Removal
CAUTION: Electronic modules are sensitive to static electrical charges. If exposed to these
charges, damage to the module may result.
NOTE:
- Prior to the removal of the module, it is necessary to upload the module configuration information
to a scan tool. This information must be downloaded into the new vehicle security module (VSM)
after installation. to carry out programmable module installation (PMI).
- For the VSM to accept the PMI procedure, the following conditions must be met:
a. the headlamp switch must be in the OFF position (must not be in the AUTOLAMP position, if
equipped) b. the key must be in the ON position c. the driver door must be open d. the doors must
be unlocked electronically by pressing the door lock control switch to the UNLOCK position
momentarily
Failure to follow this procedure will result in the PMI procedure to fail.
- The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) functionality is integral to the VSM.
- A new VSM is delivered in a "manufacturing mode" with 6 pre-set DTCs. These DTCs require that
a successful configuration of the VSM occurs, then a successful TPMS sensor training occurs, then
a successful self-test occurs, including the clearing of all DTCs. This is required in order to clear
the 6 manufacturing mode DTCs. They are as follows: B2477 (Module Configuration Failure)
- B2868 (Left Front Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)
- B2869 (Right Front Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)
- B2870 (Right Rear Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)
- B2871 (Left Rear Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)

1. NOTE: This step is only necessary if the VSM is being replaced.
Upload the module configuration information from the VSM into the scan tool.
2. Turn the key to the OFF position. 3. Remove the LH B-pillar trim panel. 4. Disconnect the 2 VSM
electrical connectors. 5. Remove the 2 screws and the VSM.
Installation
1. NOTE: If it is necessary to install new VSM mounting screw J-clips, they are available using part
number W520822.
Position the VSM and install the 2 screws. Tighten to 7 Nm (62 lb-in).
2. Connect the 2 VSM electrical connectors.
3. NOTE: If the VSM is not being replaced, this is the last step that is necessary.
Install the LH B-pillar trim panel.
4. NOTE: When successful, this step provides the calibration necessary for the VSM operation and
clears DTC B2477. The clearing of the DTC
indicates the calibration data has been successfully downloaded to the VSM.
Download the VSM configuration information from the scan tool to the VSM.
5. NOTE: When successful, this step clears DTCs B2868, B2869, B2870 and B2871. The clearing
of these DTCs indicates the VSM has
recognized the tire pressure sensors during the training procedure.
Train the tire pressure sensors.
6. NOTE:
- DTC C2780 will not clear if any other DTCs are present in the VSM.
- This step is required to clear DTC C2780, allow the VSM to exit the manufacturing mode, and to
make sure there are no other concerns with the newly programmed VSM.
Carry out the VSM on-demand self-test by clearing the DTCs and then retrieving the DTCs to
confirm all DTCs have been cleared.

Compressor Clutch Relay: Description and Operation
AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) CLUTCH RELAY (A/CCR)
NOTE: The PCM PIDs WAC and wide open throttle air conditioning cutoff fault (WACF) are used to
monitor the A/CCR output.
The A/CCR is wired normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch
or electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) module and the A/C clutch. The PCM receives
a signal indicating that A/C is requested. For some applications, this message is sent through the
communications network. When A/C is requested, the PCM checks other A/C related inputs that
are available, such as A/C pressure switch and A/C cycling switch. If these inputs indicate A/C
operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (coolant temperature, engine RPM, throttle
position), the PCM grounds the A/CCR output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to
the A/CCR.

Electronic Throttle Control Module: Description and Operation
TORQUE BASED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC)
Overview
The torque based ETC is a hardware and software strategy that delivers an engine output torque
(via throttle angle) based on driver demand (pedal position). It uses an electronic throttle body, the
powertrain control module (PCM), and an accelerator pedal assembly to control the throttle
opening and engine torque.
Torque based ETC enables aggressive automatic transmission shift schedules (earlier upshifts and
later downshifts). This is possible by adjusting the throttle angle to achieve the same wheel torque
during shifts, and by calculating this desired torque, the system prevents engine lugging (low RPM
and low manifold vacuum) while still delivering the performance and torque requested by the driver.
It also enables many fuel economy/emission improvement technologies such as variable camshaft
timing (VCT) (deliver same torque during transitions).
Torque based ETC also results in less intrusive vehicle and engine speed limiting, along with
smoother traction control.
Other benefits of ETC are: eliminate cruise control actuators
- eliminate idle air control (IAC) valve
- better airflow range
- packaging (no cable)
- more responsive powertrain at altitude and improved shift quality
The ETC system illuminates a powertrain malfunction indicator (wrench) on the instrument cluster
when a concern is present. Concerns are accompanied by diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and
may also illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
Electronic Throttle Body (ETB)
The ETB has the following characteristics: -
The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor is a DC motor controlled by the PCM (requires 2-wires).
- There are 2 designs: parallel and in-line. The parallel design has the motor under the bore parallel
to the plate shaft. The motor housing is integrated into the main housing. The in-line design has a
separate motor housing.
- An internal spring is used in both designs to return the throttle plate to a default position. The
default position is typically a throttle angle of 7 to 8 degrees from the hard stop angle.
- The closed throttle plate hard stop is used to prevent the throttle from binding in the bore
(approximately 0.75 degree). This hard stop setting is not adjustable and is set to result in less
airflow than the minimum engine airflow required at idle.
- The required idle airflow is provided by the plate angle in the throttle body assembly. This plate
angle controls idle, idle quality, and eliminates the need for an IAC valve.
- There is 1 reference voltage and 1 signal return circuit between the PCM and the ETB. The
reference voltage circuit and the signal return circuit is shared with the reference voltage circuits
and signal return circuits used by the APP sensor. There are also 2 TP signal circuits for
redundancy. The redundant TP signals are required for increased monitoring reasons. The first TP
signal (TP1) has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and the second signal
(TP2) has a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). The TP2 signal reaches a limit of
approximately 4.5 volts at approximately 45 degrees of throttle angle.
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor
Depending on the application either a 2-track or 3-track APP sensor is used.

The torque based ETC strategy was developed to improve fuel economy and to accommodate
variable camshaft timing (VCT). This is possible by not coupling the throttle angle to the driver
pedal position. Uncoupling the throttle angle (produce engine torque) from the pedal position (driver
demand) allows the powertrain control strategy to optimize fuel control and transmission shift
schedules while delivering the requested wheel torque.
The ETC monitor system is distributed across 2 processors within the PCM: the main powertrain
control processor unit (CPU) and a separate monitoring processor. The primary monitoring function
is carried out by the independent plausibility check (IPC) software, which resides on the main
processor. It is responsible for determining the driver-demanded torque and comparing it to an
estimate of the actual torque delivered. If the generated torque exceeds driver demand by a
specified amount, appropriate corrective action is taken.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.

Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Engine Control Module: Procedures
FLASH ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ ONLY MEMORY (EEPROM)
Description
The EEPROM is contained in an integrated circuit internal to the powertrain control module (PCM).
The EEPROM contains the vehicle strategy including calibration information specific to the vehicle,
and is capable of being programmed or flashed repeatedly.
As part of the calibration there is an area referred to as the vehicle identification (VID) block. The
VID block is programmed when installing a new PCM as described under Programming the VID
Block for a Replacement PCM. Failure to carry out this procedure may generate DTCs PI635 or
P1639. The VID block in an existing PCM can also be tailored to accommodate various hardware
or parameter changes made to the vehicle since production. Failure to carry out this procedure
properly may generate DTC P1635, Tire/Axle Ratio out of Acceptable Range. An incorrect tire/axle
ratio is one of the main causes for DTC P1639. This is described under Making Changes to the VID
Block and also under Making Changes to the PCM Calibration. The VID block contains many items
used by the strategy for a variety of functions. Some of these items include the vehicle identification
number (VIN), octane adjust, fuel octane, fuel type, vehicle speed limit, tire size, axle ratio, the
presence of speed control, and 4-wheel drive electronic shift-on-the-fly (ESOF) versus manual
shift-on-the-fly (MSOF). Only items applicable to the vehicle hardware and supported by the VID
block is displayed on the scan tool.
When changing items in the VID block, the strategy places range limits on certain items such as
tire and axle ratio. The number of times the VID block may be reconfigured is limited. When this
limit is reached, the scan tool displays a message indicating the need to flash the PCM again to
reset the VID block.
Programming can be carried out by a local Ford dealer or any non-Ford facility. Refer to the scan
tool manufacturer's instruction manual for details.
Programming the VID Block for a Replacement PCM
A new PCM contains the latest strategy and calibration level for a particular vehicle. However, the
VID block is blank and needs programming. There are 2 procedures available. The first is an
automatic data transfer from the old PCM to the new PCM, and the second is manual data entry
into the new PCM.
Automatic data transfer is carried out if the old PCM is capable of communicating. This is done by
using a scan tool to retrieve data from the old PCM before removing it from the vehicle. The stored
data can then be downloaded to the new PCM after it has been installed.
Carry out manual data entry if the old module is damaged or incapable of communicating. Remove
and install a new PCM. Using a compatible scan tool, select and carry out the module/parameter
programming, referring to the scan tool manufacturer's instruction manual. Make certain that all
parameters are included. Failure to properly program tire size in revolutions per mile, (rev/mile
equals 63,360 divided by the tire circumference in inches), axle ratio, 4x4/4x2, and/or MSOF/ESOF
may result in DTCs P1635 and P1639. You may be instructed to contact the As-Built Data Center
for the information needed to manually update the VID block with the scan tool. Contact the center
only if the old PCM cannot be used or the data is corrupt. For Ford and Lincoln Mercury
technicians, contact your National Hotline or the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website for
As-Built data listed under the Service Publications Index. Non-Ford technicians use the
Motorcraft(R) website at www.motorcraft.com. From the Motorcraft(R) homepage, use the search
function to find the Module Programming or As-Built Data.
For Ford and Lincoln Mercury technicians, check the Programmable Module Installation link on the
PTS website for quick Programmable Module data information by vehicle.
Making Changes to the VID Block
A PCM which is programmed may require changes to be made to certain VID information to
accommodate the vehicle hardware. Refer to Module Reprogramming on the scan tool.
Making Changes to the PCM Calibration
At certain times, the entire EEPROM needs to be completely reprogrammed. This is due to
changes made to the strategy or calibration after production, or the need to reset the VID block
because it has reached its limit. Refer to Module Reprogramming on the scan tool.

Air Bag Control Module: Service and Repair
RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM)
Removal
WARNING:
- If a vehicle has been in a crash, inspect the restraints control module (RCM) and the impact
sensor (if equipped) mounting areas for deformation. If damaged, restore the mounting areas to the
original production configuration. A new RCM and sensors must be installed whether or not the air
bags have deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or
death in a crash.
- Always tighten the fasteners of the restraints control module (RCM) and impact sensor (if
equipped) to the specified torque. Failure to do so may result in incorrect restraint system
operation, which increases the risk of personal injury or death in a crash.
CAUTION: Electronic modules are sensitive to static electrical charges. If exposed to these
charges, damage can result.
NOTE:
- When installing a new restraints control module (RCM), always make sure the correct RCM is
being installed. If an incorrect RCM is installed, erroneous DTCs will result.
- The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is
ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
- Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install
the original part and carry out the diagnostic procedure again.
1. Depower the SRS. 2. If equipped, remove the floor console. 3. If equipped, remove the 20
percent front seat cushion. Pull up to release the retainers on the 20 percent front seat cushion and
remove. 4. Disconnect the RCM large electrical connector.
1 Pinch the thumb tab and pivot the connector position assurance lever all the way back until it
stops.
2 Pull out and disconnect the RCM electrical connector.

Radiator Cooling Fan Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
FAN SPEED SENSOR (FSS)
Cooling Fan Clutch With FSS
The FSS is a Hall-effect sensor that measures the cooling fan clutch speed by generating a
waveform with a frequency proportional to the fan speed. If the cooling fan clutch is moving at a
relatively low speed, the sensor produces a signal with a low frequency. As the cooling fan clutch
speed increases, the sensor generates a signal with a higher frequency. The PCM uses the
frequency signal generated by the FSS as a feedback for closed loop control of the cooling fan
clutch.

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE (CHT) SENSOR
Typical CHT Sensor
The CHT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with the temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as temperature increases, and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
The CHT sensor is installed in the cylinder head and measures the metal temperature. The CHT
sensor can provide complete engine temperature information and can be used to infer coolant
temperature. If the CHT sensor conveys an overheating condition to the PCM, the PCM initiates a
fail-safe cooling strategy based on information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system concern
such as low coolant or coolant loss could cause an overheating condition. As a result, damage to
major engine components could occur. Using both the CHT sensor and fail-safe cooling strategy,
the PCM prevents damage by allowing air cooling of the engine and limp home capability.

Brake Switch (Cruise Control): Description and Operation
Brake Pedal Position (BPP) Switch
Typical BPP Switch
The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows: to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.
- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.
- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.
Brake Pedal Switch (BPS)/Brake Deactivator Switch
The BPS, also called the brake deactivator switch, is for vehicle speed control deactivation. A
normally closed switch supplies battery positive voltage (B+) to the PCM when the brake pedal is
not applied. When the brake pedal is applied, the normally closed switch opens and power is
removed from the PCM.
On some applications the normally closed BPS, along with the normally open BPP switch, are used
for a brake rationality test within the PCM. The PCM misfire monitor profile learn function may be
disabled if a brake switch concern occurs. If one or both brake pedal inputs to the PCM is not

CLUTCH PEDAL POSITION (CPP) SWITCH
Typical Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) Switch
The CPP switch is an input to the PCM indicating the clutch pedal position. The PCM provides a
low current voltage on the CPP circuit. When the CPP switch is closed, this voltage is pulled low
through the SIG RTN circuit. The CPP input to the PCM is used to detect a reduction in engine
load. The PCM uses the load information for mass air flow and fuel calculations.

Oil Temperature Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE (EOT) SENSOR
Typical EOT Sensor
The EOT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance changes the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The EOT sensor measures the temperature of the engine oil. The sensor is typically threaded into
the engine oil lubrication system. The PCM can use the EOT sensor input to determine the
following:
- On variable camshaft timing (VCT) applications the EOT input is used to adjust the VCT control
gains and logic for camshaft timing.
- The PCM can use EOT sensor input in conjunction with other PCM inputs to determine oil
degradation.
- The PCM can use EOT sensor input to initiate a soft engine shutdown. To prevent engine
damage from occurring as a result of high oil temperatures, the PCM has the ability to initiate a soft
engine shutdown. Whenever engine RPM exceeds a calibrated level for a certain period of time,
the PCM begins reducing power by disabling engine cylinders.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation
AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE (ACET) SENSOR
A/C Evaporator Temperature (ACET) Sensor Voltage And Resistance
The ACET sensor measures the evaporator air discharge temperature. The ACET sensor is a
thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The electrical resistance of a
thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and the resistance increases as the
temperature decreases. The PCM sources a low current 5 volts on the ACET circuit. With SIG RTN
also connected to the ACET sensor, the varying resistance changes the voltage drop across the
sensor terminals. As A/C evaporator air temperature changes, the varying resistance of the ACET
sensor changes the voltage the PCM detects.
The ACET sensor is used to more accurately control A/C clutch cycling, improve defrost/demist
performance, and reduce A/C clutch cycling.
NOTE: These values can vary 15% due to sensor and VREF variations. Voltage values were
calculated for VREF equals 5.0 volts.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation A/C Cycling Switch
A/C CYCLING SWITCH
The A/C cycling switch is mounted on a Schrader valve-type fitting on the suction accumulator.
- A valve depressor, located inside the threaded end of the A/C cycling switch, presses in on the
Schrader valve stem.
- This allows the suction pressure to control the operation of the A/C cycling switch.
- Battery voltage is present at one side of the A/C cycling switch at all times when the ignition
switch is in the RUN position.
- When the switch contacts are closed, the battery voltage circuit is completed to the PCM to signal
that the low-side refrigerant system pressure is acceptable for A/C compressor operation.
- When the switch contacts are open, the battery voltage circuit is opened to signal the PCM that
the low-side refrigerant system pressure is too low for A/C compressor operation.
- The A/C cycling switch will control the evaporator core pressure at a point where the plate/fin
surface temperature will be maintained slightly above freezing.
- This prevents icing of the evaporator core and blockage of airflow.
- It is not necessary to recover the refrigerant to remove the A/C cycling switch.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Air Conditioning (A/C) Cycling
Switch
Air Conditioning (A/C) Cycling Switch
The A/C cycling switch may be wired to either the ACCS or ACPSW PCM input. When the A/C
cycling switch opens, the PCM turns off the A/C clutch. For information on the specific function of
the A/C cycling switch, refer to Heating and Air Conditioning, Climate Control System Air
Conditioning System Overview. Also, refer to the applicable Vehicle/Diagrams for vehicle specific
wiring.
If the ACCS signal is not received by the PCM, the PCM circuit will not allow the A/C to operate.
Some applications do not have a dedicated (separate) input to the PCM indicating that A/C is
requested. This information is received by the PCM through the communication link.
Air Conditioning (A/C) High Pressure Switch
The A/C high pressure switch is used for additional A/C system pressure control. The A/C high
pressure switch is either dual function for multiple speed, relay controlled electric fan applications,
or single function for all others.
For refrigerant containment control, the normally closed high pressure contacts open at a
predetermined A/C pressure. This results in the A/C turning off, preventing the A/C pressure from
rising to a level that would open the A/C high pressure relief valve.
For fan control, the normally open medium pressure contacts close at a predetermined A/C
pressure. This grounds the ACPSW circuit input to the PCM. The PCM then turns on the high
speed fan to help reduce the pressure.
For additional information, refer to Heating and Air Conditioning, Climate Control System, Air
Conditioning System Overview or Vehicle/Diagrams.

The ACP transducer sensor is located in the high pressure (discharge) side of the A/C system. The
ACP transducer sensor provides a voltage signal to the PCM that is proportional to the A/C
pressure. The PCM uses this information for A/C clutch control, fan control and idle speed control.

The FP module is a device that contains the fuel pump and sender assembly. The fuel pump is
located inside the FP module reservoir and supplies fuel through the FP module manifold to the
engine and FP module jet pump. The jet pump continuously refills the reservoir with fuel, and a
check valve located in the manifold outlet maintains system pressure when the fuel pump is not
energized. A flapper valve located in the bottom of the reservoir allows fuel to enter the reservoir
and prime the fuel pump during the initial fill.
Fuel Pump (FP) Module and Reservoir
The FP module is mounted inside the fuel tank in a reservoir. The pump has a discharge check
valve that maintains the system pressure after the key has been turned off to minimize starting
concerns. The reservoir prevents fuel flow interruptions during extreme vehicle maneuvers with low
tank fill levels.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation
BRAKE PEDAL POSITION (BPP) SWITCH
Typical BPP Switch
The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows:
- to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.
- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.
- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR
The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
amount of torque requested by the operator. Depending on the application either a 2-track or
3-track APP sensor is used.
2-Track APP Sensor
2-Track APP Sensor
There are 2 pedal position signals in the sensor. Both signals, APP1 and APP2, have a positive
slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage), but are offset and increase at different rates. The 2
pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern.
The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating where it should be, inferred from the
other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits the other input is used. There are 2
reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 2 signal circuits (a total of 6 circuits and pins)
between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The reference voltage circuits and the signal
return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit and signal return circuit used by the
electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor. The pedal position signal is converted to
pedal travel degrees (rotary angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to
counts, which is the input to the torque based strategy.
3-Track APP Sensor
Typical 3-Track APP Sensor
There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APP1, has a negative slope (increasing
angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APP2 and APP3, both have a positive slope
(increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APP1 is used as the indication of
pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct
input even if 1 signal has a concern. The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating
where it should be, inferred from the other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits
the other inputs are used. The pedal position signal is converted to pedal travel degrees (rotary
angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to counts, which is the input to the
torque based strategy. There are 2 reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 3 signal
circuits (a total of 7 circuits and pins) between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The
reference voltage circuits and the signal return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit
and signal return circuit used by the electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Air Flow Meter/Sensor > Component Information > Locations > Page 664
Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR
Typical Synchronizer Hall-Effect CMP Sensor
Typical Variable Reluctance CMP Sensor
The CMP sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor identifies when piston
number 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the PCM and used for synchronizing
the sequential firing of the fuel injectors. Coil on plug (COP) ignition applications use the CMP
signal to select the correct ignition coil to fire.
Vehicles with 2 CMP sensors are equipped with variable camshaft timing (VCT). They use the
second sensor to identify the position of the camshaft on bank 2 as an input to the PCM.
There are 2 types of CMP sensors: the 3-pin connector Hall-effect type sensor and the 2-pin
connector variable reluctance type sensor.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR
Typical Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The CKP sensor is a magnetic transducer mounted on the engine block adjacent to a pulse wheel
located on the crankshaft. By monitoring the crankshaft mounted pulse wheel, the CKP is the
primary sensor for ignition information to the PCM. The pulse wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced
10 degrees apart with one empty space for a missing tooth. The 6.8L 10-cylinder pulse wheel has
39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9 degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring
the pulse wheel, the CKP sensor signal indicates crankshaft position and speed information to the
PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP sensor is also able to identify piston travel in order
to synchronize the ignition system and provide a way of tracking the angular position of the
crankshaft relative to a fixed reference for the CKP sensor configuration. The PCM also uses the
CKP signal to determine if a misfire has occurred by measuring rapid decelerations between teeth.

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE (CHT) SENSOR
Typical CHT Sensor
The CHT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with the temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as temperature increases, and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
The CHT sensor is installed in the cylinder head and measures the metal temperature. The CHT
sensor can provide complete engine temperature information and can be used to infer coolant
temperature. If the CHT sensor conveys an overheating condition to the PCM, the PCM initiates a
fail-safe cooling strategy based on information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system concern
such as low coolant or coolant loss could cause an overheating condition. As a result, damage to
major engine components could occur. Using both the CHT sensor and fail-safe cooling strategy,
the PCM prevents damage by allowing air cooling of the engine and limp home capability.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
Typical Stand-Alone/Non-Integrated Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensors
Typical Integrated Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Incorporated Into A Drop-in Or Flange-type
MAF Sensor
The IAT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The electrical
resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and the resistance increases
as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across the sensor
terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The IAT provides air temperature information to the PCM. The PCM uses the air temperature
information as a correction factor in the calculation of

fuel, spark, and air flow.
The IAT sensor provides a quicker temperature change response time than the ECT or CHT
sensor.
Currently there are 2 design types of IAT sensors used, a stand-alone/non-integrated type and a
integrated type. Both types function the same, however the integrated type is incorporated into the
mass air flow (MAF) sensor instead of being a stand alone sensor.
Supercharged vehicles use 2 IAT sensors. Both sensors are thermistor type devices and operate
as described above. One is located before the supercharger at the air cleaner for standard
OBD/cold weather input, while a second sensor (IAT2) is located after the supercharger in the
intake manifold. The IAT2 sensor located after the supercharger provides air temperature
information to the PCM to control spark and to help determine charge air cooler (CAC) efficiency.

725
Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

Typical EOT Sensor
The EOT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance changes the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The EOT sensor measures the temperature of the engine oil. The sensor is typically threaded into
the engine oil lubrication system. The PCM can use the EOT sensor input to determine the
following:
- On variable camshaft timing (VCT) applications the EOT input is used to adjust the VCT control
gains and logic for camshaft timing.
- The PCM can use EOT sensor input in conjunction with other PCM inputs to determine oil
degradation.
- The PCM can use EOT sensor input to initiate a soft engine shutdown. To prevent engine
damage from occurring as a result of high oil temperatures, the PCM has the ability to initiate a soft
engine shutdown. Whenever engine RPM exceeds a calibrated level for a certain period of time,
the PCM begins reducing power by disabling engine cylinders.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
The HO2S detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust and produces a variable voltage
according to the amount of oxygen detected. A high concentration of oxygen (lean air/fuel ratio) in
the exhaust produces a voltage signal less than 0.4 volt. A low concentration of oxygen (rich
air/fuel ratio) produces a voltage signal greater than 0.6 volt. The HO2S provides feedback to the
PCM indicating air/fuel ratio in order to achieve a near stoichiometric air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1 during
closed loop engine operation. The HO2S generates a voltage between 0.0 and 1.1 volts.
Embedded with the sensing element is the HO2S heater. The heating element heats the sensor to
a temperature of 800°C (1,472°F). At approximately 300°C (572°F) the engine can enter closed
loop operation. The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater. The PCM turns the heater on by
providing the ground when the correct conditions occur. The heater allows the engine to enter
closed loop operation sooner. The use of this heater requires the HO2S heater control to be duty
cycled, to prevent damage to the heater.
Universal HO2S
The universal HO2S, sometimes referred to as a wideband oxygen sensor, uses the typical HO2S
combined with a current controller in the PCM to infer an air/fuel ratio relative to the stoichiometric
air/fuel ratio. This is accomplished by balancing the amount of oxygen ions pumped in or out of a
measurement chamber within the sensor. The typical HO2S within the universal HO2S is used to
detect the oxygen content of the exhaust gas in the measurement chamber. The oxygen content
inside the measurement chamber is maintained at the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio by pumping
oxygen ions in and out of the measurement chamber. As the exhaust gasses get richer or leaner,
the amount of oxygen that must be pumped in or out to maintain a stoichiometric air/fuel ratio in the
measurement chamber varies in proportion to the air/fuel ratio. The amount of current required to
pump the oxygen ions in or out of the measurement chamber is used to measure the air/fuel ratio.
The measured air/fuel ratio is actually the output from the current controller in the PCM and not a
signal that comes directly from the sensor.
The universal HO2S also uses a self-contained reference chamber to make sure an oxygen
differential is always present. The oxygen for the reference chamber is supplied by pumping small
amounts of oxygen ions from the measurement chamber into the reference chamber. The universal
HO2S does not need access to outside air.
Part to part variance is compensated for by placing a resistor in the connector. This resistor is used
to trim the current measured by the current controller in the PCM.
Embedded with the sensing element is the universal H02S heater. The heater allows the engine to
enter closed loop operation sooner. The heating element heats the sensor to a temperature of
780°C (1,436°F). The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater. The PCM controls the heater on
and off by providing the ground to maintain the sensor at the correct temperature for maximum
accuracy.

Power Steering Pressure Switch: Description and Operation
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor
Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor
The PSP sensor monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system. The PSP
sensor voltage input to the PCM changes as the hydraulic pressure changes. The PCM uses the
input signal from the PSP sensor to compensate for additional loads on the engine by adjusting the
idle RPM and preventing engine stall during parking maneuvers. Also, the PSP sensor signals the
PCM to adjust the transmission electronic pressure control (EPC) pressure during increased
engine load, for example, during parking maneuvers.
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
The PSP switch monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system. The PSP switch
is a normally closed switch that opens as the hydraulic pressure increases. The PCM provides a
low current voltage on the PSP circuit. When the PSP switch is closed, this voltage is pulled low
through the SIG RTN circuit. The PCM uses the input signal from the PSP switch to compensate
for additional loads on the engine by adjusting the idle RPM and preventing engine stall during
parking maneuvers. Also, the PSP switch signals the PCM to adjust the transmission electronic
pressure control (EPC) pressure during increased engine load, for example during parking
maneuvers.

Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor
Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor is a ceramic, capacitive-type pressure transducer
that monitors the differential pressure across a metering orifice located in the orifice tube assembly.
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor receives this signal through 2 hoses referred to as
the downstream pressure hose (REF SIGNAL) and upstream pressure hose (HI SIGNAL). The HI
and REF hose connections are marked on the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor housing
for identification (note that the HI signal uses a larger diameter hose). The differential pressure
feedback EGR sensor outputs a voltage proportional to the pressure drop across the metering
orifice and supplies it to the PCM as EGR flow rate feedback.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) Throttle Position Sensor
The ETB throttle position sensor has 2 signal circuits in the sensor for redundancy. The redundant
ETB throttle position signals are required for increased monitoring. The first ETB throttle position
sensor signal (TP1) has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and the second
signal (TP2) has a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). The 2 ETB throttle position
sensor signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern. There is
1 reference voltage circuit and 1 signal return circuit for the sensor. The reference voltage circuit
and the signal return circuit is shared with the reference voltage circuits and signal return circuits
used by the APP sensor.
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
Typical TP Sensor
The TP sensor is a rotary potentiometer sensor that provides a signal to the PCM that is linearly
proportional to the throttle plate/shaft position. The sensor housing has a 3-blade electrical
connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases the corrosion resistance on the
terminals and increases the connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body.
As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, 4 operating conditions are determined by the PCM
from the TP. The operating conditions are: closed throttle (includes idle or deceleration)
- part throttle (includes cruise or moderate acceleration)
- wide open throttle (includes maximum acceleration or de-choke on crank)
- throttle angle rate

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 790
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor
The OSS sensor provides the PCM with information about the rotational speed of an output shaft.
The PCM uses the information to control and diagnose powertrain behavior. In some applications,
the sensor is also used as the source of vehicle speed. The sensor may be physically located in
different places on the vehicle, depending upon the specific application. The design of each speed
sensor is unique and depends on which powertrain control feature uses the information that is
generated.
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
Typical Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The VSS is a variable reluctance or Hall-effect sensor that generates a waveform with a frequency
that is proportional to the speed of the vehicle. If the vehicle is moving at a relatively low velocity,
the sensor produces a signal with a low frequency. As the vehicle velocity increases, the sensor
generates a signal with a higher frequency. The PCM uses the frequency signal generated by the
VSS (and other inputs) to control such parameters as fuel injection, ignition control,
transmission/transaxle shift scheduling, and torque converter clutch scheduling.

Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor
Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor is a ceramic, capacitive-type pressure transducer
that monitors the differential pressure across a metering orifice located in the orifice tube assembly.
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor receives this signal through 2 hoses referred to as
the downstream pressure hose (REF SIGNAL) and upstream pressure hose (HI SIGNAL). The HI
and REF hose connections are marked on the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor housing
for identification (note that the HI signal uses a larger diameter hose). The differential pressure
feedback EGR sensor outputs a voltage proportional to the pressure drop across the metering
orifice and supplies it to the PCM as EGR flow rate feedback.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR
The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
amount of torque requested by the operator. Depending on the application either a 2-track or
3-track APP sensor is used.
2-Track APP Sensor
2-Track APP Sensor
There are 2 pedal position signals in the sensor. Both signals, APP1 and APP2, have a positive
slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage), but are offset and increase at different rates. The 2
pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern.
The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating where it should be, inferred from the
other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits the other input is used. There are 2
reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 2 signal circuits (a total of 6 circuits and pins)
between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The reference voltage circuits and the signal
return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit and signal return circuit used by the
electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor. The pedal position signal is converted to
pedal travel degrees (rotary angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to
counts, which is the input to the torque based strategy.
3-Track APP Sensor
Typical 3-Track APP Sensor
There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APP1, has a negative slope (increasing
angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APP2 and APP3, both have a positive slope
(increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APP1 is used as the indication of
pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct
input even if 1 signal has a concern. The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating
where it should be, inferred from the other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits
the other inputs are used. The pedal position signal is converted to pedal travel degrees (rotary
angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to counts, which is the input to the
torque based strategy. There are 2 reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 3 signal
circuits (a total of 7 circuits and pins) between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The
reference voltage circuits and the signal return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit
and signal return circuit used by the electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Air Flow Meter/Sensor > Component Information > Locations > Page 835
Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

Fuel Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
FUEL RAIL PRESSURE TEMPERATURE (FRPT) SENSOR
Typical Fuel Rail Pressure Temperature (FRPT) Sensor
The FRPT sensor measures the pressure and temperature of the fuel in the fuel rail and sends
these signals to the PCM. The sensor uses the intake manifold vacuum as a reference to
determine the pressure difference between the fuel rail and the intake manifold. The relationship
between fuel pressure and fuel temperature is used to determine the possible presence of fuel
vapor in the fuel rail.
The temperature sensing portion of the FRPT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance
changes with temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as the temperature
increases, and the resistance increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance
changes the voltage drop across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM
corresponding to temperature.
Both the pressure and temperature signals are used to control the speed of the fuel pump. The
speed of the fuel pump sustains fuel rail pressure which preserves fuel in its liquid state. The
dynamic range of the fuel injectors increase because of the higher rail pressure, which allows the
injector pulse width to decrease.

The IFS switch is used in conjunction with the electric fuel pump. The purpose of the IFS switch is
to shutoff the fuel pump if a collision occurs. It consists of a steel ball held in place by a magnet.
When a sharp impact occurs, the ball breaks loose from the magnet, rolls up a conical ramp and
strikes a target plate which opens the electrical contacts of the switch and shuts off the electric fuel
pump. Once the switch is open, it must be manually reset before restarting the vehicle. Refer to the

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) Throttle Position Sensor
The ETB throttle position sensor has 2 signal circuits in the sensor for redundancy. The redundant
ETB throttle position signals are required for increased monitoring. The first ETB throttle position
sensor signal (TP1) has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and the second
signal (TP2) has a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). The 2 ETB throttle position
sensor signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern. There is
1 reference voltage circuit and 1 signal return circuit for the sensor. The reference voltage circuit
and the signal return circuit is shared with the reference voltage circuits and signal return circuits
used by the APP sensor.
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
Typical TP Sensor
The TP sensor is a rotary potentiometer sensor that provides a signal to the PCM that is linearly
proportional to the throttle plate/shaft position. The sensor housing has a 3-blade electrical
connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases the corrosion resistance on the
terminals and increases the connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body.
As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, 4 operating conditions are determined by the PCM
from the TP. The operating conditions are: closed throttle (includes idle or deceleration)
- part throttle (includes cruise or moderate acceleration)
- wide open throttle (includes maximum acceleration or de-choke on crank)
- throttle angle rate

CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR
Typical Synchronizer Hall-Effect CMP Sensor
Typical Variable Reluctance CMP Sensor
The CMP sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor identifies when piston
number 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the PCM and used for synchronizing
the sequential firing of the fuel injectors. Coil on plug (COP) ignition applications use the CMP
signal to select the correct ignition coil to fire.
Vehicles with 2 CMP sensors are equipped with variable camshaft timing (VCT). They use the
second sensor to identify the position of the camshaft on bank 2 as an input to the PCM.
There are 2 types of CMP sensors: the 3-pin connector Hall-effect type sensor and the 2-pin
connector variable reluctance type sensor.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR
Typical Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The CKP sensor is a magnetic transducer mounted on the engine block adjacent to a pulse wheel
located on the crankshaft. By monitoring the crankshaft mounted pulse wheel, the CKP is the
primary sensor for ignition information to the PCM. The pulse wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced
10 degrees apart with one empty space for a missing tooth. The 6.8L 10-cylinder pulse wheel has
39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9 degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring
the pulse wheel, the CKP sensor signal indicates crankshaft position and speed information to the
PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP sensor is also able to identify piston travel in order
to synchronize the ignition system and provide a way of tracking the angular position of the
crankshaft relative to a fixed reference for the CKP sensor configuration. The PCM also uses the
CKP signal to determine if a misfire has occurred by measuring rapid decelerations between teeth.

IMPACT SENSORS
WARNING: If a vehicle has been in a crash, inspect the restraints control module (RCM) and the
impact sensor (if equipped) mounting areas for deformation. If damaged, restore the mounting
areas to the original production configuration. A new RCM and sensors must be installed whether
or not the air bags have deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious
personal injury or death in a crash.
For this vehicle line, the SRS uses one satellite sensor in addition to the RCM. The RCM is
mounted to the center tunnel beneath the 20 percent seat or floor console (if equipped). All
vehicles have one front impact severity sensor located in the front-center area of the vehicle,
behind the grille mounted on the lower radiator support. Mounting orientation is critical for correct
operation of all impact sensors.

Power Steering Pressure Switch: Description and Operation
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor
Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor
The PSP sensor monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system. The PSP
sensor voltage input to the PCM changes as the hydraulic pressure changes. The PCM uses the
input signal from the PSP sensor to compensate for additional loads on the engine by adjusting the
idle RPM and preventing engine stall during parking maneuvers. Also, the PSP sensor signals the
PCM to adjust the transmission electronic pressure control (EPC) pressure during increased
engine load, for example, during parking maneuvers.
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
The PSP switch monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system. The PSP switch
is a normally closed switch that opens as the hydraulic pressure increases. The PCM provides a
low current voltage on the PSP circuit. When the PSP switch is closed, this voltage is pulled low
through the SIG RTN circuit. The PCM uses the input signal from the PSP switch to compensate
for additional loads on the engine by adjusting the idle RPM and preventing engine stall during
parking maneuvers. Also, the PSP switch signals the PCM to adjust the transmission electronic
pressure control (EPC) pressure during increased engine load, for example during parking
maneuvers.

Training
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training
NOTE: If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will go into a "sleep
mode" to conserve battery power. It will be necessary to wake them up so they will transmit the
latest tire pressure information to the vehicle security module (VSM). Refer to Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Activation. See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning
Indicators/Tire Monitoring System/Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning
NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle, in an area
without radio frequency noise and at least 1 m (3 ft) away from other vehicles equipped with tire
pressure monitor system (TPMS). Radio frequency noise is generated by electrical motors and
appliance operation, cellular telephones, remote transmitters, power inverters and portable
entertainment equipment.
NOTE: If a sensor does not respond to the activation tool, attempt to activate the same sensor with
the activation tool. If the sensor still does not respond, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at
least 1/4 of a turn and attempt to activate the same sensor again.
NOTE: The VSM has a 2 minute time limit between sensor responses. If the VSM does not
recognize any 1 of the 4 tire pressure sensors during this time limit, the horn will sound twice and
the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT and the entire
procedure must be repeated.
NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure must be adjusted and the tire pressure sensors must be trained
following a tire rotation. Failure to train the sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate. For
vehicles with the same tire pressures for front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the system.
1. NOTE: Click here to view an animated version of this procedure.
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, then press and release the brake pedal.
2. Cycle the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN
position. 3. Press and release the brake pedal. 4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 5.
Turn the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN
position.
^ The horn will sound once and the TPMS indicator will flash if the training mode has been entered
successfully. If equipped, the message center will display TRAIN LF TIRE.
6. NOTE: It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this time, the
activation tool must remain in place 180 degrees from
the valve stem.
Place the activation tool on the LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the valve stem.
Press and release the test button on the special tool. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the
tire pressure sensor has been recognized by the VSM. Click here to view an animated version of
this procedure.

7. Within 2 minutes of the horn sounding, place the activation tool on the RF tire sidewall opposite
(180°) from the valve stem to train the RF tire
pressure sensor.
8. NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between training each sensor or the VSM will time out
and the entire procedure must be repeated.
Repeat Step 7 for the RR and LR tires. The procedure is completed after the last tire has been
trained. When the training procedure is complete, the message center (if equipped) will display
TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE.
For vehicles not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure
will be verified by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position without the horn sounding. If the
horn sounds twice when the switch is turned to the OFF position, the training procedure was not
successful.
9. Using the scan tool, locate the updated TPMS sensor IDs trained to the VSM and document
them on the applicable warranty claim.
10. NOTE: This step is required to clear DTC C2780, cause the VSM to exit the manufacturing
mode and to make sure there are no other concerns
with a newly programmed VSM.
If the sensors are being trained due to the installation of a new VSM, clear any DTCs and perform
the VSM on-demand self test.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns
The illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will create
intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a physical
evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

Brake Switch - TCC: Description and Operation
BRAKE PEDAL POSITION (BPP) SWITCH
Typical BPP Switch
The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows:
- to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.
- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.
- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.

Overdrive Switch: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Transmission Mode Switch: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Switches - A/T > Transmission Mode Switch, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 1045
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns
The illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will create
intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a physical
evaluation as shown in each illustration.

Transmission Speed Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Switches - A/T > Transmission Speed Sensor, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 1103
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Alignment: Description and Operation
Wheel Alignment Angles
Camber
Negative and Positive Camber
Camber is the vertical tilt of the wheel when viewed from the front. Camber can be positive or
negative and has a direct effect on tire wear.
Caster
Caster is the deviation from vertical of an imaginary line drawn through the ball joints when viewed
from the side. The caster specifications in this section will give the vehicle the best directional
stability characteristics when loaded and driven.
The caster setting is not related to tire wear.
Toe
Positive Toe (Toe In)
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 1199
Negative Toe (Toe Out)
The vehicle toe setting affects tire wear and directional stability.
Incorrect Thrust Angle (Dogtracking)
Incorrect thrust angle (dogtracking) is the condition in which the rear axle is not square to the
chassis.
Heavily crowned roads can give the illusion of dogtracking.
Wander
Wander is the tendency of the vehicle to require frequent, random left and right steering wheel
corrections to maintain a straight path down a level road.
Shimmy
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 1200
Shimmy, as observed by the driver, is large, consistent, rotational oscillations of the steering wheel
resulting from large, side-to-side (lateral) tire/wheel movements.
Shimmy is usually experienced near 64 km/h (40 mph) and can begin or be amplified when the tire
contacts pot holes or irregularities in the road surface.
Nibble
Sometimes confused with shimmy, nibble is a condition resulting from tire interaction with various
road surfaces and observed by the driver as small rotational oscillations of the steering wheel. For
wheel and tire diagnosis, refer to Section 204-04.
Poor Returnability/Sticky Steering
Poor returnability and sticky steering is used to described the poor return of the steering wheel to
center after a turn or the steering correction is completed.
Drift/Pull
Pull is a tugging sensation, felt by the hands on the steering wheel, that must be overcome to keep
the vehicle going straight.
Drift describes what a vehicle with this condition does with hands off the steering wheel. ^
A vehicle-related drift/pull, on a flat road, will cause a consistent deviation from the straight-ahead
path and require constant steering input in the opposite direction to counteract the effect.
^ Drift/pull may be induced by conditions external to the vehicle (for example: wind, road crown).
Poor Groove Feel
Poor groove feel is characterized by little or no buildup of turning effort felt in the steering wheel as
the wheel is rocked slowly left and right within very small turns around center or straight-ahead
(under 20 degrees of steering wheel turn). Efforts may be said to be "flat on center." ^
Under 20 degrees of turn, most of the turning effort that builds up comes from the mesh of gear
teeth in the steering gear. In this range, the steering wheel is not yet turned enough to feel the
effort from the self-aligning forces at the road wheel or tire patch.
^ In the diagnosis of a roadability problem, it is important to understand the difference between
wander and poor groove feel.

List.
ISSUE Some 2004-2008 F-150, 2006-2008 Mark LT, 2005-2008 F-Super Duty, Expedition, and
Navigator, with 5.4L 3-V engine; 2005-2008 Mustang, 2006-2008 Explorer, Mountaineer, and
2007-2008 Explorer Sport Trac with 4.6L 3-V engine; 2005-2008 F-Super Duty, 2006-2008 and
F-Stripped Chassis, with 6.8L 3-V engine may experience difficulty with spark plug removal. This
may cause damage to the spark plug and leave part of the spark plug in the cylinder head. Affected
engine build dates are as follows: 5.4L 3-V and 6.8L 3-V before 10/9/07, 4.6L 3-V before 11/30/07.
ACTION Refer to the following Service Procedure for techniques to remove the spark plugs and
extract broken spark plugs.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
The engine build date can be read on the left hand cam cover information sticker.
To remove spark plugs without damage, it is necessary to adhere exactly to this procedure before
removal is attempted.
CAUTION
DO NOT REMOVE PLUGS WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM OR HOT. THE ENGINE MUST BE AT
ROOM TEMPERATURE WHEN PERFORMING SPARK PLUG SERVICE. REMOVING THE
SPARK PLUGS FROM A WARM/HOT ENGINE INCREASES THE CHANCE THE THREADS
COULD BE DAMAGED.
Spark Plug Removal Procedure
1. Remove the coil-on-plug assemblies and thoroughly blow out the spark plug wells and
surrounding valve cover area with compressed air.
2. Back out the spark plugs no more than 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn. Using Motorcraft(R) Carburetor
Tune-Up Cleaner, fill the spark plug well just above where the jamb nut hex sits (1/2 - 3/4
teaspoon). A minimum period of 15 minutes of soak time is required. The cleaner will wick down to
the ground electrode shield and soften the carbon deposits in this time. DO NOT WORK the spark
plug back and forth at this point.
NOTE
COMPLETELY REVIEW THE PRODUCT LABEL FOR THE MOTORCRAFT CARBURETOR
TUNE-UP CLEANER PRODUCT - USE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE AND SHAKE WELL.
CAUTION
EXCESSIVE MOTORCRAFT(R) CARBURETOR TUNE-UP CLEANER, OR REPEATING THE
PROCESS SEVERAL TIMES WITH TOO MUCH CLEANER FLUID, COULD INTRODUCE
ENOUGH LIQUID VOLUME TO HYDRO-LOCK THE ENGINE.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE AIR OR POWER TOOLS FOR SPARK PLUG REMOVAL. SPARK PLUGS MUST
ONLY BE REMOVED WITH HAND TOOLS.

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection
Spark Plug Inspection
1. Inspect the spark plug for a bridged gap.
^ Check for deposit build-up closing the gap between the electrodes. Deposits are caused by oil or
carbon fouling.
^ Install a new spark plug.
2. Check for oil fouling.
^ Check for wet, black deposits on the insulator shell bore electrodes, caused by excessive oil
entering the combustion chamber through worn rings and pistons, excessive valve-to-guide
clearance or worn or loose bearings.
^ Correct the oil leak concern.
^ Install a new spark plug.
3. Inspect for carbon fouling. Look for black, dry, fluffy carbon deposits on the insulator tips,
exposed shell surfaces and electrodes, caused by a
spark plug with an incorrect heat range, dirty air cleaner, too rich a fuel mixture or excessive idling.
^
Install new spark plugs.
4. Inspect for normal burning.
^ Check for light tan or gray deposits on the firing tip.
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks > Spark Plug > Component
Information > Specifications > Page 1253
5. Inspect for pre-ignition, identified by melted electrodes and a possibly damaged insulator.
Metallic deposits on the insulator indicate engine
damage. This may be caused by incorrect ignition timing, wrong type of fuel or the unauthorized
installation of a Heli-Coil(R) insert in place of the spark plug threads. ^
Install a new spark plug.
6. Inspect for overheating, identified by white or light gray spots and with a bluish-burnt appearance
of electrodes. This is caused by engine
overheating, wrong type of fuel, loose spark plugs, spark plugs with an incorrect heat range, low
fuel pump pressure or incorrect ignition timing. ^
Install a new spark plug.
7. Inspect for fused deposits, identified by melted or spotty deposits resembling bubbles or blisters.
These are caused by sudden acceleration.
^ Install new spark plugs.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Compression Test - Compression Gauge Check
1. Make sure the oil in the crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at the correct level and that the
battery is correctly charged. Operate the vehicle
until the engine is at normal operating temperature. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position,
then remove all the spark plugs.
2. Set the throttle plates in the wide-open position. 3. Install a compression gauge such as the
Compression Tester in the No. 1 cylinder. 4. Install an auxiliary starter switch in the starting circuit.
With the ignition switch in the OFF position, and using the auxiliary starter switch, crank
the engine a minimum of 5 compression strokes and record the highest reading. Note the
approximate number of compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
5. Repeat the test on each cylinder, cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.
Compression Test - Test Results
The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is at least 75% of the highest reading. Refer to the Compression Pressure Limit Chart.
Compression Pressure Limit Chart
Compression Pressure Limit Chart
If one or more cylinders reads low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of engine oil on top of the
pistons in the low reading cylinders. Repeat the compression pressure check on these cylinders.
Compression Test - Interpreting Compression Readings
1. If compression improves considerably, piston rings are faulty. 2. If compression does not
improve, valves are sticking or seating incorrectly.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks > Compression Check > System
Information > Specifications > Page 1261
3. If 2 adjacent cylinders indicate low compression pressures and squirting oil on each piston does
not increase compression, the head gasket may be
leaking between cylinders. Engine oil or coolant in cylinders could result from this condition.
Use the Compression Pressure Limit Chart when checking cylinder compression so that the lowest
reading is within 75% of the highest reading.

Drive Belt: Description and Operation
Accessory Drive
4.2 With A/C
4.2L Without A/C
4.6L (2V) And 5.4L (3V)
The accessory drive system:
- has a single serpentine drive belt (6 ribs).
- has 2 idler pulleys - 4.2L.
- has 3 idler pulleys - 4.6L (2V) and 5.4L (3V).
- has an automatic belt tensioner.
- is not adjustable.
The accessory drive system provides power to operate components which power other systems.
These could include components such as the generator, power steering pump, and A/C
compressor. Each of these components is equipped with a pulley which is driven by the accessory
drive belt. The accessory drive belt is driven by the engine crankshaft pulley. One or more idler
pulleys may be provided to facilitate belt routing and alignment. The
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Drive Belt > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 1293
automatic belt tensioner maintains correct belt tension and compensates for component wear and
changes in system load. System load changes can be caused by the A/C compressor clutch
engaging and disengaging, or demand changes on other systems powered by the accessory drive
belt. To maintain correct operation of this stem, it is critical that the correct length drive belt be
installed. The pulleys must also be correctly aligned and kept clean.

Inspection and Verification
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should the accessory drive belt, tensioner or pulleys have any
fluids or belt dressing applied to them as damage to the belt material and tensioner damping
mechanism may occur.
1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system. 2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of
mechanical damage.

Belt Tensioner With Belt Length Indicator
3. Check that the belt length indicator, if equipped, on the belt tensioner is in the acceptable belt
installation and wear range. If the indicator is in the
belt replacement range, either an incorrect belt is installed or the belt is worn beyond the service
limit. Install a new belt as necessary.
4. Eliminate all other non-belt related noises that could cause belt misdiagnosis, such as A/C
compressor engagement chirp, A/C slugging noise,
power steering cavitations at low temperatures, variable camshaft timing (VCT) tick or generator
whine.
5. If a concern is found, correct the condition before proceeding to the next step.

V-Ribbed Serpentine Drive Belt With Cracks Across Ribs
6. Check the belt for cracks. Up to 15 cracks in a rib over a distance of 100 mm (4.0 inch) can be
considered acceptable. If cracks exceed this
standard, install a new belt.
NOTE: Piling is an excessive buildup in the V-grooves of the belt.
V-Ribbed Serpentine Belt With Piling
7. The condition of the V-ribbed drive belt should be compared against the illustration and
appropriate action taken.
1 Small scattered deposits of rubber material. This is not a concern, therefore, installation of a new
belt is not required.
2 Longer deposit areas building up to 50% of the rib height. This is not considered a durability
concern, but it can result in excessive noise. If noise is apparent, install a new belt.
3 Heavy deposits building up along the grooves resulting in a possible noise and belt stability
concern. If heavy deposits are apparent, install a new belt.

Component Tests
Drive Belt - Noise/Flutter
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should the accessory drive belt, tensioner or pulleys have any
fluids or belt dressing applied to them as damage to the belt material and tensioner damping
mechanism may occur.
Drive belt chirp occurs due to pulley misalignment or excessive pulley runout. It can be the result of
a damaged or incorrectly aligned grooved pulley.
To correct, determine the area where the noise comes from. Check each of the pulleys in that area
with a straightedge to the crankshaft pulley. Look for accessory pulleys out of position in the fore/aft
direction or at an angle to the straightedge.
Drive belt squeal may be an intermittent or constant noise that occurs when the drive belt slips on
an accessory pulley under certain conditions.
A short intermittent squeal may occur during engine start-up and shut down or during very rapid
engine acceleration and decelerations, such as: ^
wide open throttle (WOT) 1-2 and 2-3 shifts or 2-3 and 3-4 back out shifts on automatic
transmissions.
^ WOT 1-2 and 2-3 shifts and any combination of rapid downshifting on manual transmissions.
These special short-term transient events are expected, and are due to the higher system inertias
required to meet the electrical and cooling demands on today's vehicle systems. Constant or
reoccurring drive belt squeal can occur: ^
if the A/C discharge pressure goes above specifications: -
the A/C system is overcharged.
- the A/C condenser core airflow is blocked.
^ if the A/C off equalized pressure (the common discharged and suction pressure that occurs after
several minutes) exceeds specifications.
^ if any of the accessories or idler pulley(s) are damaged or have a worn or damaged bearing. All
accessories should be rotatable by hand in the unloaded condition. If not, inspect the accessory.
^ if there is evidence of fluid contamination on the accessory drive belt. When the drive belt has
been exposed to fluid contamination during vehicle operation, such as leaks from the power
steering system, A/C system or cooling system, clean all pulleys with soap and water, rinse with
clean water and install a new accessory drive belt. If the drive belt has been exposed to fluids in a
localized area during routine vehicle service, such as replacement of hoses or fluids, the drive belt
and pulleys should be washed with soap and water immediately (prior to starting the engine), and
rinsed with clean water.
^ if the accessory drive belt is too long. A drive belt that is too long will allow the accessory drive
belt tensioner arm to go all the way to the arm travel stop under certain load conditions, which will
release tension to the drive belt. If the accessory drive belt tensioner indicator is outside the normal
installation wear range window, install a new accessory drive belt.
NOTE: The accessory drive belt tensioner arm should rotate freely without binding.
Install a new accessory drive belt tensioner if the drive belt tensioner is worn or damaged.
Drive Belt - Incorrect Installation
CAUTION: Incorrect accessory drive belt installation will cause excessive drive belt wear and may
cause the drive belt to come off the pulleys.
Non-standard accessory drive belts can track differently or incorrectly. If an accessory drive belt
tracks incorrectly, install a new accessory drive belt to avoid performance failure or loss of the drive
belt.
Incorrect Installation
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Drive Belt > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection
and Diagnostic Overview > Page 1302
Correct Installation
With the engine running, check accessory drive belt tracking on all pulleys. If the edge of the
accessory drive belt rides beyond the edge of the pulleys, noise and premature wear will occur.
Make sure the accessory drive belt rides correctly on the pulley. If an accessory drive belt tracking
condition exists, proceed with the following: ^
Visually check the accessory drive belt tensioner for damage and wear, especially the mounting
pad surface and arm alignment. If the accessory drive belt tensioner is not installed correctly, the
mounting surface pad will be out of position. If the tensioner arm is worn, the arm will be out of
alignment. Either of these conditions will result in chirp and squeal noises.
^ With the engine running, visually observe the grooves in the pulleys (not the pulley flanges or the
pulley forward faces) for excessive wobble. Install new components as necessary.
^ Check all accessories, mounting brackets and the accessory drive belt tensioner for any
interference that would prevent the component from mounting correctly. Correct any interference
condition and recheck the accessory drive belt tracking.
^ Tighten all accessories, mounting brackets and accessory drive belt tensioner retaining hardware
to specification. Recheck the accessory drive belt tracking.
Belt Tensioner - Mechanical
The only mechanical check that needs to be made is a check for tensioner stick, grab or bind. 1.
With the engine off, check routing of the accessory drive belt. Refer to the illustrations under
Description and Operation in this section.
2. NOTE: The accessory drive belt tensioner spring is very strong and requires substantial force to
release.
Using a suitable, commercially available serpentine belt tensioner release tool, release the tension
on the belt and detach the accessory drive belt from the tensioner. Carry out the following tests: ^
Using the release tool, move the tensioner from its relaxed position, through its full stroke and back
to the relaxed position to make sure there is no stick, grab or bind, and to make sure that there is
tension on the tensioner spring.
^ Rotate the tensioner pulley by hand and check for a binding, contaminated or seized condition.
^ Inspect the area surrounding the accessory drive belt tensioner for oil leaks or contamination and
repair any leaks.
3. If the accessory drive belt tensioner does not meet the criteria in the previous step, install a new
tensioner. If the accessory drive belt tensioner
meets the criteria in the previous step, proceed to testing the tensioner dynamically.
Belt Tensioner - Dynamics
The accessory drive belt tensioner can be checked dynamically as follows: 1. With the engine
running, observe the accessory drive belt tensioner movement. The accessory drive tensioner
should move (respond) when the
A/C clutch cycles (if equipped), or when the engine is accelerated rapidly. If the accessory drive
belt tensioner movement is excessive without A/C clutch cycling or engine acceleration, check belt
rideout. Excessive belt rideout (uneven depth of grooves in the belt) can cause excessive
accessory drive belt tensioner movement. Check rideout condition by installing a new belt. If
excessive accessory drive belt tensioner movement still exists, install a new accessory drive belt
tensioner.

ABS Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) Bleeding
WARNING: Do not use any fluid other than clean brake fluid meeting manufacturer's specification.
Additionally, do not use brake fluid that has been previously drained. Following these instructions
will help prevent system contamination, brake component damage and the risk of serious personal
injury.
WARNING: Carefully read cautionary information on product label. For EMERGENCY MEDICAL
INFORMATION seek medical advice. In the USA or Canada on Ford/Motorcraft products call:
1-800-959-3673. For additional information, consult the product Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) if available. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Do not allow the brake master cylinder to run dry during the bleeding operation. Master
cylinder may be damaged if operated without fluid, resulting in degraded braking performance.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
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.
NOTE: When the hydraulic control unit (HCU) or master cylinder is disconnected for repair or
installation of new components, air can get into the system and cause spongy brake pedal action.
This requires bleeding of the hydraulic system after it is correctly connected. The hydraulic system
can be bled manually or with pressure bleeding equipment.
NOTE: This procedure is only required when a new HCU is installed.
1. NOTE: Carrying out the System Bleed function drives trapped air from the HCU. Subsequent
bleeding removes the air from the brake hydraulic
system through the bleeder screws.
NOTE: Adequate voltage to the HCU module is required during the anti-lock control portion of the
system bleed.
Connect the scan tool to the vehicle.
2. Access the ABS HCU bleed function and follow the directions on the scan tool. 3. Manually
bleed the brake hydraulic system. 4. Repeat the procedure carrying out a total of 2 scan tool cycles
and 2 manual bleed cycles.

Fuse: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1461
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information
C904
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Fuse Block: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information
C904
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Fuse Block: Diagnostic Aids
Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns
The illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will create
intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a physical
evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator Illuminates Continuously
NOTE: If the spare tire is in use, the damaged road tire must be repaired and installed on the
vehicle to restore complete TPMS functionality before carrying out any diagnosis.
NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the
sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate.
For vehicles with the same tire pressures for front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the
system.
1. The TPMS indicator remains on continuously for the following condition:
^ Low Tire Pressure - The TPMS indicator is illuminated solid and the message center displays
LOW TIRE PRESSURE (if equipped). This is displayed when any of the tire pressures are low.
When this condition exists, the tire pressure must be adjusted to the recommended cold pressure
as indicated on the vehicle certification label.
2. NOTE: The TPMS sensors do not transmit when the vehicle is stationary. If the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 30 minutes, it will be
necessary to wake up the sensors so they will transmit the latest tire pressure information to the
VSM.
If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, refer to the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) Sensor Activation procedure. See: Wheels and Tires/Tire Monitoring
System/Testing and Inspection/Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes

SERVICE ENGINE SOON INDICATOR
The Service engine soon indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first turned to the "ON"
position to check the bulb. Solid illumination after the engine is started indicates the On Board
Diagnostics System (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction. If the light is blinking, engine misfire is
occurring which could damage your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy
acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced immediately.
CAUTION: Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures could damage the
catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly
causing a fire.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL)
Check Engine, Service Engine Soon, Or ISO Standard Engine Symbol
The MIL notifies the driver that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an on board
diagnostic (OBD) emission-related component or system concern. When this occurs, an OBD
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) sets.
- The MIL is located in the instrument cluster and is labeled CHECK ENGINE, SERVICE ENGINE
SOON or the international standards organization (ISO) standard engine symbol.
- The MIL is illuminated during the instrument cluster prove out for approximately 4 seconds.
- The MIL remains illuminated after instrument cluster prove out if: an emission-related concern and DTC exists.
- the PCM does not send a control message to the instrument cluster (applications with the MIL
controlled through the communication link).
- the PCM is operating in the hardware limited operation strategy (HLOS).
- The MIL remains off during the instrument cluster prove out if an indicator or instrument cluster
concern is present.
- To turn off the MIL after a repair, a reset command from the scan tool must be sent, or 3
consecutive drive cycles must be completed without a concern.

lower. Always support vehicle with floor stands. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
serious personal injury.
- Only raise the vehicle when positioned on a hard, level surface. Attempting to raise the vehicle on
an uneven or soft surface may result in vehicle slipping or falling from the jack or jackstand. Failure
to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
- When jacking or lifting the vehicle, block all wheels remaining on the ground. Set the parking
brake if the rear wheels will remain on the ground. These actions help prevent unintended vehicle
movement. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
- Position the hoist lift arms as shown in the illustration. Incorrect positioning could result in vehicle
slipping or falling from the hoist. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal
injury.
CAUTION:
- Wheel chocks should be used to prevent the vehicle from rolling and falling off the jack.
- Position the jack to avoid contact with the fuel tank.
Jacking Points - Front
CAUTION: Do not use the control arm as a jacking point. Damage to the vehicle may occur.
The jacking point is a flat portion on the frame, located behind the front tire and wheel assembly.

Training
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training
NOTE: If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will go into a "sleep
mode" to conserve battery power. It will be necessary to wake them up so they will transmit the
latest tire pressure information to the vehicle security module (VSM). Refer to Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Activation. See: Tire Monitoring System/Testing and
Inspection/Programming and Relearning
NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle, in an area
without radio frequency noise and at least 1 m (3 ft) away from other vehicles equipped with tire
pressure monitor system (TPMS). Radio frequency noise is generated by electrical motors and
appliance operation, cellular telephones, remote transmitters, power inverters and portable
entertainment equipment.
NOTE: If a sensor does not respond to the activation tool, attempt to activate the same sensor with
the activation tool. If the sensor still does not respond, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at
least 1/4 of a turn and attempt to activate the same sensor again.
NOTE: The VSM has a 2 minute time limit between sensor responses. If the VSM does not
recognize any 1 of the 4 tire pressure sensors during this time limit, the horn will sound twice and
the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT and the entire
procedure must be repeated.
NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure must be adjusted and the tire pressure sensors must be trained
following a tire rotation. Failure to train the sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate. For
vehicles with the same tire pressures for front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the system.
1. NOTE: Click here to view an animated version of this procedure.
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, then press and release the brake pedal.
2. Cycle the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN
position. 3. Press and release the brake pedal. 4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 5.
Turn the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN
position.
^ The horn will sound once and the TPMS indicator will flash if the training mode has been entered
successfully. If equipped, the message center will display TRAIN LF TIRE.
6. NOTE: It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this time, the
activation tool must remain in place 180 degrees from
the valve stem.
Place the activation tool on the LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the valve stem.
Press and release the test button on the special tool. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the
tire pressure sensor has been recognized by the VSM. Click here to view an animated version of

7. Within 2 minutes of the horn sounding, place the activation tool on the RF tire sidewall opposite
(180°) from the valve stem to train the RF tire
pressure sensor.
8. NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between training each sensor or the VSM will time out
and the entire procedure must be repeated.
Repeat Step 7 for the RR and LR tires. The procedure is completed after the last tire has been
trained. When the training procedure is complete, the message center (if equipped) will display
TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE.
For vehicles not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure
will be verified by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position without the horn sounding. If the
horn sounds twice when the switch is turned to the OFF position, the training procedure was not
successful.
9. Using the scan tool, locate the updated TPMS sensor IDs trained to the VSM and document
them on the applicable warranty claim.
10. NOTE: This step is required to clear DTC C2780, cause the VSM to exit the manufacturing
mode and to make sure there are no other concerns
with a newly programmed VSM.
If the sensors are being trained due to the installation of a new VSM, clear any DTCs and perform
the VSM on-demand self test.

Tire Rotation
Rotating your tires at the recommended interval (as indicated in the Scheduled Maintenance Guide
that comes with your vehicle) will help your tires wear more evenly, provided better tire
performance and longer tire life.
Sometimes irregular tire wear ran be corrected by rotating the tires.
Note: If your tires show uneven wear ask an authorized dealer to check for and correct any wheel
misalignment, tire imbalance or mechanical problem involved before tire rotation.
Note: Your vehicle may be equipped with a dissimilar spare tire/wheel. A dissimilar spare tire/wheel
is defined as a spare tire and/or wheel that is different in brand, site or appearance from the road
tires and wheels. If you have a dissimilar spare tire/wheel it is intended for temporary use only and
should not be used in a tire rotation.
Note: After having your tires rotated, inflation pressure must be checked and adjusted to the
vehicle requirements.
If the tire label shows different tire pressures for the front and rear tires and the vehicle is equipped
with TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system), Always perform the TPMS reset procedure after tire
rotation. If the system is not reset, it may not provide a low tire pressure warning when necessary.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
VARIABLE CAMSHAFT TIMING (VCT) SYSTEM
Overview
The VCT enables rotation of the camshaft(s) relative to the crankshaft rotation as a function of
engine operating conditions. There are 4 types of VCT systems.
- Exhaust phase shifting (EPS) system - the exhaust cam is the active cam being retarded.
- Intake phase shifting (IPS) system - the intake cam is the active cam being advanced.
- Dual equal phase shifting (DEPS) system - both intake and exhaust cams are phase shifted and
equally advanced or retarded.
- Dual independent phase shifting (DIPS) system - where both the intake and exhaust cams are
shifted independently.
All systems have 4 operational modes: idle, part throttle, wide open throttle (WOT), and default
mode. At idle and low engine speeds with closed throttle, the powertrain control module (PCM)
determines the phase angle based on air flow, engine oil temperature and engine coolant
temperature. At part and wide open throttle the PCM determines the phase angle based on engine
RPM, load, and throttle position. VCT systems provide reduced emissions and enhanced engine
power, fuel economy and idle quality. IPS systems also have the added benefit of improved torque.
In addition, some VCT system applications can eliminate the need for an external exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) system. The elimination of the EGR system is accomplished by controlling the
overlap time between the intake valve opening and exhaust valve closing. Currently, both the IPS
and DEPS systems are used.
Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) System
VCT System
The VCT system consists of an electric hydraulic positioning control solenoid, a camshaft position
(CMP) sensor, and a trigger wheel. The CMP trigger wheel has a number of equally spaced teeth
equal to the number (n) of cylinders on a bank plus one extra tooth (n+1). Four cylinder and V8
engines use a CMP 4+1 tooth trigger wheel. V6 engines use a CMP 3+1 tooth trigger wheel. The
extra tooth placed between the equally spaced teeth represents the CMP signal for that bank. A
crankshaft position (CKP) sensor provides the PCM with crankshaft positioning information in 10
degree increments.
1. The PCM receives input signals from the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor, engine coolant
temperature (ECT) sensor, engine oil temperature
(EOT) sensor, CMP, throttle position (TP) sensor, mass air flow (MAF) sensor, and CKP to
determine the operating conditions of the engine. At idle and low engine speeds with closed
throttle, the PCM controls the camshaft position based on ECT, EOT, IAT, and MAF. During part
and wide open throttle, the camshaft position is determined by engine RPM, load and throttle
position. The VCT system does not operate until the engine is at normal operating temperature.
2. The VCT system is enabled by the PCM when the correct conditions are met. 3. The CKP signal
is used as a reference for CMP positioning. 4. The VCT solenoid valve is an integral part of the
VCT system. The solenoid valve controls the flow of engine oil in the VCT actuator assembly.
As the PCM controls the duty cycle of the solenoid valve, oil pressure/flow advances or retards the
cam timing. Duty cycles near 0% or 100% represent rapid movement of the camshaft. Retaining a
fixed camshaft position is accomplished by dithering (oscillating) the solenoid valve duty cycle.
The PCM calculates and determines the desired camshaft position. It continually updates the VCT
solenoid duty cycle until the desired position is achieved. A difference between the desired and
actual camshaft position represents a position error in the PCM VCT control loop. The PCM

Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Page 1654
disables the VCT and places the camshaft in a default position if a concern is detected. A related
DTC is also set when the concern is detected.
5. When the VCT solenoid is energized, engine oil is allowed to flow to the VCT actuator assembly
which advances or retards the camshaft timing.
One half of the VCT actuator is coupled to the camshaft and the other half is connected to the
timing chain. Oil chambers between the 2 halves couple the camshaft to the timing chain. When
the flow of oil is shifted from one side of the chamber to the other, the differential change in oil
pressure forces the camshaft to rotate in either an advance or retard position depending on the oil
flow.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Compression Test - Compression Gauge Check
1. Make sure the oil in the crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at the correct level and that the
battery is correctly charged. Operate the vehicle
until the engine is at normal operating temperature. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position,
then remove all the spark plugs.
2. Set the throttle plates in the wide-open position. 3. Install a compression gauge such as the
Compression Tester in the No. 1 cylinder. 4. Install an auxiliary starter switch in the starting circuit.
With the ignition switch in the OFF position, and using the auxiliary starter switch, crank
the engine a minimum of 5 compression strokes and record the highest reading. Note the
approximate number of compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
5. Repeat the test on each cylinder, cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.
Compression Test - Test Results
The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is at least 75% of the highest reading. Refer to the Compression Pressure Limit Chart.
Compression Pressure Limit Chart
Compression Pressure Limit Chart
If one or more cylinders reads low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of engine oil on top of the
pistons in the low reading cylinders. Repeat the compression pressure check on these cylinders.
Compression Test - Interpreting Compression Readings
1. If compression improves considerably, piston rings are faulty. 2. If compression does not
improve, valves are sticking or seating incorrectly.

3. If 2 adjacent cylinders indicate low compression pressures and squirting oil on each piston does
not increase compression, the head gasket may be
leaking between cylinders. Engine oil or coolant in cylinders could result from this condition.
Use the Compression Pressure Limit Chart when checking cylinder compression so that the lowest
reading is within 75% of the highest reading.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
VARIABLE CAMSHAFT TIMING (VCT) SYSTEM
Overview
The VCT enables rotation of the camshaft(s) relative to the crankshaft rotation as a function of
engine operating conditions. There are 4 types of VCT systems.
- Exhaust phase shifting (EPS) system - the exhaust cam is the active cam being retarded.
- Intake phase shifting (IPS) system - the intake cam is the active cam being advanced.
- Dual equal phase shifting (DEPS) system - both intake and exhaust cams are phase shifted and
equally advanced or retarded.
- Dual independent phase shifting (DIPS) system - where both the intake and exhaust cams are
shifted independently.
All systems have 4 operational modes: idle, part throttle, wide open throttle (WOT), and default
mode. At idle and low engine speeds with closed throttle, the powertrain control module (PCM)
determines the phase angle based on air flow, engine oil temperature and engine coolant
temperature. At part and wide open throttle the PCM determines the phase angle based on engine
RPM, load, and throttle position. VCT systems provide reduced emissions and enhanced engine
power, fuel economy and idle quality. IPS systems also have the added benefit of improved torque.
In addition, some VCT system applications can eliminate the need for an external exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) system. The elimination of the EGR system is accomplished by controlling the
overlap time between the intake valve opening and exhaust valve closing. Currently, both the IPS
and DEPS systems are used.
Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) System
VCT System
The VCT system consists of an electric hydraulic positioning control solenoid, a camshaft position
(CMP) sensor, and a trigger wheel. The CMP trigger wheel has a number of equally spaced teeth
equal to the number (n) of cylinders on a bank plus one extra tooth (n+1). Four cylinder and V8
engines use a CMP 4+1 tooth trigger wheel. V6 engines use a CMP 3+1 tooth trigger wheel. The
extra tooth placed between the equally spaced teeth represents the CMP signal for that bank. A
crankshaft position (CKP) sensor provides the PCM with crankshaft positioning information in 10
degree increments.
1. The PCM receives input signals from the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor, engine coolant
temperature (ECT) sensor, engine oil temperature
(EOT) sensor, CMP, throttle position (TP) sensor, mass air flow (MAF) sensor, and CKP to
determine the operating conditions of the engine. At idle and low engine speeds with closed
throttle, the PCM controls the camshaft position based on ECT, EOT, IAT, and MAF. During part
and wide open throttle, the camshaft position is determined by engine RPM, load and throttle
position. The VCT system does not operate until the engine is at normal operating temperature.
2. The VCT system is enabled by the PCM when the correct conditions are met. 3. The CKP signal
is used as a reference for CMP positioning. 4. The VCT solenoid valve is an integral part of the
VCT system. The solenoid valve controls the flow of engine oil in the VCT actuator assembly.
As the PCM controls the duty cycle of the solenoid valve, oil pressure/flow advances or retards the
cam timing. Duty cycles near 0% or 100% represent rapid movement of the camshaft. Retaining a
fixed camshaft position is accomplished by dithering (oscillating) the solenoid valve duty cycle.
The PCM calculates and determines the desired camshaft position. It continually updates the VCT
solenoid duty cycle until the desired position is achieved. A difference between the desired and
actual camshaft position represents a position error in the PCM VCT control loop. The PCM

Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Page 1703
disables the VCT and places the camshaft in a default position if a concern is detected. A related
DTC is also set when the concern is detected.
5. When the VCT solenoid is energized, engine oil is allowed to flow to the VCT actuator assembly
which advances or retards the camshaft timing.
One half of the VCT actuator is coupled to the camshaft and the other half is connected to the
timing chain. Oil chambers between the 2 halves couple the camshaft to the timing chain. When
the flow of oil is shifted from one side of the chamber to the other, the differential change in oil
pressure forces the camshaft to rotate in either an advance or retard position depending on the oil
flow.

CAUTION: Do not use a caustic cleaning solution or a wire brush to clean the pistons or damage
can occur.
1. Clean and inspect the (1) ring lands, (2) skirts, (3) pin bosses and the (4) tops of the pistons. If
wear marks, scores or glazing is found on the piston
skirt, check for a bent or twisted connecting rod.
2. Use the Piston Ring Groove Scraper to clean the piston ring grooves.
^ Make sure the oil ring holes are clean.
Piston Pin Bore Diameter
1. WARNING: Since the retainer ring has a tendency to spring out, cover the end of the pin bore
with a hand or shop rag when removing
the ring. Wear eye protection. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal
injury.
NOTE: Piston and piston pins are a matched set and should not be interchanged.
Measure the piston pin bore diameter in 2 directions on each side. Verify the diameter is within
specification.

Drive Belt: Description and Operation
Accessory Drive
4.2 With A/C
4.2L Without A/C
4.6L (2V) And 5.4L (3V)
The accessory drive system:
- has a single serpentine drive belt (6 ribs).
- has 2 idler pulleys - 4.2L.
- has 3 idler pulleys - 4.6L (2V) and 5.4L (3V).
- has an automatic belt tensioner.
- is not adjustable.
The accessory drive system provides power to operate components which power other systems.
These could include components such as the generator, power steering pump, and A/C
compressor. Each of these components is equipped with a pulley which is driven by the accessory
drive belt. The accessory drive belt is driven by the engine crankshaft pulley. One or more idler
pulleys may be provided to facilitate belt routing and alignment. The
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Drive Belts, Mounts, Brackets and Accessories > Drive
Belt > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 1827
automatic belt tensioner maintains correct belt tension and compensates for component wear and
changes in system load. System load changes can be caused by the A/C compressor clutch
engaging and disengaging, or demand changes on other systems powered by the accessory drive
belt. To maintain correct operation of this stem, it is critical that the correct length drive belt be
installed. The pulleys must also be correctly aligned and kept clean.

Drive Belt: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
Inspection and Verification
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should the accessory drive belt, tensioner or pulleys have any
fluids or belt dressing applied to them as damage to the belt material and tensioner damping
mechanism may occur.
1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system. 2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of
mechanical damage.

Belt Tensioner With Belt Length Indicator
3. Check that the belt length indicator, if equipped, on the belt tensioner is in the acceptable belt
installation and wear range. If the indicator is in the
belt replacement range, either an incorrect belt is installed or the belt is worn beyond the service
limit. Install a new belt as necessary.
4. Eliminate all other non-belt related noises that could cause belt misdiagnosis, such as A/C
compressor engagement chirp, A/C slugging noise,
power steering cavitations at low temperatures, variable camshaft timing (VCT) tick or generator
whine.
5. If a concern is found, correct the condition before proceeding to the next step.

V-Ribbed Serpentine Drive Belt With Cracks Across Ribs
6. Check the belt for cracks. Up to 15 cracks in a rib over a distance of 100 mm (4.0 inch) can be
considered acceptable. If cracks exceed this
standard, install a new belt.
NOTE: Piling is an excessive buildup in the V-grooves of the belt.
V-Ribbed Serpentine Belt With Piling
7. The condition of the V-ribbed drive belt should be compared against the illustration and
appropriate action taken.
1 Small scattered deposits of rubber material. This is not a concern, therefore, installation of a new
belt is not required.
2 Longer deposit areas building up to 50% of the rib height. This is not considered a durability
concern, but it can result in excessive noise. If noise is apparent, install a new belt.
3 Heavy deposits building up along the grooves resulting in a possible noise and belt stability
concern. If heavy deposits are apparent, install a new belt.

Drive Belt - Noise/Flutter
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should the accessory drive belt, tensioner or pulleys have any
fluids or belt dressing applied to them as damage to the belt material and tensioner damping
mechanism may occur.
Drive belt chirp occurs due to pulley misalignment or excessive pulley runout. It can be the result of
a damaged or incorrectly aligned grooved pulley.
To correct, determine the area where the noise comes from. Check each of the pulleys in that area
with a straightedge to the crankshaft pulley. Look for accessory pulleys out of position in the fore/aft
direction or at an angle to the straightedge.
Drive belt squeal may be an intermittent or constant noise that occurs when the drive belt slips on
an accessory pulley under certain conditions.
A short intermittent squeal may occur during engine start-up and shut down or during very rapid
engine acceleration and decelerations, such as: ^
wide open throttle (WOT) 1-2 and 2-3 shifts or 2-3 and 3-4 back out shifts on automatic
transmissions.
^ WOT 1-2 and 2-3 shifts and any combination of rapid downshifting on manual transmissions.
These special short-term transient events are expected, and are due to the higher system inertias
required to meet the electrical and cooling demands on today's vehicle systems. Constant or
reoccurring drive belt squeal can occur: ^
if the A/C discharge pressure goes above specifications: -
the A/C system is overcharged.
- the A/C condenser core airflow is blocked.
^ if the A/C off equalized pressure (the common discharged and suction pressure that occurs after
several minutes) exceeds specifications.
^ if any of the accessories or idler pulley(s) are damaged or have a worn or damaged bearing. All
accessories should be rotatable by hand in the unloaded condition. If not, inspect the accessory.
^ if there is evidence of fluid contamination on the accessory drive belt. When the drive belt has
been exposed to fluid contamination during vehicle operation, such as leaks from the power
steering system, A/C system or cooling system, clean all pulleys with soap and water, rinse with
clean water and install a new accessory drive belt. If the drive belt has been exposed to fluids in a
localized area during routine vehicle service, such as replacement of hoses or fluids, the drive belt
and pulleys should be washed with soap and water immediately (prior to starting the engine), and
rinsed with clean water.
^ if the accessory drive belt is too long. A drive belt that is too long will allow the accessory drive
belt tensioner arm to go all the way to the arm travel stop under certain load conditions, which will
release tension to the drive belt. If the accessory drive belt tensioner indicator is outside the normal
installation wear range window, install a new accessory drive belt.
NOTE: The accessory drive belt tensioner arm should rotate freely without binding.
Install a new accessory drive belt tensioner if the drive belt tensioner is worn or damaged.
Drive Belt - Incorrect Installation
CAUTION: Incorrect accessory drive belt installation will cause excessive drive belt wear and may
cause the drive belt to come off the pulleys.
Non-standard accessory drive belts can track differently or incorrectly. If an accessory drive belt
tracks incorrectly, install a new accessory drive belt to avoid performance failure or loss of the drive
belt.
Incorrect Installation
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Drive Belts, Mounts, Brackets and Accessories > Drive
Belt > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 1836
Correct Installation
With the engine running, check accessory drive belt tracking on all pulleys. If the edge of the
accessory drive belt rides beyond the edge of the pulleys, noise and premature wear will occur.
Make sure the accessory drive belt rides correctly on the pulley. If an accessory drive belt tracking
condition exists, proceed with the following: ^
Visually check the accessory drive belt tensioner for damage and wear, especially the mounting
pad surface and arm alignment. If the accessory drive belt tensioner is not installed correctly, the
mounting surface pad will be out of position. If the tensioner arm is worn, the arm will be out of
alignment. Either of these conditions will result in chirp and squeal noises.
^ With the engine running, visually observe the grooves in the pulleys (not the pulley flanges or the
pulley forward faces) for excessive wobble. Install new components as necessary.
^ Check all accessories, mounting brackets and the accessory drive belt tensioner for any
interference that would prevent the component from mounting correctly. Correct any interference
condition and recheck the accessory drive belt tracking.
^ Tighten all accessories, mounting brackets and accessory drive belt tensioner retaining hardware
to specification. Recheck the accessory drive belt tracking.
Belt Tensioner - Mechanical
The only mechanical check that needs to be made is a check for tensioner stick, grab or bind. 1.
With the engine off, check routing of the accessory drive belt. Refer to the illustrations under
Description and Operation in this section.
2. NOTE: The accessory drive belt tensioner spring is very strong and requires substantial force to
release.
Using a suitable, commercially available serpentine belt tensioner release tool, release the tension
on the belt and detach the accessory drive belt from the tensioner. Carry out the following tests: ^
Using the release tool, move the tensioner from its relaxed position, through its full stroke and back
to the relaxed position to make sure there is no stick, grab or bind, and to make sure that there is
tension on the tensioner spring.
^ Rotate the tensioner pulley by hand and check for a binding, contaminated or seized condition.
^ Inspect the area surrounding the accessory drive belt tensioner for oil leaks or contamination and
repair any leaks.
3. If the accessory drive belt tensioner does not meet the criteria in the previous step, install a new
tensioner. If the accessory drive belt tensioner
meets the criteria in the previous step, proceed to testing the tensioner dynamically.
Belt Tensioner - Dynamics
The accessory drive belt tensioner can be checked dynamically as follows: 1. With the engine
running, observe the accessory drive belt tensioner movement. The accessory drive tensioner
should move (respond) when the
A/C clutch cycles (if equipped), or when the engine is accelerated rapidly. If the accessory drive
belt tensioner movement is excessive without A/C clutch cycling or engine acceleration, check belt
rideout. Excessive belt rideout (uneven depth of grooves in the belt) can cause excessive
accessory drive belt tensioner movement. Check rideout condition by installing a new belt. If
excessive accessory drive belt tensioner movement still exists, install a new accessory drive belt
tensioner.

Oil Temperature Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE (EOT) SENSOR
Typical EOT Sensor
The EOT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance changes the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The EOT sensor measures the temperature of the engine oil. The sensor is typically threaded into
the engine oil lubrication system. The PCM can use the EOT sensor input to determine the
following:
- On variable camshaft timing (VCT) applications the EOT input is used to adjust the VCT control
gains and logic for camshaft timing.
- The PCM can use EOT sensor input in conjunction with other PCM inputs to determine oil
degradation.
- The PCM can use EOT sensor input to initiate a soft engine shutdown. To prevent engine
damage from occurring as a result of high oil temperatures, the PCM has the ability to initiate a soft
engine shutdown. Whenever engine RPM exceeds a calibrated level for a certain period of time,
the PCM begins reducing power by disabling engine cylinders.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
VARIABLE CAMSHAFT TIMING (VCT) SYSTEM
Overview
The VCT enables rotation of the camshaft(s) relative to the crankshaft rotation as a function of
engine operating conditions. There are 4 types of VCT systems.
- Exhaust phase shifting (EPS) system - the exhaust cam is the active cam being retarded.
- Intake phase shifting (IPS) system - the intake cam is the active cam being advanced.
- Dual equal phase shifting (DEPS) system - both intake and exhaust cams are phase shifted and
equally advanced or retarded.
- Dual independent phase shifting (DIPS) system - where both the intake and exhaust cams are
shifted independently.
All systems have 4 operational modes: idle, part throttle, wide open throttle (WOT), and default
mode. At idle and low engine speeds with closed throttle, the powertrain control module (PCM)
determines the phase angle based on air flow, engine oil temperature and engine coolant
temperature. At part and wide open throttle the PCM determines the phase angle based on engine
RPM, load, and throttle position. VCT systems provide reduced emissions and enhanced engine
power, fuel economy and idle quality. IPS systems also have the added benefit of improved torque.
In addition, some VCT system applications can eliminate the need for an external exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) system. The elimination of the EGR system is accomplished by controlling the
overlap time between the intake valve opening and exhaust valve closing. Currently, both the IPS
and DEPS systems are used.
Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) System
VCT System
The VCT system consists of an electric hydraulic positioning control solenoid, a camshaft position
(CMP) sensor, and a trigger wheel. The CMP trigger wheel has a number of equally spaced teeth
equal to the number (n) of cylinders on a bank plus one extra tooth (n+1). Four cylinder and V8
engines use a CMP 4+1 tooth trigger wheel. V6 engines use a CMP 3+1 tooth trigger wheel. The
extra tooth placed between the equally spaced teeth represents the CMP signal for that bank. A
crankshaft position (CKP) sensor provides the PCM with crankshaft positioning information in 10
degree increments.
1. The PCM receives input signals from the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor, engine coolant
temperature (ECT) sensor, engine oil temperature
(EOT) sensor, CMP, throttle position (TP) sensor, mass air flow (MAF) sensor, and CKP to
determine the operating conditions of the engine. At idle and low engine speeds with closed
throttle, the PCM controls the camshaft position based on ECT, EOT, IAT, and MAF. During part
and wide open throttle, the camshaft position is determined by engine RPM, load and throttle
position. The VCT system does not operate until the engine is at normal operating temperature.
2. The VCT system is enabled by the PCM when the correct conditions are met. 3. The CKP signal
is used as a reference for CMP positioning. 4. The VCT solenoid valve is an integral part of the
VCT system. The solenoid valve controls the flow of engine oil in the VCT actuator assembly.
As the PCM controls the duty cycle of the solenoid valve, oil pressure/flow advances or retards the
cam timing. Duty cycles near 0% or 100% represent rapid movement of the camshaft. Retaining a
fixed camshaft position is accomplished by dithering (oscillating) the solenoid valve duty cycle.
The PCM calculates and determines the desired camshaft position. It continually updates the VCT
solenoid duty cycle until the desired position is achieved. A difference between the desired and
actual camshaft position represents a position error in the PCM VCT control loop. The PCM

Variable Valve Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Page 2011
disables the VCT and places the camshaft in a default position if a concern is detected. A related
DTC is also set when the concern is detected.
5. When the VCT solenoid is energized, engine oil is allowed to flow to the VCT actuator assembly
which advances or retards the camshaft timing.
One half of the VCT actuator is coupled to the camshaft and the other half is connected to the
timing chain. Oil chambers between the 2 halves couple the camshaft to the timing chain. When
the flow of oil is shifted from one side of the chamber to the other, the differential change in oil
pressure forces the camshaft to rotate in either an advance or retard position depending on the oil
flow.

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection
Spark Plug Inspection
1. Inspect the spark plug for a bridged gap.
^ Check for deposit build-up closing the gap between the electrodes. Deposits are caused by oil or
carbon fouling.
^ Install a new spark plug.
2. Check for oil fouling.
^ Check for wet, black deposits on the insulator shell bore electrodes, caused by excessive oil
entering the combustion chamber through worn rings and pistons, excessive valve-to-guide
clearance or worn or loose bearings.
^ Correct the oil leak concern.
^ Install a new spark plug.
3. Inspect for carbon fouling. Look for black, dry, fluffy carbon deposits on the insulator tips,
exposed shell surfaces and electrodes, caused by a
spark plug with an incorrect heat range, dirty air cleaner, too rich a fuel mixture or excessive idling.
^
Install new spark plugs.
4. Inspect for normal burning.
^ Check for light tan or gray deposits on the firing tip.
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks > Spark
Plug > Component Information > Specifications > Page 2056
5. Inspect for pre-ignition, identified by melted electrodes and a possibly damaged insulator.
Metallic deposits on the insulator indicate engine
damage. This may be caused by incorrect ignition timing, wrong type of fuel or the unauthorized
installation of a Heli-Coil(R) insert in place of the spark plug threads. ^
Install a new spark plug.
6. Inspect for overheating, identified by white or light gray spots and with a bluish-burnt appearance
of electrodes. This is caused by engine
overheating, wrong type of fuel, loose spark plugs, spark plugs with an incorrect heat range, low
fuel pump pressure or incorrect ignition timing. ^
Install a new spark plug.
7. Inspect for fused deposits, identified by melted or spotty deposits resembling bubbles or blisters.
These are caused by sudden acceleration.
^ Install new spark plugs.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Compression Test - Compression Gauge Check
1. Make sure the oil in the crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at the correct level and that the
battery is correctly charged. Operate the vehicle
until the engine is at normal operating temperature. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position,
then remove all the spark plugs.
2. Set the throttle plates in the wide-open position. 3. Install a compression gauge such as the
Compression Tester in the No. 1 cylinder. 4. Install an auxiliary starter switch in the starting circuit.
With the ignition switch in the OFF position, and using the auxiliary starter switch, crank
the engine a minimum of 5 compression strokes and record the highest reading. Note the
approximate number of compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
5. Repeat the test on each cylinder, cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.
Compression Test - Test Results
The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is at least 75% of the highest reading. Refer to the Compression Pressure Limit Chart.
Compression Pressure Limit Chart
Compression Pressure Limit Chart
If one or more cylinders reads low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of engine oil on top of the
pistons in the low reading cylinders. Repeat the compression pressure check on these cylinders.
Compression Test - Interpreting Compression Readings
1. If compression improves considerably, piston rings are faulty. 2. If compression does not
improve, valves are sticking or seating incorrectly.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Radiator Cooling Fan > Radiator Cooling Fan
Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2098
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Radiator Cooling Fan Motor: Description and Operation
FAN CONTROL
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C
on/off status, A/C pressure) to determine engine cooling fan needs.
For variable speed electric fan(s):
Edge/MKX, Taurus/Taurus X/Sable, Fusion/Milan/MKZ, Crown Victoria/Grand Marquis, Town Car:
FCV Duty Cycle Output From PCM (Negative Duty Cycle)
The PCM controls the fan speed and operation using a duty cycle output on the fan control variable
(FCV) circuit. The fan controller (located at or integral to the engine cooling fan assembly) receives
the FCV command and operates the cooling fan at the speed requested (by varying the power
applied to the fan motor).
For relay controlled fans:
2.0L Focus (With A/C): PCM FC Output State For Cooling Fan Speeds
2.3L Escape: PCM FC Output State For Cooling Fan Speeds
The PCM controls the fan operation through the fan control (FC) (single speed fan applications),
low fan control (LFC), medium fan control (MFC), and high fan control (HFC) outputs. Some
applications will have the xFC circuit wired-to 2 separate-relays.
For 3-speed fans, although the PCM output circuits are called low, medium, and high fan control
(FC), cooling fan speed is controlled by a combination of these outputs. Refer to the table.

Radiator Cooling Fan Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
FAN SPEED SENSOR (FSS)
Cooling Fan Clutch With FSS
The FSS is a Hall-effect sensor that measures the cooling fan clutch speed by generating a
waveform with a frequency proportional to the fan speed. If the cooling fan clutch is moving at a
relatively low speed, the sensor produces a signal with a low frequency. As the cooling fan clutch
speed increases, the sensor generates a signal with a higher frequency. The PCM uses the
frequency signal generated by the FSS as a feedback for closed loop control of the cooling fan
clutch.

Fan Clutch: Description and Operation
COOLING FAN CLUTCH
Cooling Fan Clutch With Fan Speed Sensor (FSS)
The cooling fan clutch is an electrically actuated viscous clutch that consists of 3 main elements:
- a working chamber
- a reservoir chamber
- a cooling fan clutch actuator valve and a fan speed sensor (FSS)
The cooling fan clutch actuator valve controls the fluid flow from the reservoir into the working
chamber. Once viscous fluid is in the working chamber, shearing of the fluid results in fan rotation.
The cooling fan clutch actuator valve is activated with a pulse width modulated (PWM) output
signal from the PCM. By opening and closing the fluid port valve, the PCM can control the cooling
fan clutch speed. The cooling fan clutch speed is measured by a Hall-effect sensor and is
monitored by the PCM during closed loop operation.
The PCM optimizes fan speed based on engine coolant temperature (ECT), engine oil temperature
(EOT), transmission fluid temperature (TFT), intake air temperature (IAT), or air conditioning
requirements. When an increased demand for fan speed is requested for vehicle cooling, the PCM
monitors the fan speed through the Hall-effect sensor. If a fan speed increase is required, the PCM
outputs the PWM signal to the fluid port, providing the required fan speed increase.

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE (CHT) SENSOR
Typical CHT Sensor
The CHT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with the temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as temperature increases, and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
The CHT sensor is installed in the cylinder head and measures the metal temperature. The CHT
sensor can provide complete engine temperature information and can be used to infer coolant
temperature. If the CHT sensor conveys an overheating condition to the PCM, the PCM initiates a
fail-safe cooling strategy based on information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system concern
such as low coolant or coolant loss could cause an overheating condition. As a result, damage to
major engine components could occur. Using both the CHT sensor and fail-safe cooling strategy,
the PCM prevents damage by allowing air cooling of the engine and limp home capability.

Testing and Inspection
Heater Core: Testing and Inspection
HEATER CORE
1. NOTE: Testing of returned heater cores reveals that a large percentage of heater cores were
good and did not require replacement. If a heater
core leak is suspected, the heater core must be tested by carrying out the plugged heater core
component test before the heater core pressure test. Carry out a system inspection by checking
the heater system thoroughly as follows:
Inspect for evidence of coolant leakage at the heater water hose to heater core attachments. A
coolant leak in the heater water hose could follow the heater core tube to the heater core and
appear as a leak in the heater core.
2. NOTE: Spring-type clamps are installed as original equipment. Installation and overtightening of
non-specification clamps can cause leakage at
the heater water hose connection and damage the heater core.
Check the integrity of the heater water hose clamps.
Heater Core - Plugged
1. Check to see that the engine coolant is at the correct level. 2. Start the engine and turn on the
heater. 3. When the engine coolant reaches operating temperature, feel the heater core inlet and
outlet hose to see if they are hot.
If the inlet hose is not hot: the thermostat is not working correctly.
If the outlet hose is not hot: the heater core may have an air pocket.
- the heater core may be restricted or plugged.
Heater Core - Pressure Test
Use the Radiator/Heater Core Pressure Tester to carry out the pressure test.
1. NOTE: Due to space limitations, a bench test may be necessary for pressure testing.
Clamp off the heater hoses.
2. Disconnect the heater water hoses from the heater core. 3. Install a short piece of heater water
hose, approximately 101 mm (4 in) long on each heater core tube. 4. Fill the heater core and
heater water hoses with water and install Plug BT-7422-B and Adapter BT-7422-A from the
Radiator/Heater Core
Pressure Tester in the heater water hose ends. Secure the heater water hoses, plug and adapter
with hose clamps.
5. Attach the pump and gauge assembly from the Radiator/Heater Core Pressure Tester to the
adapter. 6. Close the bleed valve at the base of the gauge. Pump 138 kPa (20 psi) of air pressure
into the heater core. 7. Observe the pressure gauge for a minimum of 3 minutes. 8. If the pressure
drops, check the heater water hose connections to the core tubes for leaks. If the heater water
hoses do not leak, remove the heater
core from the vehicle and carry out the bench test.
Heater Core - Bench Test
1. Remove the heater core from the vehicle. 2. Drain all of the coolant from the heater core. 3.
Connect the 101 mm (4 in) test heater water hoses with plug and adapter to the core tubes. Then
connect the Radiator/Heater Core Pressure Tester
to the adapter.
4. Apply 138 kPa (20 psi) of air pressure to the heater core. Submerge the heater core in water. 5.
If a leak is observed, install a new heater core.

Radiator Cooling Fan Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
FAN SPEED SENSOR (FSS)
Cooling Fan Clutch With FSS
The FSS is a Hall-effect sensor that measures the cooling fan clutch speed by generating a
waveform with a frequency proportional to the fan speed. If the cooling fan clutch is moving at a
relatively low speed, the sensor produces a signal with a low frequency. As the cooling fan clutch
speed increases, the sensor generates a signal with a higher frequency. The PCM uses the
frequency signal generated by the FSS as a feedback for closed loop control of the cooling fan
clutch.

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE (CHT) SENSOR
Typical CHT Sensor
The CHT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with the temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as temperature increases, and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
The CHT sensor is installed in the cylinder head and measures the metal temperature. The CHT
sensor can provide complete engine temperature information and can be used to infer coolant
temperature. If the CHT sensor conveys an overheating condition to the PCM, the PCM initiates a
fail-safe cooling strategy based on information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system concern
such as low coolant or coolant loss could cause an overheating condition. As a result, damage to
major engine components could occur. Using both the CHT sensor and fail-safe cooling strategy,
the PCM prevents damage by allowing air cooling of the engine and limp home capability.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation
CATALYST AND EXHAUST SYSTEMS
Overview
V-Engines
In-Line Engines
The catalytic converter and exhaust systems work together to control the release of harmful engine
exhaust emissions into the atmosphere. The engine exhaust gas consists mainly of nitrogen (N),
carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O). However, it also contains carbon monoxide (CO),
oxides of nitrogen (NOx), hydrogen (H), and various unburned hydrocarbons (HCs). The major air
pollutants of CO, NOx,and HCs, and their emission into the atmosphere must be controlled.
The exhaust system generally consists of an exhaust manifold, front exhaust pipe, front heated
oxygen sensor (HO2S), rear exhaust pipe, catalyst HO2S, a muffler, and an exhaust tailpipe. The
catalytic converter is typically installed between the front and rear exhaust pipes. On some vehicle
applications, more than one catalyst is used between the front and rear exhaust pipes. Catalytic
converter efficiency is monitored by the on board diagnostic (OBD) system strategy in the
powertrain control module (PCM). For information on the OBD catalyst monitor, refer to the
description for the Catalyst Efficiency Monitor. See: Powertrain Management/Computers and
Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness
Codes/Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
For most vehicles, only 2 HO2Ss are used in an exhaust stream. The front sensors
(HO2S11/HO2S21) before the catalyst are used for primary fuel control while the ones after the
catalyst (HO2S12/HO2S22) are used to monitor catalyst efficiency. However, some partial zero
emission vehicles (PZEV) use 3 HO2Ss for each engine bank. The stream 1 sensors
(HO2S11/HO2S21) located before the catalyst are used for primary fuel control, the stream 2
sensors (HO2S12/HO2S22) are used to monitor the light-off catalyst, and the stream 3 sensors
(HO2S13/HO2S23) located after the catalyst are used for long term fuel trim control to optimize
catalyst efficiency (fore aft oxygen sensor control).
Catalytic Converter
A catalyst is a material that remains unchanged when it initiates and increases the speed of a
chemical reaction. A catalyst also enables a chemical reaction to occur at a lower temperature. The
concentration of exhaust gas products released to the atmosphere must be controlled. The
catalytic
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Exhaust System > Catalytic Converter > Component Information
> Description and Operation > Page 2199
converter assists in this task. It contains a catalyst in the form of a specially treated ceramic
honeycomb structure saturated with catalytically active precious metals. As the exhaust gases
come in contact with the catalyst, they are changed into mostly harmless products. The catalyst
initiates and speeds up heat producing chemical reactions of the exhaust gas components so they
are used up as much as possible.
Light Off Catalyst
As the catalyst heats up, converter efficiency rises rapidly. The point at which conversion efficiency
exceeds 50% is called catalyst light off. For most catalysts this point occurs at 246°C to 302°C
(475°F to 575°F). A fast light catalyst is a 3-way catalyst (TWC) that is located as close to the
exhaust manifold as possible. Because the light off catalyst is located close to the exhaust manifold
it lights off faster and reduces emissions more quickly than the catalyst located under the body.
Once the catalyst lights off, the catalyst quickly reaches the maximum conversion efficiency for that
catalyst.
Three-Way Catalyst (TWC) Conversion Efficiency
TWC Conversion Efficiency Chart
A TWC requires a stoichiometric fuel ratio, 14.7 pounds of air to 1 pound of fuel (14.7:1), for high
conversion efficiency. In order to achieve these high efficiencies, the air/fuel ratio must be tightly
controlled with a narrow window of stoichiometry. Deviations outside of this window greatly
decrease the conversion efficiency. For example a rich mixture decreases the HC and CO
conversion efficiency while a lean mixture decreases the NOx conversion efficiency.
Exhaust System
Typical Bank 1 Catalyst 2 HO2S Configuration
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Exhaust System > Catalytic Converter > Component Information
> Description and Operation > Page 2200
Typical Bank 1 Catalyst 3 HO2S Configuration
The purpose of the exhaust system is to convey engine emissions from the exhaust manifold to the
atmosphere. Engine exhaust emissions are directed from the engine exhaust manifold to the
catalytic converter through the front exhaust pipe. A HO2S is mounted on the front exhaust pipe
before the catalyst. The catalytic converter reduces the concentration of CO, unburned HCs, and
NOx in the exhaust emissions to an acceptable level. The reduced exhaust emissions are directed
from the catalytic converter past another HO2S mounted in the rear exhaust pipe and then on into
the muffler. Finally, the exhaust emissions are directed to the atmosphere through an exhaust
tailpipe.
On some PZEV, there is a total of 3 HO2S in the exhaust stream. One near the exhaust manifold
(stream 1), one in the middle of the light-off catalyst (stream 2), and the third (stream 3) is mounted
after the light-off catalyst.
Underbody Catalyst
The underbody catalyst is located after the light off catalyst. The underbody catalyst may be in line
with the light off catalyst, or the underbody catalyst may be common to 2 light off catalysts, forming
a Y pipe configuration. For an exact configuration of the catalyst and exhaust system for a specific
vehicle, refer to Exhaust System for the exhaust system-exploded view.
Three-Way Catalytic (TWC) Converter
The TWC converter contains either platinum (Pt) and rhodium (Rh) or palladium (Pd) and rhodium
(Rh). The TWC converter catalyzes the oxidation reactions of unburned HCs and CO and the
reduction reaction of NOx. The 3-way conversion can be best accomplished by always operating
the engine air fuel/ratio at or close to stoichiometry.
Exhaust Manifold Runners
The exhaust manifold runners collect exhaust gases from engine cylinders. The number of exhaust
manifolds and exhaust manifold runners depends on the engine configuration and number of
cylinders.
Exhaust Pipes
Exhaust pipes are usually treated during manufacturing with an anti-corrosive coating agent to
increase the life of the product. The pipes serve as guides for the flow of exhaust gases from the
engine exhaust manifold through the catalytic converter and the muffler.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
The HO2Ss provide the PCM with information related to the oxygen content of the exhaust gas.
Muffler
Mufflers are usually treated during manufacturing with an anti-corrosive coating agent to increase
the life of the product. The muffler reduces the level of noise produced by the engine, and also
reduces the noise produced by exhaust gases as they travel from the catalytic converter to the
atmosphere.

Electronic Throttle Control Module: Description and Operation
TORQUE BASED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC)
Overview
The torque based ETC is a hardware and software strategy that delivers an engine output torque
(via throttle angle) based on driver demand (pedal position). It uses an electronic throttle body, the
powertrain control module (PCM), and an accelerator pedal assembly to control the throttle
opening and engine torque.
Torque based ETC enables aggressive automatic transmission shift schedules (earlier upshifts and
later downshifts). This is possible by adjusting the throttle angle to achieve the same wheel torque
during shifts, and by calculating this desired torque, the system prevents engine lugging (low RPM
and low manifold vacuum) while still delivering the performance and torque requested by the driver.
It also enables many fuel economy/emission improvement technologies such as variable camshaft
timing (VCT) (deliver same torque during transitions).
Torque based ETC also results in less intrusive vehicle and engine speed limiting, along with
smoother traction control.
Other benefits of ETC are: eliminate cruise control actuators
- eliminate idle air control (IAC) valve
- better airflow range
- packaging (no cable)
- more responsive powertrain at altitude and improved shift quality
The ETC system illuminates a powertrain malfunction indicator (wrench) on the instrument cluster
when a concern is present. Concerns are accompanied by diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and
may also illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
Electronic Throttle Body (ETB)
The ETB has the following characteristics: -
The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor is a DC motor controlled by the PCM (requires 2-wires).
- There are 2 designs: parallel and in-line. The parallel design has the motor under the bore parallel
to the plate shaft. The motor housing is integrated into the main housing. The in-line design has a
separate motor housing.
- An internal spring is used in both designs to return the throttle plate to a default position. The
default position is typically a throttle angle of 7 to 8 degrees from the hard stop angle.
- The closed throttle plate hard stop is used to prevent the throttle from binding in the bore
(approximately 0.75 degree). This hard stop setting is not adjustable and is set to result in less
airflow than the minimum engine airflow required at idle.
- The required idle airflow is provided by the plate angle in the throttle body assembly. This plate
angle controls idle, idle quality, and eliminates the need for an IAC valve.
- There is 1 reference voltage and 1 signal return circuit between the PCM and the ETB. The
reference voltage circuit and the signal return circuit is shared with the reference voltage circuits
and signal return circuits used by the APP sensor. There are also 2 TP signal circuits for
redundancy. The redundant TP signals are required for increased monitoring reasons. The first TP
signal (TP1) has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and the second signal
(TP2) has a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). The TP2 signal reaches a limit of
approximately 4.5 volts at approximately 45 degrees of throttle angle.
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor
Depending on the application either a 2-track or 3-track APP sensor is used.

The torque based ETC strategy was developed to improve fuel economy and to accommodate
variable camshaft timing (VCT). This is possible by not coupling the throttle angle to the driver
pedal position. Uncoupling the throttle angle (produce engine torque) from the pedal position (driver
demand) allows the powertrain control strategy to optimize fuel control and transmission shift
schedules while delivering the requested wheel torque.
The ETC monitor system is distributed across 2 processors within the PCM: the main powertrain
control processor unit (CPU) and a separate monitoring processor. The primary monitoring function
is carried out by the independent plausibility check (IPC) software, which resides on the main
processor. It is responsible for determining the driver-demanded torque and comparing it to an
estimate of the actual torque delivered. If the generated torque exceeds driver demand by a
specified amount, appropriate corrective action is taken.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 2257
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

FLASH ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ ONLY MEMORY (EEPROM)
Description
The EEPROM is contained in an integrated circuit internal to the powertrain control module (PCM).
The EEPROM contains the vehicle strategy including calibration information specific to the vehicle,
and is capable of being programmed or flashed repeatedly.
As part of the calibration there is an area referred to as the vehicle identification (VID) block. The
VID block is programmed when installing a new PCM as described under Programming the VID
Block for a Replacement PCM. Failure to carry out this procedure may generate DTCs PI635 or
P1639. The VID block in an existing PCM can also be tailored to accommodate various hardware
or parameter changes made to the vehicle since production. Failure to carry out this procedure
properly may generate DTC P1635, Tire/Axle Ratio out of Acceptable Range. An incorrect tire/axle
ratio is one of the main causes for DTC P1639. This is described under Making Changes to the VID
Block and also under Making Changes to the PCM Calibration. The VID block contains many items
used by the strategy for a variety of functions. Some of these items include the vehicle identification
number (VIN), octane adjust, fuel octane, fuel type, vehicle speed limit, tire size, axle ratio, the
presence of speed control, and 4-wheel drive electronic shift-on-the-fly (ESOF) versus manual
shift-on-the-fly (MSOF). Only items applicable to the vehicle hardware and supported by the VID
block is displayed on the scan tool.
When changing items in the VID block, the strategy places range limits on certain items such as
tire and axle ratio. The number of times the VID block may be reconfigured is limited. When this
limit is reached, the scan tool displays a message indicating the need to flash the PCM again to
reset the VID block.
Programming can be carried out by a local Ford dealer or any non-Ford facility. Refer to the scan
tool manufacturer's instruction manual for details.
Programming the VID Block for a Replacement PCM
A new PCM contains the latest strategy and calibration level for a particular vehicle. However, the
VID block is blank and needs programming. There are 2 procedures available. The first is an
automatic data transfer from the old PCM to the new PCM, and the second is manual data entry
into the new PCM.
Automatic data transfer is carried out if the old PCM is capable of communicating. This is done by
using a scan tool to retrieve data from the old PCM before removing it from the vehicle. The stored
data can then be downloaded to the new PCM after it has been installed.
Carry out manual data entry if the old module is damaged or incapable of communicating. Remove
and install a new PCM. Using a compatible scan tool, select and carry out the module/parameter
programming, referring to the scan tool manufacturer's instruction manual. Make certain that all
parameters are included. Failure to properly program tire size in revolutions per mile, (rev/mile
equals 63,360 divided by the tire circumference in inches), axle ratio, 4x4/4x2, and/or MSOF/ESOF
may result in DTCs P1635 and P1639. You may be instructed to contact the As-Built Data Center
for the information needed to manually update the VID block with the scan tool. Contact the center
only if the old PCM cannot be used or the data is corrupt. For Ford and Lincoln Mercury
technicians, contact your National Hotline or the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website for
As-Built data listed under the Service Publications Index. Non-Ford technicians use the
Motorcraft(R) website at www.motorcraft.com. From the Motorcraft(R) homepage, use the search
function to find the Module Programming or As-Built Data.
For Ford and Lincoln Mercury technicians, check the Programmable Module Installation link on the
PTS website for quick Programmable Module data information by vehicle.
Making Changes to the VID Block
A PCM which is programmed may require changes to be made to certain VID information to
accommodate the vehicle hardware. Refer to Module Reprogramming on the scan tool.
Making Changes to the PCM Calibration
At certain times, the entire EEPROM needs to be completely reprogrammed. This is due to
changes made to the strategy or calibration after production, or the need to reset the VID block
because it has reached its limit. Refer to Module Reprogramming on the scan tool.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR
The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
amount of torque requested by the operator. Depending on the application either a 2-track or
3-track APP sensor is used.
2-Track APP Sensor
2-Track APP Sensor
There are 2 pedal position signals in the sensor. Both signals, APP1 and APP2, have a positive
slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage), but are offset and increase at different rates. The 2
pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern.
The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating where it should be, inferred from the
other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits the other input is used. There are 2
reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 2 signal circuits (a total of 6 circuits and pins)
between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The reference voltage circuits and the signal
return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit and signal return circuit used by the
electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor. The pedal position signal is converted to
pedal travel degrees (rotary angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to
counts, which is the input to the torque based strategy.
3-Track APP Sensor
Typical 3-Track APP Sensor
There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APP1, has a negative slope (increasing
angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APP2 and APP3, both have a positive slope
(increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APP1 is used as the indication of
pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct
input even if 1 signal has a concern. The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating
where it should be, inferred from the other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits
the other inputs are used. The pedal position signal is converted to pedal travel degrees (rotary
angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to counts, which is the input to the
torque based strategy. There are 2 reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 3 signal
circuits (a total of 7 circuits and pins) between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The
reference voltage circuits and the signal return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit
and signal return circuit used by the electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor.

Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR
Typical Synchronizer Hall-Effect CMP Sensor
Typical Variable Reluctance CMP Sensor
The CMP sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor identifies when piston
number 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the PCM and used for synchronizing
the sequential firing of the fuel injectors. Coil on plug (COP) ignition applications use the CMP
signal to select the correct ignition coil to fire.
Vehicles with 2 CMP sensors are equipped with variable camshaft timing (VCT). They use the
second sensor to identify the position of the camshaft on bank 2 as an input to the PCM.
There are 2 types of CMP sensors: the 3-pin connector Hall-effect type sensor and the 2-pin
connector variable reluctance type sensor.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR
Typical Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The CKP sensor is a magnetic transducer mounted on the engine block adjacent to a pulse wheel
located on the crankshaft. By monitoring the crankshaft mounted pulse wheel, the CKP is the
primary sensor for ignition information to the PCM. The pulse wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced
10 degrees apart with one empty space for a missing tooth. The 6.8L 10-cylinder pulse wheel has
39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9 degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring
the pulse wheel, the CKP sensor signal indicates crankshaft position and speed information to the
PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP sensor is also able to identify piston travel in order
to synchronize the ignition system and provide a way of tracking the angular position of the
crankshaft relative to a fixed reference for the CKP sensor configuration. The PCM also uses the
CKP signal to determine if a misfire has occurred by measuring rapid decelerations between teeth.

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE (CHT) SENSOR
Typical CHT Sensor
The CHT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with the temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as temperature increases, and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
The CHT sensor is installed in the cylinder head and measures the metal temperature. The CHT
sensor can provide complete engine temperature information and can be used to infer coolant
temperature. If the CHT sensor conveys an overheating condition to the PCM, the PCM initiates a
fail-safe cooling strategy based on information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system concern
such as low coolant or coolant loss could cause an overheating condition. As a result, damage to
major engine components could occur. Using both the CHT sensor and fail-safe cooling strategy,
the PCM prevents damage by allowing air cooling of the engine and limp home capability.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
Typical Stand-Alone/Non-Integrated Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensors
Typical Integrated Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Incorporated Into A Drop-in Or Flange-type
MAF Sensor
The IAT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The electrical
resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and the resistance increases
as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across the sensor
terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The IAT provides air temperature information to the PCM. The PCM uses the air temperature
information as a correction factor in the calculation of

fuel, spark, and air flow.
The IAT sensor provides a quicker temperature change response time than the ECT or CHT
sensor.
Currently there are 2 design types of IAT sensors used, a stand-alone/non-integrated type and a
integrated type. Both types function the same, however the integrated type is incorporated into the
mass air flow (MAF) sensor instead of being a stand alone sensor.
Supercharged vehicles use 2 IAT sensors. Both sensors are thermistor type devices and operate
as described above. One is located before the supercharger at the air cleaner for standard
OBD/cold weather input, while a second sensor (IAT2) is located after the supercharger in the
intake manifold. The IAT2 sensor located after the supercharger provides air temperature
information to the PCM to control spark and to help determine charge air cooler (CAC) efficiency.

2377
Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE (EOT) SENSOR
Typical EOT Sensor
The EOT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance changes the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The EOT sensor measures the temperature of the engine oil. The sensor is typically threaded into
the engine oil lubrication system. The PCM can use the EOT sensor input to determine the
following:
- On variable camshaft timing (VCT) applications the EOT input is used to adjust the VCT control
gains and logic for camshaft timing.
- The PCM can use EOT sensor input in conjunction with other PCM inputs to determine oil
degradation.
- The PCM can use EOT sensor input to initiate a soft engine shutdown. To prevent engine
damage from occurring as a result of high oil temperatures, the PCM has the ability to initiate a soft
engine shutdown. Whenever engine RPM exceeds a calibrated level for a certain period of time,
the PCM begins reducing power by disabling engine cylinders.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
The HO2S detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust and produces a variable voltage
according to the amount of oxygen detected. A high concentration of oxygen (lean air/fuel ratio) in
the exhaust produces a voltage signal less than 0.4 volt. A low concentration of oxygen (rich
air/fuel ratio) produces a voltage signal greater than 0.6 volt. The HO2S provides feedback to the
PCM indicating air/fuel ratio in order to achieve a near stoichiometric air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1 during
closed loop engine operation. The HO2S generates a voltage between 0.0 and 1.1 volts.
Embedded with the sensing element is the HO2S heater. The heating element heats the sensor to
a temperature of 800°C (1,472°F). At approximately 300°C (572°F) the engine can enter closed
loop operation. The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater. The PCM turns the heater on by
providing the ground when the correct conditions occur. The heater allows the engine to enter
closed loop operation sooner. The use of this heater requires the HO2S heater control to be duty
cycled, to prevent damage to the heater.
Universal HO2S
The universal HO2S, sometimes referred to as a wideband oxygen sensor, uses the typical HO2S
combined with a current controller in the PCM to infer an air/fuel ratio relative to the stoichiometric
air/fuel ratio. This is accomplished by balancing the amount of oxygen ions pumped in or out of a
measurement chamber within the sensor. The typical HO2S within the universal HO2S is used to
detect the oxygen content of the exhaust gas in the measurement chamber. The oxygen content
inside the measurement chamber is maintained at the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio by pumping
oxygen ions in and out of the measurement chamber. As the exhaust gasses get richer or leaner,
the amount of oxygen that must be pumped in or out to maintain a stoichiometric air/fuel ratio in the
measurement chamber varies in proportion to the air/fuel ratio. The amount of current required to
pump the oxygen ions in or out of the measurement chamber is used to measure the air/fuel ratio.
The measured air/fuel ratio is actually the output from the current controller in the PCM and not a
signal that comes directly from the sensor.
The universal HO2S also uses a self-contained reference chamber to make sure an oxygen
differential is always present. The oxygen for the reference chamber is supplied by pumping small
amounts of oxygen ions from the measurement chamber into the reference chamber. The universal
HO2S does not need access to outside air.
Part to part variance is compensated for by placing a resistor in the connector. This resistor is used
to trim the current measured by the current controller in the PCM.
Embedded with the sensing element is the universal H02S heater. The heater allows the engine to
enter closed loop operation sooner. The heating element heats the sensor to a temperature of
780°C (1,436°F). The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater. The PCM controls the heater on
and off by providing the ground to maintain the sensor at the correct temperature for maximum
accuracy.

Power Steering Pressure Switch: Description and Operation
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor
Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor
The PSP sensor monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system. The PSP
sensor voltage input to the PCM changes as the hydraulic pressure changes. The PCM uses the
input signal from the PSP sensor to compensate for additional loads on the engine by adjusting the
idle RPM and preventing engine stall during parking maneuvers. Also, the PSP sensor signals the
PCM to adjust the transmission electronic pressure control (EPC) pressure during increased
engine load, for example, during parking maneuvers.
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
The PSP switch monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system. The PSP switch
is a normally closed switch that opens as the hydraulic pressure increases. The PCM provides a
low current voltage on the PSP circuit. When the PSP switch is closed, this voltage is pulled low
through the SIG RTN circuit. The PCM uses the input signal from the PSP switch to compensate
for additional loads on the engine by adjusting the idle RPM and preventing engine stall during
parking maneuvers. Also, the PSP switch signals the PCM to adjust the transmission electronic
pressure control (EPC) pressure during increased engine load, for example during parking
maneuvers.

Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor is a ceramic, capacitive-type pressure transducer
that monitors the differential pressure across a metering orifice located in the orifice tube assembly.
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor receives this signal through 2 hoses referred to as
the downstream pressure hose (REF SIGNAL) and upstream pressure hose (HI SIGNAL). The HI
and REF hose connections are marked on the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor housing
for identification (note that the HI signal uses a larger diameter hose). The differential pressure
feedback EGR sensor outputs a voltage proportional to the pressure drop across the metering
orifice and supplies it to the PCM as EGR flow rate feedback.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) Throttle Position Sensor
The ETB throttle position sensor has 2 signal circuits in the sensor for redundancy. The redundant
ETB throttle position signals are required for increased monitoring. The first ETB throttle position
sensor signal (TP1) has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and the second
signal (TP2) has a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). The 2 ETB throttle position
sensor signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern. There is
1 reference voltage circuit and 1 signal return circuit for the sensor. The reference voltage circuit
and the signal return circuit is shared with the reference voltage circuits and signal return circuits
used by the APP sensor.
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
Typical TP Sensor
The TP sensor is a rotary potentiometer sensor that provides a signal to the PCM that is linearly
proportional to the throttle plate/shaft position. The sensor housing has a 3-blade electrical
connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases the corrosion resistance on the
terminals and increases the connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body.
As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, 4 operating conditions are determined by the PCM
from the TP. The operating conditions are: closed throttle (includes idle or deceleration)
- part throttle (includes cruise or moderate acceleration)
- wide open throttle (includes maximum acceleration or de-choke on crank)
- throttle angle rate

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor
The OSS sensor provides the PCM with information about the rotational speed of an output shaft.
The PCM uses the information to control and diagnose powertrain behavior. In some applications,
the sensor is also used as the source of vehicle speed. The sensor may be physically located in
different places on the vehicle, depending upon the specific application. The design of each speed
sensor is unique and depends on which powertrain control feature uses the information that is
generated.
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
Typical Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The VSS is a variable reluctance or Hall-effect sensor that generates a waveform with a frequency
that is proportional to the speed of the vehicle. If the vehicle is moving at a relatively low velocity,
the sensor produces a signal with a low frequency. As the vehicle velocity increases, the sensor
generates a signal with a higher frequency. The PCM uses the frequency signal generated by the
VSS (and other inputs) to control such parameters as fuel injection, ignition control,
transmission/transaxle shift scheduling, and torque converter clutch scheduling.

Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor
Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor is a ceramic, capacitive-type pressure transducer
that monitors the differential pressure across a metering orifice located in the orifice tube assembly.
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor receives this signal through 2 hoses referred to as
the downstream pressure hose (REF SIGNAL) and upstream pressure hose (HI SIGNAL). The HI
and REF hose connections are marked on the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor housing
for identification (note that the HI signal uses a larger diameter hose). The differential pressure
feedback EGR sensor outputs a voltage proportional to the pressure drop across the metering
orifice and supplies it to the PCM as EGR flow rate feedback.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR
The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
amount of torque requested by the operator. Depending on the application either a 2-track or
3-track APP sensor is used.
2-Track APP Sensor
2-Track APP Sensor
There are 2 pedal position signals in the sensor. Both signals, APP1 and APP2, have a positive
slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage), but are offset and increase at different rates. The 2
pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern.
The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating where it should be, inferred from the
other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits the other input is used. There are 2
reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 2 signal circuits (a total of 6 circuits and pins)
between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The reference voltage circuits and the signal
return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit and signal return circuit used by the
electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor. The pedal position signal is converted to
pedal travel degrees (rotary angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to
counts, which is the input to the torque based strategy.
3-Track APP Sensor
Typical 3-Track APP Sensor
There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APP1, has a negative slope (increasing
angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APP2 and APP3, both have a positive slope
(increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APP1 is used as the indication of
pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct
input even if 1 signal has a concern. The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating
where it should be, inferred from the other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits
the other inputs are used. The pedal position signal is converted to pedal travel degrees (rotary
angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to counts, which is the input to the
torque based strategy. There are 2 reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 3 signal
circuits (a total of 7 circuits and pins) between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The
reference voltage circuits and the signal return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit
and signal return circuit used by the electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Air Flow Meter/Sensor > Component Information > Locations > Page 2487
Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

Fuel Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
FUEL RAIL PRESSURE TEMPERATURE (FRPT) SENSOR
Typical Fuel Rail Pressure Temperature (FRPT) Sensor
The FRPT sensor measures the pressure and temperature of the fuel in the fuel rail and sends
these signals to the PCM. The sensor uses the intake manifold vacuum as a reference to
determine the pressure difference between the fuel rail and the intake manifold. The relationship
between fuel pressure and fuel temperature is used to determine the possible presence of fuel
vapor in the fuel rail.
The temperature sensing portion of the FRPT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance
changes with temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as the temperature
increases, and the resistance increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance
changes the voltage drop across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM
corresponding to temperature.
Both the pressure and temperature signals are used to control the speed of the fuel pump. The
speed of the fuel pump sustains fuel rail pressure which preserves fuel in its liquid state. The
dynamic range of the fuel injectors increase because of the higher rail pressure, which allows the
injector pulse width to decrease.

Typical Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) Switch
The IFS switch is used in conjunction with the electric fuel pump. The purpose of the IFS switch is
to shutoff the fuel pump if a collision occurs. It consists of a steel ball held in place by a magnet.
When a sharp impact occurs, the ball breaks loose from the magnet, rolls up a conical ramp and
strikes a target plate which opens the electrical contacts of the switch and shuts off the electric fuel
pump. Once the switch is open, it must be manually reset before restarting the vehicle. Refer to the

and the signal return circuit is shared with the reference voltage circuits and signal return circuits
used by the APP sensor.
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
Typical TP Sensor
The TP sensor is a rotary potentiometer sensor that provides a signal to the PCM that is linearly
proportional to the throttle plate/shaft position. The sensor housing has a 3-blade electrical
connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases the corrosion resistance on the
terminals and increases the connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body.
As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, 4 operating conditions are determined by the PCM
from the TP. The operating conditions are: closed throttle (includes idle or deceleration)
- part throttle (includes cruise or moderate acceleration)
- wide open throttle (includes maximum acceleration or de-choke on crank)
- throttle angle rate

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR
Typical Synchronizer Hall-Effect CMP Sensor
Typical Variable Reluctance CMP Sensor
The CMP sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor identifies when piston
number 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the PCM and used for synchronizing
the sequential firing of the fuel injectors. Coil on plug (COP) ignition applications use the CMP
signal to select the correct ignition coil to fire.
Vehicles with 2 CMP sensors are equipped with variable camshaft timing (VCT). They use the
second sensor to identify the position of the camshaft on bank 2 as an input to the PCM.
There are 2 types of CMP sensors: the 3-pin connector Hall-effect type sensor and the 2-pin
connector variable reluctance type sensor.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR
Typical Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The CKP sensor is a magnetic transducer mounted on the engine block adjacent to a pulse wheel
located on the crankshaft. By monitoring the crankshaft mounted pulse wheel, the CKP is the
primary sensor for ignition information to the PCM. The pulse wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced
10 degrees apart with one empty space for a missing tooth. The 6.8L 10-cylinder pulse wheel has
39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9 degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring
the pulse wheel, the CKP sensor signal indicates crankshaft position and speed information to the
PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP sensor is also able to identify piston travel in order
to synchronize the ignition system and provide a way of tracking the angular position of the
crankshaft relative to a fixed reference for the CKP sensor configuration. The PCM also uses the
CKP signal to determine if a misfire has occurred by measuring rapid decelerations between teeth.

ISSUE Some 2004-2008 F-150, 2006-2008 Mark LT, 2005-2008 F-Super Duty, Expedition, and
Navigator, with 5.4L 3-V engine; 2005-2008 Mustang, 2006-2008 Explorer, Mountaineer, and
2007-2008 Explorer Sport Trac with 4.6L 3-V engine; 2005-2008 F-Super Duty, 2006-2008 and
F-Stripped Chassis, with 6.8L 3-V engine may experience difficulty with spark plug removal. This
may cause damage to the spark plug and leave part of the spark plug in the cylinder head. Affected
engine build dates are as follows: 5.4L 3-V and 6.8L 3-V before 10/9/07, 4.6L 3-V before 11/30/07.
ACTION Refer to the following Service Procedure for techniques to remove the spark plugs and
extract broken spark plugs.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
The engine build date can be read on the left hand cam cover information sticker.
To remove spark plugs without damage, it is necessary to adhere exactly to this procedure before
removal is attempted.
CAUTION
DO NOT REMOVE PLUGS WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM OR HOT. THE ENGINE MUST BE AT
ROOM TEMPERATURE WHEN PERFORMING SPARK PLUG SERVICE. REMOVING THE
SPARK PLUGS FROM A WARM/HOT ENGINE INCREASES THE CHANCE THE THREADS
COULD BE DAMAGED.
Spark Plug Removal Procedure
1. Remove the coil-on-plug assemblies and thoroughly blow out the spark plug wells and
surrounding valve cover area with compressed air.
2. Back out the spark plugs no more than 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn. Using Motorcraft(R) Carburetor
Tune-Up Cleaner, fill the spark plug well just above where the jamb nut hex sits (1/2 - 3/4
teaspoon). A minimum period of 15 minutes of soak time is required. The cleaner will wick down to
the ground electrode shield and soften the carbon deposits in this time. DO NOT WORK the spark
plug back and forth at this point.
NOTE
COMPLETELY REVIEW THE PRODUCT LABEL FOR THE MOTORCRAFT CARBURETOR
TUNE-UP CLEANER PRODUCT - USE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE AND SHAKE WELL.
CAUTION
EXCESSIVE MOTORCRAFT(R) CARBURETOR TUNE-UP CLEANER, OR REPEATING THE
PROCESS SEVERAL TIMES WITH TOO MUCH CLEANER FLUID, COULD INTRODUCE
ENOUGH LIQUID VOLUME TO HYDRO-LOCK THE ENGINE.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE AIR OR POWER TOOLS FOR SPARK PLUG REMOVAL. SPARK PLUGS MUST
ONLY BE REMOVED WITH HAND TOOLS.

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection
Spark Plug Inspection
1. Inspect the spark plug for a bridged gap.
^ Check for deposit build-up closing the gap between the electrodes. Deposits are caused by oil or
carbon fouling.
^ Install a new spark plug.
2. Check for oil fouling.
^ Check for wet, black deposits on the insulator shell bore electrodes, caused by excessive oil
entering the combustion chamber through worn rings and pistons, excessive valve-to-guide
clearance or worn or loose bearings.
^ Correct the oil leak concern.
^ Install a new spark plug.
3. Inspect for carbon fouling. Look for black, dry, fluffy carbon deposits on the insulator tips,
exposed shell surfaces and electrodes, caused by a
spark plug with an incorrect heat range, dirty air cleaner, too rich a fuel mixture or excessive idling.
^
Install new spark plugs.
4. Inspect for normal burning.
^ Check for light tan or gray deposits on the firing tip.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Compression Test - Compression Gauge Check
1. Make sure the oil in the crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at the correct level and that the
battery is correctly charged. Operate the vehicle
until the engine is at normal operating temperature. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position,
then remove all the spark plugs.
2. Set the throttle plates in the wide-open position. 3. Install a compression gauge such as the
Compression Tester in the No. 1 cylinder. 4. Install an auxiliary starter switch in the starting circuit.
With the ignition switch in the OFF position, and using the auxiliary starter switch, crank
the engine a minimum of 5 compression strokes and record the highest reading. Note the
approximate number of compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
5. Repeat the test on each cylinder, cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.
Compression Test - Test Results
The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is at least 75% of the highest reading. Refer to the Compression Pressure Limit Chart.
Compression Pressure Limit Chart
Compression Pressure Limit Chart
If one or more cylinders reads low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of engine oil on top of the
pistons in the low reading cylinders. Repeat the compression pressure check on these cylinders.
Compression Test - Interpreting Compression Readings
1. If compression improves considerably, piston rings are faulty. 2. If compression does not
improve, valves are sticking or seating incorrectly.

3. If 2 adjacent cylinders indicate low compression pressures and squirting oil on each piston does
not increase compression, the head gasket may be
leaking between cylinders. Engine oil or coolant in cylinders could result from this condition.
Use the Compression Pressure Limit Chart when checking cylinder compression so that the lowest
reading is within 75% of the highest reading.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR
The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
amount of torque requested by the operator. Depending on the application either a 2-track or
3-track APP sensor is used.
2-Track APP Sensor
2-Track APP Sensor
There are 2 pedal position signals in the sensor. Both signals, APP1 and APP2, have a positive
slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage), but are offset and increase at different rates. The 2
pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern.
The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating where it should be, inferred from the
other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits the other input is used. There are 2
reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 2 signal circuits (a total of 6 circuits and pins)
between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The reference voltage circuits and the signal
return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit and signal return circuit used by the
electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor. The pedal position signal is converted to
pedal travel degrees (rotary angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to
counts, which is the input to the torque based strategy.
3-Track APP Sensor
Typical 3-Track APP Sensor
There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APP1, has a negative slope (increasing
angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APP2 and APP3, both have a positive slope
(increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APP1 is used as the indication of
pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct
input even if 1 signal has a concern. The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating
where it should be, inferred from the other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits
the other inputs are used. The pedal position signal is converted to pedal travel degrees (rotary
angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to counts, which is the input to the
torque based strategy. There are 2 reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 3 signal
circuits (a total of 7 circuits and pins) between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The
reference voltage circuits and the signal return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit
and signal return circuit used by the electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Air Flow Meter/Sensor >
Component Information > Locations > Page 2630
Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
Typical Stand-Alone/Non-Integrated Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensors
Typical Integrated Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Incorporated Into A Drop-in Or Flange-type
MAF Sensor
The IAT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The electrical
resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and the resistance increases
as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across the sensor
terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The IAT provides air temperature information to the PCM. The PCM uses the air temperature
information as a correction factor in the calculation of
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))

Component Information > Locations > Page 2639
fuel, spark, and air flow.
The IAT sensor provides a quicker temperature change response time than the ECT or CHT
sensor.
Currently there are 2 design types of IAT sensors used, a stand-alone/non-integrated type and a
integrated type. Both types function the same, however the integrated type is incorporated into the
mass air flow (MAF) sensor instead of being a stand alone sensor.
Supercharged vehicles use 2 IAT sensors. Both sensors are thermistor type devices and operate
as described above. One is located before the supercharger at the air cleaner for standard
OBD/cold weather input, while a second sensor (IAT2) is located after the supercharger in the
intake manifold. The IAT2 sensor located after the supercharger provides air temperature
information to the PCM to control spark and to help determine charge air cooler (CAC) efficiency.

Brake Signal: Description and Operation
Brake Pedal Position (BPP) Switch
Typical BPP Switch
The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows: to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.
- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.
- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.
Brake Pedal Switch (BPS)/Brake Deactivator Switch
The BPS, also called the brake deactivator switch, is for vehicle speed control deactivation. A
normally closed switch supplies battery positive voltage (B+) to the PCM when the brake pedal is
not applied. When the brake pedal is applied, the normally closed switch opens and power is
removed from the PCM.
On some applications the normally closed BPS, along with the normally open BPP switch, are used
for a brake rationality test within the PCM. The PCM misfire monitor profile learn function may be
disabled if a brake switch concern occurs. If one or both brake pedal inputs to the PCM is not
changing states when they were expected to, a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is set by the PCM
strategy.

CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR
Typical Synchronizer Hall-Effect CMP Sensor
Typical Variable Reluctance CMP Sensor
The CMP sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor identifies when piston
number 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the PCM and used for synchronizing
the sequential firing of the fuel injectors. Coil on plug (COP) ignition applications use the CMP
signal to select the correct ignition coil to fire.
Vehicles with 2 CMP sensors are equipped with variable camshaft timing (VCT). They use the
second sensor to identify the position of the camshaft on bank 2 as an input to the PCM.
There are 2 types of CMP sensors: the 3-pin connector Hall-effect type sensor and the 2-pin
connector variable reluctance type sensor.

Clutch Switch: Description and Operation
CLUTCH PEDAL POSITION (CPP) SWITCH
Typical Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) Switch
The CPP switch is an input to the PCM indicating the clutch pedal position. The PCM provides a
low current voltage on the CPP circuit. When the CPP switch is closed, this voltage is pulled low
through the SIG RTN circuit. The CPP input to the PCM is used to detect a reduction in engine
load. The PCM uses the load information for mass air flow and fuel calculations.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR
Typical Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The CKP sensor is a magnetic transducer mounted on the engine block adjacent to a pulse wheel
located on the crankshaft. By monitoring the crankshaft mounted pulse wheel, the CKP is the
primary sensor for ignition information to the PCM. The pulse wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced
10 degrees apart with one empty space for a missing tooth. The 6.8L 10-cylinder pulse wheel has
39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9 degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring
the pulse wheel, the CKP sensor signal indicates crankshaft position and speed information to the
PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP sensor is also able to identify piston travel in order
to synchronize the ignition system and provide a way of tracking the angular position of the
crankshaft relative to a fixed reference for the CKP sensor configuration. The PCM also uses the
CKP signal to determine if a misfire has occurred by measuring rapid decelerations between teeth.

Data Link Connector: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL (TAC)
Typical In-line TAC Design
Typical Parallel TAC Design
The electronic TAC is a DC motor controlled by the PCM (requires 2 wires). There are 2 designs
for the TAC, parallel and in-line. The parallel design has the motor under the bore parallel to the
plate shaft. The motor housing is integrated into the main housing. The in-line design has a
separate motor housing. An internal spring is used in both designs to return the throttle plate to a
default position. The default position is typically a throttle angle of 7 to 8 degrees from the hard stop
angle. The closed throttle plate hard stop is used to prevent the throttle from binding in the bore
(approximately 0.75 degree). This hard stop setting is not adjustable and is set to result in less
airflow than the minimum engine airflow required at idle.

Electronic Throttle Control Module: Description and Operation
TORQUE BASED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC)
Overview
The torque based ETC is a hardware and software strategy that delivers an engine output torque
(via throttle angle) based on driver demand (pedal position). It uses an electronic throttle body, the
powertrain control module (PCM), and an accelerator pedal assembly to control the throttle
opening and engine torque.
Torque based ETC enables aggressive automatic transmission shift schedules (earlier upshifts and
later downshifts). This is possible by adjusting the throttle angle to achieve the same wheel torque
during shifts, and by calculating this desired torque, the system prevents engine lugging (low RPM
and low manifold vacuum) while still delivering the performance and torque requested by the driver.
It also enables many fuel economy/emission improvement technologies such as variable camshaft
timing (VCT) (deliver same torque during transitions).
Torque based ETC also results in less intrusive vehicle and engine speed limiting, along with
smoother traction control.
Other benefits of ETC are: eliminate cruise control actuators
- eliminate idle air control (IAC) valve
- better airflow range
- packaging (no cable)
- more responsive powertrain at altitude and improved shift quality
The ETC system illuminates a powertrain malfunction indicator (wrench) on the instrument cluster
when a concern is present. Concerns are accompanied by diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and
may also illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
Electronic Throttle Body (ETB)
The ETB has the following characteristics: -
The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor is a DC motor controlled by the PCM (requires 2-wires).
- There are 2 designs: parallel and in-line. The parallel design has the motor under the bore parallel
to the plate shaft. The motor housing is integrated into the main housing. The in-line design has a
separate motor housing.
- An internal spring is used in both designs to return the throttle plate to a default position. The
default position is typically a throttle angle of 7 to 8 degrees from the hard stop angle.
- The closed throttle plate hard stop is used to prevent the throttle from binding in the bore
(approximately 0.75 degree). This hard stop setting is not adjustable and is set to result in less
airflow than the minimum engine airflow required at idle.
- The required idle airflow is provided by the plate angle in the throttle body assembly. This plate
angle controls idle, idle quality, and eliminates the need for an IAC valve.
- There is 1 reference voltage and 1 signal return circuit between the PCM and the ETB. The
reference voltage circuit and the signal return circuit is shared with the reference voltage circuits
and signal return circuits used by the APP sensor. There are also 2 TP signal circuits for
redundancy. The redundant TP signals are required for increased monitoring reasons. The first TP
signal (TP1) has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and the second signal
(TP2) has a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). The TP2 signal reaches a limit of
approximately 4.5 volts at approximately 45 degrees of throttle angle.
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor
Depending on the application either a 2-track or 3-track APP sensor is used.

The torque based ETC strategy was developed to improve fuel economy and to accommodate
variable camshaft timing (VCT). This is possible by not coupling the throttle angle to the driver
pedal position. Uncoupling the throttle angle (produce engine torque) from the pedal position (driver
demand) allows the powertrain control strategy to optimize fuel control and transmission shift
schedules while delivering the requested wheel torque.
The ETC monitor system is distributed across 2 processors within the PCM: the main powertrain
control processor unit (CPU) and a separate monitoring processor. The primary monitoring function
is carried out by the independent plausibility check (IPC) software, which resides on the main
processor. It is responsible for determining the driver-demanded torque and comparing it to an
estimate of the actual torque delivered. If the generated torque exceeds driver demand by a
specified amount, appropriate corrective action is taken.

FLASH ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ ONLY MEMORY (EEPROM)
Description
The EEPROM is contained in an integrated circuit internal to the powertrain control module (PCM).
The EEPROM contains the vehicle strategy including calibration information specific to the vehicle,
and is capable of being programmed or flashed repeatedly.
As part of the calibration there is an area referred to as the vehicle identification (VID) block. The
VID block is programmed when installing a new PCM as described under Programming the VID
Block for a Replacement PCM. Failure to carry out this procedure may generate DTCs PI635 or
P1639. The VID block in an existing PCM can also be tailored to accommodate various hardware
or parameter changes made to the vehicle since production. Failure to carry out this procedure
properly may generate DTC P1635, Tire/Axle Ratio out of Acceptable Range. An incorrect tire/axle
ratio is one of the main causes for DTC P1639. This is described under Making Changes to the VID
Block and also under Making Changes to the PCM Calibration. The VID block contains many items
used by the strategy for a variety of functions. Some of these items include the vehicle identification
number (VIN), octane adjust, fuel octane, fuel type, vehicle speed limit, tire size, axle ratio, the
presence of speed control, and 4-wheel drive electronic shift-on-the-fly (ESOF) versus manual
shift-on-the-fly (MSOF). Only items applicable to the vehicle hardware and supported by the VID
block is displayed on the scan tool.
When changing items in the VID block, the strategy places range limits on certain items such as
tire and axle ratio. The number of times the VID block may be reconfigured is limited. When this
limit is reached, the scan tool displays a message indicating the need to flash the PCM again to
reset the VID block.
Programming can be carried out by a local Ford dealer or any non-Ford facility. Refer to the scan
tool manufacturer's instruction manual for details.
Programming the VID Block for a Replacement PCM
A new PCM contains the latest strategy and calibration level for a particular vehicle. However, the
VID block is blank and needs programming. There are 2 procedures available. The first is an
automatic data transfer from the old PCM to the new PCM, and the second is manual data entry
into the new PCM.
Automatic data transfer is carried out if the old PCM is capable of communicating. This is done by
using a scan tool to retrieve data from the old PCM before removing it from the vehicle. The stored
data can then be downloaded to the new PCM after it has been installed.
Carry out manual data entry if the old module is damaged or incapable of communicating. Remove
and install a new PCM. Using a compatible scan tool, select and carry out the module/parameter
programming, referring to the scan tool manufacturer's instruction manual. Make certain that all
parameters are included. Failure to properly program tire size in revolutions per mile, (rev/mile
equals 63,360 divided by the tire circumference in inches), axle ratio, 4x4/4x2, and/or MSOF/ESOF
may result in DTCs P1635 and P1639. You may be instructed to contact the As-Built Data Center
for the information needed to manually update the VID block with the scan tool. Contact the center
only if the old PCM cannot be used or the data is corrupt. For Ford and Lincoln Mercury
technicians, contact your National Hotline or the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website for
As-Built data listed under the Service Publications Index. Non-Ford technicians use the
Motorcraft(R) website at www.motorcraft.com. From the Motorcraft(R) homepage, use the search
function to find the Module Programming or As-Built Data.
For Ford and Lincoln Mercury technicians, check the Programmable Module Installation link on the
PTS website for quick Programmable Module data information by vehicle.
Making Changes to the VID Block
A PCM which is programmed may require changes to be made to certain VID information to
accommodate the vehicle hardware. Refer to Module Reprogramming on the scan tool.
Making Changes to the PCM Calibration
At certain times, the entire EEPROM needs to be completely reprogrammed. This is due to
changes made to the strategy or calibration after production, or the need to reset the VID block
because it has reached its limit. Refer to Module Reprogramming on the scan tool.

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE (CHT) SENSOR
Typical CHT Sensor
The CHT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with the temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as temperature increases, and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
The CHT sensor is installed in the cylinder head and measures the metal temperature. The CHT
sensor can provide complete engine temperature information and can be used to infer coolant
temperature. If the CHT sensor conveys an overheating condition to the PCM, the PCM initiates a
fail-safe cooling strategy based on information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system concern
such as low coolant or coolant loss could cause an overheating condition. As a result, damage to
major engine components could occur. Using both the CHT sensor and fail-safe cooling strategy,
the PCM prevents damage by allowing air cooling of the engine and limp home capability.

IDLE AIR CONTROL (IAC) VALVE
NOTE: The IAC valve assembly is not adjustable and cannot be cleaned, also some IAC valves are
normally open and others are normally closed. Some IAC valves require engine vacuum to
operate.
The IAC valve assembly controls the engine idle speed and provides a dashpot function. The IAC
valve assembly meters intake air around the throttle plate through a bypass within the IAC valve
assembly and throttle body. The PCM determines the desired idle speed or bypass air and signals
the IAC valve assembly through a specified duty cycle. The IAC valve responds by positioning the
IAC valve to control the amount of bypassed air. The PCM monitors engine RPM and increases or
decreases the IAC duty cycle in order to achieve the desired RPM.
The PCM uses the IAC valve assembly to control:
- no touch start
- cold engine fast idle for rapid warm-up
- idle (corrects for engine load)
- stumble or stalling on deceleration (provides a dashpot function)
- over-temperature idle boost

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Information Bus: Description and Operation
COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
Vehicle communication utilizes a high speed controller area network (HS-CAN), International
Standards Organization (ISO) 9141 network and universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter
(UART)-based protocol (UBP) network. Information is sent to and from individual control modules
that each control specific functions. All 3 networks are connected to the data link connector (DLC).
The DLC can be found under the instrument panel between the steering column and the audio
control module (ACM).
The 3 module communication networks are:
- High speed (HS) CAN
- ISO 9141
- UBP
ISO 9141 is for diagnostic use only while UBP and CAN allow multiple modules to communicate, or
transfer data, with each other on a common network.
NOTE: The ACM, rear entertainment module (RETM) and satellite digital audio receiver system
(SDARS) module communicate on a non-standard medium speed controller area network
(MS-CAN) bus which cannot be accessed by the IDS through the data link connector (DLC).
Network Topology

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Page 2788
ISO 9141 Network Operation
The ISO 9141 communication network is a single wire network, used for diagnostic purposes only.
The ISO 9141 communication network is used for the following modules: Restraints control module (RCM)
- Parking aid module (PAM)
UART-Based Protocol (UBP) Communication Network
The UBP communication network is a single wire network. In addition to scan tool communication,
this network allows sharing of information between all modules on the network.
The UBP communication network is used for the following modules: Driver seat module (DSM)
- Heating ventilation air conditioning (HVAC) module
- Instrument cluster (IC)
- Vehicle security module (VSM)
HS-CAN Operation
The HS-CAN uses an unshielded twisted pair cable, data bus (+) and data bus (-) circuits. In
addition to scan tool communication, this network allows sharing of information between all
modules on the network.
The HS-CAN is a high speed communication network used for the following modules: PCM with integrated 4X4 control module
- ABS module
- IC
Network Termination
The CAN uses a network termination circuit to improve communication reliability. The network
termination of the CAN bus takes place inside the termination modules by termination resistors.
Termination modules are located at either end of the bus network. As network messages are
broadcast, in the form of voltage signals, the network voltage signals are stabilized by the
termination resistors. Each termination module has a 120 ohm resistor across the positive and
negative bus connection in the termination module. With two termination modules on each network,
and the 120 ohm resistors located in a parallel circuit configuration, the total network impedance, or
total resistance is 60 ohms.
Network termination improves bus message reliability by: Stabilizing bus voltage
- Eliminating electrical interference
Gateway Module
The instrument cluster is the gateway module, translating HS-CAN to UBP and vice versa. This
information allows a message to be distributed throughout both networks. The instrument cluster is
the only module on this vehicle that has this ability.

- ISO 9141
- UBP
ISO 9141 Communications Network
The ISO 9141 communications network is a single wire network. The ISO 9141 communications
network does not permit intermodule communication. When the scan tool communicates to
modules on the ISO 9141 communication network, the scan tool must request all information; the
modules cannot initiate communications. The ISO 9141 network operates at a maximum data
transfer speed of 10.4 Kbps.
The following modules are on the ISO 9141 network: Parking aid module (PAM) (if equipped)
- Restraints control module (RCM)
The following fault chart describes the specific ISO 9141 network failures and their resulting
symptom:
ISO 9141 Network Communication Fault Chart
HS-CAN
The HS-CAN uses an unshielded twisted pair cable of data (+) and data (-) circuits. The data (+)
and the data (-) circuits are each regulated to approximately 2.5 volts during neutral or rested
network traffic. As bus messages are sent on the data (+) circuit, voltage is increased by
approximately 1.0 volt. Inversely, the data (-) circuit is reduced by approximately 1.0 volt when a
bus message is sent. Multiple bus messages can be sent over the CAN circuits allowing network
modules to communicate with each other.
The CAN bus (+) and bus (-) circuits must always be terminated. The network termination of the
CAN bus takes place inside the 2 termination modules, the PCM and the instrument cluster (IC), by
resistors rated at 120 ohms, located across the (+) and (-) circuits. The resistors are wired in
parallel to the network bus circuits for a total operating resistance of 60 ohms on a good network.
The HS-CAN operates at a maximum data transfer speed of 500 Kbps and remains operational at
a degraded level when certain circuit faults are present. The HS-CAN bus may remain operational
with only one termination resistor present.
The following modules are on the HS-CAN: ABS module
- IC
- PCM with integrated 4X4 control module
The following fault chart describes the specific HS-CAN failures and their resulting symptom:

Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter (UART)-Based Protocol (UBP) Communications
Network
The UBP communications network is a single circuit communications network, circuit 1906 (VT).
The UBP communications network does not function if the wire is shorted to ground or voltage. The
UBP communications network allows intermodule communication. The UBP network operates at a
maximum data transfer speed of 9.6 Kbps. The UBP network circuit is regulated to approximately
12.0 volts during neutral or rested network traffic. This voltage is reduced proportional to the
volume of bus messages sent.
The following modules are on the UBP network: Heating ventilation air conditioning (HVAC) module (if equipped)
- Driver seat module (DSM) (if equipped)
- Instrument cluster (IC)
- Vehicle security module (VSM)

Inspection and Verification
INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION
This provides step-by-step module configuration procedures. Carry out the programmable module
installation (PMI) procedure when another Vehicle System directs to carry out configuration or
when DTCs from the below list are present: See: Programming and Relearning
NOTE: DTCs retrieved from the audio control module (ACM), rear entertainment module (RETM),
or satellite digital audio receiver system (SDARS) module during an ACM self-test are addressed in
Radio, Stereo and Compact Disc.
Principles of Operation
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Configurable modules accommodate a variety of vehicle options, eliminating the need for many
unique modules for one vehicle line. These modules
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 2795
must be configured when replaced as part of a repair procedure.
Configurable modules should not be exchanged between vehicles since the settings are unique to
each vehicle. Failure to configure a new module may result in improper operation and/or any of the
following DTCs setting:
- B2477 and/or B2141 - sets when a body/chassis module is not configured.
- B2900 - sets when there is a VIN mismatch between the module with the B2900 and the PCM.
Either the PCM or the body module stored VIN may be incorrect.
- P0602, P0605 and/or P1639 - sets when the PCM vehicle identification (VID) block is not
configured or is configured incorrectly.
- U0300 and/or U0301 - sets when the configuration between 2 or more modules do not match.
- U2050 and/or U2051 - sets when a valid strategy/calibration is not present.
The following are the 3 different methods of configuration:
- Programmable module installation (PMI)
- Module reprogramming ("flashing")
- Programmable parameters
Some modules do not support all 3 methods.
Definition of Terms
The following are definitions of configuration terms:
Programmable Module Installation (PMI) PMI is a scan tool process which configures settings in a
new module. Data used for the PMI process is automatically downloaded from the original module
and stored when a scan tool session is started. If this data cannot be retrieved from the module
being replaced, the scan tool may prompt for As-Built data entry or display a list of parameter
values that need to be manually selected. Some modules are reprogrammed during PMI when a
strategy/calibration update is available.
NOTE: A module must be able to communicate with the scan tool in order to carry out PMI. It is
important that the scan tool identifies the vehicle and obtains configuration data prior to removing
any modules. See: Programming and Relearning
To carry out PMI, refer to Programmable Module Installation. See: Programming and Relearning
Module Reprogramming Module reprogramming (also referred to as "flashing") is a scan tool
process which updates the strategy/calibration in a module. Module reprogramming is
automatically carried out during PMI when a later strategy/calibration is available.
Reprogramming a module with the same level of software will not improve module operation or
repair a hardware failure.
NOTE:
- Module reprogramming should be limited to circumstances where a published Technical Service
Bulletin (TSB) procedure recommends doing so.
- A module cannot communicate with other modules on the communication network while being
reprogrammed. Clear any network communication DTCs which may have been set in other
modules during reprogramming.
Programmable Parameters Programmable parameters are customer preference items that may be
modified by the dealer via scan tool or in some cases modified by the customer following a
procedure listed in the vehicle Owner's Literature. While many configuration options may exist for a
module, only a few of these options are programmable parameters.
Adaptive Learning and Calibration
Some modules require a separate learning procedure be carried out if replaced as part of a repair
procedure. For adaptive learning and calibration instructions, refer to the specific module removal
and installation procedures.
Vehicle Identification (VID) Block
Some PCMs contain a memory area called a vehicle identification (VID) block. The PCM VID block
commonly stores powertrain configuration items such as VIN, tire size, axle ratio, and whether or
not the vehicle is equipped with speed control.
As-Built Data
As-Built data is a VIN specific module configuration record. During vehicle build, the configuration
from all modules is downloaded and stored in the As-Built database. As-Built data will not reflect
customer preference items that have been changed from the default state. These items will need to
be changed using programmable parameters after the module is configured.
NOTE: It is not necessary to obtain As-Built data unless directed to do so by the scan tool. This
data may be accessed from the technician service publication website.
The following chart lists body/chassis module As-Built data addresses:

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL)
Check Engine, Service Engine Soon, Or ISO Standard Engine Symbol
The MIL notifies the driver that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an on board
diagnostic (OBD) emission-related component or system concern. When this occurs, an OBD
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) sets.
- The MIL is located in the instrument cluster and is labeled CHECK ENGINE, SERVICE ENGINE
SOON or the international standards organization (ISO) standard engine symbol.
- The MIL is illuminated during the instrument cluster prove out for approximately 4 seconds.
- The MIL remains illuminated after instrument cluster prove out if: an emission-related concern and DTC exists.
- the PCM does not send a control message to the instrument cluster (applications with the MIL
controlled through the communication link).
- the PCM is operating in the hardware limited operation strategy (HLOS).
- The MIL remains off during the instrument cluster prove out if an indicator or instrument cluster
concern is present.
- To turn off the MIL after a repair, a reset command from the scan tool must be sent, or 3
consecutive drive cycles must be completed without a concern.
- For all MIL concerns, go to Symptom Charts. See: Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related
Diagnostic Procedures
- If the MIL flashes at a steady rate, a severe misfire condition may exist.
- If the MIL flashes erratically, the PCM can reset while cranking if the battery voltage is low.
- The MIL flashes after a period of time with the key in the RUN position (engine not running) if
DTC P1000 is set.

Oil Temperature Sensor For ECM: Description and Operation
ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE (EOT) SENSOR
Typical EOT Sensor
The EOT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance changes the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The EOT sensor measures the temperature of the engine oil. The sensor is typically threaded into
the engine oil lubrication system. The PCM can use the EOT sensor input to determine the
following:
- On variable camshaft timing (VCT) applications the EOT input is used to adjust the VCT control
gains and logic for camshaft timing.
- The PCM can use EOT sensor input in conjunction with other PCM inputs to determine oil
degradation.
- The PCM can use EOT sensor input to initiate a soft engine shutdown. To prevent engine
damage from occurring as a result of high oil temperatures, the PCM has the ability to initiate a soft
engine shutdown. Whenever engine RPM exceeds a calibrated level for a certain period of time,
the PCM begins reducing power by disabling engine cylinders.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
The HO2S detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust and produces a variable voltage
according to the amount of oxygen detected. A high concentration of oxygen (lean air/fuel ratio) in
the exhaust produces a voltage signal less than 0.4 volt. A low concentration of oxygen (rich
air/fuel ratio) produces a voltage signal greater than 0.6 volt. The HO2S provides feedback to the
PCM indicating air/fuel ratio in order to achieve a near stoichiometric air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1 during
closed loop engine operation. The HO2S generates a voltage between 0.0 and 1.1 volts.
Embedded with the sensing element is the HO2S heater. The heating element heats the sensor to
a temperature of 800°C (1,472°F). At approximately 300°C (572°F) the engine can enter closed
loop operation. The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater. The PCM turns the heater on by
providing the ground when the correct conditions occur. The heater allows the engine to enter
closed loop operation sooner. The use of this heater requires the HO2S heater control to be duty
cycled, to prevent damage to the heater.
Universal HO2S
The universal HO2S, sometimes referred to as a wideband oxygen sensor, uses the typical HO2S
combined with a current controller in the PCM to infer an air/fuel ratio relative to the stoichiometric
air/fuel ratio. This is accomplished by balancing the amount of oxygen ions pumped in or out of a
measurement chamber within the sensor. The typical HO2S within the universal HO2S is used to
detect the oxygen content of the exhaust gas in the measurement chamber. The oxygen content
inside the measurement chamber is maintained at the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio by pumping
oxygen ions in and out of the measurement chamber. As the exhaust gasses get richer or leaner,
the amount of oxygen that must be pumped in or out to maintain a stoichiometric air/fuel ratio in the
measurement chamber varies in proportion to the air/fuel ratio. The amount of current required to
pump the oxygen ions in or out of the measurement chamber is used to measure the air/fuel ratio.
The measured air/fuel ratio is actually the output from the current controller in the PCM and not a
signal that comes directly from the sensor.
The universal HO2S also uses a self-contained reference chamber to make sure an oxygen
differential is always present. The oxygen for the reference chamber is supplied by pumping small
amounts of oxygen ions from the measurement chamber into the reference chamber. The universal
HO2S does not need access to outside air.
Part to part variance is compensated for by placing a resistor in the connector. This resistor is used
to trim the current measured by the current controller in the PCM.
Embedded with the sensing element is the universal H02S heater. The heater allows the engine to
enter closed loop operation sooner. The heating element heats the sensor to a temperature of
780°C (1,436°F). The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater. The PCM controls the heater on
and off by providing the ground to maintain the sensor at the correct temperature for maximum
accuracy.

Power Steering Pressure Switch: Description and Operation
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor
Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor
The PSP sensor monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system. The PSP
sensor voltage input to the PCM changes as the hydraulic pressure changes. The PCM uses the
input signal from the PSP sensor to compensate for additional loads on the engine by adjusting the
idle RPM and preventing engine stall during parking maneuvers. Also, the PSP sensor signals the
PCM to adjust the transmission electronic pressure control (EPC) pressure during increased
engine load, for example, during parking maneuvers.
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
The PSP switch monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system. The PSP switch
is a normally closed switch that opens as the hydraulic pressure increases. The PCM provides a
low current voltage on the PSP circuit. When the PSP switch is closed, this voltage is pulled low
through the SIG RTN circuit. The PCM uses the input signal from the PSP switch to compensate
for additional loads on the engine by adjusting the idle RPM and preventing engine stall during
parking maneuvers. Also, the PSP switch signals the PCM to adjust the transmission electronic
pressure control (EPC) pressure during increased engine load, for example during parking
maneuvers.

Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor is a ceramic, capacitive-type pressure transducer
that monitors the differential pressure across a metering orifice located in the orifice tube assembly.
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor receives this signal through 2 hoses referred to as
the downstream pressure hose (REF SIGNAL) and upstream pressure hose (HI SIGNAL). The HI
and REF hose connections are marked on the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor housing
for identification (note that the HI signal uses a larger diameter hose). The differential pressure
feedback EGR sensor outputs a voltage proportional to the pressure drop across the metering
orifice and supplies it to the PCM as EGR flow rate feedback.

Electronic Throttle Control Module: Description and Operation
TORQUE BASED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC)
Overview
The torque based ETC is a hardware and software strategy that delivers an engine output torque
(via throttle angle) based on driver demand (pedal position). It uses an electronic throttle body, the
powertrain control module (PCM), and an accelerator pedal assembly to control the throttle
opening and engine torque.
Torque based ETC enables aggressive automatic transmission shift schedules (earlier upshifts and
later downshifts). This is possible by adjusting the throttle angle to achieve the same wheel torque
during shifts, and by calculating this desired torque, the system prevents engine lugging (low RPM
and low manifold vacuum) while still delivering the performance and torque requested by the driver.
It also enables many fuel economy/emission improvement technologies such as variable camshaft
timing (VCT) (deliver same torque during transitions).
Torque based ETC also results in less intrusive vehicle and engine speed limiting, along with
smoother traction control.
Other benefits of ETC are: eliminate cruise control actuators
- eliminate idle air control (IAC) valve
- better airflow range
- packaging (no cable)
- more responsive powertrain at altitude and improved shift quality
The ETC system illuminates a powertrain malfunction indicator (wrench) on the instrument cluster
when a concern is present. Concerns are accompanied by diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and
may also illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
Electronic Throttle Body (ETB)
The ETB has the following characteristics: -
The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor is a DC motor controlled by the PCM (requires 2-wires).
- There are 2 designs: parallel and in-line. The parallel design has the motor under the bore parallel
to the plate shaft. The motor housing is integrated into the main housing. The in-line design has a
separate motor housing.
- An internal spring is used in both designs to return the throttle plate to a default position. The
default position is typically a throttle angle of 7 to 8 degrees from the hard stop angle.
- The closed throttle plate hard stop is used to prevent the throttle from binding in the bore
(approximately 0.75 degree). This hard stop setting is not adjustable and is set to result in less
airflow than the minimum engine airflow required at idle.
- The required idle airflow is provided by the plate angle in the throttle body assembly. This plate
angle controls idle, idle quality, and eliminates the need for an IAC valve.
- There is 1 reference voltage and 1 signal return circuit between the PCM and the ETB. The
reference voltage circuit and the signal return circuit is shared with the reference voltage circuits
and signal return circuits used by the APP sensor. There are also 2 TP signal circuits for
redundancy. The redundant TP signals are required for increased monitoring reasons. The first TP
signal (TP1) has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and the second signal
(TP2) has a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). The TP2 signal reaches a limit of
approximately 4.5 volts at approximately 45 degrees of throttle angle.
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor
Depending on the application either a 2-track or 3-track APP sensor is used.

The torque based ETC strategy was developed to improve fuel economy and to accommodate
variable camshaft timing (VCT). This is possible by not coupling the throttle angle to the driver
pedal position. Uncoupling the throttle angle (produce engine torque) from the pedal position (driver
demand) allows the powertrain control strategy to optimize fuel control and transmission shift
schedules while delivering the requested wheel torque.
The ETC monitor system is distributed across 2 processors within the PCM: the main powertrain
control processor unit (CPU) and a separate monitoring processor. The primary monitoring function
is carried out by the independent plausibility check (IPC) software, which resides on the main
processor. It is responsible for determining the driver-demanded torque and comparing it to an
estimate of the actual torque delivered. If the generated torque exceeds driver demand by a
specified amount, appropriate corrective action is taken.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Instructions > Page 2923
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

FLASH ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ ONLY MEMORY (EEPROM)
Description
The EEPROM is contained in an integrated circuit internal to the powertrain control module (PCM).
The EEPROM contains the vehicle strategy including calibration information specific to the vehicle,
and is capable of being programmed or flashed repeatedly.
As part of the calibration there is an area referred to as the vehicle identification (VID) block. The
VID block is programmed when installing a new PCM as described under Programming the VID
Block for a Replacement PCM. Failure to carry out this procedure may generate DTCs PI635 or
P1639. The VID block in an existing PCM can also be tailored to accommodate various hardware
or parameter changes made to the vehicle since production. Failure to carry out this procedure
properly may generate DTC P1635, Tire/Axle Ratio out of Acceptable Range. An incorrect tire/axle
ratio is one of the main causes for DTC P1639. This is described under Making Changes to the VID
Block and also under Making Changes to the PCM Calibration. The VID block contains many items
used by the strategy for a variety of functions. Some of these items include the vehicle identification
number (VIN), octane adjust, fuel octane, fuel type, vehicle speed limit, tire size, axle ratio, the
presence of speed control, and 4-wheel drive electronic shift-on-the-fly (ESOF) versus manual
shift-on-the-fly (MSOF). Only items applicable to the vehicle hardware and supported by the VID
block is displayed on the scan tool.
When changing items in the VID block, the strategy places range limits on certain items such as
tire and axle ratio. The number of times the VID block may be reconfigured is limited. When this
limit is reached, the scan tool displays a message indicating the need to flash the PCM again to
reset the VID block.
Programming can be carried out by a local Ford dealer or any non-Ford facility. Refer to the scan
tool manufacturer's instruction manual for details.
Programming the VID Block for a Replacement PCM
A new PCM contains the latest strategy and calibration level for a particular vehicle. However, the
VID block is blank and needs programming. There are 2 procedures available. The first is an
automatic data transfer from the old PCM to the new PCM, and the second is manual data entry
into the new PCM.
Automatic data transfer is carried out if the old PCM is capable of communicating. This is done by
using a scan tool to retrieve data from the old PCM before removing it from the vehicle. The stored
data can then be downloaded to the new PCM after it has been installed.
Carry out manual data entry if the old module is damaged or incapable of communicating. Remove
and install a new PCM. Using a compatible scan tool, select and carry out the module/parameter
programming, referring to the scan tool manufacturer's instruction manual. Make certain that all
parameters are included. Failure to properly program tire size in revolutions per mile, (rev/mile
equals 63,360 divided by the tire circumference in inches), axle ratio, 4x4/4x2, and/or MSOF/ESOF
may result in DTCs P1635 and P1639. You may be instructed to contact the As-Built Data Center
for the information needed to manually update the VID block with the scan tool. Contact the center
only if the old PCM cannot be used or the data is corrupt. For Ford and Lincoln Mercury
technicians, contact your National Hotline or the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website for
As-Built data listed under the Service Publications Index. Non-Ford technicians use the
Motorcraft(R) website at www.motorcraft.com. From the Motorcraft(R) homepage, use the search
function to find the Module Programming or As-Built Data.
For Ford and Lincoln Mercury technicians, check the Programmable Module Installation link on the
PTS website for quick Programmable Module data information by vehicle.
Making Changes to the VID Block
A PCM which is programmed may require changes to be made to certain VID information to
accommodate the vehicle hardware. Refer to Module Reprogramming on the scan tool.
Making Changes to the PCM Calibration
At certain times, the entire EEPROM needs to be completely reprogrammed. This is due to
changes made to the strategy or calibration after production, or the need to reset the VID block
because it has reached its limit. Refer to Module Reprogramming on the scan tool.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR
The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
amount of torque requested by the operator. Depending on the application either a 2-track or
3-track APP sensor is used.
2-Track APP Sensor
2-Track APP Sensor
There are 2 pedal position signals in the sensor. Both signals, APP1 and APP2, have a positive
slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage), but are offset and increase at different rates. The 2
pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern.
The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating where it should be, inferred from the
other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits the other input is used. There are 2
reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 2 signal circuits (a total of 6 circuits and pins)
between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The reference voltage circuits and the signal
return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit and signal return circuit used by the
electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor. The pedal position signal is converted to
pedal travel degrees (rotary angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to
counts, which is the input to the torque based strategy.
3-Track APP Sensor
Typical 3-Track APP Sensor
There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APP1, has a negative slope (increasing
angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APP2 and APP3, both have a positive slope
(increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APP1 is used as the indication of
pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct
input even if 1 signal has a concern. The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating
where it should be, inferred from the other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits
the other inputs are used. The pedal position signal is converted to pedal travel degrees (rotary
angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to counts, which is the input to the
torque based strategy. There are 2 reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 3 signal
circuits (a total of 7 circuits and pins) between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The
reference voltage circuits and the signal return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit
and signal return circuit used by the electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Computers and Control Systems > Air Flow Meter/Sensor > Component Information > Locations > Page 2962
Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR
Typical Synchronizer Hall-Effect CMP Sensor
Typical Variable Reluctance CMP Sensor
The CMP sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor identifies when piston
number 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the PCM and used for synchronizing
the sequential firing of the fuel injectors. Coil on plug (COP) ignition applications use the CMP
signal to select the correct ignition coil to fire.
Vehicles with 2 CMP sensors are equipped with variable camshaft timing (VCT). They use the
second sensor to identify the position of the camshaft on bank 2 as an input to the PCM.
There are 2 types of CMP sensors: the 3-pin connector Hall-effect type sensor and the 2-pin
connector variable reluctance type sensor.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR
Typical Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The CKP sensor is a magnetic transducer mounted on the engine block adjacent to a pulse wheel
located on the crankshaft. By monitoring the crankshaft mounted pulse wheel, the CKP is the
primary sensor for ignition information to the PCM. The pulse wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced
10 degrees apart with one empty space for a missing tooth. The 6.8L 10-cylinder pulse wheel has
39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9 degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring
the pulse wheel, the CKP sensor signal indicates crankshaft position and speed information to the
PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP sensor is also able to identify piston travel in order
to synchronize the ignition system and provide a way of tracking the angular position of the
crankshaft relative to a fixed reference for the CKP sensor configuration. The PCM also uses the
CKP signal to determine if a misfire has occurred by measuring rapid decelerations between teeth.

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE (CHT) SENSOR
Typical CHT Sensor
The CHT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with the temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as temperature increases, and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
The CHT sensor is installed in the cylinder head and measures the metal temperature. The CHT
sensor can provide complete engine temperature information and can be used to infer coolant
temperature. If the CHT sensor conveys an overheating condition to the PCM, the PCM initiates a
fail-safe cooling strategy based on information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system concern
such as low coolant or coolant loss could cause an overheating condition. As a result, damage to
major engine components could occur. Using both the CHT sensor and fail-safe cooling strategy,
the PCM prevents damage by allowing air cooling of the engine and limp home capability.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
Typical Stand-Alone/Non-Integrated Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensors
Typical Integrated Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Incorporated Into A Drop-in Or Flange-type
MAF Sensor
The IAT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The electrical
resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and the resistance increases
as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across the sensor
terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The IAT provides air temperature information to the PCM. The PCM uses the air temperature
information as a correction factor in the calculation of

fuel, spark, and air flow.
The IAT sensor provides a quicker temperature change response time than the ECT or CHT
sensor.
Currently there are 2 design types of IAT sensors used, a stand-alone/non-integrated type and a
integrated type. Both types function the same, however the integrated type is incorporated into the
mass air flow (MAF) sensor instead of being a stand alone sensor.
Supercharged vehicles use 2 IAT sensors. Both sensors are thermistor type devices and operate
as described above. One is located before the supercharger at the air cleaner for standard
OBD/cold weather input, while a second sensor (IAT2) is located after the supercharger in the
intake manifold. The IAT2 sensor located after the supercharger provides air temperature
information to the PCM to control spark and to help determine charge air cooler (CAC) efficiency.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Computers and Control Systems > Intake Air Temperature Sensor > Component Information > Locations > Page 3023
Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE (EOT) SENSOR
Typical EOT Sensor
The EOT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance changes the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The EOT sensor measures the temperature of the engine oil. The sensor is typically threaded into
the engine oil lubrication system. The PCM can use the EOT sensor input to determine the
following:
- On variable camshaft timing (VCT) applications the EOT input is used to adjust the VCT control
gains and logic for camshaft timing.
- The PCM can use EOT sensor input in conjunction with other PCM inputs to determine oil
degradation.
- The PCM can use EOT sensor input to initiate a soft engine shutdown. To prevent engine
damage from occurring as a result of high oil temperatures, the PCM has the ability to initiate a soft
engine shutdown. Whenever engine RPM exceeds a calibrated level for a certain period of time,
the PCM begins reducing power by disabling engine cylinders.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
The HO2S detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust and produces a variable voltage
according to the amount of oxygen detected. A high concentration of oxygen (lean air/fuel ratio) in
the exhaust produces a voltage signal less than 0.4 volt. A low concentration of oxygen (rich
air/fuel ratio) produces a voltage signal greater than 0.6 volt. The HO2S provides feedback to the
PCM indicating air/fuel ratio in order to achieve a near stoichiometric air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1 during
closed loop engine operation. The HO2S generates a voltage between 0.0 and 1.1 volts.
Embedded with the sensing element is the HO2S heater. The heating element heats the sensor to
a temperature of 800°C (1,472°F). At approximately 300°C (572°F) the engine can enter closed
loop operation. The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater. The PCM turns the heater on by
providing the ground when the correct conditions occur. The heater allows the engine to enter
closed loop operation sooner. The use of this heater requires the HO2S heater control to be duty
cycled, to prevent damage to the heater.
Universal HO2S
The universal HO2S, sometimes referred to as a wideband oxygen sensor, uses the typical HO2S
combined with a current controller in the PCM to infer an air/fuel ratio relative to the stoichiometric
air/fuel ratio. This is accomplished by balancing the amount of oxygen ions pumped in or out of a
measurement chamber within the sensor. The typical HO2S within the universal HO2S is used to
detect the oxygen content of the exhaust gas in the measurement chamber. The oxygen content
inside the measurement chamber is maintained at the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio by pumping
oxygen ions in and out of the measurement chamber. As the exhaust gasses get richer or leaner,
the amount of oxygen that must be pumped in or out to maintain a stoichiometric air/fuel ratio in the
measurement chamber varies in proportion to the air/fuel ratio. The amount of current required to
pump the oxygen ions in or out of the measurement chamber is used to measure the air/fuel ratio.
The measured air/fuel ratio is actually the output from the current controller in the PCM and not a
signal that comes directly from the sensor.
The universal HO2S also uses a self-contained reference chamber to make sure an oxygen
differential is always present. The oxygen for the reference chamber is supplied by pumping small
amounts of oxygen ions from the measurement chamber into the reference chamber. The universal
HO2S does not need access to outside air.
Part to part variance is compensated for by placing a resistor in the connector. This resistor is used
to trim the current measured by the current controller in the PCM.
Embedded with the sensing element is the universal H02S heater. The heater allows the engine to
enter closed loop operation sooner. The heating element heats the sensor to a temperature of
780°C (1,436°F). The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater. The PCM controls the heater on
and off by providing the ground to maintain the sensor at the correct temperature for maximum
accuracy.

Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor
Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor
The PSP sensor monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system. The PSP
sensor voltage input to the PCM changes as the hydraulic pressure changes. The PCM uses the
input signal from the PSP sensor to compensate for additional loads on the engine by adjusting the
idle RPM and preventing engine stall during parking maneuvers. Also, the PSP sensor signals the
PCM to adjust the transmission electronic pressure control (EPC) pressure during increased
engine load, for example, during parking maneuvers.

The PSP switch monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system. The PSP switch
is a normally closed switch that opens as the hydraulic pressure increases. The PCM provides a

through the SIG RTN circuit. The PCM uses the input signal from the PSP switch to compensate
for additional loads on the engine by adjusting the idle RPM and preventing engine stall during
parking maneuvers. Also, the PSP switch signals the PCM to adjust the transmission electronic

Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor
Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor is a ceramic, capacitive-type pressure transducer
that monitors the differential pressure across a metering orifice located in the orifice tube assembly.
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor receives this signal through 2 hoses referred to as
the downstream pressure hose (REF SIGNAL) and upstream pressure hose (HI SIGNAL). The HI
and REF hose connections are marked on the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor housing
for identification (note that the HI signal uses a larger diameter hose). The differential pressure

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) Throttle Position Sensor
The ETB throttle position sensor has 2 signal circuits in the sensor for redundancy. The redundant
ETB throttle position signals are required for increased monitoring. The first ETB throttle position
sensor signal (TP1) has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and the second
signal (TP2) has a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). The 2 ETB throttle position
sensor signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern. There is
1 reference voltage circuit and 1 signal return circuit for the sensor. The reference voltage circuit
and the signal return circuit is shared with the reference voltage circuits and signal return circuits
used by the APP sensor.
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
Typical TP Sensor
The TP sensor is a rotary potentiometer sensor that provides a signal to the PCM that is linearly
proportional to the throttle plate/shaft position. The sensor housing has a 3-blade electrical
connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases the corrosion resistance on the
terminals and increases the connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body.
As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, 4 operating conditions are determined by the PCM
from the TP. The operating conditions are: closed throttle (includes idle or deceleration)
- part throttle (includes cruise or moderate acceleration)
- wide open throttle (includes maximum acceleration or de-choke on crank)
- throttle angle rate

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3088
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor
The OSS sensor provides the PCM with information about the rotational speed of an output shaft.
The PCM uses the information to control and diagnose powertrain behavior. In some applications,
the sensor is also used as the source of vehicle speed. The sensor may be physically located in
different places on the vehicle, depending upon the specific application. The design of each speed
sensor is unique and depends on which powertrain control feature uses the information that is
generated.
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
Typical Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The VSS is a variable reluctance or Hall-effect sensor that generates a waveform with a frequency
that is proportional to the speed of the vehicle. If the vehicle is moving at a relatively low velocity,
the sensor produces a signal with a low frequency. As the vehicle velocity increases, the sensor
generates a signal with a higher frequency. The PCM uses the frequency signal generated by the
VSS (and other inputs) to control such parameters as fuel injection, ignition control,
transmission/transaxle shift scheduling, and torque converter clutch scheduling.

Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
VARIABLE CAMSHAFT TIMING (VCT) SYSTEM
Overview
The VCT enables rotation of the camshaft(s) relative to the crankshaft rotation as a function of
engine operating conditions. There are 4 types of VCT systems.
- Exhaust phase shifting (EPS) system - the exhaust cam is the active cam being retarded.
- Intake phase shifting (IPS) system - the intake cam is the active cam being advanced.
- Dual equal phase shifting (DEPS) system - both intake and exhaust cams are phase shifted and
equally advanced or retarded.
- Dual independent phase shifting (DIPS) system - where both the intake and exhaust cams are
shifted independently.
All systems have 4 operational modes: idle, part throttle, wide open throttle (WOT), and default
mode. At idle and low engine speeds with closed throttle, the powertrain control module (PCM)
determines the phase angle based on air flow, engine oil temperature and engine coolant
temperature. At part and wide open throttle the PCM determines the phase angle based on engine
RPM, load, and throttle position. VCT systems provide reduced emissions and enhanced engine
power, fuel economy and idle quality. IPS systems also have the added benefit of improved torque.
In addition, some VCT system applications can eliminate the need for an external exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) system. The elimination of the EGR system is accomplished by controlling the
overlap time between the intake valve opening and exhaust valve closing. Currently, both the IPS
and DEPS systems are used.
Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) System
VCT System
The VCT system consists of an electric hydraulic positioning control solenoid, a camshaft position
(CMP) sensor, and a trigger wheel. The CMP trigger wheel has a number of equally spaced teeth
equal to the number (n) of cylinders on a bank plus one extra tooth (n+1). Four cylinder and V8
engines use a CMP 4+1 tooth trigger wheel. V6 engines use a CMP 3+1 tooth trigger wheel. The
extra tooth placed between the equally spaced teeth represents the CMP signal for that bank. A
crankshaft position (CKP) sensor provides the PCM with crankshaft positioning information in 10
degree increments.
1. The PCM receives input signals from the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor, engine coolant
temperature (ECT) sensor, engine oil temperature
(EOT) sensor, CMP, throttle position (TP) sensor, mass air flow (MAF) sensor, and CKP to
determine the operating conditions of the engine. At idle and low engine speeds with closed
throttle, the PCM controls the camshaft position based on ECT, EOT, IAT, and MAF. During part
and wide open throttle, the camshaft position is determined by engine RPM, load and throttle
position. The VCT system does not operate until the engine is at normal operating temperature.
2. The VCT system is enabled by the PCM when the correct conditions are met. 3. The CKP signal
is used as a reference for CMP positioning. 4. The VCT solenoid valve is an integral part of the
VCT system. The solenoid valve controls the flow of engine oil in the VCT actuator assembly.
As the PCM controls the duty cycle of the solenoid valve, oil pressure/flow advances or retards the
cam timing. Duty cycles near 0% or 100% represent rapid movement of the camshaft. Retaining a
fixed camshaft position is accomplished by dithering (oscillating) the solenoid valve duty cycle.
The PCM calculates and determines the desired camshaft position. It continually updates the VCT
solenoid duty cycle until the desired position is achieved. A difference between the desired and
actual camshaft position represents a position error in the PCM VCT control loop. The PCM
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Variable Valve Timing Actuator >
Component Information > Diagrams > Page 3152
disables the VCT and places the camshaft in a default position if a concern is detected. A related
DTC is also set when the concern is detected.
5. When the VCT solenoid is energized, engine oil is allowed to flow to the VCT actuator assembly
which advances or retards the camshaft timing.
One half of the VCT actuator is coupled to the camshaft and the other half is connected to the
timing chain. Oil chambers between the 2 halves couple the camshaft to the timing chain. When
the flow of oil is shifted from one side of the chamber to the other, the differential change in oil
pressure forces the camshaft to rotate in either an advance or retard position depending on the oil
flow.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor
The OSS sensor provides the PCM with information about the rotational speed of an output shaft.
The PCM uses the information to control and diagnose powertrain behavior. In some applications,
the sensor is also used as the source of vehicle speed. The sensor may be physically located in
different places on the vehicle, depending upon the specific application. The design of each speed
sensor is unique and depends on which powertrain control feature uses the information that is
generated.
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
Typical Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The VSS is a variable reluctance or Hall-effect sensor that generates a waveform with a frequency
that is proportional to the speed of the vehicle. If the vehicle is moving at a relatively low velocity,
the sensor produces a signal with a low frequency. As the vehicle velocity increases, the sensor
generates a signal with a higher frequency. The PCM uses the frequency signal generated by the
VSS (and other inputs) to control such parameters as fuel injection, ignition control,
transmission/transaxle shift scheduling, and torque converter clutch scheduling.

vacuum is supplied to the AIR diverter valve, air passes the integral check valve disk. When the
secondary AIR pump is off, and vacuum is removed from the AIR diverter valve, the integral check
valve disk is held on the seat and stops air from being drawn into the exhaust system and prevents
the back flow of the exhaust into the secondary AIR system.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation
CATALYST AND EXHAUST SYSTEMS
Overview
V-Engines
In-Line Engines
The catalytic converter and exhaust systems work together to control the release of harmful engine
exhaust emissions into the atmosphere. The engine exhaust gas consists mainly of nitrogen (N),
carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O). However, it also contains carbon monoxide (CO),
oxides of nitrogen (NOx), hydrogen (H), and various unburned hydrocarbons (HCs). The major air
pollutants of CO, NOx,and HCs, and their emission into the atmosphere must be controlled.
The exhaust system generally consists of an exhaust manifold, front exhaust pipe, front heated
oxygen sensor (HO2S), rear exhaust pipe, catalyst HO2S, a muffler, and an exhaust tailpipe. The
catalytic converter is typically installed between the front and rear exhaust pipes. On some vehicle
applications, more than one catalyst is used between the front and rear exhaust pipes. Catalytic
converter efficiency is monitored by the on board diagnostic (OBD) system strategy in the
powertrain control module (PCM). For information on the OBD catalyst monitor, refer to the
description for the Catalyst Efficiency Monitor. See: Computers and Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes/Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
For most vehicles, only 2 HO2Ss are used in an exhaust stream. The front sensors
(HO2S11/HO2S21) before the catalyst are used for primary fuel control while the ones after the
catalyst (HO2S12/HO2S22) are used to monitor catalyst efficiency. However, some partial zero
emission vehicles (PZEV) use 3 HO2Ss for each engine bank. The stream 1 sensors
(HO2S11/HO2S21) located before the catalyst are used for primary fuel control, the stream 2
sensors (HO2S12/HO2S22) are used to monitor the light-off catalyst, and the stream 3 sensors
(HO2S13/HO2S23) located after the catalyst are used for long term fuel trim control to optimize
catalyst efficiency (fore aft oxygen sensor control).
Catalytic Converter
A catalyst is a material that remains unchanged when it initiates and increases the speed of a
chemical reaction. A catalyst also enables a chemical reaction to occur at a lower temperature. The
concentration of exhaust gas products released to the atmosphere must be controlled. The
catalytic
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Catalytic Converter > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Page 3170
converter assists in this task. It contains a catalyst in the form of a specially treated ceramic
honeycomb structure saturated with catalytically active precious metals. As the exhaust gases
come in contact with the catalyst, they are changed into mostly harmless products. The catalyst
initiates and speeds up heat producing chemical reactions of the exhaust gas components so they
are used up as much as possible.
Light Off Catalyst
As the catalyst heats up, converter efficiency rises rapidly. The point at which conversion efficiency
exceeds 50% is called catalyst light off. For most catalysts this point occurs at 246°C to 302°C
(475°F to 575°F). A fast light catalyst is a 3-way catalyst (TWC) that is located as close to the
exhaust manifold as possible. Because the light off catalyst is located close to the exhaust manifold
it lights off faster and reduces emissions more quickly than the catalyst located under the body.
Once the catalyst lights off, the catalyst quickly reaches the maximum conversion efficiency for that
catalyst.
Three-Way Catalyst (TWC) Conversion Efficiency
TWC Conversion Efficiency Chart
A TWC requires a stoichiometric fuel ratio, 14.7 pounds of air to 1 pound of fuel (14.7:1), for high
conversion efficiency. In order to achieve these high efficiencies, the air/fuel ratio must be tightly
controlled with a narrow window of stoichiometry. Deviations outside of this window greatly
decrease the conversion efficiency. For example a rich mixture decreases the HC and CO
conversion efficiency while a lean mixture decreases the NOx conversion efficiency.
Exhaust System
Typical Bank 1 Catalyst 2 HO2S Configuration

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Catalytic Converter > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Page 3171
Typical Bank 1 Catalyst 3 HO2S Configuration
The purpose of the exhaust system is to convey engine emissions from the exhaust manifold to the
atmosphere. Engine exhaust emissions are directed from the engine exhaust manifold to the
catalytic converter through the front exhaust pipe. A HO2S is mounted on the front exhaust pipe
before the catalyst. The catalytic converter reduces the concentration of CO, unburned HCs, and
NOx in the exhaust emissions to an acceptable level. The reduced exhaust emissions are directed
from the catalytic converter past another HO2S mounted in the rear exhaust pipe and then on into
the muffler. Finally, the exhaust emissions are directed to the atmosphere through an exhaust
tailpipe.
On some PZEV, there is a total of 3 HO2S in the exhaust stream. One near the exhaust manifold
(stream 1), one in the middle of the light-off catalyst (stream 2), and the third (stream 3) is mounted
after the light-off catalyst.
Underbody Catalyst
The underbody catalyst is located after the light off catalyst. The underbody catalyst may be in line
with the light off catalyst, or the underbody catalyst may be common to 2 light off catalysts, forming
a Y pipe configuration. For an exact configuration of the catalyst and exhaust system for a specific
vehicle, refer to Exhaust System for the exhaust system-exploded view.
Three-Way Catalytic (TWC) Converter
The TWC converter contains either platinum (Pt) and rhodium (Rh) or palladium (Pd) and rhodium
(Rh). The TWC converter catalyzes the oxidation reactions of unburned HCs and CO and the
reduction reaction of NOx. The 3-way conversion can be best accomplished by always operating
the engine air fuel/ratio at or close to stoichiometry.
Exhaust Manifold Runners
The exhaust manifold runners collect exhaust gases from engine cylinders. The number of exhaust
manifolds and exhaust manifold runners depends on the engine configuration and number of
cylinders.
Exhaust Pipes
Exhaust pipes are usually treated during manufacturing with an anti-corrosive coating agent to
increase the life of the product. The pipes serve as guides for the flow of exhaust gases from the
engine exhaust manifold through the catalytic converter and the muffler.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
The HO2Ss provide the PCM with information related to the oxygen content of the exhaust gas.
Muffler
Mufflers are usually treated during manufacturing with an anti-corrosive coating agent to increase
the life of the product. The muffler reduces the level of noise produced by the engine, and also
reduces the noise produced by exhaust gases as they travel from the catalytic converter to the
atmosphere.

Canister Purge Control Valve: Description and Operation
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION (EVAP) CANISTER PURGE VALVE
Typical EVAP Canister Purge Valve
NOTE: The EVAP canister purge valve may also be referred to as a vapor management valve
(VMV).
The EVAP canister purge valve is part of the enhanced EVAP system that is controlled by the
PCM. This valve controls the flow of vapors (purging) from the EVAP canister to the intake manifold
during various engine operating modes. The EVAP canister purge valve is a normally closed valve.
The EVAP canister purge valve controls the flow of vapors by way of a solenoid, eliminating the
need for an electronic vacuum regulator and vacuum diaphragm. The PCM outputs a signal
between 0 mA and 1,000 mA to control the EVAP canister purge valve.

EGR Vacuum Regulator Solenoid Data
The EGR vacuum regulator solenoid is an electromagnetic device used to regulate the vacuum
supply to the EGR valve. The solenoid contains a coil which magnetically controls the position of a
disc to regulate the vacuum. As the duty cycle to the coil increases, the vacuum signal passed
through the solenoid to the EGR valve also increases. Vacuum not directed to the EGR valve is
vented through the solenoid vent to atmosphere. Note that at 0% duty cycle (no electrical signal
applied), the EGR vacuum regulator solenoid allows some vacuum to pass, but not enough to open
the EGR valve.

The orifice tube assembly is a section of tubing connecting the exhaust system to the intake

contains the metering orifice and 2 pressure pick-up tubes. The internal metering orifice creates a
measurable pressure drop across it as the EGR valve opens and closes. This pressure differential
across the orifice is picked up by the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor which provides
feedback to the PCM.

Electric Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EEGR) Valve
EEGR Motor/Valve Assembly
Depending on the application, the EEGR valve is a water cooled or an air cooled motor/valve
assembly. The motor is commanded to move in 52 discrete steps as it acts directly on the EEGR
valve. The position of the valve determines the rate of EGR. The built-in spring works to close the
valve (against the motor opening force).

> Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 3231
The ESM is an integrated differential pressure feedback EGR system that functions in the same
manner as a conventional differential pressure feedback EGR system. The various system
components have been integrated into a single component called the ESM. The flange of the valve
portion of the ESM bolts directly to the intake manifold with a metal gasket that forms the metering
orifice. This arrangement increases system reliability, response time, and system precision. By
relocating the EGR orifice from the exhaust to the intake side of the EGR valve, the downstream
pressure signal measures manifold absolute pressure (MAP). This MAP signal is used for EGR
correction and inferred barometric pressure (BARO) at key on. The system provides the powertrain
control module (PCM) with a differential pressure feedback EGR signal, identical to a traditional
differential pressure feedback EGR system.
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve
Typical EGR Valve
EGR Flowrate
The EGR valve in the differential pressure feedback EGR system is a conventional,
vacuum-actuated. The valve increases or decreases the flow of EGR. As vacuum applied to the
EGR valve diaphragm overcomes the spring force, the valve begins to open. As the vacuum signal
weakens, at 5.4 kPa (1.6 in-Hg) or less, the spring force closes the valve. The EGR valve is fully
open at about 15 kPa (4.5 in-Hg).
Since EGR flow requirement varies greatly, providing repair specifications on flow rate is
impractical. The on board diagnostic (OBD) system monitors the EGR valve function and triggers a
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) if the test criteria is not met. The EGR valve flow rate is not
measured directly as part of the diagnostic procedures.

Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor is a ceramic, capacitive-type pressure transducer
that monitors the differential pressure across a metering orifice located in the orifice tube assembly.
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor receives this signal through 2 hoses referred to as
the downstream pressure hose (REF SIGNAL) and upstream pressure hose (HI SIGNAL). The HI
and REF hose connections are marked on the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor housing
for identification (note that the HI signal uses a larger diameter hose). The differential pressure
feedback EGR sensor outputs a voltage proportional to the pressure drop across the metering
orifice and supplies it to the PCM as EGR flow rate feedback.

The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor receives this signal through 2 hoses referred to as
the downstream pressure hose (REF SIGNAL) and upstream pressure hose (HI SIGNAL). The HI
and REF hose connections are marked on the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor housing
for identification (note that the HI signal uses a larger diameter hose). The differential pressure
feedback EGR sensor outputs a voltage proportional to the pressure drop across the metering
orifice and supplies it to the PCM as EGR flow rate feedback.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR
The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
amount of torque requested by the operator. Depending on the application either a 2-track or
3-track APP sensor is used.
2-Track APP Sensor
2-Track APP Sensor
There are 2 pedal position signals in the sensor. Both signals, APP1 and APP2, have a positive
slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage), but are offset and increase at different rates. The 2
pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern.
The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating where it should be, inferred from the
other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits the other input is used. There are 2
reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 2 signal circuits (a total of 6 circuits and pins)
between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The reference voltage circuits and the signal
return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit and signal return circuit used by the
electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor. The pedal position signal is converted to
pedal travel degrees (rotary angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to
counts, which is the input to the torque based strategy.
3-Track APP Sensor
Typical 3-Track APP Sensor
There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APP1, has a negative slope (increasing
angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APP2 and APP3, both have a positive slope
(increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APP1 is used as the indication of
pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct
input even if 1 signal has a concern. The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating
where it should be, inferred from the other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits
the other inputs are used. The pedal position signal is converted to pedal travel degrees (rotary
angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to counts, which is the input to the
torque based strategy. There are 2 reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 3 signal
circuits (a total of 7 circuits and pins) between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The
reference voltage circuits and the signal return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit
and signal return circuit used by the electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Air Flow Meter/Sensor >
Component Information > Locations > Page 3295
Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

Fuel Injector: Description and Operation
FUEL INJECTORS
Typical Fuel Injector
CAUTION: Do not apply battery positive voltage (B+) directly to the fuel injector electrical connector
terminals. The solenoids may be damaged internally in a matter of seconds.
The fuel injector is a solenoid-operated valve that meters fuel flow to the engine. The fuel injector is
opened and closed a constant number of times per crankshaft revolution. The amount of fuel is
controlled by the length of time the fuel injector is held open.
The fuel injector is normally closed, and is operated by a 12-volt source from either the electronic
engine control (EEC) power relay or fuel pump relay. The ground signal is controlled by the PCM.
The injector is the deposit resistant injector (DRI) type and does not have to be cleaned. However,
it can be flow checked and, if found outside of specification, a new fuel injector should be installed.

Fuel Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
FUEL RAIL PRESSURE TEMPERATURE (FRPT) SENSOR
Typical Fuel Rail Pressure Temperature (FRPT) Sensor
The FRPT sensor measures the pressure and temperature of the fuel in the fuel rail and sends
these signals to the PCM. The sensor uses the intake manifold vacuum as a reference to
determine the pressure difference between the fuel rail and the intake manifold. The relationship
between fuel pressure and fuel temperature is used to determine the possible presence of fuel
vapor in the fuel rail.
The temperature sensing portion of the FRPT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance
changes with temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as the temperature
increases, and the resistance increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance
changes the voltage drop across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM
corresponding to temperature.
Both the pressure and temperature signals are used to control the speed of the fuel pump. The
speed of the fuel pump sustains fuel rail pressure which preserves fuel in its liquid state. The
dynamic range of the fuel injectors increase because of the higher rail pressure, which allows the
injector pulse width to decrease.

Fuel Pressure Pulsation Damper: Description and Operation
FUEL RAIL PULSE DAMPER
Typical Fuel Rail Pulse Damper
The fuel rail pulse damper is located on the fuel rail and reduces the fuel system noise caused by
the pulsing of the fuel injectors. The vacuum port located on the damper is connected to manifold
vacuum to avoid fuel spillage if the pulse damper diaphragm ruptures. The fuel rail pulse damper
should not be confused with a fuel pressure regulator; it does not regulate the fuel rail pressure.

Fuel Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
FUEL RAIL PRESSURE TEMPERATURE (FRPT) SENSOR
Typical Fuel Rail Pressure Temperature (FRPT) Sensor
The FRPT sensor measures the pressure and temperature of the fuel in the fuel rail and sends
these signals to the PCM. The sensor uses the intake manifold vacuum as a reference to
determine the pressure difference between the fuel rail and the intake manifold. The relationship
between fuel pressure and fuel temperature is used to determine the possible presence of fuel
vapor in the fuel rail.
The temperature sensing portion of the FRPT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance
changes with temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as the temperature
increases, and the resistance increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance
changes the voltage drop across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM
corresponding to temperature.
Both the pressure and temperature signals are used to control the speed of the fuel pump. The
speed of the fuel pump sustains fuel rail pressure which preserves fuel in its liquid state. The
dynamic range of the fuel injectors increase because of the higher rail pressure, which allows the
injector pulse width to decrease.

IDLE AIR CONTROL (IAC) VALVE
NOTE: The IAC valve assembly is not adjustable and cannot be cleaned, also some IAC valves are
normally open and others are normally closed. Some IAC valves require engine vacuum to
operate.
The IAC valve assembly controls the engine idle speed and provides a dashpot function. The IAC
valve assembly meters intake air around the throttle plate through a bypass within the IAC valve
assembly and throttle body. The PCM determines the desired idle speed or bypass air and signals
the IAC valve assembly through a specified duty cycle. The IAC valve responds by positioning the
IAC valve to control the amount of bypassed air. The PCM monitors engine RPM and increases or
decreases the IAC duty cycle in order to achieve the desired RPM.
The PCM uses the IAC valve assembly to control:
- no touch start
- cold engine fast idle for rapid warm-up
- idle (corrects for engine load)
- stumble or stalling on deceleration (provides a dashpot function)
- over-temperature idle boost

INERTIA FUEL SHUTOFF (IFS) SWITCH
Typical Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) Switch
The IFS switch is used in conjunction with the electric fuel pump. The purpose of the IFS switch is
to shutoff the fuel pump if a collision occurs. It consists of a steel ball held in place by a magnet.
When a sharp impact occurs, the ball breaks loose from the magnet, rolls up a conical ramp and
strikes a target plate which opens the electrical contacts of the switch and shuts off the electric fuel
pump. Once the switch is open, it must be manually reset before restarting the vehicle. Refer to the
Owner's Literature, Roadside Emergencies for the location of the IFS switch.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR
The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
amount of torque requested by the operator. Depending on the application either a 2-track or
3-track APP sensor is used.
2-Track APP Sensor
2-Track APP Sensor
There are 2 pedal position signals in the sensor. Both signals, APP1 and APP2, have a positive
slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage), but are offset and increase at different rates. The 2
pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern.
The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating where it should be, inferred from the
other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits the other input is used. There are 2
reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 2 signal circuits (a total of 6 circuits and pins)
between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The reference voltage circuits and the signal
return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit and signal return circuit used by the
electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor. The pedal position signal is converted to
pedal travel degrees (rotary angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to
counts, which is the input to the torque based strategy.
3-Track APP Sensor
Typical 3-Track APP Sensor
There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APP1, has a negative slope (increasing
angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APP2 and APP3, both have a positive slope
(increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APP1 is used as the indication of
pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct
input even if 1 signal has a concern. The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating
where it should be, inferred from the other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits
the other inputs are used. The pedal position signal is converted to pedal travel degrees (rotary
angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to counts, which is the input to the
torque based strategy. There are 2 reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 3 signal
circuits (a total of 7 circuits and pins) between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The
reference voltage circuits and the signal return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit
and signal return circuit used by the electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor.

Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

Fuel Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
FUEL RAIL PRESSURE TEMPERATURE (FRPT) SENSOR
Typical Fuel Rail Pressure Temperature (FRPT) Sensor
The FRPT sensor measures the pressure and temperature of the fuel in the fuel rail and sends
these signals to the PCM. The sensor uses the intake manifold vacuum as a reference to
determine the pressure difference between the fuel rail and the intake manifold. The relationship
between fuel pressure and fuel temperature is used to determine the possible presence of fuel
vapor in the fuel rail.
The temperature sensing portion of the FRPT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance
changes with temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as the temperature
increases, and the resistance increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance
changes the voltage drop across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM
corresponding to temperature.
Both the pressure and temperature signals are used to control the speed of the fuel pump. The
speed of the fuel pump sustains fuel rail pressure which preserves fuel in its liquid state. The
dynamic range of the fuel injectors increase because of the higher rail pressure, which allows the
injector pulse width to decrease.

INERTIA FUEL SHUTOFF (IFS) SWITCH
Typical Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) Switch
The IFS switch is used in conjunction with the electric fuel pump. The purpose of the IFS switch is
to shutoff the fuel pump if a collision occurs. It consists of a steel ball held in place by a magnet.
When a sharp impact occurs, the ball breaks loose from the magnet, rolls up a conical ramp and
strikes a target plate which opens the electrical contacts of the switch and shuts off the electric fuel
pump. Once the switch is open, it must be manually reset before restarting the vehicle. Refer to the
Owner's Literature, Roadside Emergencies for the location of the IFS switch.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) Throttle Position Sensor
The ETB throttle position sensor has 2 signal circuits in the sensor for redundancy. The redundant
ETB throttle position signals are required for increased monitoring. The first ETB throttle position
sensor signal (TP1) has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and the second
signal (TP2) has a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). The 2 ETB throttle position
sensor signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern. There is
1 reference voltage circuit and 1 signal return circuit for the sensor. The reference voltage circuit
and the signal return circuit is shared with the reference voltage circuits and signal return circuits
used by the APP sensor.
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
Typical TP Sensor
The TP sensor is a rotary potentiometer sensor that provides a signal to the PCM that is linearly
proportional to the throttle plate/shaft position. The sensor housing has a 3-blade electrical
connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases the corrosion resistance on the
terminals and increases the connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body.
As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, 4 operating conditions are determined by the PCM
from the TP. The operating conditions are: closed throttle (includes idle or deceleration)
- part throttle (includes cruise or moderate acceleration)
- wide open throttle (includes maximum acceleration or de-choke on crank)
- throttle angle rate

CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR
Typical Synchronizer Hall-Effect CMP Sensor
Typical Variable Reluctance CMP Sensor
The CMP sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor identifies when piston
number 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the PCM and used for synchronizing
the sequential firing of the fuel injectors. Coil on plug (COP) ignition applications use the CMP
signal to select the correct ignition coil to fire.
Vehicles with 2 CMP sensors are equipped with variable camshaft timing (VCT). They use the
second sensor to identify the position of the camshaft on bank 2 as an input to the PCM.
There are 2 types of CMP sensors: the 3-pin connector Hall-effect type sensor and the 2-pin
connector variable reluctance type sensor.

CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR
Typical Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The CKP sensor is a magnetic transducer mounted on the engine block adjacent to a pulse wheel
located on the crankshaft. By monitoring the crankshaft mounted pulse wheel, the CKP is the
primary sensor for ignition information to the PCM. The pulse wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced
10 degrees apart with one empty space for a missing tooth. The 6.8L 10-cylinder pulse wheel has
39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9 degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring
the pulse wheel, the CKP sensor signal indicates crankshaft position and speed information to the
PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP sensor is also able to identify piston travel in order
to synchronize the ignition system and provide a way of tracking the angular position of the
crankshaft relative to a fixed reference for the CKP sensor configuration. The PCM also uses the
CKP signal to determine if a misfire has occurred by measuring rapid decelerations between teeth.

Ignition Coil: Description and Operation
Coil On Plug (COP)
Typical Coil On Plug (COP)
The COP ignition operates similar to a standard coil pack ignition except each plug has one coil per
plug. The COP has 3 different modes of operation: engine crank, engine running, and CMP failure
mode effects management (FMEM).
Coil Pack
Typical Four-Tower Coil Pack
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Ignition Coil > Component Information > Diagrams
> Page 3563
Typical Six-Tower Coil Pack
The PCM provides a grounding switch for the coil primary circuit. When the switch is closed,
voltage is applied to the coil primary circuit. This creates a magnetic field around the primary coil.
The PCM opens the switch, causing the magnetic field to collapse, inducing the high voltage in the
secondary coil windings and firing the spark plug. The spark plugs are paired so that as one spark
plug fires on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next
time the coil is fired the order is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine
firing order.
Coil packs come in 4-tower, 6-tower horizontal and series 5 6-tower models. Two adjacent coil
towers share a common coil and are called a matched pair. For 6-tower coil pack (6 cylinder)
applications, the matched pairs are 1 and 5, 2 and 6, and 3 and 4. For 4-tower coil pack (4 cylinder)
applications, the matched pairs are 1 and 4, and 2 and 3.
When the coil is fired by the PCM, spark is delivered through the matched pair towers to their
respective spark plugs. The spark plugs are fired simultaneously and are paired so that as one fires
on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next time the coil
is fired, the situation is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine firing
order.

CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR
Typical Synchronizer Hall-Effect CMP Sensor
Typical Variable Reluctance CMP Sensor
The CMP sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor identifies when piston
number 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the PCM and used for synchronizing
the sequential firing of the fuel injectors. Coil on plug (COP) ignition applications use the CMP
signal to select the correct ignition coil to fire.
Vehicles with 2 CMP sensors are equipped with variable camshaft timing (VCT). They use the
second sensor to identify the position of the camshaft on bank 2 as an input to the PCM.
There are 2 types of CMP sensors: the 3-pin connector Hall-effect type sensor and the 2-pin
connector variable reluctance type sensor.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR
Typical Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The CKP sensor is a magnetic transducer mounted on the engine block adjacent to a pulse wheel
located on the crankshaft. By monitoring the crankshaft mounted pulse wheel, the CKP is the
primary sensor for ignition information to the PCM. The pulse wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced
10 degrees apart with one empty space for a missing tooth. The 6.8L 10-cylinder pulse wheel has
39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9 degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring
the pulse wheel, the CKP sensor signal indicates crankshaft position and speed information to the
PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP sensor is also able to identify piston travel in order
to synchronize the ignition system and provide a way of tracking the angular position of the
crankshaft relative to a fixed reference for the CKP sensor configuration. The PCM also uses the
CKP signal to determine if a misfire has occurred by measuring rapid decelerations between teeth.

F-Stripped Chassis, with 6.8L 3-V engine may experience difficulty with spark plug removal. This
may cause damage to the spark plug and leave part of the spark plug in the cylinder head. Affected
engine build dates are as follows: 5.4L 3-V and 6.8L 3-V before 10/9/07, 4.6L 3-V before 11/30/07.
ACTION Refer to the following Service Procedure for techniques to remove the spark plugs and
extract broken spark plugs.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
The engine build date can be read on the left hand cam cover information sticker.
To remove spark plugs without damage, it is necessary to adhere exactly to this procedure before
removal is attempted.
CAUTION
DO NOT REMOVE PLUGS WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM OR HOT. THE ENGINE MUST BE AT
ROOM TEMPERATURE WHEN PERFORMING SPARK PLUG SERVICE. REMOVING THE
SPARK PLUGS FROM A WARM/HOT ENGINE INCREASES THE CHANCE THE THREADS
COULD BE DAMAGED.
Spark Plug Removal Procedure
1. Remove the coil-on-plug assemblies and thoroughly blow out the spark plug wells and
surrounding valve cover area with compressed air.
2. Back out the spark plugs no more than 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn. Using Motorcraft(R) Carburetor
Tune-Up Cleaner, fill the spark plug well just above where the jamb nut hex sits (1/2 - 3/4
teaspoon). A minimum period of 15 minutes of soak time is required. The cleaner will wick down to
the ground electrode shield and soften the carbon deposits in this time. DO NOT WORK the spark
plug back and forth at this point.
NOTE
COMPLETELY REVIEW THE PRODUCT LABEL FOR THE MOTORCRAFT CARBURETOR
TUNE-UP CLEANER PRODUCT - USE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE AND SHAKE WELL.
CAUTION
EXCESSIVE MOTORCRAFT(R) CARBURETOR TUNE-UP CLEANER, OR REPEATING THE

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection
Spark Plug Inspection
1. Inspect the spark plug for a bridged gap.
^ Check for deposit build-up closing the gap between the electrodes. Deposits are caused by oil or
carbon fouling.
^ Install a new spark plug.
2. Check for oil fouling.
^ Check for wet, black deposits on the insulator shell bore electrodes, caused by excessive oil
entering the combustion chamber through worn rings and pistons, excessive valve-to-guide
clearance or worn or loose bearings.
^ Correct the oil leak concern.
^ Install a new spark plug.
3. Inspect for carbon fouling. Look for black, dry, fluffy carbon deposits on the insulator tips,
exposed shell surfaces and electrodes, caused by a
spark plug with an incorrect heat range, dirty air cleaner, too rich a fuel mixture or excessive idling.
^
Install new spark plugs.
4. Inspect for normal burning.
^ Check for light tan or gray deposits on the firing tip.
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Spark Plug > Component Information >
Specifications > Page 3643
5. Inspect for pre-ignition, identified by melted electrodes and a possibly damaged insulator.
Metallic deposits on the insulator indicate engine
damage. This may be caused by incorrect ignition timing, wrong type of fuel or the unauthorized
installation of a Heli-Coil(R) insert in place of the spark plug threads. ^
Install a new spark plug.
6. Inspect for overheating, identified by white or light gray spots and with a bluish-burnt appearance
of electrodes. This is caused by engine
overheating, wrong type of fuel, loose spark plugs, spark plugs with an incorrect heat range, low
fuel pump pressure or incorrect ignition timing. ^
Install a new spark plug.
7. Inspect for fused deposits, identified by melted or spotty deposits resembling bubbles or blisters.
These are caused by sudden acceleration.
^ Install new spark plugs.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3654
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Shift Solenoid: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Brake Switch - TCC: Description and Operation
BRAKE PEDAL POSITION (BPP) SWITCH
Typical BPP Switch
The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows:
- to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.
- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.
- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.

Throttle Position Sensor/Switch: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3824
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Transmission Speed Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3856
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Information and Instructions > Page 3912
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.

wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Brake Switch - TCC: Description and Operation
BRAKE PEDAL POSITION (BPP) SWITCH
Typical BPP Switch
The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows:
- to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.
- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.
- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.

Overdrive Switch: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4132
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Sensors and Switches - A/T
> Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4193
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns
The illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will create
intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a physical
evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

Brake Switch - TCC: Description and Operation
BRAKE PEDAL POSITION (BPP) SWITCH
Typical BPP Switch
The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows:
- to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.
- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.
- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.

Overdrive Switch: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Transmission Speed Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Shift Solenoid: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4359
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information
C904
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Throttle Position
Sensor/Switch, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4418
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information
C904
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Torque Converter: Description and Operation
Torque Converter
The torque converter transmits and multiplies torque. The torque converter is a 4-element device: ^
Impeller assembly
^ Turbine assembly
^ Reactor assembly
^ Clutch and damper assembly
The standard torque converter components operate as follows: ^
Rotation of the converter housing and impeller set the transmission fluid in motion.
^ The turbine reacts to the transmission fluid motion from the impeller, transferring rotation to the
geartrain through the input shaft.
^ The reactor redirects transmission fluid going back into the impeller, allowing for torque
multiplication.
^ The clutch and damper assembly dampens powertrain torsional vibration and provides a direct
mechanical connection for improved efficiency.
^ Power is transmitted from the torque converter to the planetary gearsets and other components
through the input shaft.

Torque Converter: Testing and Inspection Torque Converter Diagnosis
Torque Converter Diagnosis
Prior to installing new or remanufactured torque converters, all diagnostic procedures must be
followed. This is to prevent the unnecessary installation of new or remanufactured torque
converters. Only after a complete diagnostic evaluation can the decision be made to install a new
or remanufactured torque converter.
Begin with the normal diagnostic procedures as follows: 1. Preliminary inspection. 2. Know and
understand the customer's concern. 3. Verify the condition - carry out the torque converter
operation test. 4. Carry out diagnostic procedures.
^ Carry out on-board diagnostics. Repair all non-transmission related DTCs first.
- Repair all transmission DTCs.
- Rerun on-board diagnostic to verify repair.
^ Carry out Line Pressure Test. See: Transmission Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Special Testing Procedures
^ Carry out Stall Speed Test. See: Transmission Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Special Testing Procedures
^ Carry out Diagnostic Routines. Refer to Diagnosis By Symptom. See: Transmission Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/Symptoms Use the Diagnosis by Symptom 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 repair as required before changing the
torque converter.
Torque Converter Operation Test
This test verifies that the torque converter clutch control system and the torque converter are
operating correctly. 1. Carry out Quick Test with scan tool. Refer to Computers and Control
Systems. Check for DTCs. 2. Connect a tachometer to the engine. 3. Bring the engine to normal
operating temperature by driving the vehicle at highway speeds for approximately 15 minutes in (D)
position. 4. After normal operating temperature is reached, maintain a constant vehicle speed of
about 80 km/h (50 mph) and tap brake pedal with the left foot. 5. Engine rpm should increase when
brake pedal is tapped and decrease about 5 seconds after pedal is released. If this does not occur,
see torque
converter operation concerns. Refer to Diagnosis By Symptom. See: Transmission Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/Symptoms
6. If the vehicle stalls in (D) or MANUAL 2 at idle with vehicle at a stop, move the selector lever to
MANUAL 1 position. If the vehicle stalls, see
torque converter operation concerns. Refer to Diagnosis By Symptom. If the vehicle does not stall
in (D), refer to Diagnosis By Symptom. See: Transmission Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/Symptoms
7. If the vehicle exhibits a vibration during the road test, complete the Road Test Evaluation Form.
This form will aid the technician in determining
the source of the vibration.
NOTE: The following is a list of common vehicle concerns that have been misdiagnosed as torque
converter clutch shudder.
^ Spark plugs - check for cracks, high resistance or broken insulators.
^ Plug wires.
^ Fuel injector - filter may be plugged.
^ Fuel contamination - engine runs poor.
^ EGR valve - valve may let in too much exhaust gas and cause engine to run lean.
^ Vacuum leak - engine will not get correct air/fuel mixture.
^ Manifold absolute pressure (MAP)/mass air flow (MAF) sensor - incorrect air/fuel mixture.
^ Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) - too rich/lean air/fuel mixture.

Torque Converter: Testing and Inspection Torque Converter Contamination Inspection
Torque Converter Contamination Inspection
CAUTION: Do not use water-based cleaners or mineral spirits to clean or flush the torque converter
or transmission damage will occur. Use only clean transmission fluid designated for the
transmission and converter being serviced.
CAUTION: The torque converter drain plug and seal are not reusable. If equipped, discard the
drain plug and seal, then install a new drain plug assembly.
1. If a new or remanufactured torque converter is not being installed, the following steps must be
completed. 2. With the torque converter on a bench, pour a small amount of transmission fluid from
the torque converter onto an absorbent white tissue or
through a paper filter and examine the transmission fluid.
3. Observe the color and odor of the transmission fluid. The transmission fluid should be red, not
brown or black. Odor may indicate an overheating
condition such as clutch disc or band failure.
4. Examine the stain on the tissue for evidence of particles (spec of any kind). Examine the
transmission fluid level indicator for signs of antifreeze
(gum or varnish). If particles are present in the transmission fluid or there is evidence of engine
coolant or water, a new torque converter must be installed.
5. If there are no particles or contamination present, drain the remainder of the transmission fluid
from the torque converter. 6. Add 1.9L (2 qt) of clean transmission fluid into the converter and
agitate by hand. 7. Thoroughly drain the transmission fluid.

Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4459
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information
C904
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Transmission Cooler: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
Inspection and Verification
CAUTION: When internal wear/damage occurs in the transmission, metal particles, clutch plate
material and band material can travel into the torque converter, the transmission fluid cooler tubes,
the in-tank transmission fluid cooler and the auxiliary transmission fluid cooler, if so equipped.
These contaminants are a major cause of recurring transmission concerns. To prevent future
concerns, remove these contaminants from the cooling system before placing the transmission
back into use. Refer to transmission fluid cooler flow testing, backflushing and cleaning, torque
converter cleaning and inspection and flushing.
1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical damage, incorrect component installation and
system leaks. Repair as necessary.
^ Install a new or remanufactured radiator when transmission fluid is found leaking from the intank
transmission fluid cooler.
^ Install a new auxiliary transmission fluid cooler if there is leakage from the auxiliary transmission
fluid cooler.
2. If the fault is not visually evident, GO to Symptom Chart. See: Symptom Related Diagnostic
Procedures/Symptom Chart - Transmission Cooling

Transmission Fluid Cooler
Transmission Fluid Cooler
CAUTION: Whenever a transmission has been disassembled to install new parts, the transmission
fluid cooler tubes and the in-tank cooler if equipped must be cleaned and backflushed. Use a
suitable torque converter/fluid cooler cleaner.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with a oil-to-air (OTA) cooler, a new OTA must be installed.
NOTE: Cleaning and backflushing the transmission fluid cooling system along with following all the
normal cleaning and inspection procedures during disassembly and reassembly will keep
contamination from reentering the transmission and causing a repeat repair. When internal wear or
damage has occurred in the transmission, metal particles, clutch plate material or band material
may have been carried into the torque converter and transmission fluid cooler. These contaminants
are a major cause of recurring transmission troubles and must be removed from the system before
the transmission is put back into use.
Transmission Fluid Cooler Flow Test
NOTE: The transmission linkage/cable adjustment, transmission fluid level and line pressure must
be within specification before carrying out this test.
1. Remove transmission fluid level indicator from transmission fluid filler tube. 2. Place funnel in
transmission fluid filler tube. 3. Position the vehicle on a hoist. 4. Remove the cooler return tube
(top fitting) from the fitting on the transmission case. 5. Connect one end of a hose to the cooler
return tube and route the other end of the hose up to a point where it can be inserted into the
funnel at the
transmission fluid filler tube.
6. Remove the safety stands and lower the vehicle. Insert end of hose into the funnel. 7. Start the
engine and run it at idle with the transmission in NEUTRAL. 8. When transmission fluid flows from
the hose in a steady stream, a liberal amount of transmission fluid should be observed. "Liberal" is
about 1L
(1 qt) delivered in 15 seconds. If a liberal flow is observed, the test is complete.
9. If the flow is not liberal, stop the engine. Disconnect the hose from the cooler return tube and
connect it to the converter outlet fitting (bottom
fitting) on the transmission case.
10. Repeat Steps 6 and 7. If flow is now approximately 1L (1 qt) in 15 seconds, refer to
Transmission Fluid Cooler Backflushing and Cleaning. If the
flow is still not approximately 1L (1 qt) in 15 seconds, repair or install pump and or converter.
Water in Transmission Fluid
To correctly repair an automatic transmission or transaxle that has had water or coolant introduced
into the system, completely disassemble, clean and replace the following parts: ^
All internal and external seals
^ All friction material; clutches and bands
^ Torque converter
^ All parts with bonded seals
^ All solenoids
^ All transmission fluid filters
Prior to installing the transmission or transaxle, the transmission fluid cooler(s), transmission fluid
cooler tubes and transmission fluid cooler hoses need to be flushed and cleaned.
Transmission Fluid Cooler Leaks at Radiator
Transmission Fluid Cooler Leaks at Radiator
Transmission fluid may leak between the radiator transmission fluid cooler and the transmission
fluid cooler fitting (not the transmission fluid cooler tube into the transmission fluid cooler fitting),
which may result in a residue of transmission fluid on the radiator tank around the transmission
fluid cooler fitting. Insufficient thread sealer on the transmission fluid cooler fitting may cause this.

Transmission Fluid Cooler Backflushing and Cleaning
1. CAUTION: Do not use any supplemental transmission fluid additives or cleaning agents. The
use of these products could cause internal
transmission components to fail; this will effect the operation of the transmission.
Conduct backflushing with a suitable torque converter/fluid cooler cleaner. Test your equipment to
make sure that a vigorous fluid flow is present before proceeding. Install a new filter in the flush
equipment if flow is weak or contaminated.
2. If equipped, remove and discard the transmission fluid in-line filter.
3. Remove the transmission fluid cooler bypass valve and install rubber hoses in its place. 4. To aid
in attaching the cleaner to the transmission steel cooler tubes, connect 2 additional rubber hoses to
the transmission end of the steel
transmission cooler tubes. ^
Connect the cleaner tank pressure tubes to the steel transmission cooler return tubes (longest
tube).
^ Connect a tank return hose to the steel transmission cooler pressure tubes (shorter tube). Place
the outlet end of this hose in the tank reservoir.
5. Turn on the pump and allow the transmission fluid to circulate a minimum of 5 minutes (cycling
switch on and off will help dislodge contaminants
in cooler system).
6. Switch off the pump and disconnect the pressure hose from the transmission cooler return tube.
7. Use compressed air to blow out the cooler(s) and tubes (blow air into the transmission cooler
return tubes) until all fluid is removed. 8. Remove the rubber return hose from the remaining steel
cooler tube. 9. Remove the rubber hoses and reinstall the transmission fluid cooler bypass valve.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4495
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information
C904
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose

Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution

Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).

Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Sensor/Switch, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4580
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information
C904
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns
The illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will create
intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a physical
evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

ISSUE Some 2005-2010 vehicles equipped with a 4R70/75E-W transmission may experience an
un-commanded torque converter clutch (TCC) apply or TCC partial apply immediately after the 1-2
shift. This may result in the perception that the vehicle lacks power or that the transmission is
up-shifting too early. Additional symptoms of uncommanded TCC apply when coming to a stop
(before the 2-1 downshift is commanded), are engine stalling or lugging when engaging manual
2nd while at a stop and code P1742 may be present in continuous memory. However, the vehicle
should operate normally in park, reverse, neutral and manual 1st gear.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure for verification and repair.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Monitor (TCC %) solenoid command state - duty cycle and (TC SLIP ACT) torque converter
clutch slippage - RPM, while in 2nd, 3rd or 4th gear

Assembly
CAUTION: Before beginning assembly, carry out and inspect the following:
When building up subassemblies and assembling the transmission, ALWAYS use new gaskets and
seals.
All fasteners must be tightened to the torque specification indicated. In addition to appearing in the
section, the necessary torque measurements can be found in the General Specifications Chart.
When building up subassemblies, each component part should be lubricated with clean
transmission fluid. It is also good practice to lubricate the subassemblies as they are installed in the
case.
Needle bearings, thrust washers and seals should be lightly coated with clean transmission fluid
during subassembly buildup or transmission assembly.
Many components and surfaces in the transmission are precision machined. Careful handling
during disassembly, cleaning, inspection and assembly can prevent unnecessary damage to
machined surfaces.
NOTE: Inspect the shift solenoid O-rings and TCC solenoid O-rings for damage.

Universal Joints
U-joints have the following features: ^
Lubed-for-life design and require no lubrication
^ Equipped with nylon thrust washers (located at each base of the bearing cup) which control end
play, position the needle bearing and improve grease movement
^ Held in place by snap rings
The U-joints allow the speeding up and slowing down of the driveshafts as the angularity of the
driveshaft changes.

Operation
Power Take-Off: Description and Operation
POWER TAKE-OFF (PTO) SWITCH AND CIRCUITS
The PTO circuit is used by the PCM to disable some of the on board diagnostics (OBD) monitors
during PTO operation. The PTO switch is normally open. When the PTO unit is activated, the PTO
switch is closed and battery voltage is supplied to the PTO input circuit. This indicates to the PCM
that an additional load is being applied to the engine. The PTO indicator lamp illuminates when the
PTO system is functioning correctly and flashes when the PTO system is damaged.
When the PTO unit is activated, the PCM disables some OBD monitors, which may not function
reliably during PTO operation. Without the PTO circuit information to the PCM, false DTCs may be
set during PTO operation. Prior to an Inspection/Maintenance test, operate the vehicle with the
PTO disengaged long enough to successfully complete the OBD Monitors.
PTO Circuits Description
The 3 PTO input circuits are PTO mode, PTO engage, and PTO RPM.
The PTO engage circuit is used when the operator is requesting the PCM to check the needed
inputs required to initiate the PTO engagement.
The PTO RPM circuit is used for the operator to request additional engine RPM for PTO operation.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Brake Switch - TCC: Description and Operation
BRAKE PEDAL POSITION (BPP) SWITCH
Typical BPP Switch
The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows:
- to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.
- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.
- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.

Throttle Position Sensor/Switch: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Instructions > Page 4951
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Information and Instructions > Page 4994
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Transmission Speed Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Instructions > Page 5026
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5085
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Brake Switch - TCC: Description and Operation
BRAKE PEDAL POSITION (BPP) SWITCH
Typical BPP Switch
The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows:
- to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.
- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.
- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.

Throttle Position Sensor/Switch: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5212
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5255
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.
Power Distribution

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Diagnostic Aids
Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns
The illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will create
intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a physical
evaluation as shown in each illustration.

Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5310
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly

Brake Rotor/Disc: Description and Operation
Rear Disc Brake
The rear disc brake system consists of the following components: ^
Brake caliper anchor plate
^ Brake caliper
^ Brake disc
^ Brake disc shield
^ Brake flexible hose
^ Brake pads
When mechanical force is applied by the driver to the brake pedal, the force is converted into
hydraulic pressure by the master cylinder. The hydraulic force is directed to the disc brake calipers
and transferred to the brake pads. The brake pads are then forced against the brake friction
surfaces by the brake caliper pistons. The friction of the brake pads on the brake disc causes the
slowing or stopping of wheel rotation and the vehicle.

Brake Discs
NOTICE: Using an impact tool without a torque socket will lead to unevenly tightened wheel nuts.
This causes brake disc on-vehicle lateral runout and brake roughness.
1. Inspect the brake discs and measure the brake disc thickness. Record the measurement. Refer
to Specifications.
- If the brake disc is cracked or otherwise damaged, install a new brake disc.
- If the measurement is below the minimum thickness specification, install a new brake disc.
- If the diagnosis has revealed vibration in the steering wheel, seat or pedal while braking that
varies with vehicle speed, machine the brake disc. Heavily scored brake discs, similar to that
caused by pads worn down to the backing plate, should also be machined. In order to machine,
discs must be above the minimum thickness specification. For additional information, refer to
Specifications and Brake Disc Machining See: Service and Repair/Procedures.

NOTE: Do not use a bench lathe to machine the brake discs.
NOTE: Read the entire operating manual and/or view the video shipped with the lathe before
installing, operating or repairing the lathe.
NOTE: If the thickness of the brake disc is less than the minimum thickness to machine
specification, install a new brake disc. This will make sure that the brake disc will be above
minimum thickness after machining.
NOTE: Do not machine new brake discs.
NOTE: Lateral runout and disc thickness variation measurements are not required because correct
adjustment of the on-vehicle brake lathe will make sure that these dimensions are within
specifications.
1. NOTE: It is not necessary to disconnect the brake tube from the brake caliper.
Position the brake caliper and brake caliper anchor bracket aside.
2. For vehicles with a 2-piece brake disc and hub assembly, carry out the steps in the following
order.
1 Mark the brake disc and the wheel stud for correct indexing during re-assembly.
2 Remove the brake disc from the hub.
3 CAUTION: Do not use an abrasive sanding disc since it will remove paint or other protective
finishes from the wheel or metal from the mounting surfaces, adversely affecting corrosion
protection and brake disc lateral runout.
Remove corrosion from the wheel mounting surface, both disc mounting surfaces and hub
mounting surface.
4 Align the marks and install the brake disc on the hub.
3. Machine the brake disc using an on-vehicle brake lathe. Carry out the steps in the following
order.
1 Install the hub adapter and silencer belt if necessary.
2 Install the cutting lathe.
3 If the lathe is not self adjusting, adjust the lathe oscillation using a dial indicator. Total indicated
reading (TIR) target is 0.000 mm (0.000 inch), maximum is 0.08 mm (0.003 inch).
4 Center the cutting head, adjust the cutting bits and install the chip deflector.
5 NOTE: The depth of cut should be between 0.10 and 0.20 mm (0.004 and 0.008 inch). Lighter
cuts will cause the bit to heat up and wear faster. Heavier cuts will cause poor brake disc surface
finish.

out the steps in the following order:
1 Remove the brake disc from the hub.
2 Remove metal shavings from the hub, the brake disc mounting surfaces and from the ABS
sensors.
3 Apply anti-seize lubricant to the hub mounting surface to prevent corrosion.
4 Align the match marks and install the brake disc on the hub.

Brake Master Cylinder: Testing and Inspection Brake Master Cylinder - Compensator Port
Brake Master Cylinder - Compensator Port
The purpose of the compensator ports in the brake master cylinder is to: ^
supply additional brake fluid from the brake master cylinder reservoir needed by the brake system
due to brake lining wear.
^ allow brake fluid to return to the brake master cylinder reservoir when the brakes are released.
The returning brake fluid creates a slight turbulence in the brake master cylinder reservoir. This is a
normal condition and indicates that the compensator ports are not clogged.
Clogged compensator ports may cause the brakes to hang up or not fully release. If clogged
compensator ports are suspected, proceed as follows: 1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it
on a hoist. Refer to Maintenance/Service and Repair. 2. With the brakes released, attempt to rotate
each wheel and check for any brake drag.
^ If an excessive amount of brake drag exists at all 4 wheels, continue with the test.
^ If an excessive amount of brake drag exists at only one wheel, it indicates a possible seized
brake caliper, brake wheel cylinder or parking brake component. Repair or install new components
as necessary.
3. Check the brake stop lamp switch and the brake pedal free play to verify that the brake pedal is
not partially applied. 4. Loosen the brake master cylinder nuts and position the brake master
cylinder away from the brake booster. 5. With the brakes released, attempt to rotate each wheel
and check for any brake drag.
^ If the brake drag is no longer present, install a new brake booster.
^ If the brake drag is still present, install a new master cylinder.

Vacuum Brake Booster: Description and Operation
Brake Booster
The power brake actuation system consists of the following components: ^
Brake booster assembly
^ Brake booster vacuum fitting
The brake booster uses engine vacuum from the intake manifold to create a partial vacuum inside
the vacuum booster on both sides of the diaphragm. When the brake pedal is pressed, the booster
rod opens a valve, allowing air to enter the booster on one side of the diaphragm while sealing off
the opposite side. This increases pressure on that side of the diaphragm so that it helps push the
rod, which in turn pushes the piston in the master cylinder. As the brake pedal is released, the
valve seals off the outside air supply while opening the vacuum valve. This restores vacuum to
both sides of the diaphragm, allowing everything to return to its original position.

Vacuum Brake Booster: Testing and Inspection
Brake Booster
1. Disconnect the check valve from the brake booster. 2. Apply the parking brake, start the engine
and place the transmission in NEUTRAL. 3. Verify that manifold vacuum is available at the check
valve with the engine at idle speed and the transmission in NEUTRAL.
^ If manifold vacuum is available, stop the engine, connect the check valve and continue with Step
5.
^ If manifold vacuum is not available, continue with Step 4.
4. Disconnect the check valve from the vacuum hose and verify that manifold vacuum is available
at the hose with the engine at idle speed and the
transmission in NEUTRAL. ^
If manifold vacuum is available, stop the engine, install a new check valve and continue with Step
5.
^ If manifold vacuum is not available, stop the engine, connect the vacuum hose to the check valve
and diagnose the no vacuum condition.
5. Apply the brake pedal several times to exhaust all vacuum from the system. 6. Apply the brake
pedal and hold it in the applied position. Start the engine and verify that the brake pedal moves
downward after the engine starts.
^ If the brake pedal moves, the brake booster is operating correctly.
^ If the brake pedal does not move, install a new brake booster.
7. Operate the engine a minimum of 10 seconds at fast idle. Stop the engine, and let the vehicle
stand for 10 minutes. Then apply the brake pedal with
approximately 89 N (20 lb) of force. The brake pedal feel should be the same as that noted with the
engine operating. If the brake pedal feels hard (no power assist), install a new brake booster check
valve and retest. If the brake pedal feels spongy, bleed the hydraulic system to remove air. Refer to
Brake System Bleeding.

the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
valve; do not route it under the valve or damage to the hose may occur.
Disconnect the brake booster vacuum hose from the brake booster vacuum fitting.
3. Remove the 2 brake master cylinder nuts and position the master cylinder aside.
^ To install, tighten to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft).
4. CAUTION: Do not service the brake pedal or brake booster without first removing the stop lamp
switch and speed control deactivator
switch. These switches must be removed with the brake pedal in the at-rest position. Switch
plungers must be compressed for the switch to rotate in the bracket. Attempting to remove the
switch when the plunger is extended (during pedal apply) will result in damage to the switch.
Remove the speed control deactivator switch. For additional information, refer to Cruise Control.
5. Remove the redundant self-locking pin cover and the self-locking pin. 6. Position the stop lamp
switch, booster rod and bushing away from the brake pedal pin. 7. Remove the 4 brake booster
nuts.
^ To install, tighten to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft).
8. CAUTION: Do not press, pull or otherwise move the brake pedal while installing the stop lamp
switch or the speed control deactivator
switch. These switches must be installed with the booster push rod attached to the brake pedal and
with the brake pedal in the at-rest position. Installing these switches with the brake pedal in any
other position will result in incorrect adjustment and may damage the switches.
To install, reverse the removal procedure.

Diagram Information and Instructions
Alternator: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Charging System > Alternator > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5622
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.
Power Distribution

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information
C904
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5624
disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information

shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.

Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns
The illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will create
intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a physical
evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Fuse Block: Diagnostic Aids
Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns
The illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will create
intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a physical
evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.
Terminal not properly seated
1 = Locked terminal
2 = Male half
3 = Female half
4 = Seal
5 = Intermittent contact
6 = Unlocked terminal (Hidden by wire seal)
7 = Seal
Check for unlocked terminal by pulling each wire at the end of the connector.

chamber on the Rotunda 164-R5901 Pro-Crimper by matching the wire size on the dies with the
wire size
stamped on the butt splice.
NOTE: Rotunda 164-R5901 Pro-Crimper is the only tool that can be used with these splices.
6. Center one end of the wire splice in the appropriate crimping chamber. 7. If visible, be sure to
place the brazed seam toward the indenter. 8. Insert stripped wire into the barrel. 9. Holding the
wire in place, barrel squeeze tool handles appropriate ratchet releases.
10. Repeating steps 5-7, crimp the other half of the splice.
11. Check for acceptable crimp.
a. Crimp should be centered on each end of the butt splice b. Wire insulation does not enter butt
splice. c. Wire is visible through inspection hole of splices.
12. Evenly position supplied heat shrink tubing over wire repair. 13. Use shielded heat gun to heat
the repaired area until adhesive flows out of both ends of the heat shrink tubing. 14. Reconnect
battery ground cable.

Fuse: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 5898
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.
Power Distribution

Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 5899
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information
C904
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 5900
disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Fuse: Diagnostic Aids
Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns
The illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will create
intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a physical
evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

Fuse Block: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 5927
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.
Power Distribution

Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 5928
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information
C904
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

Information and Instructions > Page 5929
disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Fuse Block: Diagnostic Aids
Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns
The illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will create
intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a physical
evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

Alignment: Description and Operation
Wheel Alignment Angles
Camber
Negative and Positive Camber
Camber is the vertical tilt of the wheel when viewed from the front. Camber can be positive or
negative and has a direct effect on tire wear.
Caster
Caster is the deviation from vertical of an imaginary line drawn through the ball joints when viewed
from the side. The caster specifications in this section will give the vehicle the best directional
stability characteristics when loaded and driven.
The caster setting is not related to tire wear.
Toe
Positive Toe (Toe In)
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 6089
Negative Toe (Toe Out)
The vehicle toe setting affects tire wear and directional stability.
Incorrect Thrust Angle (Dogtracking)
Incorrect thrust angle (dogtracking) is the condition in which the rear axle is not square to the
chassis.
Heavily crowned roads can give the illusion of dogtracking.
Wander
Wander is the tendency of the vehicle to require frequent, random left and right steering wheel
corrections to maintain a straight path down a level road.
Shimmy
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 6090
Shimmy, as observed by the driver, is large, consistent, rotational oscillations of the steering wheel
resulting from large, side-to-side (lateral) tire/wheel movements.
Shimmy is usually experienced near 64 km/h (40 mph) and can begin or be amplified when the tire
contacts pot holes or irregularities in the road surface.
Nibble
Sometimes confused with shimmy, nibble is a condition resulting from tire interaction with various
road surfaces and observed by the driver as small rotational oscillations of the steering wheel. For
wheel and tire diagnosis, refer to Section 204-04.
Poor Returnability/Sticky Steering
Poor returnability and sticky steering is used to described the poor return of the steering wheel to
center after a turn or the steering correction is completed.
Drift/Pull
Pull is a tugging sensation, felt by the hands on the steering wheel, that must be overcome to keep
the vehicle going straight.
Drift describes what a vehicle with this condition does with hands off the steering wheel. ^
A vehicle-related drift/pull, on a flat road, will cause a consistent deviation from the straight-ahead
path and require constant steering input in the opposite direction to counteract the effect.
^ Drift/pull may be induced by conditions external to the vehicle (for example: wind, road crown).
Poor Groove Feel
Poor groove feel is characterized by little or no buildup of turning effort felt in the steering wheel as
the wheel is rocked slowly left and right within very small turns around center or straight-ahead
(under 20 degrees of steering wheel turn). Efforts may be said to be "flat on center." ^
Under 20 degrees of turn, most of the turning effort that builds up comes from the mesh of gear
teeth in the steering gear. In this range, the steering wheel is not yet turned enough to feel the
effort from the self-aligning forces at the road wheel or tire patch.
^ In the diagnosis of a roadability problem, it is important to understand the difference between
wander and poor groove feel.

Alignment: Service and Repair Camber and Caster Adjustment
Camber and Caster Adjustment
1. Using alignment equipment and the manufacturer's instruction, measure the caster and camber.
2. NOTE: New lower arm-to-frame mounting bolts must be installed with cam bolt kits to allow for
adjustment of the arm in the frame slot.
NOTE: The rear lower control arm-to-frame bolt must be reversed in order to install the alignment
kit to allow access for a torque wrench.
Remove the nuts and bolts from the LH and RH lower control arms at the frame attachments. ^
Discard the nuts and bolts.
^ Loosen the LH and RH stabilizer bar-to-frame bracket nuts. Support the stabilizer bar.
^ Install the cam bolt kit(s) and snug the nut(s).
3. To adjust the caster and camber, refer to the chart.
^ Adjustments that require moving the front and the rear of the lower arm should be made equally.
4. While holding the cam bolt, tighten the nut(s).
5. Recheck the caster and camber settings and adjust as necessary. 6. Check and, if necessary,
adjust the front toe. 7. Tighten the LH and RH stabilizer bar bracket nuts to 48 Nm (35 lb-ft).

NOTE: Make sure that the vehicle is positioned on a flat, level surface and the tires are inflated to
the correct pressure. Vehicle should have at least 1/2 tank of fuel.
1. Position a suitable surface gauge (such as Starrett 57D Surface Gauge) on a flat, level surface
and adjust the gauge's arm until the scriber point is
located in the center of the rearward lower arm bolt. ^
Lock the surface gauge in this position.
2. With the surface gauge positioned on a flat, level surface, record the measurement of the
surface gauge position (measurement A).

Power Steering Pressure Switch: Description and Operation
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor
Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor
The PSP sensor monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system. The PSP
sensor voltage input to the PCM changes as the hydraulic pressure changes. The PCM uses the
input signal from the PSP sensor to compensate for additional loads on the engine by adjusting the
idle RPM and preventing engine stall during parking maneuvers. Also, the PSP sensor signals the
PCM to adjust the transmission electronic pressure control (EPC) pressure during increased
engine load, for example, during parking maneuvers.
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
The PSP switch monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system. The PSP switch
is a normally closed switch that opens as the hydraulic pressure increases. The PCM provides a
low current voltage on the PSP circuit. When the PSP switch is closed, this voltage is pulled low
through the SIG RTN circuit. The PCM uses the input signal from the PSP switch to compensate
for additional loads on the engine by adjusting the idle RPM and preventing engine stall during
parking maneuvers. Also, the PSP switch signals the PCM to adjust the transmission electronic
pressure control (EPC) pressure during increased engine load, for example during parking
maneuvers.

Training
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training
NOTE: If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will go into a "sleep
mode" to conserve battery power. It will be necessary to wake them up so they will transmit the
latest tire pressure information to the vehicle security module (VSM). Refer to Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Activation. See: Wheels and Tires/Tire Monitoring
System/Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning
NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle, in an area
without radio frequency noise and at least 1 m (3 ft) away from other vehicles equipped with tire
pressure monitor system (TPMS). Radio frequency noise is generated by electrical motors and
appliance operation, cellular telephones, remote transmitters, power inverters and portable
entertainment equipment.
NOTE: If a sensor does not respond to the activation tool, attempt to activate the same sensor with
the activation tool. If the sensor still does not respond, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at
least 1/4 of a turn and attempt to activate the same sensor again.
NOTE: The VSM has a 2 minute time limit between sensor responses. If the VSM does not
recognize any 1 of the 4 tire pressure sensors during this time limit, the horn will sound twice and
the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT and the entire
procedure must be repeated.
NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure must be adjusted and the tire pressure sensors must be trained
following a tire rotation. Failure to train the sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate. For
vehicles with the same tire pressures for front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the system.
1. NOTE: Click here to view an animated version of this procedure.
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, then press and release the brake pedal.
2. Cycle the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN
position. 3. Press and release the brake pedal. 4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 5.
Turn the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN
position.
^ The horn will sound once and the TPMS indicator will flash if the training mode has been entered
successfully. If equipped, the message center will display TRAIN LF TIRE.
6. NOTE: It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this time, the
activation tool must remain in place 180 degrees from
the valve stem.
Place the activation tool on the LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the valve stem.
Press and release the test button on the special tool. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the
tire pressure sensor has been recognized by the VSM. Click here to view an animated version of
this procedure.

7. Within 2 minutes of the horn sounding, place the activation tool on the RF tire sidewall opposite
(180°) from the valve stem to train the RF tire
pressure sensor.
8. NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between training each sensor or the VSM will time out
and the entire procedure must be repeated.
Repeat Step 7 for the RR and LR tires. The procedure is completed after the last tire has been
trained. When the training procedure is complete, the message center (if equipped) will display
TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE.
For vehicles not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure
will be verified by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position without the horn sounding. If the
horn sounds twice when the switch is turned to the OFF position, the training procedure was not
successful.
9. Using the scan tool, locate the updated TPMS sensor IDs trained to the VSM and document
them on the applicable warranty claim.
10. NOTE: This step is required to clear DTC C2780, cause the VSM to exit the manufacturing
mode and to make sure there are no other concerns
with a newly programmed VSM.
If the sensors are being trained due to the installation of a new VSM, clear any DTCs and perform
the VSM on-demand self test.

Power Steering Pressure Switch: Description and Operation
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor
Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor
The PSP sensor monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system. The PSP
sensor voltage input to the PCM changes as the hydraulic pressure changes. The PCM uses the
input signal from the PSP sensor to compensate for additional loads on the engine by adjusting the
idle RPM and preventing engine stall during parking maneuvers. Also, the PSP sensor signals the
PCM to adjust the transmission electronic pressure control (EPC) pressure during increased
engine load, for example, during parking maneuvers.
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
The PSP switch monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system. The PSP switch
is a normally closed switch that opens as the hydraulic pressure increases. The PCM provides a
low current voltage on the PSP circuit. When the PSP switch is closed, this voltage is pulled low
through the SIG RTN circuit. The PCM uses the input signal from the PSP switch to compensate
for additional loads on the engine by adjusting the idle RPM and preventing engine stall during
parking maneuvers. Also, the PSP switch signals the PCM to adjust the transmission electronic
pressure control (EPC) pressure during increased engine load, for example during parking
maneuvers.

Depowering Procedure
WARNING:
- Always wear eye protection when servicing a vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction may result
in serious personal injury.
- Never probe the electrical connectors on air bag, safety canopy or side air curtain modules.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of these modules, which
increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
- To reduce the risk of accidental deployment, do not use any memory saver devices. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death.
NOTE:
- The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is
removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a
supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
1. Turn all vehicle accessories OFF. 2. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. 3. At the central junction
box (CJB), located below the RH side of the instrument panel, remove the trim panel, the cover and
the RCM fuse 19 (10A)
from the CJB.
4. Turn the ignition ON and visually monitor the air bag indicator for at least 30 seconds. The air
bag indicator will remain lit continuously (no
flashing) if the correct RCM fuse has been removed. If the air bag indicator does not remain lit
continuously, remove the correct RCM fuse before proceeding.
5. Turn the ignition OFF.
6. WARNING: Always deplete the backup power supply before repairing or installing any new front
or side air bag supplemental restraint
system (SRS) component and before servicing, removing, installing, adjusting or striking
components near the front or side impact sensors or the restraints control module (RCM). Nearby
components include doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and hood
latches.
Refer to the Description and Operation portion of Air Bag Systems for location of the RCM and
impact sensor(s).
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least
1 minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).

4. Prove out the SRS as follows:
Turn the ignition key from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the key back to ON and visually
monitor the air bag indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag indicator will light
continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS fault is present, the
air bag indicator will: fail to light.
- remain lit continuously.
- flash.
The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been
turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the
testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime will sound
in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag indicator and any SRS fault discovered
must be diagnosed and repaired.
Clear all continuous DTCs from the RCM using a scan tool.

Ball Joint Inspection
1. Prior to inspecting the ball joints for wear, inspect the wheel bearings.
2. NOTE: In order to obtain accurate measurements, the suspension must be in full rebound with
the weight of the vehicle supported by the frame.
Raise and support the vehicle by the frame to allow the wheels to hang in the rebound position.
3. Inspect the ball joint and ball joint boot for damage.
^ If the ball joint or ball joint boot is damaged, install a new ball joint as necessary.
NOTE: Carry out Steps 4-6 to inspect the lower ball joint. Carry out Steps 7-9 to inspect the upper
ball joint.
4. CAUTION: Do not use any tools or equipment to move the wheel and tire assembly or
suspension components while checking for relative
movement. Suspension damage can occur. The use of tools or equipment will also create relative
movement that may not exist when using hand force. Relative movement must be measured using
hand force only.
NOTE: The weight of the wheel and tire assembly must be overcome to obtain an accurate
measurement on the dial indicator.
Inspect the ball joint for relative movement by alternately pulling downward and pushing upward on
the wheel and tire assembly by hand. Note any relative vertical movement between the wheel
knuckle and lower arm at the lower ball joint. ^
If relative movement is not felt or seen, the ball joint is OK. Do not install a new ball joint.
^ If relative movement is found, continue with Step 5.
5. NOTE: In order to obtain an accurate measurement, the dial indicator should be aligned as close
as possible with the vertical axis (center line) of
the ball joint.
To measure ball joint deflection, attach a suitable dial indicator with a flexible arm between the
lower control arm and the wheel knuckle or ball joint stud.
6. Measure the ball joint deflection while an assistant pushes up and pulls down on the wheel and
tire assembly, by hand.
^ If the deflection exceeds the specification, a new ball joint must be installed.
^ If the deflection meets or is below the specification, continue with the procedure.
7. CAUTION: Do not use any tools or equipment to move the wheel and tire assembly or
suspension components while checking for relative
movement. Suspension damage can occur. The use of tools or equipment will also create relative
movement that may not exist when using hand force. Relative movement must be measured using
hand force only.

WARNING: Do not apply heat or flame to the shock absorber or strut tube. The shock absorber
and strut tube are gas pressurized and could explode if heated. Failure to follow this instruction
may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Keep all body parts clear of shock absorbers or strut rods. Shock absorbers or struts
can extend unassisted. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital
components and systems and their failure may result in major service expense. New parts must be
installed with the same part numbers or equivalent part, if replacement is necessary. Do not use a
replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used during
reassembly to make sure correct retention of these parts.

Training
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training
NOTE: If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will go into a "sleep
mode" to conserve battery power. It will be necessary to wake them up so they will transmit the
latest tire pressure information to the vehicle security module (VSM). Refer to Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Activation. See: Tire Monitoring System/Testing and
Inspection/Programming and Relearning
NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle, in an area
without radio frequency noise and at least 1 m (3 ft) away from other vehicles equipped with tire
pressure monitor system (TPMS). Radio frequency noise is generated by electrical motors and
appliance operation, cellular telephones, remote transmitters, power inverters and portable
entertainment equipment.
NOTE: If a sensor does not respond to the activation tool, attempt to activate the same sensor with
the activation tool. If the sensor still does not respond, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at
least 1/4 of a turn and attempt to activate the same sensor again.
NOTE: The VSM has a 2 minute time limit between sensor responses. If the VSM does not
recognize any 1 of the 4 tire pressure sensors during this time limit, the horn will sound twice and
the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT and the entire
procedure must be repeated.
NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure must be adjusted and the tire pressure sensors must be trained
following a tire rotation. Failure to train the sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate. For
vehicles with the same tire pressures for front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the system.
1. NOTE: Click here to view an animated version of this procedure.
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, then press and release the brake pedal.
2. Cycle the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN
position. 3. Press and release the brake pedal. 4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 5.
Turn the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN
position.
^ The horn will sound once and the TPMS indicator will flash if the training mode has been entered
successfully. If equipped, the message center will display TRAIN LF TIRE.
6. NOTE: It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this time, the
activation tool must remain in place 180 degrees from
the valve stem.
Place the activation tool on the LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the valve stem.
Press and release the test button on the special tool. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the
tire pressure sensor has been recognized by the VSM. Click here to view an animated version of
this procedure.

7. Within 2 minutes of the horn sounding, place the activation tool on the RF tire sidewall opposite
(180°) from the valve stem to train the RF tire
pressure sensor.
8. NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between training each sensor or the VSM will time out
and the entire procedure must be repeated.
Repeat Step 7 for the RR and LR tires. The procedure is completed after the last tire has been
trained. When the training procedure is complete, the message center (if equipped) will display
TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE.
For vehicles not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure
will be verified by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position without the horn sounding. If the
horn sounds twice when the switch is turned to the OFF position, the training procedure was not
successful.
9. Using the scan tool, locate the updated TPMS sensor IDs trained to the VSM and document
them on the applicable warranty claim.
10. NOTE: This step is required to clear DTC C2780, cause the VSM to exit the manufacturing
mode and to make sure there are no other concerns
with a newly programmed VSM.
If the sensors are being trained due to the installation of a new VSM, clear any DTCs and perform
the VSM on-demand self test.

Indicator Illuminates Continuously
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator Illuminates Continuously
NOTE: If the spare tire is in use, the damaged road tire must be repaired and installed on the
vehicle to restore complete TPMS functionality before carrying out any diagnosis.
NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the
sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate.
For vehicles with the same tire pressures for front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the
system.
1. The TPMS indicator remains on continuously for the following condition:
^ Low Tire Pressure - The TPMS indicator is illuminated solid and the message center displays
LOW TIRE PRESSURE (if equipped). This is displayed when any of the tire pressures are low.
When this condition exists, the tire pressure must be adjusted to the recommended cold pressure
as indicated on the vehicle certification label.
2. NOTE: The TPMS sensors do not transmit when the vehicle is stationary. If the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 30 minutes, it will be
necessary to wake up the sensors so they will transmit the latest tire pressure information to the
VSM.
If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, refer to the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) Sensor Activation procedure. See: Testing and Inspection/Monitors, Trips, Drive
Cycles and Readiness Codes

Training
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training
NOTE: If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will go into a "sleep
mode" to conserve battery power. It will be necessary to wake them up so they will transmit the
latest tire pressure information to the vehicle security module (VSM). Refer to Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Activation. See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and
Relearning
NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle, in an area
without radio frequency noise and at least 1 m (3 ft) away from other vehicles equipped with tire
pressure monitor system (TPMS). Radio frequency noise is generated by electrical motors and
appliance operation, cellular telephones, remote transmitters, power inverters and portable
entertainment equipment.
NOTE: If a sensor does not respond to the activation tool, attempt to activate the same sensor with
the activation tool. If the sensor still does not respond, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at
least 1/4 of a turn and attempt to activate the same sensor again.
NOTE: The VSM has a 2 minute time limit between sensor responses. If the VSM does not
recognize any 1 of the 4 tire pressure sensors during this time limit, the horn will sound twice and
the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT and the entire
procedure must be repeated.
NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure must be adjusted and the tire pressure sensors must be trained
following a tire rotation. Failure to train the sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate. For
vehicles with the same tire pressures for front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the system.
1. NOTE: Click here to view an animated version of this procedure.
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, then press and release the brake pedal.
2. Cycle the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN
position. 3. Press and release the brake pedal. 4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 5.
Turn the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN
position.
^ The horn will sound once and the TPMS indicator will flash if the training mode has been entered
successfully. If equipped, the message center will display TRAIN LF TIRE.
6. NOTE: It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this time, the
activation tool must remain in place 180 degrees from
the valve stem.
Place the activation tool on the LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the valve stem.
Press and release the test button on the special tool. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the
tire pressure sensor has been recognized by the VSM. Click here to view an animated version of

7. Within 2 minutes of the horn sounding, place the activation tool on the RF tire sidewall opposite
(180°) from the valve stem to train the RF tire
pressure sensor.
8. NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between training each sensor or the VSM will time out
and the entire procedure must be repeated.
Repeat Step 7 for the RR and LR tires. The procedure is completed after the last tire has been
trained. When the training procedure is complete, the message center (if equipped) will display
TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE.
For vehicles not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure
will be verified by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position without the horn sounding. If the
horn sounds twice when the switch is turned to the OFF position, the training procedure was not
successful.
9. Using the scan tool, locate the updated TPMS sensor IDs trained to the VSM and document
them on the applicable warranty claim.
10. NOTE: This step is required to clear DTC C2780, cause the VSM to exit the manufacturing
mode and to make sure there are no other concerns
with a newly programmed VSM.
If the sensors are being trained due to the installation of a new VSM, clear any DTCs and perform
the VSM on-demand self test.

Tire Rotation
Rotating your tires at the recommended interval (as indicated in the Scheduled Maintenance Guide
that comes with your vehicle) will help your tires wear more evenly, provided better tire
performance and longer tire life.
Sometimes irregular tire wear ran be corrected by rotating the tires.
Note: If your tires show uneven wear ask an authorized dealer to check for and correct any wheel
misalignment, tire imbalance or mechanical problem involved before tire rotation.
Note: Your vehicle may be equipped with a dissimilar spare tire/wheel. A dissimilar spare tire/wheel
is defined as a spare tire and/or wheel that is different in brand, site or appearance from the road
tires and wheels. If you have a dissimilar spare tire/wheel it is intended for temporary use only and
should not be used in a tire rotation.
Note: After having your tires rotated, inflation pressure must be checked and adjusted to the
vehicle requirements.
If the tire label shows different tire pressures for the front and rear tires and the vehicle is equipped
with TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system), Always perform the TPMS reset procedure after tire
rotation. If the system is not reset, it may not provide a low tire pressure warning when necessary.

accumulator, physical damage to the suction accumulator shell or desiccant, or moisture
contamination. Moisture contamination results only from a complete loss of refrigerant and
equalization of the refrigerant system pressure with atmospheric pressure for a period longer than
one hour. If even a slight amount of positive refrigerant pressure is present in the system before
repairs are carried out, the suction accumulator should not be replaced.
The suction accumulator is mounted at the RH rear of the engine compartment. The evaporator
outlet line attaches directly to the inlet of the suction accumulator and the compressor manifold and
tube assembly attaches to the suction accumulator outlet.
After entering the inlet of the suction accumulator, the heavier oil-laden refrigerant contacts an
internally mounted dome (which serves as an umbrella) and drips down onto the bottom of the
canister.
- A small diameter oil bleed hole, in the bottom of the vapor return tube, allows the accumulated
heavier liquid refrigerant and oil mixture to re-enter the compressor suction line at a controlled rate.
- As the heavier mixture passes through the small diameter liquid bleed hole, it has a second
chance to vaporize and recirculate through the A/C compressor without causing compressor
damage due to slugging.
- A fine mesh screened filter fits tightly around the bottom of the vapor return inlet to filter out
refrigerant system contaminant particles.
- A desiccant bag is mounted inside the canister to absorb any moisture which may be in the
refrigerant system.

SUCTION ACCUMULATOR
Removal and Installation
NOTE:
- Installation of a new suction accumulator is not required when repairing the A/C system, except
when there is physical evidence of contamination from a failed A/C compressor or damage to the
suction accumulator. Damage to the suction accumulator includes leaks in the suction accumulator,
physical damage to the suction accumulator shell or desiccant, or moisture contamination. Moisture
contamination results only from a complete loss of refrigerant and equalization of the refrigerant
system pressure with atmospheric pressure for a period longer than one hour. If even a slight
amount of positive refrigerant pressure is present in the system before repairs are carried out, the
suction accumulator should not be replaced.
- Care should be taken to minimize exposure of the suction accumulator desiccant to the
atmosphere. Do not remove the shipping caps from the new suction accumulator until immediately
before the line fittings are to be attached. Evacuation of the refrigerant system must be started as
soon as the new suction accumulator is installed.
1. Recover the refrigerant. 2. Remove the PCM. 3. Remove the battery and battery tray. 4. Remove
the PCM bracket.
1 Remove the 3 PCM bracket bolts.
2 Remove the PCM bracket.
- To install, tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).
5. Remove the suction accumulator outlet fitting nut and disconnect the fitting.
- Discard the O-ring seal.
- To install, tighten to 8 Nm (71 lb-in).

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6430
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.
Power Distribution

Information and Instructions > Page 6431
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information
C904
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

Information and Instructions > Page 6432
disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Blower Motor Resistor: Description and Operation
BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR
The blower motor resistor adjusts the blower motor speed based on the blower motor switch
setting. The blower motor resistor contains 3 resistor coils in series. The end of each resistor coil is
wired to a setting in the blower motor switch. Voltage from the blower motor relay is available at the
blower motor at all times when the blower selector is in an ON position, and then continues to the
blower motor resistor. The blower motor switch will allow a path to ground with the addition of 1, 2
or 3 coils in the blower motor resistor to the circuit. When the blower motor switch is in the MED HI
position, the blower motor switch will add a path to ground through one coil in the blower motor
resistor. When the blower motor switch is in the MED LO position, the blower motor switch will add
a path to ground through 2 coils (in series) in the blower motor resistor. When the blower motor
switch is in the LO position, the blower motor switch will add a path to ground through 3 coils (in
series) in the blower motor resistor. When the blower motor switch is in the HI position, the blower
motor resistor is bypassed.

AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) CLUTCH RELAY (A/CCR)
NOTE: The PCM PIDs WAC and wide open throttle air conditioning cutoff fault (WACF) are used to
monitor the A/CCR output.
The A/CCR is wired normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch
or electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) module and the A/C clutch. The PCM receives
a signal indicating that A/C is requested. For some applications, this message is sent through the
communications network. When A/C is requested, the PCM checks other A/C related inputs that
are available, such as A/C pressure switch and A/C cycling switch. If these inputs indicate A/C
operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (coolant temperature, engine RPM, throttle
position), the PCM grounds the A/CCR output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to
the A/CCR.

Control Assembly: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Control Assembly, HVAC > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6516
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly

SPRING LOCK COUPLING
Spring Lock Coupling
When disconnecting or connecting spring lock couplings, observe the following.
- When the coupling is connected together, 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.
- Three O-ring seals are used to seal between the 2 halves of the couplings.
- Use only the O-ring seals listed in the Ford Master Parts Catalog for the spring lock coupling.
- A plastic indicator ring is used to indicate, during vehicle assembly, that the coupling is
connected. Once the coupling is connected, the indicator ring is no longer necessary but will
remain captive by the coupling near the cage opening.
- The indicator ring may also be used during service operations to indicate connection of the
coupling.
- An A/C tube lock coupling clip may be used to secure the coupling but is not required.

EVAPORATOR CORE
NOTE: If an evaporator core leak is suspected, the evaporator core must be vacuum leak tested
before it is removed from the vehicle.
The evaporator core is a plate/fin type.
- A mixture of refrigerant and oil enters the bottom of the evaporator core through the evaporator
core inlet tube and then moves out of the evaporator core through the evaporator core outlet tube.
- Airflow from the blower motor passes through the evaporator core where it is cooled and
dehumidified before entering the passenger compartment.

Evaporator Core: Testing and Inspection
A/C EVAPORATOR/CONDENSER CORE - ON VEHICLE LEAK TEST
1. Recover the refrigerant. Refer to Air Conditioning (A/C) System Recovery, Evacuation and
Charging.
2. NOTE: DO NOT leak test an A/C evaporator core with the suction accumulator/drier attached to
the core tubes.
Disconnect the suspect A/C evaporator core or A/C condenser core from the A/C system.
3. Clean the spring lock couplings. Refer to Spring Lock Coupling. 4. Connect the appropriate test
fittings from the R-12/R-134a Air Conditioning Test Fitting Set to the evaporator or condenser tube
connections.
5. NOTE: The automatic shut-off valves on some gauge set hoses do not open when connected to
the test fittings. If available, use hoses without
shut-off valves. If hoses with shut-off valves are used, make 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 shut-off
valve does not open.
Connect the red and blue hoses from the R-134a Manifold Gauge Set to the test fittings on the A/C
evaporator core or A/C condenser core. Connect the yellow hose to a known good vacuum pump.
6. Open both gauge set valves and start the vacuum pump. Allow the vacuum pump to operate for
a minimum of 45 minutes after the gauge set low
pressure gauge indicates 101 kPa (30 in-Hg). The 45 minute evacuation is necessary to remove
any refrigerant from oil left in the A/C evaporator core or A/C condenser core. If the refrigerant is
not completely removed from the oil, outgassing will degrade the vacuum and appear as a
refrigerant leak.
7. If the low-pressure gauge reading will not drop to 101 kPa (30 in-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 installing a new A/C evaporator core or A/C condenser core.
8. After evacuating for 45 minutes, close the gauge set valves and stop the vacuum pump.
Observe the low pressure gauge; it should remain at the
101 kPa (30 in-Hg) mark. If the low-pressure gauge reading rises 34 or more kPa (10 or more in-Hg) of vacuum from the 101
kPa (30 in-Hg) 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 gauge valves open for an
additional 30 minutes to remove any remaining refrigerant from the oil in the A/C evaporator core or
A/C condenser core. Then recheck for loss of vacuum.
- If a very small leak is suspected, allow the system to set overnight with vacuum applied and
check for vacuum loss.
9. If the A/C evaporator core or A/C condenser core does leak, as verified by the above procedure,
install a new A/C evaporator core or A/C
condenser core.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation
AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE (ACET) SENSOR
A/C Evaporator Temperature (ACET) Sensor Voltage And Resistance
The ACET sensor measures the evaporator air discharge temperature. The ACET sensor is a
thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The electrical resistance of a
thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and the resistance increases as the
temperature decreases. The PCM sources a low current 5 volts on the ACET circuit. With SIG RTN
also connected to the ACET sensor, the varying resistance changes the voltage drop across the
sensor terminals. As A/C evaporator air temperature changes, the varying resistance of the ACET
sensor changes the voltage the PCM detects.
The ACET sensor is used to more accurately control A/C clutch cycling, improve defrost/demist
performance, and reduce A/C clutch cycling.
NOTE: These values can vary 15% due to sensor and VREF variations. Voltage values were
calculated for VREF equals 5.0 volts.

The A/C evaporator core orifice has the following characteristics:
- It is located in the condenser-to-evaporator line at the condenser fitting
- It has filter screens located on the inlet and outlet ends of the tube body
- The inlet filter screen acts as a strainer for the liquid refrigerant flowing through the evaporator
core orifice tube
- O-ring seals on the evaporator core orifice tube prevent the high-pressure liquid refrigerant from
bypassing the evaporator core orifice tube
- Adjustment or service cannot be carried out to the evaporator core orifice tube. A new evaporator
core orifice must be installed

Heater Core: Testing and Inspection
HEATER CORE
1. NOTE: Testing of returned heater cores reveals that a large percentage of heater cores were
good and did not require replacement. If a heater
core leak is suspected, the heater core must be tested by carrying out the plugged heater core
component test before the heater core pressure test. Carry out a system inspection by checking
the heater system thoroughly as follows:
Inspect for evidence of coolant leakage at the heater water hose to heater core attachments. A
coolant leak in the heater water hose could follow the heater core tube to the heater core and
appear as a leak in the heater core.
2. NOTE: Spring-type clamps are installed as original equipment. Installation and overtightening of
non-specification clamps can cause leakage at
the heater water hose connection and damage the heater core.
Check the integrity of the heater water hose clamps.
Heater Core - Plugged
1. Check to see that the engine coolant is at the correct level. 2. Start the engine and turn on the
heater. 3. When the engine coolant reaches operating temperature, feel the heater core inlet and
outlet hose to see if they are hot.
If the inlet hose is not hot: the thermostat is not working correctly.
If the outlet hose is not hot: the heater core may have an air pocket.
- the heater core may be restricted or plugged.
Heater Core - Pressure Test
Use the Radiator/Heater Core Pressure Tester to carry out the pressure test.
1. NOTE: Due to space limitations, a bench test may be necessary for pressure testing.
Clamp off the heater hoses.
2. Disconnect the heater water hoses from the heater core. 3. Install a short piece of heater water
hose, approximately 101 mm (4 in) long on each heater core tube. 4. Fill the heater core and
heater water hoses with water and install Plug BT-7422-B and Adapter BT-7422-A from the
Radiator/Heater Core
Pressure Tester in the heater water hose ends. Secure the heater water hoses, plug and adapter
with hose clamps.
5. Attach the pump and gauge assembly from the Radiator/Heater Core Pressure Tester to the
adapter. 6. Close the bleed valve at the base of the gauge. Pump 138 kPa (20 psi) of air pressure
into the heater core. 7. Observe the pressure gauge for a minimum of 3 minutes. 8. If the pressure
drops, check the heater water hose connections to the core tubes for leaks. If the heater water
hoses do not leak, remove the heater
core from the vehicle and carry out the bench test.
Heater Core - Bench Test
1. Remove the heater core from the vehicle. 2. Drain all of the coolant from the heater core. 3.
Connect the 101 mm (4 in) test heater water hoses with plug and adapter to the core tubes. Then
connect the Radiator/Heater Core Pressure Tester
to the adapter.
4. Apply 138 kPa (20 psi) of air pressure to the heater core. Submerge the heater core in water. 5.
If a leak is observed, install a new heater core.

A/C PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
NOTE: If the A/C compressor is operating within limits and the A/C pressure relief valve is venting,
or if the A/C pressure relief valve is leaking around the threads, replace the A/C pressure relief
valve and O-ring seal. If the A/C pressure relief valve still vents after it is replaced, diagnose the
refrigerant system for a restriction.
An A/C pressure relief valve is incorporated in the A/C compressor to prevent damage to the A/C
compressor and other system components by relieving unusually high system discharge pressure
buildups.
The A/C pressure relief valve is a separate component and can be replaced separately from the
A/C compressor. It is necessary to recover the refrigerant before removing the A/C pressure relief
valve.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation A/C Cycling Switch
A/C CYCLING SWITCH
The A/C cycling switch is mounted on a Schrader valve-type fitting on the suction accumulator.
- A valve depressor, located inside the threaded end of the A/C cycling switch, presses in on the
Schrader valve stem.
- This allows the suction pressure to control the operation of the A/C cycling switch.
- Battery voltage is present at one side of the A/C cycling switch at all times when the ignition
switch is in the RUN position.
- When the switch contacts are closed, the battery voltage circuit is completed to the PCM to signal
that the low-side refrigerant system pressure is acceptable for A/C compressor operation.
- When the switch contacts are open, the battery voltage circuit is opened to signal the PCM that
the low-side refrigerant system pressure is too low for A/C compressor operation.
- The A/C cycling switch will control the evaporator core pressure at a point where the plate/fin
surface temperature will be maintained slightly above freezing.
- This prevents icing of the evaporator core and blockage of airflow.
- It is not necessary to recover the refrigerant to remove the A/C cycling switch.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Air Conditioning (A/C) Cycling
Switch
Air Conditioning (A/C) Cycling Switch
The A/C cycling switch may be wired to either the ACCS or ACPSW PCM input. When the A/C
cycling switch opens, the PCM turns off the A/C clutch. For information on the specific function of
the A/C cycling switch, refer to Heating and Air Conditioning, Climate Control System Air
Conditioning System Overview. Also, refer to the applicable Vehicle/Diagrams for vehicle specific
wiring.
If the ACCS signal is not received by the PCM, the PCM circuit will not allow the A/C to operate.
Some applications do not have a dedicated (separate) input to the PCM indicating that A/C is
requested. This information is received by the PCM through the communication link.
Air Conditioning (A/C) High Pressure Switch
The A/C high pressure switch is used for additional A/C system pressure control. The A/C high
pressure switch is either dual function for multiple speed, relay controlled electric fan applications,
or single function for all others.
For refrigerant containment control, the normally closed high pressure contacts open at a
predetermined A/C pressure. This results in the A/C turning off, preventing the A/C pressure from
rising to a level that would open the A/C high pressure relief valve.
For fan control, the normally open medium pressure contacts close at a predetermined A/C
pressure. This grounds the ACPSW circuit input to the PCM. The PCM then turns on the high
speed fan to help reduce the pressure.
For additional information, refer to Heating and Air Conditioning, Climate Control System, Air
Conditioning System Overview or Vehicle/Diagrams.

Information > Description and Operation > A/C Cycling Switch > Page 6620
Typical ACP Transducer Sensor
The ACP transducer sensor is located in the high pressure (discharge) side of the A/C system. The
ACP transducer sensor provides a voltage signal to the PCM that is proportional to the A/C
pressure. The PCM uses this information for A/C clutch control, fan control and idle speed control.

Compressor Clutch Relay: Description and Operation
AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) CLUTCH RELAY (A/CCR)
NOTE: The PCM PIDs WAC and wide open throttle air conditioning cutoff fault (WACF) are used to
monitor the A/CCR output.
The A/CCR is wired normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch
or electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) module and the A/C clutch. The PCM receives
a signal indicating that A/C is requested. For some applications, this message is sent through the
communications network. When A/C is requested, the PCM checks other A/C related inputs that
are available, such as A/C pressure switch and A/C cycling switch. If these inputs indicate A/C
operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (coolant temperature, engine RPM, throttle
position), the PCM grounds the A/CCR output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to
the A/CCR.

thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The electrical resistance of a
thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and the resistance increases as the
temperature decreases. The PCM sources a low current 5 volts on the ACET circuit. With SIG RTN
also connected to the ACET sensor, the varying resistance changes the voltage drop across the
sensor terminals. As A/C evaporator air temperature changes, the varying resistance of the ACET
sensor changes the voltage the PCM detects.
The ACET sensor is used to more accurately control A/C clutch cycling, improve defrost/demist
performance, and reduce A/C clutch cycling.
NOTE: These values can vary 15% due to sensor and VREF variations. Voltage values were
calculated for VREF equals 5.0 volts.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation A/C Cycling Switch
A/C CYCLING SWITCH
The A/C cycling switch is mounted on a Schrader valve-type fitting on the suction accumulator.
- A valve depressor, located inside the threaded end of the A/C cycling switch, presses in on the
Schrader valve stem.
- This allows the suction pressure to control the operation of the A/C cycling switch.
- Battery voltage is present at one side of the A/C cycling switch at all times when the ignition
switch is in the RUN position.
- When the switch contacts are closed, the battery voltage circuit is completed to the PCM to signal
that the low-side refrigerant system pressure is acceptable for A/C compressor operation.
- When the switch contacts are open, the battery voltage circuit is opened to signal the PCM that
the low-side refrigerant system pressure is too low for A/C compressor operation.
- The A/C cycling switch will control the evaporator core pressure at a point where the plate/fin
surface temperature will be maintained slightly above freezing.
- This prevents icing of the evaporator core and blockage of airflow.
- It is not necessary to recover the refrigerant to remove the A/C cycling switch.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Air Conditioning (A/C) Cycling
Switch
Air Conditioning (A/C) Cycling Switch
The A/C cycling switch may be wired to either the ACCS or ACPSW PCM input. When the A/C
cycling switch opens, the PCM turns off the A/C clutch. For information on the specific function of
the A/C cycling switch, refer to Heating and Air Conditioning, Climate Control System Air
Conditioning System Overview. Also, refer to the applicable Vehicle/Diagrams for vehicle specific
wiring.
If the ACCS signal is not received by the PCM, the PCM circuit will not allow the A/C to operate.
Some applications do not have a dedicated (separate) input to the PCM indicating that A/C is
requested. This information is received by the PCM through the communication link.
Air Conditioning (A/C) High Pressure Switch
The A/C high pressure switch is used for additional A/C system pressure control. The A/C high
pressure switch is either dual function for multiple speed, relay controlled electric fan applications,
or single function for all others.
For refrigerant containment control, the normally closed high pressure contacts open at a
predetermined A/C pressure. This results in the A/C turning off, preventing the A/C pressure from
rising to a level that would open the A/C high pressure relief valve.
For fan control, the normally open medium pressure contacts close at a predetermined A/C
pressure. This grounds the ACPSW circuit input to the PCM. The PCM then turns on the high
speed fan to help reduce the pressure.
For additional information, refer to Heating and Air Conditioning, Climate Control System, Air
Conditioning System Overview or Vehicle/Diagrams.

Typical ACP Transducer Sensor
The ACP transducer sensor is located in the high pressure (discharge) side of the A/C system. The
ACP transducer sensor provides a voltage signal to the PCM that is proportional to the A/C
pressure. The PCM uses this information for A/C clutch control, fan control and idle speed control.

SERVICE GAUGE PORT VALVES
The high-pressure service gauge port valve is located on the compressor-to-condenser discharge
line.
The low-pressure service gauge port valve is located on the suction accumulator-to-compressor
line.
The fitting is an integral part of the refrigeration line or component.
- Special couplings are required for both the high-side and low-side service gauge ports.
- A very small amount of leakage will always be detectable around the Schrader-type valve with the
service gauge port valve cap removed and is considered normal. A new Schrader-type valve core
can be installed if the seal leaks excessively.
- The service gauge port valve caps are used as primary seals in the refrigerant system to prevent
leakage through the Schrader-type valves from reaching the atmosphere. Always install and tighten
the A/C service gauge port valve caps to the correct torque after they are removed.

WARNING:
- If a vehicle has been in a crash, inspect the restraints control module (RCM) and the impact
sensor (if equipped) mounting areas for deformation. If damaged, restore the mounting areas to the
original production configuration. A new RCM and sensors must be installed whether or not the air
bags have deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or
death in a crash.
- Always tighten the fasteners of the restraints control module (RCM) and impact sensor (if
equipped) to the specified torque. Failure to do so may result in incorrect restraint system
operation, which increases the risk of personal injury or death in a crash.
CAUTION: Electronic modules are sensitive to static electrical charges. If exposed to these
charges, damage can result.
NOTE:
- When installing a new restraints control module (RCM), always make sure the correct RCM is
being installed. If an incorrect RCM is installed, erroneous DTCs will result.
- The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is
ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
- Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install
the original part and carry out the diagnostic procedure again.

Seat Belt Buckle: Description and Operation Safety Belt Buckle and Pretensioner
SAFETY BELT BUCKLE AND PRETENSIONER
The safety belt buckle and pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device that removes excess webbing from
the safety belt when deployed. The pretensioner works in conjunction with the front air bag system.
When the pretensioners deploy, this causes the buckle to move downward, removing excess
webbing from the lap and shoulder safety belts.
If the vehicle is involved in a collision that results in deployment of the safety belt pretensioners, a
new driver and passenger seat belt system (including safety belt buckle and pretensioners, safety
belt retractors and height adjusters) must be installed.
For safety belt buckle pretensioner diagnostic information, refer to Air Bag Systems.
For safety belt buckle pretensioner disposal information, refer to Air Bag Systems.

SAFETY BELT BUCKLE AND PRETENSIONERS
As part of the supplemental restraint system (SRS), the driver and passenger front seat safety belt
buckles are equipped with pretensioners. The safety belt buckle and pretensioners are attached to
the seat tracks. The safety belt buckle and pretensioners remove excess slack from the safety belt
webbing and are activated by the restraints control module (RCM) when the module detects a
collision event force exceeding a programmed limit. For information or if a deployment has
occurred, refer to the appropriate procedure in Air Bag Systems.

Seat Belt Buckle: Testing and Inspection
FUNCTIONAL TEST - BUCKLE AND TONGUE
The safety belt buckle and tongue assembly must operate freely during the latching and unlatching
function. Fasten the safety belt by inserting the tongue (male portion) into the buckle (female
portion).
1. Verify the following during the latching sequence:
- Tongue insertion is not hindered by excessive effort
- A "click" is heard when the buckle latches the tongue
2. Verify the system integrity by forcefully pulling on the belt webbing. 3. Unlatch the belt by fully
depressing the buckle release button, and allowing the belt to release and retract. 4. Verify the
following during the unlatching process:
- Push-button depression does not require excessive effort
- Tongue can be removed easily from the buckle
- Repeat the above steps 3 times
5. If the inspection reveals an obvious concern(s) that can be readily identified, service as required.
Do not attempt to carry out any repair on the
buckle and tongue assembly. If a concern exists with either component, a new safety belt buckle
and safety belt retractor assembly must be installed.

DUAL LOCKING MODE RETRACTORS
NOTE: When installing a new dual locking mode retractor, the retractor should be checked to make
sure it is not in the automatic locking retractor (ALR) mode after installation in the stowed position.
All continuous-loop, 3-point retractor systems (except the driver position) are equipped with the
dual locking mode system.
The emergency locking retractor (ELR) mode will allow the occupant freedom of movement, locking
tight only on hard braking, hard cornering or an impact of approximately 8 km/h (5 mph). The ELR
mode helps to reduce the forward movement of the driver and passengers. The ELR mode is
continuously in operation at all seating positions.
The ALR portion of this system does not allow the occupant freedom of movement. The ALR mode
is used when locking a child seat in a seating position or when a tight belt fit is desired. The ALR
mode is disengaged when the webbing is free to move in or out of the retractor. The ALR mode is
automatically engaged when the webbing is fully extracted from the retractor and then allowed to
retract. As the webbing is retracted back onto the spool an audible clicking sound is made
indicating that the retractor is in ALR mode. The ALR mode is automatically disengaged when most
of the webbing is retracted back onto the spool.
The automatic locking mode must be used when installing a child safety seat in the front or rear
passenger seating positions, where dual locking mode retractors are provided.

Seat Belt Tensioner: Description and Operation Safety Belt Buckle and Pretensioner
SAFETY BELT BUCKLE AND PRETENSIONER
The safety belt buckle and pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device that removes excess webbing from
the safety belt when deployed. The pretensioner works in conjunction with the front air bag system.
When the pretensioners deploy, this causes the buckle to move downward, removing excess
webbing from the lap and shoulder safety belts.
If the vehicle is involved in a collision that results in deployment of the safety belt pretensioners, a
new driver and passenger seat belt system (including safety belt buckle and pretensioners, safety
belt retractors and height adjusters) must be installed.
For safety belt buckle pretensioner diagnostic information, refer to Air Bag Systems.
For safety belt buckle pretensioner disposal information, refer to Air Bag Systems.

SAFETY BELT BUCKLE AND PRETENSIONERS
As part of the supplemental restraint system (SRS), the driver and passenger front seat safety belt
buckles are equipped with pretensioners. The safety belt buckle and pretensioners are attached to
the seat tracks. The safety belt buckle and pretensioners remove excess slack from the safety belt
webbing and are activated by the restraints control module (RCM) when the module detects a
collision event force exceeding a programmed limit. For information or if a deployment has
occurred, refer to the appropriate procedure in Air Bag Systems.

IMPACT SENSORS
WARNING: If a vehicle has been in a crash, inspect the restraints control module (RCM) and the
impact sensor (if equipped) mounting areas for deformation. If damaged, restore the mounting
areas to the original production configuration. A new RCM and sensors must be installed whether
or not the air bags have deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious
personal injury or death in a crash.
For this vehicle line, the SRS uses one satellite sensor in addition to the RCM. The RCM is
mounted to the center tunnel beneath the 20 percent seat or floor console (if equipped). All
vehicles have one front impact severity sensor located in the front-center area of the vehicle,
behind the grille mounted on the lower radiator support. Mounting orientation is critical for correct
operation of all impact sensors.

Seat Occupant Sensor: Description and Operation
OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SENSOR (OCS)
WARNING: Make sure the front passenger seat repair is complete, the seat and all attached
components (head restraint, seat side shield, etc.) are correctly assembled, and the seat is
correctly installed to the vehicle before carrying out the System Reset. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in incorrect operation of the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system
and increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
CAUTION: It is necessary to carry out the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system reset when
a front passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new trim cover is installed or an OCS system
service kit is installed. A scan tool is used to carry out the OCS system reset command. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in system failure and the incorrect operation of the OCS system.
NOTE:
- Occupant classification sensor (OCS) system components (set wiring harness, seat cushion
frame, seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and occupant classification system
module [OCSM]) are calibrated to each other and are serviced as an assembly. The OCS system
components are not to be installed separately. If a new OCS system, OCS system component or
seat cushion foam pad are needed, an OCS system service kit (seat cushion frame, seat cushion
foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor, seat wiring harness and OCSM) must be installed as an
assembly.
- To identify between a production OCS system and an OCS system service kit, inspect the OCSM
electrical connector.
A production OCS system allows the disconnection of the OCSM electrical connector.
An OCS system service kit has the electrical connector glued to the OCSM, it cannot and should
not be disconnected or altered.
The OCS system is standard equipment on all front outboard passenger seats. For information on
diagnosing or servicing the OCS system, refer to Air Bag Systems.

Install the rear seat backrest.
5. NOTE: When successful, this step provides the calibration necessary for the VSM operation and
clears DTC B2477. The clearing of the DTC
indicates the calibration data has been successfully downloaded to the VSM.
Download the VSM configuration information from the scan tool to the VSM.
6. NOTE: When successful, this step clears DTCs B2868, B2869, B2870 and B2871. The clearing
of these DTCs indicates the VSM has
recognized the tire pressure sensors during the training procedure.
Train the tire pressure sensors.
7. NOTE:
- DTC C2780 will not clear if any other DTCs are present in the VSM.
- This step is required to clear DTC C2780, allow the VSM to exit the manufacturing mode, and to
make sure there are no other concerns with the newly programmed VSM.
Carry out the VSM on-demand self-test by clearing the DTCs and then retrieving the DTCs to
confirm all DTCs have been cleared.

Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Description and Operation
INFORMATION AND MESSAGE CENTER
Message Center
The message center is a fixed format display that is controlled by the message center switches.
The message center is located in the lower RH corner of the instrument cluster and displays
important vehicle information by constantly monitoring different vehicle systems. The message
center may display a warning message pertaining to the system in which a fault has been detected.
The message center provides the following features: Information menu
- Setup menu
- Warning messages
The message center information can be selected through a set of 3 buttons: INFO
- RESET
- SETUP
The setup display time-outs and defaults to the blank display function. The temporary alert display
interrupts the current display to show the status of an event that has just happened. The warning
display interrupts the current display until cleared or reset by the driver.
Compass Display
The message center provides a compass display and uses directional information sent from the
compass module. The compass module is mounted to the underside of the interior rear view mirror
or integrated into the mirror if equipped with a auto-dimming mirror or a rear video camera display
mirror.
Information Displays
The information displays are non-timed modes. The selected mode remains on until the driver
presses a message center button to change the mode, or it is overridden by another mode. The
information display modes are: Odometer
- Trip odometer

Diagnostic Procedures
Principles of Operation
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The message center is an integral part of the instrument cluster (IC) that receives and acts upon
much of the same information that is input and used to operate the instrument cluster (IC) gauges,
informational indicators, and warning indicators. The message center, located in the instrument
cluster (IC) is a vacuum fluorescent 2-line display. The message center electronic functions use
both hardwired and the network communication circuitry to transmit and receive information.
Whenever conditions are present that require a warning message, the message center replaces
the last selected display with the new warning display. Warning messages are generally associated
with other observable instrument cluster (IC) indications. For example, when a door is opened, the
message center displays the message DOOR AJAR along with the door ajar warning indicator.
This allows the message center to be a more informative supplement to the instrument cluster (IC)
gauges and indicators.
It is very important to understand:
- where the input (command) originates.
- all the information (messages) necessary in order for a feature to operate.

- which module(s) receive(s) the input or command message.
- if the module that received the input (message) controls the output of the feature, or if it outputs a
message over the CAN to another module.
- which module controls the output of the feature.

PINPOINT TEST A: THE MESSAGE CENTER IS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY
Normal Operation
The message center display is integrated into the lower RH corner of the instrument cluster (IC).
The instrument cluster (IC) odometer, trip odometer, compass, outside air temperature and
message center displays are contained in the same window. The message center switch is
hardwired to the instrument cluster (IC) through circuits 1411 (GY/OG) and 1396 (VT/WH). The
message center switches use a different resistance value for each switch, allowing the instrument
cluster (IC) to determine which switch is pressed.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Instrument cluster (IC)
- Message center switch
A1-A3
Test B: The Message Center Switch Does Not Operate Correctly
PINPOINT TEST B: THE MESSAGE CENTER SWITCH DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
Normal Operation
The message center functionality is controlled through the message center switch, which is
hardwired to the instrument cluster (IC) through the input circuit 1411 (GY/OG) and the return
circuit 1396 (VT/WH). There are 3 message center switch buttons with each button operating a
switch that uses different resistance values. The instrument cluster (IC) sends out a reference
voltage to the message center switch on the input circuit and monitors the voltage drop when a
message center switch button is pressed. The voltage drop will vary depending upon the resistance
of each button, providing a specific indication to the instrument cluster (IC) which switch is pressed.
- DTC B1209 (EIC Switch-2 Assembly Circuit Failure) - sets on-demand in the instrument cluster
(IC) if any of the buttons on the message center are stuck or pressed during the self-test.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

Test D: The Compass Is Inaccurate
PINPOINT TEST D: THE COMPASS IS INACCURATE
Normal Operation
The compass module (without auto-dimming interior rear view mirror) or interior rear view mirror
(with auto-dimming interior rear view mirror) communicates vehicle direction to the instrument
cluster (IC) to be displayed in the message center through circuits 702 (WH/BK) and 703 (WH/OG).
The magnetic fields generated by the earths north and south poles are divided into zones that differ
from each other with respect to how the magnetic fields appear.
The magnetic north can change by up to 4 degrees between zones and become noticeable across
multiple zones. The compass zone must be set to the correct zone for the compass to read
accurately. Factors within the vehicle may affect the ability of the compass module to accurately
read the magnetic north. Calibrating the compass allows the compass module to compensate for
vehicle factors that influence the accuracy of the compass.
NOTE: Outside factors such as bridges, steel structures, tall buildings and power lines also affect
compass accuracy.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Compass zone setting
- Compass calibration

Test F: The Check Fuel Cap Message Is Inoperative/Always Displayed
PINPOINT TEST F: THE CHECK FUEL CAP MESSAGE IS INOPERATIVE/ALWAYS DISPLAYED
Normal Operation
The PCM monitors the fuel tank evaporative emission system for significant leaks that occur
following refueling of the vehicle. Once the PCM detects a fuel vapor leak, the PCM sends the
instrument cluster (IC) a network message over the communication network to turn on the check
fuel cap warning message display. DTC P0457 sets in the PCM following a successful cruise test,
which is initiated when the vehicle is driven at a steady speed above 64 km/h (40 mph) for a
duration of approximately 4-5 minutes. If the PCM is unable to successfully run the cruise test, the
instrument cluster (IC) does not receive the check fuel cap network message and the check fuel
cap message display remains off.
- DTC P0457 (Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected) (fuel cap loose/off) - sets in the PCM
if a fuel tank pressure change greater than -23.7 kPa (-7 in-Hg) of vacuum within 30 seconds after
refueling occurs, or there is an excessive purge (fuel vapor) flow of greater than 454 g (1.0 lb) per

Garage Door Opener Transmitter: Programming and Relearning
UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING
NOTE: A new battery in the hand-held transmitter may allow quicker and easier training due to a
more accurate transmission of the radio frequency signal.
1. Verify the hand-held transmitter is operative. 2. Turn the key to the ON position. 3. Prepare for
programming the universal transmitter by erasing all 3 channels by holding down the 2 outside
buttons until the red light begins to
flash (20-30 seconds). Release both buttons.
4. Select 1 of the 3 universal transmitter buttons to be used for programming. 5. Hold the end of the
hand-held transmitter 25-76 mm (1-3 in) away from the front surface of the universal transmitter so
that the universal
transmitter red light can still be seen.
6. NOTE: During programming, the hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting after
2 seconds, which may not be long enough to
program the universal transmitter. If programming with this type of hand-held transmitter, continue
to hold the button on the universal transmitter while pressing and releasing the hand-held
transmitter button every 2 seconds.
At the same time, press the hand-held transmitter button and the desired button on the universal
transmitter until the red light on the universal transmitter flashes first slowly, and then rapidly.
Release both buttons when the rapid flashing begins.
7. Firmly press and hold for 5 seconds, then release the just-trained universal transmitter button up
to 2 separate times to activate the door. If after 2
separate times, the door still does not activate, press and hold the just-trained universal transmitter
button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the device should activate
when the universal transmitter button is pressed and released.
- If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns to a constant light, follow the
Training a Garage Door Opener Equipped With "Rolling Codes" procedure to complete the
programming of a rolling code equipped device.
Training a Garage Door Opener Equipped With "Rolling Codes"
1. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the "learn" or "smart"
button. This can usually be found where the
hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.
2. Firmly press and release the "learn" or "smart" button. (The name and color of the button may
vary by manufacturer.) There are 30 seconds to

Navigation System: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Navigation System > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7159
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.
Power Distribution

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information
C904
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7161
disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns
The illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will create
intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a physical
evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

CAUTION: Electronic modules are sensitive to static electrical charges. If exposed to these
charges, damage to the module may result.
NOTE:
- Prior to the removal of the module, it is necessary to upload the module configuration information
to a scan tool. This information must be downloaded into the new vehicle security module (VSM)
after installation. to carry out programmable module installation (PMI).
- For the VSM to accept the PMI procedure, the following conditions must be met:
a. the headlamp switch must be in the OFF position (must not be in the AUTOLAMP position, if
equipped) b. the key must be in the ON position c. the driver door must be open d. the doors must
be unlocked electronically by pressing the door lock control switch to the UNLOCK position
momentarily
Failure to follow this procedure will result in the PMI procedure to fail.
- The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) functionality is integral to the VSM.
- A new VSM is delivered in a "manufacturing mode" with 6 pre-set DTCs. These DTCs require that
a successful configuration of the VSM occurs, then a successful TPMS sensor training occurs, then
a successful self-test occurs, including the clearing of all DTCs. This is required in order to clear
the 6 manufacturing mode DTCs. They are as follows: B2477 (Module Configuration Failure)
- B2868 (Left Front Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)
- B2869 (Right Front Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)
- B2870 (Right Rear Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)

Trailer Connector: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7312
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.

available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Trailer Lamps: Diagnostic Aids
Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns
The illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will create
intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a physical
evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

Trailer Lamps: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
Principles of Operation
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The trailer tow stop/turn lamps receive voltage from the vehicle rear stop/turn lamp circuits. When a
rear stop/turn lamp is illuminated, voltage is also routed to the trailer tow connector.
The trailer tow parking lamps are supplied voltage by the trailer tow parking lamp relay. When the
parking lamps are illuminated, voltage is also routed to the trailer tow parking lamp relay coil. When
the trailer tow parking lamp relay is energized, voltage is supplied to the trailer tow connector.
The trailer tow reversing lamp relay is supplied voltage from the reversing lamp circuit. When the
reversing lamps are illuminated, voltage is supplied to the trailer tow connector.
The trailer battery charging system supplies battery voltage to the trailer tow connector when the
ignition switch is in the RUN position.
If equipped, the vehicle also supplies circuitry to support the installation of an aftermarket trailer
brake control module (TBCM) (installed by the customer). The vehicle circuitry only supplies
voltage, ground, stoplamp switch input and a controlling circuit to the trailer tow connector. The
trailer electric brakes themselves are controlled by the aftermarket TBCM and not the vehicle itself.
Inspection and Verification
INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION
1. Verify the customer concern. 2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of electrical damage.

Trailer Connector: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7402
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.
Power Distribution

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information
C904
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust

Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns
The illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will create
intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a physical
evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

This article supersedes TSB 07-24-5 to update the Service Procedure.
ISSUE Some 2004-2008 F-150 and 2006-2008 Mark LT (Excluding Heritage) vehicles may
encounter a concern of the windshield cowl panel not being fully seated, popped up or giving the
appearance of being warped.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
HEAVY-PRESSURE MAY RESULT IN BREAKING OF THE J-HOOK.
1. Attempt to seat the cowl panel by gently applying pressure, first downward, then rearward to the
inboard rear area of the cowl panel, forward of the windshield to determine if it will engage the
sheet metal flange below. (Figure 1)
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))

2. Pull test will confirm if the hooks are engaged and that the sheet metal flange has not been bent
too far forward. From the driver's side of the vehicle, with your left hand place your thumb on the
fender top, then place your fingers into the cowl's lower portion for the wiper arm and pull lateral on
the cowl panel. Panel will pop up at center when pulled outboard if the hooks are not properly
engaged to the flange. (Figure 2)
1. Remove the cowl panel(s). Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-02 for removal
instructions.
2. Confirm engagement and proper installation of cowl grill. The cowl design makes use of long
J-hooks (Figure 2, view A) on the bottom side of the cowl panel to engage a sheet metal flange
below the cowl panel sur[ace area. On vehicles built prior to August 2006, you will need to visually
confirm that the J-hooks on the right hand (RH) parts are engaged to the sheet metal flange. The
left hand (LH) part will need to be removed to observe this. Vehicles built after August 2006 have a
raised feature forward of the screw attachment support tower on the RH part (near the center line
of the vehicle), which is to ensure that the cowl panel is not built forward and is in the correct
position for the J-hooks to engage the sheet metal flange. Check if the LH cowl panel is installed
correctly, you can either tug the part forward or outward (towards the fender). Each move should
cause the rear of the part or the split joint between the RH and LH cowl grills to pop up if the
J-hooks were not engaged. Relying on an audible confirmation of engagement could cause a
false-positive assessment of the parts being installed and retaining correctly and should not be
used as the final indicator of correct installation.
3. If the RH part does not have the split joint hook engaged to the sheet metal flange it must be set
properly before the LH part can be corrected. Remove LH cowl grill and set aside. Loosen screw
on RH cowl grill. Push down and rearward over the hook to engage the sheet metal flange. While
holding part rearward, re-tighten the screw.
4. If it is found that the LH parts cannot be installed correctly (the rear edge or split joint pops up
after panel is shifted), remove the LH cowl panel (driver side) and place it out of the way. The
flange to which the J-hook engages needs to be adjusted slightly upward 3/32" (2 mm) in two areas
using a pair of wide bill pliers (Figure 1, view B). Then install the cowl panel and retest by trying to
shift either forward or outward. An audible click confirmation of hook engagement could cause a
false positive assessment of the parts being installed correctly and should not be used as the final
indicator of correct installation. Using the pull test, from the driver's side of the vehicle, with your left
hand place your thumb on the fender top, then place your fingers into the cowl's lower portion for
the wiper arm and pull lateral on the cowl panel. Panel will pop up at center when

pulled outboard if the hooks are not properly engaged to the flange. This will confirm the flange has
not been bent too far forward. If the rear edge and split joint stays down and the margin on the
inboard edge to the LH part is consistent, then complete installation of the LH cowl has been
achieved. (Figure 3)

2. Pull test will confirm if the hooks are engaged and that the sheet metal flange has not been bent
too far forward. From the driver's side of the vehicle, with your left hand place your thumb on the
fender top, then place your fingers into the cowl's lower portion for the wiper arm and pull lateral on
the cowl panel. Panel will pop up at center when pulled outboard if the hooks are not properly
engaged to the flange. (Figure 2)
1. Remove the cowl panel(s). Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-02 for removal
instructions.
2. Confirm engagement and proper installation of cowl grill. The cowl design makes use of long
J-hooks (Figure 2, view A) on the bottom side of the cowl panel to engage a sheet metal flange
below the cowl panel sur[ace area. On vehicles built prior to August 2006, you will need to visually
confirm that the J-hooks on the right hand (RH) parts are engaged to the sheet metal flange. The
left hand (LH) part will need to be removed to observe this. Vehicles built after August 2006 have a
raised feature forward of the screw attachment support tower on the RH part (near the center line
of the vehicle), which is to ensure that the cowl panel is not built forward and is in the correct
position for the J-hooks to engage the sheet metal flange. Check if the LH cowl panel is installed
correctly, you can either tug the part forward or outward (towards the fender). Each move should
cause the rear of the part or the split joint between the RH and LH cowl grills to pop up if the
J-hooks were not engaged. Relying on an audible confirmation of engagement could cause a
false-positive assessment of the parts being installed and retaining correctly and should not be
used as the final indicator of correct installation.
3. If the RH part does not have the split joint hook engaged to the sheet metal flange it must be set
properly before the LH part can be corrected. Remove LH cowl grill and set aside. Loosen screw
on RH cowl grill. Push down and rearward over the hook to engage the sheet metal flange. While
holding part rearward, re-tighten the screw.
4. If it is found that the LH parts cannot be installed correctly (the rear edge or split joint pops up
after panel is shifted), remove the LH cowl panel (driver side) and place it out of the way. The
flange to which the J-hook engages needs to be adjusted slightly upward 3/32" (2 mm) in two areas
using a pair of wide bill pliers (Figure 1, view B). Then install the cowl panel and retest by trying to
shift either forward or outward. An audible click confirmation of hook engagement could cause a
false positive assessment of the parts being installed correctly and should not be used as the final
indicator of correct installation. Using the pull test, from the driver's side of the vehicle, with your left
hand place your thumb on the fender top, then place your fingers into the cowl's lower portion for
the wiper arm and pull lateral on the cowl panel. Panel will pop up at center when

pulled outboard if the hooks are not properly engaged to the flange. This will confirm the flange has
not been bent too far forward. If the rear edge and split joint stays down and the margin on the
inboard edge to the LH part is consistent, then complete installation of the LH cowl has been
achieved. (Figure 3)

This article supersedes TSB 07-24-5 to update the Service Procedure.
ISSUE Some 2004-2008 F-150 and 2006-2008 Mark LT (Excluding Heritage) vehicles may
encounter a concern of the windshield cowl panel not being fully seated, popped up or giving the
appearance of being warped.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
HEAVY-PRESSURE MAY RESULT IN BREAKING OF THE J-HOOK.
1. Attempt to seat the cowl panel by gently applying pressure, first downward, then rearward to the
inboard rear area of the cowl panel, forward of the windshield to determine if it will engage the
sheet metal flange below. (Figure 1)

Popped Up > Page 7596
2. Pull test will confirm if the hooks are engaged and that the sheet metal flange has not been bent
too far forward. From the driver's side of the vehicle, with your left hand place your thumb on the
fender top, then place your fingers into the cowl's lower portion for the wiper arm and pull lateral on
the cowl panel. Panel will pop up at center when pulled outboard if the hooks are not properly
engaged to the flange. (Figure 2)
1. Remove the cowl panel(s). Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-02 for removal
instructions.
2. Confirm engagement and proper installation of cowl grill. The cowl design makes use of long
J-hooks (Figure 2, view A) on the bottom side of the cowl panel to engage a sheet metal flange
below the cowl panel sur[ace area. On vehicles built prior to August 2006, you will need to visually
confirm that the J-hooks on the right hand (RH) parts are engaged to the sheet metal flange. The
left hand (LH) part will need to be removed to observe this. Vehicles built after August 2006 have a
raised feature forward of the screw attachment support tower on the RH part (near the center line
of the vehicle), which is to ensure that the cowl panel is not built forward and is in the correct
position for the J-hooks to engage the sheet metal flange. Check if the LH cowl panel is installed
correctly, you can either tug the part forward or outward (towards the fender). Each move should
cause the rear of the part or the split joint between the RH and LH cowl grills to pop up if the
J-hooks were not engaged. Relying on an audible confirmation of engagement could cause a
false-positive assessment of the parts being installed and retaining correctly and should not be
used as the final indicator of correct installation.
3. If the RH part does not have the split joint hook engaged to the sheet metal flange it must be set
properly before the LH part can be corrected. Remove LH cowl grill and set aside. Loosen screw
on RH cowl grill. Push down and rearward over the hook to engage the sheet metal flange. While
holding part rearward, re-tighten the screw.
4. If it is found that the LH parts cannot be installed correctly (the rear edge or split joint pops up
after panel is shifted), remove the LH cowl panel (driver side) and place it out of the way. The
flange to which the J-hook engages needs to be adjusted slightly upward 3/32" (2 mm) in two areas
using a pair of wide bill pliers (Figure 1, view B). Then install the cowl panel and retest by trying to
shift either forward or outward. An audible click confirmation of hook engagement could cause a

ISSUE Some 2004-2008 F-150 and 2006-2008 Mark LT (Excluding Heritage) vehicles may
encounter a concern of the windshield cowl panel not being fully seated, popped up or giving the
appearance of being warped.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
HEAVY-PRESSURE MAY RESULT IN BREAKING OF THE J-HOOK.
1. Attempt to seat the cowl panel by gently applying pressure, first downward, then rearward to the
inboard rear area of the cowl panel, forward of the windshield to determine if it will engage the
sheet metal flange below. (Figure 1)

2. Pull test will confirm if the hooks are engaged and that the sheet metal flange has not been bent
too far forward. From the driver's side of the vehicle, with your left hand place your thumb on the
fender top, then place your fingers into the cowl's lower portion for the wiper arm and pull lateral on
the cowl panel. Panel will pop up at center when pulled outboard if the hooks are not properly
engaged to the flange. (Figure 2)
1. Remove the cowl panel(s). Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-02 for removal
instructions.
2. Confirm engagement and proper installation of cowl grill. The cowl design makes use of long
J-hooks (Figure 2, view A) on the bottom side of the cowl panel to engage a sheet metal flange
below the cowl panel sur[ace area. On vehicles built prior to August 2006, you will need to visually
confirm that the J-hooks on the right hand (RH) parts are engaged to the sheet metal flange. The
left hand (LH) part will need to be removed to observe this. Vehicles built after August 2006 have a
raised feature forward of the screw attachment support tower on the RH part (near the center line
of the vehicle), which is to ensure that the cowl panel is not built forward and is in the correct
position for the J-hooks to engage the sheet metal flange. Check if the LH cowl panel is installed
correctly, you can either tug the part forward or outward (towards the fender). Each move should
cause the rear of the part or the split joint between the RH and LH cowl grills to pop up if the
J-hooks were not engaged. Relying on an audible confirmation of engagement could cause a
false-positive assessment of the parts being installed and retaining correctly and should not be
used as the final indicator of correct installation.
3. If the RH part does not have the split joint hook engaged to the sheet metal flange it must be set
properly before the LH part can be corrected. Remove LH cowl grill and set aside. Loosen screw
on RH cowl grill. Push down and rearward over the hook to engage the sheet metal flange. While
holding part rearward, re-tighten the screw.
4. If it is found that the LH parts cannot be installed correctly (the rear edge or split joint pops up
after panel is shifted), remove the LH cowl panel (driver side) and place it out of the way. The
flange to which the J-hook engages needs to be adjusted slightly upward 3/32" (2 mm) in two areas
using a pair of wide bill pliers (Figure 1, view B). Then install the cowl panel and retest by trying to
shift either forward or outward. An audible click confirmation of hook engagement could cause a
false positive assessment of the parts being installed correctly and should not be used as the final
indicator of correct installation. Using the pull test, from the driver's side of the vehicle, with your left
hand place your thumb on the fender top, then place your fingers into the cowl's lower portion for

Body / Frame Mount Bushing: Description and Operation
FRAME AND BODY MOUNTING
The frame consists of 2 steel channel rails, a front crossmember, transmission support
crossmember and a rear crossmember (trailer hitch). The side rails and welded crossmembers are
not replaced separately. A front frame rail repair kit (5D058 and 5D059) is available if the front rail
is to be repaired.
For diagonal or X-frame checking, refer to Specifications / Dimensions. When welding is carried out
on a vehicle, refer to Welding / Service Precautions.
Magnesium Alloy Radiator Support
The radiator support is a magnesium die casting with steel bridging brackets bolted to the casting.
It replaces the traditional welded-on steel design. The radiator support assembly is welded into the
inner fenders and shotgun, via the bridging brackets, just as the traditional weld-on steel radiator
supports do. Aluminum spacers between the magnesium radiator support and steel components
are required to prevent galvanic corrosion. Minor straightening can be done to the casting as long
as no cracking occurs during straightening.
Care should be taken to avoid overheating and creating a fire when using oxyacetylene equipment
or plasma arc cutting equipment around this or any other magnesium part, for example to remove
severely damaged parts. A magnesium casting is extremely unlikely to catch fire, due to its ability
to dissipate heat quickly and high temperature necessary to affect the casting. However, if the
entire mass of the casting reaches the melting point of magnesium of approximately 427°C
(800°F), there is the potential for a fire. Normally, localized heat applied to magnesium casting will
simply burn a hole through the casting with no fire risk. In the unlikely event that the entire mass of
a magnesium casting does reach 427°C (800°F) and results in a fire, a class D fire extinguisher
should be used. Class A, B or C fire extinguishers can spread the burning material without
extinguishing it. Water will cause the fire to burn faster.
Body Support Mounts
The body support mounts:
- secure the body to the frame.
- cannot reuse body support mounting fasteners. New fasteners must be installed for each fastener
that has been removed or loosened.
- cannot be lubricated during body support mount installation.
- on SuperCrew and SuperCab, share a common fastener with the rear seat. Do not drive the
vehicle with the rear seat removed unless the rear seat fasteners are installed.

Depowering Procedure
WARNING:
- Always wear eye protection when servicing a vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction may result
in serious personal injury.
- Never probe the electrical connectors on air bag, safety canopy or side air curtain modules.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of these modules, which
increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
- To reduce the risk of accidental deployment, do not use any memory saver devices. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death.
NOTE:
- The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is
removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a
supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
1. Turn all vehicle accessories OFF. 2. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. 3. At the central junction
box (CJB), located below the RH side of the instrument panel, remove the trim panel, the cover and
the RCM fuse 19 (10A)
from the CJB.
4. Turn the ignition ON and visually monitor the air bag indicator for at least 30 seconds. The air
bag indicator will remain lit continuously (no
flashing) if the correct RCM fuse has been removed. If the air bag indicator does not remain lit
continuously, remove the correct RCM fuse before proceeding.
5. Turn the ignition OFF.
6. WARNING: Always deplete the backup power supply before repairing or installing any new front
or side air bag supplemental restraint
system (SRS) component and before servicing, removing, installing, adjusting or striking
components near the front or side impact sensors or the restraints control module (RCM). Nearby
components include doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and hood
latches.
Refer to the Description and Operation portion of Air Bag Systems for location of the RCM and
impact sensor(s).
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least
1 minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death in the event of an
accidental deployment.
Disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute.
Repowering Procedure
1. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON. 2. Install the RCM fuse 19 (10A) to the CJB and install
the cover and trim panel.
3. WARNING: Make sure no one is in the vehicle and there is nothing blocking or placed in front of
any air bag module when the battery is
connected. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury in the event of
an accidental deployment.
Connect the battery ground cable.

4. Prove out the SRS as follows:
Turn the ignition key from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the key back to ON and visually
monitor the air bag indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag indicator will light
continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS fault is present, the
air bag indicator will: fail to light.
- remain lit continuously.
- flash.
The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been
turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the
testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime will sound
in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag indicator and any SRS fault discovered
must be diagnosed and repaired.
Clear all continuous DTCs from the RCM using a scan tool.

building a new lock cylinder using the appropriate lock repair package. The lock repair package
includes a detailed instruction sheet to build a new lock cylinder to the current key code of the
vehicle.

25. WARNING:
- Install a new occupant classification sensor (OCS) system service kit as a complete assembly.
Never install only part of the kit components. Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect
operation of the OCS system and increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
- Make sure the front passenger seat repair is complete, the seat and all attached components
(head restraint, seat side shield, etc.) are correctly assembled, and the seat is correctly installed to
the vehicle before carrying out the System Reset. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
incorrect operation of the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system and increases the risk of
serious personal injury or death in a crash.
CAUTION: It is necessary to carry out the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system reset when a front
passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new trim cover is installed or an OCS system service
kit is installed. A scan tool is used to carry out the OCS system reset command. Failure to follow
this instruction may result in system failure and the incorrect operation of the OCS system.
- To prevent system failure, the following precautions must be taken before carrying out the
occupant classification sensor (OCS) system reset: Make sure the voltage to the occupant classification system module (OCSM) is above 8.0 volts and
less than 18.0 volts.
- Make sure the OCS system is not at a temperature below 6°C (42°F) or above 36°C (97°F) when
initiating the OCS system reset process. If the vehicle has been exposed to extreme cold or hot
temperatures, the vehicle must be exposed and kept at a

temperature within the limits, 6°C to 36°C (42°F to 97°F) for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- Make sure nothing is present on the passenger seat before carrying out the OCS system reset
and nothing is placed on the seat during the process.
- Make sure a minimum 8-second time period has passed after cycling the ignition switch ON
before the carrying out the OCS system reset process.
NOTE: If the first attempt to carry out the OCS system reset is unsuccessful, a second attempt
must be made. If the second attempt to carry out the OCS system reset is unsuccessful, a new
OCS system service kit must be installed.
Carry out the OCS system reset command using the scan tool.
26. Cycle the ignition switch from ON to OFF.

28. Prove out the SRS as follows:
Turn the ignition key from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the key back to ON and visually
monitor the air bag warning indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag warning
indicator will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS
fault is present, the air bag warning indicator will: fail to light.
- remain lit continuously.
- flash at a 5Hz rate (RCM not configured).
The air bag warning indicator might not light until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch
has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to
complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault
exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning
indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired.
Clear all continuous DTCs from the RCM using a scan tool.

WARNING: Never probe the electrical connectors on safety belt buckle/retractor pretensioners or
adaptive load limiting retractors. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental
deployment of the safety belt pretensioners or adaptive load limiting retractors, which increases the
risk of serious personal injury or death.
CAUTION:
- It is necessary to carry out the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system reset when a front
passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new trim cover is installed or an OCS system service
kit is installed. A scan tool is used to carry out the OCS system reset command. Failure to follow
this instruction may result in system failure and the incorrect operation of the OCS system.
- Do not install a new heater mat on a front passenger seat cushion. If a new cushion heater mat is
needed on the front passenger seat, an occupant classification sensor (OCS) system service kit
equipped with a heater mat must be installed. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
incorrect operation of the OCS system.
NOTE:
- Occupant classification sensor (OCS) system components (seat wiring harness, seat cushion
frame, seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and occupant classification system
module [OCSM]) are calibrated to each other and are serviced as an assembly. The OCS system
components are not to be installed separately. If a new OCS system, OCS system component or

passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new trim cover is installed or an OCS system service
kit is installed. A scan tool is used to carry out the OCS system reset command. Failure to follow
this instruction may result in system failure and the incorrect operation of the OCS system.
- To prevent system failure, the following precautions must be taken before carrying out the
occupant classification sensor (OCS) system reset: Make sure the voltage to the occupant classification system module (OCSM) is above 8.0 volts and
less than 18.0 volts.
- Make sure the OCS system is not at a temperature below 6C (42°F) or above 36°C (97°F) when
initiating the OCS system reset process. If the vehicle has been exposed to extreme cold or hot
temperatures, the vehicle must be exposed and kept at a temperature within the limits, 6°C to 36°C
(42°F to 97°F) for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- Make sure nothing is present on the passenger seat before carrying out the OCS system reset
and nothing is placed on the seat during the process.
- Make sure a minimum 8-second time period has passed after cycling the ignition switch ON
before the carrying out the OCS system reset process.

25. Prove out the SRS as follows:
Turn the ignition key from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the key back to ON and visually
monitor the air bag warning indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag warning
indicator will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS
fault is present, the air bag warning indicator will: fail to light.
- remain lit continuously.
- flash at a 5Hz rate (RCM not configured).
The air bag warning indicator might not light until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch
has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to
complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault
exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning
indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired.

Seat Heater: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns
The illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will create
intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a physical
evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

serious personal injury or death in a crash.
CAUTION: It is necessary to carry out the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system reset when a front
passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new trim cover is installed or an OCS system service
kit is installed. A scan tool is used to carry out the OCS system reset command. Failure to follow
this instruction may result in system failure and the incorrect operation of the OCS system.
- To prevent system failure, the following precautions must be taken before carrying out the
occupant classification sensor (OCS) system reset: Make sure the voltage to the occupant classification system module (OCSM) is above 8.0 volts and
less than 18.0 volts.
- Make sure the OCS system is not at a temperature below 6°C (42°F) or above 36°C (97°F) when
initiating the OCS system reset process. If the vehicle has been exposed to extreme cold or hot
temperatures, the vehicle must be exposed and kept at a temperature within the limits, 6°C to 36°C
(42°F to 97°F) for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- Make sure nothing is present on the passenger seat before carrying out the OCS system reset
and nothing is placed on the seat during the process.
- Make sure a minimum 8-second time period has passed after cycling the ignition switch ON
before the carrying out the OCS system reset process.
NOTE: If the first attempt to carry out the OCS system reset is unsuccessful, a second attempt
must be made. If the second attempt to carry out the OCS system reset is unsuccessful, a new
OCS system service kit must be installed.
Carry out the OCS system reset command using the scan tool.
11. Cycle the ignition switch from ON to OFF.
12. NOTE: The ignition switch must be cycled after the OCS system reset.
Cycle the ignition switch from OFF to ON.
All seats
13. Prove out the SRS as follows:
Turn the ignition key from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the key back to ON and visually
monitor the air bag warning indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag warning
indicator will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS
fault is present, the air bag warning indicator will: fail to light.
- remain lit continuously.
- flash at a 5Hz rate (RCM not configured).
The air bag warning indicator might not light until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch
has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to
complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault
exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning
indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be

less than 18.0 volts.
- Make sure the OCS system is not at a temperature below 6°C (42°F) or above 36°C (97°F) when
initiating the OCS system reset process. If the vehicle has been exposed to extreme cold or hot
temperatures, the vehicle must be exposed and kept at a temperature within the limits, 6°C to 36°C
(42°F to 97°F) for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- Make sure nothing is present on the passenger seat before carrying out the OCS system reset
and nothing is placed on the seat during the process.
- Make sure a minimum 8-second time period has passed after cycling the ignition switch ON
before the carrying out the OCS system reset process.
NOTE: If the first attempt to carry out the OCS system reset is unsuccessful, a second attempt
must made. If the second attempt to carry out the OCS system reset is unsuccessful, a new OCS
system service kit must be installed.
Carry out the OCS system reset command using the scan tool.
8. Cycle the ignition switch from ON to OFF.
9. NOTE: The ignition switch must be cycled after the OCS system reset.
Cycle the ignition switch from OFF to ON.
All seats
10. Prove out the SRS as follows:
Turn the ignition key from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the key back to ON and visually
monitor the air bag warning indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag warning
indicator will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS
fault is present, the air bag warning indicator will: fail to light.

- remain lit continuously.
- flash at a 5Hz rate (RCM not configured).
The air bag warning indicator might not light until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch
has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to
complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault
exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning
indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired.
Clear all continuous DTCs from the RCM using a scan tool.

Sound Proofing / Insulation: Description and Operation Insulation
INSULATION
Insulation is used as a sound-deadener to reduce exterior road and powertrain noises from the
interior of the vehicle. Mastic insulators are also used as insulation. For information on the location
of the mastic insulators, refer to Sound Proofing / Insulation. Insulation is installed:
- under the roof.
- above and below the instrument panel.
- at the cowl side panels.
- over the front and rear tunnel.
- over the front and rear floor pans.
It has heat-bondable mastic deadeners for improved noise, vibration and harshness (NVH)
characteristics.

Sound Proofing / Insulation: Description and Operation Sound Deadeners and Insulators
SOUND DEADENERS AND INSULATORS
WARNING: Always refer to Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) when handling chemicals and wear
protective equipment as directed. Examples may include but are not limited to respirators and
chemically resistant gloves. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal
injury.
NOTICE:
- Mastic is made of a combustible material and should be removed prior to carrying out welding
procedures to the area. Heat zones from welding near the mastic can cause the mastic material to
burn.
- Corrosion protection must be restored to the area AFTER the mastic material is applied.
Corrosion protection products may be wax based and loss of adhesion may occur.
NOTE:
- The following illustrations serve as a reference to indicate mastic patch (butyl pad) locations.
Additional insulators and sound deadeners are used beyond those indicated in the illustration.
- To restore the vehicle to design intent, missing or damaged sound deadeners and insulators
should be replaced with the equivalent service replacement component. In instances where
pumpable material is applied when manufactured and can not be duplicated, cut-to-fit mastic
material is an acceptable replacement.

1. Whenever replacement of an existing mastic insulator is carried out, the surface must be
thoroughly cleaned to make sure correct adhesion will
occur. The surface should be 10°C (50°F) or greater before applying the mastic. The use of a heat
gun to warm the metal surface will aid in adhesion.

This article supersedes TSB 07-24-5 to update the Service Procedure.
ISSUE Some 2004-2008 F-150 and 2006-2008 Mark LT (Excluding Heritage) vehicles may
encounter a concern of the windshield cowl panel not being fully seated, popped up or giving the
appearance of being warped.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
HEAVY-PRESSURE MAY RESULT IN BREAKING OF THE J-HOOK.
1. Attempt to seat the cowl panel by gently applying pressure, first downward, then rearward to the
inboard rear area of the cowl panel, forward of the windshield to determine if it will engage the
sheet metal flange below. (Figure 1)

> Page 8294
2. Pull test will confirm if the hooks are engaged and that the sheet metal flange has not been bent
too far forward. From the driver's side of the vehicle, with your left hand place your thumb on the
fender top, then place your fingers into the cowl's lower portion for the wiper arm and pull lateral on
the cowl panel. Panel will pop up at center when pulled outboard if the hooks are not properly
engaged to the flange. (Figure 2)
1. Remove the cowl panel(s). Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-02 for removal
instructions.
2. Confirm engagement and proper installation of cowl grill. The cowl design makes use of long
J-hooks (Figure 2, view A) on the bottom side of the cowl panel to engage a sheet metal flange
below the cowl panel sur[ace area. On vehicles built prior to August 2006, you will need to visually
confirm that the J-hooks on the right hand (RH) parts are engaged to the sheet metal flange. The
left hand (LH) part will need to be removed to observe this. Vehicles built after August 2006 have a
raised feature forward of the screw attachment support tower on the RH part (near the center line
of the vehicle), which is to ensure that the cowl panel is not built forward and is in the correct
position for the J-hooks to engage the sheet metal flange. Check if the LH cowl panel is installed
correctly, you can either tug the part forward or outward (towards the fender). Each move should
cause the rear of the part or the split joint between the RH and LH cowl grills to pop up if the
J-hooks were not engaged. Relying on an audible confirmation of engagement could cause a
false-positive assessment of the parts being installed and retaining correctly and should not be
used as the final indicator of correct installation.
3. If the RH part does not have the split joint hook engaged to the sheet metal flange it must be set
properly before the LH part can be corrected. Remove LH cowl grill and set aside. Loosen screw
on RH cowl grill. Push down and rearward over the hook to engage the sheet metal flange. While
holding part rearward, re-tighten the screw.
4. If it is found that the LH parts cannot be installed correctly (the rear edge or split joint pops up
after panel is shifted), remove the LH cowl panel (driver side) and place it out of the way. The
flange to which the J-hook engages needs to be adjusted slightly upward 3/32" (2 mm) in two areas
using a pair of wide bill pliers (Figure 1, view B). Then install the cowl panel and retest by trying to
shift either forward or outward. An audible click confirmation of hook engagement could cause a
false positive assessment of the parts being installed correctly and should not be used as the final
indicator of correct installation. Using the pull test, from the driver's side of the vehicle, with your left
hand place your thumb on the fender top, then place your fingers into the cowl's lower portion for
the wiper arm and pull lateral on the cowl panel. Panel will pop up at center when

pulled outboard if the hooks are not properly engaged to the flange. This will confirm the flange has
not been bent too far forward. If the rear edge and split joint stays down and the margin on the
inboard edge to the LH part is consistent, then complete installation of the LH cowl has been
achieved. (Figure 3)

position for the J-hooks to engage the sheet metal flange. Check if the LH cowl panel is installed
correctly, you can either tug the part forward or outward (towards the fender). Each move should
cause the rear of the part or the split joint between the RH and LH cowl grills to pop up if the
J-hooks were not engaged. Relying on an audible confirmation of engagement could cause a
false-positive assessment of the parts being installed and retaining correctly and should not be
used as the final indicator of correct installation.
3. If the RH part does not have the split joint hook engaged to the sheet metal flange it must be set
properly before the LH part can be corrected. Remove LH cowl grill and set aside. Loosen screw
on RH cowl grill. Push down and rearward over the hook to engage the sheet metal flange. While
holding part rearward, re-tighten the screw.
4. If it is found that the LH parts cannot be installed correctly (the rear edge or split joint pops up
after panel is shifted), remove the LH cowl panel (driver side) and place it out of the way. The
flange to which the J-hook engages needs to be adjusted slightly upward 3/32" (2 mm) in two areas
using a pair of wide bill pliers (Figure 1, view B). Then install the cowl panel and retest by trying to
shift either forward or outward. An audible click confirmation of hook engagement could cause a
false positive assessment of the parts being installed correctly and should not be used as the final
indicator of correct installation. Using the pull test, from the driver's side of the vehicle, with your left
hand place your thumb on the fender top, then place your fingers into the cowl's lower portion for
the wiper arm and pull lateral on the cowl panel. Panel will pop up at center when pulled outboard if
the hooks are not properly engaged to the flange. This will confirm the flange has not been bent too
far forward. If the rear edge and split joint stays down and the margin on the inboard edge to the
LH part is consistent, then complete installation of the LH cowl has been achieved. (Figure 3)

Brake Switch (Cruise Control): Description and Operation
Brake Pedal Position (BPP) Switch
Typical BPP Switch
The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows: to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.
- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.
- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.
Brake Pedal Switch (BPS)/Brake Deactivator Switch
The BPS, also called the brake deactivator switch, is for vehicle speed control deactivation. A
normally closed switch supplies battery positive voltage (B+) to the PCM when the brake pedal is
not applied. When the brake pedal is applied, the normally closed switch opens and power is
removed from the PCM.
On some applications the normally closed BPS, along with the normally open BPP switch, are used
for a brake rationality test within the PCM. The PCM misfire monitor profile learn function may be
disabled if a brake switch concern occurs. If one or both brake pedal inputs to the PCM is not
changing states when they were expected to, a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is set by the PCM
strategy.

CLUTCH PEDAL POSITION (CPP) SWITCH
Typical Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) Switch
The CPP switch is an input to the PCM indicating the clutch pedal position. The PCM provides a
low current voltage on the CPP circuit. When the CPP switch is closed, this voltage is pulled low
through the SIG RTN circuit. The CPP input to the PCM is used to detect a reduction in engine
load. The PCM uses the load information for mass air flow and fuel calculations.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

CAUTION: During demagnetizing, the demagnetizer coil is pulled toward the vehicle. Place a cloth
over the vehicle roof to protect the vehicle surface if contact occurs. Make sure the cloth covers the
front third and the entire width of the roof.
NOTE:
- The demagnetizing process requires the use of a demagnetizing coil commonly used by television
repair technicians to demagnetize television tubes.
- To demagnetize, use a constant circular motion over the vehicle roof. Do not turn off the
demagnetizer while sweeping the vehicle roof to prevent remagnetizing ferrous materials contained
in the vehicle.
- During the demagnetizing process, make sure the phenolic surface of the tool (the side opposite
the handle) is closest to the vehicle surface.
1. Demagnetize the front third of the vehicle roof.
1 Turn on the demagnetizer at least 1 m (3 ft) away from the vehicle.
2 Holding the demagnetizer no more than 2.5 cm (1 inch) from the vehicle roof and starting on the
passenger side, demagnetize the front third of the vehicle roof closest to the windshield using a
constant circular motion. Keep the circle radius within 30 cm (12 inches) while sweeping across the
entire surface of the vehicle roof closest to the windshield. Continue the circular motion 4 times.
3 After the fourth pass and without stopping, move the demagnetizer at least 1 m (3 ft) away from
the vehicle.
4 Turn the demagnetizer off.
2. Carry out the compass zone adjustment procedure. Refer to Compass Zone Adjustment. See:

Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Description and Operation
INFORMATION AND MESSAGE CENTER
Message Center
The message center is a fixed format display that is controlled by the message center switches.
The message center is located in the lower RH corner of the instrument cluster and displays
important vehicle information by constantly monitoring different vehicle systems. The message
center may display a warning message pertaining to the system in which a fault has been detected.
The message center provides the following features: Information menu
- Setup menu
- Warning messages
The message center information can be selected through a set of 3 buttons: INFO
- RESET
- SETUP
The setup display time-outs and defaults to the blank display function. The temporary alert display
interrupts the current display to show the status of an event that has just happened. The warning
display interrupts the current display until cleared or reset by the driver.
Compass Display
The message center provides a compass display and uses directional information sent from the
compass module. The compass module is mounted to the underside of the interior rear view mirror
or integrated into the mirror if equipped with a auto-dimming mirror or a rear video camera display
mirror.
Information Displays
The information displays are non-timed modes. The selected mode remains on until the driver
presses a message center button to change the mode, or it is overridden by another mode. The
information display modes are: Odometer
- Trip odometer
- Compass
- Outside air temperature
- Distance to empty
- Average fuel economy
- Elapsed trip time
Setup Displays
The setup displays are timed modes and default back to the blank display function. The setup
display modes are: System check
- English/metric units
- Autolocks on, autolocks off
- Language (English, French or Spanish)
System Check Displays
The system check function monitors a variety of systems and displays an OK message or warning
message if a fault is detected in the monitored system. The systems monitored are as follows: Fuel level
- Engine temperature
- Oil pressure
- Brake fluid level
- Charging system
Warning Messages
The warning messages can interrupt the display until cleared or reset by the driver. The system
uses 3 types of warning messages: single cycle, non-renewable, and repetitive.
The single cycle of warning messages display once whenever the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position or a fault occurs in a system. They can be cleared by pressing the RESET button. The
single cycle warning message is: DOOR AJAR
The non-renewable warning messages are displayed at a fixed interval whenever the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position or is in the ACC position. To remove a repetitive warning

Diagnostic Procedures
Principles of Operation
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The message center is an integral part of the instrument cluster (IC) that receives and acts upon
much of the same information that is input and used to operate the instrument cluster (IC) gauges,
informational indicators, and warning indicators. The message center, located in the instrument
cluster (IC) is a vacuum fluorescent 2-line display. The message center electronic functions use
both hardwired and the network communication circuitry to transmit and receive information.
Whenever conditions are present that require a warning message, the message center replaces
the last selected display with the new warning display. Warning messages are generally associated
with other observable instrument cluster (IC) indications. For example, when a door is opened, the
message center displays the message DOOR AJAR along with the door ajar warning indicator.
This allows the message center to be a more informative supplement to the instrument cluster (IC)
gauges and indicators.
It is very important to understand:
- where the input (command) originates.
- all the information (messages) necessary in order for a feature to operate.
- which module(s) receive(s) the input or command message.

- if the module that received the input (message) controls the output of the feature, or if it outputs a
message over the CAN to another module.
- which module controls the output of the feature.

Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Pinpoint Tests
Test A: The Message Center Is Not Operating Correctly
PINPOINT TEST A: THE MESSAGE CENTER IS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY
Normal Operation
The message center display is integrated into the lower RH corner of the instrument cluster (IC).
The instrument cluster (IC) odometer, trip odometer, compass, outside air temperature and
message center displays are contained in the same window. The message center switch is
hardwired to the instrument cluster (IC) through circuits 1411 (GY/OG) and 1396 (VT/WH). The
message center switches use a different resistance value for each switch, allowing the instrument
cluster (IC) to determine which switch is pressed.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Instrument cluster (IC)
- Message center switch
A1-A3
Test B: The Message Center Switch Does Not Operate Correctly
PINPOINT TEST B: THE MESSAGE CENTER SWITCH DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
Normal Operation
The message center functionality is controlled through the message center switch, which is
hardwired to the instrument cluster (IC) through the input circuit 1411 (GY/OG) and the return
circuit 1396 (VT/WH). There are 3 message center switch buttons with each button operating a
switch that uses different resistance values. The instrument cluster (IC) sends out a reference
voltage to the message center switch on the input circuit and monitors the voltage drop when a
message center switch button is pressed. The voltage drop will vary depending upon the resistance
of each button, providing a specific indication to the instrument cluster (IC) which switch is pressed.
- DTC B1209 (EIC Switch-2 Assembly Circuit Failure) - sets on-demand in the instrument cluster
(IC) if any of the buttons on the message center are stuck or pressed during the self-test.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Instrument cluster (IC)
- Message center switch

(with auto-dimming interior rear view mirror) receives voltage from the central junction box (CJB)
through circuit 294 (WH/LB) and is grounded through circuit 875 (BK/LB). The compass module
(without auto-dimming interior rear view mirror) or interior rear view mirror (with auto-dimming
interior rear view mirror) communicates vehicle direction to the instrument cluster (IC) to be
displayed in the message center. The compass module (without auto-dimming interior rear view
mirror) or interior rear view mirror (with auto-dimming interior rear view mirror) uses circuits 702
(WH/BK) and 703 (WH/OG) to communicate to the instrument cluster (IC).
- DTC U2013 (Compass Module is Not Responding) - is a continuous memory DTC that sets in the
instrument cluster (IC) if the compass module (without auto-dimming interior rear view mirror) or
interior rear view mirror (with auto-dimming interior rear view mirror) does not send the compass
data to the instrument cluster (IC).

Test D: The Compass Is Inaccurate
PINPOINT TEST D: THE COMPASS IS INACCURATE
Normal Operation
The compass module (without auto-dimming interior rear view mirror) or interior rear view mirror
(with auto-dimming interior rear view mirror) communicates vehicle direction to the instrument
cluster (IC) to be displayed in the message center through circuits 702 (WH/BK) and 703 (WH/OG).
The magnetic fields generated by the earths north and south poles are divided into zones that differ
from each other with respect to how the magnetic fields appear.
The magnetic north can change by up to 4 degrees between zones and become noticeable across
multiple zones. The compass zone must be set to the correct zone for the compass to read
accurately. Factors within the vehicle may affect the ability of the compass module to accurately
read the magnetic north. Calibrating the compass allows the compass module to compensate for
vehicle factors that influence the accuracy of the compass.
NOTE: Outside factors such as bridges, steel structures, tall buildings and power lines also affect
compass accuracy.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Compass zone setting

Test E: The Transmission Message Is Inoperative
PINPOINT TEST E: THE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE IS INOPERATIVE
Normal Operation
The instrument cluster (IC) and message center receive transmission data from the PCM over the
high speed controller area network (HS-CAN) communication bus. When a concern exists with the
transmission, the PCM provides a command signal to the message center to display the
transmission warning message.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

Test F: The Check Fuel Cap Message Is Inoperative/Always Displayed
PINPOINT TEST F: THE CHECK FUEL CAP MESSAGE IS INOPERATIVE/ALWAYS DISPLAYED
Normal Operation
The PCM monitors the fuel tank evaporative emission system for significant leaks that occur
following refueling of the vehicle. Once the PCM detects a fuel vapor leak, the PCM sends the
instrument cluster (IC) a network message over the communication network to turn on the check
fuel cap warning message display. DTC P0457 sets in the PCM following a successful cruise test,
which is initiated when the vehicle is driven at a steady speed above 64 km/h (40 mph) for a
duration of approximately 4-5 minutes. If the PCM is unable to successfully run the cruise test, the
instrument cluster (IC) does not receive the check fuel cap network message and the check fuel
cap message display remains off.
- DTC P0457 (Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected) (fuel cap loose/off) - sets in the PCM
if a fuel tank pressure change greater than -23.7 kPa (-7 in-Hg) of vacuum within 30 seconds after
refueling occurs, or there is an excessive purge (fuel vapor) flow of greater than 454 g (1.0 lb) per
minute.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- PCM
- Instrument cluster (IC)

CHECK FUEL CAP INDICATOR
The check fuel cap indicator is a communications network message sent by the PCM. The PCM
sends the message to illuminate the lamp when the strategy determines there is a concern in the
EVAP system due to the fuel filler cap or capless fuel tank filler pipe not being sealed correctly.
This would be detected by the inability to pull vacuum in the fuel tank, after a fueling event.

Fuel Gauge: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Fuel Gauge > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8492
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information
C904
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

The FP module is a device that contains the fuel pump and sender assembly. The fuel pump is
located inside the FP module reservoir and supplies fuel through the FP module manifold to the
engine and FP module jet pump. The jet pump continuously refills the reservoir with fuel, and a
check valve located in the manifold outlet maintains system pressure when the fuel pump is not
energized. A flapper valve located in the bottom of the reservoir allows fuel to enter the reservoir
and prime the fuel pump during the initial fill.
Fuel Pump (FP) Module and Reservoir
The FP module is mounted inside the fuel tank in a reservoir. The pump has a discharge check
valve that maintains the system pressure after the key has been turned off to minimize starting
concerns. The reservoir prevents fuel flow interruptions during extreme vehicle maneuvers with low
tank fill levels.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator Illuminates Continuously
NOTE: If the spare tire is in use, the damaged road tire must be repaired and installed on the
vehicle to restore complete TPMS functionality before carrying out any diagnosis.
NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the
sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate.
For vehicles with the same tire pressures for front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the
system.
1. The TPMS indicator remains on continuously for the following condition:
^ Low Tire Pressure - The TPMS indicator is illuminated solid and the message center displays
LOW TIRE PRESSURE (if equipped). This is displayed when any of the tire pressures are low.
When this condition exists, the tire pressure must be adjusted to the recommended cold pressure
as indicated on the vehicle certification label.
2. NOTE: The TPMS sensors do not transmit when the vehicle is stationary. If the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 30 minutes, it will be
necessary to wake up the sensors so they will transmit the latest tire pressure information to the
VSM.
If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, refer to the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) Sensor Activation procedure. See: Tire Monitoring System/Testing and
Inspection/Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL)
Check Engine, Service Engine Soon, Or ISO Standard Engine Symbol
The MIL notifies the driver that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an on board
diagnostic (OBD) emission-related component or system concern. When this occurs, an OBD
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) sets.
- The MIL is located in the instrument cluster and is labeled CHECK ENGINE, SERVICE ENGINE
SOON or the international standards organization (ISO) standard engine symbol.
- The MIL is illuminated during the instrument cluster prove out for approximately 4 seconds.
- The MIL remains illuminated after instrument cluster prove out if: an emission-related concern and DTC exists.
- the PCM does not send a control message to the instrument cluster (applications with the MIL
controlled through the communication link).
- the PCM is operating in the hardware limited operation strategy (HLOS).
- The MIL remains off during the instrument cluster prove out if an indicator or instrument cluster
concern is present.
- To turn off the MIL after a repair, a reset command from the scan tool must be sent, or 3
consecutive drive cycles must be completed without a concern.
- For all MIL concerns, go to Symptom Charts. See: Powertrain Management/Computers and
Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
- If the MIL flashes at a steady rate, a severe misfire condition may exist.
- If the MIL flashes erratically, the PCM can reset while cranking if the battery voltage is low.
- The MIL flashes after a period of time with the key in the RUN position (engine not running) if
DTC P1000 is set.

The FP module is a device that contains the fuel pump and sender assembly. The fuel pump is
located inside the FP module reservoir and supplies fuel through the FP module manifold to the
engine and FP module jet pump. The jet pump continuously refills the reservoir with fuel, and a
check valve located in the manifold outlet maintains system pressure when the fuel pump is not
energized. A flapper valve located in the bottom of the reservoir allows fuel to enter the reservoir
and prime the fuel pump during the initial fill.
Fuel Pump (FP) Module and Reservoir
The FP module is mounted inside the fuel tank in a reservoir. The pump has a discharge check
valve that maintains the system pressure after the key has been turned off to minimize starting
concerns. The reservoir prevents fuel flow interruptions during extreme vehicle maneuvers with low
tank fill levels.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator Illuminates Continuously
NOTE: If the spare tire is in use, the damaged road tire must be repaired and installed on the
vehicle to restore complete TPMS functionality before carrying out any diagnosis.
NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the
sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate.
For vehicles with the same tire pressures for front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the
system.
1. The TPMS indicator remains on continuously for the following condition:
^ Low Tire Pressure - The TPMS indicator is illuminated solid and the message center displays
LOW TIRE PRESSURE (if equipped). This is displayed when any of the tire pressures are low.
When this condition exists, the tire pressure must be adjusted to the recommended cold pressure
as indicated on the vehicle certification label.
2. NOTE: The TPMS sensors do not transmit when the vehicle is stationary. If the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 30 minutes, it will be
necessary to wake up the sensors so they will transmit the latest tire pressure information to the
VSM.
If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, refer to the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) Sensor Activation procedure. See: Testing and Inspection/Monitors, Trips, Drive
Cycles and Readiness Codes

Training
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training
NOTE: If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will go into a "sleep
mode" to conserve battery power. It will be necessary to wake them up so they will transmit the
latest tire pressure information to the vehicle security module (VSM). Refer to Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Activation. See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and
Relearning
NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle, in an area
without radio frequency noise and at least 1 m (3 ft) away from other vehicles equipped with tire
pressure monitor system (TPMS). Radio frequency noise is generated by electrical motors and
appliance operation, cellular telephones, remote transmitters, power inverters and portable
entertainment equipment.
NOTE: If a sensor does not respond to the activation tool, attempt to activate the same sensor with
the activation tool. If the sensor still does not respond, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at
least 1/4 of a turn and attempt to activate the same sensor again.
NOTE: The VSM has a 2 minute time limit between sensor responses. If the VSM does not
recognize any 1 of the 4 tire pressure sensors during this time limit, the horn will sound twice and
the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT and the entire
procedure must be repeated.
NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure must be adjusted and the tire pressure sensors must be trained
following a tire rotation. Failure to train the sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate. For
vehicles with the same tire pressures for front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the system.
1. NOTE: Click here to view an animated version of this procedure.
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, then press and release the brake pedal.
2. Cycle the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN
position. 3. Press and release the brake pedal. 4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 5.
Turn the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN
position.
^ The horn will sound once and the TPMS indicator will flash if the training mode has been entered
successfully. If equipped, the message center will display TRAIN LF TIRE.
6. NOTE: It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this time, the
activation tool must remain in place 180 degrees from
the valve stem.
Place the activation tool on the LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the valve stem.
Press and release the test button on the special tool. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the
tire pressure sensor has been recognized by the VSM. Click here to view an animated version of

7. Within 2 minutes of the horn sounding, place the activation tool on the RF tire sidewall opposite
(180°) from the valve stem to train the RF tire
pressure sensor.
8. NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between training each sensor or the VSM will time out
and the entire procedure must be repeated.
Repeat Step 7 for the RR and LR tires. The procedure is completed after the last tire has been
trained. When the training procedure is complete, the message center (if equipped) will display
TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE.
For vehicles not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure
will be verified by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position without the horn sounding. If the
horn sounds twice when the switch is turned to the OFF position, the training procedure was not
successful.
9. Using the scan tool, locate the updated TPMS sensor IDs trained to the VSM and document
them on the applicable warranty claim.
10. NOTE: This step is required to clear DTC C2780, cause the VSM to exit the manufacturing
mode and to make sure there are no other concerns
with a newly programmed VSM.
If the sensors are being trained due to the installation of a new VSM, clear any DTCs and perform
the VSM on-demand self test.

Brake Lamp: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 8687
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.
Power Distribution

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information
C904
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

and Instructions > Page 8689
disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation
BRAKE PEDAL POSITION (BPP) SWITCH
Typical BPP Switch
The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows:
- to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.
- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.
- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Diagnostic Procedures
Principles of Operation
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Vehicles Equipped With Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
RKE-equipped vehicles have an illuminated entry feature. The instrument cluster (IC) illuminates
the courtesy lamps (and if equipped, the puddle lamps in the exterior mirrors) when an unlock
signal is received from the vehicle security module (VSM) through the universal asynchronous
receiver transmitter (UART)-based protocol (UBP) network. When active, the illuminated entry
feature is canceled when any of the following conditions are met: 25 seconds have elapsed since the illuminated entry feature was activated and the courtesy lamp
control is not activated (door ajar or dimmer switch ON).
- The IC receives a request from the VSM (remote transmitter LOCK button pressed) and the
courtesy lamp control is not activated.
- The ignition is in the RUN or START position and the courtesy lamp control is not activated.
The IC illuminates the courtesy lamps when any door is open. The courtesy lamps shut off when
the doors are closed and the illuminated entry feature is not active or when the vehicle speed is
greater than 15 km/h (6 mph). The illuminate entry is not reactivated until the vehicle speed is less
than 15 km/h (6 mph) and a new door open signal is received.
When any of the doors are open and the dimmer switch is not in the DEFEAT position, the VSM
sends a door ajar message over the UBP network to the IC. When the IC receives a door ajar
message, the IC illuminates the courtesy lamps.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Courtesy Lamp > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial
Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 8748
Vehicles Equipped Without Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
The IC illuminates the courtesy lamps and puddle lamps (if equipped) when any door is open and
the dimmer switch is not in the DEFEAT position. The IC turns the courtesy lamps and puddle
lamps (if equipped) off when the doors are closed.
Demand Lamps/Battery Saver
Power to the on-demand lamps, the illuminated vanity mirrors and the map lamps are controlled by
the battery saver relay. The battery saver uses the following times for the specific feature to be
turned off: Courtesy lamps with the dome lamp off, 10 minutes.
- Courtesy lamps with the dome lamp on, 30 minutes.
- Warning chimes, 30 minutes.
The IC controls the courtesy lamps illuminated entry feature by activating the battery saver relay.
The battery saver shutoff time begins when the ignition is turned to the OFF position.

Courtesy Lamp: Pinpoint Tests
Test A: The Courtesy Lamps Are Inoperative
PINPOINT TEST A: THE COURTESY LAMPS ARE INOPERATIVE
Normal Operation
On vehicles equipped with remote keyless entry (RKE), the door ajar switches are hardwired to the
vehicle security module (VSM). The VSM monitors the status of all door ajar switches, and when a
door is opened, transmits a dome lamp on message to the instrument cluster (IC) through the
network, indicating a door has been opened. When the IC receives the dome lamp on message
from the VSM, the IC energizes the courtesy lamp circuit, which illuminates the courtesy lamps
and, if equipped, the puddle lamps in the exterior mirrors.
On vehicles without RKE, the door ajar switches are hardwired to the IC. When the driver or
passenger door is opened, the IC receives a ground signal from the driver door ajar switch through
circuit 344 (BK/YE), or from the passenger door ajar switch through circuit 345 (BK/PK), and the IC
energizes the courtesy lamp circuit, causing the courtesy lamps to illuminate.
The dimmer switch is used to turn the courtesy lamps on or off when the doors are closed. The
courtesy lamp defeat switch is used to have the courtesy lamps remain off when the doors are
open.
- DTC B2499 (Courtesy Lamp Output Failure) - is a continuous and on-demand DTC that sets
when the courtesy lamp output shorts to ground or has an over-temperature condition.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors

Test C: The Courtesy Lamps Stay On Continuously
PINPOINT TEST C: THE COURTESY LAMPS STAY ON CONTINUOUSLY
Normal Operation
On vehicles equipped with remote keyless entry (RKE), the vehicle security module (VSM) sends
an courtesy lamps on request to the instrument cluster (IC) through the universal asynchronous
receiver transmitter (UART)-based protocol (UBP) network circuit 1906 (PK) whenever a door has
been opened, the UNLOCK button has been pressed on the remote transmitter, or when an unlock
request has been entered with the keyless entry keypad (if equipped). The door ajar switches
provide the IC with a signal to energize circuit 53 (BK/LB) when the doors are opened. The
courtesy lamps can also be turned on or off with the dimmer switch, which provides a ground signal
to the IC through circuit 402 (OG/LG). When the IC receives the courtesy lamps on request from
the VSM or the dimmer switch, the IC energizes circuit 53 (BK/LB), which provides power to the
courtesy lamps. The courtesy lamps are grounded through circuit 57 (BK).
On vehicles without RKE, the IC energizes circuit 53 (BK/LB) when a door has been opened. The
door ajar switch provides a signal to the IC, which provides then power to the courtesy lamps. The
courtesy lamps can also be turned on or off with the dimmer switch. The courtesy lamps are
grounded through circuit 57 (BK), and will remain illuminated until the IC removes voltage from
circuit 53 (BK/LB).
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Door ajar switch
- Dimmer switch
- VSM
- IC

License Plate Lamp: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > License Plate Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8860
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.
Power Distribution

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information
C904
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

Information and Instructions > Page 8862
disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Parking Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8904
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.

shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information
C904
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation
BRAKE PEDAL POSITION (BPP) SWITCH
Typical BPP Switch
The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows:
- to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.
- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.
- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.

Tail Lamp: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Tail Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 9058
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.
Power Distribution
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Tail Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 9059
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information
C904
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Tail Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 9060
disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Tail Lamp: Diagnostic Aids
Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns
The illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will create
intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a physical
evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.
Terminal not properly seated
1 = Locked terminal
2 = Male half
3 = Female half
4 = Seal
5 = Intermittent contact
6 = Unlocked terminal (Hidden by wire seal)

Trailer Lamps: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Trailer Lamps > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 9079
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.
Power Distribution
Ford F 150 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Trailer Lamps > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 9080
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information
C904
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

and Instructions > Page 9081
disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Trailer Lamps: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
Principles of Operation
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The trailer tow stop/turn lamps receive voltage from the vehicle rear stop/turn lamp circuits. When a
rear stop/turn lamp is illuminated, voltage is also routed to the trailer tow connector.
The trailer tow parking lamps are supplied voltage by the trailer tow parking lamp relay. When the
parking lamps are illuminated, voltage is also routed to the trailer tow parking lamp relay coil. When
the trailer tow parking lamp relay is energized, voltage is supplied to the trailer tow connector.
The trailer tow reversing lamp relay is supplied voltage from the reversing lamp circuit. When the
reversing lamps are illuminated, voltage is supplied to the trailer tow connector.
The trailer battery charging system supplies battery voltage to the trailer tow connector when the
ignition switch is in the RUN position.
If equipped, the vehicle also supplies circuitry to support the installation of an aftermarket trailer
brake control module (TBCM) (installed by the customer). The vehicle circuitry only supplies
voltage, ground, stoplamp switch input and a controlling circuit to the trailer tow connector. The
trailer electric brakes themselves are controlled by the aftermarket TBCM and not the vehicle itself.

on the windshield glass and the body.
3. After the dry-fit alignment, remove the glass from the body opening and place on a stable work
surface with the interior side of the glass facing
upward.
4. WARNING: Repair any corrosion found on the pinch weld. The pinch weld is a structural
component of the vehicle. Corrosion left
unrepaired may reduce the structural integrity of the vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in serious injury to vehicle occupant(s).
NOTE: Avoid scratching the pinch weld. For minor scratches or exposed metal on the pinch weld,
see the manufacturer's recommendations.

adhesive will be applied.
8. CAUTION: Be sure to use the same brand and cure-rate products for the adhesive and primer.
Do not mix different brands of urethane
and primer. Refer to the Material Chart in this procedure.
NOTE: Sika uses the same black primer for the glass and pinch weld area.
If installing a new windshield glass, apply urethane glass primer according to manufacturer's
instructions. Allow at least 6 minutes to dry.
9. Cut the urethane applicator tip to specification.
10. NOTE:
- Use either a high-ratio, electric or battery-operated caulk gun that will apply the urethane with less
effort and continuous bead.
- The windshield glass must be positioned within 10 minutes of applying the urethane adhesive.
Apply a uniform bead of urethane adhesive on top of the existing trimmed urethane adhesive bead
on the pinch weld. Make sure that all gaps in the urethane adhesive are smoothed into one continuous bead starting
and ending at the bottom of the windshield glass near the center.
11. WARNING: Do not drive vehicle until the urethane seal has cured. Follow urethane
manufacturer's curing directions. Inadequate or
incorrect curing of the urethane seal will adversely affect glass retention. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious injury to vehicle occupant(s).
CAUTION: Before positioning the windshield glass, open vehicle windows to prevent the air
pressure of closing doors from affecting the

Wiper Motor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Information and Instructions > Page 9360
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)
Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and Next Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.
The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse/Locations and Relay/Locations contains a view of the fuse/relay box, in which all fuses and
relays are identified. Fuse and Relay Numbering and Naming. Fuse and relay numbering and
naming follow the indication of the fuse panel cover.
Power Distribution

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagram that shows the complete details for
each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Component and Connector Information
C904
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

Information and Instructions > Page 9362
disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns
The illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will create
intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a physical
evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.
