat checked. Heat checks are small cracks in the drum friction surface. Heat checks can be
removed by resurfacing.
NOTE: The cause of the overheating should be determined prior to replacing the brake shoes or
drums.
Inspect for scoring. Any grooves or scores in excess of 0.008 inches should be resurfaced.
SPECIFICATIONS - See: Specifications
MAXIMUM DIAMETER
Purpose
The thickness of the drum friction surface is directly proportional to the drums ability to absorb and
release heat during braking. As the drum becomes thinner due to normal wear and resurfacing it
looses its ability to absorb and release heat and is more prone to brake fade, distortion, and
cracking.
As the drum wears the inside diameter of the drum increases. The amount of drum thickness lost to
wear is equal to 1/2 the increase in diameter.
How To Measure A brake drum micrometer is used to measure the drum diameter.
- The micrometer scale should be initially set to the original (new) thickness of the drum.
- The base of the micrometer should be placed in the deepest groove in the drum and held steady
while the measuring point is swiveled to find the maximum diameter.
- The base and measuring point should be kept at the same depth in the drum.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Drum Brake System > Brake Drum > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Page 5439
Drum Micrometer
- The measurement should be repeated at 3 or more places around the circumference of the drum
to determine if the drum is out of round. If the measurements differ by more than 0.004 inches the
drum should be resurfaced.
NOTE: A drum which is out of round will cause a pedal pulsation to be felt upon braking.
- The measurement should also be repeated at various depths of the drum to check for a bellmouth
condition. If the measurements differ by more than .010 inches the drum should be resurfaced.
For additional information on how to use a drum micrometer see Fundamentals and Basics.

For additional information see Notes, Warnings, and Hints.
REMOVAL
1. Raise the vehicle so the wheel is clear of the floor. Install safety stands under the axle.
CAUTION: Use of a drum puller or a torch Is not recommended. Drum distortion may result.
2. Remove the wheel and tire assembly. Remove the spring retaining nuts and remove the brake
drum.
3. If the brake drum is rusted to the axle shaft pilot diameter, use coarse sandpaper to remove the
rust build-up, then remove the brake drum.
4. Check the surface of the brake drum. If worn or if brake drum is suspected of having excessive
runout, the brake drum should be machined. After
machining, check maximum diameter (stamped on the outside of the brake drum). Brake drum
must be replaced if diameter is outside maximum limit.
Retracting Brake Shoes
If the brake drum will not come off, insert a narrow screwdriver through the brake adjusting hole in
the brake backing plate, and disengage the brake shoe adjusting lever from the brake adjuster
screw. While holding the brake shoe adjusting lever away from the brake adjuster screw, loosen
the brake adjuster screw with the brake adjusting tool. Loosen the brake adjuster screw only if the
brake drum cannot be removed. Do not burr, chip, or damage the notches in the brake adjuster
screw or the self-adjusting mechanism will not function properly.
If the brake adjuster screw was loosened, check to be sure the brake shoe adjusting lever is still
properly seated In the shoe web.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove the protective coating from a new brake drum with brake parts cleaner.
2. Adjust the brakes.
3. Install the brake drum onto the axle shaft flange or rear hub.
4. Install the retaining clips securely. Install the wheel on the axle shaft flange or rear hub studs
against the brake drum, and tighten to specification.

Brake Drum: Service and Repair Servicing
Minor scores should be removed with sandpaper. Grooves and large scores can only be removed
by machining with special equipment, as long as the braking surface is within specifications
stamped on brake drum outer surface. Any brake drum sufficiently out of round to cause vehicle
vibration or noise while braking, or showing taper should also be machined, removing only enough
stock to true up the brake drum.
After a brake drum is machined, wipe braking surface diameter with a cloth soaked in denatured
alcohol. If one brake drum is machined, the other should also be machined to the same diameter to
maintain equal braking forces.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Priming Brake System
When a brake master cylinder (2140) has been installed, or the brake system emptied or partially
emptied, fluid may not flow from the wheel cylinder bleeder screws during normal bleeding. It may
be necessary to prime the brake master cylinder using the following procedure:
1. Use a tubing wrench to remove the front brake tube (2264) and the brake master cylinder outlet
rear tube from the brake master cylinder. 2. Install short brake tubes in the brake master cylinder
and position them so that they curve into the brake master cylinder reservoir, and the ends of
the tubes are submerged in brake fluid.
3. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir (2K478) with new Ford High-Performance DOT 3 Brake
Fluid C6AZ-19542-AA or -BA or DOT 3
equivalent meeting Ford specification ESA-M6C25-A.
CAUTION: Brake fluid is harmful to painted and plastic surfaces. If brake fluid is spilled onto a
painted or plastic surface, immediately wash it with water.
4. Have an assistant pump the brakes until clear, bubble-free fluid flows from both brake tubes. 5.
Remove the short brake tubes and reinstall the front brake tube and brake master cylinder outlet
rear tube (2B253) on the brake master cylinder. 6. Bleed each brake tube at the brake master
cylinder using the following procedure:
a. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal (2455) 10 times and then hold firm pressure on the
brake pedal. b.Loosen the rearmost brake tube fittings with a tubing wrench until a stream of brake
fluid comes out. Have an assistant maintain pressure on the brake pedal until the brake tube fitting
is tightened again. c. Repeat this operation until clear, bubble-free fluid comes out from around the
tube fitting. Refill the brake master cylinder reservoir as
necessary.
d. Repeat this bleeding operation at the front brake tube fittings.
7. If any of the brake tubes, disc brake calipers (2B120), or rear wheel cylinders have been
removed, it may be helpful to prime the system by gravity
bleeding. This should be done after the brake master cylinder is primed and bled. To gravity bleed
the brake system:
a. Fill the brake master cylinder with new Heavy-Duty Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AA or -BA or DOT
3 equivalent meeting Ford specification
ESA-M6C25-A.
b. Loosen both of the wheel cylinder bleeder screws and leave them open until clear brake fluid
flows. Be sure to check the brake master
cylinder reservoir fluid level often and do not let it run dry.
c. Tighten the wheel cylinder bleeder screws (2208) to 7-9 Nm (61-87 in lb). d. One at a time,
loosen the caliper bleeder screws. Leave the bleeder screws open until clear fluid flows. Check the
fluid level often in the
brake master cylinder reservoir and do not let it run dry.
e. Tighten the caliper bleeder screws to 17-24 Nm (12-17 ft lb).
8. After the brake system has been primed, bleed the brake system at each wheel (1007).

Brake Caliper: Fundamentals and Basics Removal Notes
When Removing the Caliper, Remember...
- Prior to removing the calipers, remove/siphon brake fluid from master-cylinder until the reservoir
is only 1/3 full.
- Brake fluid will remove paint and damage electrical connections. Use a drip pan and fender
covers to protect the vehicle's finish and electrical system.
- Always replace all brake linings on an axle. Never replace only one wheel. Unequal lining
thickness between wheels on the same axle will result in a strong steering pull when the brakes are
applied.
- Work on one side at a time. If you forget how to reassemble the parts you can always use the
other side as a model.
- When forcing the piston back into the caliper, open the bleeder valve first. Corrosion and other
deposits accumulate inside of the caliper. If the bleeder valve is not opened when the piston is
forced back into the caliper, these deposits will be forced back through the brake lines and into the
master-cylinder.
- When pushing the pistons back into the caliper with the bleeder screw open, a stream of brake
fluid will be expelled from the bleeder screw for 2-3 feet. Use a drip pan and be careful not to
"shoot" brake fluid onto the vehicle's finish. A cleaner method is to use a piece of clear plastic hose
and a glass or plastic jar to catch the expelled fluid.
- Upon removal, Do Not allow the calipers to hang by the flexible brake hoses. The brake hoses
can be damaged easily by this practice. These hoses are double walled, damage to the interior
pressure hose will not be visible.
- Do not depress the brake pedal with either caliper removed from the rotor. The caliper pistons will
be inadvertently expelled from the caliper. If this occurs rebuild or replace the caliper, do not
attempt to insert the piston back into the caliper.

Brake Caliper: Fundamentals and Basics Installation Notes
WHEN INSTALLING CALIPERS AND PADS, REMEMBER...
- Clean and lubricate caliper slide joint/pins with high temperature silicone grease:
Unlike drum brakes, disc brakes do not utilize a spring to withdraw the pads/linings when the brake
pedal is released. Disc brakes rely on the elasticity of the piston seals, and the unrestricted
movement of the caliper slide assemblies to release the brakes.
If the slide joints/pins are not cleaned and lubricated properly the disc brake linings will drag upon
the release of the brake pedal. This will result in overheated brakes and premature brake wear.
Disc Brake Mechanical Force Diagram
NOTE: Floating calipers require free and unrestricted movement on the caliper mounting. Floating
or sliding calipers have pistons only on one side of the rotor. The first part of the piston's travel
forces the inner pad against the rotor, then further travel forces the movable part of the caliper to
pull the outer pad against the rotor.
High temperature silicone lubricant must be used. Low temperature grease can melt and
contaminate the pads and rotors, or can bake into a very hard substance which binds the slides.
Petroleum based grease can cause the slide boots to soften and swell.
- Work on one side at a time. If you forget how to reassemble the parts you can always use the
other side as a model.
Anti-squeal Coating
- Apply an anti-squeal coating to the back side of the pads/linings. This coatings acts as an
insulator to dampen high frequency vibrations that are generated during normal braking. These
compounds are highly effective in preventing brake squeal.
- Many professional repair shops recommend always rebuilding or replacing the calipers when
replacing the brake linings, because:
When the pistons are forced back into the calipers, the piston seals are dragged across any
corrosion or abrasives that may be deposited on the inside of the caliper.
Damage to the seals may not be initially evident. As the new brake linings begin to wear, the piston
is gradually withdrawn from the caliper. This results in the piston seals again being dragged across
the layer of corrosion and deposits.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Hydraulic System, Brakes > Brake Caliper > Component
Information > Fundamentals and Basics > Removal Notes > Page 5490
Calipers which are not rebuilt or replaced have a higher probability of sticking or leaking.
- Check to ensure the bleeder screw is not frozen prior to reinstalling caliper. Freeing a stuck
bleeder screw is much easier with the caliper removed from the vehicle.

Brake Fluid: Specifications Brake Fluid Boiling Point Chart
One of the key aspects of brake fluid quality is the temperature at which it boils. A comparison of
the boiling points for DOT 3 (in general), Ford DOT 3 and DOT 5 brake fluids is shown. If brake
fluid boils in the brake system, it forms vapor which reduces the ability of the brake system to
develop hydraulic line pressure. If brake fluid boils, the system acts just like a system with air in the
lines, except that it reverts to normal operation when the brakes cool and the vapor condenses.

NOTE: A newly opened can exceeds all minimum requirements.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture out of the air and must be stored in the original container with the cap
securely fastened. If not, its moisture content will increase and the boiling point will drop. Moisture
also will be absorbed while the fluid is in the brake system, but a properly capped and sealed brake
master cylinder reservoir (2K478) will limit the rate at which this occurs.
NOTE: For more brake fluid information see Fundamentals and basics.

Brake Fluid: Testing and Inspection
Hydraulic brake fluid color must conform with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 116. Under this standard, brake fluids are visually different from other automotive fluids
such as transmission, power steering and engine oil.
The color of the brake fluid in a normal brake system in Service can vary from its original color for
many reasons. Sometimes a brake master cylinder (2140) may show significantly different shades
of color of brake fluid in the brake master cylinder reservoir (2K478). Some of the reasons for the
apparent difference in color in a system are listed below.
^ Brake fluid discoloration can occur due to heat and/or aging. ^ Brake fluid discoloration can exist
when different brands/shades of brake fluid are used in topping off during normal Service. ^ Brake
fluid discoloration can occur through the dissolving of color dye used on brake master cylinder
internal springs in manufacturer's assembly
procedure.
NOTE: Brake fluid contaminated with a hydrocarbon/mineral based fluid (power steering or
transmission fluid) can be detected by an obvious swelling of the brake master cylinder filler cap
gasket. If the swollen gasket condition is present, all brake system rubber parts must be replaced.
All brake tubes must be thoroughly flushed with Ford High Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid
C6AZ-19542-AA or DOT 3 equivalent fluid meeting Ford specification ESA-M6C25-A before the
vehicle goes back into Service.

Flaring A Tube (Flaring-Bar Type)
CAUTION: Copper tubing should not be used in the hydraulic system. Use only SAE J526 or J527
steel tubing, or equivalent.
NOTES:
- If a section of the brake tube is damaged, replace the entire section with steel brake tubing of the
same type, size, shape, and length. Be careful not
to kink or crack the tubing when bending to fit the frame or rear axle forms.
- Double flare brake tubing as described below should provide good leak-proof connections. Always clean the inside of a new brake tube with clean isopropyl alcohol.
1. Cut off and straighten the required length of tube. A tubing cutter tool will simplify making a clean
and square cut. 2. Square off the ends of the tube with a file, and chamfer the end of the tube to be
flared. 3. Insert the tube through appropriate ribbed hole in the bar assembly until the end of the
tube sticks out about as far as the thickness of the adapter
above the bar, or even with the bar, depending on the tool used.
4. Fit the adapter onto the tube and slide the bar into the yoke. Lock the bar in position with the
tube beneath the yoke screw. 5. Form the single flare by tightening the yoke screw securely. 6.
Release the screw and remove the adapter. 7. Form the double flare by tightening the yoke screw
again, with the second adapter fitted, depending on the tool used. 8. Release the screw bar and
flared tube. 9. Inspect the flare for cracks or poor flare form and repeat the process if the flare is not
correct.
Flaring A Tube (Split-Die Type)
CAUTION: Copper tubing should not be used in the hydraulic system. Use only SAE J526 or J527
steel tubing, or equivalent.
NOTES:
- If a section of the brake tube is damaged, replace the entire section with steel brake tubing of the
same type, size, shape, and length. Be careful not
to kink or crack the tubing when bending to fit the frame or rear axle forms.
- Double flare brake tubing as described below should provide good leak-proof connections. Always clean the inside of a new brake tube with clean isopropyl alcohol.

Brake Hose/Line: Service and Repair Service Procedure
Steel tubing is used in the hydraulic lines between the brake master cylinder and the front brake
tube connector and between the rear brake tube connector and the rear wheel cylinders. Steel
tubing is also used to connect the brake master cylinder to the rear brake hose at the rear axle.
Flexible hoses connect the brake tube to the disc brake calipers and to the rear brake tube
connector.
When replacing hydraulic brake tubing, hoses, or connectors, tighten all connections securely.
After replacement, bleed the brake system at the rear wheel cylinders and at the brake master
cylinder. Refer to Brake Bleeding.
Rear Brake Tube Hose Connector
WARNING: Copper tubing should not be used in the hydraulic system. Use only sae J526 or J527
steel tubing, or equivalent.
NOTE: If a section of the brake tube is damaged, Replace the entire section with tubing of the
same type, size, shape, and length. Be careful not to kink or crack the tubing when bending it to fit
the frame or rear-axle forms.

Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Description and Operation
Proportioning Valve
PURPOSE
A proportioning valve, where used, is integral to the master cylinder. It proportions pressure to the
rear system.
OPERATION
The brake pressure control valve regulates the hydraulic pressure in the rear brake system. It is
located between the rear brake system's inlet and outlet ports in the main valve. When the brake
pedal (2455) is applied, the full brake fluid pressure passes through the brake pressure control
valve to the rear brake system until the valve's split point is reached. Above its split point, the brake
pressure control valve begins to reduce the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes, creating a
balanced braking condition between the front and rear wheels to minimize rear wheel lock-up
during hard braking.
In case of the front brake system malfunction, the brake master cylinder fluid control valve has a
bypass feature, which allows full hydraulic pressure to the rear brake system.

Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Testing and Inspection
If there is a brake system concern such as premature rear brake lockup, that cannot be attributed
to the Rear Antilock Brake System (RABS), the cause may be a malfunctioning brake master
cylinder fluid control valve.
Check the brake master cylinder fluid control valve by substituting the suspected bad valve with a
known good one. If the condition persists, recheck the RABS.

Modulator Valve
PURPOSE
The components of the Rear Anti-Lock Brake System (RABS) valve work together to control
pressure to the rear wheel cylinders, inhibiting rear wheel lockup.
CONSTRUCTION
The RABS valve contains an accumulator, dump solenoid, and an isolation valve.

Brakes > Component Information > Description and Operation > Brake Pressure Modulator Valve > Page 5529
Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Description and Operation Hydraulic Assembly
OPERATION
Sensing a potential wheel lockup, the Rear Antilock Brake (RABS) module will activate the isolation
solenoid within the RABS valve assembly, isolating the rear wheel cylinders from the master
cylinder, so that brake pressure cannot increase.
If pickup potential is still present with the isolation valve activated, the RABS module will energize
the dump solenoid within the RABS valve assembly with rapid pulses to bleed off wheel cylinder
fluid into an accumulator built into the RABS valve assembly, reducing rear wheel speed and
allowing the rear wheels to spin back up to vehicle speed.
The isolation and dump solenoids will continue to be pulsed by the RABS module to keep the rear
wheels rotating during braking.
When the brake pedal is released, the isolation valve assembly de-energizes and any brake fluid in
the accumulator is returned to the master cylinder.

Brake Master Cylinder: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
Fluid Level Check
Brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir should be between 4mm (0.16 inch) below the
MAX line on the side of the reservoir and the MAX line. If brake fluid is low, the red BRAKE
indicator will illuminate. To add brake fluid, clean and remove cap and pour clean brake fluid into
the top of the reservoir. Fill to specification mentioned above. Use Heavy-Duty Brake Fluid
C6AZ-19542-AA (ESA-M6C25-A) or DOT 3 equivalent. If brake fluid has to be added often, check
all hydraulic connections for leaks.
Inspection
INSPECTION
Inspect for Leakage
NOTE: The master cylinder should be cleaned thoroughly prior to inspection (several days
preferably). Spilled brake fluid can be easily confused with leakage.
Piston Seals Leakage around the piston seals will seep out from the end of the cylinder and leak down the
outside of the brake booster.
- Inspect for signs of seepage or bubbled paint on the brake booster.
If any leakage is detected the master cylinder should be replaced or overhauled
Brake Line Fittings While someone is applying pressure to the brake pedal, inspect the brake line fittings on the master
cylinder for leakage.
- If the fittings are leaking they should be disassembled and inspected.
Reservoir to Cylinder Gasket Inspect the gasket for signs of leakage or hardening and cracking.
- Overhaul or replace the master cylinder if any leakage is indicated.
Inspect for Oil Contamination.
- Inspect the rubber gasket on the inside of the master cylinder lid. If the gasket is swollen or
bloated, the brake fluid is contaminated with oil.
- Siphon or scoop a small amount of brake fluid out of the master cylinder and place into a
styrofoam cup filled 2/3 of the way with water. Brake fluid will mix with the water while oil
contaminants will float on the surface and dissolve the styrofoam.
NOTE: If any oil contamination is present ALL brake components containing rubber seals will need
to be replaced or overhauled. This includes the master cylinder, both front brake calipers, both rear
wheel cylinders, and all flexible brake hoses.
Verify Hold-Down Bolts Are Tight
- While someone is applying and releasing pressure to the brake pedal, verify the the master
cylinder is tightly secured to the brake booster.
- Retighten hold-down bolts if necessary.
Functional Checks
NOTE: Always bleed the entire brake system and verify the rear brakes are properly adjusted prior
to diagnosing a master cylinder as defective. For additional information see Master Cylinder / Brake
Pedal Relationship.
Check Related Systems Check for proper brake booster operation 1. With the engine "OFF", depress and release the brake
pedal 4-5 times (this bleeds off the vacuum reserve in the booster). 2. Depress the brake pedal
firmly and start the engine.
If the pedal goes down slightly the brake booster is assisting in brake operation. If the pedal does
not go down slightly the brake booster is not assisting in brake operation and should be diagnosed
for problems.
- Check and adjust rear brakes.
- Check all brake lines and brake assemblies for leakage.
Repair all deficiencies with related systems prior to diagnosing the master cylinder as defective.
Check Brake Pedal Travel (Non-Antilock Brake Systems Only) Fully depress the brake pedal and check for the following: The pedal should have a 75% reserve.

Replace the master cylinder if all of the following conditions exist: The brake pedal is not firm with a 75% reserve and - There were no problems with any of the related systems and - The entire brake system has been bled and - The rear brakes are properly adjusted.
Abnormal Conditions
Changes in brake pedal feel or travel are indicators that something could be wrong in the brake
system. Refer to Symptom Charts for abnormal condition diagnosis.
Normal Conditions
The following conditions are considered normal and are not indications that the brake master
cylinder is in need of service.
Condition 1: During normal operation of the master cylinder, the fluid level in the brake master
cylinder reservoir will rise during brake application and fall during release. The net fluid level, i.e.,
after brake application and release, will remain unchanged.
Condition 2: A trace of brake fluid will exist on the booster shell below the master cylinder mounting
flange. This results from the normal lubricating action of the master cylinder bore and seal.
Condition 3: Fluid level will decrease with pad wear.

Brake Master Cylinder: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
Bypass Conditions Test
For the bypass condition test, refer to Pinpoint Test R.
Compensator Port Test
The purpose of the compensator ports in the brake master cylinder is to supply any additional
brake fluid required by the system due to brake pad wear and to allow brake fluid returning from the
brake lines to the brake master cylinder to enter the brake master cylinder reservoir.
The returning brake fluid will cause a slight turbulence in the brake master cylinder reservoir. If
turbulence is seen in the brake master cylinder reservoir upon release of the brake pedal, this is
normal and shows that the compensating ports are not plugged.
Fluid Level Check
Brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir should be between 4mm (0.16 inch) below the
MAX line on the side of the reservoir and the MAX line. If brake fluid is low, the red BRAKE
indicator will illuminate. To add brake fluid, clean and remove cap and pour clean brake fluid into
the top of the reservoir. Fill to specification mentioned above. Use Heavy-Duty Brake Fluid
C6AZ-19542-AA (ESA-M6C25-A) or DOT 3 equivalent. If brake fluid has to be added often, check
all hydraulic connections for leaks.
Non-Pressure Leaks
The only part of the brake system that could have a brake fluid loss that did not appear when the
system is under pressure is the brake master cylinder reservoir area. Brake fluid loss could be
caused by a missing or poorly-fitted brake master cylinder filler cap (2162), from a punctured or
otherwise damaged brake master cylinder reservoir, by a missing or damaged brake master
cylinder filler cap gasket or by missing, damaged or poorly fitted sealing grommets between the
brake master cylinder (2140) and the brake master cylinder reservoir.
The brake master cylinder reservoir grommets are not separately serviceable and must be
replaced with a new brake master cylinder reservoir.
NOTE: 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.
Replace a flexible brake hose if it shows signs of softening, cracking or other damage.
When installing a new brake hose, position the hose to avoid contact with other vehicle parts.

Subject: Safety Recall 95S10 - Certain 1995 Model Year Completed Econoline E250 and E350
Commercial Stripped Chassis' - Parking Brake Front Cable
Affected Vehicles Certain 1995 model year completed Econoline E250 and E350 Commercial
stripped chassis' produced from 12/23/94 through 1/24/95 at Lorain Assembly Plant.
Reasons For Recall Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 105, specifies that the affected
vehicles shall be equipped with a parking brake system capable of holding the vehicle stationary for
5 minutes, in both the forward and reverse direction, on a 20 percent grade. The parking brake
front cables installed by Ford on the affected chassis' are approximately 1.6 inches longer than
intended. As a result, the effectiveness of the parking brake on a severe grade may be diminished,
and vehicles may not fully comply with the above noted FMVSS 105 requirement. To correct this
condition, the parking brake front cable with be replaced. In addition, as an interim measure,
certain units built with this condition were fitted, prior to shipment, with a parking brake intermediate
extension cable that was modified (shortened) to compensate for the longer that intended front
cable. This resulted in a correctly functioning and compliant brake system; however, to maintain
uniformity for future servicing, these vehicles with have the parking brake front cable and also the
intermediate extension cable replaced. Refer to the VIN list for the appropriate repair and required
parts for each vehicle.

Vacuum Brake Booster: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
VISUAL CHECKS
Inspect all hoses and connections. All unused vacuum connectors should be capped. Hoses and
their connections should be properly secured and in good condition with no holes or collapsed
areas.
OPERATIONAL CHECKS
1. Check hydraulic brake system for leaks or insufficient fluid. 2. With transmission (7003) in
NEUTRAL, stop engine (6007) and apply parking brake control (2780). Apply brake pedal (2455)
several times to
exhaust all vacuum in the system.
3. Apply brake pedal and hold it in the applied position. Start engine. If vacuum system is
operating, brake pedal will tend to move downward under
constant foot pressure. If no motion is felt, the power brake booster system is not functioning.
Perform a Booster functional test.
FUNCTIONAL CHECKS
1. Remove vacuum booster hose from power brake booster and check valve connection. Manifold
vacuum should be available at the check valve end
of the vacuum booster hose with engine at idle speed and transmission in NEUTRAL. If manifold
vacuum is available to the power brake booster, connect vacuum booster hose to power brake
booster.
2. With transmission (7003) in NEUTRAL, stop engine (6007) and apply parking brake control
(2780). Apply brake pedal (2455) several times to
exhaust all vacuum in the system.
3. Apply brake pedal and hold it in the applied position. Start engine. If vacuum system is
operating, brake pedal will tend to move downward under
constant foot pressure. If no motion is felt, replace the vacuum booster.
4. Operate engine a minimum of 10 seconds at fast idle. Stop engine, and let vehicle stand for 10
minutes. Then, apply brake pedal with
approximately 89 N (20 lbs) of force. Brake pedal feel should be the same as that noted with
engine operating. If brake pedal feels hard (no power assist), replace check valve and retest. If
brake pedal feels spongy, bleed hydraulic system to remove air. Refer to Brake Bleeding.

Vacuum Brake Booster: Adjustments
NOTE: The push rod has an adjustment screw to maintain the correct relationship between the
booster control valve plunger and the master cylinder piston.
^ If the plunger is too long, it will prevent the master cylinder piston from completely releasing
hydraulic pressure, causing the brakes to drag. ^ If the plunger is too short, it will cause excessive
pedal travel and an undesirable clunk in the booster area. Remove the brake master cylinder for
access to the booster push rod.
Brake Push Rod Adjustment
1. Fabricate a gauge and place it against the master cylinder mounting surface of the booster body
as shown.
2. Adjust the push rod screw by turning it until the end of the screw just touches the inner edge of
the slot in the gauge.

rubber reaction disc from its seat in the booster. Symptoms of a dislodged disc are excessive pedal
travel and extreme power brake sensitivity. If the master cylinder push rod is removed, remove the
booster front seal and look into the booster to where the push rod seats. The disc is black rubber. If
the disc is dislodged, a silver colored plunger will be exposed. If the rubber reaction disc cannot be
located, installed and aligned, then the booster unit must be replaced. NOTE: If power brake
booster is damaged or inoperative, replace it with a new booster. The power brake booster is
serviced only as an assembly, including the check valve.

Anti-Lock Brake System Module: Description and Operation Four Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System
(4WABS)
PURPOSE
The antilock brake electronic control module monitors the brake on/off switch and the system
speed sensors to determine when the antilock brake system should be engaged.
In addition, the electronic control module provides a speed signal to the Programmable
Speedometer/Odometer Module (PSOM).
DESCRIPTION
It is an on-board diagnostic, non-repairable unit consisting of two microprocessors and necessary
circuitry for their operation. These microprocessors are programmed identically. The antilock brake
electronic control module monitors system operation during normal driving as well as during
antilock braking.
OPERATION
Under normal driving conditions, the microprocessors produce short test pulses to check the
electrical system without any mechanical reaction. The antilock brake electronic control module
continuously monitors the speed of each wheel to determine if any wheel is beginning to lock.
When a wheel locking tendency is detected, the antilock brake electronic control module signals
the appropriate solenoid valve in the antilock hydraulic control unit to open or close as well as the
pump motor to turn on and recycle brake fluid back to the brake master cylinder. This results in
moderate pulsations of the brake pedal and pump noise which may be heard in the passenger
compartment. During normal braking, the brake pedal feel will be identical to a standard brake
system.
Most concerns which occur to the antilock brake system will be stored as a coded number in the
Keep-Alive Memory (KAM) of the antilock brake electronic control module. This means that once a
code is stored, it will be retained by the antilock brake electronic control module even with the key
in the OFF position. The codes can be retrieved by following the on-board diagnostic procedures.

Anti-Lock Brake System Module: Description and Operation Rear Anti-Lock Brake System (RABS)
PURPOSE
The Rear Antilock Brake System (RABS) module continuously monitors the rear wheel speed with
a sensor mounted on the rear axle for an impending rear wheel lockup condition during braking.
The RABS Module will modulate hydraulic pressure to the rear brake cylinders to inhibit rear wheel
lockup.
The RABS Module has self-test capabilities much like those in other electronic control systems.

1. Using a suitable ohmmeter, connect one probe to alternator BAT (B+) terminal and the other
probe to the STA terminal (rear blade terminal). Then, reverse the ohmmeter probes and repeat the
test. ^
A reading of about 6.5 ohms should be obtained in one direction and no needle movement with the
probes reversed.
^ A reading in both directions indicates a bad positive diode, a grounded positive diode plate or a
grounded BAT terminal.
2. Perform the same test using the STA and GND (ground) terminals of the alternator. ^
A reading in both directions indicates either a bad negative diode, a grounded stator winding, a
grounded stator terminal, a grounded positive diode plate, or a grounded BAT terminal.
^ Infinite readings (no needle movement) in all four probe positions in the proceeding tests
indicates an open STA terminal lead connection inside the alternator.

1. Using a suitable ohmmeter, connect regulator A blade terminal with one probe and the regulator
"F" terminal screw head with the other probe. 2. Spin the alternator pulley and note meter reading,
then reverse probes and repeat step 1. In one probe direction ohmmeter reading should be
between 2.2 and 100 ohms and may fluctuate while pulley is turning. In the other direction, reading
should fluctuate between 2.2 and approximately 9 ohms.
3. An infinite reading (no meter movement) in one direction and approximately 9 ohms in the other,
indicates an open brush lead, worn or stuck
brushes, faulty rotor or a loose regulator to brush holder attaching screw.
4. An ohmmeter reading less than 2.2 ohms in both directions indicates a shorted or faulty
regulator. 5. An ohmmeter reading significantly over 9 ohms in both directions indicates a faulty
regulator or loose "F" terminal screw. 6. Connect alternator rear housing with one ohmmeter probe
and touch the other probe to the regulator "F" terminal. Reverse probes and repeat test.
Ohmmeter reading should be infinite in one probe direction and approximately 9 ohms in the other.
7. If ohmmeter reads less than infinite at either point, a grounded brush lead, grounded rotor or
faulty regulator is indicated.

Starter Motor: Description and Operation
MITSUBISHI GEAR REDUCTION STARTERS
Exploded View Of Mitsubishi Starter
These starters are 12 volt units that have the solenoid mounted on the starter housing. The
solenoid is energized when starter relay contacts are closed causing starter drive to engage with
flywheel ring gear, thereby starting the engine. An overrunning clutch in the drive protects starter
from excessive speeds once engine starts. The current flows through solenoid energizing coil until
solenoid plunger is at full travel, at which time plunger closes a set of contacts that bypass the
energizing coil, allowing the holding coil to keep starter drive engaged and passing starting current
to the starter.
The gear reduction starter motor is a compact-type starter that uses an integral starter solenoid.
With a gear reduction system, the starter motor is relatively small but still provides the necessary
torque to crank the engine.

Starter Motor: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
Armature Open Circuit Inspection
An open circuit in the armature can sometimes be detected by examining commutator for signs of
burning. A spot burned on the commutator is caused by an arc formed every time a commutator
segment connected to the open circuit winding passes under a brush.
Pinion Inspection
Pinion Travel Check
1. Using two switches and a battery, connect starter as shown. 2. When switches K1 and K2 are
closed the starter drive will be forced outward and the motor will run. If switch K2 is opened, the
starter will stop
turning with the pinion in the full out position.
3. Check pinion end gap in this position. End gap should be 0.004-0.100 inch.

operate smoothly. 3. If starter rotates slowly, check clearance between the armature and starter
housing. Clearance should be 0.001-0.020 inch. Clearance is determined
by the shim behind the bearing in the end cover.
Field Grounded Circuit Test
1. Check insulation between yoke and field terminal using circuit tester. Circuit tester should show
infinite resistance. 2. Ensure there is continuity between lead wires.
Starter Load Test
Starter Load Test Connections
1. Connect test equipment as shown, ensuring that there is no current flowing through ammeter
and heavy duty carbon pile rheostat portion of circuit. 2. Disconnect push on connectors at starter
solenoid and connect remote control starter switch from positive battery cable to S terminal of
starter
solenoid.
3. Crank engine with remote starter switch and determine exact reading on voltmeter. 4. Stop
cranking engine, then reduce resistance of carbon pile until voltmeter indicates same reading as
when engine was cranked. Ammeter should
read less than 500 amps.

coverage.
ISSUE
A "whining"/"buzzing" noise in the speakers of the entertainment radio or two-way radio on vehicles
with an in-tank electric fuel pump may be caused by electrical noise from the fuel pump.
ACTION
Install an electronic noise Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) Filter (F1PZ-18B925-A) on the fuel
pump inside the fuel tank. Refer to the following Test Procedure to confirm that the concern exists,
then refer to the Service Procedure for repair details.

Suppressor] > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest for Radio Capacitor: > 02-16-4 >
Aug > 02 > Audio System - Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 5822
NOTE
IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRONIC RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEM, DO NOT INSTALL A
RFI FILTER INLINE TO THE FUEL PUMP . ONLY VEHICLES WITH MECHANICAL
RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEMS (PRESSURE REGULATOR IN THE TANK), OR SYSTEMS
WITH THE PRESSURE REGULATOR ON THE FUEL RAIL SHOULD BE APPROVED FOR THE
RFI FILTER INSTALLATION.
NOTE
SOME LIGHT TRUCKS REQUIRE ONE (1) RFI FILTER FOR EACH IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL
PUMP ON MULTI-TANK VEHICLES.
NOTE
THIS TSB DOES NOT INCLUDE TAURUS FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES (FFVS) OR 1999
RANGER 3.0L FFVS.
TEST PROCEDURE
Fuel pump radio noise is relatively constant and changes only slightly with vehicle speed. If the
frequency of the noise varies or the noise comes and goes with the vehicle speed, then it is not the
fuel pump and this fix will not be effective. The following procedure will help determine if the fuel
pump is the cause of the radio noise:
1. Turn on the radio before the key is turned on (assuming the radio will operate without the ignition
key - you may need to put the ignition key in the Accessory position).
2. Turn the ignition key to the Run position (do not start the engine).
3. The fuel pump should run for about 1 second with the key in the Run position with the engine not
running. Listen for noise in the radio. If noise is present while the pump is running and stops when
the pump stops, then the noise is being generated by the pump and this procedure should help.

6. Check the appropriate Electrical and Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual (EVTM) (or other service
literature) for the location of the fuel pump ground. If ground is more than 0.9m (3 ') from the tank,
cut wire and ground fuel pump end within 0.9m (3 ') of the tank to prevent ground wire from acting
as an antenna. Be sure ground is secure and protected from corrosion since it is the operating
ground for the fuel pump.
7. Install the fuel tank in the vehicle as outlined in the appropriate Service or Workshop Manual.

coverage.
ISSUE
A "whining"/"buzzing" noise in the speakers of the entertainment radio or two-way radio on vehicles
with an in-tank electric fuel pump may be caused by electrical noise from the fuel pump.
ACTION
Install an electronic noise Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) Filter (F1PZ-18B925-A) on the fuel
pump inside the fuel tank. Refer to the following Test Procedure to confirm that the concern exists,
then refer to the Service Procedure for repair details.

Suppressor] > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Radio Capacitor: >
02-16-4 > Aug > 02 > Audio System - Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 5835
NOTE
IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRONIC RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEM, DO NOT INSTALL A
RFI FILTER INLINE TO THE FUEL PUMP . ONLY VEHICLES WITH MECHANICAL
RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEMS (PRESSURE REGULATOR IN THE TANK), OR SYSTEMS
WITH THE PRESSURE REGULATOR ON THE FUEL RAIL SHOULD BE APPROVED FOR THE
RFI FILTER INSTALLATION.
NOTE
SOME LIGHT TRUCKS REQUIRE ONE (1) RFI FILTER FOR EACH IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL
PUMP ON MULTI-TANK VEHICLES.
NOTE
THIS TSB DOES NOT INCLUDE TAURUS FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES (FFVS) OR 1999
RANGER 3.0L FFVS.
TEST PROCEDURE
Fuel pump radio noise is relatively constant and changes only slightly with vehicle speed. If the
frequency of the noise varies or the noise comes and goes with the vehicle speed, then it is not the
fuel pump and this fix will not be effective. The following procedure will help determine if the fuel
pump is the cause of the radio noise:
1. Turn on the radio before the key is turned on (assuming the radio will operate without the ignition
key - you may need to put the ignition key in the Accessory position).
2. Turn the ignition key to the Run position (do not start the engine).
3. The fuel pump should run for about 1 second with the key in the Run position with the engine not
running. Listen for noise in the radio. If noise is present while the pump is running and stops when
the pump stops, then the noise is being generated by the pump and this procedure should help.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1995-96 E-350
ISSUE: Ambulance conversion companies modify the electrical distribution system in E-350
vehicles with 7.3L DIT engines. These modifications to the original equipment wiring in the area of
the Mega Fuse may decrease the strain relief which results in vibration of the Mega Fuse. This
vibration may lead to breakage of the fuse at the point of highest stress.
ACTION: Replace the Mega Fuse (Figure 1) with a shunt. The shunt should reduce the possibility
of fuse breakage caused by vibration. Refer to the following text for details.
Contact the original conversion company to discuss the replacement of the Mega Fuse. If the
original conversion company approves of the replacement, remove the Mega Fuse and replace it
with a shunt. Torque the Mega Fuse holder to 12-18 N-m (9-13 lb-ft).

ISSUE
A "whining"/"buzzing" noise in the speakers of the entertainment radio or two-way radio on vehicles
with an in-tank electric fuel pump may be caused by electrical noise from the fuel pump.
ACTION
Install an electronic noise Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) Filter (F1PZ-18B925-A) on the fuel
pump inside the fuel tank. Refer to the following Test Procedure to confirm that the concern exists,
then refer to the Service Procedure for repair details.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest: > 02-16-4 > Aug > 02 > Audio System Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 6270
NOTE
IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRONIC RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEM, DO NOT INSTALL A
RFI FILTER INLINE TO THE FUEL PUMP . ONLY VEHICLES WITH MECHANICAL
RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEMS (PRESSURE REGULATOR IN THE TANK), OR SYSTEMS
WITH THE PRESSURE REGULATOR ON THE FUEL RAIL SHOULD BE APPROVED FOR THE
RFI FILTER INSTALLATION.
NOTE
SOME LIGHT TRUCKS REQUIRE ONE (1) RFI FILTER FOR EACH IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL
PUMP ON MULTI-TANK VEHICLES.
NOTE
THIS TSB DOES NOT INCLUDE TAURUS FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES (FFVS) OR 1999
RANGER 3.0L FFVS.
TEST PROCEDURE
Fuel pump radio noise is relatively constant and changes only slightly with vehicle speed. If the
frequency of the noise varies or the noise comes and goes with the vehicle speed, then it is not the
fuel pump and this fix will not be effective. The following procedure will help determine if the fuel
pump is the cause of the radio noise:
1. Turn on the radio before the key is turned on (assuming the radio will operate without the ignition
key - you may need to put the ignition key in the Accessory position).
2. Turn the ignition key to the Run position (do not start the engine).
3. The fuel pump should run for about 1 second with the key in the Run position with the engine not
running. Listen for noise in the radio. If noise is present while the pump is running and stops when
the pump stops, then the noise is being generated by the pump and this procedure should help.

ISSUE
A "whining"/"buzzing" noise in the speakers of the entertainment radio or two-way radio on vehicles
with an in-tank electric fuel pump may be caused by electrical noise from the fuel pump.
ACTION
Install an electronic noise Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) Filter (F1PZ-18B925-A) on the fuel
pump inside the fuel tank. Refer to the following Test Procedure to confirm that the concern exists,
then refer to the Service Procedure for repair details.

Audio System - Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 6307
NOTE
IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRONIC RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEM, DO NOT INSTALL A
RFI FILTER INLINE TO THE FUEL PUMP . ONLY VEHICLES WITH MECHANICAL
RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEMS (PRESSURE REGULATOR IN THE TANK), OR SYSTEMS
WITH THE PRESSURE REGULATOR ON THE FUEL RAIL SHOULD BE APPROVED FOR THE
RFI FILTER INSTALLATION.
NOTE
SOME LIGHT TRUCKS REQUIRE ONE (1) RFI FILTER FOR EACH IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL
PUMP ON MULTI-TANK VEHICLES.
NOTE
THIS TSB DOES NOT INCLUDE TAURUS FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES (FFVS) OR 1999
RANGER 3.0L FFVS.
TEST PROCEDURE
Fuel pump radio noise is relatively constant and changes only slightly with vehicle speed. If the
frequency of the noise varies or the noise comes and goes with the vehicle speed, then it is not the
fuel pump and this fix will not be effective. The following procedure will help determine if the fuel
pump is the cause of the radio noise:
1. Turn on the radio before the key is turned on (assuming the radio will operate without the ignition
key - you may need to put the ignition key in the Accessory position).
2. Turn the ignition key to the Run position (do not start the engine).
3. The fuel pump should run for about 1 second with the key in the Run position with the engine not
running. Listen for noise in the radio. If noise is present while the pump is running and stops when
the pump stops, then the noise is being generated by the pump and this procedure should help.

coverage.
ISSUE
A "whining"/"buzzing" noise in the speakers of the entertainment radio or two-way radio on vehicles
with an in-tank electric fuel pump may be caused by electrical noise from the fuel pump.
ACTION
Install an electronic noise Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) Filter (F1PZ-18B925-A) on the fuel
pump inside the fuel tank. Refer to the following Test Procedure to confirm that the concern exists,
then refer to the Service Procedure for repair details.

NOTE
IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRONIC RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEM, DO NOT INSTALL A
RFI FILTER INLINE TO THE FUEL PUMP . ONLY VEHICLES WITH MECHANICAL
RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEMS (PRESSURE REGULATOR IN THE TANK), OR SYSTEMS
WITH THE PRESSURE REGULATOR ON THE FUEL RAIL SHOULD BE APPROVED FOR THE
RFI FILTER INSTALLATION.
NOTE
SOME LIGHT TRUCKS REQUIRE ONE (1) RFI FILTER FOR EACH IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL
PUMP ON MULTI-TANK VEHICLES.
NOTE
THIS TSB DOES NOT INCLUDE TAURUS FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES (FFVS) OR 1999
RANGER 3.0L FFVS.
TEST PROCEDURE
Fuel pump radio noise is relatively constant and changes only slightly with vehicle speed. If the
frequency of the noise varies or the noise comes and goes with the vehicle speed, then it is not the
fuel pump and this fix will not be effective. The following procedure will help determine if the fuel
pump is the cause of the radio noise:
1. Turn on the radio before the key is turned on (assuming the radio will operate without the ignition
key - you may need to put the ignition key in the Accessory position).
2. Turn the ignition key to the Run position (do not start the engine).
3. The fuel pump should run for about 1 second with the key in the Run position with the engine not
running. Listen for noise in the radio. If noise is present while the pump is running and stops when
the pump stops, then the noise is being generated by the pump and this procedure should help.

NOTE
HEAT SHRINK TUBING MUST BE USED OVER ALL SOLDERED CONNECTIONS MADE PER
THIS TSB. USE SUFFICIENT TUBING (ABOUT 50 mm (2 ")) OF THE SPECIFIED TYPE TO
ENTIRELY COVER EACH SOLDERED CONNECTION AND SHRINK APPROPRIATELY TO
PREVENT EXPOSURE OF THE CONNECTIONS.
NOTE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH EXTREMELY LONG FUEL PUMP GROUND WIRE CIRCUITS, IT
MAY BE NECESSARY TO SHORTEN THE GROUND WIRE TO A POINT CLOSE TO THE FUEL
TANK. IF THE GROUND IS MOVED, BE SURE IT IS SECURE AND PROTECTED FROM
CORROSION SINCE IT IS THE OPERATING GROUND FOR THE PUMP. CHECK SERVICE
LITERATURE (EVTM, ETC.) FOR GROUND LOCATIONS.

4. Secure the RFI filter to the fuel pump and sender assembly with a Bundling Strap (95873-S101)
to prevent rattling in the tank, Figures 1 and 2.
5. Reinstall the fuel pump sender assembly into the fuel tank.
CAUTION
INSTALL NEW GASKETS WHEN REINSTALLING SENDER TO PREVENT LEAKS. REFER TO
THE PARTS CATALOG FOR PROPER APPLICATIONS.
6. Check the appropriate Electrical and Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual (EVTM) (or other service
literature) for the location of the fuel pump ground. If ground is more than 0.9m (3 ') from the tank,
cut wire and ground fuel pump end within 0.9m (3 ') of the tank to prevent ground wire from acting
as an antenna. Be sure ground is secure and protected from corrosion since it is the operating
ground for the fuel pump.
7. Install the fuel tank in the vehicle as outlined in the appropriate Service or Workshop Manual.

MEGA FUSE - VIBRATION CAUSES MEGA FUSE TO OPEN - AMBULANCE CONVERSIONS
WITH 7.3L DIT ONLY
LIGHT TRUCK: 1995-96 E-350
ISSUE: Ambulance conversion companies modify the electrical distribution system in E-350
vehicles with 7.3L DIT engines. These modifications to the original equipment wiring in the area of
the Mega Fuse may decrease the strain relief which results in vibration of the Mega Fuse. This
vibration may lead to breakage of the fuse at the point of highest stress.
ACTION: Replace the Mega Fuse (Figure 1) with a shunt. The shunt should reduce the possibility
of fuse breakage caused by vibration. Refer to the following text for details.
Contact the original conversion company to discuss the replacement of the Mega Fuse. If the
original conversion company approves of the replacement, remove the Mega Fuse and replace it
with a shunt. Torque the Mega Fuse holder to 12-18 N-m (9-13 lb-ft).

ISSUE: Some warranty-replaced electrical parts are being returned to Ford Motor Company with
weather pack connector seals. The seals are needed to keep contaminants out of the connector
and maintain good electrical performance.
ACTION: When replacing electrical parts such as injectors, ICP sensors, glow plug relays, EOT
sensors, etc., make sure the weather pack connector seals (blue, green or gray) are left on the
wiring harness and not returned with the parts.

SUSPENSION - VEHICLE APPEARS TO DOGTRACK - SERVICE TIP
FORD: 1992-2003 E SERIES
Article 00-5-10 is being republished in its entirety to update the vehicle model years.
ISSUE
The customer may report that an E-Series appears to dogtrack. This customer concern is generally
due to unique features of an E-Series that combine to create an optical illusion of dogtracking.
Dogtracking is the condition in which the rear axle is not square to the chassis. Heavily crowned
roads can add to the illusion of dogtracking.
ACTION
Become aware of the unique features that can create the optical illusion of a dogtrack condition.
Follow the Service Procedure to determine if a dogtrack condition exists. If a dogtrack condition
can be verified, follow the Diagnostic Procedure and Repair Instructions to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
DOGTRACK CONDITIONS THAT ARE THE RESULT OF A COLLISION ARE NOT TO BE
ADDRESSED USING THIS TSB. DOGTRACKING THAT IS THE RESULT OF A COLLISION
MUST BE REPAIRED USING GENERALLY ACCEPTED COLLISION REPAIR TECHNIQUES.
NOTE
NEARLY ALL CUSTOMER REPORTS OF DOGTRACKING ARE THE RESULT OF THE OPTICAL
ILLUSION DOGTRACKING THAT IS COMMON ON THE E-Series.
Two unique conditions combine on the E-Series that enhance the optical illusion of dogtracking.
First: Front wheel track center of tire to center of tire is wider than the rear wheel track. A person
traveling behind the vehicle will be able to see both the front wheel and the rear wheel. The rear
wheel will appear to be further toward the center of the vehicle (Figure 1). Front wheel track =
1.76m (69.4), rear wheel track = 1.70m (67.0").
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Customer Interest: > 02-16-8 > Aug > 02 > Steering/Suspension - Apparent 'Dogtracking' > Page 6738
Second: The body of the vehicle is widest in the middle and tapers in toward the front and rear of
the vehicle. The rear width of the vehicle is nearly 10cm (4 ") narrower than the widest section of
the vehicle in the middle. The Supervan (extended length) continues to taper to the rear of the
vehicle and magnifies the optical illusion of dogtracking. Because of the taper of the body, a person
driving behind the vehicle can see the side of the vehicle. ONLY if a true condition of dogtracking is
suspected, follow Service Procedure to verify and repair.
NOTE
ATTEMPTING TO USE THE FOLLOWING SERVICE PROCEDURE TO REDUCE THE
APPEARANCE OF DOGTRACKING ON A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT TRULY DOGTRACKING WILL
LEAD TO ALIGNMENT AND TIRE ISSUES. DO NOT USE THIS PROCEDURE UNLESS A TRUE
DOGTRACK CONDITION IS VERIFIED!
NOTE
SOME NON-FORD AFTERMARKET SPRINGS DO NOT HAVE A CENTER BOLT IN THE LEAF
SPRING, WHICH CAN CAUSE DOGTRACKING BY NOT CENTERING THE AXLE ON THE LEAF
SPRING. UNEVEN LOADING OF THE VEHICLE (LEFT TO RIGHT) CAN ALSO CAUSE
DOGTRACKING.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1. Verify the vehicle dogtracks by measuring the rear axle thrust angle (Figure 2) on the vehicle
with a calibrated 4-wheel alignment machine.
2. Record reading and follow repair instruction based on reading:
a. Thrust angle of 0 to +/- 0.5 degrees
(1) Thrust angle less than 0.5 degrees (32 mm/1.25"centerline difference) is in specification
b. Thrust angle of +/- 0.51 to 0.8 degrees
(1) To modify thrust angle by 0.1 to 0.3 degrees:
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Customer Interest: > 02-16-8 > Aug > 02 > Steering/Suspension - Apparent 'Dogtracking' > Page 6739
(a) Modify the spring center bolt head as shown in Figure 3, on the side of the axle which must be
moved. If the vehicle dogtracks to the right, grind the rear of the right side leaf spring pin. Reverse
for dogtracking to the left. Follow repair instructions.
(b) Adjust the axle by shifting it forward to make contact with the ground pin prior to torque down.
c. Thrust angle of +/- 0.81 to 1.0 degrees
(1) To modify thrust angle by 0.3 to 0.5 degrees:
(a) Modify the spring center bolt head as shown in Figure 3, on both sides of the axle. If the vehicle
dogtracks to the right, grind the rear of the right side leaf spring pin and the front of the left side leaf
spring pin. Reverse for dogtracking to the left. Follow repair instructions.
(b) Adjust the axle so that both ends make contact with the ground pins prior to torque down.
d. Thrust angle of +/- 1.01 or greater
(1) To modify thrust angle by more than 0.5 degrees:
(a) Ensure that 4-wheel alignment is correctly calibrated and re-measure.
(b) If reading is the same, have the frame measured and follow generally accepted collision repair
procedures to straighten frame.
REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE
FOLLOW NORMAL AND CUSTOMARY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN LIFTING A VEHICLE.
TO REVIEW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, REFER TO SECTION 100-02 OF THE E-Series 1998
TO 2003 WORKSHOP MANUAL.
1. Raise the vehicle oft the ground using a frame-mounted hoist or equivalent. Do not hoist the
vehicle using the rear axle as a lift point, as you will need the axle to be free for the repair.
NOTE
PERFORM REPAIR ON ONE SIDE AT A TIME IF ADJUSTMENT TO BOTH SIDES IS
NECESSARY.
2. Support the rear axle with jack stands and then remove the U-bolts which attach the rear axle to
the rear leaf springs on the side of the axle which will be moved. If the thrust angle is large, both
sides of the axle may require adjustment (see diagnostic procedures). Remove the lower shock
absorber and bolt from the axle and lower the jack stand on the side of the axle to be adjusted.

Customer Interest: > 02-16-8 > Aug > 02 > Steering/Suspension - Apparent 'Dogtracking' > Page 6740
3. Using C-clamps, clamp the leaves of the leaf spring together on both sides of the center bolt and
remove the bolt (Figure 4).
4. Reinstall the center bolt and torque the nut to 70 +/- 10 N.m (52 +/- 7 Lb-ft). Push the axle the
maximum distance in the direction required to reduce the thrust angle and tighten the U-bolt nuts:
115.5 +/- 17.5 N.m (85 +/- 13 Lb-ft) for 14 mm nuts, 175 +/- 27 N.m (129 +/- 20 Lb-ft) for 16 mm
nuts.
5. Reattach the shock absorber and torque to 79 N.m (58 Lb-ft).

can be verified, follow the Diagnostic Procedure and Repair Instructions to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
DOGTRACK CONDITIONS THAT ARE THE RESULT OF A COLLISION ARE NOT TO BE
ADDRESSED USING THIS TSB. DOGTRACKING THAT IS THE RESULT OF A COLLISION
MUST BE REPAIRED USING GENERALLY ACCEPTED COLLISION REPAIR TECHNIQUES.
NOTE
NEARLY ALL CUSTOMER REPORTS OF DOGTRACKING ARE THE RESULT OF THE OPTICAL
ILLUSION DOGTRACKING THAT IS COMMON ON THE E-Series.
Two unique conditions combine on the E-Series that enhance the optical illusion of dogtracking.
First: Front wheel track center of tire to center of tire is wider than the rear wheel track. A person
traveling behind the vehicle will be able to see both the front wheel and the rear wheel. The rear
wheel will appear to be further toward the center of the vehicle (Figure 1). Front wheel track =
1.76m (69.4), rear wheel track = 1.70m (67.0").

Second: The body of the vehicle is widest in the middle and tapers in toward the front and rear of
the vehicle. The rear width of the vehicle is nearly 10cm (4 ") narrower than the widest section of
the vehicle in the middle. The Supervan (extended length) continues to taper to the rear of the
vehicle and magnifies the optical illusion of dogtracking. Because of the taper of the body, a person
driving behind the vehicle can see the side of the vehicle. ONLY if a true condition of dogtracking is
suspected, follow Service Procedure to verify and repair.
NOTE
ATTEMPTING TO USE THE FOLLOWING SERVICE PROCEDURE TO REDUCE THE
APPEARANCE OF DOGTRACKING ON A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT TRULY DOGTRACKING WILL
LEAD TO ALIGNMENT AND TIRE ISSUES. DO NOT USE THIS PROCEDURE UNLESS A TRUE
DOGTRACK CONDITION IS VERIFIED!
NOTE
SOME NON-FORD AFTERMARKET SPRINGS DO NOT HAVE A CENTER BOLT IN THE LEAF
SPRING, WHICH CAN CAUSE DOGTRACKING BY NOT CENTERING THE AXLE ON THE LEAF
SPRING. UNEVEN LOADING OF THE VEHICLE (LEFT TO RIGHT) CAN ALSO CAUSE
DOGTRACKING.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1. Verify the vehicle dogtracks by measuring the rear axle thrust angle (Figure 2) on the vehicle
with a calibrated 4-wheel alignment machine.
2. Record reading and follow repair instruction based on reading:
a. Thrust angle of 0 to +/- 0.5 degrees
(1) Thrust angle less than 0.5 degrees (32 mm/1.25"centerline difference) is in specification
b. Thrust angle of +/- 0.51 to 0.8 degrees
(1) To modify thrust angle by 0.1 to 0.3 degrees:

(a) Modify the spring center bolt head as shown in Figure 3, on the side of the axle which must be
moved. If the vehicle dogtracks to the right, grind the rear of the right side leaf spring pin. Reverse
for dogtracking to the left. Follow repair instructions.
(b) Adjust the axle by shifting it forward to make contact with the ground pin prior to torque down.
c. Thrust angle of +/- 0.81 to 1.0 degrees
(1) To modify thrust angle by 0.3 to 0.5 degrees:
(a) Modify the spring center bolt head as shown in Figure 3, on both sides of the axle. If the vehicle
dogtracks to the right, grind the rear of the right side leaf spring pin and the front of the left side leaf
spring pin. Reverse for dogtracking to the left. Follow repair instructions.
(b) Adjust the axle so that both ends make contact with the ground pins prior to torque down.
d. Thrust angle of +/- 1.01 or greater
(1) To modify thrust angle by more than 0.5 degrees:
(a) Ensure that 4-wheel alignment is correctly calibrated and re-measure.
(b) If reading is the same, have the frame measured and follow generally accepted collision repair
procedures to straighten frame.
REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE
FOLLOW NORMAL AND CUSTOMARY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN LIFTING A VEHICLE.
TO REVIEW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, REFER TO SECTION 100-02 OF THE E-Series 1998
TO 2003 WORKSHOP MANUAL.
1. Raise the vehicle oft the ground using a frame-mounted hoist or equivalent. Do not hoist the
vehicle using the rear axle as a lift point, as you will need the axle to be free for the repair.
NOTE
PERFORM REPAIR ON ONE SIDE AT A TIME IF ADJUSTMENT TO BOTH SIDES IS
NECESSARY.
2. Support the rear axle with jack stands and then remove the U-bolts which attach the rear axle to
the rear leaf springs on the side of the axle which will be moved. If the thrust angle is large, both
sides of the axle may require adjustment (see diagnostic procedures). Remove the lower shock
absorber and bolt from the axle and lower the jack stand on the side of the axle to be adjusted.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

Page 6762
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The

engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.

Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Page 6766
Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

Page 6769
To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Technical Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure >
Page 6770
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

Technical Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure >
Page 6771
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Technical Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure >
Page 6772
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Technical Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure >
Page 6773
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Technical Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure >
Page 6774
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Pinpoint Tests
The pinpoint tests are a step-by-step diagnostic process designed to determine the cause of a
condition. It may not always be necessary to follow a pinpoint test to its conclusion. Carry out only
the steps necessary to correct the condition. Then, test the system for normal operation.
Sometimes, it is necessary to remove various vehicle components to gain access to the component
requiring testing. For additional information, REFER to the appropriate Workshop Manual section
for removal and installation procedures. Reinstall all components after verifying system operation is
normal.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

6. Tighten all the exhaust hanger clamps and flanges (tighten the exhaust manifold flange joint
last).
^ Verify there is adequate clearance to prevent grounding at any point in the system. Make sure
that the catalytic converter and heat shield do not contact the frame rails.
^ After neutralization. the rubber in the exhaust hangers should show some flexibility when
movement is applied to the exhaust system.
^ With the exhaust system installed securely and cooled. the rear hanger should be angled
forward.
7. Lower the vehicle.
8. Test the exhaust system for normal operation.
Wheel Bearing Check

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

6862
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The

engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.

Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Other Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page
6870
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

6871
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.

^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.

^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Pinpoint Tests
The pinpoint tests are a step-by-step diagnostic process designed to determine the cause of a
condition. It may not always be necessary to follow a pinpoint test to its conclusion. Carry out only
the steps necessary to correct the condition. Then, test the system for normal operation.
Sometimes, it is necessary to remove various vehicle components to gain access to the component
requiring testing. For additional information, REFER to the appropriate Workshop Manual section
for removal and installation procedures. Reinstall all components after verifying system operation is
normal.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

SUSPENSION - VEHICLE APPEARS TO DOGTRACK - SERVICE TIP
FORD: 1992-2003 E SERIES
Article 00-5-10 is being republished in its entirety to update the vehicle model years.
ISSUE
The customer may report that an E-Series appears to dogtrack. This customer concern is generally
due to unique features of an E-Series that combine to create an optical illusion of dogtracking.
Dogtracking is the condition in which the rear axle is not square to the chassis. Heavily crowned
roads can add to the illusion of dogtracking.
ACTION
Become aware of the unique features that can create the optical illusion of a dogtrack condition.
Follow the Service Procedure to determine if a dogtrack condition exists. If a dogtrack condition
can be verified, follow the Diagnostic Procedure and Repair Instructions to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
DOGTRACK CONDITIONS THAT ARE THE RESULT OF A COLLISION ARE NOT TO BE
ADDRESSED USING THIS TSB. DOGTRACKING THAT IS THE RESULT OF A COLLISION
MUST BE REPAIRED USING GENERALLY ACCEPTED COLLISION REPAIR TECHNIQUES.
NOTE
NEARLY ALL CUSTOMER REPORTS OF DOGTRACKING ARE THE RESULT OF THE OPTICAL
ILLUSION DOGTRACKING THAT IS COMMON ON THE E-Series.
Two unique conditions combine on the E-Series that enhance the optical illusion of dogtracking.
First: Front wheel track center of tire to center of tire is wider than the rear wheel track. A person
traveling behind the vehicle will be able to see both the

front wheel and the rear wheel. The rear wheel will appear to be further toward the center of the
vehicle (Figure 1). Front wheel track = 1.76m (69.4), rear wheel track = 1.70m (67.0").
Second: The body of the vehicle is widest in the middle and tapers in toward the front and rear of
the vehicle. The rear width of the vehicle is nearly 10cm (4 ") narrower than the widest section of
the vehicle in the middle. The Supervan (extended length) continues to taper to the rear of the
vehicle and magnifies the optical illusion of dogtracking. Because of the taper of the body, a person
driving behind the vehicle can see the side of the vehicle. ONLY if a true condition of dogtracking is
suspected, follow Service Procedure to verify and repair.
NOTE
ATTEMPTING TO USE THE FOLLOWING SERVICE PROCEDURE TO REDUCE THE
APPEARANCE OF DOGTRACKING ON A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT TRULY DOGTRACKING WILL
LEAD TO ALIGNMENT AND TIRE ISSUES. DO NOT USE THIS PROCEDURE UNLESS A TRUE
DOGTRACK CONDITION IS VERIFIED!
NOTE
SOME NON-FORD AFTERMARKET SPRINGS DO NOT HAVE A CENTER BOLT IN THE LEAF
SPRING, WHICH CAN CAUSE DOGTRACKING BY NOT CENTERING THE AXLE ON THE LEAF
SPRING. UNEVEN LOADING OF THE VEHICLE (LEFT TO RIGHT) CAN ALSO CAUSE
DOGTRACKING.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1. Verify the vehicle dogtracks by measuring the rear axle thrust angle (Figure 2) on the vehicle
with a calibrated 4-wheel alignment machine.
2. Record reading and follow repair instruction based on reading:
a. Thrust angle of 0 to +/- 0.5 degrees

Alignment: Service and Repair Ride Height
1. Prior to checking caster and camber, ensure vehicle front ride height is within 1/8 inch side to
side.
Fig. 1 Measuring Ride Height
a. If the vehicle ride heights are not within specifications, redistribute load on loaded vehicles or
slightly load empty vehicles on one side. b. If the ride heights cannot be brought within
specifications, verify correct spring installation. c. The ride height variations stated are for checking
purposes only. The vehicle does not have to operate within these specifications. d. 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.
2. If all the above checks have been made, check wheel alignment with suitable alignment
equipment. 3. Using the ride heights obtained earlier, compare caster and camber readings to
those listed in the Wheel Alignment Specifications. 4. If the caster and camber angles exceed the
specifications, inspect front end for damaged suspension components. Replace as necessary.
NOTE: 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.

Steering Gear: Description and Operation
Fig. 1 Ford Integral Power Steering Gear
The Ford XR-50 power steering unit is a torsion bar type of hydraulic-assisted system. This system
furnishes power to reduce the amount of turning effort required at the steering wheel. It also
reduces road shock and vibrations.
Fig. 2 Ball And Nut Housing
The unit includes a worm and one piece rack-piston which is meshed to the gear teeth on the
steering sector shaft. The unit also includes a hydraulic valve, actuator, input shaft and torsion bar
assembly which are mounted on the end of the worm shaft and operated by a twisting action of the
torsion bar.
This rotary valve type gear, uses a one piece rotary valve and sleeve assembly. Therefore no
centering shims are used and no adjustment is possible. This makes possible internal fluid
passages between valve and cylinder, thus eliminating all external lines and hoses except the
pressure and return hoses between pump and gear. The power cylinder is an integral part of the
gear housing. The piston is double acting in that fluid pressure may be applied to either side of the
piston.

Rotary Valve Centering Inspection
Steering Gear: Adjustments Rotary Valve Centering Inspection
1. Install a 2000 psi pressure gauge in pressure line between pump outlet port and steering gear
inlet port. Make sure valve on gauge is in fully open
position.
2. Check fluid level in reservoir and replenish as required. 3. Start engine and cycle steering wheel
from stop-to-stop to bring steering lubricant up to normal operating temperature. Stop engine and
recheck
reservoir. Add fluid as necessary.
4. With engine running at a fast idle speed (1000 RPM) and steering wheel centered, attach an
inch pound torque wrench to steering wheel retaining
nut. Apply sufficient torque to wrench in each direction (either side of center) to get a gauge
reading of 250 psi.
5. Torque reading should be the same in both directions. If difference between readings exceeds 6
in lb, remove steering gear from vehicle and
replace shaft and control assembly. The "out-of-vehicle" procedure for centering check is the same
as for the "in-vehicle" except torque and simultaneous pressure reading must be made at right and
left stops instead of either side of center.

Steering Gear: Adjustments Sector and Rack Teeth Lash
NOTE: Preload (thrust bearing adjustment) and worm-to-rack preload cannot be changed in
service. The only adjustment that can be performed is the total overcenter position load to eliminate
excessive lash between sector and rack teeth.
1. Disconnect pitman arm from sector shaft. 2. Disconnect fluid return line at reservoir and cap
reservoir return line pipe. 3. Place end of return line in a clean container and cycle steering wheel
in both directions as required to discharge fluid from gear. 4. Carefully remove airbag assembly
from steering wheel hub, then turn steering wheel 45 degrees from right stop. 5. Using an inch
pound torque wrench on steering wheel nut, determine torque required to rotate shaft slowly
through approximately 1/8 turn from 45
degrees position.
6. Turn steering gear back to center, then determine torque required to rotate shaft back and forth
across center position. 7. Adjust if meshload required to rotate shaft back and forth across center
position is less than 7 in lb greater than the force required to rotate shaft
from 45 degrees to stop. Loosen adjusting nut and turn adjusting screw until reading is 10-14 in lb
greater than torque measured 45 degrees from stop. Hold screw in place, then tighten locknut.
8. Check readings, then install pitman arm and steering wheel cover. 9. Connect fluid return line
and replenish reservoir.

Axle Beam: Description and Operation
Fig. 1 Twin I-beam Front Axle
Fig. 2 Twin I-beam Front Axle
These vehicles use two I-beam type axles, one for each front wheel. One end of each axle is
attached to the spindle and a radius arm and the other end is attached to a frame pivot bracket on
the opposite side of the vehicle.
Each spindle is held in place on the axle by ball joints or a spindle bolt which pivots in bushings
pressed in the upper and lower ends of the spindle. On models equipped with spindle bolts, a
thrust bearing is installed between the lower end of the axle and the spindle to support the load on
the axle. On all models, a spindle arm is installed on each spindle for attachment to the steering
linkage.

BALL JOINT - PROPER INSPECTION PROCEDURE
FORD: 1992-1999 ECONOLINE
ISSUE A high number of ball joints are being replaced as the result of routine inspections or of
complaints of tire wear and loose feelings in the steering system. Most of these parts are within
specification and did not need replacement. There is a misunderstanding about how an
Econoline/E-Series ball joint should feel and about how much movement is acceptable.
ACTION Use proper inspection procedures and understand the acceptable amounts of movement
within the ball joint. This action helps to avoid unnecessary replacement of ball joints at either
customer or Ford Motor Company expense. Refer to the following Service Procedure for correct
ball joint inspection details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
DO NOT REPLACE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS THAT ARE WITHIN SPECIFICATION.
Inspect Econoline/E-Series ball joints by lifting the vehicle and supporting the front axles on jack
stands. Refer to the 1999 Econoline Workshop Manual, Section 100-02, for proper lifting
techniques.
Prior to performing any inspection of the ball joints, inspect the front wheel bearings for proper
adjustment as follows:
1. Make sure the wheel rotates freely and the brake pads are retracted sufficiently to allow
movement of the tire and wheel assembly.
2. Grasp each front tire at the top and bottom and move the wheel inward and outward while lifting
the weight of the tire off the front wheel bearing.
3. If the tire and wheel (hub) is loose on the wheel spindle or does not rotate freely, adjust the front
wheel bearing. For additional information, refer to the Workshop Manual, Section 206-03.
NOTE
SKIPPING INSPECTION OF THE WHEEL BEARINGS MAY RESULT IN FALSE READINGS ON
BALL JOINT MOVEMENT. THIS MAY LEAD TO UNNECESSARY PARTS REPLACEMENT.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7137
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7138
g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7139
engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

^ Squeak and rattle grease tube
Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7141
Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7145
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7147
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7148
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7149
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Pinpoint Tests
The pinpoint tests are a step-by-step diagnostic process designed to determine the cause of a
condition. It may not always be necessary to follow a pinpoint test to its conclusion. Carry out only
the steps necessary to correct the condition. Then, test the system for normal operation.
Sometimes, it is necessary to remove various vehicle components to gain access to the component
requiring testing. For additional information, REFER to the appropriate Workshop Manual section
for removal and installation procedures. Reinstall all components after verifying system operation is
normal.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7219
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7254
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7255
g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The

engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

^ Squeak and rattle grease tube
Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7258
Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7262
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7263
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the

Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7265
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7266
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.

Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7353
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The

engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.

the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7357
Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7360
To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7361
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7362
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7363
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7364
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7365
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Pinpoint Tests
The pinpoint tests are a step-by-step diagnostic process designed to determine the cause of a
condition. It may not always be necessary to follow a pinpoint test to its conclusion. Carry out only
the steps necessary to correct the condition. Then, test the system for normal operation.
Sometimes, it is necessary to remove various vehicle components to gain access to the component
requiring testing. For additional information, REFER to the appropriate Workshop Manual section
for removal and installation procedures. Reinstall all components after verifying system operation is
normal.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7453
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7454
g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7455
engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

^ Squeak and rattle grease tube
Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7461
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7462
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7463
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7464
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7465
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.
Once the concern is narrowed down to a symptom/condition. proceed to NVH Condition and
Symptom Categories.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7535
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

Wheel Bearing Check
1. WARNING:
The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can
result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
Raise the vehicle until the front tires are off the floor.
^ Make sure the wheels are in a straight forward position.
2. Note:
Make sure the wheel rotates freely and that the brake pads are retraced sufficiently to allow free
movement of the tire and wheel assembly.
Spin the tire by hand to check the wheel bearings for roughness.

3. Grip each front tire at the top and bottom and move the wheel inward and outward while lifting
the weight of the tire off the front wheel bearing.
4. If the tire and wheel (hub) is loose on the spindle, does not rotate freely, or has a rough feeling
when spun, carry out one of the following:
^ On vehicles with inner and outer bearings, Inspect the bearings and cups for wear or damage.
Adjust or install new bearings and cups as necessary.
^ On vehicles with one sealed bearing, install a new wheel hub. Refer to the appropriate workshop
manual for the service procedures.

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Fastener > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Lug Nuts - Proper Installation/Torqueing Procedure > Page 7570
^ 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.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Fastener > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Lug Nuts - Proper Installation/Torqueing Procedure > Page 7571
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.

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 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Condenser HVAC > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Air Conditioning - Approved Flushing Procedures > Page 7635
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.

e. Insert completed assembly into drill and tighten chuck securely.
f. Coat the abrasive strip in appropriate refrigerant oil.
g. Roll abrasive strip around cleaning tool (Figure 3).
NOTE:
DO NOT ALLOW THE DRILL SPEED TO EXCEED 1500 RPM AS TOOL SEPARATION MAY
OCCUR.
h. Using a variable speed drill set at a low speed, slowly insert cleaning assembly into the female
coupling. Clean using a moderate speed for approximately 1 minute or until surface is clean.
Maintain low speed drill rotation while removing the cleaning assembly to prevent axial scratches,
which may cause future leaks.
NOTE:
IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE A LINT FREE CLOTH TO PREVENT MATERIAL FIBERS FROM
REMAINING ON THE 0-RING SEALING SURFACE AND CAUSING FUTURE LEAKS.
i. Remove all cleaning residue from the coupling using a lint free cloth.
j. Inspect O-ring sealing surface for grooves. If grooves or scratches cannot be removed, replace
the component.
5. Inspect the male SLC O-ring grooves for scratches, corrosion, or debris from O-ring
deterioration. Remove any surface residue from the O-ring grooves by cleaning using the following
procedure (Steps 5a-5b):
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Coupler HVAC > A/C Coupler O-ring > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > A/C - New O Ring Applications > Page 7648
a. Loop the 12" length of natural fiber string around SLC and clean O-ring sealing surface (Figure
4).
b. Remove all cleaning residue using a lint free cloth.
NOTE:
ONLY USE NEW GREEN 0-RINGS. THE USE OF ANY 0-RING SEALS OTHER THAN

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 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Evaporator Core > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Air Conditioning - Approved Flushing Procedures > Page 7676
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.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct the referenced Step for the cleaning
procedure.
ISSUE: An "on-vehicle" air conditioning evaporator core leak test is required before replacing any
A/C evaporator core within the warranty period.
ACTION: Perform the "on-vehicle" air conditioning evaporator core leak test before replacing the
evaporator core. Refer to the following Evaporator Core Leak
Test Procedure.
EVAPORATOR CORE LEAK TEST PROCEDURE
NOTE:
ALL FITTINGS REQUIRED TO PERFORM THE LEAK TEST ARE INCLUDED IN TEST ADAPTER
KIT D93L-1 9703-B OR EQUIVALENT.
CAUTION:
DISCONNECT THE LIQUID LINE AND SUCTION ACCUMULATOR FROM THE EVAPORATOR
CORE TUBES. DO NOT LEAK TEST AN EVAPORATOR CORE WITH THE SUCTION
ACCUMULATOR ATTACHED TO THE CORE TUBES. REFRIGERANT OUTGASSING FROM OIL
AND DESICCANT IN THE ACCUMULATOR WILL INDICATE A FALSE LEAK CONDITION.
1. Verify that the manifold gauge set is capable of holding vacuum.
a. Connect the RED and BLUE hoses together using a 1/4" (6.35 mm) flare coupling.
b. Connect the gauge set YELLOW hose to a known good vacuum pump.
c. Turn the vacuum pump ON and open both gauge set valves.
d. Operate the vacuum pump for 1 minute and close both gauge set valves. The low side gauge
should indicate approximately 30" of vacuum.
e. Allow the gauge set, with vacuum applied, to sit for at least 30 minutes.
f. If the gauge reading drops during that time, the gauge set hose connections, gauges, or valves
are leaking and should be repaired before proceeding with the leak test.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Evaporator Core > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Air Conditioning - Approved Flushing Procedures > Page 7678
2. Clean the evaporator core tube fittings.
a. For threaded connections, wipe any dirt or debris from the sealing surfaces with a clean lint-free
rag.
b. If the evaporator core tube fittings are the female Spring Lock design, check the inside of each
fitting for scratches, corrosion, or debris from deteriorated 0-rings.
c. If scratches, corrosion, or debris are found, the leak test results may not be accurate unless the
fitting is properly cleaned. Refer to Step 3 for cleaning procedure.
3. Clean the Spring Lock fittings as follows:
a. Remove any surface residue from the inside of the female Spring Lock Coupling by polishing
with 400 grit emery cloth or equivalent.
b. Polish the female surface by using a twisting motion so that any scratches made will not cross
the 0-ring sealing surface. See Figure 1.
c. Perform additional polishing of surface using 600 grit emery cloth or equivalent.
d. Remove all residue from the polishing operations by wiping the fittings with a lint-free rag.
e. Connect the appropriate test fittings from Test Adapter Kit D93L-19703-B, or equivalent, to the
evaporator tube connections.
5. Connect the RED and BLUE hoses from the manifold gauge set to the test fittings on the
evaporator core. Connect the YELLOW hose to a known quality vacuum pump.
NOTE:
THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF VALVES ON SOME GAUGE SET HOSES DO NOT OPEN WHEN
CONNECTED TO THE TEST FITTINGS. IF AVAILABLE, USE HOSES WITHOUT SHUTOFF
VALVES. IF HOSES WITH SHUTOFF VALVES ARE USED, CHECK TO BE SURE THE VALVE
OPENS WHEN ATTACHED TO THE TEST FITTINGS OR INSTALL AN ADAPTER WHICH WILL
ACTIVATE THE VALVE. THE TEST IS NOT VALID IF THE SHUTOFF VALVE DOES NOT OPEN,
ONLY THE HOSE WILL BE TESTED.
6. Open both gauge set valves and start the vacuum pump.
a. Turn the A/C system blower on low to allow the vacuum pump to operate for a minimum of 45
minutes after the gauge set low pressure gauge indicates 30" Hg. The 45 minute evacuation is
necessary to remove any refrigerant from oil left in the evaporator core.
b. If the refrigerant is not completely removed from the oil, outgassing will occur and degrade the
vacuum and appear as a refrigerant leak.
7. If the low pressure gauge reading will not drop to 30" Hg when the valves on the gauge and
manifold set are open and the vacuum pump is operating, close the gauge set valves and observe
the low pressure gauge. If the pressure rises rapidly to zero, a large leak is indicated. Recheck the
test fitting connections and gauge set connections before replacing the evaporator core.
8. The following information is helpful in determining if a leak is present.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Evaporator Core > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Air Conditioning - Approved Flushing Procedures > Page 7679
^ If the low pressure gauge reading rises 10 or more inches of vacuum from the 30" position in 10
minutes, a leak is indicated.
^ If a very small leak is suspected, wait 30 minutes and observe the vacuum gauge.
^ If a small amount of vacuum is lost, operate the vacuum pump with the gauge valves open for an
additional 30 minutes with the system blower on low to remove any remaining refrigerant from the
oil in the evaporator core. Then, recheck for loss of vacuum as outlined.
^ If a very small leak is suspected, allow the system to sit overnight with vacuum applied and check
for vacuum loss.
NOTE:
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT A LEAKING FITTING, GAUGE SET OR HOSE CONNECTION WILL
APPEAR AS A LEAKING EVAPORATOR CORE.
9. If the evaporator core does leak, as verified by the above procedure, install a new evaporator
core. Follow the appropriate Service Manual procedure.

Expansion Valve: Description and Operation
REAR AUXILIARY HEATER AND A/C
Thermostatic Expansion Valve
PURPOSE
An A/C evaporator expansion valve (19849) automatically regulates the flow of refrigerant into the
A/C evaporator core (19860) in the auxiliary heater and air conditioner assembly. It also is the
dividing point in the system between high and low pressure refrigerant.
OPERATION
The temperature sensing bulb, clamped to the suction (outlet) tube on the A/C evaporator core,
measures the temperature of the refrigerant in the suction tube and transmits the temperature
variation to the A/C evaporator expansion valve. This temperature variation regulates refrigerant
flow to the A/C evaporator core. When the bulb senses a high temperature, the A/C evaporator
expansion valve opens and floods refrigerant through the A/C evaporator core. When the bulb

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
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Refrigerant > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > A/C - Identification of Non Approved Refrigerants > Page 7709
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.

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
ON 1993-94 RANGER/EXPLORER VEHICLES, TECHNICIANS MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTY
WHEN CONNECTING THE PANCAKE FILTER HOSE FITTINGS TO THE EVAPORATOR INLET
WITH THE ORIFICE TUBE INSTALLED. REMOVE THE OFFICE TUBE AND RUN THE SYSTEM
FOR 1 HOUR AS DESCRIBED IN THE FILTERING PROCEDURE. REINSTALL THE ORIFICE
TUBE AFTER FILTERING IS COMPLETE.
CAUTION
FOLLOW ALL REFRIGERANT SYSTEM SAFETY AND SERVICE PRECAUTIONS OUTLINED IN
THE APPROPRIATE SERVICE OR WORKSHOP MANUAL.
1. Before removing any refrigerant system components, recover the refrigerant from the system
following the recycling methods outlined In the appropriate Service/Workshop Manual.
2. Remove the suction accumulator/drier assembly and drain the oil into a calibrated container.
3. Install a new suction accumulator/drier and add new refrigerant oil to replace the old oil. The
quantity of the new oil to be added is the amount to match that drained from the old accumulator
plus 60 mL (2 oz). Refer to the Dealer Master Parts Catalog for the correct suction
accumulator/drier part number.
CAUTION
REMEMBER TO USE MOTORCRAFT YN-9-A REFRIGERANT COMPRESSOR OIL WITH R-12
SYSTEMS AND MOTORCRAFT YN-12-C REFRIGERANT COMPRESSOR OIL WITH R-134a
SYSTEMS. FAILURE TO USE THE CORRECT REFRIGERANT OIL MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE
TO SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
4. Install a new orifice tube. Refer to the Dealer Master Parts Catalog for the correct orifice tube
part number. If the orifice tube in the vehicle is located in the liquid line between the condenser and
the evaporator, replace the liquid line assembly.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Refrigerant Filter > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > A/C - Filtering Refrigerant After Compressor Replacement > Page 7725
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.

Air Bag: Description and Operation
The driver side air bag module is mounted in the center of the steering wheel. The module consists
of:
- Inflator
- Airbag
- Mounting plate and retainer ring
- Steering wheel trim cover
Inflator
When the sensors close, signaling a crash, electric current flows to the air bag inflator. Inside the
inflator, an igniter converts the electrical signal to thermal (heat) energy, causing the ignition of the
inflator gas generant. This ignition reaction combusts the sodium azide/copper oxide gas generant
in the inflator, producing nitrogen gas, which inflates the air bag.
NOTE: The inflator is a component of the driver side air bag module and is not a serviceable item.
The driver side air bag module is serviced as a complete assembly.
Air Bag
The air bag:
- is constructed of neoprene coated nylon.
- is 711 mm (28 inches) in diameter.
- fills to a volume of 0.065 cu. m (2.3 cu.ft) in approximately 40 milliseconds.
NOTE: The air bag is a component of the driver side air bag module and is not a serviceable item.
The driver side air bag module is serviced as a complete assembly.
Mounting Plate and Retainer Ring
The mounting plate and retainer ring attach and seal the air bag assembly to the inflator. The
mounting plate is also used to attach the trim cover and to mount the entire driver side air bag
module to the steering wheel.
NOTE: The mounting plate and retainer ring are components of the driver side air bag module and
are not serviceable items. The driver side air bag module is serviced as a complete assembly.
Steering Wheel Trim Cover
The steering wheel trim cover is made of injection-moulded plastic and covers the air bag. When
the supplemental air bag restraint system is activated, tear seams moulded into the steering wheel
trim cover separate, allowing inflation of the air bag.
NOTE: The steering wheel trim cover is a component of the driver side air bag module and is not a
serviceable item. The driver side air bag module is serviced as a complete assembly.

Air Bag: Service and Repair Disposal Procedures
Disposal Recommendations
Several situations may arise which require some form of disposal action: scrapping a vehicle
containing a deployed air bag, scrapping a vehicle with a live air bag, disposal of a live but
electrically inoperative driver side air bag module or scrapping a deployed driver side air bag
module. Disposal recommendations for these situations are shown in the following chart and
described in detail below.
AIR BAG DISPOSAL RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Vehicle to be scrapped - live air bags:
- Electrically deploy using applicable deployment procedure.
2. Vehicle to be scrapped - deployed air bags:
- Scrap vehicle in the usual manner.
3. Air bag module replaced - damaged but live air bags:
- Package and label properly. Return to Ford.
4. Air bag module replaced - deployed air bags:
- Scrap air bag in the usual manner.
Deployed Air Bags
To service a vehicle in which the air bag has deployed, the deployed air bag must be replaced with
a new air bag. The deployed air bag can be disposed of in the same manner as any part to be
scrapped.
Faulty, Undeployed Air Bag
In the event that a driver side air bag module is diagnosed as faulty, the faulty driver side air bag
module must be replaced by a driver side air bag module. The faulty air bag CANNOT BE
DISPOSED OF IN THE USUAL MANNER. It must be returned intact to Ford Motor Company for
proper disposal. Return the carton to the following address for warranty claim credit:
Warranty Parts Return Center 1285 S. Mill Street Plymouth, MI 48170
NOTE: All faulty live air bags have been placed on the Mandatory Return List. All discolored or
damaged driver side air bag modules should be treated the same as any faulty live air bag being
returned.
The driver side air bag module must be packaged and shipped according to the U.S. Department of
Transportation regulations. Retain packaging used for replacement driver side air bag module,
including the labeling. Do not deploy air bag. Properly package the driver side air bag module in the
original service replacement carton and securely tape shut. Affix Flammable Solid label and
shipping exemption to package.
Scrapped Vehicle
Some vehicles that are damaged or inoperable to the point that service cannot be made may
contain undeployed air bags. This condition could occur by side or rear impact, rollover or if the
vehicle is simply past its useful lifetime. THE AIR BAGS SHOULD BE DEPLOYED USING
APPROPRIATE DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE PRIOR TO SCRAPPING VEHICLE. See: Service
and Repair/Disposal Procedures
Procedure 1 - Electronic Deployment With Wiring Intact
This procedure is to be used in the event that a vehicle with a live air bag is to be scrapped.
Scrapping a vehicle may be required due to severe damage in a non-air bag deployable accident
or at the end of the vehicle's useful life. This procedure assumes that the air bag wiring remains
intact; this is, no diagnostic trouble codes are indicated by the air bag indicator, the system proves
out correctly and the vehicle's battery is still in place (or one has been provided). This procedure is
to be performed outdoors, away from other personnel, since the deploying air bag makes a loud
report upon actuation.
1. Check and clear the front seat of all loose objects. 2. Do not permit any occupants to remain
inside the vehicle. 3. Open the hood and check for an operational vehicle battery. If no battery is
found, supply one and connect it in the usual manner. 4. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN
position and observe the air bag indicator. If the indicator illuminates for six seconds and then
stops, the
supplemental air bag restraint system is intact and may be deployed. Continue with Procedure 1. If
a series of diagnostic trouble codes appear, go to Procedure 2 to deploy the unit.
5. Turn ignition switch to the OFF position. 6. Locate and disconnect front air bag safing sensor and
bracket connector on RH cowl side. 7. Jump Circuits 611 (W/O) and 614 (GY/O) using a 152 mm
(6-inch) length of bared wire.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Air Bag Systems > Air Bag > Component Information > Service and Repair
> Disposal Procedures > Page 7811
WARNING: MAKE SURE THERE ARE NOT OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE.
8. Disconnect center air bag primary crash sensor and bracket located on the radiator support. 9.
Using a 152 mm (6-inch) length of bared wire, short the 617 (PK/O) or 619 (PK/O) wire-to-ground.
The air bag should deploy. If the air bag does
not deploy, go to Procedure 2.
10. If successful, a loud report will be heard and the bag material will be visible in the center of the
steering wheel. Allow at least 10 minutes before
approaching the air bag to allow for cooling.
The air bag is now inoperative and the vehicle may be scrapped in the usual manner.
Procedure 2 - Remote Deployment of Air Bag
This procedure is to be used in the event that a vehicle with a live air bag is to be scrapped, but the
vehicle does not contain an intact wiring harness or certain supplemental air bag restraint system
components are inoperative. This procedure can also be used if Step 4 or 9 of Procedure 1 was
unsuccessful.
1. Remove the driver side air bag module from the vehicle.
WARNING: REMOTE DEPLOYMENT IS TO BE PERFORMED OUTDOORS WITH ALL
PERSONNEL AT LEAST 20 FEET AWAY TO ENSURE PERSONAL SAFETY AND DUE TO THE
LOUD REPORT WHICH OCCURS WHEN DRIVER AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED.
2. Cut the two connector wires on driver side air bag module and strip 25 mm (1 inch) of insulation
from the ends. Obtain two wires at least 20 feet
long. Connect one end of each wire to each of the wires on driver side air bag module.
3. Place the driver side air bag module with the trim cover facing upward on a flat surface in a
remote area such as a parking lot or field.
WARNING: DO NOT PLACE THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG MODULE WITH THE TRIM COVER
FACING DOWN, AS THE FORCES OF THE DEPLOYING AIR BAG MAY CAUSE IT TO
RICOCHET AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
4. Remaining at least 20 feet away from the driver side air bag module, deploy it by touching the
other ends of the two wires to the terminals of a
12-volt vehicle battery.
5. If successful, a loud report will be heard and the air bag material will be visible. Allow at least 10
minutes before approaching the air bag to allow
for cooling.
The air bag is now deployed and may be scrapped in the usual manner.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
The air bag diagnostic monitor continually monitors all supplemental air bag restraint system
components and wiring connections for possible faults in the system. If the air bag diagnostic
monitor detects a fault in the supplemental air bag restraint system when the ignition switch is in
the RUN position, a diagnostic trouble code will be displayed on the air bag indicator, located in the
instrument cluster. Performing system diagnostics is the main purpose of the air bag diagnostic
monitor.
The air bag diagnostic monitor does not deploy the air bag in the event of a crash. The center and
right rear air bag sensors are "hard wired" to the air bag, therefore, the center and right rear front
primary crash sensors and RH cowl side panel air bag safing sensor determine when to deploy the
air bag.
FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
- The air bag diagnostic monitor illuminates the air bag indicator for approximately six seconds
when the ignition switch is in the RUN position and then turns the indicator off. This shows that the
air bag indicator is operational. If the air bag indicator does not illuminate or the indicator stays on
or flashes at any time, a fault has been detected by the air bag diagnostic monitor.
- Diagnostic trouble codes may not be displayed for approximately 30 seconds after the ignition
switch is placed in the RUN position. This is the amount of time the air bag diagnostic monitor
requires to perform all tests and verify system faults, if present.
- Each diagnostic trouble code (a series of flashes and pauses of the air bag indicator) represents a
two-digit number. Each diagnostic trouble code is always displayed at least twice. For example, a
diagnostic trouble code 32 is displayed as three flashes, followed by a one-second pause, then two
flashes, followed by a three-second pause.
- If a system fault is present and the air bag indicator is malfunctioning, an audible tone will be
heard, indicating that system service is required. The tone is a series of five sets of five beeps. This
does not indicate a diagnostic trouble code 55. If the tone is heard, the air bag indicator is
inoperative and a system fault that requires service is present.
- If a fault exists that makes unwanted air bag deployment possible, the air bag diagnostic monitor
has an internal thermal fuse that will blow (open) automatically. This removes all power to the air
bag deployment circuit.
CAUTION: The thermal fuse does not blow (open) because of excessive current flowing through it.
DO NOT attempt to jumper out the thermal fuse with a circuit breaker or any other type of fuse.
- The air bag indicator will flash the appropriate diagnostic trouble code to indicate the suspect
circuit. If the indicator is malfunctioning the tone will be heard.
- Diagnostic trouble codes are prioritized numerically so if two or more different faults occur at the
same time, the fault having the highest priority will be displayed first. After that fault has been
corrected, the next highest priority fault will be displayed.
- The air bag diagnostic monitor includes an internal backup power supply. This feature provides
sufficient backup power to deploy the air bag in the event the battery or battery cables are
damaged in an accident before the center air bag and front air bag sensors close. The backup
power supply will deplete its stored energy approximately one minute after the positive battery
cable is disconnected.
WARNING: THE BACKUP POWER SUPPLY ENERGY MUST BE DEPLETED BEFORE ANY AIR
BAG COMPONENT SERVICE IS PERFORMED. TO DEPLETE THE BACKUP POWER SUPPLY
ENERGY, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY POSITIVE CABLE AND WAIT ONE MINUTE.

Air Bag Control Module: Service and Repair
CAUTION: When servicing the air bag diagnostic monitor with a blown internal fuse (DTC 51), find
and repair all wire damage or shorts. A blown air bag diagnostic monitor can be used to find
electrical faults without replacing components unnecessarily. The diagnostic procedures are written
to give safety first priority.
The following steps may be taken to find the cause that initiated a blown fuse:
1. Verify the system using the old air bag diagnostic monitor and verify the wiring repairs success
before proceeding. Repeat as many times as
required.
2. Replace the air bag diagnostic monitor when all wire repairs are complete. 3. If the diagnostic
trouble code returns after making all wiring repairs, then replace the indicated component.
Removal and Installation
1. Disconnect battery positive cable and wait one minute for backup power supply energy to be
depleted.
WARNING: THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT NECESSARY FOR SYSTEM DEPLOYMENT IS
POWERED DIRECTLY FROM THE BATTERY AND BACKUP POWER SUPPLY. TO AVOID
ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY, THE BATTERY POSITIVE
CABLE MUST BE DISCONNECTED FOR ONE MINUTE PRIOR TO SERVICING OR
REPLACING ANY SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
NOTE: When the battery is disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms may
occur while the powertrain control module (PCM) relearns its adaptive strategy. The vehicle may
need to be driven 10 mites or more to relearn the strategy.
2. Locate air bag diagnostic monitor beneath and to the left of the steering column and disconnect
the two connectors. 3. Depress tabs retaining air bag diagnostic monitor to air bag monitor bracket.
Slide air bag diagnostic monitor off air bag monitor bracket. 4. Disconnect electrical wiring
connectors to air bag diagnostic monitor. Remove air bag diagnostic monitor. 5. For installation,
follow removal procedures in reverse order. Prove out system.

air bag inflation. When an impact occurs that requires air bag inflation, the sensor contacts close,
completing the electrical circuit necessary for system operation.
Three sensors are mounted in the vehicle. Their locations are as follows:
- A primary air bag sensor at the center of the radiator support.
- A primary sensor on the right frame rail.
- A safing sensor at the right cowl side trim panel.
At least two sensors (one primary sensor and one safing sensor) must be closed to inflate the air
bag.
The sensors automatically "reset" after a collision and do not need to be replaced unless they are
physically damaged. Replace only if proper alignment is not possible due to bent brackets, cut
wires, smashed connectors, etc.

The air bag diagnostic monitor includes an internal backup power supply. This feature provides
sufficient backup power to deploy the air bag in the event the battery or battery cables are
damaged in an accident before the center air bag and front air bag sensors close. The backup

Malfunction Lamp / Indicator: Description and Operation
Air Bag Indicator
The air bag indicator will light continuously for approximately six seconds whenever the ignition
switch is turned from OFF to RUN if the air bag is working properly. If system fault is present, the
indicator will either fail to light, remain lit continuously or light in a flashing manner. The flashing
manner may not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned
from OFF to RUN. This is the time required for the air bag diagnostic monitor to test and verify any
and all system faults. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and a system fault exists, a tone will
sound signaling that the air bag indicator is inoperative and a system fault exists.
Tone Generator
The air bag indicator is the prime means of determining the supplemental air bag restraint system
status. However, if the air bag indicator is inoperative and a system fault exists, a tone will sound in
a pattern of five sets of five beeps. If this occurs, the air bag indicator will need to be serviced
before further diagnosing and testing can be completed. Unless serviced, the supplemental air bag
restraint system may not function properly in the event of an accident.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
The air bag diagnostic monitor continually monitors all supplemental air bag restraint system
components and wiring connections for possible faults in the system. If the air bag diagnostic
monitor detects a fault in the supplemental air bag restraint system when the ignition switch is in
the RUN position, a diagnostic trouble code will be displayed on the air bag indicator, located in the
instrument cluster. Performing system diagnostics is the main purpose of the air bag diagnostic
monitor.
The air bag diagnostic monitor does not deploy the air bag in the event of a crash. The center and
right rear air bag sensors are "hard wired" to the air bag, therefore, the center and right rear front
primary crash sensors and RH cowl side panel air bag safing sensor determine when to deploy the
air bag.
FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
- The air bag diagnostic monitor illuminates the air bag indicator for approximately six seconds
when the ignition switch is in the RUN position and then turns the indicator off. This shows that the
air bag indicator is operational. If the air bag indicator does not illuminate or the indicator stays on
or flashes at any time, a fault has been detected by the air bag diagnostic monitor.
- Diagnostic trouble codes may not be displayed for approximately 30 seconds after the ignition
switch is placed in the RUN position. This is the amount of time the air bag diagnostic monitor
requires to perform all tests and verify system faults, if present.
- Each diagnostic trouble code (a series of flashes and pauses of the air bag indicator) represents a
two-digit number. Each diagnostic trouble code is always displayed at least twice. For example, a
diagnostic trouble code 32 is displayed as three flashes, followed by a one-second pause, then two
flashes, followed by a three-second pause.
- If a system fault is present and the air bag indicator is malfunctioning, an audible tone will be
heard, indicating that system service is required. The tone is a series of five sets of five beeps. This
does not indicate a diagnostic trouble code 55. If the tone is heard, the air bag indicator is
inoperative and a system fault that requires service is present.
- If a fault exists that makes unwanted air bag deployment possible, the air bag diagnostic monitor
has an internal thermal fuse that will blow (open) automatically. This removes all power to the air
bag deployment circuit.
CAUTION: The thermal fuse does not blow (open) because of excessive current flowing through it.
DO NOT attempt to jumper out the thermal fuse with a circuit breaker or any other type of fuse.
- The air bag indicator will flash the appropriate diagnostic trouble code to indicate the suspect
circuit. If the indicator is malfunctioning the tone will be heard.
- Diagnostic trouble codes are prioritized numerically so if two or more different faults occur at the
same time, the fault having the highest priority will be displayed first. After that fault has been
corrected, the next highest priority fault will be displayed.
- The air bag diagnostic monitor includes an internal backup power supply. This feature provides
sufficient backup power to deploy the air bag in the event the battery or battery cables are
damaged in an accident before the center air bag and front air bag sensors close. The backup
power supply will deplete its stored energy approximately one minute after the positive battery
cable is disconnected.
WARNING: THE BACKUP POWER SUPPLY ENERGY MUST BE DEPLETED BEFORE ANY AIR
BAG COMPONENT SERVICE IS PERFORMED. TO DEPLETE THE BACKUP POWER SUPPLY
ENERGY, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY POSITIVE CABLE AND WAIT ONE MINUTE.

Air Bag Control Module: Service and Repair
CAUTION: When servicing the air bag diagnostic monitor with a blown internal fuse (DTC 51), find
and repair all wire damage or shorts. A blown air bag diagnostic monitor can be used to find
electrical faults without replacing components unnecessarily. The diagnostic procedures are written
to give safety first priority.
The following steps may be taken to find the cause that initiated a blown fuse:
1. Verify the system using the old air bag diagnostic monitor and verify the wiring repairs success
before proceeding. Repeat as many times as
required.
2. Replace the air bag diagnostic monitor when all wire repairs are complete. 3. If the diagnostic
trouble code returns after making all wiring repairs, then replace the indicated component.
Removal and Installation
1. Disconnect battery positive cable and wait one minute for backup power supply energy to be
depleted.
WARNING: THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT NECESSARY FOR SYSTEM DEPLOYMENT IS
POWERED DIRECTLY FROM THE BATTERY AND BACKUP POWER SUPPLY. TO AVOID
ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY, THE BATTERY POSITIVE
CABLE MUST BE DISCONNECTED FOR ONE MINUTE PRIOR TO SERVICING OR
REPLACING ANY SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
NOTE: When the battery is disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms may
occur while the powertrain control module (PCM) relearns its adaptive strategy. The vehicle may
need to be driven 10 mites or more to relearn the strategy.

Seat Belt: Description and Operation
FRONT LAP/SHOULDER SEAT BELT
On bench seat installations, the inboard belts with the buckle are attached to the seat. On
Econoline bucket seats and captain's chairs, the inboard buckles are attached to the floor.
Attaching the tongue and buckle secures the occupant with both lower and upper restraints.
CENTER LAP SEAT BELT
The center seat belts do not have retractors. To lengthen the belt, tip the tongue at a right angle to
the belt, and pull the tongue until the ends can be joined with front safety belt buckle end or rear
safety belt and buckle over the lap.
To fasten the belt, insert the tongue into the open end of the front safety belt buckle or rear safety
belt and buckle until a snap is heard. To shorten the belt, pull on the loose end of the webbing. The
lap belt should be snug across the hips, NEVER ACROSS THE WAIST.
REAR LAP/SHOULDER SEAT BELT
All of the rear outboard seats are provided with shoulder belts. Some outboard seat positions may
be equipped with belts detachable from their seat anchors. Center seating positions are provided
with adjustable lap belts only.

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation
WARNING: VEHICLE SENSOR ORIENTATION IS CRITICAL FOR PROPER SYSTEM
OPERATION. IF A VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG RESTRAINT
SYSTEM HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE RADIATOR SUPPORT, FRAME
RAILS OR COWLS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED, INSPECT THE SENSOR MOUNTING BRACKETS
FOR DEFORMATION. IF DAMAGED, THE SENSOR SHOULD BE REPLACED WHETHER OR
NOT THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED. IN ADDITION, MAKE SURE THE BODY STRUCTURE IN
THE AREA OF THE SENSOR MOUNTING IS RESTORED TO ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION.
NOTE: Undamaged sensors will reset automatically after an accident and can be reused.
The sensors are electrical switches which react to impacts according to direction and force.
Sensors discriminate between impacts that require air bag inflation and impacts that do not require
air bag inflation. When an impact occurs that requires air bag inflation, the sensor contacts close,
completing the electrical circuit necessary for system operation.
Three sensors are mounted in the vehicle. Their locations are as follows:
- A primary air bag sensor at the center of the radiator support.
- A primary sensor on the right frame rail.
- A safing sensor at the right cowl side trim panel.
At least two sensors (one primary sensor and one safing sensor) must be closed to inflate the air
bag.
The sensors automatically "reset" after a collision and do not need to be replaced unless they are
physically damaged. Replace only if proper alignment is not possible due to bent brackets, cut
wires, smashed connectors, etc.

Program Terms Available through October 31, 1996
Affected Vehicles 1994-model Continental, Explorer, Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis and Town
Car, 1994 and 1995-model Mustang, Taurus, Sable, Thunderbird, Cougar, Mark VIII, Probe,
F-Series, Bronco, Econoline and 1995-model Contour, Mystique and Windstar vehicles equipped
with the factory installed remote keyless entry system option. (This is the rectangular-shaped
transmitter, manufactured by TRW Corp.)
Reason For This Program The remote keyless entry system transmitter positive battery terminal
contact surface may develop corrosion and result in intermittent transmitter operation and/or
unnecessary battery replacement.
Service Action Owners of affected vehicles will be notified of a special "mail-in" up-grade program
and will be instructed to return their transmitters in a special prepaid mailing envelope. The
transmitters will be serviced at a central facility and returned to owners. This bulletin provides
instructions if owners should return to dealers for service. Owners will use the special mailing
envelope for this special "mail-in" service. However, there are two situations where an owner may
contact their dealer: 1.) where the special mailing envelope cannot be located, or 2.) where the
central servicing facility was unable to perform the required upgrade of the transmitter for technical
reasons. Dealers are required to provide transmitter reprogramming service along with a free
engine oil and filter change. In these situations customers will have received an authorization letter
along with the new transmitters. Additionally, customers are informed that the authorization letter
and the transmitters are to be presented when requesting this service.
Limited-Time Program This special "mail-in" program will only be available through October 31,
1996.
Special Toll-Free Number for Owner's Questions A special toll-free number is available for owners
(1-800-490-4288) from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. weekdays and 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays

unnecessary battery replacement.
Service Action Owners of affected vehicles will be notified of a special "mail-in" up-grade program
and will be instructed to return their transmitters in a special prepaid mailing envelope. The
transmitters will be serviced at a central facility and returned to owners. This bulletin provides
instructions if owners should return to dealers for service. Owners will use the special mailing
envelope for this special "mail-in" service. However, there are two situations where an owner may
contact their dealer: 1.) where the special mailing envelope cannot be located, or 2.) where the
central servicing facility was unable to perform the required upgrade of the transmitter for technical
reasons. Dealers are required to provide transmitter reprogramming service along with a free
engine oil and filter change. In these situations customers will have received an authorization letter
along with the new transmitters. Additionally, customers are informed that the authorization letter
and the transmitters are to be presented when requesting this service.
Limited-Time Program This special "mail-in" program will only be available through October 31,
1996.

ISSUE
A "whining"/"buzzing" noise in the speakers of the entertainment radio or two-way radio on vehicles
with an in-tank electric fuel pump may be caused by electrical noise from the fuel pump.

Install an electronic noise Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) Filter (F1PZ-18B925-A) on the fuel
pump inside the fuel tank. Refer to the following Test Procedure to confirm that the concern exists,
then refer to the Service Procedure for repair details.
NOTE
SOME LIGHT TRUCKS REQUIRE ONE (1) RFI FILTER FOR EACH IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL
PUMP ON MULTI-TANK VEHICLES.
NOTE
THIS TSB DOES NOT INCLUDE TAURUS FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES (FFVS) OR 1999
RANGER 3.0L FFVS.
TEST PROCEDURE
Fuel pump radio noise is relatively constant and changes only slightly with vehicle speed. If the
frequency of the noise varies or the noise comes and goes with the vehicle speed, then it is not the
fuel pump and this fix will not be effective. The following procedure will help determine if the fuel
pump is the cause of the radio noise:
1. Turn on the radio before the key is turned on (assuming the radio will operate without the ignition
key - you may need to put the ignition key in the Accessory position).
2. Turn the ignition key to the Run position (do not start the engine).
3. The fuel pump should run for about 1 second with the key in the Run position with the engine not
running. Listen for noise in the radio. If noise is present while the pump is running and stops when
the pump stops, then the noise is being generated by the pump and this procedure should help.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove the fuel pump sender assembly from the fuel tank. Refer to the appropriate model year
Workshop Manual for removal procedure.

4. Secure the RFI filter to the fuel pump and sender assembly with a Bundling Strap (95873-S101)
to prevent rattling in the tank, Figures 1 and 2.
5. Reinstall the fuel pump sender assembly into the fuel tank.
CAUTION
INSTALL NEW GASKETS WHEN REINSTALLING SENDER TO PREVENT LEAKS. REFER TO
THE PARTS CATALOG FOR PROPER APPLICATIONS.
6. Check the appropriate Electrical and vacuum troubleshooting manual (EVTM) (or other Service
Literature) for the location of the fuel pump pump ground. If ground is more than 0.9m (3') from the
tank, cut wire and ground fuel pump end within 0.9m (3') of the tank to prevent ground wire from
acting as an antenna. Be sure ground is secure and protected from corrosion since it is the
operating ground for the fuel pump.
7. Install the fuel tank in the vehicle as outlined in the appropriate Service or Workshop manual.

1. Turn on the radio before the key is turned on (assuming the radio will operate without the ignition
key - you may need to put the ignition key in the Accessory position).
2. Turn the ignition key to the Run position (do not start the engine).
3. The fuel pump should run for about 1 second with the key in the Run position with the engine not
running. Listen for noise in the radio. If noise is present while the pump is running and stops when
the pump stops, then the noise is being generated by the pump and this procedure should help.

Install an electronic noise Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) Filter (F1PZ-18B925-A) on the fuel
pump inside the fuel tank. Refer to the following Test Procedure to confirm that the concern exists,
then refer to the Service Procedure for repair details.
NOTE
SOME LIGHT TRUCKS REQUIRE ONE (1) RFI FILTER FOR EACH IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL
PUMP ON MULTI-TANK VEHICLES.
NOTE
THIS TSB DOES NOT INCLUDE TAURUS FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES (FFVS) OR 1999
RANGER 3.0L FFVS.
TEST PROCEDURE
Fuel pump radio noise is relatively constant and changes only slightly with vehicle speed. If the
frequency of the noise varies or the noise comes and goes with the vehicle speed, then it is not the
fuel pump and this fix will not be effective. The following procedure will help determine if the fuel
pump is the cause of the radio noise:
1. Turn on the radio before the key is turned on (assuming the radio will operate without the ignition
key - you may need to put the ignition key in the Accessory position).
2. Turn the ignition key to the Run position (do not start the engine).
3. The fuel pump should run for about 1 second with the key in the Run position with the engine not

ISSUE: Many motorhome owners tow a vehicle when traveling. Improper techniques can
"overload" the brake system of the tow vehicle or damage the drivetrain of the vehicle being towed.
ACTION: Use the information and charts shown in this TSB article to properly match tow vehicle,
towed vehicle and towing method.
TOWING METHODS
1. TRAILER - The vehicle is loaded onto and secured to a trailer and simply acts as "secured"
cargo.
2. DOLLY - The vehicle is "partially" loaded and partially towed. Either front or rear wheels are
loaded and secured to a "towing dolly" and the other wheels roll on the road.
3. TOW BAR - All of the vehicle wheels roll on the pavement. The towed vehicle's steering column
must be unlocked so that it can track correctly behind the tow vehicle.
WEIGHT RATINGS AND BRAKES
^ GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) - is the MAXIMUM allowable weight of the towing vehicle,
passengers and cargo
^ GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) - is the MAXIMUM allowable weight of the towing
vehicle and the weight of the trailer or vehicle being towed, including all passengers and cargo
^ BRAKES - The motorhome brakes are designed and rated for the GVWR of that vehicle and will
provide adequate braking for trailers and towing vehicles up to 680 kg (1500 lb)

Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Towing Information > System
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Vehicle - Towing Behind RVs Guidelines > Page 8112
CAUTION:
SEPARATE AUXILIARY BRAKES ARE REQUIRED ON TRAILERS OR TOWED VEHICLES
OVER 680 KG (1500 LBS). DO NOT CONNECT A TRAILER'S, DOLLY'S OR OTHER TOWED
VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM TO THE TOWING VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM.
TOWED VEHICLES
1. Trailer-towed - The vehicle should be loaded on the trailer in a manner to:
a. achieve a trailer tongue load of 10-15% of total trailer weight,
b. not exceed the trailer or hitch ratings and
c. be securely tied down.
2. Dolly-towed - For front wheel drive vehicles, towing an automatic transaxle (ATX)-equipped
vehicle behind another vehicle, such as a Recreational Vehicle (RV), requires that a front wheel
dolly or trailer be used.
NOTE:
TEMPO ALL-WHEEL DRIVE MODELS MUST BE TRAILER-TOWED. DO NOT TOW THESE
VEHICLES USING A TWO-WHEEL TOWING DOLLY.
CAUTION:
DO NOT TOW A VEHICLE WITH AN AUTOMATIC (ATX) TRANSAXLE WITH THE DRIVE
WHEELS ON THE GROUND. DAMAGE TO THE TRANSAXLE MAY RESULT.
3. Tow Bar-towed - Vehicles which can be successfully towed with a tow bar are listed in the
following chart. Additional vehicle-specific information follows the chart.
ALL VEHICLES
NOTE:
DO NOT TOW ANY VEHICLE AT A SPEED FASTER THAN 88 KM/H (55 MPH). THE MAXIMUM
TOWING DISTANCE (WHEN TOWED CORRECTLY) IS UNLIMITED.
WARNING:
NEVER USE A TOW BAR THAT ATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.
MTX-EQUIPPED VEHICLES

Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Towing Information > System
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Vehicle - Towing Behind RVs Guidelines > Page 8113
Towing a manual transaxle (MTX)-equipped vehicle with the drive wheels on the ground is
acceptable only if the vehicle is towed in a forward direction. The parking brake must be released
and the gear shift lever must be in Neutral.
^ For Aspire, Festiva, Escort and Tracer, the ignition key must be in the ACO position, the battery
must be disconnected to eliminate battery drain, and the steering wheel must be unlocked
^ For Capri, the ignition key must be in the OFF position and the steering wheel unlocked
^ Refer to the specific vehicle Owner Guide for complete details
CAUTION:
TOWING MTX-EQUIPPED VEHICLES INCORRECTLY MAY RESULT IN TRANSAXLE DAMAGE.
TRUCKS
^ The steering wheel must be unlocked by placing the ignition key in the OFF position
^ Manual transmission shift lever must be in Neutral
^ On 4X4 manual shift transfer cases, the shift lever must be in Neutral
^ 4X4 locking hubs (both manual and automatic) must be unlocked
^ Refer to the specific vehicle Owner Guide for complete details

This TSB is being republished in its entirety to include vehicles through the 1995 model year.
ISSUE: Running boards which are incorrectly installed may result in noise/vibration complaints.
ACTION: Install running boards to either the body or frame; NEVER to both unless the mounting
system uses isolated mounts. A manufacturer's instruction to attach running boards to both body
and frame should be immediately questioned because such action provides a direct path from
chassis to body for road vibration and noise.

Ash Tray: Description and Operation
The cigar lighter element has a low resistance heating coil which operates much like the coil used
in a portable heater.
When the element is pushed completely in, the circuit is closed and current flows through the
heating coil to the ground. When sufficient heat is generated, the element will overcome the spring
pressure of the bimetal retaining fingers and be released.
Instrument panel ash receptacles and cigar lighter knob and elements are located in the center of
the instrument panel.

ISSUE: New replacement doors for past model years have a larger lock cylinder hole diameter. A
loose fit will occur when installing the door lock cylinder. The lock cylinder mounting hole diameter
in new doors has been increased in preparation for a new style lock cylinder. New locks will be
phased in for future production.
ACTION: Install a spacer for the larger diameter door lock cylinder mounting hole. Refer to the
following Service Procedure for details.
NOTE:
THE DOOR LOCK CYLINDER SPACER HAS BEEN ADDED TO CERTAIN 1996 MODEL YEAR
VEHICLES TO ELIMINATE THE LOOSE FIT CONDITION FROM THE SMALLER DOOR LOCK
CYLINDER. SOME VEHICLES MAY BE BUILT WITH SPACERS ON ONE SIDE ONLY. THIS IS
DUE TO THE BALANCE OF SUPPLIES OF RIGHT AND LEFT DOORS AT THE ASSEMBLY

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to clarify Issue, Action, Service Procedure, and
Operation.
ISSUE: Torque converter clutch shudder or vibration may occur under light to moderate
acceleration above 56 km/h (35 mph) while in 3rd or 4th gear or during 3-4 or 4-3 shifts. This
condition may be noticeable on higher mileage vehicles (24,000 km/15,000 mi or more) when the
torque converter clutch engages or disengages during light to moderate acceleration.
ACTION: Perform normal diagnostics (i.e., linkage adjustment fluid level and condition, On-Board
diagnostic check). If self test codes are present, service as required. If no DTCs are present,
perform the following Service Procedure.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Drain all transmission fluid. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual, Section 07-01 for details. If
fluid is burnt or heavily contaminated, repair as required.

Program Terms Available through October 31, 1996
Affected Vehicles 1994-model Continental, Explorer, Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis and Town
Car, 1994 and 1995-model Mustang, Taurus, Sable, Thunderbird, Cougar, Mark VIII, Probe,
F-Series, Bronco, Econoline and 1995-model Contour, Mystique and Windstar vehicles equipped
with the factory installed remote keyless entry system option. (This is the rectangular-shaped
transmitter, manufactured by TRW Corp.)
Reason For This Program The remote keyless entry system transmitter positive battery terminal
contact surface may develop corrosion and result in intermittent transmitter operation and/or
unnecessary battery replacement.
Service Action Owners of affected vehicles will be notified of a special "mail-in" up-grade program
and will be instructed to return their transmitters in a special prepaid mailing envelope. The
transmitters will be serviced at a central facility and returned to owners. This bulletin provides
instructions if owners should return to dealers for service. Owners will use the special mailing
envelope for this special "mail-in" service. However, there are two situations where an owner may
contact their dealer: 1.) where the special mailing envelope cannot be located, or 2.) where the
central servicing facility was unable to perform the required upgrade of the transmitter for technical
reasons. Dealers are required to provide transmitter reprogramming service along with a free
engine oil and filter change. In these situations customers will have received an authorization letter
along with the new transmitters. Additionally, customers are informed that the authorization letter
and the transmitters are to be presented when requesting this service.
Limited-Time Program This special "mail-in" program will only be available through October 31,
1996.
Special Toll-Free Number for Owner's Questions A special toll-free number is available for owners
(1-800-490-4288) from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. weekdays and 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays

Service Action Owners of affected vehicles will be notified of a special "mail-in" up-grade program
and will be instructed to return their transmitters in a special prepaid mailing envelope. The
transmitters will be serviced at a central facility and returned to owners. This bulletin provides
instructions if owners should return to dealers for service. Owners will use the special mailing
envelope for this special "mail-in" service. However, there are two situations where an owner may
contact their dealer: 1.) where the special mailing envelope cannot be located, or 2.) where the
central servicing facility was unable to perform the required upgrade of the transmitter for technical
reasons. Dealers are required to provide transmitter reprogramming service along with a free
engine oil and filter change. In these situations customers will have received an authorization letter
along with the new transmitters. Additionally, customers are informed that the authorization letter
and the transmitters are to be presented when requesting this service.
Limited-Time Program This special "mail-in" program will only be available through October 31,
1996.
Special Toll-Free Number for Owner's Questions A special toll-free number is available for owners

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

POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE PAINTED SURFACES AND TRIM.
WARNING:
THE TECHNICIAN MUST WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND EYE PROTECTION TO
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.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Paint, Striping and Decals > Paint > System Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Paint - Iron Particle Removal > Page 8333
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.

Bulletins > Paint - Iron Particle Removal > Page 8334
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.

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.

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:

Article 97-6-18 is being republished with updates as part of a consolidated 7.3L diagnostic aid
booklet.
ISSUE
The 7.3L Direct Injection Turbo (DIT) engines are built with 0.1016-0.8128 mm (0.0040-0.032")
clearance between the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and the trigger wheel. At approximately
1.016 mm (0.040") clearance, the sensor will fail to synchronize and result in a no run condition.
Improper CMP clearance can be seen in the following six (6) symptoms:
^ 1) Fault codes - incorrect synchronization count
^ 2) Low RPM - fails to achieve rated speed for 2-3 minutes after extended cold soak
^ 3) No start - after extended cold soak
^ 4) Runs poorly cold - engine runs OK warm
^ 5) Stall on deceleration - more pronounced cold
^ 6) Starts, runs cold, dies warm, will not restart until cool
ACTION
Install a shim between the CMP sensor and the front engine cover. The shim will allow the correct
clearance which should reduce the possibility of concerns. Refer to the following Service Procedure
for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Perform normal DIT Powerstroke diagnostics. If no other problems are found, proceed with this
TSB article.
2. Remove CMP sensor and inspect for signs of contact with the pulse wheel. Make sure the holes
on the end are filled with epoxy and inspect the connector mating cavity for signs of oil
contamination. If there are any signs of contact, contamination, or the holes are not filled, replace
the CMP Sensor (F6TZ-12K073-A).
3. Repair symptoms 1) - 5) as follows: install a 0.254 mm (0.010") shim under the CMP sensor. If
symptoms persist, increase the shim thickness to 0.508 mm (0.020") Shim (F7TZ-1 2J072-AA).
NOTE
SOME ENGINES BETWEEN SERIAL NUMBERS 388840 AND 410010 HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH
EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF TRIGGER WHEEL RUNOUT. RUNOUT OF THE TRIGGER WHEEL
GREATER THAN 0.508 mm (0.020") MIGHT NOT BE RESOLVED WITH A SHIM. THE
ADDITIONAL CLEARANCE CAN PUT TOTAL CLEARANCE ABOVE 1.016 mm (0.040") AND
CAUSE FAILURE TO SYNCHRONIZE.
4. If symptom 6) occurs and trigger wheel runout is greater than 0.508 mm (0.020"), try a 0.254 mm
(0.010") shim. If the concern is unresolved, replace the Camshaft Assembly (F4TZ-6250-A). Refer
to the appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 03-01C, for camshaft assembly
replacement procedure.

Weatherstrip Windnoise or Appearance Service Tips
The following text explains attachment methods for Ford Motor Company's generic repair
standards for loose and/or misaligned weatherstrips.
Flanges
are typically used on the body opening where weatherstrip retention fins grab onto each side of the
sheet metal flange to retain the weatherstrip with a press fit. In cases where these weatherstrips
become loose and/or misaligned, they can be reinstalled by pressing the locking retention fins back
onto the sheet metal flange and stretching to provide better retention around corners. If the
weatherstrip retention fins or metal carrier become damaged, it is also required that the U-section
be carefully bent back into the proper shape to properly lock onto the sheet metal flange. Once
replaced, check the weatherstrip for proper retention. If required, Weatherstrip and Rubber
Adhesive (E8AZ-19552-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESB-M2G14-A) should be
applied to the inside of the weatherstrip U-section to bond with the sheet metal flange for proper
retention force.
Sheet Metal C-Channels
are typically used on the upper perimeter of the door assembly or body panel to hold the
weatherstrip molded base inside the C-channel. In cases where these weatherstrips pop out of the
channel, repair by first removing the weatherstrip from the entire channel, and reassemble by
sliding the molded base back into the channel. If the sheet metal channel has been damaged, it is
also required that the C-channel be carefully bent back into the proper shape to retain the
weatherstrip molded base.
Push Pins
are typically used on the lower perimeter of the door assembly attached to the weatherstrip. They
are press fit into sheet metal holes for retention. Push pins can be gently removed by pulling the
actual pin normal to the surface, out of the hole, and reinserted without damage. If a push pin is
damaged, it should be replaced by first removing the existing push pin. Then, the base of a new
push pin should be inserted into the weatherstrip hole, and finally press fit into the corresponding
sheet metal hole. All door perimeter weatherstrip push pins should be repaired using Ford standard
N806340-S.
Rivets
are used to attach some weatherstrips to the sheet metal body. In cases where a rivet becomes
loose, the entire rivet should be removed and replaced with a new rivet.
Adhesive Tape
is used to adhere smaller weatherstrip sections to the painted sheet metal surface. All surfaces
must be clean and dry before any weatherstrip reattachment is performed. Adhesive tears should
be reattached to the painted surface using general purpose Instant Adhesive (E8AZ-19554-A or
equivalent).
Verification
1. If the weatherstrip is not attached properly, reattach it correctly.
2. If the condition of the weatherstrip is good and it is attached properly, test drive the vehicle to
diagnose the root cause of the windnoise. Verify the sealing contact between the door and the
weatherstrip is sufficient with the 3X5" Card Test or a Chalk Test found in this TSB article.
3. If sealing contact between the weatherstrip and the door is the root cause of the windnoise,
readjust the doors to contact the weatherstrips.
NOTE
WEATHERSTRIP REPAIRS SHOULD NOT CREATE UNACCEPTABLE DOOR CLOSING
EFFORTS, WINDNOISE CONCERNS, OR WATER LEAK CONCERNS WITH THE DOOR
SYSTEM.
3X5" Card Test
1. Insert a 3x5" card between the door and the weatherstrip at the base of the A-pillar with the door
closed.
2. Run the card up along the A-pillar.
If the card easily moves at any location along the A-pillar, then the sealing contact between the
door and the weatherstrip is insufficient and the door should be adjusted to increase the sealing
contact. This test can only be used to evaluate the A-pillar sealing contact at the margin. To
evaluate sealing contact of the primary and secondary weatherstrips, a Chalk Test must be
performed.
Chalk Test
1. Lightly and evenly spray the sheet metal sealing surface of the door and body with a tracing
powder (chalk spray).
2. Gently close the door, applying pressure only at the latch to prevent overslam (which will give an
inaccurate reading).
3. Open the door and inspect the seals for degree of compression and possible skips.
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Weatherstrip > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Customer Interest for Weatherstrip: > 99-6-5 > Apr > 99 > Side Doors - Wind Noises > Page 8419
To provide adequate sealing contact, the weatherstrip-to-sheet metal contact should provide a
tracing powder footprint width of 4-6 mm on the weatherstrips. Any skips or tracing powder
footprints less than 3mm in width indicate insufficient door-to-weatherstrip sealing contact and the
door should be adjusted to increase the sealing contact.
Door Adjusting
Refer to Figures 1 and 2.
1. The upper and lower door hinges provide sufficient in/out adjustment to increase door contact
with the dynamic weatherstrips. The door should not be pried or forced into alignment. To properly
correct the door fit to the weatherstrips, the door striker and/or hinge bolts to the door must be
loosened and adjusted to perform the alignment procedure. Note that the door striker only controls
the in/out location of the door at the rear latch area. The hinges control the in/out location of the
door at the front, and the overall tip or tilt of the door when viewed from the front or rear.
2. Review the overall fit of the door to the surrounding panels, and the amount of compression of
the weatherstrip at all locations around the door. The fitting procedure is mastered sequentially
from the rear of the vehicle to the front:
^ from the quarter panel to the rear door
^ from the rear door to the front door
Ford E 350 Van Workshop Manual (V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Weatherstrip > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Customer Interest for Weatherstrip: > 99-6-5 > Apr > 99 > Side Doors - Wind Noises > Page 8420
^ then the front door to the fender
All mating surfaces should be reviewed and, if necessary, refit starting with correcting the rear door
to the quarter panel and working forward.
3. The door should be adjusted to obtain proper seal compression while maintaining a good door
fit. An adjustment may be required only at one hinge. For example: if the top of the door is
outboard, causing a lack of seal compression around the upper door frame area, and the fit of the
lower part of the door is good to the adjacent panels, an inward adjustment at only the upper hinge
would be appropriate (refer to Step 5). Note that adjustments to the rear door may require
additional adjustments to the front door, and then also possibly to the front fender to maintain the
proper panel fit and alignment.
4. The rear of the door should be set in/out with the striker to align at the door latch area with the
mating panel. If the upper or lower part of the door doesn't align to the adjacent panel, the amount
of door tip must be corrected by adjustment at the hinges in order to get both the upper and lower
surfaces of the door aligned or flushed to the adjacent panels.
5. The in/out setting at the front of the doors is controlled by the hinge adjustment.
^ It should be set to obtain the proper amount of seal contact, which can be determined using the
3X5" Card Test or the Chalk Test.
^ As a guideline, if there is insufficient weatherstrip contact of the door, the hinge(s) should be
adjusted 2-4 mm inboard. This is accomplished by loosening the hinge~to-door bolts just enough to
permit movement of the door with a padded pry bar.
^ Only one hinge should be adjusted at a time. The other tight hinge helps to prevent any drastic
door movement (which may result due to the weight of the door) which will result in a complete
door refitting for both up/down as well as in/out positions.
^ The amount of movement can be determined by outlining the hinge mounting area on the door
prior to adjustment, and measuring the hinge movement relative to this outline after adjustment. A
2-4mm adjustment should be sufficient to return the door to within its nominal operating range.
6. Finally, the door closing effort should be checked to be sure the seal compression has not
increased so much that a closing effort concern has been created. If the efforts are unacceptably
high, the door may have been moved excessively inward, and should be refitted outward to a
location that balances the seal compression for windnoise with closing efforts. It may be necessary
to perform another 3X5" Card Test or Chalk Test to verify the final seal compression.

ISSUE: There may be a "squeaking" noise coming from the 60/40 doors while driving. This may be
caused by the body flex causing the doors to rub on the weatherstrip, resulting in a squeak.
ACTION: Replace the 60/40 door weatherstrip with new weatherstrip. The new weatherstrip uses a
different coating that will reduce the friction between the door and weatherstrip, reducing the
possibility of squeak. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Open the 60/40 doors and remove stepwell from the door opening.
2. Remove the door opening weatherstrip.
NOTE:
DO NOT REMOVE THE PULL CORD FROM THE NEW WEATHERSTRIP PRIOR TO
INSTALLATION.
3. Install new weatherstrip starting from the lower B-pillar. Working in a counterclockwise direction,
press weatherstrip into place.
4. Remove Pull cord from new weatherstrip to allow weatherstrip to properly seat over interior trim.
5. Reinstall the door opening stepwell.

closed.
2. Run the card up along the A-pillar.
If the card easily moves at any location along the A-pillar, then the sealing contact between the
door and the weatherstrip is insufficient and the door should be adjusted to increase the sealing
contact. This test can only be used to evaluate the A-pillar sealing contact at the margin. To
evaluate sealing contact of the primary and secondary weatherstrips, a Chalk Test must be
performed.
Chalk Test
1. Lightly and evenly spray the sheet metal sealing surface of the door and body with a tracing
powder (chalk spray).
2. Gently close the door, applying pressure only at the latch to prevent overslam (which will give an
inaccurate reading).
3. Open the door and inspect the seals for degree of compression and possible skips.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Weatherstrip > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Technical Service Bulletins for Weatherstrip: > 99-6-5 > Apr > 99 > Side Doors - Wind Noises > Page 8431
To provide adequate sealing contact, the weatherstrip-to-sheet metal contact should provide a
tracing powder footprint width of 4-6 mm on the weatherstrips. Any skips or tracing powder
footprints less than 3mm in width indicate insufficient door-to-weatherstrip sealing contact and the
door should be adjusted to increase the sealing contact.
Door Adjusting
Refer to Figures 1 and 2.
1. The upper and lower door hinges provide sufficient in/out adjustment to increase door contact
with the dynamic weatherstrips. The door should not be pried or forced into alignment. To properly
correct the door fit to the weatherstrips, the door striker and/or hinge bolts to the door must be
loosened and adjusted to perform the alignment procedure. Note that the door striker only controls
the in/out location of the door at the rear latch area. The hinges control the in/out location of the
door at the front, and the overall tip or tilt of the door when viewed from the front or rear.
2. Review the overall fit of the door to the surrounding panels, and the amount of compression of
the weatherstrip at all locations around the door. The fitting procedure is mastered sequentially
from the rear of the vehicle to the front:
^ from the quarter panel to the rear door
^ from the rear door to the front door

Technical Service Bulletins for Weatherstrip: > 99-6-5 > Apr > 99 > Side Doors - Wind Noises > Page 8432
^ then the front door to the fender
All mating surfaces should be reviewed and, if necessary, refit starting with correcting the rear door
to the quarter panel and working forward.
3. The door should be adjusted to obtain proper seal compression while maintaining a good door
fit. An adjustment may be required only at one hinge. For example: if the top of the door is
outboard, causing a lack of seal compression around the upper door frame area, and the fit of the
lower part of the door is good to the adjacent panels, an inward adjustment at only the upper hinge
would be appropriate (refer to Step 5). Note that adjustments to the rear door may require
additional adjustments to the front door, and then also possibly to the front fender to maintain the
proper panel fit and alignment.
4. The rear of the door should be set in/out with the striker to align at the door latch area with the
mating panel. If the upper or lower part of the door doesn't align to the adjacent panel, the amount
of door tip must be corrected by adjustment at the hinges in order to get both the upper and lower
surfaces of the door aligned or flushed to the adjacent panels.
5. The in/out setting at the front of the doors is controlled by the hinge adjustment.
^ It should be set to obtain the proper amount of seal contact, which can be determined using the
3X5" Card Test or the Chalk Test.
^ As a guideline, if there is insufficient weatherstrip contact of the door, the hinge(s) should be
adjusted 2-4 mm inboard. This is accomplished by loosening the hinge~to-door bolts just enough to
permit movement of the door with a padded pry bar.
^ Only one hinge should be adjusted at a time. The other tight hinge helps to prevent any drastic
door movement (which may result due to the weight of the door) which will result in a complete
door refitting for both up/down as well as in/out positions.
^ The amount of movement can be determined by outlining the hinge mounting area on the door
prior to adjustment, and measuring the hinge movement relative to this outline after adjustment. A
2-4mm adjustment should be sufficient to return the door to within its nominal operating range.
6. Finally, the door closing effort should be checked to be sure the seal compression has not
increased so much that a closing effort concern has been created. If the efforts are unacceptably
high, the door may have been moved excessively inward, and should be refitted outward to a
location that balances the seal compression for windnoise with closing efforts. It may be necessary
to perform another 3X5" Card Test or Chalk Test to verify the final seal compression.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1995-97 ECONOLINE
ISSUE: There may be a "squeaking" noise coming from the 60/40 doors while driving. This may be
caused by the body flex causing the doors to rub on the weatherstrip, resulting in a squeak.
ACTION: Replace the 60/40 door weatherstrip with new weatherstrip. The new weatherstrip uses a
different coating that will reduce the friction between the door and weatherstrip, reducing the
possibility of squeak. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Open the 60/40 doors and remove stepwell from the door opening.
2. Remove the door opening weatherstrip.
NOTE:
DO NOT REMOVE THE PULL CORD FROM THE NEW WEATHERSTRIP PRIOR TO
INSTALLATION.
3. Install new weatherstrip starting from the lower B-pillar. Working in a counterclockwise direction,
press weatherstrip into place.
4. Remove Pull cord from new weatherstrip to allow weatherstrip to properly seat over interior trim.
5. Reinstall the door opening stepwell.

The Speed Control Deactivation Switch (SCDS) involved in Safety Recall 09S09 and the revised
SCDS are illustrated (See Figure 1).
Note that the revised SCDS has a different electrical connector An adapter jumper harness (which
is included in the parts kit) is required when replacing the old SCDS with the revised SCDS
SCDS Location
In most vehicles involved in this recall, the SCDS is located on the master cylinder. In 1992-1993
E-Series vehicles, the SCDS is usually located on the junction block or brake proportioning valve
on the left frame rail under the driver's seat. In 1993 F-Series vehicles, the SCDS is usually located
on the junction block or brake proportioning valve on the left frame rail below the master cylinder
To verify, just follow the metal brake lines from the master cylinder until the switch is found On F-53
Motorhome vehicles, if the SCDS is not located on the master cylinder, it maybe located in a brake
line junction block approximately 457 mm (18 in) below the master cylinder It may be necessary to
reposition wiring harnesses and/or remove add-on equipment in order to locate the switch.
SCDS INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTE:
For E-Series vehicles, there is a possibility that the vehicle was manufactured without a SCDS If
unable to locate a SCDS after checking on all the brake lines, no further action is required, release
the vehicle
NOTE:

SCDS are illustrated (See Figure 1).
Note that the revised SCDS has a different electrical connector An adapter jumper harness (which
is included in the parts kit) is required when replacing the old SCDS with the revised SCDS
SCDS Location
In most vehicles involved in this recall, the SCDS is located on the master cylinder. In 1992-1993
E-Series vehicles, the SCDS is usually located on the junction block or brake proportioning valve
on the left frame rail under the driver's seat. In 1993 F-Series vehicles, the SCDS is usually located
on the junction block or brake proportioning valve on the left frame rail below the master cylinder
To verify, just follow the metal brake lines from the master cylinder until the switch is found On F-53
Motorhome vehicles, if the SCDS is not located on the master cylinder, it maybe located in a brake
line junction block approximately 457 mm (18 in) below the master cylinder It may be necessary to
reposition wiring harnesses and/or remove add-on equipment in order to locate the switch.
SCDS INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTE:
For E-Series vehicles, there is a possibility that the vehicle was manufactured without a SCDS If
unable to locate a SCDS after checking on all the brake lines, no further action is required, release
the vehicle
NOTE:
On 1992-1993 E-Series and 1993 F-Series vehicles, it may be necessary to lift the vehicle to gain
access to the SCDS On Windstar vehicles, the air cleaner housing must be separated in the middle
to gain access to the SCDS

The Speed Control Deactivation Switch (SCDS) involved in Safety Recall 09S09 and the revised
SCDS are illustrated (See Figure 1).
Note that the revised SCDS has a different electrical connector An adapter jumper harness (which
is included in the parts kit) is required when replacing the old SCDS with the revised SCDS
SCDS Location
In most vehicles involved in this recall, the SCDS is located on the master cylinder. In 1992-1993
E-Series vehicles, the SCDS is usually located on the junction block or brake proportioning valve
on the left frame rail under the driver's seat. In 1993 F-Series vehicles, the SCDS is usually located
on the junction block or brake proportioning valve on the left frame rail below the master cylinder
To verify, just follow the metal brake lines from the master cylinder until the switch is found On F-53
Motorhome vehicles, if the SCDS is not located on the master cylinder, it maybe located in a brake
line junction block approximately 457 mm (18 in) below the master cylinder It may be necessary to
reposition wiring harnesses and/or remove add-on equipment in order to locate the switch.
SCDS INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTE:
For E-Series vehicles, there is a possibility that the vehicle was manufactured without a SCDS If
unable to locate a SCDS after checking on all the brake lines, no further action is required, release
the vehicle
NOTE:
On 1992-1993 E-Series and 1993 F-Series vehicles, it may be necessary to lift the vehicle to gain
access to the SCDS On Windstar vehicles, the air cleaner housing must be separated in the middle
to gain access to the SCDS

SCDS are illustrated (See Figure 1).
Note that the revised SCDS has a different electrical connector An adapter jumper harness (which
is included in the parts kit) is required when replacing the old SCDS with the revised SCDS
SCDS Location
In most vehicles involved in this recall, the SCDS is located on the master cylinder. In 1992-1993
E-Series vehicles, the SCDS is usually located on the junction block or brake proportioning valve
on the left frame rail under the driver's seat. In 1993 F-Series vehicles, the SCDS is usually located
on the junction block or brake proportioning valve on the left frame rail below the master cylinder
To verify, just follow the metal brake lines from the master cylinder until the switch is found On F-53
Motorhome vehicles, if the SCDS is not located on the master cylinder, it maybe located in a brake
line junction block approximately 457 mm (18 in) below the master cylinder It may be necessary to
reposition wiring harnesses and/or remove add-on equipment in order to locate the switch.
SCDS INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTE:
For E-Series vehicles, there is a possibility that the vehicle was manufactured without a SCDS If
unable to locate a SCDS after checking on all the brake lines, no further action is required, release
the vehicle
NOTE:
On 1992-1993 E-Series and 1993 F-Series vehicles, it may be necessary to lift the vehicle to gain
access to the SCDS On Windstar vehicles, the air cleaner housing must be separated in the middle
to gain access to the SCDS

Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation
Service Brakes
The brake warning light in the instrument cluster is used to warn of system malfunctions. The red
warning light for the brakes can indicate three conditions: The parking brake is not fully released.
- The brake fluid level is low in the master cylinder reservoir.
- The vacuum pressure is low on diesel engine vehicles.
Diesel vehicles use a low vacuum indicator switch. The low vacuum indicator switch is located on
the left side of the engine compartment near the vacuum pump. The low vacuum indicator switch
will turn on the brake warning lamp when a low vacuum situation occurs.
Rear Anti-Lock Brakes
The yellow anti-lock brake indicator lights up for approximately two seconds when the key is first
moved to RUN or START for circuit proveout. The indicator also lights up when the RABS module
detects a malfunction in the system.
The self-test feature contains codes that indicate the area of the malfunction. When a malfunction
is detected, the RABS control module shuts down the system and the yellow anti-lock warning
indicator comes on. This permits normal braking. A code can be retrieved by momentarily
grounding the diagnostic pigtail (black with orange stripe wire) after it is disconnected from KAM
(keep-alive power red wire) and counting the flashes of the yellow ABS lamp. To make sure the
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is not lost from memory, the key must be left in the RUN position
before the diagnostic lead is disconnected from KAM power. If more than one diagnostic trouble
code exists, only the first code stored will be displayed. Additional codes will be output only after
the first fault is corrected.

Information > Description and Operation
Charge Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
To alert the vehicle operator of a charging system malfunction when the charge at the alternator
falls below the normal operating range.
OPERATION
When the ignition switch is in START or RUN position, battery current flows through the alternator
warning indicator into regulator at terminal 1 and to ground through the indicator switch. The
electronic control measures a low voltage at terminal A and closes the field switch. This applies
battery voltage to the field through alternator terminal F. With current in the field and the rotor
turning, alternator stator produces a voltage at terminals B and S.
A predetermined voltage at terminal S operates the electronic control to open indicator switch,
which removes ground from alternator warning indicator.
Alternator current output is controlled by current in the field. Average field current depends on
length of time field switch is closed. The electronic control closes field switch when voltage at
terminal A is low and opens switch when voltage is high.

Charge Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If alternator indicator lamp does not light with ignition in ON position and engine not running,
check condition of indicator lamp bulb. If bulb is
satisfactory, check for an open in circuit between ignition switch and regulator terminal.
2. If alternator indicator lamp does not light, disconnect electrical connector from regulator and
connect a jumper wire between 1 terminal of
regulator electrical connector and negative battery post cable clamp. With ignition turned to ON
position, indicator lamp should light.
3. If lamp does not light, check condition of indicator lamp bulb. If bulb is satisfactory, repair open in
circuit between ignition switch and regulator or
replace 500 ohm resistor (if equipped) across indicator lamp, as necessary.

Oil Level Warning Indicator: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
To alert the vehicle operator that the engine oil level is low.
COMPONENTS
The system consists of a float-type sensor mounted to the side of the engine oil pan, an electronic
control module, and an instrument panel warning lamp.
OPERATION
The Check Oil Indicator will light with ignition switch in the START position as a bulb prove-out.
When ignition switch is turned to RUN or START position, the control module determines whether
sensor is grounded (oil low) or ungrounded (oil not low). If oil level is adequate, light will go out in
RUN. If oil level is approximately 1.5 quarts or more low, the relay turns the warning lamp ON. The
lamp will remain ON until ignition is turned OFF. After ignition is turned OFF, module will not reset
for approximately five minutes. This delay allows time for oil drain back before another reading is
allowed to occur. If engine is restarted during this delay period, the last reading will be displayed.

Oil Level Warning Indicator: Testing and Inspection
With oil level at FULL mark on oil dipstick and engine oil warm to assure that oil drains properly
from oil sensor, turn ignition ON and start engine. Warning lamp should come on briefly in START
for bulb test, then go out. Turn engine OFF. Drain two quarts of oil from engine. Wait approximately
five minutes, then restart engine. Warning lamp should come on and stay on. If warning lamp does
not come on check fuse, low oil level relay, low oil level sensor and lamp.

Fig. 8 Magnetic Guage
The magnetic gauge movement consists of three primary coils, one of which is wound at a 90
degree angle to the other two. The coils form a magnetic field which varies in direction according to
the variable resistance of the sender unit which is connected between two of them. A primary
magnet which is attached to a shaft and pointer rotates to align to this primary field resulting in
pointer position. The bobbin/coil assembly is pressed into a metal housing which is attached to the
instrument cluster. These gauges require no adjustments, calibrations or maintenance. This gauge
system does not use an IVR.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
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 engine is idling, even though oil pressure
is adequate. However, light should go out when engine speed is increased.

ISSUE
Corporate, municipal, or police fleets may have had their Ford Motor Company vehicle modified to
flash the brake lamps whenever the "police lights" or other aftermarket lights are turned on. These
added "police lights" have the potential to disable the brake shift interlock system. The brake shift
interlock feature prevents the vehicle from being shifted from park unless the brake pedal is
depressed. Disabling of the brake shift interlock feature may enable the operator to inadvertently
apply the accelerator instead of the brake pedal when shifting from Park to Drive or Reverse gears.
ACTION
As appropriate, dealers should advise owners (including corporate, municipal, and police agencies)
that any vehicle that has been modified with a connection to the brake circuit, or that electrically
interfaces with the brake lamps in that manner, should be disconnected IMMEDIATELY and the
emergency lighting system should be modified in a manner that does not interfere with normal
service operation or the brake shift interlock. In addition, if the high-mount stoplamp flashes when
the "police lights" are on, the modification does not conform with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards

Installation of warning lights should only be performed with a completely separate electrical system,
without connection to any existing vehicle wiring. Connection of aftermarket electrical equipment
into the brake lamp circuit or any other circuit which is connected to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM), anti-lock brake computer, air bag system, or any other vehicle system, will cause vehicle
malfunction.

ISSUE
Corporate, municipal, or police fleets may have had their Ford Motor Company vehicle modified to
flash the brake lamps whenever the "police lights" or other aftermarket lights are turned on. These
added "police lights" have the potential to disable the brake shift interlock system. The brake shift
interlock feature prevents the vehicle from being shifted from park unless the brake pedal is
depressed. Disabling of the brake shift interlock feature may enable the operator to inadvertently
apply the accelerator instead of the brake pedal when shifting from Park to Drive or Reverse gears.
ACTION
As appropriate, dealers should advise owners (including corporate, municipal, and police agencies)
that any vehicle that has been modified with a connection to the brake circuit, or that electrically
interfaces with the brake lamps in that manner, should be disconnected IMMEDIATELY and the
emergency lighting system should be modified in a manner that does not interfere with normal
service operation or the brake shift interlock. In addition, if the high-mount stoplamp flashes when
the "police lights" are on, the modification does not conform with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards

(FMVSS) 108 which requires that the high-mount stoplamp only illuminate when applying the
brakes.
Installation of warning lights should only be performed with a completely separate electrical system,
without connection to any existing vehicle wiring. Connection of aftermarket electrical equipment
into the brake lamp circuit or any other circuit which is connected to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM), anti-lock brake computer, air bag system, or any other vehicle system, will cause vehicle
malfunction.

ISSUE: The customer may be able to shift the vehicle out of "Park" without depressing the brake
pedal on some vehicles. This may occur if no high mount stoplamp is installed or the bulb filament
is either missing or open, simulating the brake pedal being depressed.
ACTION: Install a jumper harness with a resistor to simulate the presence of a high mount
stoplamp or replace the high mount stoplamp if the bulb is open. Refer to the following Service
Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE - ECONOLINE
1. If a high mount stoplamp is installed, check to make sure the bulb filament is not missing or
open. Repair as required.
2. Locate the -14A200- wire harness along the B-pillar behind the driver's seat.
3. Locate brake test connector C358, Figure 1. This is a 2-way gray connector.
4. Install the jumper into the connector.
5. Wrap the main body wire harness with polyken tape. This will hold the connector in place and
prevent any rattles of the connector to the B-pillar.
SERVICE PROCEDURE - F-SERIES
1. Check to make sure the high mount stoplamp bulb filament is not missing or open. Repair as
required.
2. Locate the -14334- wire harness in the rear of the cab near the center high mount stoplamp.

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.

contacting the sheet metal. Refer to the 1995 Econoline Service Manual, Page 01-05-09, for door

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.

URETHANE MOUNTED GLASS MATERIAL
USAGE PROCEDURE
REMOVAL
1. If necessary, remove the windshield wiper mounting arm, pivot shafts and leaf screen along
cowl. Remove the inside rear view mirror, all windshield garnish mouldings, A-pillar mouldings and
lower headliner.
2. Use Rotunda Interior Cut-Out Knife (164-R2450 or 164-R2451) or equivalent to cut urethane.
Refer to the manufacturer's instructions when using tool.
CAUTION:
USE CARE WHEN CUTTING THROUGH SEAL TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE INSTRUMENT
PANEL, REAR PACKAGE TRAY, HEADLINER OR INTERIOR TRIM.
3. Remove glass from vehicle using a suitable glass removal tool.
INSTALLATION
1. Trim the urethane left on the flange with a utility knife or razor blade until the surface is smooth
and free of cuts. Even up the urethane remaining on the pinch weld so it is all at the same level
(approximately 1/16" or 1.6 mm).
2. Apply Essex Urethane Pinchweld Primer U-413 to any sheet metal that has been exposed along
the pinch weld. Let dry for a minimum of 6-10 minutes before proceeding. Do not apply primer to
existing urethane bead.
3. Properly align glass to body. Place the glass in the opening and center it from top to bottom and
side to side with about equal clearance on all sides. Using masking tape or crayon, make alignment
points on each of the four (4) sides of the glass and body.
4. Remove the windshield from the vehicle and place it inside up, on a low stable work surface.
5. Clean the glass with a non-alcohol based glass cleaner such as Essex Glass And Surface
Cleaner GC-800.
6. Install rear view mirror bracket. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual for installation details.
7. Apply two (2) coats of Urethane Glass Prep U-401 to inner edge of the windshield. Wipe off
material immediately after each application.
NOTE:
WIPE OFF URETHANE GLASS PREP U-401 IMMEDIATELY AFTER EACH APPLICATION.
8. Apply Essex Primer U-402 to the same glass area as U-401. Allow to dry 5 minutes.
9. Install foam dam tape on pinch weld, if required.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Windshield > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Technical Service Bulletins for Windshield: > 95121 > Jun > 95 > Windshield - Material Usage Procedure > Page 9038
10. Cut the nozzle of the Essex Urethane Auto Glass Adhesive U-4OOHV (Figure 1) and apply a
triangular bead of urethane 5/8" (16 mm) by 3/8" (9 mm) wide around the perimeter of the pinch
weld.
11. Install the glass into the opening taking care to align the marks previously designated. Press
glass into place until full contact is made with urethane adhesive. Glass must be installed before
urethane skins over.
NOTE:
BEFORE INSTALLING GLASS, OPEN THE WINDOWS TO PREVENT THE GLASS FROM
BEING PUSHED OUT BY AIR PRESSURE IF A DOOR IS CLOSED.
12. If necessary, reinstall all mouldings and trim previously removed.
CAUTION:
WHEN REPLACING URETHANE INSTALLED GLASS, THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN
UNTIL THE URETHANE HAS CURED. THIS WILL PREVENT THE GLASS FROM BEING
JARRED OUT OF POSITION AND HELP ENSURE APPROPRIATE WINDSHIELD RETENTION
TO MEET SAFETY AND STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS.
NOTE:
USE ONLY URETHANE FOR SERVICE OF AIR AND WATER LEAKS ON URETHANE
INSTALLED GLASS.
These products are required for urethane mounted glass replacement:
