HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP

Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Accessories and Optional Equipment >
Multifunction Electronic Control Modules <--> [General Module] > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 633
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for

point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.

Multifunction Electronic Control Modules: Description and Operation
The multifunction modules consist of the following:
^ air suspension control module
^ Driver Door Module (DDM)
^ Lighting Control Module (LCM)
The Air Suspension Control Module is linked to its own Data Link Connector (DLC). The air
suspension control module controls the air suspension and the Electronic Variable Orifice (EVO)
steering.
A microprocessor controls the air suspension system. The microprocessor and its supporting
hardware are contained in the air suspension control module. The air suspension control module
responds to signals from various sensors in the vehicle to maintain the programmed ride height
while the vehicle is either moving or stopped. The air suspension control module accomplishes this
by opening and closing solenoid valves to control the amount of air in the air spring(s). The air
suspension control module turns on the compressor by applying voltage through the compressor
relay to inflate the air spring(s) and raise the vehicle. The air suspension control module opens the
vent solenoid to lower the vehicle by releasing air from the air spring(s)in response to signal inputs
from the air suspension height sensor(s).
The Driver Door Module (DDM) is connected on the International Standards Organization (ISO)
9141 communication network. The DDM controls many functions including power windows, power
door locks and remote keyless entry.
The Lighting Control Module (LCM) is connected on the ISO 9141 communication network. The
LCM controls both interior and exterior lighting, back lighting, the battery saver and warning
chimes.
The LCM eliminates the electronic interference and heat associated with the thermoelectric devices
used previously. The LCM is a microprocessor- based module that controls several vehicle
subsystems. It responds to electrical input signals from various switches, sensors, and external
modules.
LCM subsystem functions include:
^ headlamps with autolamps
^ turn signal lamps/hazard flasher lamps
^ cornering lamps
^ parking lamps
^ courtesy lamps
^ demand lamps
^ battery saver
^ backlighting
^ interfacing with the Driver Door Module (DDM) via SCP for illuminated entry

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP

Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Power Door Lock Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 679
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))

Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 680
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Power Door Lock Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 681
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Power Mirror Control Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 707
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Power Mirror Control Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 708
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Power Mirror Control Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 709
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - HVAC > Blower Motor Relay > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 768
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - HVAC > Blower Motor Relay > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 769
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - HVAC > Blower Motor Relay > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 770
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

LACK OF A/C COOLING - RESTRICTED/REDUCED AIR FLOW THROUGH VENTS EVAPORATOR CORE ICING
FORD: 2000-2004 Crown Victoria
MERCURY: 2000-2004 Grand Marquis
This article supersedes TSB 03-22-8 to update the part information.
ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit a lack of A/C cooling and restricted/reduced air flow through the A/C
vents typically during extended idling conditions. This may be due to extended A/C compressor
operation (lack of compressor cycling) causing icing of the evaporator core surface.
ACTION
To service, first verify that the A/C clutch relay is operating properly and that the contacts are not
sticking closed. The A/C clutch relay contacts may stick closed due to arcing. The arcing may be
caused by transient voltage from the A/C clutch field coil when the relay contacts open to turn off
the AC clutch. Refer to the following Service Procedure.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Monitor the powertrain control module (PCM) PIDS ACCS, WAC and high/low side refrigerant
pressures. If WAC PID reads OFF, and the A/C compressor continuously operates, check for A/C
Relay contacts sticking closed.
a. A/C relay contacts that are sticking closed will have continuity between relay pins 30 and 87. If
continuity is found replace the A/C relay (2000-2002 FOAZ-14N089-A or 2003-2004
F5TZ-14N089-B). It will also be necessary to add a 400V 1.0A Diode (E8DZ-10C912-A) from circuit
57 BK to circuit 321 GY/WH. (SEE DIODE INSTALLATION BELOW).
b. If the A/C relay contacts are not sticking closed, then do not continue with this TSB. Perform
normal diagnosis using wiring diagrams and Workshop Manual procedures.
2. If the ACCS PID reads ON with low side refrigerant pressures below 20 PSI, diagnose for a
faulty cycling switch or shorted circuits.
NOTE
FOR 2003-2004 MODEL YEAR, CYCLING OF THE A/C COMPRESSOR IS CONTROLLED BY A
THERMISTOR SIGNAL TO THE PCM. THE LOW PRESSURE CYCLING SWITCH IS ONLY FOR
SYSTEM PROTECTION.
a. On 2000-2002 model years the low pressure cycling switch was used to control system
operation. For these model years replacement of the low pressure cycling with one that has a
higher set point can also reduce the potential for ice build up on the evaporator core. For
2000-2002 model years only, replace the white A/C low pressure cycling switch with black low
pressure cycling switch (F5VY-19E561-A) per Workshop Manual Section 412-03.

Compressor Clutch Relay: Description and Operation
Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-Off
The wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C clutch relay) is normally
open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC Module and the A/C
clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for some applications, this
message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is requested, the PCM will
check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW), A/C Cycling Switch (ACCS)).
If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as coolant
temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the Wide Open Throttle A/C
(WAC) output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.

With the use of a microcontroller, the Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC) module
analyzes input from the following major sources:
- temperature, function and blower selection (made by the vehicle occupants)
- in-vehicle temperature sensor
- ambient temperature sensor
- sunload sensor
- vehicle speed sensor
- engine coolant temperature sensor
Using these inputs, the microcontroller determines the correct conditions for the following outputs:
- A/C clutch engagement
- blower speed
- air temperature blend door position
- floor/panel door position
- panel/defrost door position
- air inlet duct door position

System Response
a If engine coolant temperature fails to reach 50°C (122°F) after 3-1/2 minutes of operation, the
heater blower motor speed will increase and the windshield defroster door will shift from defrost
position to floor position.
b The A/C system is enabled by the EATC control assembly, but final control of the A/C
compressor clutch is determined by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) through the use of a
normally open clutch control relay. The A/C clutch can be shut off (or kept off) for several seconds
at engine start-up, during high engine speeds, during low engine idle conditions (approximately 200
rpm below idle specs) and when the engine coolant temperature sensor reading exceeds
approximately 120°C (248°F).

The A/C blower motor speed control is located on the A/C evaporator housing, in the engine
compartment.
- The function of the A/C blower motor speed control is to convert low power signals from the
electronic automatic temperature control module to a high current, variable ground feed for the
blower motor.
- Blower motor speed is infinitely variable and is controlled by the electronic automatic temperature
control module software.
- A delay function provides a gradual increase or decrease in blower motor speed under all
conditions.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Exterior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 863
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Exterior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 864
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Exterior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 865
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Illuminated Entry Module <-->
[Interior Lighting Module] > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 902
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Illuminated Entry Module <-->
[Interior Lighting Module] > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 903
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

[Interior Lighting Module] > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 904
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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 04-21-07 to update the service procedure and to clarify this TSB
applies to all powertrain control module (PCM) reprogramming, with or without PCM replacement.
ISSUE PCMs may need to be reprogrammed or replaced as part of a repair. Additional vehicle
concerns may be caused if proper programming procedures are not followed.
ACTION Use the following procedure to reprogram PCMs.
Verify repair after reprogramming.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
PRELIMINARY STEPS - Existing PCM
Reprogramming Or PCM Replacement
1. Connect a battery charger to vehicle.
2. Use WDS if available.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Powertrain Control Module <--> [Engine Control Module] > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Engine Controls - General PCM Programming Procedures > Page 944
a. Make sure WDS is docked or attached to vehicle battery supply.
b. Verify WDS software is at the latest release level.
3. If there is a communication error, attempt to communicate with a different diagnostic scan tool,
such as NGS, NGS+, VCM or another WDS.
NOTE
IF COMMUNICATION STILL CANNOT BE ESTABLISHED, VOLTAGE DROP PCM POWERS,
GROUNDS, AND CHECK VREF.
PCM REPLACEMENT - STANDARD
1. Open WDS vehicle session with original PCM installed in vehicle. If the original PCM is not able
to communicate, to open a session, proceed to the Blank Path Programming procedure.
2. Install the new PCM.
NOTE
IF WDS NEEDS TO BE USED ON A DIFFERENT VEHICLE WHILE THE NEW PCM IS BEING
INSTALLED, PLACE THE VEHICLE SESSION ON "HOLD" FOR USE LATER.
3. Attempt to start the vehicle.
4. Run KOEO Self Test to check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) in PCM.
5. Check for DTC P0602/P0605/P1639.
a. If DTC P0602/P0605/P1639 is present then Programmable Module Installation (PMI) procedure
must be performed. Use the WDS session opened at Step 1.
b. If DTC P0602/P0605/P1639 is not present, then verify Programmable Parameters are properly
set such as tire size, axle ratio, etc.
6. Check for DTC B2900.
a. If DTC B2900 is present, perform PMI on the ABS module. Do Not replace ABS module for this
procedure when directed. You may be prompted to enter the 9 lines of PCM As-Built data during
this procedure.
b. If DTC B2900 is not present proceed to Step 7.
7. Diagnose all other DTCs following normal diagnostic procedures.
REPROGRAMMING DOES NOT COMPLETE OR FAILS - Existing PCM Reprogramming Or PCM
Replacement
1. Verify all cables are properly connected.
2. Verify vehicle battery is at proper charge level.
3. Verify scan tool battery is at proper charge level.
4. Attempt reprogramming procedure again.
5. If reprogramming still does not complete properly, save current session, reboot WDS, open
previous session, and attempt reprogramming again.
6. If reprogramming still does not complete or you are now unable to communicate with PCM,
proceed to the Blank Path Programming procedure.
BLANK PATH PROGRAMMING - Existing PCM Reprogramming Or PCM Replacement
Perform this procedure prior to PCM replacement if a vehicle comes in with a PCM that will not
communicate, or if steps earlier in this TSB directed you to this procedure.
1. Verify powers and grounds to PCM by loading and voltage drop testing circuits.
2. Follow Pin Point Tests to verify network integrity.
NOTE
IGNITION MUST REMAIN IN THE OFF POSITION UNTIL PERFORMING STEP 8. DO NOT

Powertrain Control Module: Reset Procedure
Flash Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory-Flash EEPROM
Flash Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory is contained in an Integrated
Circuit (IC) internal to the PCM. The EEPROM contains the vehicle strategy including calibration
information specific to the vehicle. The IC has the capability to be reprogrammed or reflashed. This
is described below by the Flash EEPROM Procedure.
As part of the calibration there is an area referred to as the Vehicle Identification (VID) Block. The
VID block must be programmed when replacing the PCM and is described under Programming the
VID Block for a Replacement PCM. The VID block is an existing PCM can also be tailored to
accommodate various hardware changes made to the vehicle since production. This is described
under Making Changes to the VID Block and also under the FLASH EEPROM Procedure. The VID
block contains many items used by the strategy for a variety of functions. Some of these items
include the VID number, octane adjust, fuel octane. fuel type, vehicle speed limit, tire size, axle
ratio, the presence of speed control, four wheel drive and manual versus non manual shift on the
fly. Only items applicable to vehicle hardware and supported by the VID block will be displayed on
the scan tool.
When changing items in the VID block, the strategy will place range limits on certain items such as
tire and axle ratio. The VID block is also limited to the number of times to be reconfigured. When
this limit is reached, the scan tool will display a message indicating the need to reflash the PCM to
reset the VID block. This is accomplished by the Flash EEPROM Procedure.
Programming the VID Block for a Replacement PCM
A new PCM will contain the latest strategy and calibration level for a particular vehicle. However,
the VID block will be blank and in need of programming. There are two 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 will be performed if the old PCM is capable of communicating. This is done
by the use of the scan tool to retrieve data from the old PCM before removing from the vehicle. The
stored data can now be downloaded to the new PCM after replacing. This same process can also
be accomplished during the Flash EEPROM Procedure described below.
Manual data entry must be performed if the old module is damaged and not capable of
communicating. Remove and replace the old PCM. Contact the "AS BUILT" data center by fax for
the data needed to manually update the VID block with the scan tool. Contact the center ONLY if
the old PCM cannot be used. The following information will need to be faxed in: dealer name,
dealer P & A code, dealer phone number, dealer fax number, technician's name, VIN and module
being programmed. The necessary VID block data will then be faxed back. Enter the vehicle data
string provided by the "AS BUILT" data center. Refer to the Worldwide Diagnostic System users
manual for details.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP

Instructions > Page 975
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

Instructions > Page 976
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))

Instructions > Page 977
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation
The Fuel Pump (FP) is a PCM output signal that is used to control the electric fuel pump. With the
electronic EC power relay contacts closed, vehicle power (VPWR) is sent to the coil of the fuel
pump relay. For electric fuel pump operation, the PCM grounds the FP circuit, which is connected
to the coil of the fuel pump relay. This energizes the coil and closes the contacts of the relay,
sending B+ through the FP PWR circuit to the electric fuel pump. When the ignition key is turned
on, the electric fuel pump runs for about one second, but is then turned off by the PCM if engine
rotation is not detected.
For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay (Figure
48) is wired into the fuel pump ground circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the
normally closed position, there is no extra resistance in the ground circuit for high speed operation.
For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump (LFP) circuit, which
opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, the fuel pump ground circuit now passes
through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
The air bag Electronic Crash Sensor (ECS) module performs the following functions:
^ signals the inflators to deploy the air bags in the event of a deployable crash.
^ monitors the air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) for faults.
^ illuminates the air bag indicator if a fault is detected.
^ flashes the air bag indicator to indicate the Lamp Fault Code (LFC) detected.
^ communicates through the Data Link Connector (DLC) the current or historical Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTCs).
^ signals the Lighting Control Module (LCM) to activate a chime if the air bag indicator is not
available and another SRS fault exists.
NOTE: The safing sensor is internal to the ECS and is not serviced separately.
The ECS monitors the SRS for possible faults. If a fault is detected while the ignition switch is in the
RUN position, the ECS will illuminate the air bag indicator located in the instrument cluster.
When the ignition is cycled (turned off and then on), the air bag indicator will flash the two-digit
LFC. The air bag indicator will flash the LFC five times, then it will remain illuminated for the rest of
the key cycle. The ECS will also communicate the current and historical DTCs the DLC, using the
scan tool. If the air bag indicator does not function, and the system detects a fault condition, the
ECS will signal the LCM to activate an audible chime. The chime is a series of five sets of five tone
bursts. If the chime is heard, the SRS and the air bag indicator require repair.
LFCs are prioritized. If two or more faults occur at the same time, the fault having the highest
priority will be displayed first. After the fault has been corrected, the next highest priority fault will be
displayed.
The ECS includes a backup power supply. This feature provides sufficient backup power to deploy
the air bags in the event that the ignition circuit is damaged in a collision before the safing and air
bag sensors close. The backup power supply will deplete its stored energy approximately 1 minute
after the battery ground cable is disconnected.

ISSUE
The above vehicles have a "Belt Minder" feature that is supplemental to the safety belt warning
function. This feature provides additional reminders to the driver that the driver's safety belt is
unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning light on the
instrument cluster.
ACTION
Some customers may wish to have the Belt Minder deactivated or reactivated. This can be done by
performing the deactivation procedure in the Owner Guide (section on Safety Restraints, Belt
Minder) or by using the Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS) tool and performing the following
Service Procedure.

Generator Load
The Generator Load Input (GLI) circuit is used by the PCM to determine generator load on the
engine. As generator load increases the PCM will adjust idle speed accordingly. This strategy helps
reduce idle surges due to switching high current loads. The GLI signal is sent to the PCM from the
voltage regulator/generator. The signal is a variable frequency duty cycle. Normal operating
frequency is 40 - 250 Hz. Normal signal DC voltage (referenced to ground) is between 1.5 V (low
generator load) and 10.5 V (high generator load).

Starter Relay: Description and Operation
STARTING SYSTEM
The starting system consists of the:
- starter motor.
- ignition switch.
- digital transmission range (TR) sensor.
- mini ISO relay.
Starter Motor The starter motor:
- is a permanent-magnet, gear reduction, 12V DC motor.
- has an integral starter solenoid.
Starter Relay The starter relay:
- is a mini ISO relay.
- switches power to the starter solenoid to engage the starter motor when it receives a START
signal from the ignition switch.
Normal Operation
When the digital TR sensor recognizes that the vehicle is in either PARK or NEUTRAL and the
ignition switch is placed in the START position, it sends a signal to the mini ISO relay that, in turn,
sends a voltage signal to the starter solenoid, which will engage the starter motor to crank the
engine at a speed fast enough to permit the engine to start.

Suspension Control Module: Description and Operation
A microprocessor controls the air suspension system. The microprocessor and its supporting
hardware are contained in the air suspension control module. The air suspension control module
responds to signals from various sensors in the vehicle to maintain the programmed ride height
while the vehicle is either moving or stopped. The air suspension control module accomplishes this
by opening and closing solenoid valves to control the amount of air in the air spring(s). The air
suspension control module turns on the compressor by applying voltage through the compressor
relay to inflate the air spring(s) and raise the vehicle. The air suspension control module opens the
vent solenoid to lower the vehicle by releasing air from the air spring(s)in response to signal inputs
from the air suspension height sensor(s).

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Windows and Glass > Heated Glass Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1052
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Windows and Glass > Heated Glass Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1053
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Windows and Glass > Heated Glass Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1054
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP

Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Windows and Glass > Power Window Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1084
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Windows and Glass > Power Window Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1085
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Windows and Glass > Power Window Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1086
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
Engine Coolant Temperature
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes
with temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases,
and 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.
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The ECT measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The sensor is threaded into an engine
coolant passage. The ECT sensor is similar in construction to the IAT sensor.

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
The Cylinderhead Temperature Sensor:
^ is mounted into the wall of the cylinder head and is not connected to any coolant passages.
^ sends a signal to the powertrain control module indicating the cylinder head temperature. If the temperature exceeds approximately 121°C (250°F), the powertrain control module disables
four fuel injectors at a time. The powertrain control module will alternate which fuel injectors are
disabled every 32 engine cycles. The four cylinders that are not being fuel injected act as air
pumps to aid in cooling the engine.
- If the temperature exceeds approximately 166°C (3300 F), the powertrain control module disables
all of the fuel injectors until the engine temperature drops below approximately 154°C (310°F).
^ If the engine reaches critical temperature, the following happens: The coolant temperature gauge pointer will read fully hot at approximately 121 CC (250°F).

ISSUE On some vehicles equipped with Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC), there
may be concerns where the blower motor may stay on high after desired temperature is reached,
where temperature control does not maintain setpoint, and/or where the temperature gradually
wanders away from the setpoint.
ACTION Refer to the following Service Procedure to aid in normal diagnostics of the EATC system.
OTHER APPLICABLE ARTICLES: NONE WARRANTY STATUS: INFORMATION ONLY OASIS
CODES: 208000, 208100, 208200, 208300, 208999
Service Procedure
If no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are obtained during the EATC/DATC module self-test, refer
to the following diagnostic Service Procedure.
1. Inspect the in-car temperature sensor aspirator hose for proper connections at both ends.
2. Inspect the aspirator hose for kinks or cuts.
3. On applicable vehicles, verify that the in-car temperature sensor is attached and firmly seated to
the dash panel. Some vehicles mount the sensor on two pins located on the dash panel. The
sensor may be mounted onto the pins loosely and not seated firmly against the dash panel,
causing a gap in the sensor-to-dash panel seal and allowing warm air from behind the instrument
panel to be drawn across the sensor.
4. Explorer/Mountaineer Only: Check the mounting fasteners to verify that the gap in the fastener is
facing horizontally (i.e., at 3 or 9 o'clock). If the gap in the fastener is facing vertically (i.e., 6 or 12
o'clock), the sensor will require greater pressure to seat firmly against the instrument panel.
NOTE:
A LOOSELY MOUNTED IN-CAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR, OR ASPIRATOR HOSE WITH
CUTS OR KINKS MAY CAUSE SYSTEM TO BE UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SETPOINT
TEMPERATURE OR SETPOINT IS REACHED BUT SYSTEM GRADUALLY COOLS.
EATC/DATC Aspiration Test
This test will determine if the in-car temperature sensor is receiving enough aspiration. A lack of
aspiration may result in an incorrect in-car temperature sensor reading and may cause the
EATC/DATC system to act erratically and/or EATC/DATC blowing too cold or too warm.
1. Cut a piece of toilet tissue or tissue paper about 2.5 x 2.5 cm (1" x 1").
NOTE:
PAPER TOWEL WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY.
2. Turn key on, fan speed to HIGH BLOWER, and select PANEL or VENT mode.

3. Place the piece of tissue paper over the aspirator grille opening. If aspiration (suction) is present,
the tissue paper should stick to the grille.
4. Slowly lower the fan speed to LOW BLOWER. The tissue should continue sticking to the grille.
5. Turn the fan speed to HIGH BLOWER, then to OFF. Tissue paper should fall off the grille.
6. If the tissue paper falls off the aspirator grille when the blower fan is on in any speed:
a. Verify that the aspirator hose is properly connected at both ends. Check the aspirator hose for
kinks or cuts.
b. Verify that the in-car temperature sensor is properly installed/sealed against the dash panel.
c. Repair as required.
7. On vehicles equipped with a coolant control valve, check for proper operation of the coolant
control valve. Visually inspect vacuum hoses for kinks, leaks, or disconnects.
8. Temperature differentials between panel/floor/defrost vents in mix modes and temperature
setpoints that are not at full cool or full heat may exist and are considered normal and not
repairable.

LACK OF A/C COOLING - RESTRICTED/REDUCED AIR FLOW THROUGH VENTS EVAPORATOR CORE ICING
FORD: 2000-2004 Crown Victoria
MERCURY: 2000-2004 Grand Marquis
This article supersedes TSB 03-22-8 to update the part information.
ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit a lack of A/C cooling and restricted/reduced air flow through the A/C
vents typically during extended idling conditions. This may be due to extended A/C compressor
operation (lack of compressor cycling) causing icing of the evaporator core surface.
ACTION
To service, first verify that the A/C clutch relay is operating properly and that the contacts are not
sticking closed. The A/C clutch relay contacts may stick closed due to arcing. The arcing may be
caused by transient voltage from the A/C clutch field coil when the relay contacts open to turn off
the AC clutch. Refer to the following Service Procedure.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Monitor the powertrain control module (PCM) PIDS ACCS, WAC and high/low side refrigerant
pressures. If WAC PID reads OFF, and the A/C compressor continuously operates, check for A/C
Relay contacts sticking closed.
a. A/C relay contacts that are sticking closed will have continuity between relay pins 30 and 87. If
continuity is found replace the A/C relay (2000-2002 FOAZ-14N089-A or 2003-2004
F5TZ-14N089-B). It will also be necessary to add a 400V 1.0A Diode (E8DZ-10C912-A) from circuit
57 BK to circuit 321 GY/WH. (SEE DIODE INSTALLATION BELOW).
b. If the A/C relay contacts are not sticking closed, then do not continue with this TSB. Perform
normal diagnosis using wiring diagrams and Workshop Manual procedures.
2. If the ACCS PID reads ON with low side refrigerant pressures below 20 PSI, diagnose for a
faulty cycling switch or shorted circuits.
NOTE
FOR 2003-2004 MODEL YEAR, CYCLING OF THE A/C COMPRESSOR IS CONTROLLED BY A
THERMISTOR SIGNAL TO THE PCM. THE LOW PRESSURE CYCLING SWITCH IS ONLY FOR
SYSTEM PROTECTION.
a. On 2000-2002 model years the low pressure cycling switch was used to control system
operation. For these model years replacement of the low pressure cycling with one that has a
higher set point can also reduce the potential for ice build up on the evaporator core. For
2000-2002 model years only, replace the white A/C low pressure cycling switch with black low
pressure cycling switch (F5VY-19E561-A) per Workshop Manual Section 412-03.

Air Conditioning Pressure Sensor
Typical Air Conditioning Pressure Sensor
A/C Pressure Sensor Output Voltage VS Pressure Chart
The Air Conditioning Pressure (A/C pressure) sensor is located in the high pressure (discharge)
side of the air conditioning A/C system. The A/C pressure sensor provides a voltage signal to the
Powertrain Control Module (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.

HVAC > Component Information > Description and Operation > A/C Pressure Sensor > Page 1305
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation A/C Pressure Switch
A/C Cycling Switch
The A/C cycling switch is mounted on a Schrader valve-type fitting on the suction
accumulator/driver.
- 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 or low side pressure to control the operation of the A/C cycling switch.
- The electrical switch contacts open when the suction pressure drops to 152-193 kPa (22-28 psi).
- The contacts close when the suction pressure rises to 276-324 kPa (40-47 psi).
- When the A/C cycling switch contacts close, the A/C clutch field coil is energized.
- When the A/C cycling switch contacts open, the A/C clutch field coil is deenergized and
compressor operation stops.
- The A/C cycling switch will control the A/C evaporator core pressure at a point where the plate/fin
surface temperature will be maintained slightly above freezing.
- This prevents icing of the A/C evaporator core and blockage of airflow.
- It is not necessary to discharge the refrigerant system to remove the A/C cycling switch.
Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-Off
Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-Off
Mustang
The Wide Open Throttle Air Conditioning Cut-off (WAC) output is used by the PCM to disengage
the A/C clutch when A/C compressor operation is not desirable. Under normal conditions, with the
A/C off, the PCM will ground the WAC output, which opens the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off
relay inside the constant control relay module. When the A/C demand switch is turned on, and the
A/C cycling switch and A/C high pressure switch high pressure contacts are closed, voltage is
supplied to the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts and to the ACCS circuit. The voltage on the ACCS
circuit indicates to the PCM that A/C is requested. The PCM will then verify that A/C clutch
operation is desirable (for example, engine not cranking, overheated or not at WOT). If A/C clutch
operation is desirable, the PCM will adjust idle speed as necessary and "unground" the WAC
output. This closes the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay and allows voltage to be supplied to
the A/C clutch.
All Others
For these applications, the wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C clutch
relay) is normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC
Module and the A/C clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for
some applications, this message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is
requested, the PCM will check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW),
ACCS). If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as
coolant temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the WAC output, closing
the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.
Air Conditioning Cycling Switch PCM Inputs
Air Conditioning Cycling Switch
The Air Conditioning (A/C) cycling switch may be wired to either the ACCS or ACPSW PCM input.
When the A/C cycling switch opens, the PCM will turn off the A/C clutch. For information on the
specific function of the A/C cycling switch, refer to Climate Control system.
The A/C Cycling Switch (ACCS) circuit to the PCM provides a voltage signal which indicates when
the A/C is requested. When the A/C demand switch is turned on, and both the A/C cycling switch
and the high pressure contacts of the A/C high pressure switch (if equipped and in circuit) are
closed, voltage is supplied to the ACCS circuit at the PCM. Refer to the applicable Wiring Diagram
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.
For additional information, refer to PCM outputs, wide open throttle air conditioning cutoff.
NOTE: The Town Car, Continental, LS6/LS8 and Windstar 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 BUS + and BUS - (SCP) communication.

Air Conditioning High Pressure Switch
The A/C pressure cut-off switch is used to interrupt A/C compressor operation in the event of high
system discharge pressures.
- The A/C pressure cut-off switch is mounted on a Schrader valve-type fitting on the A/C
compressor to condenser discharge line.
- A valve depressor, located inside the threaded end of the A/C pressure cut-off switch, presses on
the Schrader valve stem.
- This allows the A/C pressure cut-off switch to monitor the compressor discharge pressure.
- When the compressor discharge pressure rises to approximately 2896 kPa (420 psi), the switch
contacts open, disengaging the A/C compressor.
- When the pressure drops to approximately 1,724 kPa (250 psi), the contacts close to allow
operation of the A/C compressor.
- It is not necessary to discharge the refrigerant system to remove the A/C pressure cut-off switch.

Brake Pedal Position Switch: Description and Operation
Brake Pedal Position Switch
Typical Brake Pedal Position Switch
The Brake Pedal Position (BPP) switch is used by the PCM to disengage the transmission torque
converter clutch and on some applications as an input to the idle speed control for idle quality. On
most applications the BPP switch is hard wired to the PCM and supplies battery positive voltage
(B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied. On other applications the BPP switch signal is
broadcast over the SCP link via another module to be received by the PCM.
On applications where the BPP switch is hard wired to the PCM and stoplamp circuit, if all
stoplamp bulbs are burned out (open), high voltage is present at the PCM due to a pull-up resistor
in the PCM. This provides fail-safe operation in the event the circuit to the stoplamp bulbs has
failed.

Mass Air Flow Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow Sensor
Typical Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The Mass Air Flow (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 ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. If the hot wire
electronic sensing element must be replaced, then the entire assembly must be replaced.
Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.
The current required to maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the air mass 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.
Diagram Of Air Flow Through Throttle Body Containing MAF Sensor Hot And Cold Wire (and IAT
Sensor Where Applicable) Terminals
Some MAF sensors have Integrated Bypass Technology (IBT) with an integrated Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) sensor. The present applications with IBT are: Focus, Escort (4V), 2.0 L
Contour/Mystique, Cougar, Taurus/Sable, Windstar, Explorer/Mountaineer and E-Series.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly.

Camshaft Position Sensor
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor
identifies when piston No. 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) and used for synchronizing the firing of sequential fuel injectors. The Coil
On Plug (COP) Ignition applications also use the CMP signal to select the proper ignition coil to
fire. The input circuit to the PCM is referred to as the CMP input or circuit.
Typical Hall-Effect Sensor

Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
Typical Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
The Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch is an input to the PCM indicating the clutch pedal position
and, in some manual transmission applications, both the clutch pedal engagement position and the
gear shift position. The PCM provides a 5-volt reference (VREF) signal to the CPP switch and/or a
Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (on the CPP signal line). If the CPP switch (either or both CPP
and PNP switches are closed) is closed, indicating the clutch pedal is engaged and the shift lever is
in the NEUTRAL position, the output voltage (5 volts) from the PCM is grounded through the signal
return line to the PCM, and there is 1 volt or less. One volt or less indicates there is a reduced load
on the engine. If the CPP switch (or PNP switch on vehicle or both CPP and PNP switches open on
the vehicle) is open, meaning the clutch pedal is disengaged (all systems) and the shift lever is not
in NEUTRAL position (PNP switch systems), the input on the CPP signal to the PCM will be
approximately 5 volts. Then, the 5-volt signal input at the PCM will indicate a load on the engine.
The PCM uses the load information in mass air flow and fuel calculations.

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
Engine Coolant Temperature
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes
with temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases,
and 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.
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The ECT measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The sensor is threaded into an engine
coolant passage. The ECT sensor is similar in construction to the IAT sensor.

Crankshaft Position Sensor (Integrated Ignition Systems)
Three Different Types Of Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensors
The Crankshaft Position (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 Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The trigger wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced 10 degrees apart with one empty space for
a missing tooth. The 6.8L ten cylinder pulse wheel has 39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9
degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring the trigger wheel, the CKP indicates
crankshaft position and speed information to the PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP 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 fixed reference.

Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor
Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
The Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) sensor is a diaphragm strain gauge device in which resistance
changes with pressure. The electrical resistance of a strain gauge increases as pressure
increases, and decreases as pressure decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop
across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to pressure.
Strain gauge 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 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 FRP sensor measures the pressure of the fuel near the fuel injectors. This signal is used by
the PCM to adjust the fuel injector pulse width and meter fuel to each engine combustion cylinder.
The Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) sensor senses the pressure difference between the fuel rail and the
intake manifold. The return fuel line to the fuel tank has been deleted in this type of fuel system.
The differential fuel/intake manifold pressure together with measured fuel temperature provides an
indication of the fuel vapors in the fuel rail. Both differential pressure and temperature feedback
signals are used to control the speed of the fuel pump. The speed of the fuel pump sustains fuel
rail pressure which preserve 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.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Intake Air Temperature Sensor
Intake Air Temperature (IAT)
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensors are thermistor devices in which resistance changes with
temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and
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.
Diagram Of Flow Through Throttle Body (Containing IAT Sensor Wire Where Applicable)
Some MAF sensors have Integrated Bypass Technology (IBT) with an integrated Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) sensor. The present applications with IBT are: Focus, Escort (4V), 2.0 L
Contour/Mystique, Cougar, Taurus/Sable, Windstar, Explorer/Mountaineer and E-Series.
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 MAF.
The IAT sensor provides a quicker temperature change response time than the ECT sensor.
Supercharged 5.4L Lightning vehicles use (2) IAT sensors. Both sensors operate as described
above. However, one is located before the supercharger at the air cleaner for standard OBD II/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 border-line spark and to help determine intercooler efficiency.

Oil Temperature Sensor For ECM: Description and Operation
Engine Oil Temperature
The Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with
temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases and
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.
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The EOT measures the temperature of the engine oil. The EOT sensor is similar in construction to
the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor. On some applications, EOT input to the PCM is
used to initiate a soft engine shutdown. This prevents engine damage from occurring as a result of
high oil temperature.

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

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

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

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

Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 1487
In this example, the most likely cause of DTCs P0135 and P0155 (with no other DTCs present)
would be a concern with Splice "B" (refer to Figure 2).
NOTE

DEPEND ON THE CIRCUIT NUMBER FOR THE VEHICLE UNDER REPAIR. NOTE ALSO THAT
THIS FIGURE IS NOT INTENDED TO SHOW ALL SPLICES/CONNECTIONS ON ALL
VEHICLES. OTHER EEC CIRCUITS, NOT SHOWN, MAY ALSO BE SPLICED IN WITH THE
CIRCUITS SHOWN.

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 1488
4. View H025 PID data carefully: NGS PIDs for HO2S sensors that do not exist (with certain
exhaust configurations) will show a value of "0" volts (refer to Figures 3 and 4).
In this example, the vehicle (equipped with a 4-cylinder engine) has one upstream and one
downstream HO2S. Notice that the NGS (scan tool) display shows two upstream and two
downstream HO2S PIDs, and that the "unused" HO2S sensor PIDs display "0" volts.
5. H025 sensors measure oxygen in the exhaust, not fuel: The exhaust gas condition reported by
the HO2S sensor is based on the presence of oxygen in the exhaust, not the presence of unburned
fuel.
Example: In the event of an ignition-related misfire, you might expect a rich HO2S reading, due to
the amount of unburned fuel in the exhaust system. However, there is also a large amount of
unburned oxygen, since no combustion took place in the misfiring cylinder. Since the H025 senses
oxygen only, it would report a lean condition in this particular situation.
F2.) Tips Related to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H025) Monitor
1. OBD II Response Rate Monitor: The OBD II
Response Rate Monitor (P0133/P0153) is only run at vehicle speeds between approximately 50-95
km/h (30-60 mph), during steady-state conditions. The test lasts approximately 6 seconds.
Therefore, P0133/P0153 cannot be diagnosed at idle in the repair bay.
2. Do not compare H025 switch rate - Bank-to-Bank or vehicle-to-vehicle: Different H025 switch
rates, from Bank-to-Bank, are considered normal. The H025 switch rate, from one Bank to the
other, should not be compared as a gauge of the H025's ability to switch/react. The PCM is
continuously adjusting spark and fuel in reaction to engine operating conditions (rpm, load, air flow,
throttle angle, etc.). The PCM is also continuously adapting to certain conditions (customer driving
habits, engine and component wear, etc.).
F3.) Tips Related to Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
1. Determining catalyst efficiency/switch ratio:
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 1489
The upstream H025 sensors will have a high switch frequency, due to normal closed loop fuel
control. With an efficient catalyst, the downstream H025 will have a low switch frequency. The
switch ratio is determined by dividing the number of downstream switches by the number of
upstream switches over a given period of time. As the catalyst ages (or if the catalyst is damaged
or contaminated), the downstream switches will increase. When the downstream switch rate
crosses a threshold value (approximately 0.75 switch ratio), a code is stored (P0420 and/or P0430)
and the MIL illuminates (refer to Figures 5 and 6).
NOTE
IF A CATALYST IS DETERMINED TO HAVE LOW EFFICIENCY AND REQUIRES
REPLACEMENT, REPLACEMENT OF THE DOWNSTREAM H025 SENSORS WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
2. Use care in handling H025 sensors: In the event of catalyst replacement, use care in the
handling of H025 sensors to prevent damage or contamination. Do not use power tools in the
removal or installation of sensors. Use a 22mm wrench or crow foot to remove and install H025
sensors; do not use slotted sockets, as these sockets may damage wires. H025 sensors should be
torqued to 41 +/- 5 N.m (30 +/- 4 lb-ft).
3. Do not replace downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22) for DTCs P0420 and/or P0430:
When diagnosing a vehicle with a customer concern of MIL On and DTCs P0420/P0430 in
continuous memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22). Damaged
or malfunctioning downstream HO2S sensors will not cause these DTCs to be set. Always verify
the vehicle concern, then perform the pinpoint diagnostics in the appropriate PC/ED Service
Manual.

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

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.

JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.

A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information >

circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.

The following 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.

Heated Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation
Heated Oxygen Sensor
The Heated Oxygen Sensor (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 low voltage signal less than 0.4 volt. A low concentration of
oxygen (rich air/fuel ratio) produces a high 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.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
Embedded with the sensing element is the HO2S heater. The heating element heats the sensor to
temperatures of 800°C (1400°F). At approximately 300°C (600°F) the engine can enter closed loop
operation. The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater and the PCM will complete the ground
when the proper conditions occur. For model year 1998 a new HO2S heater and heater control
system are installed on some vehicles. The high power heater reaches closed loop fuel control
temperatures. The use of this heater requires that the HO2S heater control be duty cycled, to
prevent damage to the heater. The 6 ohm design is not interchangeable with new style 3.3 ohm
heater.
The HO2S:
^ has the ability to create a voltage signal dependent on exhaust oxygen content.
^ provides feedback information to the powertrain control module used to calculate fuel delivery.
The rear HO2S:
^ monitors oxygen content after it flows through the catalytic converter.
^ provides a voltage to the powertrain control module used to calculate catalytic converter integrity.

on the engine by adjusting the idle rpm and preventing engine stall during parking maneuvers.
Also, the PSP switch signals the PCM to adjust transmission Electronic Pressure Control (EPC)
pressure during the increased engine load, for example during parking maneuvers.

Differential Pressure Feedback 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 sensor receives this signal through two 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 aluminum 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 (TP) Sensor
The Throttle Position (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
three-blade electrical connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases corrosion
resistance on terminals and increases connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on the
throttle body. As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, four operating conditions are
determined by the PCM from the TP. Those 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), and throttle angle rate.
The TP sensor
^ sends the powertrain control module a signal indicating the throttle plate angle.

Digital Transmission Range Sensor: Description and Operation
Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
Typical Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
The Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch is an input to the PCM indicating the clutch pedal position
and, in some manual transmission applications, both the clutch pedal engagement position and the
gear shift position. The PCM provides a 5-volt reference (VREF) signal to the CPP switch and/or a
Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (on the CPP signal line). If the CPP switch (either or both CPP
and PNP switches are closed) is closed, indicating the clutch pedal is engaged and the shift lever is
in the NEUTRAL position, the output voltage (5 volts) from the PCM is grounded through the signal
return line to the PCM, and there is 1 volt or less. One volt or less indicates there is a reduced load
on the engine. If the CPP switch (or PNP switch on vehicle or both CPP and PNP switches open on
the vehicle) is open, meaning the clutch pedal is disengaged (all systems) and the shift lever is not
in NEUTRAL position (PNP switch systems), the input on the CPP signal to the PCM will be
approximately 5 volts. Then, the 5-volt signal input at the PCM will indicate a load on the engine.
The PCM uses the load information in mass air flow and fuel calculations.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.

Information and Instructions > Page 1550
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

Information and Instructions > Page 1551
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1552
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Vehicle Speed Sensor
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (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.

Pressure Feedback Exhaust Sensor: Description and Operation
Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor
Differential Pressure Feedback 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 sensor receives this signal through two 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 aluminum 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.

Mass Air Flow Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow Sensor
Typical Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The Mass Air Flow (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 ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. If the hot wire
electronic sensing element must be replaced, then the entire assembly must be replaced.
Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.
The current required to maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the air mass 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.

Temperature (IAT) sensor. The present applications with IBT are: Focus, Escort (4V), 2.0 L
Contour/Mystique, Cougar, Taurus/Sable, Windstar, Explorer/Mountaineer and E-Series.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly.

Fuel Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Engine Fuel Temperature Sensor
The Engine Fuel Temperature (EFT) sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes
with temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as temperature increases,
and increases as 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 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.
Engine Fuel Temperature (EFT) Sensor
The EFT sensor measures the temperature of the fuel near the fuel injectors. This signal is used by
the PCM to adjust the fuel injector pulse width and meter fuel to each engine combustion cylinder.

Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) Switch
Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) Switch
The Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch is used in conjunction with the electric fuel pump. The purpose
of the IFS switch is to shut off 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 Guide for the location of the IFS.

Throttle Position Sensor
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The Throttle Position (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
three-blade electrical connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases corrosion
resistance on terminals and increases connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on the
throttle body. As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, four operating conditions are
determined by the PCM from the TP. Those 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), and throttle angle rate.
The TP sensor
^ sends the powertrain control module a signal indicating the throttle plate angle.
^ is the main input to the powertrain control module from the driver.

Crankshaft Position Sensor (Integrated Ignition Systems)
Three Different Types Of Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensors
The Crankshaft Position (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 Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The trigger wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced 10 degrees apart with one empty space for
a missing tooth. The 6.8L ten cylinder pulse wheel has 39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9
degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring the trigger wheel, the CKP indicates
crankshaft position and speed information to the PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP 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 fixed reference.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to include vehicles, update model years, and
include a Lock Lever Kit Application Chart.
ISSUE The current door, decklid, ignition, and stowage locks cannot be serviced individually.
Current lock repair practice is to replace the entire lock set (-22050-) when one (1) or more locks
must be replaced. The release of this TSB and associated parts will allow replacement of any
individual malfunctioning lock (i.e., door lock, ignition lock, decklid lock, etc.) instead of replacing
the entire lockset. This TSB only applies to the 8-bit locks introduced in 1996. The 10-bit lock is not
affected.
ACTION Lock service packages have been released that contain all the necessary components to
re-pin a new lock cylinder to the customer's current key code. It allows the service community to
replace the individual lock cylinder on a given vehicle rather than replace the entire lockset. For
removal and installation procedures for all lock cylinders, refer to the following Service Procedure
for details.
NOTE
MOST MODELS BUILT DURING THE 1996 MODEL YEAR HAVE BOTH THE 10-BIT AND 8-BIT
LOCKS ON THEM. CHECK THE BUILD DATE OF THE VEHICLE TO ENSURE THE USE OF
THE CORRECT STYLE OF LOCK WHEN SERVICING ANY LOCK ON A 1996 VEHICLE. THE
10-BIT LOCKS ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THIS TSB AND MUST BE SERVICED BY REPLACING
THE COMPLETE LOCK SET. THE TWO STYLES ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE.

^ For ignition lock concerns, see appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 11-04 or
Workshop Manual, Section 211-04.
^ Other lock concerns, see appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 01-14A or Workshop
Manual, Section 501-14.
Obtain the lock service package for the vehicle being serviced by referring to the Part Number And
Usage Chart for correct application.
Determine the matching key cut depth at each key station (any of the following three methods may
be used to determine the key cut depth at each key station).
^ Use the OEM key code provided with the vehicle and look up the cut pattern in the key code table
(the selling dealer should have the key code or the customer may be able to provide it). A key code
table comes with the Rotunda Key Cutter (011-00215).
^ Use a "key decoder" to determine each cut height. A decoder may be included with the Rotunda
Key Cutter or can be ordered separately through Rotunda (Decoder Part Number 011-RMT61).
Equivalent decoders are commonly available through the locksmith industry. A key decoder is a
plate with an elongated slot corresponding to the different key cut heights.
^ Using the customers key, measure the key cut depth at each key station using Figure 2 of the
instruction sheet contained within each lock service package.
One of the steps in building a new lock is to insert the key and verify the tumblers are flush to the
cylinder. This step is clearly spelled out in the instruction sheet. This will ensure that the lock is
rebuilt properly before it's installed in the vehicle.
Each lock service package will include a unique detailed instruction sheet on how to re-pin that
individual lock cylinder. If further assistance is needed, call Ford Motor Company toll-free at (800)
826-4694 (direct dial at (313) 248-4200) between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM ET (all U.S. and Canadian
dealers only).
For technical questions regarding the lock service pack re-pinning process, call Ford Interior
Systems at (313) 337-3041.
A special service tool is required to properly install (crimp) the round dust covers on the door lock
cylinder. This special service tool has been provided through a special mailing to all North
American servicing dealers. If additional tools are required, contact Rotunda Tools at (800)
768-8632 (direct dial at (810) 574-2332, ask for OTC order desk) to purchase a new tool
(501-O51A).
NOTE
THE SPECIAL SERVICE TOOL (501-051A) IS NOW COMPATIBLE WITH TAURUS/SABLE

deployment, which can result in personal injury.
WARNING: Air bag modules with discolored or damaged trim covers must be replaced, not
repainted.
WARNING: Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for proper system operation. If a vehicle equipped
with an air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is involved in a collision, inspect the sensor
mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. Replace and properly position the sensor or
any other damaged Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components whether or not the air bag
is deployed.
WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply
must be depleted before repairing or replacing any front or side air bag Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) components and before servicing, replacing, adjusting or striking components near
the front or side air bag sensors, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers,
seats and hood latches. The side air bag sensors are located at or near the base of the B-pillar. To
deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one
minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).
Note: The narrow section of the keyhole in the lock gear must be in the one o'clock position.

ISSUE
Under normal operating conditions, customers may notice accumulation of brake dust on their
wheels. Some brake dust is inevitable as brakes wear and does not contribute to brake noise. The
use of modern friction materials with emphasis on improved performance and environmental
considerations can lead to more dust than in the past.
ACTION
Brake dust can be cleaned by weekly washing with Motorcraft Detail Wash (ZC-3-A) and a soft
sponge. Heavier deposits can be removed with Motorcraft Wheel and Tire Cleaner (ZC-37-A).

WARNING: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event
of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover pointed away from your
body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: Do not set a live air bag module down with the trim cover face down. This will reduce
the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a
product of the gas generant combustion that is irritating to the skin. Wash your hands with soap
and water afterwards.
WARNING: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag
deployment, which can result in personal injury.
WARNING: Air bag modules with discolored or damaged trim covers must be replaced, not
repainted.
WARNING: Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for proper system operation. If a vehicle equipped
with an air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is involved in a collision, inspect the sensor
mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. Replace and properly position the sensor or
any other damaged Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components whether or not the air bag
is deployed.
WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply
must be depleted before repairing or replacing any front or side air bag Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) components and before servicing, replacing, adjusting or striking components near
the front or side air bag sensors, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers,
seats and hood latches. The side air bag sensors are located at or near the base of the B-pillar. To
deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one
minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).
Note: The narrow section of the keyhole in the lock gear must be in the one o'clock position.
1. Install the steering column lock gear and bearing.
^ Use Ignition Lock Grease F0AZ-19584-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification
ESA-M1C232-A to coat the steering column lock gear and the steering column lock housing
bearing.
^ The narrow section of the keyhole must be in the one o'clock, with the tab inboard at the three
o'clock position. Rotate it counterclockwise.

Power Steering Pressure Switch
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
The Power Steering Pressure (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 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 transmission Electronic Pressure Control (EPC)
pressure during the increased engine load, for example during parking maneuvers.

Digital Transmission Range Sensor: Description and Operation
Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
Typical Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
The Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch is an input to the PCM indicating the clutch pedal position
and, in some manual transmission applications, both the clutch pedal engagement position and the
gear shift position. The PCM provides a 5-volt reference (VREF) signal to the CPP switch and/or a
Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (on the CPP signal line). If the CPP switch (either or both CPP
and PNP switches are closed) is closed, indicating the clutch pedal is engaged and the shift lever is
in the NEUTRAL position, the output voltage (5 volts) from the PCM is grounded through the signal
return line to the PCM, and there is 1 volt or less. One volt or less indicates there is a reduced load
on the engine. If the CPP switch (or PNP switch on vehicle or both CPP and PNP switches open on
the vehicle) is open, meaning the clutch pedal is disengaged (all systems) and the shift lever is not
in NEUTRAL position (PNP switch systems), the input on the CPP signal to the PCM will be
approximately 5 volts. Then, the 5-volt signal input at the PCM will indicate a load on the engine.
The PCM uses the load information in mass air flow and fuel calculations.

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 (i.e., wind, road crown).

General Information
Wheel Alignment Angles
^ Camber and caster are adjusted by means of two adjustment cams located on each upper control
arm. Toe is adjusted by the use of the front wheel spindle tie rod adjusting sleeve.
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.
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.
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° of steering wheel turn). Efforts may be said to be "flat on center." ^
Under 20° 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.
Poor Returnability/Sticky Steering
Poor returnability and sticky steering is used to describe the poor return of the steering wheel to
center after a turn or the steering correction is completed.
Ride Height
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Description and Operation > Camber > Page
1806
On vehicles equipped with an air suspension system, the vehicle ride height can only be measured
accurately after the accurate trim test has been executed using a scan tool.
Shimmy
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.

REMOVAL
1. Remove the ignition coil. For additional information, refer to Ignition Coil.
2. Remove the spark plugs.
NOTE: Use compressed air to remove any debris from the spark plug well before removing the
spark plugs.
3. Inspect the spark plugs for a gap bridged.
^ Check for deposit build-up closing the gap between electrodes. Deposits are caused by oil or
carbon fouling.
^ Clean the spark plug.
4. Inspect 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.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks > Spark Plug > Component
Information > Specifications > Page 1850
5. Inspect for carbon fouling, identified by black, dry, fluffy carbon deposits on insulator tips,
exposed shell surfaces and electrodes. This is caused
by a spark plug with an incorrect heat range, dirty air cleaner, too rich a fuel mixture or excessive
idling. ^
Clean the spark plug.
6. Inspect for normal burning.
^ Check for light tan or gray deposits on the firing tip.
7. Inspect for pre-ignition,
^ identified by melted electrodes and possibly a damaged insulator. Metallic deposits on the
insulator indicate engine damage, which may be caused by incorrect ignition timing, wrong type of
fuel or the installation of a heli-coil insert in place of the spark plug threads.
^ Install a new spark plug.
8. Inspect for overheating, identified by a white or light gray insulator with small black or gray-brown
spots with bluish-burnt appearance of
electrodes. This can be caused by engine overheating, the wrong type of fuel, loose spark plugs,
spark plugs with an incorrect heat range, low fuel pump pressure or incorrect ignition timing.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
General Remarks
Note: Removing fuses and disconnecting electrical components causes the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) to log an error message. After the measurements have been carried out this error
message should be cleared from memory by connecting to PDU.
Note: Only check the compression pressure with the valves set to the prescribed clearance (if this
can be adjusted).
The compression pressure should be checked with the engine at operating temperature.
Check The Compression Pressure
WARNING: On manual transmissions shift the transmission into neutral. On automatic
transmission vehicles, select "P". Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
1. Remove the fuel pump relay. 2. Start the engine - the engine will start, run for a few seconds
then stall. 3. Remove the spark plugs. 4. Install the compression tester. 5. Install an auxiliary starter
switch in the starting circuit. With the ignition switch OFF, using the auxiliary starter switch, crank
the engine a
minimum of five compression strokes and record the highest reading. Note the approximate
number of compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
6. Repeat the test on each cylinder, cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes. 7. Install the components in reverse order, observing the specified tightening
torques. 8. Reset the PCM fault memory.
Interpretation of the Results
The indicated compression pressure are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75% of the highest reading.
CAUTION: If engine oil is sprayed into the combustion chamber, after carrying out the
measurement run the engine at 2000 rpm for about 15 minutes, in order to burn the oil and prevent
damage to the catalytic converter.
If the measurement on one or more cylinders is much lower than the specified value, spray some
engine oil into the combustion chamber and repeat the compression measurement. If the reading
greatly improves, the piston rings are damaged. If the reading stays the same, the cause is either
damaged valve seats or valve stem seals. If the measurements for two cylinders next to each other
are both too low then it is very likely that the cylinder head gasket between them is burnt through.
This can also be recognized by traces of engine oil in the coolant and/or coolant in the engine oil.

Non-standard new drive belts may track differently or incorrectly. If a new drive belt tracks
incorrectly, install a new original equipment drive belt to avoid performance failure or loss of the
drive belt. With the engine running, check drive belt tucking. If the (A) edge of the drive belt rides
beyond the edge of the pulleys, noise and premature wear may occur. Make sure the (B) drive belt
rides correctly on the pulley. If a drive belt tracking condition exists, proceed with the following:
Visually check the drive belt tensioner for damage, especially the mounting pad surface. If the drive
belt tensioner is not installed correctly, the mounting surface pad will be out of position. This 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 drive belt tensioner for any interference that
would prevent the component from mounting correctly. Correct any interference condition and
recheck the drive belt tracking.
- Tighten all accessories, mounting brackets, and drive belt tensioner retaining hardware to
specification. Recheck the drive belt tracking.
Drive Belt Noise/Flutter
Drive belt chirp occurs due to pulley misalignment or excessive pulley runout. It can be the result of
a damaged pulley or an incorrectly aligned 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 is an intermittent noise that occurs when the drive belt slips on a pulley during
certain conditions, such as: engine start up, rapid engine acceleration, or A/C clutch engagement.
Drive belt squeal can occur under certain conditions: 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 are damaged, have a worn or damaged bearing, internal torsional
resistance above normal. All accessories should be rotatable by hand in the unloaded condition. If
not, inspect the accessory.
- If fluid gets on the drive belt. This includes power steering fluid, engine coolant, engine oil or air
conditioning system lubricant. If fluid does get on the drive belt during service, clean the drive belt
with soap and water. A new drive belt does not have to be installed if no apparent damage has
occurred.
- The drive belt tensioner arm should rotate freely without binding.
- If the drive belt is too long. A drive belt that is too long will allow the 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 drive belt tensioner indicator is outside the installation wear range window, install a
new drive belt.
- If the drive belt tensioner is worn or damaged.

ISSUE The majority of repeat heater core leaks are due to high flow rate or use of poor quality
coolant. However, electrolysis should also be checked, especially when repeat repairs have
occurred.
ACTION If the heater core is leaking, review the location of the leakage and check the condition of
the coolant.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Review the location of the leakage and check the condition of the coolant:
a. If leaks are found on the inlet (or outlet) tubes entering / exiting the heater core, it is most likely
due to due to high flow rate - replace the
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Hoses > Heater Hose > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Customer Interest for Heater Hose: > 06-21-19 > Oct > 06 > A/C - Heater Core Electrolysis/Leakage > Page 1901
heater core and install a restrictor in the heater hose closest to the engine block, reference
Workshop Manual, Section 412.
b. If leaks are found in the body of the heater core itself, and does not appear to be the result of
physical damage like contact or puncture, check the coolant for possible electrolysis.
Testing For Electrolysis
Check for voltage in the cooling system by touching the negative contact of a voltmeter to the
battery ground or a known good ground and suspend the positive lead in the coolant, making sure
it is in contact with the coolant but not touching any metal part of the radiator or cooling system.
Both AC and DC voltages must be checked. Vehicles normally have DC voltages; however, a faulty
engine block heater or faulty diode in the alternator can produce AC voltages. It is understood that
coolant is lost due to heater core failure but try to obtain a voltage reading on the old coolant in the
engine block before addition to or replacement of. To keep more coolant from exiting the heater
core clamp off heater core lines and measure coolant in the engine block. Try not to dilute the
original coolant with new coolant during testing if possible.
1. Determine whether coolant condition is acceptable.
a. Remove both cables from the battery and ensure they do not contact each other or the vehicle.
b. Touch negative lead of voltmeter to engine ground and positive lead in the coolant.
NOTE
POSITIVE TEST PROBE IS IN THE COOLANT FOR TESTING.
c. Check the voltage in the cooling system. If less than or equal to 0.4 volts (V) OK, reconnect
battery cables and proceed to Step 2.
d. If greater than 0.4 V, flush cooling system thoroughly.
e. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V.
f. Reconnect battery cables.
g. Refill the system with appropriate Motorcraft® engine coolant.
2. Check for loose or missing grounds at static conditions.
a. Turn off all accessories. Turn ignition on but do not start engine.
b. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.
c. Voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V on all grounds OK.
d. Any one greater than 0.4 V, check and clean ground cable connections.
e. Check accessories without using the on off switch on the vehicle instrument panel, use a jumper
wire to ground.
f. Plug in engine block heater, if equipped, and test.
g. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V.
h. Unplug engine block heater, if equipped.
3. Check for loose, missing, or inadequate grounds.
a. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.
b. Crank engine but do not start.
c. Monitor voltage while cranking. less than or equal to 0.4 V OK
d. If greater than 0.4 V, ground or repair starter.
e. Start engine and run at about 2000 rpm.
f. Turn on all accessories including those customer only uses occasionally such as CB radio, cell
phone, etc.
g. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.

ground to the accessory just identified.
j. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V
k. Turn the DVOM to AC volts.
l. Check for ANY AC voltage greater than 0.4.
m. If any AC voltage is present then try turning off each accessory one at a time including blower
motor and any fan motors.
n. If AC voltage is still present then shut engine off and remove B+ from the alternator and tape it
up then retest.
o. If voltage drop is gradual to less than or equal to 0.4 V, the ground straps may simply be
overloaded by added accessories. Test by using heavy gauge jumper to ground. If indicated, install
heavier gauge ground strap(s) and recheck.
NOTE
If vehicle is equipped with electric cooling fans, be sure they cycle during this testing and monitor
voltage when they are on and when off.
CAUTION
DO NOT GROUND HEATER CORE. IF THE HEATER CORE IS GROUNDED, YOU HAVE
PROVIDED THE ELECTROLOSIS A PATH THROUGH THE HEATER CORE. THIS WOULD
CAUSE THE HEATER CORE TO BECOME AN ANODE OR RECEIVER AND IT WOULD
PROMOTE THE ELECTROLOSIS, OR ANY STRAY VOLTAGE TO USE THE COOLANT AS THE
GROUND PATH.
4. Refill the engine cooling system, reference Workshop Manual, Section 303-03.
NOTE
IF THE HEAT OUTPUT IS INSUFFICIENT, OR THE ENGINE DOES NOT REACH NORMAL
OPERATING TEMPERATURES, VERIFY PROPER THERMOSTAT OPERATION AND REPEAT

it is in contact with the coolant but not touching any metal part of the radiator or cooling system.
Both AC and DC voltages must be checked. Vehicles normally have DC voltages; however, a faulty
engine block heater or faulty diode in the alternator can produce AC voltages. It is understood that
coolant is lost due to heater core failure but try to obtain a voltage reading on the old coolant in the
engine block before addition to or replacement of. To keep more coolant from exiting the heater
core clamp off heater core lines and measure coolant in the engine block. Try not to dilute the
original coolant with new coolant during testing if possible.
1. Determine whether coolant condition is acceptable.
a. Remove both cables from the battery and ensure they do not contact each other or the vehicle.
b. Touch negative lead of voltmeter to engine ground and positive lead in the coolant.
NOTE
POSITIVE TEST PROBE IS IN THE COOLANT FOR TESTING.
c. Check the voltage in the cooling system. If less than or equal to 0.4 volts (V) OK, reconnect
battery cables and proceed to Step 2.
d. If greater than 0.4 V, flush cooling system thoroughly.
e. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V.
f. Reconnect battery cables.
g. Refill the system with appropriate Motorcraft® engine coolant.
2. Check for loose or missing grounds at static conditions.
a. Turn off all accessories. Turn ignition on but do not start engine.
b. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.
c. Voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V on all grounds OK.
d. Any one greater than 0.4 V, check and clean ground cable connections.
e. Check accessories without using the on off switch on the vehicle instrument panel, use a jumper
wire to ground.
f. Plug in engine block heater, if equipped, and test.
g. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V.
h. Unplug engine block heater, if equipped.
3. Check for loose, missing, or inadequate grounds.
a. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.
b. Crank engine but do not start.
c. Monitor voltage while cranking. less than or equal to 0.4 V OK
d. If greater than 0.4 V, ground or repair starter.
e. Start engine and run at about 2000 rpm.
f. Turn on all accessories including those customer only uses occasionally such as CB radio, cell
phone, etc.
g. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.

j. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V
k. Turn the DVOM to AC volts.
l. Check for ANY AC voltage greater than 0.4.
m. If any AC voltage is present then try turning off each accessory one at a time including blower
motor and any fan motors.
n. If AC voltage is still present then shut engine off and remove B+ from the alternator and tape it
up then retest.
o. If voltage drop is gradual to less than or equal to 0.4 V, the ground straps may simply be
overloaded by added accessories. Test by using heavy gauge jumper to ground. If indicated, install
heavier gauge ground strap(s) and recheck.
NOTE
If vehicle is equipped with electric cooling fans, be sure they cycle during this testing and monitor
voltage when they are on and when off.
CAUTION
DO NOT GROUND HEATER CORE. IF THE HEATER CORE IS GROUNDED, YOU HAVE
PROVIDED THE ELECTROLOSIS A PATH THROUGH THE HEATER CORE. THIS WOULD
CAUSE THE HEATER CORE TO BECOME AN ANODE OR RECEIVER AND IT WOULD
PROMOTE THE ELECTROLOSIS, OR ANY STRAY VOLTAGE TO USE THE COOLANT AS THE
GROUND PATH.
4. Refill the engine cooling system, reference Workshop Manual, Section 303-03.
NOTE
IF THE HEAT OUTPUT IS INSUFFICIENT, OR THE ENGINE DOES NOT REACH NORMAL

ISSUE This TSB article describes Ford Motor Company's position on the use of propylene
glycol-based engine coolants.
ACTION
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Coolant > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Engine Coolant - Propylene Glycol Recommendations > Page 1940
Ford Motor Company does not recommend nor endorse the use of engine coolants made with
propylene glycol in Ford vehicles. Ford Motor Company currently recommends the use of ethylene
glycol-based engine coolants.
Published information suggests that engine coolants made with propylene glycol may provide
engine cooling performance equivalent to engine coolants made with ethylene glycol. However,
different brands of engine coolant provide varying corrosion protection for the cooling system. Ford
does not have performance data for the multitude of engine coolants available in the aftermarket
and therefore cannot recommend the use of any coolant except those sold by Ford Customer
Service Division. Consult the vehicle's Owner's Guide to determine the appropriate Ford Customer
Service Division coolant for the vehicle.
Furthermore, claims of toxicological and environmental advantages of propylene glycol over
ethylene glycol may be misleading. When significant new information is developed, Ford will review
this policy.
Ford Motor Company specifications recommend that vehicles be maintained using certain ethylene
glycol-based engine coolants. Those specifications do not refer to engine coolants made with
propylene glycol. Although the Ford New Vehicle Limited Warranty is not automatically voided upon
the use of a coolant made with propylene glycol, if such use results in damage to the vehicle or its
components, the cost of repairing the damage would not be covered by the Ford New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

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

A/C - Identification of Non Approved Refrigerants > Page 1979
Ford Motor Company has approved the Rotunda Deluxe A/C Refrigerant Analyzer (198-00003) for
use on Ford and Lincoln-Mercury vehicles (Figure 1). The analyzer provides the technician with a
quick and easy way to identify the type and percentage of refrigerant (R-134a, R-12, R-22, or
flammable hydrocarbon). The analyzer can also provide the percentage of air in the A/C system
and automatically purge air from the system.
The A/C Refrigerant Analyzer is designed to identify vapor gas samples taken directly from
automotive air conditioning systems or refrigerant storage cylinders. Refrigerant vapor passes
through the multiple sensor Non-Dispersive Infra-Red (NDIR) sensing unit. The microprocessor
calculates each refrigerant type and purity percentage which is displayed on the analyzer's Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD).
The analyzer identifies the purity percentage of R-134a, R-12, R-22, hydrocarbon; and air in the
sample. If the purity percentage of the R-134a or R-12 is 98% or greater by weight, a green
"PASS" Light Emitting Diode (LED) will light. If refrigerants R-134a or R-12 do not meet 98% purity
levels, the red "FAIL" LED will light. Levels of R-22 and flammable hydrocarbons above 2% will
light the red "FAIL" light. If a hydrocarbon is detected above 5%, both the "FAIL" light and
"HYDROCARBON" light will illuminate and a horn will sound alerting the user of potential hazards.
The percent of air contained in the sample will be displayed if the R-134a or R-12 content is 98% or
above. The analyzer eliminates the effect of air
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))

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

Refrigerant: Service Precautions
The Ozone Layer A thin layer of ozone molecules, located 10 to 30 miles above the earth, form a
protective cover by absorbing a portion of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted from the Sun.
Ozone Depletion Scientific research performed over the past 15 years links the release of
chlorofluorocarbons (CFC)s, also know by the trade name Freon) into the atmosphere to ozone
depletion. When CFCs are released into the atmosphere, they eventually reach the ozone layer
located in the stratosphere where they react with and destroy ozone molecules.
Harmful Effects Ozone depletion and the corresponding increase in UV radiation has been shown
to lead to higher incidents of cancer as well as global warming. When viewed from a global
perspective, ozone depletion holds an enormous potential for damage.
Upper Level Vs. Ground Level Ozone Confusion often arises when we hear about the necessity of
the ozone layer and ground level ozone. The ozone layer existing high above the earth is beneficial
but the same compound, when located at ground level, is harmful to humans, animals, crops and
vegetation.
Ground level ozone is a component of smog and forms when hydrocarbons (HC) react with
nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the presence of sunlight and heat.
Montreal Protocol In response to the growing body of evidence demonstrating the detrimental
effects of (CFC)s, 24 countries and the European community met in Montreal, Canada, in 1987 to
establish standards for the control of (CFC)s. Since that time, a total of 132 countries have become
signatories to this agreement leading to an end of production of R12 in December, 1995, in all
developed countries.
As established by the Montreal Protocol, R12 production in developed countries has ceased.
Clean Air Act The United States Congress, acting in response to the Montreal Protocol, banned
production of (CFC)s by the year 2000. Congress also amended the Clean Air Act in an effort to
control both the production and use of (CFC)s for refrigerant applications including mobile vehicle
air conditioning systems.

Refrigerant Oil Addition
CAUTION: During normal A/C operation, oil is circulated through the system with the refrigerant,
and a small amount is retained in each component. If certain components of the system are
removed, some of the refrigerant oil will go with the component. To maintain the original total oil
charge, it is necessary to compensate for the oil lost by adding oil to the system with the new part.
1. Rotate the A/C compressor shaft six to eight revolutions while collecting the oil in a clean
measuring device.
- If the amount of oil drained from the old A/C compressor is between 85-142 ml (3-5 ounces), pour
the same amount plus 30 ml (1 ounce) of clean PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R-134a
Systems) F7AZ-19589-DA (Motorcraft YN-12-C) or equivalent meeting Ford specification
WSH-M1C231-B into the new A/C compressor.

Depowering and Repowering
Supplemental Restraint System ( SRS ) Depowering and Repowering
Depowering Procedure
Warning: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system
(SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event
of an accidental deployment.
Warning: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag
deployment, which can result in personal injury.
Warning: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
Note: The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the ECS fuse is removed and the ignition switch
is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
Note: 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 LH side of the instrument panel, remove the cover and the electronic
crash sensor (ECS)
module fuses F18 (10A) and F10 (10A) from the CJB. For additional information, refer to the Wiring
Diagram Manual.
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.
Warning: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply
must be depleted before repairing or replacing any front or side air bag supplemental restraint
system (SRS) components and before servicing, replacing, adjusting or striking components near
the front air bag sensor, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and
hood latches.
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least
one minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).
6. Disconnect the battery ground cable (14301) and wait at least one minute.
Repowering Procedure
Warning: The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only. Remove from
vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle
safety standards.
1. Make sure all restraint system diagnostic tool(s) that may have been installed during the repair
have been removed from the vehicle and all SRS
components are connected.
2. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON. 3. Install the ECS module fuses F18 (10A) and F10
(10A) to the CJB and install the cover.
Warning: Be sure that nobody is in the vehicle and that there is nothing blocking or set in front of
any air bag module when the battery ground cable is connected.
4. Connect the battery ground cable. 5. Prove out the supplemental restraint system (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 six seconds and then turn off. If an air bag
supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault is present, the air bag indicator will either: 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 electronic crash sensor
(ECS) module 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 five sets of five beeps. If this occurs, the air bag
indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired. Clear all continuous
DTCs from the restraints control module using a scan tool.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS

CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2036
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.

Solid SERVICE ENGINE SOON light
This means that the On Board Diagnostic System (OBD II) has detected a malfunction. Temporary
malfunctions may cause your SERVICE ENGINE SOON light to illuminate. Examples are:
1. The vehicle has run out of fuel. (The engine may misfire or run poorly.) 2. Poor fuel quality or
water in the fuel. 3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed and securely tightened.
The temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank with good quality fuel and/or
properly installing and securely tightening the gas cap. After three driving cycles with out these or
any other temporary malfunctions present, the SERVICE ENGINE SOON light should turn off. (A
driving cycle consists of a cold engine start-up followed by mixed city/highway driving.) No
additional vehicle service is required.
Blinking SERVICE ENGINE SOON light
Engine misfire is occurring which could cause damage to your catalytic converter. You should drive
in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced
at the first available opportunity.

CHECK ENGINE, SERVICE ENGINE SOON, or ISO Standard Engine Symbol
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) alerts the driver that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
has detected an On Board Diagnostic (OBD) II emission-related component or system fault. When
this occurs, an OBD II Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set.
- The MIL is located on the instrument cluster and is labeled CHECK ENGINE, SERVICE ENGINE
SOON or ISO standard engine symbol.
- Power is supplied to the MIL whenever the ignition switch is in the RUN or START position.
- The MIL will remain on in the RUN/START mode as a bulb check during the instrument cluster
proveout for approximately 4 seconds.
- If the MIL remains on after the bulb check: The PCM illuminates the MIL for an emission related concern and a DTC will be present.
- The instrument cluster will illuminate the MIL if the PCM does not send a control message to the
instrument cluster.
- The PCM is operating in the Hardware Limited Operation Strategy (HLOS).
- The MIL circuit is shorted to ground.
- If the MIL remains off (during the bulb check): Bulb is damaged.
- MIL circuit is open.
- To turn off the MIL after a repair, a reset command from the Scan Tool must be sent, or three
consecutive drive cycles must be completed without a fault.
- For any MIL concern Symptom Charts.
- If the MIL blinks at a steady rate, a severe misfire condition could possibly exist.
- If the MIL blinks erratically, an intermittent open B+ to the bulb or an intermittent short to ground in
the MIL circuit exist. Also, the PCM can reset while cranking if battery voltage is low.

ISSUE The purpose of this bulletin is to provide guidance when using tire/wheel assembly road
force measurement equipment such as the Hunter GSP97OO. This bulletin is authored and
endorsed by Hunter, Michelin, Goodyear, Continental/General, Hankook, Bridgestone/Firestone
and Pirelli. Items addressed are software upgrades, road test (exercise tires), assembly center
verification and warranty restrictions.
This type of equipment can be a valuable tool to improve customer satisfaction when used as a
vibration repair tool. This type of equipment can also provide a high level of customer satisfaction
when used as an assembly too! when the customer has purchased new wheels/tires in the
"Around-the-Wheel" program.
ACTION The Hunter GSP9700/9712 road force measurement tool is NOT to be used for
determining if a tire or wheel meets a specification. It can be used as a service diagnostic tool to
minimize road force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. The tool such as the Hunter GSP97OO
can approximate the low point of the "'1heel and the high point of the tire. This allows the tire to be
matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly road force variation. This will
minimize the contribution to vibration from the tire/wheel assembly.

ISSUE
Under normal operating conditions, customers may notice accumulation of brake dust on their
wheels. Some brake dust is inevitable as brakes wear and does not contribute to brake noise. The
use of modern friction materials with emphasis on improved performance and environmental
considerations can lead to more dust than in the past.
ACTION
Brake dust can be cleaned by weekly washing with Motorcraft Detail Wash (ZC-3-A) and a soft
sponge. Heavier deposits can be removed with Motorcraft Wheel and Tire Cleaner (ZC-37-A).

Procedure.
ISSUE Some 2000 model year Police Interceptors produced from 1/1/2000 through 8/14/2000 may
have repeat issues with tire balance. This may be caused by tire slippage on the rim.
ACTION Check for tire slippage on the rim using the following Service Procedure and if necessary,
refer the customer to a Goodyear Service Center for tire service.
SERVICE PROCEDURE Use the following procedure to test for tire slippage on the wheel.
1. Mark the tire and wheel for a reference location.
2. Conduct three (3) 80-0 km/h (50-0 mph) full stops with 1 kilometer (1 mile) cool down in between
each run.

ISSUE The purpose of this bulletin is to provide guidance when using tire/wheel assembly road
force measurement equipment such as the Hunter GSP97OO. This bulletin is authored and
endorsed by Hunter, Michelin, Goodyear, Continental/General, Hankook, Bridgestone/Firestone
and Pirelli. Items addressed are software upgrades, road test (exercise tires), assembly center
verification and warranty restrictions.
This type of equipment can be a valuable tool to improve customer satisfaction when used as a
vibration repair tool. This type of equipment can also provide a high level of customer satisfaction
when used as an assembly too! when the customer has purchased new wheels/tires in the
"Around-the-Wheel" program.
ACTION The Hunter GSP9700/9712 road force measurement tool is NOT to be used for
determining if a tire or wheel meets a specification. It can be used as a service diagnostic tool to
minimize road force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. The tool such as the Hunter GSP97OO
can approximate the low point of the "'1heel and the high point of the tire. This allows the tire to be
matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly road force variation. This will
minimize the contribution to vibration from the tire/wheel assembly.

Wheels: Service and Repair Wheel Leaks
WARNING: Wheel repairs that use welding or peening are not approved. An inner tube is not an
acceptable repair for leaking wheels or tires. If the air pressure in a tire mounted on an aluminum
wheel is found to be low, perform the following procedure before considering installation of a new
wheel.
1. Remove the tire and wheel assembly, and inspect the wheel for structural damage. If none
exists, go to Step 2. If the wheel is damaged, install a
new wheel.
2. With the tire mounted on the wheel, locate the air leak using a water bath or equivalent method,
and mark the location. Check the complete wheel
for possible additional leaks. When leaks are marked, dismount the tire marking valve location on
the tire for correct indexing.
3. On the tire side of the wheel, thoroughly clean the leaking area with an appropriate cleaner
(Professional Choke and Linkage Cleaner
E8AZ-19A501-AA or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESR-M14PI0-A) or use sandpaper of
approximately 80-grit to remove all contamination. Using the sandpaper, score the surface of the
leaking area to improve adhesion of the sealer. If the valve stem is close to the area, remove it.
4. Use a clean cloth to remove all cleaner or sanding dust.
5. Note: Do not use a torch containing oxyacetylene.
Heat the prepared area with a Heat Gun or a propane torch until Aluminum Wheel Repair
Compound E7AZ-19554-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESA-M4G280-A flows. Apply
the hot melt material over the prepared area using a liberal flow and wiping action. Repair is most
effective when heat is applied to the brake side of the rim, and the sealer is melted by heat in the
metal.
6. Apply only enough heat to melt the sealer, then remove the heat source. After repairing the leak,
allow the wheel to cool until it can be handled
safety.
7. CAUTION: Use caution when mounting the tire so as not to damage the sealer.
Index and assemble the tire and wheel. Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure as indicated
on the tire pressure decal.
8. Repeat Step 2 to verify repair. 9. When the repair is completed, balance the assembly and install
it on the vehicle.

Compression Check: Specifications
Compression Test-Test Results
The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest reading. For additional information, refer to the
Compression Pressure Limit Chart.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Compression Check > System Information >
Specifications > Page 2255
Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
General Remarks
Note: Removing fuses and disconnecting electrical components causes the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) to log an error message. After the measurements have been carried out this error
message should be cleared from memory by connecting to PDU.
Note: Only check the compression pressure with the valves set to the prescribed clearance (if this
can be adjusted).
The compression pressure should be checked with the engine at operating temperature.
Check The Compression Pressure
WARNING: On manual transmissions shift the transmission into neutral. On automatic
transmission vehicles, select "P". Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
1. Remove the fuel pump relay. 2. Start the engine - the engine will start, run for a few seconds
then stall. 3. Remove the spark plugs. 4. Install the compression tester. 5. Install an auxiliary starter
switch in the starting circuit. With the ignition switch OFF, using the auxiliary starter switch, crank
the engine a
minimum of five compression strokes and record the highest reading. Note the approximate
number of compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
6. Repeat the test on each cylinder, cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes. 7. Install the components in reverse order, observing the specified tightening
torques. 8. Reset the PCM fault memory.
Interpretation of the Results
The indicated compression pressure are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75% of the highest reading.
CAUTION: If engine oil is sprayed into the combustion chamber, after carrying out the
measurement run the engine at 2000 rpm for about 15 minutes, in order to burn the oil and prevent
damage to the catalytic converter.
If the measurement on one or more cylinders is much lower than the specified value, spray some
engine oil into the combustion chamber and repeat the compression measurement. If the reading
greatly improves, the piston rings are damaged. If the reading stays the same, the cause is either
damaged valve seats or valve stem seals. If the measurements for two cylinders next to each other
are both too low then it is very likely that the cylinder head gasket between them is burnt through.
This can also be recognized by traces of engine oil in the coolant and/or coolant in the engine oil.

CAUTION: Incorrect drive belt installation will cause excessive drive belt wear and may cause the
drive belt to come off the drive pulleys.

Non-standard new drive belts may track differently or incorrectly. If a new drive belt tracks
incorrectly, install a new original equipment drive belt to avoid performance failure or loss of the
drive belt. With the engine running, check drive belt tucking. If the (A) edge of the drive belt rides
beyond the edge of the pulleys, noise and premature wear may occur. Make sure the (B) drive belt
rides correctly on the pulley. If a drive belt tracking condition exists, proceed with the following:
Visually check the drive belt tensioner for damage, especially the mounting pad surface. If the drive
belt tensioner is not installed correctly, the mounting surface pad will be out of position. This 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 drive belt tensioner for any interference that
would prevent the component from mounting correctly. Correct any interference condition and
recheck the drive belt tracking.
- Tighten all accessories, mounting brackets, and drive belt tensioner retaining hardware to
specification. Recheck the drive belt tracking.
Drive Belt Noise/Flutter
Drive belt chirp occurs due to pulley misalignment or excessive pulley runout. It can be the result of
a damaged pulley or an incorrectly aligned 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 is an intermittent noise that occurs when the drive belt slips on a pulley during
certain conditions, such as: engine start up, rapid engine acceleration, or A/C clutch engagement.
Drive belt squeal can occur under certain conditions: 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 are damaged, have a worn or damaged bearing, internal torsional
resistance above normal. All accessories should be rotatable by hand in the unloaded condition. If
not, inspect the accessory.
- If fluid gets on the drive belt. This includes power steering fluid, engine coolant, engine oil or air
conditioning system lubricant. If fluid does get on the drive belt during service, clean the drive belt
with soap and water. A new drive belt does not have to be installed if no apparent damage has
occurred.
- The drive belt tensioner arm should rotate freely without binding.
- If the drive belt is too long. A drive belt that is too long will allow the 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 drive belt tensioner indicator is outside the installation wear range window, install a
new drive belt.
- If the drive belt tensioner is worn or damaged.

ISSUE The engine mounts on some vehicles may not exhibit satisfactory durability under severe
operating conditions that may be encountered by Police, Taxi or Limo/Livery vehicles such as
extended idling at high ambient temperatures. This may be caused by the extreme heat generated
by the engine under these conditions.
ACTION If service to the engine mounts is required, install new revised engine mounts which
incorporate a heat shield. For left side engine mount, use 1W7Z-6038-BA - right side engine
mount, use 1W7Z-6038-AA. Refer to the appropriate model/year Workshop Manual, Section
303-01 for replacement procedure.

Attachment III - Technical Information
OVERVIEW
This program involves either:
A) inspecting the intake manifold part number to determine if the owner is eligible for
reimbursement for a previous intake manifold replacement repair without a receipt, or
B) inspecting the intake manifold coolant crossover directly behind the alternator for leakage in the
event the owner reports a suspected coolant leak. If a leak in this specific area is verified, the
intake manifold must be replaced.
Proceed to the appropriate inspection procedure.
PART NUMBER INSPECTION
NOTE:
The part number is molded into the intake manifold and is located between two (2) runners on the
driver side of the manifold. No disassembly is required to view the part number except for removal
of the engine appearance cover, if equipped.
^ On most affected vehicles, the throttle body points toward the driver side of the vehicle. The part
number will be found on the driver side of the manifold, beneath the throttle body intake tube.
^ On applications where the throttle body is pointing toward the right side of the vehicle, the part
number is still located on the driver side of the manifold.
1. Remove the engine appearance cover, if equipped.

Service Bulletins > Recalls: > 05N04 > Dec > 05 > Campaign - Intake Manifold Extended Warranty Coverage > Page 2456
2. Locate the area on the intake manifold where the part number is to be found. See Figure 1.
3. NOTE: Thorough cleaning of the area is required in order to accurately read the part number
prefix and suffix. Wrap a shop towel around the end of either a long screwdriver or long extension
to reach the affected area to wipe after spraying with cleaner.
Clean the area between the two (2) runners by first blowing any dirt or foreign material away using
compressed air. Then spray the area with Motorcraft Metal Brake Parts Cleaner, PM-4 or
equivalent, and using a shop towel, wipe the area clean.
4. Read and record the intake manifold part number.
^ If the part number on the manifold matches the part numbers listed, the vehicle is not eligible for
a refund without a receipt.

Attachment III - Technical Information
OVERVIEW
This program involves either:
A) inspecting the intake manifold part number to determine if the owner is eligible for
reimbursement for a previous intake manifold replacement repair without a receipt, or
B) inspecting the intake manifold coolant crossover directly behind the alternator for leakage in the
event the owner reports a suspected coolant leak. If a leak in this specific area is verified, the
intake manifold must be replaced.
Proceed to the appropriate inspection procedure.
PART NUMBER INSPECTION
NOTE:
The part number is molded into the intake manifold and is located between two (2) runners on the
driver side of the manifold. No disassembly is required to view the part number except for removal
of the engine appearance cover, if equipped.
^ On most affected vehicles, the throttle body points toward the driver side of the vehicle. The part
number will be found on the driver side of the manifold, beneath the throttle body intake tube.
^ On applications where the throttle body is pointing toward the right side of the vehicle, the part
number is still located on the driver side of the manifold.
1. Remove the engine appearance cover, if equipped.

Extended Warranty Coverage > Page 2518
2. Locate the area on the intake manifold where the part number is to be found. See Figure 1.
3. NOTE: Thorough cleaning of the area is required in order to accurately read the part number
prefix and suffix. Wrap a shop towel around the end of either a long screwdriver or long extension
to reach the affected area to wipe after spraying with cleaner.
Clean the area between the two (2) runners by first blowing any dirt or foreign material away using
compressed air. Then spray the area with Motorcraft Metal Brake Parts Cleaner, PM-4 or
equivalent, and using a shop towel, wipe the area clean.
4. Read and record the intake manifold part number.
^ If the part number on the manifold matches the part numbers listed, the vehicle is not eligible for
a refund without a receipt.

ISSUE Some vehicles equipped with the Romeo built 4.6L 2V engine or 5.4L 2V Windsor and 5.4L
Supercharged engine may exhibit an oil leak or oil weepage from the cylinder head gasket at the
right hand rear or the left hand front of the engine. Oil weepage is not considered detrimental to
engine performance or durability. An oil leak may be caused by metal chip debris lodged between
the head gasket and the block, chip debris between the cylinder head and the head gasket, or by
damage to the cylinder head sealing surface that occurred during the manufacturing process.
ACTION Once an oil leak is verified with a black light test at the head gasket joint, replacement of
the head gasket can be performed. If the head was damaged by chip contamination, the head
should be replaced. A revised "Service-Only" gasket is now released for both of these cases.

ISSUE Some engine assemblies with aluminum cylinder heads repaired in-vehicle have been
found to leak coolant and/or oil from the cylinder head gasket area due to particle contamination or
scratches and dents at the head to block mating surfaces.
ACTION Refer to the following Service Information for recommended gasket sealing surface
preparation procedures. If the engine diagnosis points to a faulty head gasket (leaks oil, leaks
coolant, oil or coolant contamination, or air in coolant), thorough cleaning procedures are
necessary for a successful head gasket repair. Diagnosis and post-repair confirmation can be done
successfully utilizing leak detection methods such as a black light dye process.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
To sum up, a successful leak repair depends on:
^ Accurate diagnosis of the leak using Ford-recommended test equipment and procedures
^ Surface preparation and gasket installation using the approved tools, cleaners, and methods
^ Exercising CARE and CLEANLINESS during disassembly/assembly of components
^ Use of genuine Ford OEM replacement parts
^ Use of a Ford Remanufacturer

WARNING
ALUMINUM CYLINDER HEADS ARE HIGHLY POLISHED AND MUST BE HANDLED WITH
EXTREME CARE. AFTER REMOVING THE HEAD BOLTS, WITHDRAW THE HEAD FROM THE
ENGINE COMPARTMENT. USE EXTREME CARE NOTING THAT THE GASKET SURFACE OF
THE HEAD COULD BE DAMAGED ON THE WAY OUT OF THE VEHICLE IF ALLOWED TO HIT
AGAINST OTHER ENGINE COMPONENTS. ONCE REMOVED, PLACE THE HEAD ON A
BENCH, GASKET SIDE UP, USING A PIECE OF CLEAN CARDBOARD ON THE BENCH
SURFACE UNDERNEATH. DO NOT SLIDE THE HEAD GASKET SURFACE ALONG THE
BENCHTOP OR DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.
NOTE
SOME ENGINES REQUIRE A "DE-TORQUING" PROCEDURE OF THE CYLINDER HEAD
BOLTS. CONSULT WITH THE APPROPRIATE MODEL YEAR WORKSHOP MANUAL FIRST, AS
THIS PROCEDURE IS USUALLY DONE ON FOUR-VALVE ENGINES. HOWEVER, ALL
ALUMINUM HEADS ARE PRONE TO WARPAGE DURING REMOVAL IF TAKEN OFF WHEN
HOT OR WARM. THE ENGINE SHOULD BE COOLED SUFFICIENTLY BY THE TIME THE
HEADS ARE ACCESSIBLE DURING TEARDOWN. ALLOW AN ADEQUATE COOL DOWN
PERIOD.
NOTE
IN SOME ENGINE APPLICATIONS, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO "RUBBER BAND" A FEW OF
THE HEAD BOLTS TOGETHER DUE TO TIGHT CLEARANCES OF THE HEAD NEAR
HEATER/AC PLENUMS AND THE BODY COWL. THIS WILL ALLOW THE BOLTS TO CLEAR
THE BLOCK DECK AS THE HEAD IS WITHDRAWN FROM THE VEHICLE.
Place CLEAN shop towels over the cylinder block bores to prevent further contamination from
reaching internal parts and surfaces. If a towel is to be removed, do it SLOWLY . Debris collected
on the towel can fall on the engine if care is not exercised as it is removed.
Gasket surfaces are machined to near-mirror surface quality. Scratches, dents, gouges, and other
impressions may allow oil, coolant, and compression gases to leak into other sealed cavities and/or
the atmosphere. Surface imperfections deteriorate the head gasket's ability to seal effectively.
Contamination on these surfaces will cause leaks from "shimming" the head even under full head
bolt torque. Contamination will also cause marks on the polished gasket surface, creating a leak
path.
Inspection For Damage and Cleaning Procedure
The overall straightness of the cylinder head and block face is held within very tight specification.
Defects known as "waviness" or "depressions" cannot be surface machined out with ordinary
equipment. Machining must meet manufacturer's specification on surface finish quality and be less
than 0.001" inch (0.025 mm) level as measured under a known quality straightedge using a feeler
gauge. If the engine has been overheated the cylinder head may have been damaged or warped.
Re-surfacing will not correct this damage.
The head must not contain any impressions on its sealing surface deeper than 0.001" (0.025 mm).
There must not be any scratches or gouges present, especially those which track to another
sealing cavity or to the atmosphere.
Ensure that the mating cylinder block surface is completely free of solid contamination, corrosion,
and fluids. Use Motorcraft Metal Surface Cleaner, F4AZ-19A536-RA or equivalent, to rid the
surface of any material, which could later interfere with the gasket's sealing ability.
WARNING
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE ANY ALUMINUM GASKET SURFACES TO BE CLEANED
USING RAZOR BLADES, ROTARY ABRASIVE DEVICES INCLUDING ROLOC AND 3M
BRANDED SCOTCHBRITE PRODUCTS, ROTARY WIRE BRUSHES, SINGLE HANDLED WIRE
BRUSHES, HAND ABRASIVE SUCH AS SANDPAPER OR EMERY CLOTH, OR ANY CARBON
STEEL BLADE. THESE TOOLS ARE PROVEN TO CUT AND DAMAGE ALUMINUM AND WILL
DISRUPT THE POLISHED FINISH. ABRASIVE PARTICLES ARE ALSO SUSCEPTIBLE TO
ENTERING THE ENGINE CAVITIES AND MAY CAUSE INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE. THE
ONLY TOOLS ACCEPTABLE ARE PLASTIC AND WOOD SCRAPERS COMBINED WITH USE
OF MOTORCRAFT METAL SURFACE CLEANER, F4AZ-19A536-RA, OR EQUIVALENT
SOLVENT.
The original head bolts are to be discarded. Only new head bolts are acceptable for use in a head
gasket repair. Use of old bolts can cause clamp load failure because they were stretched from the
last torquing procedure either from the plant or a previous field repair. The new head bolt shanks
and threads should be thoroughly cleaned, dried, and lightly lubricated. Oil the bolts and let oil drip
for a minimum of 5 minutes. Use of too much oil may cause hydraulic lockup in the bolt hole.
The corresponding bolt holes in the cylinder block must be free of contamination consisting of dirt
particles, coolant, and oil. Bolts can mechanically or hydraulically lock on top of these materials and
cause for poor clamping of the cylinder head gasket. Use very lightly compressed air to blow out
the bolt holes. Use care to prevent debris from scattering over the internal engine surfaces.
To clean the cylinder block gasket surface, a plastic or wood scraper in combination with Motorcraft
Metal Surface Cleaner, F4AZ-19A536-RA, or equivalent solvent can be used with a portable shop
vacuum. Move the scraper toward the vacuum nozzle to direct loosened material quickly away from
the block surface.
It is not necessary to expect aluminum head surfaces to be shiny and bright after the vehicle has
been in service. Sanding, scraping, or polishing will create surface depressions that cause leaks.
The surface is expected to be flat within 0.001" (0.025 mm) and free of dirt, metal chips, and liquid
contaminants. Any staining of the metal surface is considered normal.

Machining of aluminum heads and blocks is an unacceptable field practice for quality control
purposes of flatness and surface finish standards. Removing material will also raise the risk of
internal reciprocating components striking each other, as well as changing the emissions
calibration of the engine. Machining practices of aluminum blocks and heads are not reimbursable.
Ford Remanufacturers are authorized to perform this procedure and have the necessary
equipment to put the specified surface finish on the head within original factory limits.
Installation Onto the Cylinder Block Surface
WARNING
ANY GASKET SEALING AIDS WHICH ARE NOT LIMITED TO, AND INCLUDE AVIATION
CEMENT, COPPER SPRAYS, OR GLUES ARE NOT TO BE USED. THE GASKET MUST BE
FITTED DRY WITHOUT SUPPLEMENTAL SEALING AIDS. ATTEMPTS TO SEAL WITH THESE
COMPOUNDS WILL CAUSE HEAD SHIMMING AND/OR NEW LEAK PATHS. THESE
COMPOUNDS HAVE ALSO BEEN KNOWN TO CAUSE EMISSIONS SENSORS TO FAIL
THEREBY TRIPPING FAULT CODES IN THE PCM.
Ensure that all surfaces of the cylinder block, cylinder head, and gasket are fully free of any solid or
liquid contamination and have been prepared for assembly using Motorcraft Metal Surface Cleaner,
F4AZ-19A536-RA, or equivalent solvent. Also ensure that any residual dirt on the engine was
removed successfully from the surrounding areas of the block to head face of the head and the
block.
Using Workshop Manual procedures, assemble the head to the block carefully. Do not allow the
gasket surfaces to scrape or bang against other engine parts. The head may pick up material along
the way, if this is allowed. Once in place, with dowels properly aligned to the head and ensuring
that the head is fully square, seated, and resting on the block deck in a level condition, install new
"torque-to-yield" cylinder head bolts to a finger tight condition. Refer to the appropriate model year
Workshop Manual for the procedure to torque the head bolts in the correct sequence and at the
intervals specified. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a warped head, and damaged
head bolt threads.
Do not use "cheater pipes" on torque wrenches. Use a known quality, calibrated torque wrench.
Pull evenly and steady on each bolt. Do not exert side pressures on the bolt hex, which can disrupt
the integrity of the bolt head and give a false reading on the final torque value of the fastener.
Once the engine is fully reassembled, be sure that fluid levels have been topped off as required for
the operation. When the engine is ready for starting, ensure that the engine 6i1 pump is (was)
primed properly and is in a "ready to start" condition with all engine oil galleys having been charged
with oil.
WARNING
DO NOT RACE THE ENGINE UPON INITIAL STARTUP. MAINTAIN ENGINE IDLE TO BUILD OIL
PRESSURE. USE OF A MECHANICAL PRESSURE GAUGE WILL ENSURE THAT OIL FLOW
HAS DEVELOPED ON THE PUMP'S PRESSURE SIDE. A DEFECTIVE GAUGE OR LIGHT IN
THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL NOT VERIFY PRESSURE HAS BEEN OBTAINED. SEVERE
INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE WILL RESULT IF PRESSURE IS NOT OBSERVED AND
STEADILY MAINTAINED.
Allow a warm up period, which brings the engine to normal operating temperature. Check for leaks
around the gasket joints of the head, front cover, and associated component parts. The vehicle
should be road tested within normal guidelines to raise the engine to operating temperature and
verify the repair is sound.
Shut down the engine, allow for a cool-down and drain-back period to enable fluids to return to
levels. Check fluid levels using owner guide recommendations (dipstick, sight gages, etc.).

Metal Surface Cleaner, F4AZ-19A536-RA, or equivalent solvent can be used with a portable shop
vacuum. Move the scraper toward the vacuum nozzle to direct loosened material quickly away from
the block surface.
It is not necessary to expect aluminum head surfaces to be shiny and bright after the vehicle has
been in service. Sanding, scraping, or polishing will create surface depressions that cause leaks.
The surface is expected to be flat within 0.001" (0.025 mm) and free of dirt, metal chips, and liquid
contaminants. Any staining of the metal surface is considered normal.

Machining of aluminum heads and blocks is an unacceptable field practice for quality control
purposes of flatness and surface finish standards. Removing material will also raise the risk of
internal reciprocating components striking each other, as well as changing the emissions
calibration of the engine. Machining practices of aluminum blocks and heads are not reimbursable.
Ford Remanufacturers are authorized to perform this procedure and have the necessary
equipment to put the specified surface finish on the head within original factory limits.
Installation Onto the Cylinder Block Surface
WARNING
ANY GASKET SEALING AIDS WHICH ARE NOT LIMITED TO, AND INCLUDE AVIATION
CEMENT, COPPER SPRAYS, OR GLUES ARE NOT TO BE USED. THE GASKET MUST BE
FITTED DRY WITHOUT SUPPLEMENTAL SEALING AIDS. ATTEMPTS TO SEAL WITH THESE
COMPOUNDS WILL CAUSE HEAD SHIMMING AND/OR NEW LEAK PATHS. THESE
COMPOUNDS HAVE ALSO BEEN KNOWN TO CAUSE EMISSIONS SENSORS TO FAIL
THEREBY TRIPPING FAULT CODES IN THE PCM.
Ensure that all surfaces of the cylinder block, cylinder head, and gasket are fully free of any solid or
liquid contamination and have been prepared for assembly using Motorcraft Metal Surface Cleaner,
F4AZ-19A536-RA, or equivalent solvent. Also ensure that any residual dirt on the engine was
removed successfully from the surrounding areas of the block to head face of the head and the
block.
Using Workshop Manual procedures, assemble the head to the block carefully. Do not allow the
gasket surfaces to scrape or bang against other engine parts. The head may pick up material along
the way, if this is allowed. Once in place, with dowels properly aligned to the head and ensuring
that the head is fully square, seated, and resting on the block deck in a level condition, install new
"torque-to-yield" cylinder head bolts to a finger tight condition. Refer to the appropriate model year
Workshop Manual for the procedure to torque the head bolts in the correct sequence and at the
intervals specified. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a warped head, and damaged
head bolt threads.
Do not use "cheater pipes" on torque wrenches. Use a known quality, calibrated torque wrench.
Pull evenly and steady on each bolt. Do not exert side pressures on the bolt hex, which can disrupt
the integrity of the bolt head and give a false reading on the final torque value of the fastener.
Once the engine is fully reassembled, be sure that fluid levels have been topped off as required for
the operation. When the engine is ready for starting, ensure that the engine 6i1 pump is (was)
primed properly and is in a "ready to start" condition with all engine oil galleys having been charged
with oil.
WARNING
DO NOT RACE THE ENGINE UPON INITIAL STARTUP. MAINTAIN ENGINE IDLE TO BUILD OIL
PRESSURE. USE OF A MECHANICAL PRESSURE GAUGE WILL ENSURE THAT OIL FLOW
HAS DEVELOPED ON THE PUMP'S PRESSURE SIDE. A DEFECTIVE GAUGE OR LIGHT IN
THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL NOT VERIFY PRESSURE HAS BEEN OBTAINED. SEVERE
INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE WILL RESULT IF PRESSURE IS NOT OBSERVED AND
STEADILY MAINTAINED.
Allow a warm up period, which brings the engine to normal operating temperature. Check for leaks
around the gasket joints of the head, front cover, and associated component parts. The vehicle
should be road tested within normal guidelines to raise the engine to operating temperature and
verify the repair is sound.
Shut down the engine, allow for a cool-down and drain-back period to enable fluids to return to
levels. Check fluid levels using owner guide recommendations (dipstick, sight gages, etc.).

ISSUE The majority of repeat heater core leaks are due to high flow rate or use of poor quality
coolant. However, electrolysis should also be checked, especially when repeat repairs have
occurred.
ACTION If the heater core is leaking, review the location of the leakage and check the condition of
the coolant.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Review the location of the leakage and check the condition of the coolant:
a. If leaks are found on the inlet (or outlet) tubes entering / exiting the heater core, it is most likely
due to due to high flow rate - replace the
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Timing Chain Tensioner: > 06-21-19 >
Oct > 06 > A/C - Heater Core Electrolysis/Leakage > Page 2665
heater core and install a restrictor in the heater hose closest to the engine block, reference
Workshop Manual, Section 412.
b. If leaks are found in the body of the heater core itself, and does not appear to be the result of
physical damage like contact or puncture, check the coolant for possible electrolysis.
Testing For Electrolysis
Check for voltage in the cooling system by touching the negative contact of a voltmeter to the
battery ground or a known good ground and suspend the positive lead in the coolant, making sure
it is in contact with the coolant but not touching any metal part of the radiator or cooling system.
Both AC and DC voltages must be checked. Vehicles normally have DC voltages; however, a faulty
engine block heater or faulty diode in the alternator can produce AC voltages. It is understood that
coolant is lost due to heater core failure but try to obtain a voltage reading on the old coolant in the
engine block before addition to or replacement of. To keep more coolant from exiting the heater
core clamp off heater core lines and measure coolant in the engine block. Try not to dilute the
original coolant with new coolant during testing if possible.
1. Determine whether coolant condition is acceptable.
a. Remove both cables from the battery and ensure they do not contact each other or the vehicle.
b. Touch negative lead of voltmeter to engine ground and positive lead in the coolant.
NOTE
POSITIVE TEST PROBE IS IN THE COOLANT FOR TESTING.
c. Check the voltage in the cooling system. If less than or equal to 0.4 volts (V) OK, reconnect
battery cables and proceed to Step 2.
d. If greater than 0.4 V, flush cooling system thoroughly.
e. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V.
f. Reconnect battery cables.
g. Refill the system with appropriate Motorcraft® engine coolant.
2. Check for loose or missing grounds at static conditions.
a. Turn off all accessories. Turn ignition on but do not start engine.
b. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.
c. Voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V on all grounds OK.

heater core and install a restrictor in the heater hose closest to the engine block, reference
Workshop Manual, Section 412.
b. If leaks are found in the body of the heater core itself, and does not appear to be the result of
physical damage like contact or puncture, check the coolant for possible electrolysis.
Testing For Electrolysis
Check for voltage in the cooling system by touching the negative contact of a voltmeter to the
battery ground or a known good ground and suspend the positive lead in the coolant, making sure
it is in contact with the coolant but not touching any metal part of the radiator or cooling system.
Both AC and DC voltages must be checked. Vehicles normally have DC voltages; however, a faulty
engine block heater or faulty diode in the alternator can produce AC voltages. It is understood that
coolant is lost due to heater core failure but try to obtain a voltage reading on the old coolant in the
engine block before addition to or replacement of. To keep more coolant from exiting the heater
core clamp off heater core lines and measure coolant in the engine block. Try not to dilute the
original coolant with new coolant during testing if possible.
1. Determine whether coolant condition is acceptable.
a. Remove both cables from the battery and ensure they do not contact each other or the vehicle.
b. Touch negative lead of voltmeter to engine ground and positive lead in the coolant.
NOTE
POSITIVE TEST PROBE IS IN THE COOLANT FOR TESTING.
c. Check the voltage in the cooling system. If less than or equal to 0.4 volts (V) OK, reconnect
battery cables and proceed to Step 2.
d. If greater than 0.4 V, flush cooling system thoroughly.
e. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V.
f. Reconnect battery cables.
g. Refill the system with appropriate Motorcraft® engine coolant.
2. Check for loose or missing grounds at static conditions.
a. Turn off all accessories. Turn ignition on but do not start engine.
b. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.
c. Voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V on all grounds OK.
d. Any one greater than 0.4 V, check and clean ground cable connections.
e. Check accessories without using the on off switch on the vehicle instrument panel, use a jumper
wire to ground.
f. Plug in engine block heater, if equipped, and test.
g. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V.
h. Unplug engine block heater, if equipped.
3. Check for loose, missing, or inadequate grounds.
a. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.
b. Crank engine but do not start.
c. Monitor voltage while cranking. less than or equal to 0.4 V OK

5. Inspect for carbon fouling, identified by black, dry, fluffy carbon deposits on insulator tips,
exposed shell surfaces and electrodes. This is caused
by a spark plug with an incorrect heat range, dirty air cleaner, too rich a fuel mixture or excessive
idling. ^
Clean the spark plug.
6. Inspect for normal burning.
^ Check for light tan or gray deposits on the firing tip.
7. Inspect for pre-ignition,
^ identified by melted electrodes and possibly a damaged insulator. Metallic deposits on the
insulator indicate engine damage, which may be caused by incorrect ignition timing, wrong type of
fuel or the installation of a heli-coil insert in place of the spark plug threads.
^ Install a new spark plug.
8. Inspect for overheating, identified by a white or light gray insulator with small black or gray-brown
spots with bluish-burnt appearance of
electrodes. This can be caused by engine overheating, the wrong type of fuel, loose spark plugs,
spark plugs with an incorrect heat range, low fuel pump pressure or incorrect ignition timing.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
General Remarks
Note: Removing fuses and disconnecting electrical components causes the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) to log an error message. After the measurements have been carried out this error
message should be cleared from memory by connecting to PDU.
Note: Only check the compression pressure with the valves set to the prescribed clearance (if this
can be adjusted).
The compression pressure should be checked with the engine at operating temperature.
Check The Compression Pressure
WARNING: On manual transmissions shift the transmission into neutral. On automatic
transmission vehicles, select "P". Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
1. Remove the fuel pump relay. 2. Start the engine - the engine will start, run for a few seconds
then stall. 3. Remove the spark plugs. 4. Install the compression tester. 5. Install an auxiliary starter
switch in the starting circuit. With the ignition switch OFF, using the auxiliary starter switch, crank
the engine a
minimum of five compression strokes and record the highest reading. Note the approximate
number of compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
6. Repeat the test on each cylinder, cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes. 7. Install the components in reverse order, observing the specified tightening
torques. 8. Reset the PCM fault memory.
Interpretation of the Results
The indicated compression pressure are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75% of the highest reading.
CAUTION: If engine oil is sprayed into the combustion chamber, after carrying out the
measurement run the engine at 2000 rpm for about 15 minutes, in order to burn the oil and prevent
damage to the catalytic converter.
If the measurement on one or more cylinders is much lower than the specified value, spray some
engine oil into the combustion chamber and repeat the compression measurement. If the reading
greatly improves, the piston rings are damaged. If the reading stays the same, the cause is either
damaged valve seats or valve stem seals. If the measurements for two cylinders next to each other
are both too low then it is very likely that the cylinder head gasket between them is burnt through.
This can also be recognized by traces of engine oil in the coolant and/or coolant in the engine oil.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Coolant > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Engine Coolant - Propylene Glycol Recommendations > Page 2745
Ford Motor Company does not recommend nor endorse the use of engine coolants made with
propylene glycol in Ford vehicles. Ford Motor Company currently recommends the use of ethylene
glycol-based engine coolants.
Published information suggests that engine coolants made with propylene glycol may provide
engine cooling performance equivalent to engine coolants made with ethylene glycol. However,
different brands of engine coolant provide varying corrosion protection for the cooling system. Ford
does not have performance data for the multitude of engine coolants available in the aftermarket
and therefore cannot recommend the use of any coolant except those sold by Ford Customer
Service Division. Consult the vehicle's Owner's Guide to determine the appropriate Ford Customer
Service Division coolant for the vehicle.
Furthermore, claims of toxicological and environmental advantages of propylene glycol over
ethylene glycol may be misleading. When significant new information is developed, Ford will review
this policy.
Ford Motor Company specifications recommend that vehicles be maintained using certain ethylene
glycol-based engine coolants. Those specifications do not refer to engine coolants made with

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
Engine Coolant Temperature
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes
with temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases,
and 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.
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The ECT measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The sensor is threaded into an engine
coolant passage. The ECT sensor is similar in construction to the IAT sensor.

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
The Cylinderhead Temperature Sensor:
^ is mounted into the wall of the cylinder head and is not connected to any coolant passages.
^ sends a signal to the powertrain control module indicating the cylinder head temperature. If the temperature exceeds approximately 121°C (250°F), the powertrain control module disables
four fuel injectors at a time. The powertrain control module will alternate which fuel injectors are
disabled every 32 engine cycles. The four cylinders that are not being fuel injected act as air
pumps to aid in cooling the engine.
- If the temperature exceeds approximately 166°C (3300 F), the powertrain control module disables
all of the fuel injectors until the engine temperature drops below approximately 154°C (310°F).
^ If the engine reaches critical temperature, the following happens: The coolant temperature gauge pointer will read fully hot at approximately 121 CC (250°F).

ISSUE The majority of repeat heater core leaks are due to high flow rate or use of poor quality
coolant. However, electrolysis should also be checked, especially when repeat repairs have
occurred.
ACTION If the heater core is leaking, review the location of the leakage and check the condition of
the coolant.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Review the location of the leakage and check the condition of the coolant:
a. If leaks are found on the inlet (or outlet) tubes entering / exiting the heater core, it is most likely
due to due to high flow rate - replace the

heater core and install a restrictor in the heater hose closest to the engine block, reference
Workshop Manual, Section 412.
b. If leaks are found in the body of the heater core itself, and does not appear to be the result of
physical damage like contact or puncture, check the coolant for possible electrolysis.
Testing For Electrolysis
Check for voltage in the cooling system by touching the negative contact of a voltmeter to the
battery ground or a known good ground and suspend the positive lead in the coolant, making sure
it is in contact with the coolant but not touching any metal part of the radiator or cooling system.
Both AC and DC voltages must be checked. Vehicles normally have DC voltages; however, a faulty
engine block heater or faulty diode in the alternator can produce AC voltages. It is understood that
coolant is lost due to heater core failure but try to obtain a voltage reading on the old coolant in the
engine block before addition to or replacement of. To keep more coolant from exiting the heater
core clamp off heater core lines and measure coolant in the engine block. Try not to dilute the
original coolant with new coolant during testing if possible.
1. Determine whether coolant condition is acceptable.
a. Remove both cables from the battery and ensure they do not contact each other or the vehicle.
b. Touch negative lead of voltmeter to engine ground and positive lead in the coolant.
NOTE
POSITIVE TEST PROBE IS IN THE COOLANT FOR TESTING.
c. Check the voltage in the cooling system. If less than or equal to 0.4 volts (V) OK, reconnect
battery cables and proceed to Step 2.
d. If greater than 0.4 V, flush cooling system thoroughly.
e. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V.
f. Reconnect battery cables.
g. Refill the system with appropriate Motorcraft® engine coolant.
2. Check for loose or missing grounds at static conditions.
a. Turn off all accessories. Turn ignition on but do not start engine.
b. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.
c. Voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V on all grounds OK.
d. Any one greater than 0.4 V, check and clean ground cable connections.
e. Check accessories without using the on off switch on the vehicle instrument panel, use a jumper
wire to ground.
f. Plug in engine block heater, if equipped, and test.
g. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V.
h. Unplug engine block heater, if equipped.
3. Check for loose, missing, or inadequate grounds.
a. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.
b. Crank engine but do not start.
c. Monitor voltage while cranking. less than or equal to 0.4 V OK
d. If greater than 0.4 V, ground or repair starter.
e. Start engine and run at about 2000 rpm.
f. Turn on all accessories including those customer only uses occasionally such as CB radio, cell
phone, etc.
g. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.

ground to the accessory just identified.
j. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V
k. Turn the DVOM to AC volts.
l. Check for ANY AC voltage greater than 0.4.
m. If any AC voltage is present then try turning off each accessory one at a time including blower
motor and any fan motors.
n. If AC voltage is still present then shut engine off and remove B+ from the alternator and tape it
up then retest.
o. If voltage drop is gradual to less than or equal to 0.4 V, the ground straps may simply be
overloaded by added accessories. Test by using heavy gauge jumper to ground. If indicated, install
heavier gauge ground strap(s) and recheck.
NOTE
If vehicle is equipped with electric cooling fans, be sure they cycle during this testing and monitor
voltage when they are on and when off.
CAUTION
DO NOT GROUND HEATER CORE. IF THE HEATER CORE IS GROUNDED, YOU HAVE
PROVIDED THE ELECTROLOSIS A PATH THROUGH THE HEATER CORE. THIS WOULD
CAUSE THE HEATER CORE TO BECOME AN ANODE OR RECEIVER AND IT WOULD
PROMOTE THE ELECTROLOSIS, OR ANY STRAY VOLTAGE TO USE THE COOLANT AS THE
GROUND PATH.
4. Refill the engine cooling system, reference Workshop Manual, Section 303-03.
NOTE
IF THE HEAT OUTPUT IS INSUFFICIENT, OR THE ENGINE DOES NOT REACH NORMAL
OPERATING TEMPERATURES, VERIFY PROPER THERMOSTAT OPERATION AND REPEAT
PROCEDURE IF REQUIRED.

Heater Core: Testing and Inspection
WARNING: CARBON MONOXIDE IS COLORLESS, ODORLESS AND DANGEROUS. IF IT IS
NECESSARY TO OPERATE THE ENGINE WITH THE VEHICLE IN A CLOSED AREA SUCH AS
A GARAGE, ALWAYS USE AN EXHAUST COLLECTOR TO VENT THE EXHAUST GASES
OUTSIDE THE CLOSED AREA. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT
IN PERSONAL INJURY.
1. 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.
NOTE: Testing of returned heater cores reveals that a large percentage of heater cores are good
and a new heater core was not required. If a heater core leak is suspected, the heater core must
be tested by following the plugged heater core component test before the heater core pressure
test. Carry out a system inspection by checking the heater system thoroughly.
2. Check the integrity of the heater water hose clamps.
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.
Heater Core-Plugged
WARNING: THE HEATER CORE INLET HOSE WILL BECOME TOO HOT TO HANDLE IF THE
SYSTEM IS WORKING CORRECTLY.
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 outlet hose
to see if it is hot.
If it is not hot: the heater core may have an air pocket.
- the heater core may be plugged.
- the thermostat may not be working correctly.
Heater Core-Pressure Test Use the Radiator/Heater Core Pressure Tester to carry out the
pressure test. 1. Drain the coolant from the cooling system.
NOTE: Due to space limitations, a bench test may be necessary for pressure testing.
2. Disconnect the heater water hoses from the heater core. 3. Install a short piece of heater water
hose, approximately 101 mm (4 inches) 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 241 kPa (35 psi) of air pressure
into the heater core. 7. Observe the pressure gauge for a minimum of three 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.

ISSUE The majority of repeat heater core leaks are due to high flow rate or use of poor quality
coolant. However, electrolysis should also be checked, especially when repeat repairs have
occurred.
ACTION If the heater core is leaking, review the location of the leakage and check the condition of
the coolant.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Review the location of the leakage and check the condition of the coolant:
a. If leaks are found on the inlet (or outlet) tubes entering / exiting the heater core, it is most likely
due to due to high flow rate - replace the

heater core and install a restrictor in the heater hose closest to the engine block, reference
Workshop Manual, Section 412.
b. If leaks are found in the body of the heater core itself, and does not appear to be the result of
physical damage like contact or puncture, check the coolant for possible electrolysis.
Testing For Electrolysis
Check for voltage in the cooling system by touching the negative contact of a voltmeter to the
battery ground or a known good ground and suspend the positive lead in the coolant, making sure
it is in contact with the coolant but not touching any metal part of the radiator or cooling system.
Both AC and DC voltages must be checked. Vehicles normally have DC voltages; however, a faulty
engine block heater or faulty diode in the alternator can produce AC voltages. It is understood that
coolant is lost due to heater core failure but try to obtain a voltage reading on the old coolant in the
engine block before addition to or replacement of. To keep more coolant from exiting the heater
core clamp off heater core lines and measure coolant in the engine block. Try not to dilute the
original coolant with new coolant during testing if possible.
1. Determine whether coolant condition is acceptable.
a. Remove both cables from the battery and ensure they do not contact each other or the vehicle.
b. Touch negative lead of voltmeter to engine ground and positive lead in the coolant.
NOTE
POSITIVE TEST PROBE IS IN THE COOLANT FOR TESTING.
c. Check the voltage in the cooling system. If less than or equal to 0.4 volts (V) OK, reconnect
battery cables and proceed to Step 2.
d. If greater than 0.4 V, flush cooling system thoroughly.
e. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V.
f. Reconnect battery cables.
g. Refill the system with appropriate Motorcraft® engine coolant.
2. Check for loose or missing grounds at static conditions.

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
Engine Coolant Temperature
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes
with temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases,
and 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.
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The ECT measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The sensor is threaded into an engine
coolant passage. The ECT sensor is similar in construction to the IAT sensor.

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
The Cylinderhead Temperature Sensor:
^ is mounted into the wall of the cylinder head and is not connected to any coolant passages.
^ sends a signal to the powertrain control module indicating the cylinder head temperature. If the temperature exceeds approximately 121°C (250°F), the powertrain control module disables
four fuel injectors at a time. The powertrain control module will alternate which fuel injectors are
disabled every 32 engine cycles. The four cylinders that are not being fuel injected act as air
pumps to aid in cooling the engine.
- If the temperature exceeds approximately 166°C (3300 F), the powertrain control module disables
all of the fuel injectors until the engine temperature drops below approximately 154°C (310°F).
^ If the engine reaches critical temperature, the following happens: The coolant temperature gauge pointer will read fully hot at approximately 121 CC (250°F).

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

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

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

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

> Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 2922
In this example, the most likely cause of DTCs P0135 and P0155 (with no other DTCs present)
would be a concern with Splice "B" (refer to Figure 2).
NOTE
THIS ILLUSTRATION IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE. SPLICE NAMES "A", "B", AND "C" ARE USED IN
THIS EXAMPLE FOR CONVENIENCE ONLY. ON AN ACTUAL VEHICLE, SPLICE NAMES WILL
DEPEND ON THE CIRCUIT NUMBER FOR THE VEHICLE UNDER REPAIR. NOTE ALSO THAT
THIS FIGURE IS NOT INTENDED TO SHOW ALL SPLICES/CONNECTIONS ON ALL
VEHICLES. OTHER EEC CIRCUITS, NOT SHOWN, MAY ALSO BE SPLICED IN WITH THE
CIRCUITS SHOWN.

> Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 2923
4. View H025 PID data carefully: NGS PIDs for HO2S sensors that do not exist (with certain
exhaust configurations) will show a value of "0" volts (refer to Figures 3 and 4).
In this example, the vehicle (equipped with a 4-cylinder engine) has one upstream and one
downstream HO2S. Notice that the NGS (scan tool) display shows two upstream and two
downstream HO2S PIDs, and that the "unused" HO2S sensor PIDs display "0" volts.
5. H025 sensors measure oxygen in the exhaust, not fuel: The exhaust gas condition reported by
the HO2S sensor is based on the presence of oxygen in the exhaust, not the presence of unburned
fuel.
Example: In the event of an ignition-related misfire, you might expect a rich HO2S reading, due to
the amount of unburned fuel in the exhaust system. However, there is also a large amount of
unburned oxygen, since no combustion took place in the misfiring cylinder. Since the H025 senses
oxygen only, it would report a lean condition in this particular situation.
F2.) Tips Related to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H025) Monitor
1. OBD II Response Rate Monitor: The OBD II
Response Rate Monitor (P0133/P0153) is only run at vehicle speeds between approximately 50-95
km/h (30-60 mph), during steady-state conditions. The test lasts approximately 6 seconds.
Therefore, P0133/P0153 cannot be diagnosed at idle in the repair bay.
2. Do not compare H025 switch rate - Bank-to-Bank or vehicle-to-vehicle: Different H025 switch
rates, from Bank-to-Bank, are considered normal. The H025 switch rate, from one Bank to the
other, should not be compared as a gauge of the H025's ability to switch/react. The PCM is
continuously adjusting spark and fuel in reaction to engine operating conditions (rpm, load, air flow,
throttle angle, etc.). The PCM is also continuously adapting to certain conditions (customer driving
habits, engine and component wear, etc.).
F3.) Tips Related to Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
1. Determining catalyst efficiency/switch ratio:
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Exhaust System > Catalytic Converter > Component Information
> Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 2924
The upstream H025 sensors will have a high switch frequency, due to normal closed loop fuel
control. With an efficient catalyst, the downstream H025 will have a low switch frequency. The
switch ratio is determined by dividing the number of downstream switches by the number of
upstream switches over a given period of time. As the catalyst ages (or if the catalyst is damaged
or contaminated), the downstream switches will increase. When the downstream switch rate
crosses a threshold value (approximately 0.75 switch ratio), a code is stored (P0420 and/or P0430)
and the MIL illuminates (refer to Figures 5 and 6).
NOTE
IF A CATALYST IS DETERMINED TO HAVE LOW EFFICIENCY AND REQUIRES
REPLACEMENT, REPLACEMENT OF THE DOWNSTREAM H025 SENSORS WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
2. Use care in handling H025 sensors: In the event of catalyst replacement, use care in the
handling of H025 sensors to prevent damage or contamination. Do not use power tools in the
removal or installation of sensors. Use a 22mm wrench or crow foot to remove and install H025
sensors; do not use slotted sockets, as these sockets may damage wires. H025 sensors should be
torqued to 41 +/- 5 N.m (30 +/- 4 lb-ft).
3. Do not replace downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22) for DTCs P0420 and/or P0430:
When diagnosing a vehicle with a customer concern of MIL On and DTCs P0420/P0430 in
continuous memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22). Damaged
or malfunctioning downstream HO2S sensors will not cause these DTCs to be set. Always verify
the vehicle concern, then perform the pinpoint diagnostics in the appropriate PC/ED Service
Manual.
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Exhaust System > Catalytic Converter > Component Information
> Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 2925
F4.) Tips Related to the Fuel System Monitor
1. HO2S sensors are not likely to be the cause of adaptive DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175:
Most warranty-returned HO2S sensors (replaced for these DTCs) are found to function normally.
Additional related DTCs will normally be present if there is a concern with the HO2S sensors. Do
not replace an HO2S sensor unless verified through pinpoint diagnostic tests found in the PC/ED
Service Manual.
2. DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, and P0175 are not related to downstream H028 sensors: When
diagnosing a vehicle with a MIL On and DTC(s) P0171, P0172, P0174, and/or P0175 in continuous
memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors. These DTCs have no connection to the
downstream HO2S sensor function nor its diagnosis for faults. Always verify the vehicle concern,
then perform the pinpoint diagnostics from the appropriate PC/ED Service Manual.
3. Diagnosing lean conditions and lean DTCs P0171, P0174: Freeze Frame Data can often help to
identify the type of lean condition, even if the fault is intermittent, by indicating how the vehicle was
being driven when the fault occurred. Diagnosis of lean conditions and lean adaptive DTCs can be
difficult, especially if the concern is intermittent. Verifying the concern is extremely important. There
are different types of lean conditions. The ability to identify the type of lean condition causing the
concern can be crucial to a correct diagnosis. When DTCs P0171 and P0174 are both present,
there is a strong likelihood of another concern being present:
a. Vacuum leaks/unmetered air: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the
condition. This condition is typically caused by air entering the engine through an abnormal source
(opening), or due to a MAF malfunction. In this situation, the volume of air entering the engine is
actually greater than what the MAF is indicating to the PCM. Vacuum leaks will normally be most
apparent when high manifold vacuum is present, during idle or light throttle. If Freeze Frame Data
indicates that the fault occurred at idle, a check for vacuum leaks/unmetered air when the engine is
cold might be the best starting point.
Examples: Loose, leaking or disconnected vacuum lines, intake manifold gaskets or 0-rings,
throttle body gaskets, brake booster, air inlet tube, stuck/frozen/aftermarket PCV valve, unseated
engine oil dipstick, MAF reading lower than normal, etc.
b. Insufficient fueling: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of stoichiometry
(14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the condition. This
condition is typically caused by a fuel delivery system concern that restricts or limits the amount of
fuel being delivered to the engine. This condition will normally be most apparent when the engine is
under a heavy load, when a higher volume of fuel is required. If Freeze Frame Data indicates that
the fault occurred under a heavy load, a check of the fuel delivery system (checking fuel pressure
with engine under a load) might be the best starting point.
Examples: Low fuel pressure (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel leaks, restricted fuel supply lines), fuel
injector concerns, etc.
c. Exhaust system leaks: In this type of condition, the engine may actually be running near
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio), but the exhaust gas mixture will be lean. This condition is
caused by oxygen-rich air entering the exhaust system through an external source. This condition
will cause the exhaust gas mixture to be lean, even though the actual combustion in the engine
may not be.
Examples: Exhaust system leaks upstream or near HO2S, malfunctioning Secondary Air Injection
system
d. MAF concerns: If a MAF concern is suspected, see TSB 98-23-10.
4. Checking fuel pressure: Check fuel pressure with engine under a load when diagnosing a lean
concern. A partially plugged fuel filter can be difficult to detect and can be easily overlooked if fuel
pressure is only checked at idle. The same is true for other types of fuel supply concerns (e.g., bent
or kinked lines, degraded fuel pump).
At idle, an engine requires only a small volume of fuel. Due to the fact that there is a small volume
of fuel needed at idle, a restriction in the fuel supply line in many cases will not cause the fuel
pressure to be low. When the vehicle is under a load, the engine requires much more fuel than at
idle. Under a load, a restriction in the fuel supply line will prevent the high rate of fuel flow that is
needed to maintain the correct fuel pressure.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation
Overview
Generic Catalyst and Exhaust System
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). CO, NOx, and HCs are major air pollutants, and their emission into the atmosphere must be
controlled.
The exhaust system generally consists of an exhaust manifold, front exhaust pipe, upstream
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S), rear exhaust pipe, downstream HO2S, a muffler and an exhaust
tailpipe. The catalytic converter is installed between the front and rear exhaust pipes. Catalytic
converter efficiency is monitored by the On Board Diagnostic (OBD II) system. (Refer to OBD II
Monitors to Catalyst Efficiency Monitor-Federal Test Procedure for specific information.)
Catalytic Converter
A catalyst is a material that remains unchanged when it initiates and increases the speed of a
chemical reaction. A catalyst will also enable a chemical reaction to occur at a lower temperature.
The concentration of exhaust gas products released to the atmosphere must be controlled. The
catalytic converter assists in this task. It contains a catalyst in the form of a specially treated
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.
Exhaust System
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. An HO2S is mounted on the front exhaust pipe
before the catalyst. The catalytic converter reduces the concentration of Carbon Monoxide (CO),
unburned Hydrocarbons (HCs) and Oxides Of Nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust emissions to an
acceptable level. The reduced exhaust emissions are directed from the catalytic converter to a
muffler through the rear exhaust pipe. Another HO2S is mounted on the rear exhaust pipe. Lastly,
the exhaust emissions are directed to the atmosphere through an exhaust tailpipe.
HARDWARE
The downstream HO2S may be located after the light off catalyst or underbody catalyst. The
underbody catalyst may be in-line with the light off catalyst, or the underbody catalyst may be
common to two light off catalysts, forming a "Y" pipe configuration. For an exact configuration of the
catalyst and exhaust system, refer to Exhaust System.
Three Way Catalytic Converter
The Three Way Catalytic (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 three-way conversion can br brst
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
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Exhaust System > Catalytic Converter > Component Information
> Technical Service Bulletins > Page 2928
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.
Upstream Heated and Downstream Heated Oxygen Sensors
The HO2S provide the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with voltage and frequency information
related to the oxygen content of the exhaust gas. (Refer to the PCM Inputs for a description of how
the H02S operates.)
In addition to providing the PCM with indications of how rich/lean the engine is operating, the
upstream HO2S signal serves as an input to the H02S monitor. The downstream HO2S signal is an
input to the Catalyst Efficiency monitor. (Refer to the OBD II Monitors for specific information on
these monitors.)
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 it also
reduces the noise produced by exhaust gases as they travel from the catalytic converter to the
atmosphere.

Circuit (IC) internal to the PCM. The EEPROM contains the vehicle strategy including calibration
information specific to the vehicle. The IC has the capability to be reprogrammed or reflashed. This
is described below by the Flash EEPROM Procedure.
As part of the calibration there is an area referred to as the Vehicle Identification (VID) Block. The
VID block must be programmed when replacing the PCM and is described under Programming the
VID Block for a Replacement PCM. The VID block is an existing PCM can also be tailored to
accommodate various hardware changes made to the vehicle since production. This is described
under Making Changes to the VID Block and also under the FLASH EEPROM Procedure. The VID
block contains many items used by the strategy for a variety of functions. Some of these items
include the VID number, octane adjust, fuel octane. fuel type, vehicle speed limit, tire size, axle
ratio, the presence of speed control, four wheel drive and manual versus non manual shift on the
fly. Only items applicable to vehicle hardware and supported by the VID block will be displayed on
the scan tool.
When changing items in the VID block, the strategy will place range limits on certain items such as
tire and axle ratio. The VID block is also limited to the number of times to be reconfigured. When
this limit is reached, the scan tool will display a message indicating the need to reflash the PCM to
reset the VID block. This is accomplished by the Flash EEPROM Procedure.
Programming the VID Block for a Replacement PCM
A new PCM will contain the latest strategy and calibration level for a particular vehicle. However,
the VID block will be blank and in need of programming. There are two 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 will be performed if the old PCM is capable of communicating. This is done
by the use of the scan tool to retrieve data from the old PCM before removing from the vehicle. The
stored data can now be downloaded to the new PCM after replacing. This same process can also
be accomplished during the Flash EEPROM Procedure described below.
Manual data entry must be performed if the old module is damaged and not capable of
communicating. Remove and replace the old PCM. Contact the "AS BUILT" data center by fax for
the data needed to manually update the VID block with the scan tool. Contact the center ONLY if
the old PCM cannot be used. The following information will need to be faxed in: dealer name,
dealer P & A code, dealer phone number, dealer fax number, technician's name, VIN and module
being programmed. The necessary VID block data will then be faxed back. Enter the vehicle data
string provided by the "AS BUILT" data center. Refer to the Worldwide Diagnostic System users
manual for details.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP

and Instructions > Page 2989
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

and Instructions > Page 2990
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

Modules - Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Pump Relay > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 2991
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation
The Fuel Pump (FP) is a PCM output signal that is used to control the electric fuel pump. With the
electronic EC power relay contacts closed, vehicle power (VPWR) is sent to the coil of the fuel
pump relay. For electric fuel pump operation, the PCM grounds the FP circuit, which is connected
to the coil of the fuel pump relay. This energizes the coil and closes the contacts of the relay,
sending B+ through the FP PWR circuit to the electric fuel pump. When the ignition key is turned
on, the electric fuel pump runs for about one second, but is then turned off by the PCM if engine
rotation is not detected.
For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay (Figure
48) is wired into the fuel pump ground circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the
normally closed position, there is no extra resistance in the ground circuit for high speed operation.
For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump (LFP) circuit, which
opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, the fuel pump ground circuit now passes
through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.

Mass Air Flow Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow Sensor
Typical Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The Mass Air Flow (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 ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. If the hot wire
electronic sensing element must be replaced, then the entire assembly must be replaced.
Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.
The current required to maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the air mass 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.

Some MAF sensors have Integrated Bypass Technology (IBT) with an integrated Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) sensor. The present applications with IBT are: Focus, Escort (4V), 2.0 L
Contour/Mystique, Cougar, Taurus/Sable, Windstar, Explorer/Mountaineer and E-Series.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Camshaft Position Sensor
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor
identifies when piston No. 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) and used for synchronizing the firing of sequential fuel injectors. The Coil
On Plug (COP) Ignition applications also use the CMP signal to select the proper ignition coil to
fire. The input circuit to the PCM is referred to as the CMP input or circuit.

Clutch Switch: Description and Operation
Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
Typical Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
The Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch is an input to the PCM indicating the clutch pedal position
and, in some manual transmission applications, both the clutch pedal engagement position and the
gear shift position. The PCM provides a 5-volt reference (VREF) signal to the CPP switch and/or a
Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (on the CPP signal line). If the CPP switch (either or both CPP
and PNP switches are closed) is closed, indicating the clutch pedal is engaged and the shift lever is
in the NEUTRAL position, the output voltage (5 volts) from the PCM is grounded through the signal
return line to the PCM, and there is 1 volt or less. One volt or less indicates there is a reduced load
on the engine. If the CPP switch (or PNP switch on vehicle or both CPP and PNP switches open on
the vehicle) is open, meaning the clutch pedal is disengaged (all systems) and the shift lever is not
in NEUTRAL position (PNP switch systems), the input on the CPP signal to the PCM will be
approximately 5 volts. Then, the 5-volt signal input at the PCM will indicate a load on the engine.
The PCM uses the load information in mass air flow and fuel calculations.

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
Engine Coolant Temperature
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes
with temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases,
and 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.
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The ECT measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The sensor is threaded into an engine
coolant passage. The ECT sensor is similar in construction to the IAT sensor.

Crankshaft Position Sensor (Integrated Ignition Systems)
Three Different Types Of Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensors
The Crankshaft Position (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 Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The trigger wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced 10 degrees apart with one empty space for
a missing tooth. The 6.8L ten cylinder pulse wheel has 39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9
degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring the trigger wheel, the CKP indicates
crankshaft position and speed information to the PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP 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 fixed reference.

The Cylinderhead Temperature Sensor:
^ is mounted into the wall of the cylinder head and is not connected to any coolant passages.
^ sends a signal to the powertrain control module indicating the cylinder head temperature. If the temperature exceeds approximately 121°C (250°F), the powertrain control module disables
four fuel injectors at a time. The powertrain control module will alternate which fuel injectors are
disabled every 32 engine cycles. The four cylinders that are not being fuel injected act as air
pumps to aid in cooling the engine.
- If the temperature exceeds approximately 166°C (3300 F), the powertrain control module disables
all of the fuel injectors until the engine temperature drops below approximately 154°C (310°F).
^ If the engine reaches critical temperature, the following happens: The coolant temperature gauge pointer will read fully hot at approximately 121 CC (250°F).

Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor
Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
The Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) sensor is a diaphragm strain gauge device in which resistance
changes with pressure. The electrical resistance of a strain gauge increases as pressure
increases, and decreases as pressure decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop
across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to pressure.
Strain gauge 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 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 FRP sensor measures the pressure of the fuel near the fuel injectors. This signal is used by
the PCM to adjust the fuel injector pulse width and meter fuel to each engine combustion cylinder.
The Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) sensor senses the pressure difference between the fuel rail and the
intake manifold. The return fuel line to the fuel tank has been deleted in this type of fuel system.
The differential fuel/intake manifold pressure together with measured fuel temperature provides an
indication of the fuel vapors in the fuel rail. Both differential pressure and temperature feedback
signals are used to control the speed of the fuel pump. The speed of the fuel pump sustains fuel
rail pressure which preserve 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.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Intake Air Temperature Sensor
Intake Air Temperature (IAT)
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensors are thermistor devices in which resistance changes with
temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and
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.
Diagram Of Flow Through Throttle Body (Containing IAT Sensor Wire Where Applicable)
Some MAF sensors have Integrated Bypass Technology (IBT) with an integrated Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) sensor. The present applications with IBT are: Focus, Escort (4V), 2.0 L
Contour/Mystique, Cougar, Taurus/Sable, Windstar, Explorer/Mountaineer and E-Series.
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 MAF.
The IAT sensor provides a quicker temperature change response time than the ECT sensor.
Supercharged 5.4L Lightning vehicles use (2) IAT sensors. Both sensors operate as described
above. However, one is located before the supercharger at the air cleaner for standard OBD II/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 border-line spark and to help determine intercooler efficiency.

Engine Oil Temperature
The Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with
temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases and
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.

drop across the fixed resistor.
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The EOT measures the temperature of the engine oil. The EOT sensor is similar in construction to
the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor. On some applications, EOT input to the PCM is
used to initiate a soft engine shutdown. This prevents engine damage from occurring as a result of
high oil temperature.

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

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

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

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

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

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3089
In this example, the most likely cause of DTCs P0135 and P0155 (with no other DTCs present)
would be a concern with Splice "B" (refer to Figure 2).

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3090
4. View H025 PID data carefully: NGS PIDs for HO2S sensors that do not exist (with certain
exhaust configurations) will show a value of "0" volts (refer to Figures 3 and 4).
In this example, the vehicle (equipped with a 4-cylinder engine) has one upstream and one
downstream HO2S. Notice that the NGS (scan tool) display shows two upstream and two
downstream HO2S PIDs, and that the "unused" HO2S sensor PIDs display "0" volts.
5. H025 sensors measure oxygen in the exhaust, not fuel: The exhaust gas condition reported by
the HO2S sensor is based on the presence of oxygen in the exhaust, not the presence of unburned
fuel.
Example: In the event of an ignition-related misfire, you might expect a rich HO2S reading, due to
the amount of unburned fuel in the exhaust system. However, there is also a large amount of
unburned oxygen, since no combustion took place in the misfiring cylinder. Since the H025 senses
oxygen only, it would report a lean condition in this particular situation.
F2.) Tips Related to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H025) Monitor
1. OBD II Response Rate Monitor: The OBD II
Response Rate Monitor (P0133/P0153) is only run at vehicle speeds between approximately 50-95
km/h (30-60 mph), during steady-state conditions. The test lasts approximately 6 seconds.
Therefore, P0133/P0153 cannot be diagnosed at idle in the repair bay.
2. Do not compare H025 switch rate - Bank-to-Bank or vehicle-to-vehicle: Different H025 switch
rates, from Bank-to-Bank, are considered normal. The H025 switch rate, from one Bank to the
other, should not be compared as a gauge of the H025's ability to switch/react. The PCM is
continuously adjusting spark and fuel in reaction to engine operating conditions (rpm, load, air flow,
throttle angle, etc.). The PCM is also continuously adapting to certain conditions (customer driving
habits, engine and component wear, etc.).
F3.) Tips Related to Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
1. Determining catalyst efficiency/switch ratio:
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3091
The upstream H025 sensors will have a high switch frequency, due to normal closed loop fuel
control. With an efficient catalyst, the downstream H025 will have a low switch frequency. The
switch ratio is determined by dividing the number of downstream switches by the number of
upstream switches over a given period of time. As the catalyst ages (or if the catalyst is damaged
or contaminated), the downstream switches will increase. When the downstream switch rate
crosses a threshold value (approximately 0.75 switch ratio), a code is stored (P0420 and/or P0430)
and the MIL illuminates (refer to Figures 5 and 6).
NOTE
IF A CATALYST IS DETERMINED TO HAVE LOW EFFICIENCY AND REQUIRES
REPLACEMENT, REPLACEMENT OF THE DOWNSTREAM H025 SENSORS WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
2. Use care in handling H025 sensors: In the event of catalyst replacement, use care in the
handling of H025 sensors to prevent damage or contamination. Do not use power tools in the
removal or installation of sensors. Use a 22mm wrench or crow foot to remove and install H025
sensors; do not use slotted sockets, as these sockets may damage wires. H025 sensors should be
torqued to 41 +/- 5 N.m (30 +/- 4 lb-ft).
3. Do not replace downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22) for DTCs P0420 and/or P0430:
When diagnosing a vehicle with a customer concern of MIL On and DTCs P0420/P0430 in
continuous memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22). Damaged
or malfunctioning downstream HO2S sensors will not cause these DTCs to be set. Always verify
the vehicle concern, then perform the pinpoint diagnostics in the appropriate PC/ED Service
Manual.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3092
F4.) Tips Related to the Fuel System Monitor
1. HO2S sensors are not likely to be the cause of adaptive DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175:
Most warranty-returned HO2S sensors (replaced for these DTCs) are found to function normally.
Additional related DTCs will normally be present if there is a concern with the HO2S sensors. Do
not replace an HO2S sensor unless verified through pinpoint diagnostic tests found in the PC/ED
Service Manual.
2. DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, and P0175 are not related to downstream H028 sensors: When
diagnosing a vehicle with a MIL On and DTC(s) P0171, P0172, P0174, and/or P0175 in continuous
memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors. These DTCs have no connection to the
downstream HO2S sensor function nor its diagnosis for faults. Always verify the vehicle concern,
then perform the pinpoint diagnostics from the appropriate PC/ED Service Manual.
3. Diagnosing lean conditions and lean DTCs P0171, P0174: Freeze Frame Data can often help to
identify the type of lean condition, even if the fault is intermittent, by indicating how the vehicle was
being driven when the fault occurred. Diagnosis of lean conditions and lean adaptive DTCs can be
difficult, especially if the concern is intermittent. Verifying the concern is extremely important. There
are different types of lean conditions. The ability to identify the type of lean condition causing the
concern can be crucial to a correct diagnosis. When DTCs P0171 and P0174 are both present,
there is a strong likelihood of another concern being present:
a. Vacuum leaks/unmetered air: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the
condition. This condition is typically caused by air entering the engine through an abnormal source
(opening), or due to a MAF malfunction. In this situation, the volume of air entering the engine is
actually greater than what the MAF is indicating to the PCM. Vacuum leaks will normally be most
apparent when high manifold vacuum is present, during idle or light throttle. If Freeze Frame Data
indicates that the fault occurred at idle, a check for vacuum leaks/unmetered air when the engine is
cold might be the best starting point.
Examples: Loose, leaking or disconnected vacuum lines, intake manifold gaskets or 0-rings,
throttle body gaskets, brake booster, air inlet tube, stuck/frozen/aftermarket PCV valve, unseated
engine oil dipstick, MAF reading lower than normal, etc.
b. Insufficient fueling: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of stoichiometry
(14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the condition. This
condition is typically caused by a fuel delivery system concern that restricts or limits the amount of
fuel being delivered to the engine. This condition will normally be most apparent when the engine is
under a heavy load, when a higher volume of fuel is required. If Freeze Frame Data indicates that
the fault occurred under a heavy load, a check of the fuel delivery system (checking fuel pressure
with engine under a load) might be the best starting point.
Examples: Low fuel pressure (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel leaks, restricted fuel supply lines), fuel
injector concerns, etc.
c. Exhaust system leaks: In this type of condition, the engine may actually be running near
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio), but the exhaust gas mixture will be lean. This condition is
caused by oxygen-rich air entering the exhaust system through an external source. This condition
will cause the exhaust gas mixture to be lean, even though the actual combustion in the engine
may not be.
Examples: Exhaust system leaks upstream or near HO2S, malfunctioning Secondary Air Injection
system
d. MAF concerns: If a MAF concern is suspected, see TSB 98-23-10.
4. Checking fuel pressure: Check fuel pressure with engine under a load when diagnosing a lean
concern. A partially plugged fuel filter can be difficult to detect and can be easily overlooked if fuel
pressure is only checked at idle. The same is true for other types of fuel supply concerns (e.g., bent
or kinked lines, degraded fuel pump).
At idle, an engine requires only a small volume of fuel. Due to the fact that there is a small volume
of fuel needed at idle, a restriction in the fuel supply line in many cases will not cause the fuel
pressure to be low. When the vehicle is under a load, the engine requires much more fuel than at
idle. Under a load, a restriction in the fuel supply line will prevent the high rate of fuel flow that is
needed to maintain the correct fuel pressure.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.

A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.

Heated Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation
Heated Oxygen Sensor
The Heated Oxygen Sensor (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 low voltage signal less than 0.4 volt. A low concentration of
oxygen (rich air/fuel ratio) produces a high 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.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
Embedded with the sensing element is the HO2S heater. The heating element heats the sensor to
temperatures of 800°C (1400°F). At approximately 300°C (600°F) the engine can enter closed loop
operation. The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater and the PCM will complete the ground
when the proper conditions occur. For model year 1998 a new HO2S heater and heater control
system are installed on some vehicles. The high power heater reaches closed loop fuel control
temperatures. The use of this heater requires that the HO2S heater control be duty cycled, to
prevent damage to the heater. The 6 ohm design is not interchangeable with new style 3.3 ohm
heater.
The HO2S:
^ has the ability to create a voltage signal dependent on exhaust oxygen content.
^ provides feedback information to the powertrain control module used to calculate fuel delivery.
The rear HO2S:
^ monitors oxygen content after it flows through the catalytic converter.
^ provides a voltage to the powertrain control module used to calculate catalytic converter integrity.

Power Steering Pressure Switch
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
The Power Steering Pressure (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 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 transmission Electronic Pressure Control (EPC)
pressure during the increased engine load, for example during parking maneuvers.

Differential Pressure Feedback 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 sensor receives this signal through two 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 aluminum 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
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The Throttle Position (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
three-blade electrical connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases corrosion
resistance on terminals and increases connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on the
throttle body. As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, four operating conditions are
determined by the PCM from the TP. Those 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), and throttle angle rate.
The TP sensor
^ sends the powertrain control module a signal indicating the throttle plate angle.

Digital Transmission Range Sensor: Description and Operation
Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
Typical Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
The Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch is an input to the PCM indicating the clutch pedal position
and, in some manual transmission applications, both the clutch pedal engagement position and the
gear shift position. The PCM provides a 5-volt reference (VREF) signal to the CPP switch and/or a
Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (on the CPP signal line). If the CPP switch (either or both CPP
and PNP switches are closed) is closed, indicating the clutch pedal is engaged and the shift lever is
in the NEUTRAL position, the output voltage (5 volts) from the PCM is grounded through the signal
return line to the PCM, and there is 1 volt or less. One volt or less indicates there is a reduced load
on the engine. If the CPP switch (or PNP switch on vehicle or both CPP and PNP switches open on
the vehicle) is open, meaning the clutch pedal is disengaged (all systems) and the shift lever is not
in NEUTRAL position (PNP switch systems), the input on the CPP signal to the PCM will be
approximately 5 volts. Then, the 5-volt signal input at the PCM will indicate a load on the engine.
The PCM uses the load information in mass air flow and fuel calculations.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.

This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.

A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram

circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.

The following 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.

Vehicle Speed Sensor
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (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.

Mass Air Flow Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow Sensor
Typical Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The Mass Air Flow (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 ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. If the hot wire
electronic sensing element must be replaced, then the entire assembly must be replaced.
Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.
The current required to maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the air mass 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.

assembly.

Fuel Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Engine Fuel Temperature Sensor
The Engine Fuel Temperature (EFT) sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes
with temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as temperature increases,
and increases as 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 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.
Engine Fuel Temperature (EFT) Sensor
The EFT sensor measures the temperature of the fuel near the fuel injectors. This signal is used by
the PCM to adjust the fuel injector pulse width and meter fuel to each engine combustion cylinder.

Inertia Fuel Shutoff Switch: Description and Operation
Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) Switch
Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) Switch
The Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch is used in conjunction with the electric fuel pump. The purpose
of the IFS switch is to shut off 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 Guide for the location of the IFS.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Throttle Position Sensor
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The Throttle Position (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
three-blade electrical connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases corrosion
resistance on terminals and increases connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on the
throttle body. As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, four operating conditions are
determined by the PCM from the TP. Those 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), and throttle angle rate.
The TP sensor
^ sends the powertrain control module a signal indicating the throttle plate angle.
^ is the main input to the powertrain control module from the driver.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Camshaft Position Sensor
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor
identifies when piston No. 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) and used for synchronizing the firing of sequential fuel injectors. The Coil
On Plug (COP) Ignition applications also use the CMP signal to select the proper ignition coil to
fire. The input circuit to the PCM is referred to as the CMP input or circuit.
Typical Hall-Effect Sensor
Typical Variable Reluctant Sensor
There are two types of CMP sensors: the three pin connector Hall-effect type sensor and the two
pin connector variable reluctance sensor.

Crankshaft Position Sensor (Integrated Ignition Systems)
Three Different Types Of Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensors
The Crankshaft Position (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 Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The trigger wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced 10 degrees apart with one empty space for
a missing tooth. The 6.8L ten cylinder pulse wheel has 39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9
degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring the trigger wheel, the CKP indicates
crankshaft position and speed information to the PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP 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 fixed reference.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to include vehicles, update model years, and
include a Lock Lever Kit Application Chart.
ISSUE The current door, decklid, ignition, and stowage locks cannot be serviced individually.
Current lock repair practice is to replace the entire lock set (-22050-) when one (1) or more locks
must be replaced. The release of this TSB and associated parts will allow replacement of any
individual malfunctioning lock (i.e., door lock, ignition lock, decklid lock, etc.) instead of replacing
the entire lockset. This TSB only applies to the 8-bit locks introduced in 1996. The 10-bit lock is not
affected.
ACTION Lock service packages have been released that contain all the necessary components to
re-pin a new lock cylinder to the customer's current key code. It allows the service community to
replace the individual lock cylinder on a given vehicle rather than replace the entire lockset. For
removal and installation procedures for all lock cylinders, refer to the following Service Procedure
for details.
NOTE
MOST MODELS BUILT DURING THE 1996 MODEL YEAR HAVE BOTH THE 10-BIT AND 8-BIT
LOCKS ON THEM. CHECK THE BUILD DATE OF THE VEHICLE TO ENSURE THE USE OF
THE CORRECT STYLE OF LOCK WHEN SERVICING ANY LOCK ON A 1996 VEHICLE. THE
10-BIT LOCKS ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THIS TSB AND MUST BE SERVICED BY REPLACING
THE COMPLETE LOCK SET. THE TWO STYLES ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE.

^ For ignition lock concerns, see appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 11-04 or
Workshop Manual, Section 211-04.
^ Other lock concerns, see appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 01-14A or Workshop
Manual, Section 501-14.
Obtain the lock service package for the vehicle being serviced by referring to the Part Number And
Usage Chart for correct application.
Determine the matching key cut depth at each key station (any of the following three methods may
be used to determine the key cut depth at each key station).
^ Use the OEM key code provided with the vehicle and look up the cut pattern in the key code table
(the selling dealer should have the key code or the customer may be able to provide it). A key code
table comes with the Rotunda Key Cutter (011-00215).
^ Use a "key decoder" to determine each cut height. A decoder may be included with the Rotunda
Key Cutter or can be ordered separately through Rotunda (Decoder Part Number 011-RMT61).
Equivalent decoders are commonly available through the locksmith industry. A key decoder is a
plate with an elongated slot corresponding to the different key cut heights.
^ Using the customers key, measure the key cut depth at each key station using Figure 2 of the
instruction sheet contained within each lock service package.
One of the steps in building a new lock is to insert the key and verify the tumblers are flush to the
cylinder. This step is clearly spelled out in the instruction sheet. This will ensure that the lock is
rebuilt properly before it's installed in the vehicle.
Each lock service package will include a unique detailed instruction sheet on how to re-pin that
individual lock cylinder. If further assistance is needed, call Ford Motor Company toll-free at (800)
826-4694 (direct dial at (313) 248-4200) between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM ET (all U.S. and Canadian
dealers only).
For technical questions regarding the lock service pack re-pinning process, call Ford Interior
Systems at (313) 337-3041.
A special service tool is required to properly install (crimp) the round dust covers on the door lock
cylinder. This special service tool has been provided through a special mailing to all North
American servicing dealers. If additional tools are required, contact Rotunda Tools at (800)
768-8632 (direct dial at (810) 574-2332, ask for OTC order desk) to purchase a new tool
(501-O51A).

5. Inspect for carbon fouling, identified by black, dry, fluffy carbon deposits on insulator tips,
exposed shell surfaces and electrodes. This is caused
by a spark plug with an incorrect heat range, dirty air cleaner, too rich a fuel mixture or excessive
idling. ^
Clean the spark plug.
6. Inspect for normal burning.
^ Check for light tan or gray deposits on the firing tip.
7. Inspect for pre-ignition,
^ identified by melted electrodes and possibly a damaged insulator. Metallic deposits on the
insulator indicate engine damage, which may be caused by incorrect ignition timing, wrong type of
fuel or the installation of a heli-coil insert in place of the spark plug threads.
^ Install a new spark plug.
8. Inspect for overheating, identified by a white or light gray insulator with small black or gray-brown
spots with bluish-burnt appearance of
electrodes. This can be caused by engine overheating, the wrong type of fuel, loose spark plugs,
spark plugs with an incorrect heat range, low fuel pump pressure or incorrect ignition timing.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
General Remarks
Note: Removing fuses and disconnecting electrical components causes the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) to log an error message. After the measurements have been carried out this error
message should be cleared from memory by connecting to PDU.
Note: Only check the compression pressure with the valves set to the prescribed clearance (if this
can be adjusted).
The compression pressure should be checked with the engine at operating temperature.
Check The Compression Pressure
WARNING: On manual transmissions shift the transmission into neutral. On automatic
transmission vehicles, select "P". Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
1. Remove the fuel pump relay. 2. Start the engine - the engine will start, run for a few seconds
then stall. 3. Remove the spark plugs. 4. Install the compression tester. 5. Install an auxiliary starter
switch in the starting circuit. With the ignition switch OFF, using the auxiliary starter switch, crank
the engine a
minimum of five compression strokes and record the highest reading. Note the approximate
number of compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
6. Repeat the test on each cylinder, cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes. 7. Install the components in reverse order, observing the specified tightening
torques. 8. Reset the PCM fault memory.
Interpretation of the Results
The indicated compression pressure are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75% of the highest reading.
CAUTION: If engine oil is sprayed into the combustion chamber, after carrying out the
measurement run the engine at 2000 rpm for about 15 minutes, in order to burn the oil and prevent
damage to the catalytic converter.
If the measurement on one or more cylinders is much lower than the specified value, spray some
engine oil into the combustion chamber and repeat the compression measurement. If the reading
greatly improves, the piston rings are damaged. If the reading stays the same, the cause is either
damaged valve seats or valve stem seals. If the measurements for two cylinders next to each other
are both too low then it is very likely that the cylinder head gasket between them is burnt through.
This can also be recognized by traces of engine oil in the coolant and/or coolant in the engine oil.

Mass Air Flow Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow Sensor
Typical Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The Mass Air Flow (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 ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. If the hot wire
electronic sensing element must be replaced, then the entire assembly must be replaced.
Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.
The current required to maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the air mass 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.

Some MAF sensors have Integrated Bypass Technology (IBT) with an integrated Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) sensor. The present applications with IBT are: Focus, Escort (4V), 2.0 L
Contour/Mystique, Cougar, Taurus/Sable, Windstar, Explorer/Mountaineer and E-Series.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Intake Air Temperature Sensor
Intake Air Temperature (IAT)
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensors are thermistor devices in which resistance changes with
temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and
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.

Temperature (IAT) sensor. The present applications with IBT are: Focus, Escort (4V), 2.0 L
Contour/Mystique, Cougar, Taurus/Sable, Windstar, Explorer/Mountaineer and E-Series.
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.
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Intake Air Temperature Sensor
<--> [Intake Air Temperature Sensor] > Component Information > Locations > Page 3286
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 MAF.
The IAT sensor provides a quicker temperature change response time than the ECT sensor.
Supercharged 5.4L Lightning vehicles use (2) IAT sensors. Both sensors operate as described
above. However, one is located before the supercharger at the air cleaner for standard OBD II/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 border-line spark and to help determine intercooler efficiency.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Camshaft Position Sensor
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor
identifies when piston No. 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) and used for synchronizing the firing of sequential fuel injectors. The Coil
On Plug (COP) Ignition applications also use the CMP signal to select the proper ignition coil to
fire. The input circuit to the PCM is referred to as the CMP input or circuit.
Typical Hall-Effect Sensor

Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
Typical Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
The Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch is an input to the PCM indicating the clutch pedal position
and, in some manual transmission applications, both the clutch pedal engagement position and the
gear shift position. The PCM provides a 5-volt reference (VREF) signal to the CPP switch and/or a
Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (on the CPP signal line). If the CPP switch (either or both CPP
and PNP switches are closed) is closed, indicating the clutch pedal is engaged and the shift lever is
in the NEUTRAL position, the output voltage (5 volts) from the PCM is grounded through the signal
return line to the PCM, and there is 1 volt or less. One volt or less indicates there is a reduced load
on the engine. If the CPP switch (or PNP switch on vehicle or both CPP and PNP switches open on
the vehicle) is open, meaning the clutch pedal is disengaged (all systems) and the shift lever is not
in NEUTRAL position (PNP switch systems), the input on the CPP signal to the PCM will be
approximately 5 volts. Then, the 5-volt signal input at the PCM will indicate a load on the engine.
The PCM uses the load information in mass air flow and fuel calculations.

Crankshaft Position Sensor (Integrated Ignition Systems)
Three Different Types Of Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensors
The Crankshaft Position (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 Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The trigger wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced 10 degrees apart with one empty space for
a missing tooth. The 6.8L ten cylinder pulse wheel has 39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9
degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring the trigger wheel, the CKP indicates
crankshaft position and speed information to the PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP 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 fixed reference.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.

point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Data Link Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3327
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

Powertrain Control Module: Reset Procedure
Flash Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory-Flash EEPROM
Flash Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory is contained in an Integrated
Circuit (IC) internal to the PCM. The EEPROM contains the vehicle strategy including calibration
information specific to the vehicle. The IC has the capability to be reprogrammed or reflashed. This
is described below by the Flash EEPROM Procedure.
As part of the calibration there is an area referred to as the Vehicle Identification (VID) Block. The
VID block must be programmed when replacing the PCM and is described under Programming the
VID Block for a Replacement PCM. The VID block is an existing PCM can also be tailored to
accommodate various hardware changes made to the vehicle since production. This is described
under Making Changes to the VID Block and also under the FLASH EEPROM Procedure. The VID
block contains many items used by the strategy for a variety of functions. Some of these items
include the VID number, octane adjust, fuel octane. fuel type, vehicle speed limit, tire size, axle
ratio, the presence of speed control, four wheel drive and manual versus non manual shift on the
fly. Only items applicable to vehicle hardware and supported by the VID block will be displayed on
the scan tool.
When changing items in the VID block, the strategy will place range limits on certain items such as
tire and axle ratio. The VID block is also limited to the number of times to be reconfigured. When
this limit is reached, the scan tool will display a message indicating the need to reflash the PCM to
reset the VID block. This is accomplished by the Flash EEPROM Procedure.
Programming the VID Block for a Replacement PCM
A new PCM will contain the latest strategy and calibration level for a particular vehicle. However,
the VID block will be blank and in need of programming. There are two 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 will be performed if the old PCM is capable of communicating. This is done
by the use of the scan tool to retrieve data from the old PCM before removing from the vehicle. The
stored data can now be downloaded to the new PCM after replacing. This same process can also
be accomplished during the Flash EEPROM Procedure described below.
Manual data entry must be performed if the old module is damaged and not capable of
communicating. Remove and replace the old PCM. Contact the "AS BUILT" data center by fax for
the data needed to manually update the VID block with the scan tool. Contact the center ONLY if
the old PCM cannot be used. The following information will need to be faxed in: dealer name,
dealer P & A code, dealer phone number, dealer fax number, technician's name, VIN and module
being programmed. The necessary VID block data will then be faxed back. Enter the vehicle data
string provided by the "AS BUILT" data center. Refer to the Worldwide Diagnostic System users
manual for details.

four fuel injectors at a time. The powertrain control module will alternate which fuel injectors are
disabled every 32 engine cycles. The four cylinders that are not being fuel injected act as air
pumps to aid in cooling the engine.
- If the temperature exceeds approximately 166°C (3300 F), the powertrain control module disables
all of the fuel injectors until the engine temperature drops below approximately 154°C (310°F).
^ If the engine reaches critical temperature, the following happens: The coolant temperature gauge pointer will read fully hot at approximately 121 CC (250°F).

Fuel Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation
Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor
Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
The Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) sensor is a diaphragm strain gauge device in which resistance
changes with pressure. The electrical resistance of a strain gauge increases as pressure
increases, and decreases as pressure decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop
across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to pressure.
Strain gauge 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 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 FRP sensor measures the pressure of the fuel near the fuel injectors. This signal is used by
the PCM to adjust the fuel injector pulse width and meter fuel to each engine combustion cylinder.
The Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) sensor senses the pressure difference between the fuel rail and the
intake manifold. The return fuel line to the fuel tank has been deleted in this type of fuel system.
The differential fuel/intake manifold pressure together with measured fuel temperature provides an
indication of the fuel vapors in the fuel rail. Both differential pressure and temperature feedback
signals are used to control the speed of the fuel pump. The speed of the fuel pump sustains fuel
rail pressure which preserve 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.

Nippondenso Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve Assembly
Hitachi Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve Assembly with Vent/Filter
Hitachi Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve Assembly with Air-Assist Injectors
The Idle Air Control (IAC) valve assembly controls 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 AC duty cycle in order to achieve the desired rpm.
On applications with air-assisted injectors, the IAC valve also supplies a small amount of air into
the path of the fuel injectors. The jet of air causes an increase in fuel atomization at low speed and
light load conditions.

NOTE: The IAC Valve Assembly is NOT ADJUSTABLE and CANNOT BE CLEANED.
The IAC valve (part of throttle body assembly) has an internal diode on some applications. If the
internal diode is measured in crossed terminal position with a digital multimeter, there will be an
incorrect or negative reading. It is important that the mating component and harness connectors
are correctly oriented. Diagnostic procedures emphasize this importance.
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.
^ Air Assist to Injectors.

Idle Air Control Valve Noise Test
1. Open the hood. 2. Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
NOTE: ^
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
^ "Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
3. Inspect the IAC valve. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new IAC valve. 4.
While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the IAC valve and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm
(0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean air tube. If the IAC valve is making the noise,
install a new IAC valve.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.

Multiplex Communication Network: Diagnostic Aids
HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Multiplex Communication Network
<--> [Information Bus] > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3394
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))

<--> [Information Bus] > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3395
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Multiplex Communication Network
<--> [Information Bus] > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3396
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

Multiplex Communication Network: Description and Operation
Module Communications Network
The vehicle has two module communication networks. The Standard Corporate Protocol (SCP)
communication network, which is an unshielded twisted pair cable (data bus plus, Circuit 914
[TN/OG] and data bus minus, Circuit 915 [PK/LB]) and the International Standards Organization
(ISO) 9141
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Multiplex Communication Network
<--> [Information Bus] > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description and Operation > Page 3405
communications network which is a single-wire network (Circuit 70 [LB/W]). Both networks can be
connected to the scan tool by one connector called the Data Link Connector (DLC). This makes
diagnosis and testing these systems easier by allowing one smart tester to be able to diagnose and
control any module on the two networks from one connector. The DLC can be found under the
instrument panel between the steering column and the radio.
The ISO 9141 communication network does not permit intermodule communication. When the scan
tool communicates to modules on the ISO 9141 communication network, the scan tool must ask for
all information; the modules cannot initiate communications.
The SCP communication network will remain operational even with the severing of one of the bus
wires. Communications will also continue if one of the bus wires is shorted to ground or battery
positive voltage (B +), or if some but not all termination resistors are lost.
Unlike the SCP communication network, the ISO 9141 communication network will not function if
the wire is shorted to ground or battery positive voltage (B+). Also, if one of the modules on the ISO
9141 communication network loses power or shorts internally, communications to that module will
fail.
The Electronic Crash Sensor (ECS) is connected to the ISO 9141 communication network. The
ECS controls the deployment of the air bags based on sensor input. For additional information,
refer to Air Bag Systems.
The Driver Door Module (DDM) is connected to the SCP communication network. The module
controls many functions including power windows, power locks and keyless remote entry.
The Lighting Control Module (LCM) is connected to the SCP communication network. The LCM
controls both interior and exterior lighting, anti-theft functions and warning chimes. For additional
information on interior lighting, refer to Lighting and Horns. For additional information on exterior
lighting, refer to Lighting and Horns. For additional information on anti-theft, refer to Antitheft and
Alarm Systems. For additional information on warning chimes, refer to Instrument Panel, Gauges
and Warning Indicators.
The Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC) module is connected to the SCP
communication network. The EATC module controls automatic climate functions that maintain the
vehicle at a constant temperature setting. For additional information, refer to Heating and Air
Conditioning.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is connected to the SCP communication network. The PCM
controls the engine performance, electronic ignition, emission controls and on-board diagnostics.
For additional information, refer to Symptom Charts in the Computers and Control Systems.
The Natural Gas Vehicle Module (NGVM) calculates fuel level based on inputs from the fuel tank
pressure sensor and the fuel tank temperature sensor. The NGVM then provides a voltage signal
to the instrument cluster to drive the fuel gauge. The NGVM also has separate injector drivers to
run the injectors at the higher operating pressure of natural gas. The NGVM does not perform any
calculations for this function; calibration for the injectors is maintained in the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM). For additional information, refer to Pinpoint Tests in Computers and Control
Systems.
The anti-lock brake control module is connected to the SCP communication network. The module
controls the brake pressure to the four wheels to keep the vehicle under control while braking. For
additional information, refer to Antilock Brake System.
The Passive Anti-theft System (PATS) module is on the SCP communication network. The PATS
module communicates with the PCM to disable and start the vehicle based on a signal received
from an encoded ignition key signal. For additional information on anti-theft, refer to Antitheft and
Alarm Systems.

Some modules support the ability to change specified factory configuration settings and preset
preference items. The process used to change the settings and customer preference items is
module configuration. There are three different methods of module configuration.
^ Programmable Module Installation (PMI)
^ customer preference items
^ manufacturer options
There are three storage locations for module configuration information. One primary storage
location and two secondary (or backup) storage locations.
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Multiplex Communication Network
<--> [Information Bus] > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description and Operation > Page 3407
^ Primary location is the memory of the specific module.
^ First backup location is the VID block memory of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
^ Second backup is the As-Built Data Center. During PMI, the scan tool will attempt to extract the
module configuration information from the module to be changed. If this is unsuccessful, the scan
tool will use the first backup and attempt to extract the module configuration information from the
VID block in the PCM. If this also fails, the scan tool will display instructions to contact the As-Built
Data Center. This is the only time the As-Built Data Center should be contacted.
Programmable Module Installation (PMI)
NOTE: If the powertrain control module (PCM) needs to have a powertrain calibration flash
programmed, refer to Computers and Control Systems. Make sure to use the flash cable when
programming calibrations or running a PMI routine on the PCM.
The PMI configuration method is used when a new programmable module is to be installed. During
the PMI routine the scan tool attempts to gather two pieces of information: ^
Option content information from the old module. (module configuration and customer preference
settings)
^ The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) from the PCM.
During PMI the scan tool first looks to the PCM for the VIN number of the vehicle. Once the VIN is
retrieved the scan tool will carry out a self-test of the suspect module to determine if the module
has been configured. ^
If DTC B2477 is present the module does not contain complete configuration information. The PMI
routine will then halt and give instructions on how to proceed.
^ If DTC B2477 is not present the module will allow the scan tool to retrieve its option content
information. The scan tool will then store the option content information and the VIN.
The scan tool can store the combined option content information and VIN for only one module at a
time. Once information is stored, the scan tool cannot be used to retrieve any other option content
information without erasing the previous option content information. Make sure the new module is
onhand for installation before retrieving option content information data from the old module.
After the new module is installed, use the scan tool to restore the option content information into
the new module.
Vehicle Identification (VID) Block
NOTE: ^
If the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) needs to have a powertrain calibration flash programmed,
refer to Computers and Control Systems. Make sure to use the fash cable when programming
calibrations or running a PMI routine on the PCM.
^ When carrying out a PMI routine on any non-PCM module, use the OBDII cable.
^ Flash programming powertrain calibrations onto the PCM is different than PMI. It has no effect on
the backup data in the VID block memory area of the PCM.
The PCM contains a memory area called a Vehicle Identification (VID) block. A portion of the VID
block is used to store the backup data for each programmable module on the vehicle.
The VID block is the first backup of information when using the PMI configuration method. If the
scan tool cannot retrieve option content information from the suspect module, the scan tool will
attempt to extract backup information from the VID block of the PCM.
The VID block is not related to or effected by the powertrain calibration information stored in the
PCM. If a new powertrain calibration has been flashed onto the PCM, the VID block will not be
affected.
If using the PMI routine to install a new PCM, the scan tool will reprogram only VID information.
The engine calibration information may still need to be flashed. For more information, refer to
Computers and Control Systems for flash programming information.
As-Built Data Center The As-Built Data Center keeps a record of the vehicle configuration in a
database retrievable using the VIN. The As-Built Data Center records the applicable module
configurations stored in each module before the vehicle leaves the factory. The As-Built Data
Center will always reflect the original build of the vehicle as it left the factory. Only contact the
As-Built Data Center when directed to do so by the scan tool.
Customer Preference Items This method is used to enable or disable module-controlled items or
systems to suit the preference of the customer. Not all features controlled by the module are listed
in this configuration method. Refer to the Module Configuration Index for a list of features per
module.
If an item is changed using the customer preference items configuration method, the changed
information will not be stored in the PCM VID block. The VID block will retain the original settings
as they were recorded when the vehicle left the factory.
Manufacturer Options This method of configuration is used on modules that do not support PMI.
This method is used to enable or disable module-configurable features to set module option
content of the vehicle and the preference of the customer. Refer to the Module Configuration Index
for a list of features per

Test Notes
CAUTION:
^ Be careful when probing the fuse junction panel, power distribution box or any connectors.
Damage will result to the connector receptacle if the probe or terminal being used is too large.
^ Electronic modules are sensitive to static electrical charges. If exposed to these charges, damage
may result.
NOTE: If DTCs are recorded and the symptom is not present when performing the Pinpoint Tests,
an intermittent concern may be the cause. Always check for loose connections and corroded
terminals.

CHECK ENGINE, SERVICE ENGINE SOON, or ISO Standard Engine Symbol
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) alerts the driver that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
has detected an On Board Diagnostic (OBD) II emission-related component or system fault. When
this occurs, an OBD II Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set.
- The MIL is located on the instrument cluster and is labeled CHECK ENGINE, SERVICE ENGINE
SOON or ISO standard engine symbol.
- Power is supplied to the MIL whenever the ignition switch is in the RUN or START position.
- The MIL will remain on in the RUN/START mode as a bulb check during the instrument cluster
proveout for approximately 4 seconds.
- If the MIL remains on after the bulb check: The PCM illuminates the MIL for an emission related concern and a DTC will be present.
- The instrument cluster will illuminate the MIL if the PCM does not send a control message to the
instrument cluster.
- The PCM is operating in the Hardware Limited Operation Strategy (HLOS).
- The MIL circuit is shorted to ground.
- If the MIL remains off (during the bulb check): Bulb is damaged.
- MIL circuit is open.
- To turn off the MIL after a repair, a reset command from the Scan Tool must be sent, or three
consecutive drive cycles must be completed without a fault.
- For any MIL concern Symptom Charts.
- If the MIL blinks at a steady rate, a severe misfire condition could possibly exist.
- If the MIL blinks erratically, an intermittent open B+ to the bulb or an intermittent short to ground in
the MIL circuit exist. Also, the PCM can reset while cranking if battery voltage is low.

Oil Temperature Sensor For ECM: Description and Operation
Engine Oil Temperature
The Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with
temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases and
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.
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The EOT measures the temperature of the engine oil. The EOT sensor is similar in construction to
the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor. On some applications, EOT input to the PCM is
used to initiate a soft engine shutdown. This prevents engine damage from occurring as a result of
high oil temperature.

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

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

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

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

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

Diagnosis > Page 3501
4. View H025 PID data carefully: NGS PIDs for HO2S sensors that do not exist (with certain
exhaust configurations) will show a value of "0" volts (refer to Figures 3 and 4).
In this example, the vehicle (equipped with a 4-cylinder engine) has one upstream and one
downstream HO2S. Notice that the NGS (scan tool) display shows two upstream and two
downstream HO2S PIDs, and that the "unused" HO2S sensor PIDs display "0" volts.
5. H025 sensors measure oxygen in the exhaust, not fuel: The exhaust gas condition reported by
the HO2S sensor is based on the presence of oxygen in the exhaust, not the presence of unburned
fuel.
Example: In the event of an ignition-related misfire, you might expect a rich HO2S reading, due to
the amount of unburned fuel in the exhaust system. However, there is also a large amount of
unburned oxygen, since no combustion took place in the misfiring cylinder. Since the H025 senses
oxygen only, it would report a lean condition in this particular situation.
F2.) Tips Related to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H025) Monitor
1. OBD II Response Rate Monitor: The OBD II
Response Rate Monitor (P0133/P0153) is only run at vehicle speeds between approximately 50-95
km/h (30-60 mph), during steady-state conditions. The test lasts approximately 6 seconds.
Therefore, P0133/P0153 cannot be diagnosed at idle in the repair bay.
2. Do not compare H025 switch rate - Bank-to-Bank or vehicle-to-vehicle: Different H025 switch
rates, from Bank-to-Bank, are considered normal. The H025 switch rate, from one Bank to the
other, should not be compared as a gauge of the H025's ability to switch/react. The PCM is
continuously adjusting spark and fuel in reaction to engine operating conditions (rpm, load, air flow,
throttle angle, etc.). The PCM is also continuously adapting to certain conditions (customer driving
habits, engine and component wear, etc.).
F3.) Tips Related to Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
1. Determining catalyst efficiency/switch ratio:
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <-->
[Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability
Diagnosis > Page 3502
The upstream H025 sensors will have a high switch frequency, due to normal closed loop fuel
control. With an efficient catalyst, the downstream H025 will have a low switch frequency. The
switch ratio is determined by dividing the number of downstream switches by the number of
upstream switches over a given period of time. As the catalyst ages (or if the catalyst is damaged
or contaminated), the downstream switches will increase. When the downstream switch rate
crosses a threshold value (approximately 0.75 switch ratio), a code is stored (P0420 and/or P0430)
and the MIL illuminates (refer to Figures 5 and 6).
NOTE
IF A CATALYST IS DETERMINED TO HAVE LOW EFFICIENCY AND REQUIRES
REPLACEMENT, REPLACEMENT OF THE DOWNSTREAM H025 SENSORS WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
2. Use care in handling H025 sensors: In the event of catalyst replacement, use care in the
handling of H025 sensors to prevent damage or contamination. Do not use power tools in the
removal or installation of sensors. Use a 22mm wrench or crow foot to remove and install H025
sensors; do not use slotted sockets, as these sockets may damage wires. H025 sensors should be
torqued to 41 +/- 5 N.m (30 +/- 4 lb-ft).
3. Do not replace downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22) for DTCs P0420 and/or P0430:
When diagnosing a vehicle with a customer concern of MIL On and DTCs P0420/P0430 in
continuous memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22). Damaged
or malfunctioning downstream HO2S sensors will not cause these DTCs to be set. Always verify
the vehicle concern, then perform the pinpoint diagnostics in the appropriate PC/ED Service
Manual.

Diagnosis > Page 3503
F4.) Tips Related to the Fuel System Monitor
1. HO2S sensors are not likely to be the cause of adaptive DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175:
Most warranty-returned HO2S sensors (replaced for these DTCs) are found to function normally.
Additional related DTCs will normally be present if there is a concern with the HO2S sensors. Do
not replace an HO2S sensor unless verified through pinpoint diagnostic tests found in the PC/ED
Service Manual.
2. DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, and P0175 are not related to downstream H028 sensors: When
diagnosing a vehicle with a MIL On and DTC(s) P0171, P0172, P0174, and/or P0175 in continuous
memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors. These DTCs have no connection to the
downstream HO2S sensor function nor its diagnosis for faults. Always verify the vehicle concern,
then perform the pinpoint diagnostics from the appropriate PC/ED Service Manual.
3. Diagnosing lean conditions and lean DTCs P0171, P0174: Freeze Frame Data can often help to
identify the type of lean condition, even if the fault is intermittent, by indicating how the vehicle was
being driven when the fault occurred. Diagnosis of lean conditions and lean adaptive DTCs can be
difficult, especially if the concern is intermittent. Verifying the concern is extremely important. There
are different types of lean conditions. The ability to identify the type of lean condition causing the
concern can be crucial to a correct diagnosis. When DTCs P0171 and P0174 are both present,
there is a strong likelihood of another concern being present:
a. Vacuum leaks/unmetered air: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the
condition. This condition is typically caused by air entering the engine through an abnormal source
(opening), or due to a MAF malfunction. In this situation, the volume of air entering the engine is
actually greater than what the MAF is indicating to the PCM. Vacuum leaks will normally be most
apparent when high manifold vacuum is present, during idle or light throttle. If Freeze Frame Data
indicates that the fault occurred at idle, a check for vacuum leaks/unmetered air when the engine is
cold might be the best starting point.
Examples: Loose, leaking or disconnected vacuum lines, intake manifold gaskets or 0-rings,
throttle body gaskets, brake booster, air inlet tube, stuck/frozen/aftermarket PCV valve, unseated
engine oil dipstick, MAF reading lower than normal, etc.
b. Insufficient fueling: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of stoichiometry
(14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the condition. This
condition is typically caused by a fuel delivery system concern that restricts or limits the amount of
fuel being delivered to the engine. This condition will normally be most apparent when the engine is
under a heavy load, when a higher volume of fuel is required. If Freeze Frame Data indicates that
the fault occurred under a heavy load, a check of the fuel delivery system (checking fuel pressure
with engine under a load) might be the best starting point.
Examples: Low fuel pressure (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel leaks, restricted fuel supply lines), fuel
injector concerns, etc.
c. Exhaust system leaks: In this type of condition, the engine may actually be running near
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio), but the exhaust gas mixture will be lean. This condition is
caused by oxygen-rich air entering the exhaust system through an external source. This condition
will cause the exhaust gas mixture to be lean, even though the actual combustion in the engine
may not be.
Examples: Exhaust system leaks upstream or near HO2S, malfunctioning Secondary Air Injection
system
d. MAF concerns: If a MAF concern is suspected, see TSB 98-23-10.
4. Checking fuel pressure: Check fuel pressure with engine under a load when diagnosing a lean
concern. A partially plugged fuel filter can be difficult to detect and can be easily overlooked if fuel
pressure is only checked at idle. The same is true for other types of fuel supply concerns (e.g., bent
or kinked lines, degraded fuel pump).
At idle, an engine requires only a small volume of fuel. Due to the fact that there is a small volume
of fuel needed at idle, a restriction in the fuel supply line in many cases will not cause the fuel
pressure to be low. When the vehicle is under a load, the engine requires much more fuel than at
idle. Under a load, a restriction in the fuel supply line will prevent the high rate of fuel flow that is
needed to maintain the correct fuel pressure.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.

point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

Heated Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation
Heated Oxygen Sensor
The Heated Oxygen Sensor (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 low voltage signal less than 0.4 volt. A low concentration of
oxygen (rich air/fuel ratio) produces a high 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.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
Embedded with the sensing element is the HO2S heater. The heating element heats the sensor to
temperatures of 800°C (1400°F). At approximately 300°C (600°F) the engine can enter closed loop
operation. The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater and the PCM will complete the ground
when the proper conditions occur. For model year 1998 a new HO2S heater and heater control
system are installed on some vehicles. The high power heater reaches closed loop fuel control
temperatures. The use of this heater requires that the HO2S heater control be duty cycled, to
prevent damage to the heater. The 6 ohm design is not interchangeable with new style 3.3 ohm
heater.
The HO2S:
^ has the ability to create a voltage signal dependent on exhaust oxygen content.
^ provides feedback information to the powertrain control module used to calculate fuel delivery.
The rear HO2S:
^ monitors oxygen content after it flows through the catalytic converter.
^ provides a voltage to the powertrain control module used to calculate catalytic converter integrity.

Power Steering Pressure Switch
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
The Power Steering Pressure (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 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 transmission Electronic Pressure Control (EPC)
pressure during the increased engine load, for example during parking maneuvers.

Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor
Differential Pressure Feedback 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 sensor receives this signal through two 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 aluminum 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.

Powertrain Control Module: Reset Procedure
Flash Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory-Flash EEPROM
Flash Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory is contained in an Integrated
Circuit (IC) internal to the PCM. The EEPROM contains the vehicle strategy including calibration
information specific to the vehicle. The IC has the capability to be reprogrammed or reflashed. This
is described below by the Flash EEPROM Procedure.
As part of the calibration there is an area referred to as the Vehicle Identification (VID) Block. The
VID block must be programmed when replacing the PCM and is described under Programming the
VID Block for a Replacement PCM. The VID block is an existing PCM can also be tailored to
accommodate various hardware changes made to the vehicle since production. This is described
under Making Changes to the VID Block and also under the FLASH EEPROM Procedure. The VID
block contains many items used by the strategy for a variety of functions. Some of these items
include the VID number, octane adjust, fuel octane. fuel type, vehicle speed limit, tire size, axle
ratio, the presence of speed control, four wheel drive and manual versus non manual shift on the
fly. Only items applicable to vehicle hardware and supported by the VID block will be displayed on
the scan tool.
When changing items in the VID block, the strategy will place range limits on certain items such as
tire and axle ratio. The VID block is also limited to the number of times to be reconfigured. When
this limit is reached, the scan tool will display a message indicating the need to reflash the PCM to
reset the VID block. This is accomplished by the Flash EEPROM Procedure.
Programming the VID Block for a Replacement PCM
A new PCM will contain the latest strategy and calibration level for a particular vehicle. However,
the VID block will be blank and in need of programming. There are two 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 will be performed if the old PCM is capable of communicating. This is done
by the use of the scan tool to retrieve data from the old PCM before removing from the vehicle. The
stored data can now be downloaded to the new PCM after replacing. This same process can also
be accomplished during the Flash EEPROM Procedure described below.
Manual data entry must be performed if the old module is damaged and not capable of
communicating. Remove and replace the old PCM. Contact the "AS BUILT" data center by fax for
the data needed to manually update the VID block with the scan tool. Contact the center ONLY if
the old PCM cannot be used. The following information will need to be faxed in: dealer name,
dealer P & A code, dealer phone number, dealer fax number, technician's name, VIN and module
being programmed. The necessary VID block data will then be faxed back. Enter the vehicle data
string provided by the "AS BUILT" data center. Refer to the Worldwide Diagnostic System users
manual for details.

Mass Air Flow Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow Sensor
Typical Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The Mass Air Flow (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 ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. If the hot wire
electronic sensing element must be replaced, then the entire assembly must be replaced.
Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.
The current required to maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the air mass 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.
Diagram Of Air Flow Through Throttle Body Containing MAF Sensor Hot And Cold Wire (and IAT

Some MAF sensors have Integrated Bypass Technology (IBT) with an integrated Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) sensor. The present applications with IBT are: Focus, Escort (4V), 2.0 L
Contour/Mystique, Cougar, Taurus/Sable, Windstar, Explorer/Mountaineer and E-Series.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly.

Camshaft Position Sensor
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor
identifies when piston No. 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) and used for synchronizing the firing of sequential fuel injectors. The Coil

in the NEUTRAL position, the output voltage (5 volts) from the PCM is grounded through the signal
return line to the PCM, and there is 1 volt or less. One volt or less indicates there is a reduced load
on the engine. If the CPP switch (or PNP switch on vehicle or both CPP and PNP switches open on
the vehicle) is open, meaning the clutch pedal is disengaged (all systems) and the shift lever is not
in NEUTRAL position (PNP switch systems), the input on the CPP signal to the PCM will be
approximately 5 volts. Then, the 5-volt signal input at the PCM will indicate a load on the engine.
The PCM uses the load information in mass air flow and fuel calculations.

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
Engine Coolant Temperature
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes
with temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases,
and 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.
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The ECT measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The sensor is threaded into an engine
coolant passage. The ECT sensor is similar in construction to the IAT sensor.

Crankshaft Position Sensor (Integrated Ignition Systems)
Three Different Types Of Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensors
The Crankshaft Position (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 Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The trigger wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced 10 degrees apart with one empty space for
a missing tooth. The 6.8L ten cylinder pulse wheel has 39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9
degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring the trigger wheel, the CKP indicates
crankshaft position and speed information to the PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP 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 fixed reference.

Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor
Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
The Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) sensor is a diaphragm strain gauge device in which resistance
changes with pressure. The electrical resistance of a strain gauge increases as pressure
increases, and decreases as pressure decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop
across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to pressure.
Strain gauge 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 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 FRP sensor measures the pressure of the fuel near the fuel injectors. This signal is used by
the PCM to adjust the fuel injector pulse width and meter fuel to each engine combustion cylinder.
The Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) sensor senses the pressure difference between the fuel rail and the
intake manifold. The return fuel line to the fuel tank has been deleted in this type of fuel system.
The differential fuel/intake manifold pressure together with measured fuel temperature provides an
indication of the fuel vapors in the fuel rail. Both differential pressure and temperature feedback
signals are used to control the speed of the fuel pump. The speed of the fuel pump sustains fuel
rail pressure which preserve 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.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Intake Air Temperature Sensor
Intake Air Temperature (IAT)
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensors are thermistor devices in which resistance changes with
temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and
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.
Diagram Of Flow Through Throttle Body (Containing IAT Sensor Wire Where Applicable)
Some MAF sensors have Integrated Bypass Technology (IBT) with an integrated Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) sensor. The present applications with IBT are: Focus, Escort (4V), 2.0 L
Contour/Mystique, Cougar, Taurus/Sable, Windstar, Explorer/Mountaineer and E-Series.
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 MAF.
The IAT sensor provides a quicker temperature change response time than the ECT sensor.
Supercharged 5.4L Lightning vehicles use (2) IAT sensors. Both sensors operate as described
above. However, one is located before the supercharger at the air cleaner for standard OBD II/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 border-line spark and to help determine intercooler efficiency.

The Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with
temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases and
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across

The EOT measures the temperature of the engine oil. The EOT sensor is similar in construction to
the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor. On some applications, EOT input to the PCM is
used to initiate a soft engine shutdown. This prevents engine damage from occurring as a result of
high oil temperature.

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

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

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

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

Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3644
In this example, the most likely cause of DTCs P0135 and P0155 (with no other DTCs present)
would be a concern with Splice "B" (refer to Figure 2).

Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3645
4. View H025 PID data carefully: NGS PIDs for HO2S sensors that do not exist (with certain
exhaust configurations) will show a value of "0" volts (refer to Figures 3 and 4).
In this example, the vehicle (equipped with a 4-cylinder engine) has one upstream and one
downstream HO2S. Notice that the NGS (scan tool) display shows two upstream and two
downstream HO2S PIDs, and that the "unused" HO2S sensor PIDs display "0" volts.
5. H025 sensors measure oxygen in the exhaust, not fuel: The exhaust gas condition reported by
the HO2S sensor is based on the presence of oxygen in the exhaust, not the presence of unburned
fuel.
Example: In the event of an ignition-related misfire, you might expect a rich HO2S reading, due to
the amount of unburned fuel in the exhaust system. However, there is also a large amount of
unburned oxygen, since no combustion took place in the misfiring cylinder. Since the H025 senses
oxygen only, it would report a lean condition in this particular situation.
F2.) Tips Related to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H025) Monitor
1. OBD II Response Rate Monitor: The OBD II
Response Rate Monitor (P0133/P0153) is only run at vehicle speeds between approximately 50-95
km/h (30-60 mph), during steady-state conditions. The test lasts approximately 6 seconds.
Therefore, P0133/P0153 cannot be diagnosed at idle in the repair bay.
2. Do not compare H025 switch rate - Bank-to-Bank or vehicle-to-vehicle: Different H025 switch
rates, from Bank-to-Bank, are considered normal. The H025 switch rate, from one Bank to the
other, should not be compared as a gauge of the H025's ability to switch/react. The PCM is
continuously adjusting spark and fuel in reaction to engine operating conditions (rpm, load, air flow,
throttle angle, etc.). The PCM is also continuously adapting to certain conditions (customer driving
habits, engine and component wear, etc.).
F3.) Tips Related to Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
1. Determining catalyst efficiency/switch ratio:
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3646
The upstream H025 sensors will have a high switch frequency, due to normal closed loop fuel
control. With an efficient catalyst, the downstream H025 will have a low switch frequency. The
switch ratio is determined by dividing the number of downstream switches by the number of
upstream switches over a given period of time. As the catalyst ages (or if the catalyst is damaged
or contaminated), the downstream switches will increase. When the downstream switch rate
crosses a threshold value (approximately 0.75 switch ratio), a code is stored (P0420 and/or P0430)
and the MIL illuminates (refer to Figures 5 and 6).
NOTE
IF A CATALYST IS DETERMINED TO HAVE LOW EFFICIENCY AND REQUIRES
REPLACEMENT, REPLACEMENT OF THE DOWNSTREAM H025 SENSORS WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
2. Use care in handling H025 sensors: In the event of catalyst replacement, use care in the
handling of H025 sensors to prevent damage or contamination. Do not use power tools in the
removal or installation of sensors. Use a 22mm wrench or crow foot to remove and install H025
sensors; do not use slotted sockets, as these sockets may damage wires. H025 sensors should be
torqued to 41 +/- 5 N.m (30 +/- 4 lb-ft).
3. Do not replace downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22) for DTCs P0420 and/or P0430:
When diagnosing a vehicle with a customer concern of MIL On and DTCs P0420/P0430 in
continuous memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22). Damaged
or malfunctioning downstream HO2S sensors will not cause these DTCs to be set. Always verify
the vehicle concern, then perform the pinpoint diagnostics in the appropriate PC/ED Service
Manual.
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3647
F4.) Tips Related to the Fuel System Monitor
1. HO2S sensors are not likely to be the cause of adaptive DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175:
Most warranty-returned HO2S sensors (replaced for these DTCs) are found to function normally.
Additional related DTCs will normally be present if there is a concern with the HO2S sensors. Do
not replace an HO2S sensor unless verified through pinpoint diagnostic tests found in the PC/ED
Service Manual.
2. DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, and P0175 are not related to downstream H028 sensors: When
diagnosing a vehicle with a MIL On and DTC(s) P0171, P0172, P0174, and/or P0175 in continuous
memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors. These DTCs have no connection to the
downstream HO2S sensor function nor its diagnosis for faults. Always verify the vehicle concern,
then perform the pinpoint diagnostics from the appropriate PC/ED Service Manual.
3. Diagnosing lean conditions and lean DTCs P0171, P0174: Freeze Frame Data can often help to
identify the type of lean condition, even if the fault is intermittent, by indicating how the vehicle was
being driven when the fault occurred. Diagnosis of lean conditions and lean adaptive DTCs can be
difficult, especially if the concern is intermittent. Verifying the concern is extremely important. There
are different types of lean conditions. The ability to identify the type of lean condition causing the
concern can be crucial to a correct diagnosis. When DTCs P0171 and P0174 are both present,
there is a strong likelihood of another concern being present:
a. Vacuum leaks/unmetered air: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the
condition. This condition is typically caused by air entering the engine through an abnormal source
(opening), or due to a MAF malfunction. In this situation, the volume of air entering the engine is
actually greater than what the MAF is indicating to the PCM. Vacuum leaks will normally be most
apparent when high manifold vacuum is present, during idle or light throttle. If Freeze Frame Data
indicates that the fault occurred at idle, a check for vacuum leaks/unmetered air when the engine is
cold might be the best starting point.
Examples: Loose, leaking or disconnected vacuum lines, intake manifold gaskets or 0-rings,
throttle body gaskets, brake booster, air inlet tube, stuck/frozen/aftermarket PCV valve, unseated
engine oil dipstick, MAF reading lower than normal, etc.
b. Insufficient fueling: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of stoichiometry
(14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the condition. This
condition is typically caused by a fuel delivery system concern that restricts or limits the amount of
fuel being delivered to the engine. This condition will normally be most apparent when the engine is
under a heavy load, when a higher volume of fuel is required. If Freeze Frame Data indicates that
the fault occurred under a heavy load, a check of the fuel delivery system (checking fuel pressure
with engine under a load) might be the best starting point.
Examples: Low fuel pressure (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel leaks, restricted fuel supply lines), fuel
injector concerns, etc.
c. Exhaust system leaks: In this type of condition, the engine may actually be running near
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio), but the exhaust gas mixture will be lean. This condition is
caused by oxygen-rich air entering the exhaust system through an external source. This condition
will cause the exhaust gas mixture to be lean, even though the actual combustion in the engine
may not be.
Examples: Exhaust system leaks upstream or near HO2S, malfunctioning Secondary Air Injection
system
d. MAF concerns: If a MAF concern is suspected, see TSB 98-23-10.
4. Checking fuel pressure: Check fuel pressure with engine under a load when diagnosing a lean
concern. A partially plugged fuel filter can be difficult to detect and can be easily overlooked if fuel
pressure is only checked at idle. The same is true for other types of fuel supply concerns (e.g., bent
or kinked lines, degraded fuel pump).
At idle, an engine requires only a small volume of fuel. Due to the fact that there is a small volume
of fuel needed at idle, a restriction in the fuel supply line in many cases will not cause the fuel
pressure to be low. When the vehicle is under a load, the engine requires much more fuel than at
idle. Under a load, a restriction in the fuel supply line will prevent the high rate of fuel flow that is
needed to maintain the correct fuel pressure.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.

VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.

A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.

Heated Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation
Heated Oxygen Sensor
The Heated Oxygen Sensor (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 low voltage signal less than 0.4 volt. A low concentration of
oxygen (rich air/fuel ratio) produces a high 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.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
Embedded with the sensing element is the HO2S heater. The heating element heats the sensor to
temperatures of 800°C (1400°F). At approximately 300°C (600°F) the engine can enter closed loop
operation. The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater and the PCM will complete the ground
when the proper conditions occur. For model year 1998 a new HO2S heater and heater control
system are installed on some vehicles. The high power heater reaches closed loop fuel control
temperatures. The use of this heater requires that the HO2S heater control be duty cycled, to
prevent damage to the heater. The 6 ohm design is not interchangeable with new style 3.3 ohm
heater.
The HO2S:
^ has the ability to create a voltage signal dependent on exhaust oxygen content.
^ provides feedback information to the powertrain control module used to calculate fuel delivery.
The rear HO2S:
^ monitors oxygen content after it flows through the catalytic converter.
^ provides a voltage to the powertrain control module used to calculate catalytic converter integrity.

Power Steering Pressure Switch
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
The Power Steering Pressure (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 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 transmission Electronic Pressure Control (EPC)
pressure during the increased engine load, for example during parking maneuvers.

Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor
Differential Pressure Feedback 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 sensor receives this signal through two 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 aluminum 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 (TP) Sensor
The Throttle Position (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
three-blade electrical connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases corrosion
resistance on terminals and increases connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on the
throttle body. As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, four operating conditions are
determined by the PCM from the TP. Those 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), and throttle angle rate.
The TP sensor
^ sends the powertrain control module a signal indicating the throttle plate angle.

Digital Transmission Range Sensor: Description and Operation
Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
Typical Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
The Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch is an input to the PCM indicating the clutch pedal position
and, in some manual transmission applications, both the clutch pedal engagement position and the
gear shift position. The PCM provides a 5-volt reference (VREF) signal to the CPP switch and/or a
Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (on the CPP signal line). If the CPP switch (either or both CPP
and PNP switches are closed) is closed, indicating the clutch pedal is engaged and the shift lever is
in the NEUTRAL position, the output voltage (5 volts) from the PCM is grounded through the signal
return line to the PCM, and there is 1 volt or less. One volt or less indicates there is a reduced load
on the engine. If the CPP switch (or PNP switch on vehicle or both CPP and PNP switches open on
the vehicle) is open, meaning the clutch pedal is disengaged (all systems) and the shift lever is not
in NEUTRAL position (PNP switch systems), the input on the CPP signal to the PCM will be
approximately 5 volts. Then, the 5-volt signal input at the PCM will indicate a load on the engine.
The PCM uses the load information in mass air flow and fuel calculations.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.

This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.

A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

Instructions > Page 3709
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.

The following 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 engine. If the CPP switch (or PNP switch on vehicle or both CPP and PNP switches open on
the vehicle) is open, meaning the clutch pedal is disengaged (all systems) and the shift lever is not
in NEUTRAL position (PNP switch systems), the input on the CPP signal to the PCM will be
approximately 5 volts. Then, the 5-volt signal input at the PCM will indicate a load on the engine.
The PCM uses the load information in mass air flow and fuel calculations.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3742
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3743
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3744
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Vehicle Speed Sensor
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (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.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3758
The H025 Monitor is an on-board strategy designed to monitor the HO2S sensors for a malfunction
or deterioration that can affect emissions. Under specific conditions, the fuel control or upstream
HO2S sensors (Figures 1 and 3) are checked for proper output voltage and response rate (the time
it takes to switch from lean to rich or rich to lean). Downstream HO2S sensors (Figures 1 and 3)
used for Catalyst Monitor are also monitored for proper output voltage. Input is required from the
ECT or CHT, IAT, MAF, TP and CKP sensors to activate the H025 Monitor. The Fuel System
Monitor and Misfire Detection Monitor must also have completed successfully before the HO2S
Monitor is enabled.
The HO2S sensor senses the oxygen content in the exhaust flow and outputs a voltage between
zero and 1.0 volt. Lean of stoichiometric (air/fuel ratio of approximately 14.7:1 for gasoline
engines), the HO2S will generate a voltage between zero and 0.45 volt. Rich of stoichiometric, the
HO2S will generate a voltage between 0.45 and 1.0 volt.
^ The HO2S Monitor evaluates both the upstream (Fuel Control) and downstream (Catalyst
Monitor) HO2S for proper function.
^ Once the HO2S Monitor is enabled, the upstream H025 signal voltage amplitude and response
frequency are checked. Excessive voltage is determined by comparing the HO2S signal voltage to
a maximum calibratable threshold voltage.
^ A fixed frequency closed loop fuel control routine is executed and the upstream HO2S voltage
amplitude and output response frequency are observed. A sample of the upstream HO2S signal is
evaluated to determine if the sensor is capable of switching or has a slow response rate.
^ An HO2S heater circuit fault is determined by turning the heater on and off and looking for a
corresponding change in the OSM and by measuring the current going through the heater circuit.
^ The MIL is activated after a fault is detected on two consecutive OBD II drive cycles.
The HO2S Monitor DTCs can be categorized as follows:
^ HO2S signal circuit malfunction - P0131, P0136, P0151, P0156
^ HO2S slow response rate - P0133, P0153
^ HO2S heater circuit malfunction - P0135, P0141, P0155, P0161
^ Downstream HO2S not running in on-demand self test - P1127
^ Swapped H025 connectors - P1128 and P1129
^ H025 lack of switching - P1130, P1131, P1132, P1150, P1151, P1152
^ HO2S lack of switching (sensor indicates lean) - P1137
^ H025 lack of switching (sensor indicates rich) - P1138

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

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

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

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3767
In this example, the most likely cause of DTCs P0135 and P0155 (with no other DTCs present)
would be a concern with Splice "B" (refer to Figure 2).
NOTE
THIS ILLUSTRATION IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE. SPLICE NAMES "A", "B", AND "C" ARE USED IN
THIS EXAMPLE FOR CONVENIENCE ONLY. ON AN ACTUAL VEHICLE, SPLICE NAMES WILL
DEPEND ON THE CIRCUIT NUMBER FOR THE VEHICLE UNDER REPAIR. NOTE ALSO THAT
THIS FIGURE IS NOT INTENDED TO SHOW ALL SPLICES/CONNECTIONS ON ALL
VEHICLES. OTHER EEC CIRCUITS, NOT SHOWN, MAY ALSO BE SPLICED IN WITH THE
CIRCUITS SHOWN.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3768
4. View H025 PID data carefully: NGS PIDs for HO2S sensors that do not exist (with certain
exhaust configurations) will show a value of "0" volts (refer to Figures 3 and 4).
In this example, the vehicle (equipped with a 4-cylinder engine) has one upstream and one
downstream HO2S. Notice that the NGS (scan tool) display shows two upstream and two
downstream HO2S PIDs, and that the "unused" HO2S sensor PIDs display "0" volts.
5. H025 sensors measure oxygen in the exhaust, not fuel: The exhaust gas condition reported by
the HO2S sensor is based on the presence of oxygen in the exhaust, not the presence of unburned
fuel.
Example: In the event of an ignition-related misfire, you might expect a rich HO2S reading, due to
the amount of unburned fuel in the exhaust system. However, there is also a large amount of
unburned oxygen, since no combustion took place in the misfiring cylinder. Since the H025 senses
oxygen only, it would report a lean condition in this particular situation.
F2.) Tips Related to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H025) Monitor
1. OBD II Response Rate Monitor: The OBD II
Response Rate Monitor (P0133/P0153) is only run at vehicle speeds between approximately 50-95
km/h (30-60 mph), during steady-state conditions. The test lasts approximately 6 seconds.
Therefore, P0133/P0153 cannot be diagnosed at idle in the repair bay.
2. Do not compare H025 switch rate - Bank-to-Bank or vehicle-to-vehicle: Different H025 switch
rates, from Bank-to-Bank, are considered normal. The H025 switch rate, from one Bank to the
other, should not be compared as a gauge of the H025's ability to switch/react. The PCM is
continuously adjusting spark and fuel in reaction to engine operating conditions (rpm, load, air flow,
throttle angle, etc.). The PCM is also continuously adapting to certain conditions (customer driving
habits, engine and component wear, etc.).
F3.) Tips Related to Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
1. Determining catalyst efficiency/switch ratio:
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Catalytic Converter > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3769
The upstream H025 sensors will have a high switch frequency, due to normal closed loop fuel
control. With an efficient catalyst, the downstream H025 will have a low switch frequency. The
switch ratio is determined by dividing the number of downstream switches by the number of
upstream switches over a given period of time. As the catalyst ages (or if the catalyst is damaged
or contaminated), the downstream switches will increase. When the downstream switch rate
crosses a threshold value (approximately 0.75 switch ratio), a code is stored (P0420 and/or P0430)
and the MIL illuminates (refer to Figures 5 and 6).
NOTE
IF A CATALYST IS DETERMINED TO HAVE LOW EFFICIENCY AND REQUIRES
REPLACEMENT, REPLACEMENT OF THE DOWNSTREAM H025 SENSORS WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
2. Use care in handling H025 sensors: In the event of catalyst replacement, use care in the
handling of H025 sensors to prevent damage or contamination. Do not use power tools in the
removal or installation of sensors. Use a 22mm wrench or crow foot to remove and install H025
sensors; do not use slotted sockets, as these sockets may damage wires. H025 sensors should be
torqued to 41 +/- 5 N.m (30 +/- 4 lb-ft).
3. Do not replace downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22) for DTCs P0420 and/or P0430:
When diagnosing a vehicle with a customer concern of MIL On and DTCs P0420/P0430 in
continuous memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22). Damaged
or malfunctioning downstream HO2S sensors will not cause these DTCs to be set. Always verify
the vehicle concern, then perform the pinpoint diagnostics in the appropriate PC/ED Service
Manual.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Catalytic Converter > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3770
F4.) Tips Related to the Fuel System Monitor
1. HO2S sensors are not likely to be the cause of adaptive DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175:
Most warranty-returned HO2S sensors (replaced for these DTCs) are found to function normally.
Additional related DTCs will normally be present if there is a concern with the HO2S sensors. Do
not replace an HO2S sensor unless verified through pinpoint diagnostic tests found in the PC/ED
Service Manual.
2. DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, and P0175 are not related to downstream H028 sensors: When
diagnosing a vehicle with a MIL On and DTC(s) P0171, P0172, P0174, and/or P0175 in continuous
memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors. These DTCs have no connection to the
downstream HO2S sensor function nor its diagnosis for faults. Always verify the vehicle concern,
then perform the pinpoint diagnostics from the appropriate PC/ED Service Manual.
3. Diagnosing lean conditions and lean DTCs P0171, P0174: Freeze Frame Data can often help to
identify the type of lean condition, even if the fault is intermittent, by indicating how the vehicle was
being driven when the fault occurred. Diagnosis of lean conditions and lean adaptive DTCs can be
difficult, especially if the concern is intermittent. Verifying the concern is extremely important. There
are different types of lean conditions. The ability to identify the type of lean condition causing the
concern can be crucial to a correct diagnosis. When DTCs P0171 and P0174 are both present,
there is a strong likelihood of another concern being present:
a. Vacuum leaks/unmetered air: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the
condition. This condition is typically caused by air entering the engine through an abnormal source
(opening), or due to a MAF malfunction. In this situation, the volume of air entering the engine is
actually greater than what the MAF is indicating to the PCM. Vacuum leaks will normally be most
apparent when high manifold vacuum is present, during idle or light throttle. If Freeze Frame Data
indicates that the fault occurred at idle, a check for vacuum leaks/unmetered air when the engine is
cold might be the best starting point.
Examples: Loose, leaking or disconnected vacuum lines, intake manifold gaskets or 0-rings,
throttle body gaskets, brake booster, air inlet tube, stuck/frozen/aftermarket PCV valve, unseated
engine oil dipstick, MAF reading lower than normal, etc.
b. Insufficient fueling: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of stoichiometry
(14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the condition. This
condition is typically caused by a fuel delivery system concern that restricts or limits the amount of
fuel being delivered to the engine. This condition will normally be most apparent when the engine is
under a heavy load, when a higher volume of fuel is required. If Freeze Frame Data indicates that
the fault occurred under a heavy load, a check of the fuel delivery system (checking fuel pressure
with engine under a load) might be the best starting point.
Examples: Low fuel pressure (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel leaks, restricted fuel supply lines), fuel
injector concerns, etc.
c. Exhaust system leaks: In this type of condition, the engine may actually be running near
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio), but the exhaust gas mixture will be lean. This condition is
caused by oxygen-rich air entering the exhaust system through an external source. This condition
will cause the exhaust gas mixture to be lean, even though the actual combustion in the engine
may not be.
Examples: Exhaust system leaks upstream or near HO2S, malfunctioning Secondary Air Injection
system
d. MAF concerns: If a MAF concern is suspected, see TSB 98-23-10.
4. Checking fuel pressure: Check fuel pressure with engine under a load when diagnosing a lean
concern. A partially plugged fuel filter can be difficult to detect and can be easily overlooked if fuel
pressure is only checked at idle. The same is true for other types of fuel supply concerns (e.g., bent
or kinked lines, degraded fuel pump).
At idle, an engine requires only a small volume of fuel. Due to the fact that there is a small volume
of fuel needed at idle, a restriction in the fuel supply line in many cases will not cause the fuel
pressure to be low. When the vehicle is under a load, the engine requires much more fuel than at
idle. Under a load, a restriction in the fuel supply line will prevent the high rate of fuel flow that is
needed to maintain the correct fuel pressure.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation
Overview
Generic Catalyst and Exhaust System
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). CO, NOx, and HCs are major air pollutants, and their emission into the atmosphere must be
controlled.
The exhaust system generally consists of an exhaust manifold, front exhaust pipe, upstream
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S), rear exhaust pipe, downstream HO2S, a muffler and an exhaust
tailpipe. The catalytic converter is installed between the front and rear exhaust pipes. Catalytic
converter efficiency is monitored by the On Board Diagnostic (OBD II) system. (Refer to OBD II
Monitors to Catalyst Efficiency Monitor-Federal Test Procedure for specific information.)
Catalytic Converter
A catalyst is a material that remains unchanged when it initiates and increases the speed of a
chemical reaction. A catalyst will also enable a chemical reaction to occur at a lower temperature.
The concentration of exhaust gas products released to the atmosphere must be controlled. The
catalytic converter assists in this task. It contains a catalyst in the form of a specially treated
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.
Exhaust System
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. An HO2S is mounted on the front exhaust pipe
before the catalyst. The catalytic converter reduces the concentration of Carbon Monoxide (CO),
unburned Hydrocarbons (HCs) and Oxides Of Nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust emissions to an
acceptable level. The reduced exhaust emissions are directed from the catalytic converter to a
muffler through the rear exhaust pipe. Another HO2S is mounted on the rear exhaust pipe. Lastly,
the exhaust emissions are directed to the atmosphere through an exhaust tailpipe.
HARDWARE
The downstream HO2S may be located after the light off catalyst or underbody catalyst. The
underbody catalyst may be in-line with the light off catalyst, or the underbody catalyst may be
common to two light off catalysts, forming a "Y" pipe configuration. For an exact configuration of the
catalyst and exhaust system, refer to Exhaust System.
Three Way Catalytic Converter
The Three Way Catalytic (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 three-way conversion can br brst
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
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Catalytic Converter > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 3773
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.
Upstream Heated and Downstream Heated Oxygen Sensors
The HO2S provide the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with voltage and frequency information
related to the oxygen content of the exhaust gas. (Refer to the PCM Inputs for a description of how
the H02S operates.)
In addition to providing the PCM with indications of how rich/lean the engine is operating, the
upstream HO2S signal serves as an input to the H02S monitor. The downstream HO2S signal is an
input to the Catalyst Efficiency monitor. (Refer to the OBD II Monitors for specific information on
these monitors.)
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 it also
reduces the noise produced by exhaust gases as they travel from the catalytic converter to the
atmosphere.

Attachment I - Administrative Information
OASIS
You must use OASIS to determine if a vehicle is eligible for this program. Not all CVPI vehicles
built in the affected time period are eligible for this program because many are no longer in law
enforcement duty. Ford has used motor vehicle and U.S. postal records to purge vehicles known to
no longer be currently in law enforcement duty. If you encounter a vehicle currently in law
enforcement duty that is not listed in OASIS see below. Also see "FINAL ELIGIBILITY CHECK"
below for additional restrictions.
VIN ADDITION OF NON-P71 VEHICLES CURRENTLY IN LAW ENFORCEMENT DUTY
Non-Police Interceptor package Crown Victoria vehicles (P70, P72, P73, P74) currently in law
enforcement duty & subjected to risk of high-speed high-energy rear impact collisions may have
02B02 performed at no-charge at the request of a law enforcement official. Documentation of law
enforcement use such as a letter on department letterhead with VIN is required. Please call to
request the addition to OASIS of a non-P71 Crown Victoria vehicle currently in law enforcement
duty.
FINAL ELIGIBILITY CHECK AND REMOVAL OF INELIGIBLE VEHICLES FROM OASIS
In addition to preliminary eligibility verification through OASIS please verify by visual inspection the
vehicle is currently in law enforcement duty.
Under 02B02 all CVPI vehicles currently in law enforcement duty can be upgraded at no-charge.
Many CVPI vehicles are sold to the secondary market (taxi private use) after retirement from law
enforcement duty. Based on vehicle registration data available to Ford some of these secondary
market vehicles may inadvertently receive an owner letter. Therefore possession of a letter from
Ford does not in itself indicate eligibility for 02B02. CVPI vehicles in the secondary market are not
eligible for no-charge upgrades under the terms of program 02B02. If the CVPI is no longer
currently used in law enforcement duty and the VIN is active in OASIS submit a claim for VIN
closure (see ATTACHMENT II).
PLEASE NOTE
If requested by your law enforcement fleet customer correct in-stock vehicles before delivery.
You must contact the Low Volume Coordination Center at 1-800-248-0186 to arrange for parts if
you have an involved vehicle in stock. When calling this number identify Optional Upgrade Program
02B02 and have the VIN of the dealer stock vehicle to be serviced.

LABOR ALLOWANCES
PARTS ORDERING INFORMATION
LAW ENFORCEMENT VEHICLES:
Beginning October 22, 2002 law enforcement fleets using CVPI vehicles currently in law
enforcement duty will be asked to register using their Fleet Identification Number (FIN) to allow
priority parts ordering. Fleets without web access or FIN codes may register at the Police
Interceptor Registration Center via telephone. Eligible fleets may establish a FIN code by calling
the Fleet Customer Information Center.
Once on the website the fleet representative will input fleet name contact and vehicle information.
The fleet representative must also certify he/she agrees to review information on the website.
Fleets without web access will be sent information contained on the website. Once the required
information is provided an Authorization Number will be generated by the website. The fleet will
provide their dealer(s) of choice the Authorization Number which will allow priority ordering of parts.
Dealers will then contact the Low Volume Coordination Center and provide the fleets Authorization
Number to order parts (up to the authorized quantity). A verification of the Authorization Number
will be performed and the parts will be ordered for you by the Program Coordination Center.
Fleets who do not register may still order parts through their servicing dealer(s); however priority
fulfillment of parts orders will be given to registered fleets.
Depending upon law enforcement fleet registrations upgrade kits should arrive at your dealership
after October 28, 2002. It is estimated that 10% of total kits required to upgrade CVPI vehicles will
be available by October 31, 2002. No kits will be available for law enforcement fleets that choose
not to register or for retail purchase and installation until supply exceeds registered law
enforcement demand. It is anticipated that parts ordering restrictions will be removed beginning
January 2, 2003.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
2. NOTE: Shields are molded with "LH" and "RH" to ease identification.
Install the left and right axle shields being sure to position them so there is clearance between the
shield and the stabilizer bar as illustrated. On 1992 to 1997 model year vehicles, be sure the ABS
circuit wiring harness is not pinched under the shield and the right side parking brake cable is
positioned in the notch molded into the shield. Tighten the clamps to 6 Nm (53 lb-in). See Figures 1
and 2.
In some cases, excess weld material on the coil spring seat or stabilizer bar bracket can interfere
with clamp installation. If necessary, grind away only enough excess weld material to allow for
correct seating of the shield and clamp onto the axle. DO NOT grind the parent metal.
3. CAUTION: Tie straps, which are required for 1998 to 2002 model year vehicles only, have
specific heat resistant properties. Use of a tie strap other than what is supplied in the kit can
jeopardize the repair. Also, correct orientation of the tie strap is critical to the repair. The head of
the tie strap must be positioned on the forward-facing side of the shock mount bracket.

Emission Control Canister: > 02B02 > Mar > 03 > Campaign - Police Interceptor Optional Upgrade > Page 3806
On 1998 to 2002 model year vehicles, install one (1) tie strap on each shield to secure it to the
shock absorber lower mount bracket as illustrated. If necessary, use pliers and LIGHT force to
engage the locking feature of the tie strap. DO NOT STRETCH THE TIE STRAP
UNNECESSARILY. See Figure 3.
4. On 1992 to 1997 model year vehicles, install the supplied convolute over the ABS circuit wiring
leading to each rear wheel. Position the convolute so it is up against the grommet as shown in the
illustration. Secure with vinyl tape. See Figure 4.
5. CAUTION: Do not loosen or remove more than three (3) differential cover bolts at any one time
or a leak may develop.
NOTE: If the axle identification tag (all affected model year vehicles) and/or fluid identification tag
(2002 to 2003 model year vehicles only) interferes with the installation of the differential cover
shield, relocate the tag(s) as necessary to another bolt location on the cover. In some instances,
the tag may simply need to be rotated to avoid interference with the shield installation.

Evaporative Emission Control Canister > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Recalls for Evaporative
Emission Control Canister: > 02B02 > Mar > 03 > Campaign - Police Interceptor Optional Upgrade > Page 3807
Reposition the axle and/or fluid identification tag as necessary. Hand-tighten the bolt(s) at this time.
See Figure 5.
6. Remove and discard the three (3) differential cover bolts located at the 4, 6 and 8 o'clock
positions. Position the differential cover shield and press into place. The cover should fit snug over
the existing bolts. Install the three (3) new bolts. Tighten all loosened or removed bolts to 45 Nm
(33 lb-ft). See Figure 5. Be sure to also tighten the axle tag bolt(s) to specification.
17. CAUTION: The fuel tank strap shields are marked for right and left sides of the vehicle. Be sure
to install them in the correct location and so that they are oriented from the outside toward the
center of the vehicle.
NOTE:
Spray the area around the fuel tank and strap brackets with silicone lubricant to assist with shield
installation. Use a rubber mallet to lightly tap the shields into position only if necessary. Install the
left and right fuel tank strap shields as follows. See Figure 6.
a) Insert the shield between the fuel tank and the strap from the outside, pushing it in toward the
center of the vehicle.
b) Position the long tab up into the strap bracket.
c) Secure the push-pin retainers into the mating holes in the strap bracket to secure the shield.
d) Visually check to make sure the shield is correctly positioned. Peel the backing off the adhesive
strip and, while holding the upper portion against the fuel tank flange, secure the two halves firmly
together.
NOTE
^ For 1992 to 1997 model year vehicles, the service procedure is complete. Lower the vehicle.
^ For 1998 to 2003 model year vehicles, continue with this procedure.

of the canister. Affix the two (2) self-adhesive foam pads onto the canister in the position shown in
the illustration. See Figure 9.
14. Reconnect the canister purge valve, then position the evaporative emissions canister and
install the two (2) retaining nuts finger tight.
15. CAUTION: The rivets supplied in the kit provide a high clamp-load and MUST be used. Using
rivets other than what is supplied in the kit may jeopardize the repair.
NOTE:
The kit comes with a total of five (5) rivets. Only three (3) are required for this repair. These rivets
are very sturdy and may be difficult to install with a small, hand-held pop rivet installer. The use of a
large capacity or air/hydraulic rivet installer is recommended but is not necessary.
Install the three (3) rivets, then tighten the two canister retaining nuts to 6 Nm (53 lb-in).
16. Lower the vehicle.

CERTAIN 1998 THROUGH 2003 MODEL YEAR CROWN VICTORIA POLICE INTERCEPTOR
(CVPI) VEHICLES CURRENTLY IN LAW ENFORCEMENT DUTY - INSPECTION OF OPTIONAL
POLICE INTERCEPTOR PACKAGE UPGRADE
KIT INSTALLATION
This procedure involves inspecting the evaporative emissions canister mounting modifications to
see if they conform to the 02B02 Attachment III technical instructions. Based upon vehicle
inspections and a vehicle survey, Ford Motor Company has found that some technicians are not
removing the bolts and J-nuts affixing the evaporative emissions canister to the underbody of the
trunk as instructed. Specifically, proper installation of the evaporative canister rivets and removal of
the original bolts and J-nuts cannot be skipped and must be completed properly to provide the full
benefit of the optional upgrade.

INSPECTION
1. Evaporative Emissions Canister Inspection
WARNING:
DO NOT LEAVE BOLTS AND J-NUTS IN PLACE. THE RIVETS ARE INTENDED TO REPLACE
CANISTER BOLTS AND J-NUTS. THEY ARE NOT UTILIZED TO STRENGTHEN THE
MECHANICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE Z-BRACKET AND THE EVAPORATIVE
EMISSIONS CANISTER MOUNTING FLANGE. USING RIVETS OTHER THAN THE SUPPLIED
HIGH CLAMP-LOAD RIVETS CAN JEOPARDIZE THE REPAIR.
NOTE:
Field audits have revealed portions of this repair are not being performed properly. Listed here are
examples of what was found:
^ Bolts and J-nuts still installed - rivets installed (correctly or incorrectly)
^ Bolts and J-nuts still installed - rivets NOT installed
^ Only J-nuts still installed - rivets installed
^ Wrong number of rivets installed
^ Rivets not properly spaced along Z-bracket
^ Rivets installed on wrong Z-bracket flange (securing Z-bracket to floor instead of Z-bracket to
evap canister)
If the bolts and/or J-nuts are still installed, they must be removed. If the rivets are installed, they will
need to be drilled out to allow removal of the

Attachment I - Administrative Information
OASIS
You must use OASIS to determine if a vehicle is eligible for this program. Not all CVPI vehicles
built in the affected time period are eligible for this program because many are no longer in law
enforcement duty. Ford has used motor vehicle and U.S. postal records to purge vehicles known to
no longer be currently in law enforcement duty. If you encounter a vehicle currently in law
enforcement duty that is not listed in OASIS see below. Also see "FINAL ELIGIBILITY CHECK"
below for additional restrictions.
VIN ADDITION OF NON-P71 VEHICLES CURRENTLY IN LAW ENFORCEMENT DUTY
Non-Police Interceptor package Crown Victoria vehicles (P70, P72, P73, P74) currently in law
enforcement duty & subjected to risk of high-speed high-energy rear impact collisions may have
02B02 performed at no-charge at the request of a law enforcement official. Documentation of law
enforcement use such as a letter on department letterhead with VIN is required. Please call to
request the addition to OASIS of a non-P71 Crown Victoria vehicle currently in law enforcement
duty.
FINAL ELIGIBILITY CHECK AND REMOVAL OF INELIGIBLE VEHICLES FROM OASIS
In addition to preliminary eligibility verification through OASIS please verify by visual inspection the
vehicle is currently in law enforcement duty.
Under 02B02 all CVPI vehicles currently in law enforcement duty can be upgraded at no-charge.
Many CVPI vehicles are sold to the secondary market (taxi private use) after retirement from law
enforcement duty. Based on vehicle registration data available to Ford some of these secondary
market vehicles may inadvertently receive an owner letter. Therefore possession of a letter from
Ford does not in itself indicate eligibility for 02B02. CVPI vehicles in the secondary market are not
eligible for no-charge upgrades under the terms of program 02B02. If the CVPI is no longer
currently used in law enforcement duty and the VIN is active in OASIS submit a claim for VIN
closure (see ATTACHMENT II).
PLEASE NOTE
If requested by your law enforcement fleet customer correct in-stock vehicles before delivery.
You must contact the Low Volume Coordination Center at 1-800-248-0186 to arrange for parts if
you have an involved vehicle in stock. When calling this number identify Optional Upgrade Program
02B02 and have the VIN of the dealer stock vehicle to be serviced.

PARTS ORDERING INFORMATION
LAW ENFORCEMENT VEHICLES:
Beginning October 22, 2002 law enforcement fleets using CVPI vehicles currently in law
enforcement duty will be asked to register using their Fleet Identification Number (FIN) to allow
priority parts ordering. Fleets without web access or FIN codes may register at the Police
Interceptor Registration Center via telephone. Eligible fleets may establish a FIN code by calling
the Fleet Customer Information Center.
Once on the website the fleet representative will input fleet name contact and vehicle information.
The fleet representative must also certify he/she agrees to review information on the website.
Fleets without web access will be sent information contained on the website. Once the required
information is provided an Authorization Number will be generated by the website. The fleet will
provide their dealer(s) of choice the Authorization Number which will allow priority ordering of parts.
Dealers will then contact the Low Volume Coordination Center and provide the fleets Authorization
Number to order parts (up to the authorized quantity). A verification of the Authorization Number
will be performed and the parts will be ordered for you by the Program Coordination Center.
Fleets who do not register may still order parts through their servicing dealer(s); however priority
fulfillment of parts orders will be given to registered fleets.
Depending upon law enforcement fleet registrations upgrade kits should arrive at your dealership
after October 28, 2002. It is estimated that 10% of total kits required to upgrade CVPI vehicles will
be available by October 31, 2002. No kits will be available for law enforcement fleets that choose
not to register or for retail purchase and installation until supply exceeds registered law
enforcement demand. It is anticipated that parts ordering restrictions will be removed beginning
January 2, 2003.

^ Two (2) fuel tank strap shields
Additional parts required for 1998 through 2003 model year vehicles
^ Two (2) foam pads onto the evaporative emissions canister
^ Replacement of evaporative emissions canister retainer bolts and J-clips (located along the front
edge of the canister) with three (3) rivets
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
2. NOTE: Shields are molded with "LH" and "RH" to ease identification.
Install the left and right axle shields being sure to position them so there is clearance between the
shield and the stabilizer bar as illustrated. On 1992 to 1997 model year vehicles, be sure the ABS
circuit wiring harness is not pinched under the shield and the right side parking brake cable is
positioned in the notch molded into the shield. Tighten the clamps to 6 Nm (53 lb-in). See Figures 1
and 2.
In some cases, excess weld material on the coil spring seat or stabilizer bar bracket can interfere
with clamp installation. If necessary, grind away only enough excess weld material to allow for
correct seating of the shield and clamp onto the axle. DO NOT grind the parent metal.
3. CAUTION: Tie straps, which are required for 1998 to 2002 model year vehicles only, have
specific heat resistant properties. Use of a tie strap other than what is supplied in the kit can
jeopardize the repair. Also, correct orientation of the tie strap is critical to the repair. The head of
the tie strap must be positioned on the forward-facing side of the shock mount bracket.

Bulletins for Evaporative Emission Control Canister: > 02B02 > Mar > 03 > Campaign - Police Interceptor Optional Upgrade
> Page 3839
On 1998 to 2002 model year vehicles, install one (1) tie strap on each shield to secure it to the
shock absorber lower mount bracket as illustrated. If necessary, use pliers and LIGHT force to
engage the locking feature of the tie strap. DO NOT STRETCH THE TIE STRAP
UNNECESSARILY. See Figure 3.
4. On 1992 to 1997 model year vehicles, install the supplied convolute over the ABS circuit wiring
leading to each rear wheel. Position the convolute so it is up against the grommet as shown in the
illustration. Secure with vinyl tape. See Figure 4.
5. CAUTION: Do not loosen or remove more than three (3) differential cover bolts at any one time
or a leak may develop.
NOTE: If the axle identification tag (all affected model year vehicles) and/or fluid identification tag
(2002 to 2003 model year vehicles only) interferes with the installation of the differential cover
shield, relocate the tag(s) as necessary to another bolt location on the cover. In some instances,

the existing bolts. Install the three (3) new bolts. Tighten all loosened or removed bolts to 45 Nm
(33 lb-ft). See Figure 5. Be sure to also tighten the axle tag bolt(s) to specification.
17. CAUTION: The fuel tank strap shields are marked for right and left sides of the vehicle. Be sure
to install them in the correct location and so that they are oriented from the outside toward the
center of the vehicle.
NOTE:
Spray the area around the fuel tank and strap brackets with silicone lubricant to assist with shield
installation. Use a rubber mallet to lightly tap the shields into position only if necessary. Install the
left and right fuel tank strap shields as follows. See Figure 6.
a) Insert the shield between the fuel tank and the strap from the outside, pushing it in toward the
center of the vehicle.
b) Position the long tab up into the strap bracket.
c) Secure the push-pin retainers into the mating holes in the strap bracket to secure the shield.
d) Visually check to make sure the shield is correctly positioned. Peel the backing off the adhesive
strip and, while holding the upper portion against the fuel tank flange, secure the two halves firmly
together.

(CVPI) VEHICLES CURRENTLY IN LAW ENFORCEMENT DUTY - INSPECTION OF OPTIONAL
POLICE INTERCEPTOR PACKAGE UPGRADE
KIT INSTALLATION
This procedure involves inspecting the evaporative emissions canister mounting modifications to
see if they conform to the 02B02 Attachment III technical instructions. Based upon vehicle
inspections and a vehicle survey, Ford Motor Company has found that some technicians are not
removing the bolts and J-nuts affixing the evaporative emissions canister to the underbody of the
trunk as instructed. Specifically, proper installation of the evaporative canister rivets and removal of
the original bolts and J-nuts cannot be skipped and must be completed properly to provide the full
benefit of the optional upgrade.

INSPECTION
1. Evaporative Emissions Canister Inspection
WARNING:
DO NOT LEAVE BOLTS AND J-NUTS IN PLACE. THE RIVETS ARE INTENDED TO REPLACE
CANISTER BOLTS AND J-NUTS. THEY ARE NOT UTILIZED TO STRENGTHEN THE
MECHANICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE Z-BRACKET AND THE EVAPORATIVE
EMISSIONS CANISTER MOUNTING FLANGE. USING RIVETS OTHER THAN THE SUPPLIED
HIGH CLAMP-LOAD RIVETS CAN JEOPARDIZE THE REPAIR.
NOTE:
Field audits have revealed portions of this repair are not being performed properly. Listed here are
examples of what was found:
^ Bolts and J-nuts still installed - rivets installed (correctly or incorrectly)
^ Bolts and J-nuts still installed - rivets NOT installed
^ Only J-nuts still installed - rivets installed
^ Wrong number of rivets installed
^ Rivets not properly spaced along Z-bracket
^ Rivets installed on wrong Z-bracket flange (securing Z-bracket to floor instead of Z-bracket to
evap canister)
If the bolts and/or J-nuts are still installed, they must be removed. If the rivets are installed, they will
need to be drilled out to allow removal of the

Refueling Vapor Recovery System > System Information > Description and Operation > Page 3887
The basic elements forming the ORVR system operation are as follows when fuel is dispensed:
1. The fuel filler pipe forms a seal to prevent vapors from escaping the fuel tank, while liquid is
entering the fuel tank (liquid in the one inch diameter
tube blocks vapors from rushing back up the fuel filler pipe).
2. A fuel vapor control valve controls the flow of vapors out of the fuel tank (valve closes when
liquid level reaches a height associated with the fuel
tank usable capacity). This valve accomplishes the following: a. Limits the total amount of fuel that
can be dispensed into the fuel tank. b. Prevents liquid gasoline from exiting the fuel tank when
submerged (and also when tipped well beyond a horizontal plane as part of the vehicle
roll-over protection in road accidents).
c. Minimizes vapor flow resistance during anticipated refueling conditions.
3. Fuel vapor tubing connects the fuel vapor control valve to the EVAP canister. This routes the fuel
tank vapors (displaced by the incoming liquid)
to the EVAP canister.
4. A check valve in the bottom of the fuel filler pipe prevents liquid from rushing back up the fuel
filler pipe during the liquid flow variations
associated with the filler nozzle shut-off.
Between refueling events, the EVAP canister is purged with fresh air so that it may be used again
to store vapors accumulated engine soaks or subsequent refueling events. The vapors drawn off of
the carbon in the EVAP canister are consumed in the engine.

EGR Vacuum Regulator Solenoid Data
The EGR vacuum regulator solenoid is an electromagnetic device which is 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.

Orifice Tube Assembly
Orifice Tube Assembly
The orifice tube assembly is a section of tubing connecting the exhaust system to the intake
manifold. The assembly provides the flow path for the EGR to the intake manifold and also
contains the metering orifice and two 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.

EGR Valve: Description and Operation
Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve
Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve
Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve Graph
The EGR valve in the Differential Pressure Feedback EGR system is a conventional,
vacuum-actuated EGR valve. The valve increases or decreases the flow of exhaust gas
recirculation. 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 service specifications on flow rate is
impractical. The on-board diagnostic system monitors the EGR valve function and triggers a
Diagnostic Trouble Code if the test criteria is not met. The EGR valve flow rate is not measured
directly as part of the field diagnostic procedures.

Mass Air Flow Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow Sensor
Typical Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The Mass Air Flow (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 ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. If the hot wire
electronic sensing element must be replaced, then the entire assembly must be replaced.
Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.
The current required to maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the air mass 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.
Diagram Of Air Flow Through Throttle Body Containing MAF Sensor Hot And Cold Wire (and IAT
Sensor Where Applicable) Terminals
Some MAF sensors have Integrated Bypass Technology (IBT) with an integrated Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) sensor. The present applications with IBT are: Focus, Escort (4V), 2.0 L
Contour/Mystique, Cougar, Taurus/Sable, Windstar, Explorer/Mountaineer and E-Series.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly.

5. Install the EVAP Emission Test Port Adapter that is provided with the Rotunda's Smoke Machine
to EVAP Canister Purge Valve test port.
NOTE
SPECIAL PROCEDURES HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED FOR WINDSTAR, LS, THUNDERBIRD &
PZEV FOCUS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A CHECK VALVE THAT WILL PREVENT SMOKE FROM
ENTERING THE FILLER NECK.
6. Connect black smoke hose nozzle tip to the EVAP Emission Test Port Adapter. For all except
Windstar, LS, Thunderbird & PZEV Focus Use NGS or WDS to close CVS. (CVS WILL REOPEN
AFTER NINE (9) MINUTES OF CONTINUOUS OPERATION).
7. For all except Windstar, LS, Thunderbird & PZEV Focus - Remove the fuel cap from the vehicle.
Depress remote starter button: Smoke will be introduced into the EVAP Emission System. Secure
the fuel cap once smoke is seen exiting from the fuel tank's neck area. For Windstar, LS,
Thunderbird & PZEV Focus, do not remove fuel cap. Depress starter button and introduce smoke to
system until it can be seen exiting the CVS (located by filler neck). Once smoke is seen, use NGS
or WDS to close CVS. (CVS WILL REOPEN AFTER NINE (9) MINUTES OF CONTINUOUS
OPERATION).
8. Press and release the remote starter button in intervals of approximately 15 seconds on and 15
seconds off. Use the halogen light provided with the Smoke Machine to look for smoke in the
engine compartment, EVAP hoses to EVAP Canister Purge Valve, CVS, carbon canister and area
around the fuel cap. Wiggle fuel vapor lines to check for leaks. Check for leaks in areas that are
difficult to access, such as connections on top of the tank where connections may be or inside
frame rails. Use the black light to ensure that there are no leaks. If a leak is detected, repair as
necessary. If the leak is not detected from the top, check under the bottom of vehicle. Inspect the
EVAP hoses running to the carbon canister, fuel filler neck, CVS, and EVAP Canister Purge Valve.
Go to LEAK VERIFICATION to verify any repair or if no leak is found.

Fuel Pressure Regulator: Description and Operation
Fuel Pressure Regulator
Fuel Pressure Regulator
The fuel pressure regulator is attached to the fuel rail downstream of the fuel injectors. It regulates
fuel pressure supplied to the fuel injectors. The regulator is a diaphragm-operated relief valve. One
side of the diaphragm senses fuel pressure and the other side is connected to the intake manifold
vacuum. Fuel pressure is established by a spring preload applied to the diaphragm. Balancing one
side of the diaphragm with manifold vacuum maintains a constant fuel pressure drop across the
fuel injectors. Fuel pressure is high when engine vacuum is low. Excess fuel is bypassed through
the fuel pressure regulator and returned through the fuel return line to the fuel tank.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Pump > Fuel Pump Relay >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4071
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Pump > Fuel Pump Relay >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4072
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Pump > Fuel Pump Relay >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4073
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation
The Fuel Pump (FP) is a PCM output signal that is used to control the electric fuel pump. With the
electronic EC power relay contacts closed, vehicle power (VPWR) is sent to the coil of the fuel
pump relay. For electric fuel pump operation, the PCM grounds the FP circuit, which is connected
to the coil of the fuel pump relay. This energizes the coil and closes the contacts of the relay,
sending B+ through the FP PWR circuit to the electric fuel pump. When the ignition key is turned
on, the electric fuel pump runs for about one second, but is then turned off by the PCM if engine
rotation is not detected.
For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay (Figure
48) is wired into the fuel pump ground circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the
normally closed position, there is no extra resistance in the ground circuit for high speed operation.
For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump (LFP) circuit, which
opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, the fuel pump ground circuit now passes
through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
THIS PROCEDURE SUPERSEDES ALL OTHER PROCEDURES PUBLISHED IN SERVICE
MANUALS AND TSB ARTICLES.
NOTE
MANY EVAP LEAKS ARE CAUSED BY A LOOSE OR FAULTY CAP. IF THE FUEL CAP IS
SUSPECT DURING VISUAL INSPECTION, DO NOT DISTURB THE FUEL CAP UNTIL THE
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE IS COMPLETE. IF THE LEAK VERIFICATION FAILS, THE CAP
CAN BE REPOSITIONED OR REPLACED AND THE TEST REPEATED. THIS ACTION WILL
ISOLATE THE CAP FROM THE REST OF THE EVAP SYSTEM AS A POTENTIAL CONCERN. IF
DEBRIS ON THE SEALING SURFACE OF THE CAP APPEARS TO BE THE SOURCE OF THE
LEAK, CLEAN THE CAP AND REINSTALL.

2. Start the vehicle.
3. Close both the Canister Vent Solenoid (CVS) (EVAPCV # On or 100% duty cycle) and the EVAP
Canister Purge Valve (EVAPVM# Off or zero % duty cycle).
4. While monitoring the FTP PID, command open the EVAP Canister Purge Valve with the
EVAPVM# PID to 100% duty
5. If the FTP decreases and/or the RPM changes and/or the engine stalls, the test passed. Turn off
engine and proceed to test procedures below. Otherwise replace the EVAP Canister Purge Valve,
verify the repair by repeating the No Flow Test and return vehicle.
SYSTEM LEAK CHECK (SMOKE TEST PROCEDURE)
1. Disconnect the larger of two manifold vacuum lines at the EVAP Canister Purge Valve and cap it
at the EVAP Canister Purge Valve (see Figure 2).
2. Connect the Smoke Machine power cables to vehicle battery The "Power Indicator Lamp" should
be on indicating a good battery contact.
3. Position the selector valve on Rotunda's Smoke Machine Control Panel to "SMOKE".
4. Locate the vehicle's Evaporative Emission Service Test Port and remove the green cap. The
EVAP Service Test Port is located close to or on the EVAP Canister Purge Valve.

WARNING
DO NOT REMOVE THE SCHRADER VALVE. REMOVING THE SCHRADER VALVE FROM THE
TEST PORT ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE ELECTRONIC VAPOR MANAGEMENT
VALVE (9G641) AND/OR ELECTRONIC VAPOR MANAGEMENT VALVE & BRACKET
ASSEMBLY (9G683) (SEE FIGURE 3), OR EVAP CANISTER PURGE VALVE (9C915) AND/OR
EVAP CANISTER PURGE VALVE & BRACKET ASSEMBLY (9F933) (SEE FIGURE 2) WILL
PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE VALVE.
5. Install the EVAP Emission Test Port Adapter that is provided with the Rotunda's Smoke Machine
to EVAP Canister Purge Valve test port.
NOTE
SPECIAL PROCEDURES HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED FOR WINDSTAR, LS, THUNDERBIRD &
PZEV FOCUS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A CHECK VALVE THAT WILL PREVENT SMOKE FROM
ENTERING THE FILLER NECK.
6. Connect black smoke hose nozzle tip to the EVAP Emission Test Port Adapter. For all except
Windstar, LS, Thunderbird & PZEV Focus Use NGS or WDS to close CVS. (CVS WILL REOPEN
AFTER NINE (9) MINUTES OF CONTINUOUS OPERATION).
7. For all except Windstar, LS, Thunderbird & PZEV Focus - Remove the fuel cap from the vehicle.
Depress remote starter button: Smoke will be introduced into the EVAP Emission System. Secure
the fuel cap once smoke is seen exiting from the fuel tank's neck area. For Windstar, LS,
Thunderbird & PZEV Focus, do not remove fuel cap. Depress starter button and introduce smoke to
system until it can be seen exiting the CVS (located by filler neck). Once smoke is seen, use NGS
or WDS to close CVS. (CVS WILL REOPEN AFTER NINE (9) MINUTES OF CONTINUOUS
OPERATION).
8. Press and release the remote starter button in intervals of approximately 15 seconds on and 15
seconds off. Use the halogen light provided with the Smoke Machine to look for smoke in the
engine compartment, EVAP hoses to EVAP Canister Purge Valve, CVS, carbon canister and area
around the fuel cap. Wiggle fuel vapor lines to check for leaks. Check for leaks in areas that are
difficult to access, such as connections on top of the tank where connections may be or inside
frame rails. Use the black light to ensure that there are no leaks. If a leak is detected, repair as
necessary. If the leak is not detected from the top, check under the bottom of vehicle. Inspect the
EVAP hoses running to the carbon canister, fuel filler neck, CVS, and EVAP Canister Purge Valve.
Go to LEAK VERIFICATION to verify any repair or if no leak is found.
LEAK VERIFICATION (METERED AIR SYSTEM)
1. Position the selector valve located on the Smoke Machine control panel to "METER".
2. Verify calibration of the flow meter by using the .020" calibrated leak orifice. To do this, insert air
supply hose (transparent hose) nozzle tip into appropriate EVAP System calibrated leak orifice
located on the front of the Smoke Machine panel.
3. TURN ON: Depress the remote starter button. Observe the position of the flow meter indicator
ball. Position the flow meter red pointer flag so it aligns with the measurement of the indicator ball.
Release the button and remove the air supply hose nozzle tip from the EVAP System calibrated
leak orifice.
NOTE
THIS FLOW METER CALIBRATION MEASUREMENT INDICATES THE VEHICLE PASS OR FAIL
CRITERIA BASED ON THE .020" EVAP SYSTEM LEAK STANDARD.

4. Connect the transparent air supply hose nozzle tip into the EVAP Service Test Port adapter.
5. Use NGS or WDS Diagnostic tool to CLOSE the CVS.
6. Depress the remote starter button on the Rotunda's Smoke Leak Detector. The indicator ball in
the flowmeter will go all the way to the top indicating the system is being pressurized. Continue to
depress the remote starter button until the ball stops descending. Once the indicator ball has
stopped descending, observe if it is above or below the red indicator flag. If performing this
verification following a repair, go to Step 7. If performing this verification after performing the
SYSTEM LEAK CHECK (SMOKE TEST PROCEDURE), go to Step 8.
7. Leak Verification After Repair
a. If the measurement is below the indicator flag the system has passed. The test procedure is
complete. Remove the Smoke Machine Test equipment from the vehicle and reconnect the large
EVAP Canister Purge Valve manifold vacuum hose and the test port's green cap.
b. If the measurement is above the indicator flag, repeat SYSTEM LEAK CHECK (SMOKE TEST
PROCEDURE).
8. Leak Verification After Passing SYSTEM LEAK CHECK (SMOKE TEST PROCEDURE)
a. If the measurement is below the indicator flag the system has passed, go to Step 9.
b. If the measurement is above the indicator flag, repeat SYSTEM LEAK CHECK (SMOKE TEST
PROCEDURE).
9. Using WDS Datalogger or NGS select the FTPV PID.
10. Remove Fuel Cap and turn the vehicle's ignition switch to the run position and check the FTPV
PID.
11. The nominal value for the FTPV PID is 2.6V. If the value is greater than 2.8V or less than 2.4V,

SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
THIS PROCEDURE SUPERSEDES ALL OTHER PROCEDURES PUBLISHED IN SERVICE
MANUALS AND TSB ARTICLES.
NOTE
MANY EVAP LEAKS ARE CAUSED BY A LOOSE OR FAULTY CAP. IF THE FUEL CAP IS
SUSPECT DURING VISUAL INSPECTION, DO NOT DISTURB THE FUEL CAP UNTIL THE
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE IS COMPLETE. IF THE LEAK VERIFICATION FAILS, THE CAP
CAN BE REPOSITIONED OR REPLACED AND THE TEST REPEATED. THIS ACTION WILL
ISOLATE THE CAP FROM THE REST OF THE EVAP SYSTEM AS A POTENTIAL CONCERN. IF
DEBRIS ON THE SEALING SURFACE OF THE CAP APPEARS TO BE THE SOURCE OF THE
LEAK, CLEAN THE CAP AND REINSTALL.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED FOR WINDSTAR, LS, THUNDERBIRD &
PZEV FOCUS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A CHECK VALVE THAT WILL PREVENT SMOKE FROM
ENTERING THE FILLER NECK.
6. Connect black smoke hose nozzle tip to the EVAP Emission Test Port Adapter. For all except
Windstar, LS, Thunderbird & PZEV Focus Use NGS or WDS to close CVS. (CVS WILL REOPEN
AFTER NINE (9) MINUTES OF CONTINUOUS OPERATION).
7. For all except Windstar, LS, Thunderbird & PZEV Focus - Remove the fuel cap from the vehicle.
Depress remote starter button: Smoke will be introduced into the EVAP Emission System. Secure
the fuel cap once smoke is seen exiting from the fuel tank's neck area. For Windstar, LS,
Thunderbird & PZEV Focus, do not remove fuel cap. Depress starter button and introduce smoke to
system until it can be seen exiting the CVS (located by filler neck). Once smoke is seen, use NGS
or WDS to close CVS. (CVS WILL REOPEN AFTER NINE (9) MINUTES OF CONTINUOUS
OPERATION).
8. Press and release the remote starter button in intervals of approximately 15 seconds on and 15
seconds off. Use the halogen light provided with the Smoke Machine to look for smoke in the
engine compartment, EVAP hoses to EVAP Canister Purge Valve, CVS, carbon canister and area
around the fuel cap. Wiggle fuel vapor lines to check for leaks. Check for leaks in areas that are
difficult to access, such as connections on top of the tank where connections may be or inside
frame rails. Use the black light to ensure that there are no leaks. If a leak is detected, repair as
necessary. If the leak is not detected from the top, check under the bottom of vehicle. Inspect the
EVAP hoses running to the carbon canister, fuel filler neck, CVS, and EVAP Canister Purge Valve.
Go to LEAK VERIFICATION to verify any repair or if no leak is found.
LEAK VERIFICATION (METERED AIR SYSTEM)
1. Position the selector valve located on the Smoke Machine control panel to "METER".
2. Verify calibration of the flow meter by using the .020" calibrated leak orifice. To do this, insert air
supply hose (transparent hose) nozzle tip into appropriate EVAP System calibrated leak orifice
located on the front of the Smoke Machine panel.
3. TURN ON: Depress the remote starter button. Observe the position of the flow meter indicator
ball. Position the flow meter red pointer flag so it aligns with the measurement of the indicator ball.

4. Connect the transparent air supply hose nozzle tip into the EVAP Service Test Port adapter.
5. Use NGS or WDS Diagnostic tool to CLOSE the CVS.
6. Depress the remote starter button on the Rotunda's Smoke Leak Detector. The indicator ball in
the flowmeter will go all the way to the top indicating the system is being pressurized. Continue to
depress the remote starter button until the ball stops descending. Once the indicator ball has
stopped descending, observe if it is above or below the red indicator flag. If performing this
verification following a repair, go to Step 7. If performing this verification after performing the
SYSTEM LEAK CHECK (SMOKE TEST PROCEDURE), go to Step 8.
7. Leak Verification After Repair
a. If the measurement is below the indicator flag the system has passed. The test procedure is
complete. Remove the Smoke Machine Test equipment from the vehicle and reconnect the large
EVAP Canister Purge Valve manifold vacuum hose and the test port's green cap.
b. If the measurement is above the indicator flag, repeat SYSTEM LEAK CHECK (SMOKE TEST
PROCEDURE).
8. Leak Verification After Passing SYSTEM LEAK CHECK (SMOKE TEST PROCEDURE)
a. If the measurement is below the indicator flag the system has passed, go to Step 9.
b. If the measurement is above the indicator flag, repeat SYSTEM LEAK CHECK (SMOKE TEST
PROCEDURE).
9. Using WDS Datalogger or NGS select the FTPV PID.
10. Remove Fuel Cap and turn the vehicle's ignition switch to the run position and check the FTPV
PID.
11. The nominal value for the FTPV PID is 2.6V. If the value is greater than 2.8V or less than 2.4V,
the FTP sensor is out of range and should be replaced. Verify the repair by checking to see if the
new sensor is in range. For all except Windstar, LS, Thunderbird & PZEV Focus - if the sensor is
within range, the concern is no longer present. (Windstar, LS, Thunderbird & PZEV Focus go to
Step 12.)
12. For Windstar, LS, Thunderbird & PZEV Focus only verify that filler neck clamps are in good
working order and tightened. Repair as necessary. If no problem is found with clamps, replace the
fuel cap.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Temperature Sensor >
Component Information > Description and Operation
Fuel Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Engine Fuel Temperature Sensor
The Engine Fuel Temperature (EFT) sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes
with temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as temperature increases,
and increases as 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 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.
Engine Fuel Temperature (EFT) Sensor
The EFT sensor measures the temperature of the fuel near the fuel injectors. This signal is used by
the PCM to adjust the fuel injector pulse width and meter fuel to each engine combustion cylinder.

Idle Air Control Valve
Nippondenso Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve Assembly
Hitachi Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve Assembly with Vent/Filter
Hitachi Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve Assembly with Air-Assist Injectors
The Idle Air Control (IAC) valve assembly controls 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 AC duty cycle in order to achieve the desired rpm.
On applications with air-assisted injectors, the IAC valve also supplies a small amount of air into
the path of the fuel injectors. The jet of air causes an increase in fuel atomization at low speed and
light load conditions.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Idle Air Control Valve <--> [Idle
Speed/Throttle Actuator - Electronic] > Component Information > Specifications > Page 4217
NOTE: The IAC Valve Assembly is NOT ADJUSTABLE and CANNOT BE CLEANED.
The IAC valve (part of throttle body assembly) has an internal diode on some applications. If the
internal diode is measured in crossed terminal position with a digital multimeter, there will be an
incorrect or negative reading. It is important that the mating component and harness connectors
are correctly oriented. Diagnostic procedures emphasize this importance.
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.
^ Air Assist to Injectors.

Idle Air Control Valve: Testing and Inspection
Idle Air Control Valve Noise Test
1. Open the hood. 2. Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
NOTE: ^
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
^ "Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
3. Inspect the IAC valve. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new IAC valve. 4.
While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the IAC valve and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm
(0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean air tube. If the IAC valve is making the noise,
install a new IAC valve.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.

Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) Switch
The Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch is used in conjunction with the electric fuel pump. The purpose
of the IFS switch is to shut off 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 Guide for the location of the IFS.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.

This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.

A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation
The Fuel Pump (FP) is a PCM output signal that is used to control the electric fuel pump. With the
electronic EC power relay contacts closed, vehicle power (VPWR) is sent to the coil of the fuel
pump relay. For electric fuel pump operation, the PCM grounds the FP circuit, which is connected
to the coil of the fuel pump relay. This energizes the coil and closes the contacts of the relay,
sending B+ through the FP PWR circuit to the electric fuel pump. When the ignition key is turned
on, the electric fuel pump runs for about one second, but is then turned off by the PCM if engine
rotation is not detected.
For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay (Figure
48) is wired into the fuel pump ground circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the
normally closed position, there is no extra resistance in the ground circuit for high speed operation.
For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump (LFP) circuit, which
opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, the fuel pump ground circuit now passes
through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.

Mass Air Flow Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow Sensor
Typical Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The Mass Air Flow (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 ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. If the hot wire
electronic sensing element must be replaced, then the entire assembly must be replaced.
Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.
The current required to maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the air mass 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.
Diagram Of Air Flow Through Throttle Body Containing MAF Sensor Hot And Cold Wire (and IAT
Sensor Where Applicable) Terminals
Some MAF sensors have Integrated Bypass Technology (IBT) with an integrated Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) sensor. The present applications with IBT are: Focus, Escort (4V), 2.0 L
Contour/Mystique, Cougar, Taurus/Sable, Windstar, Explorer/Mountaineer and E-Series.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly.

Fuel Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Engine Fuel Temperature Sensor
The Engine Fuel Temperature (EFT) sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes
with temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as temperature increases,
and increases as 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 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.
Engine Fuel Temperature (EFT) Sensor
The EFT sensor measures the temperature of the fuel near the fuel injectors. This signal is used by
the PCM to adjust the fuel injector pulse width and meter fuel to each engine combustion cylinder.

Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) Switch
Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) Switch
The Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch is used in conjunction with the electric fuel pump. The purpose
of the IFS switch is to shut off 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 Guide for the location of the IFS.

Throttle Position Sensor
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The Throttle Position (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
three-blade electrical connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases corrosion
resistance on terminals and increases connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on the
throttle body. As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, four operating conditions are
determined by the PCM from the TP. Those 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), and throttle angle rate.
The TP sensor
^ sends the powertrain control module a signal indicating the throttle plate angle.
^ is the main input to the powertrain control module from the driver.

Throttle Body Housing
The throttle body housing assembly is a single piece of aluminum casting with an air passage and
a butterfly throttle plate with linkage mechanisms. When the throttle plate is in the idle (or closed)
position, the throttle lever arm should be in contact with the Throttle Return Stop. The throttle return
stop prevents the throttle plate from contacting the bore and sticking closed. The setting also
establishes the amount of air flow between the throttle plate and bore. To minimize the closed plate
air flow, a special coating is applied to the throttle plate and bore to help seal this area. This
sealant/coating also makes the throttle body resistant to engine intake sludge accumulation.

The IMT valve motorized unit will not be energized below approximately 2600 rpm or higher on
some vehicles. The shutter will be in the closed position not allowing airflow blend to occur in the
intake manifold. Above approximately 2600 rpm or higher, the motorized unit will be energized. The
motorized unit will be commanded on by the PCM initially at a 100 percent duty cycle to move the
shutter to the open position and then falling to approximately 50 percent to continue to hold the
shutter open.
1. The PCM uses the TP sensor and CKP signals to determine activation of the IMT valve system.
There must be a positive change in voltage from
the TP sensor along with the increase in rpm to open the shutter.
2. The PCM uses the information from the input signals to control the IMT valve. 3. When
commanded on by the PCM, the motorized actuator shutter opens up the end of the vertical
separating wall at high engine speeds to allow
both sides of the manifold to blend together.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Camshaft Position Sensor
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor
identifies when piston No. 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) and used for synchronizing the firing of sequential fuel injectors. The Coil
On Plug (COP) Ignition applications also use the CMP signal to select the proper ignition coil to
fire. The input circuit to the PCM is referred to as the CMP input or circuit.
Typical Hall-Effect Sensor
Typical Variable Reluctant Sensor
There are two types of CMP sensors: the three pin connector Hall-effect type sensor and the two
pin connector variable reluctance sensor.

Crankshaft Position Sensor (Integrated Ignition Systems)
Three Different Types Of Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensors
The Crankshaft Position (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 Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The trigger wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced 10 degrees apart with one empty space for
a missing tooth. The 6.8L ten cylinder pulse wheel has 39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9
degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring the trigger wheel, the CKP indicates
crankshaft position and speed information to the PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP 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 fixed reference.

NOTE
FOLLOW THIS TSB PROCEDURE ONLY IF THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC MISFIRE TSBs/SSMs
RELEASED FOR THE VEHICLE SYMPTOM BEING EXPERIENCED.
ISSUE Approximately 50% of coil on plug (COP) coils returned for warranty do not have a problem.
ACTION The misfiring cylinder must be identified through Self-Test misfire codes or through WDS
Power Balance. Rule out base engine problems, rule out fuel problems, and then look at ignition
problems (be sure to rule out coil primary circuit issues). Once the above steps have been
completed, and the issue is in the secondary part of the ignition system, the oscilloscope procedure
outlined in this TSB can isolate the difference between a coil or spark plug problem.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
The optional WDS COP Kit available through Rotunda will provide more accurate diagnosis and
help reduce replacement of non-defective parts. The Kit (418-F5528) can be purchased through
1-800-ROTUNDA.
The following material will detail the diagnostic steps on WDS to take the guesswork out of misfire
diagnosis using the COP Kit. The following
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Ignition Coil > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Ignition System - Coil-On-Plug Misfire Diagnostic Tips > Page 4352
procedure is for cylinder specific misfires and not random misfires. Random misfires have a
different root cause and are not covered by this TSB.
Misfire Definition: A misfiring cylinder is lacking power relative to the other cylinders. The causes
for a cylinder specific misfire could be fuel, spark, or mechanical problems.
Perform a thorough visual inspection. If no visible concerns are found use the following WDS tools
for misfire diagnosis:
^ Self-test (Check for codes first)
Power Balance (Identify the cylinder of concern)
^ Relative Compression (Rule out a possible mechanical issue)
^ Fuel (Make sure fuel injectors are not restricted)
^ Ignition (Make sure spark plugs and coils are working properly)
^ Oscilloscope (Detailed signal analysis)
NOTE
USE THE ENCYCLOPEDIA BUTTON IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER OF THE SCREEN FOR
DETAILED INFORMATION ON THE WDS TOOL BEING DISPLAYED.
If there is a self-test code identifying a particular cylinder then you just need to determine if it is a
fuel, ignition, or possibly a mechanical problem. Proceed to Step 2 after running Relative
Compression to rule out any mechanical issues. If there is no self-test code and the customer
concern is a miss, proceed to Step 1.
Step 1: (Select Toolbox Icon, then Powertrain, then Power Balance)
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Ignition Coil > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Ignition System - Coil-On-Plug Misfire Diagnostic Tips > Page 4353
The cylinder specific miss has to be identified as shown in the example in Figure 2 in order to
proceed with the remaining steps. If the miss does not occur at idle (in the bay), try to brake torque
the engine. This extra loading should reproduce the miss in the bay. If the miss cannot be
reproduced during brake torque, select Relative Compression under Powertrain on WDS before
going on a road test to rule out mechanical problems. If Relative Compression shows a problem
then the base engine issue must be serviced. If Relative Compression results are good (Figure 3),
road test under as many different driving conditions as possible until the miss occurs on Power
Balance. Some misses may be very intermiffent so be patient and concentrate on steady load
conditions. Once a cylinder dropout is identified proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: (Select Toolbox Icon, then Powertrain, then Fuel System Test)
Run Fuel System Test on WDS to determine if there may be a fuel problem. After completing fuel
Pressure/Leakdown test, select Injector flow to isolate

Service Bulletins > Ignition System - Coil-On-Plug Misfire Diagnostic Tips > Page 4354
a restricted injector as shown in Figure 4. If all the injectors are within specification, proceed to
Step 3.
Step 3: (Select Toolbox Icon, then Powertrain, then Ignition System Test)
Run Ignition System Test on WDS to determine if there is an ignition problem. Look at both
duration (DUR) and kilovolts (KV) and look for values that standout from the rest as shown in
Figure 5 and Figure 6.
NOTE
LIVE DISPLAY HAS TO AVERAGE IGNITION VALUES BECAUSE THERE IS TOO MUCH DATA
TO DISPLAY. MAKE A CAPTURE TO VIEW EACH ENGINE EVENT WITHOUT AVERAGING.
THIS CAN BE HELPFUL WHEN THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. IF THE
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Ignition Coil > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Ignition System - Coil-On-Plug Misfire Diagnostic Tips > Page 4355
MISS IS EXTREMELY INTERMITTENT AND DOES NOT SHOW UP IN IGNITION, PROCEED TO
STEP 4.
If either spark duration or peak KV on the Red Probe (Suspect Cylinder) are offset from the values
displayed on the Black Probe (Known Good Cylinder) then the problem is in the ignition system.
Rule out coil primary circuit issues before proceeding to coil secondary issues such as the spark
plug , coil boot, or possibly the coil. Use the WDS Oscilloscope with the COP kit to determine if the
issue is the coil or the spark plug.
Step 4: (Select Toolbox, then Oscilloscope)
WARNING
SECONDARY IGNITION VOLTAGES ARE VERY HIGH. KEEP HANDS AND TOOLS AWAY
FROM THE END OF THE COIL THAT SUPPLIES THE SPARK.
SET-UP: With the engine off, pull the suspect coil from the cylinder well and turn it upside down so
the coil cannot spark to any other surface as shown in Figure 1. Wrap a clean shop cloth around
the hard shell of the coil to help keep the coil propped up and stable.
CAUTION
THE COIL BOOT CAN BE DAMAGED IF THE COIL SPARKS TO ANOTHER SURFACE DURING
THIS PROCEDURE.
Keep the coil connected to the harness and leave the WDS COP clip attached to the coil. Route
the coil clip wire and cable away from the coil being tested as well as other coils to avoid noise
interference. Disconnect the injector of the cylinder being tested so raw fuel is not washing the
cylinder. This is a stress test for the coil. The type of waveform displayed on the oscilloscope will
show whether a coil or the plug is the problem if all previous steps have been followed. Keep hands
and tools away from the end of the coil that supplies the spark.
COP Stress Test Procedure:

Service Bulletins > Ignition System - Coil-On-Plug Misfire Diagnostic Tips > Page 4357
Go to the Oscilloscope Tool and select Channel 3, then select Auto, then select
COP_STRESS_TEST_RED. This pre-configured setting will zoom-in on the peak firing of the coil
being tested. Start the engine and be sure the coil is not sparking to any surface. If the coil is
sparking to other surfaces, turn the engine off immediately and readjust the coil so it cannot spark
to any other surface. Restart the engine and touch the Red Man icon to start the oscilloscope. All
settings are pre-configured and no adjustments are necessary. Compare the waveform you get
with the examples provided in Figures 7, 8, and 9). Figure 7 is a good waveform. If your waveform
is similar to Figure 7 the coil is working correctly. Suspect the spark plug.
Figure 8 and Figure 9 are examples of problem coils. Replace the coil if the waveform is similar to
Figures 8 or 9. The coil is causing the misfire when the peak firing appears like those shown in
Figures 8 and 9. Notice the difference in the peak-firing signal when compared to the good peak
signal in Figure 7.
Figure 9 shows a more dramatic fault in the peak failure.
Most root causes of misfire issues can be identified quickly using the steps outlined above. Some
misfire issues can be difficult making the oscilloscope an important part of your diagnostic toolbox.

Ignition Coil: Description and Operation Coil Pack
Coil Pack
Example: Six-Tower Coil Pack
A coil in a coil pack is turned on (for example is coil charging) by the PCM, and is turned off when
firing two spark plugs at once. 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.
The ignition coils are triggered by the powertrain control module in pairs (cylinders 1 and 4 and
cylinders 2 and 3) sending one ignition spark to the firing cylinder and one ignition spark to the
corresponding cylinder on the exhaust stroke.

include a Lock Lever Kit Application Chart.
ISSUE The current door, decklid, ignition, and stowage locks cannot be serviced individually.
Current lock repair practice is to replace the entire lock set (-22050-) when one (1) or more locks
must be replaced. The release of this TSB and associated parts will allow replacement of any
individual malfunctioning lock (i.e., door lock, ignition lock, decklid lock, etc.) instead of replacing
the entire lockset. This TSB only applies to the 8-bit locks introduced in 1996. The 10-bit lock is not
affected.
ACTION Lock service packages have been released that contain all the necessary components to
re-pin a new lock cylinder to the customer's current key code. It allows the service community to
replace the individual lock cylinder on a given vehicle rather than replace the entire lockset. For
removal and installation procedures for all lock cylinders, refer to the following Service Procedure
for details.
NOTE
MOST MODELS BUILT DURING THE 1996 MODEL YEAR HAVE BOTH THE 10-BIT AND 8-BIT
LOCKS ON THEM. CHECK THE BUILD DATE OF THE VEHICLE TO ENSURE THE USE OF
THE CORRECT STYLE OF LOCK WHEN SERVICING ANY LOCK ON A 1996 VEHICLE. THE
10-BIT LOCKS ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THIS TSB AND MUST BE SERVICED BY REPLACING
THE COMPLETE LOCK SET. THE TWO STYLES ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE.

^ For ignition lock concerns, see appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 11-04 or
Workshop Manual, Section 211-04.
^ Other lock concerns, see appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 01-14A or Workshop
Manual, Section 501-14.
Obtain the lock service package for the vehicle being serviced by referring to the Part Number And
Usage Chart for correct application.
Determine the matching key cut depth at each key station (any of the following three methods may
be used to determine the key cut depth at each key station).
^ Use the OEM key code provided with the vehicle and look up the cut pattern in the key code table
(the selling dealer should have the key code or the customer may be able to provide it). A key code
table comes with the Rotunda Key Cutter (011-00215).
^ Use a "key decoder" to determine each cut height. A decoder may be included with the Rotunda
Key Cutter or can be ordered separately through Rotunda (Decoder Part Number 011-RMT61).
Equivalent decoders are commonly available through the locksmith industry. A key decoder is a
plate with an elongated slot corresponding to the different key cut heights.
^ Using the customers key, measure the key cut depth at each key station using Figure 2 of the
instruction sheet contained within each lock service package.
One of the steps in building a new lock is to insert the key and verify the tumblers are flush to the
cylinder. This step is clearly spelled out in the instruction sheet. This will ensure that the lock is
rebuilt properly before it's installed in the vehicle.
Each lock service package will include a unique detailed instruction sheet on how to re-pin that
individual lock cylinder. If further assistance is needed, call Ford Motor Company toll-free at (800)
826-4694 (direct dial at (313) 248-4200) between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM ET (all U.S. and Canadian
dealers only).
For technical questions regarding the lock service pack re-pinning process, call Ford Interior
Systems at (313) 337-3041.
A special service tool is required to properly install (crimp) the round dust covers on the door lock
cylinder. This special service tool has been provided through a special mailing to all North
American servicing dealers. If additional tools are required, contact Rotunda Tools at (800)
768-8632 (direct dial at (810) 574-2332, ask for OTC order desk) to purchase a new tool
(501-O51A).

WARNING: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event
of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover pointed away from your
body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: Do not set a live air bag module down with the trim cover face down. This will reduce
the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a
product of the gas generant combustion that is irritating to the skin. Wash your hands with soap
and water afterwards.
WARNING: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag
deployment, which can result in personal injury.
WARNING: Air bag modules with discolored or damaged trim covers must be replaced, not
repainted.
WARNING: Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for proper system operation. If a vehicle equipped
with an air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is involved in a collision, inspect the sensor
mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. Replace and properly position the sensor or
any other damaged Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components whether or not the air bag
is deployed.
WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply
must be depleted before repairing or replacing any front or side air bag Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) components and before servicing, replacing, adjusting or striking components near
the front or side air bag sensors, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers,
seats and hood latches. The side air bag sensors are located at or near the base of the B-pillar. To
deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one
minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).
Note: The narrow section of the keyhole in the lock gear must be in the one o'clock position.
1. Install the steering column lock gear and bearing.

Digital Transmission Range Sensor: Description and Operation
Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
Typical Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
The Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch is an input to the PCM indicating the clutch pedal position
and, in some manual transmission applications, both the clutch pedal engagement position and the
gear shift position. The PCM provides a 5-volt reference (VREF) signal to the CPP switch and/or a
Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (on the CPP signal line). If the CPP switch (either or both CPP
and PNP switches are closed) is closed, indicating the clutch pedal is engaged and the shift lever is
in the NEUTRAL position, the output voltage (5 volts) from the PCM is grounded through the signal
return line to the PCM, and there is 1 volt or less. One volt or less indicates there is a reduced load
on the engine. If the CPP switch (or PNP switch on vehicle or both CPP and PNP switches open on
the vehicle) is open, meaning the clutch pedal is disengaged (all systems) and the shift lever is not
in NEUTRAL position (PNP switch systems), the input on the CPP signal to the PCM will be
approximately 5 volts. Then, the 5-volt signal input at the PCM will indicate a load on the engine.
The PCM uses the load information in mass air flow and fuel calculations.

This article supersedes TSB 04-21-07 to update the service procedure and to clarify this TSB
applies to all powertrain control module (PCM) reprogramming, with or without PCM replacement.
ISSUE PCMs may need to be reprogrammed or replaced as part of a repair. Additional vehicle
concerns may be caused if proper programming procedures are not followed.
ACTION Use the following procedure to reprogram PCMs.
Verify repair after reprogramming.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
PRELIMINARY STEPS - Existing PCM
Reprogramming Or PCM Replacement
1. Connect a battery charger to vehicle.
2. Use WDS if available.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for PROM - Programmable Read Only Memory: >
04-24-14 > Dec > 04 > Engine Controls - General PCM Programming Procedures > Page 4482
a. Make sure WDS is docked or attached to vehicle battery supply.
b. Verify WDS software is at the latest release level.
3. If there is a communication error, attempt to communicate with a different diagnostic scan tool,
such as NGS, NGS+, VCM or another WDS.
NOTE
IF COMMUNICATION STILL CANNOT BE ESTABLISHED, VOLTAGE DROP PCM POWERS,
GROUNDS, AND CHECK VREF.
PCM REPLACEMENT - STANDARD
1. Open WDS vehicle session with original PCM installed in vehicle. If the original PCM is not able
to communicate, to open a session, proceed to the Blank Path Programming procedure.
2. Install the new PCM.
NOTE
IF WDS NEEDS TO BE USED ON A DIFFERENT VEHICLE WHILE THE NEW PCM IS BEING
INSTALLED, PLACE THE VEHICLE SESSION ON "HOLD" FOR USE LATER.
3. Attempt to start the vehicle.
4. Run KOEO Self Test to check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) in PCM.
5. Check for DTC P0602/P0605/P1639.
a. If DTC P0602/P0605/P1639 is present then Programmable Module Installation (PMI) procedure
must be performed. Use the WDS session opened at Step 1.
b. If DTC P0602/P0605/P1639 is not present, then verify Programmable Parameters are properly
set such as tire size, axle ratio, etc.
6. Check for DTC B2900.
a. If DTC B2900 is present, perform PMI on the ABS module. Do Not replace ABS module for this
procedure when directed. You may be prompted to enter the 9 lines of PCM As-Built data during
this procedure.
b. If DTC B2900 is not present proceed to Step 7.
7. Diagnose all other DTCs following normal diagnostic procedures.
REPROGRAMMING DOES NOT COMPLETE OR FAILS - Existing PCM Reprogramming Or PCM
Replacement
1. Verify all cables are properly connected.
2. Verify vehicle battery is at proper charge level.
3. Verify scan tool battery is at proper charge level.
4. Attempt reprogramming procedure again.
5. If reprogramming still does not complete properly, save current session, reboot WDS, open
previous session, and attempt reprogramming again.
6. If reprogramming still does not complete or you are now unable to communicate with PCM,
proceed to the Blank Path Programming procedure.
BLANK PATH PROGRAMMING - Existing PCM Reprogramming Or PCM Replacement
Perform this procedure prior to PCM replacement if a vehicle comes in with a PCM that will not
communicate, or if steps earlier in this TSB directed you to this procedure.
1. Verify powers and grounds to PCM by loading and voltage drop testing circuits.
2. Follow Pin Point Tests to verify network integrity.
NOTE
IGNITION MUST REMAIN IN THE OFF POSITION UNTIL PERFORMING STEP 8. DO NOT
TURN THE KEY ON WHEN WDS IS

ISSUE
Some vehicles equipped with the 4R70W automatic transmission may exhibit a "Ticking" or
"clicking" type noise in first gear. This may be caused by the intermediate clutch moving inside the
transmission.
ACTION
Install an intermediate clutch anti-rattle clip to correct noise. Refer to the following Service
Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Verify clicking noise in first (1st) gear only.
2. Lift and support vehicle. Refer to the appropriate model year Workshop Manual, Section 100-02.
3 Remove the transmission from the vehicle. Refer to Workshop Manual, Section 307-01.
4. Remove the torque converter and the front pump assembly from the transmission. Remove and
discard front pump gasket. Refer to Workshop Manual, Section 307-01.
5. Before installing the anti-rattle clip, push on the clutch plates opposite the 1 o'clock case

1. Using a suitable torque converter/fluid cooler cleaner, clean the fluid cooler tubes. 2. Test your
equipment to make sure that a vigorous fluid flow is present before proceeding. Replace the
system filter if flow is weak or
contaminated.
3. To aid in attaching the cleaner to the transmission steel cooler tubes, connect two additional
rubber hoses to the transmission end of the steel
transmission cooler tubes as follows: Disconnect the fluid cooler tubes from the Oil-To-Air (OTA) cooler.
- Install a rubber hose in place of the oil-to-air cooler.
- Connect the cleaner tank pressure line to the steel transmission cooler return tube (the longest
tube).
- Connect a tank return hose to the steel transmission cooler pressure tube (shorter tube). Place
the outlet end of this hose in the solvent tank reservoir.
4. Turn on solvent pump and allow the solvent to circulate a minimum of 5 minutes (cycling switch
on and off will help dislodge contaminants in the
cooler system).
5. Switch off the solvent pump and disconnect the solvent pressure hose from the transmission
cooler return tube. 6. Use compressed air to blow out the cooler(s) and tubes (blow air into the
transmission cooler return tube) until all solvent is removed. 7. Remove the rubber return hose from
the remaining steel cooler tube. 8. Install the Oil-To-Air (OTA) cooler tubes.

ISSUE
Some vehicles equipped with a 4R70W automatic transmission may exhibit a "clunk" noise during
the 2-1 downshift event. The "clunk" noise will be consistent in nature, and will occur during most
2-1 downshifts. This may be caused by a Planet Support Spring that is out of position.
ACTION
Check for the correct installation of the Planet Support Spring. If the spring is not installed correctly,
the Planetary Gear Support will make contact with the transmission case during the 2-1 downshift,
causing the "clunk" noise. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
THE "CLUNK" NOISE DESCRIBED IN THIS ARTICLE SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED WITH
HARSH/ROUGH 2-1 DOWNSHIFT CONDITION. IF A HARSH/ROUGH 2-1 SHIFT CONDITION IS
PRESENT, FOLLOW NORMAL WORKSHOP MANUAL DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES.
1. Use Chassis Ears (Rotunda number 107-R2102 or equivalent) to verify the "clunk" noise is
originating from the transmission during the 2-1 downshift event.
NOTE
IF THE NOISE IS NOT ORIGINATING FROM THE TRANSMISSION DO NOT CONTINUE WITH
THIS SERVICE PROCEDURE. USE THE CHASSIS EARS TO HELP PINPOINT THE ORIGIN OF
THE NOISE, THEN DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR AS NEEDED.
2. Raise and support vehicle. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 100-02.
3. Check for correct torque on the following chassis & drivetrain components:
^ Driveshaft to Pinion Flange fasteners
^ Upper and Lower Control Arm fasteners (car applications)
^ Rear Leaf Spring Fasteners (truck applications)
^ Rear Shock Absorber fasteners
^ Transmission Mount and Crossmember fasteners
4. If any discrepancies are found, correct and test drive vehicle to verify repair. If condition is not
corrected, continue to Step 5.

5. Remove the transmission from the vehicle and disassemble down to and including the Center
Support Retaining Ring. Refer to Workshop Manual section 307-01.
6. Note the position of the Planet Support Spring. Compare to the correct installation which is
illustrated in Figure 1. One tang of the Planet Support Spring should be loaded against the
transmission case. The other tang should be loaded against the Planetary Gear Support.
7. Unless the Planet Support Spring is damaged, it may be reinstalled in the transmission correctly.
If the spring is damaged, replace with part number F5AZ-7F277-AA.
8. Install the Planet Support Spring in the position illustrated in Figure 1. Use a flat/wide tool, that
will apply equal force across the spring. This will ensure the spring is installed squarely with the
tangs loading the Transmission Case on one side and the Planetary Gear Support on the other.
9. Reassemble and install the transmission. Replace the Pump Gasket during reassembly. Part
number F2VY-7A136-A.

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

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

Digital Transmission Range Sensor: Description and Operation
Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
Typical Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
The Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch is an input to the PCM indicating the clutch pedal position
and, in some manual transmission applications, both the clutch pedal engagement position and the
gear shift position. The PCM provides a 5-volt reference (VREF) signal to the CPP switch and/or a
Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (on the CPP signal line). If the CPP switch (either or both CPP
and PNP switches are closed) is closed, indicating the clutch pedal is engaged and the shift lever is
in the NEUTRAL position, the output voltage (5 volts) from the PCM is grounded through the signal
return line to the PCM, and there is 1 volt or less. One volt or less indicates there is a reduced load
on the engine. If the CPP switch (or PNP switch on vehicle or both CPP and PNP switches open on
the vehicle) is open, meaning the clutch pedal is disengaged (all systems) and the shift lever is not
in NEUTRAL position (PNP switch systems), the input on the CPP signal to the PCM will be
approximately 5 volts. Then, the 5-volt signal input at the PCM will indicate a load on the engine.
The PCM uses the load information in mass air flow and fuel calculations.

Digital Transmission Range Sensor: Description and Operation
Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
Typical Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
The Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch is an input to the PCM indicating the clutch pedal position
and, in some manual transmission applications, both the clutch pedal engagement position and the
gear shift position. The PCM provides a 5-volt reference (VREF) signal to the CPP switch and/or a
Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (on the CPP signal line). If the CPP switch (either or both CPP
and PNP switches are closed) is closed, indicating the clutch pedal is engaged and the shift lever is
in the NEUTRAL position, the output voltage (5 volts) from the PCM is grounded through the signal
return line to the PCM, and there is 1 volt or less. One volt or less indicates there is a reduced load
on the engine. If the CPP switch (or PNP switch on vehicle or both CPP and PNP switches open on
the vehicle) is open, meaning the clutch pedal is disengaged (all systems) and the shift lever is not
in NEUTRAL position (PNP switch systems), the input on the CPP signal to the PCM will be
approximately 5 volts. Then, the 5-volt signal input at the PCM will indicate a load on the engine.
The PCM uses the load information in mass air flow and fuel calculations.

Digital Transmission Range Sensor: Description and Operation
Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
Typical Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
The Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch is an input to the PCM indicating the clutch pedal position
and, in some manual transmission applications, both the clutch pedal engagement position and the
gear shift position. The PCM provides a 5-volt reference (VREF) signal to the CPP switch and/or a
Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (on the CPP signal line). If the CPP switch (either or both CPP
and PNP switches are closed) is closed, indicating the clutch pedal is engaged and the shift lever is
in the NEUTRAL position, the output voltage (5 volts) from the PCM is grounded through the signal
return line to the PCM, and there is 1 volt or less. One volt or less indicates there is a reduced load
on the engine. If the CPP switch (or PNP switch on vehicle or both CPP and PNP switches open on
the vehicle) is open, meaning the clutch pedal is disengaged (all systems) and the shift lever is not
in NEUTRAL position (PNP switch systems), the input on the CPP signal to the PCM will be
approximately 5 volts. Then, the 5-volt signal input at the PCM will indicate a load on the engine.
The PCM uses the load information in mass air flow and fuel calculations.

Digital Transmission Range Sensor: Description and Operation
Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
Typical Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
The Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch is an input to the PCM indicating the clutch pedal position
and, in some manual transmission applications, both the clutch pedal engagement position and the
gear shift position. The PCM provides a 5-volt reference (VREF) signal to the CPP switch and/or a
Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (on the CPP signal line). If the CPP switch (either or both CPP
and PNP switches are closed) is closed, indicating the clutch pedal is engaged and the shift lever is
in the NEUTRAL position, the output voltage (5 volts) from the PCM is grounded through the signal
return line to the PCM, and there is 1 volt or less. One volt or less indicates there is a reduced load
on the engine. If the CPP switch (or PNP switch on vehicle or both CPP and PNP switches open on
the vehicle) is open, meaning the clutch pedal is disengaged (all systems) and the shift lever is not
in NEUTRAL position (PNP switch systems), the input on the CPP signal to the PCM will be
approximately 5 volts. Then, the 5-volt signal input at the PCM will indicate a load on the engine.
The PCM uses the load information in mass air flow and fuel calculations.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Master Cylinder Priming - In-Vehicle or Bench
Special Tools
WARNING: Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash
hands thoroughly after handling. If brake fluid contacts eyes, flush eyes with running water for 15
minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally, drink water and induce
vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.
CAUTION: Do not allow the brake master cylinder reservoir to run dry during the bleeding
operation. Keep the brake master cylinder reservoir filled with the specified brake fluid. Never reuse
the brake fluid that has been drained from the hydraulic system.
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 any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for repair or installation of new
components, air can enter the system and cause spongy brake pedal action. This requires bleeding
of the hydraulic system after it has been properly connected. The hydraulic system can be bled
manually or with pressure bleeding equipment.
Note: When the brake master cylinder has been replaced or the system has been emptied, or
partially emptied, it should be primed to prevent air from entering the system.
1. For in-vehicle priming, disconnect the brake lines.

specification SAE J1704-DOT 4.
4. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal, or slowly depress the primary piston until clear fluid
flows from both brake tubes, without air bubbles. 5. If the brake master cylinder has been primed at
the bench, install it in the vehicle.
6. Remove the short brake tubes, and install the brake outlet tubes. 7. Bleed each brake tube at the
brake master cylinder as follows:
1 Have an assistant pump the brake pedal, and then hold firm pressure on the brake pedal.
2 Loosen the rear most brake tube fittings until a stream of brake fluid comes out. While the
assistant maintains pressure on the brake pedal, tighten the brake tube fitting.
3 Repeat this operation until clear, bubble-free fluid comes out.
4 Refill the brake master cylinder reservoir as necessary. Repeat the bleeding operation at the front
brake tube.

Brake Master Cylinder: Testing and Inspection Normal Conditions
The following conditions are considered normal and are not indications that the brake master
cylinder is in need of service.
Condition 1: During normal operation of the brake master cylinder, the fluid level in the brake
master cylinder reservoir will rise during brake application and fall during release. The net fluid level
(i.e., after brake application and release) will remain unchanged.
Condition 2: A trace of brake fluid will exist on the booster shell below the master cylinder mounting
flange. This results from the normal lubricating action of the master cylinder bore and seal.
Condition 3: Fluid level will decrease with pad wear.

Brake Master Cylinder: Testing and Inspection Compensator Port Check
The purpose of the compensator ports in the brake master cylinder is to supply any additional
brake fluid required by the system due to brake pad wear and to allow brake fluid returning from the
brake lines to the brake master cylinder to enter the brake master cylinder reservoir. The returning
brake fluid will cause a slight turbulence in the brake master cylinder reservoir. Turbulence seen in
the brake master cylinder reservoir upon application or release of the brake pedal is normal and
shows that the compensating ports are not plugged.

The power brake booster: ^
is a single diaphragm, vacuum assisted power brake booster.
^ reduces brake pedal pressure and travel distance.
^ is located on the LH side of the bulkhead in the engine compartment, between the brake pedal
and brake master cylinder.
^ is divided into separate chambers by the diaphragms.
^ will not operate if vacuum is restricted or if any of the vacuum-related power brake components
fail.
^ is replaced as an assembly.

Information > Specifications > Page 5198
Vacuum Brake Booster: Testing and Inspection
1. Check the hydraulic brake system for leaks or insufficient fluid. 2. With the transmission in
NEUTRAL, stop the engine and apply the parking brake control. Apply the brake pedal several
times to exhaust all
vacuum in the system.
3. Apply the brake pedal and hold it in the applied position. Start the engine. If the vacuum system
is operating, the brake pedal will tend to move
downward under constant foot pressure. If no motion is felt, the power brake booster system is not
functioning. Continue with the following steps.
4. Remove the vacuum booster hose from the check valve connection. Manifold vacuum must be
available at the check valve end of the vacuum
booster hose with the engine at idle speed and the transmission in NEUTRAL. If the manifold
vacuum is available to the power brake booster, connect the vacuum booster hose to the power
brake booster check valve and repeat Steps 2 and 3.
5. If no downward movement of the brake pedal is felt, install a new power brake booster. 6.
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 power brake booster
check valve and retest. If the brake pedal feels spongy, bleed the hydraulic system to remove air.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 5206
Vacuum Brake Booster Check Valve: Testing and Inspection
The function of the power brake booster check valve is to allow manifold vacuum to enter the
power brake booster and prevent the escape of vacuum in case manifold vacuum is lost during
sustained full throttle operation. To test the function of the power brake booster check valve: ^
Start and run the engine for at least 10 seconds.
^ Operate the brake pedal to check for power assist.
^ Disconnect the vacuum booster hose from the power brake booster check valve. Do not remove
the power brake booster check valve from the power brake booster.
^ There should be enough vacuum retained in the power brake booster for at least one more
power-assisted brake operation.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to include vehicles, update model years, and
include a Lock Lever Kit Application Chart.
ISSUE The current door, decklid, ignition, and stowage locks cannot be serviced individually.
Current lock repair practice is to replace the entire lock set (-22050-) when one (1) or more locks
must be replaced. The release of this TSB and associated parts will allow replacement of any
individual malfunctioning lock (i.e., door lock, ignition lock, decklid lock, etc.) instead of replacing
the entire lockset. This TSB only applies to the 8-bit locks introduced in 1996. The 10-bit lock is not
affected.
ACTION Lock service packages have been released that contain all the necessary components to
re-pin a new lock cylinder to the customer's current key code. It allows the service community to
replace the individual lock cylinder on a given vehicle rather than replace the entire lockset. For
removal and installation procedures for all lock cylinders, refer to the following Service Procedure
for details.
NOTE
MOST MODELS BUILT DURING THE 1996 MODEL YEAR HAVE BOTH THE 10-BIT AND 8-BIT
LOCKS ON THEM. CHECK THE BUILD DATE OF THE VEHICLE TO ENSURE THE USE OF
THE CORRECT STYLE OF LOCK WHEN SERVICING ANY LOCK ON A 1996 VEHICLE. THE
10-BIT LOCKS ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THIS TSB AND MUST BE SERVICED BY REPLACING
THE COMPLETE LOCK SET. THE TWO STYLES ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE.

Obtain the lock service package for the vehicle being serviced by referring to the Part Number And
Usage Chart for correct application.
Determine the matching key cut depth at each key station (any of the following three methods may
be used to determine the key cut depth at each key station).
^ Use the OEM key code provided with the vehicle and look up the cut pattern in the key code table
(the selling dealer should have the key code or the customer may be able to provide it). A key code
table comes with the Rotunda Key Cutter (011-00215).
^ Use a "key decoder" to determine each cut height. A decoder may be included with the Rotunda
Key Cutter or can be ordered separately through Rotunda (Decoder Part Number 011-RMT61).
Equivalent decoders are commonly available through the locksmith industry. A key decoder is a
plate with an elongated slot corresponding to the different key cut heights.
^ Using the customers key, measure the key cut depth at each key station using Figure 2 of the
instruction sheet contained within each lock service package.
One of the steps in building a new lock is to insert the key and verify the tumblers are flush to the
cylinder. This step is clearly spelled out in the instruction sheet. This will ensure that the lock is
rebuilt properly before it's installed in the vehicle.
Each lock service package will include a unique detailed instruction sheet on how to re-pin that
individual lock cylinder. If further assistance is needed, call Ford Motor Company toll-free at (800)
826-4694 (direct dial at (313) 248-4200) between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM ET (all U.S. and Canadian

Generator Load
The Generator Load Input (GLI) circuit is used by the PCM to determine generator load on the
engine. As generator load increases the PCM will adjust idle speed accordingly. This strategy helps
reduce idle surges due to switching high current loads. The GLI signal is sent to the PCM from the
voltage regulator/generator. The signal is a variable frequency duty cycle. Normal operating
frequency is 40 - 250 Hz. Normal signal DC voltage (referenced to ground) is between 1.5 V (low
generator load) and 10.5 V (high generator load).

Starter Relay: Description and Operation
STARTING SYSTEM
The starting system consists of the:
- starter motor.
- ignition switch.
- digital transmission range (TR) sensor.
- mini ISO relay.
Starter Motor The starter motor:
- is a permanent-magnet, gear reduction, 12V DC motor.
- has an integral starter solenoid.
Starter Relay The starter relay:
- is a mini ISO relay.
- switches power to the starter solenoid to engage the starter motor when it receives a START
signal from the ignition switch.
Normal Operation
When the digital TR sensor recognizes that the vehicle is in either PARK or NEUTRAL and the
ignition switch is placed in the START position, it sends a signal to the mini ISO relay that, in turn,
sends a voltage signal to the starter solenoid, which will engage the starter motor to crank the
engine at a speed fast enough to permit the engine to start.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Charging System > Generator <--> [Alternator] > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5278
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Charging System > Generator <--> [Alternator] > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5279
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Charging System > Generator <--> [Alternator] > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5280
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

Generator Load
The Generator Load Input (GLI) circuit is used by the PCM to determine generator load on the
engine. As generator load increases the PCM will adjust idle speed accordingly. This strategy helps
reduce idle surges due to switching high current loads. The GLI signal is sent to the PCM from the
voltage regulator/generator. The signal is a variable frequency duty cycle. Normal operating
frequency is 40 - 250 Hz. Normal signal DC voltage (referenced to ground) is between 1.5 V (low
generator load) and 10.5 V (high generator load).

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to include vehicles, update model years, and
include a Lock Lever Kit Application Chart.
ISSUE The current door, decklid, ignition, and stowage locks cannot be serviced individually.
Current lock repair practice is to replace the entire lock set (-22050-) when one (1) or more locks
must be replaced. The release of this TSB and associated parts will allow replacement of any
individual malfunctioning lock (i.e., door lock, ignition lock, decklid lock, etc.) instead of replacing
the entire lockset. This TSB only applies to the 8-bit locks introduced in 1996. The 10-bit lock is not
affected.
ACTION Lock service packages have been released that contain all the necessary components to
re-pin a new lock cylinder to the customer's current key code. It allows the service community to
replace the individual lock cylinder on a given vehicle rather than replace the entire lockset. For
removal and installation procedures for all lock cylinders, refer to the following Service Procedure
for details.
NOTE
MOST MODELS BUILT DURING THE 1996 MODEL YEAR HAVE BOTH THE 10-BIT AND 8-BIT
LOCKS ON THEM. CHECK THE BUILD DATE OF THE VEHICLE TO ENSURE THE USE OF
THE CORRECT STYLE OF LOCK WHEN SERVICING ANY LOCK ON A 1996 VEHICLE. THE
10-BIT LOCKS ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THIS TSB AND MUST BE SERVICED BY REPLACING
THE COMPLETE LOCK SET. THE TWO STYLES ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE.

^ For ignition lock concerns, see appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 11-04 or
Workshop Manual, Section 211-04.
^ Other lock concerns, see appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 01-14A or Workshop
Manual, Section 501-14.
Obtain the lock service package for the vehicle being serviced by referring to the Part Number And
Usage Chart for correct application.
Determine the matching key cut depth at each key station (any of the following three methods may
be used to determine the key cut depth at each key station).
^ Use the OEM key code provided with the vehicle and look up the cut pattern in the key code table
(the selling dealer should have the key code or the customer may be able to provide it). A key code
table comes with the Rotunda Key Cutter (011-00215).
^ Use a "key decoder" to determine each cut height. A decoder may be included with the Rotunda
Key Cutter or can be ordered separately through Rotunda (Decoder Part Number 011-RMT61).
Equivalent decoders are commonly available through the locksmith industry. A key decoder is a
plate with an elongated slot corresponding to the different key cut heights.
^ Using the customers key, measure the key cut depth at each key station using Figure 2 of the
instruction sheet contained within each lock service package.
One of the steps in building a new lock is to insert the key and verify the tumblers are flush to the
cylinder. This step is clearly spelled out in the instruction sheet. This will ensure that the lock is
rebuilt properly before it's installed in the vehicle.
Each lock service package will include a unique detailed instruction sheet on how to re-pin that
individual lock cylinder. If further assistance is needed, call Ford Motor Company toll-free at (800)
826-4694 (direct dial at (313) 248-4200) between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM ET (all U.S. and Canadian
dealers only).
For technical questions regarding the lock service pack re-pinning process, call Ford Interior
Systems at (313) 337-3041.
A special service tool is required to properly install (crimp) the round dust covers on the door lock
cylinder. This special service tool has been provided through a special mailing to all North
American servicing dealers. If additional tools are required, contact Rotunda Tools at (800)
768-8632 (direct dial at (810) 574-2332, ask for OTC order desk) to purchase a new tool
(501-O51A).
NOTE
THE SPECIAL SERVICE TOOL (501-051A) IS NOW COMPATIBLE WITH TAURUS/SABLE
DOOR LOCK CYLINDER ROUND DUST COVERS.

Starter Relay: Description and Operation
STARTING SYSTEM
The starting system consists of the:
- starter motor.
- ignition switch.
- digital transmission range (TR) sensor.
- mini ISO relay.
Starter Motor The starter motor:
- is a permanent-magnet, gear reduction, 12V DC motor.
- has an integral starter solenoid.
Starter Relay The starter relay:
- is a mini ISO relay.
- switches power to the starter solenoid to engage the starter motor when it receives a START
signal from the ignition switch.
Normal Operation
When the digital TR sensor recognizes that the vehicle is in either PARK or NEUTRAL and the
ignition switch is placed in the START position, it sends a signal to the mini ISO relay that, in turn,
sends a voltage signal to the starter solenoid, which will engage the starter motor to crank the
engine at a speed fast enough to permit the engine to start.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Electrical Accessory Panel >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5361
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Electrical Accessory Panel >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5362
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Electrical Accessory Panel >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5363
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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
A "whining"/"buzzing" noise in the speakers of the entertainment radio or two-way radio on vehicles
with an in-tank electric fuel pump may be caused by electrical noise from the fuel pump.
ACTION
Install an electronic noise Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) Filter (F1PZ-18B925-A) on the fuel
pump inside the fuel tank. Refer to the following Test Procedure to confirm that the concern exists,
then refer to the Service Procedure for repair details.

> 02 > Audio System - Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 5375
NOTE
IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRONIC RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEM, DO NOT INSTALL A
RFI FILTER INLINE TO THE FUEL PUMP . ONLY VEHICLES WITH MECHANICAL
RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEMS (PRESSURE REGULATOR IN THE TANK), OR SYSTEMS
WITH THE PRESSURE REGULATOR ON THE FUEL RAIL SHOULD BE APPROVED FOR THE
RFI FILTER INSTALLATION.
NOTE
SOME LIGHT TRUCKS REQUIRE ONE (1) RFI FILTER FOR EACH IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL
PUMP ON MULTI-TANK VEHICLES.
NOTE
THIS TSB DOES NOT INCLUDE TAURUS FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES (FFVS) OR 1999
RANGER 3.0L FFVS.
TEST PROCEDURE
Fuel pump radio noise is relatively constant and changes only slightly with vehicle speed. If the
frequency of the noise varies or the noise comes and goes with the vehicle speed, then it is not the
fuel pump and this fix will not be effective. The following procedure will help determine if the fuel
pump is the cause of the radio noise:
1. Turn on the radio before the key is turned on (assuming the radio will operate without the ignition
key - you may need to put the ignition key in the Accessory position).
2. Turn the ignition key to the Run position (do not start the engine).
3. The fuel pump should run for about 1 second with the key in the Run position with the engine not
running. Listen for noise in the radio. If noise is present while the pump is running and stops when
the pump stops, then the noise is being generated by the pump and this procedure should help.

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

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5412
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5413
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5414
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5438
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5439
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5440
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

ACTION
REPAIR VS REPLACEMENT
The approved procedure is to repair wiring harnesses with pigtail kits, wire terminals, or hard shell
connectors when available. The only exceptions to this procedure are when:
^ The repair cost exceeds the cost to replace the wiring harness
^ There are no component parts released to service the wiring harness
RESTRAINTS RELATED WIRING REPAIRS
If restraints connectors or wiring circuits are contained in a stand-alone harness, do not repair
them; replace the restraints harness unless directed to repair the circuit by a TSB or other Ford
Motor Company publication.
If restraints connectors or wiring circuits are contained in the main vehicle wiring harnesses (14401,
14A005, etc.), they should be repaired using the solder and heat-shrink repair procedure specified
in this TSB. The General Wire Terminal Repair Kit contains gold plated terminated pigtails (with
white insulation) and dual wall heat shrink tubing to perform these repairs. Loaded wiring pigtail kits
with gold plated terminals are also available in the parts catalog.

taking care not to nick or cut wire strands (Figure 3). Pull wire straight from stripper. If wire is pulled
at an angle, wire strands may be cut off. If more than one (1) strand is cut off during stripping, cut
off the end and re-strip.
2. Install heat shrink tubing at least 1" (26 mm) away from one of the stripped ends being spliced.
Twist wires together. Solder wires together (Figure 4).
NOTE
USE ROSIN CORE MILDLY ACTIVATED (RMS) SOLDER. DO NOT USE ACID CORE SOLDER
FOR WIRE REPAIR.
3. Bend Wire # 1 back in a straight line for sealing (Figure 4). Inspect solder joint bond.
NOTE
WAIT FOR SOLDER TO COOL BEFORE MOVING WIRES.

4. Evenly position heat shrink tubing over wire repair (Figure 5).
NOTE
OVERLAP TUBING ON BOTH WIRES.
5. Use a shielded heat gun to heat the entire length of the heat shrink tubing until the hot melt
appears from both ends of the tubing. Durability of a heat shrink tubing splice is dependent on the
hot melt that will appear from both ends of the tube. The hot melt forms an adhesive seal between
the wire insulation and the heat shrink tubing, which prevents air and moisture from entering the
solder point (Figure 5).
For 14 AGW and Larger Diameter Wire (Excluding Restraints Wiring Repairs)
1. Strip 1/4" (6.35 mm) of insulation from pigtail wire end once the wire lengths are sized so repairs
can be staggered. Take care not to nick or cut wire strands. Pull wire straight from stripper. If wire
is pulled at an angle, wire strands may be cut off. If more than one (1) strand is cut off during
stripping, cut off the end and re-strip.

NOTE
THE STRIP LENGTH WILL VARY DEPENDING ON THE BUTT SPLICE AND WIRE IN
HARNESS. LONGER STRIP LENGTHS ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE WIRE NEEDS TO BE
FOLDED TO MATE WITH THE BUTT SPLICE. REFER TO FIGURE 10 CHART FOR STRIP
LENGTHS AND FOLDING TECHNIQUES.
2. Slide heat shrink tubing onto one (1) of the wire ends to be crimped, must be at least 1" (25.4
mm) away from stripped end (Figure 6).

3. Identify the appropriate crimping chamber of the Rotunda 164-R5901 Pro-Crimper (or
equivalent) by matching the wire size on the dies with the wire size stamped on the butt splice
(Figure 7). Hold the crimping tool so the identified wire sizes are facing you. Squeeze tool handles
together until the ratchet releases, then allow the jaws of the tool to open fully.
4. Center one (1) end of the butt splice on the appropriate crimping chamber. If visible, be sure to
place the brazed seam of the butt splice toward the indenter (Figure 8).
5. Hold the butt splice in place and squeeze the tool handles together until the ratchet engages
sufficiently to hold the butt splice in position (typically one (1) or two (2) clicks). DO NOT deform the
butt splice.

6. Insert stripped wire into the buff splice, making sure the insulation on wire does not enter the butt
splice (Figure 8).
7. Holding the wire in place, squeeze tool handles together until ratchet releases. Allow tool
handles to open, then remove crimped butt splice.
8. To crimp the other half of the splice, reposition the un-crimped wire barrel in the same crimping
chamber, and repeat Steps 3-8. If splice cannot be turned for crimping the other half, turn the tool
around.
9. Check for acceptable crimp.
a. Crimp should be centered on each end of the butt splice. It is acceptable for crimp to be slightly
off center, but not off the end of the buff splice (Figure 9-a).
b. Wire insulation does not enter butt splice. Wire is flush with or extends slightly beyond end of
buff splice (Figure 9-b).
c. Wire is visible through inspection hole of splices (Figure 9-c).
10. Evenly position heat shrink tubing over wire repair (Figure 5).
NOTE
OVERLAP TUBING ON BOTH WIRES.
11. Use a shielded heat gun to heat the entire length of the heat shrink tubing until the hot melt
appears from both ends of the tubing. Durability of a heat shrink tubing splice is dependent on the
hot melt that will appear from both ends of the tube. The hot melt forms an adhesive seal between
the wire insulation and the heat shrink tubing, which prevents air and moisture from entering the
solder point (Figure 5).

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Electrical Accessory Panel > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5558
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Electrical Accessory Panel > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5559
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Electrical Accessory Panel > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5560
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

TSB 01-7-3 is being republished in its entirety to update the model year coverage and vehicle line
coverage.
ISSUE
A "whining"/"buzzing" noise in the speakers of the entertainment radio or two-way radio on vehicles
with an in-tank electric fuel pump may be caused by electrical noise from the fuel pump.
ACTION
Install an electronic noise Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) Filter (F1PZ-18B925-A) on the fuel
pump inside the fuel tank. Refer to the following Test Procedure to confirm that the concern exists,
then refer to the Service Procedure for repair details.
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Electronic Noise Suppressor > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest for Electronic Noise Suppressor: > 02-16-4 > Aug > 02 > Audio System Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 5572
NOTE
IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRONIC RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEM, DO NOT INSTALL A
RFI FILTER INLINE TO THE FUEL PUMP . ONLY VEHICLES WITH MECHANICAL
RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEMS (PRESSURE REGULATOR IN THE TANK), OR SYSTEMS
WITH THE PRESSURE REGULATOR ON THE FUEL RAIL SHOULD BE APPROVED FOR THE
RFI FILTER INSTALLATION.
NOTE
SOME LIGHT TRUCKS REQUIRE ONE (1) RFI FILTER FOR EACH IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL
PUMP ON MULTI-TANK VEHICLES.
NOTE
THIS TSB DOES NOT INCLUDE TAURUS FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES (FFVS) OR 1999
RANGER 3.0L FFVS.
TEST PROCEDURE
Fuel pump radio noise is relatively constant and changes only slightly with vehicle speed. If the
frequency of the noise varies or the noise comes and goes with the vehicle speed, then it is not the
fuel pump and this fix will not be effective. The following procedure will help determine if the fuel
pump is the cause of the radio noise:
1. Turn on the radio before the key is turned on (assuming the radio will operate without the ignition
key - you may need to put the ignition key in the Accessory position).
2. Turn the ignition key to the Run position (do not start the engine).
3. The fuel pump should run for about 1 second with the key in the Run position with the engine not
running. Listen for noise in the radio. If noise is present while the pump is running and stops when
the pump stops, then the noise is being generated by the pump and this procedure should help.

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

System - Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 5585
NOTE
IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRONIC RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEM, DO NOT INSTALL A
RFI FILTER INLINE TO THE FUEL PUMP . ONLY VEHICLES WITH MECHANICAL
RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEMS (PRESSURE REGULATOR IN THE TANK), OR SYSTEMS
WITH THE PRESSURE REGULATOR ON THE FUEL RAIL SHOULD BE APPROVED FOR THE
RFI FILTER INSTALLATION.
NOTE
SOME LIGHT TRUCKS REQUIRE ONE (1) RFI FILTER FOR EACH IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL
PUMP ON MULTI-TANK VEHICLES.
NOTE
THIS TSB DOES NOT INCLUDE TAURUS FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES (FFVS) OR 1999
RANGER 3.0L FFVS.
TEST PROCEDURE
Fuel pump radio noise is relatively constant and changes only slightly with vehicle speed. If the
frequency of the noise varies or the noise comes and goes with the vehicle speed, then it is not the
fuel pump and this fix will not be effective. The following procedure will help determine if the fuel
pump is the cause of the radio noise:
1. Turn on the radio before the key is turned on (assuming the radio will operate without the ignition
key - you may need to put the ignition key in the Accessory position).
2. Turn the ignition key to the Run position (do not start the engine).
3. The fuel pump should run for about 1 second with the key in the Run position with the engine not
running. Listen for noise in the radio. If noise is present while the pump is running and stops when
the pump stops, then the noise is being generated by the pump and this procedure should help.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 5609
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

Information and Instructions > Page 5610
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 5611
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 5635
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.

just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.

ACTION
REPAIR VS REPLACEMENT
The approved procedure is to repair wiring harnesses with pigtail kits, wire terminals, or hard shell
connectors when available. The only exceptions to this procedure are when:
^ The repair cost exceeds the cost to replace the wiring harness
^ There are no component parts released to service the wiring harness
RESTRAINTS RELATED WIRING REPAIRS
If restraints connectors or wiring circuits are contained in a stand-alone harness, do not repair
them; replace the restraints harness unless directed to repair the circuit by a TSB or other Ford
Motor Company publication.
If restraints connectors or wiring circuits are contained in the main vehicle wiring harnesses (14401,
14A005, etc.), they should be repaired using the solder and heat-shrink repair procedure specified
in this TSB. The General Wire Terminal Repair Kit contains gold plated terminated pigtails (with
white insulation) and dual wall heat shrink tubing to perform these repairs. Loaded wiring pigtail kits
with gold plated terminals are also available in the parts catalog.

Service Tips
Refer to applicable model year wiring diagrams for circuit information.
Twisted Wire Circuits
For "Twisted Wire" circuit repair (Figure 1), the twisting must not be disrupted for more than 2" (51
mm) Twist the repaired wires in the same direction and with the same general twist rate as the
original wiring. Reapply the shielding on shielded circuits.
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Wiring Harness > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Electrical - Wiring Soldering/Crimping Service Tips > Page 5729
Stagger the repairs to minimize harness diameter and maintain harness length (Figure 2).
Any leads that are not going to be used need to be sealed with dual wall heat shrink and stowed
(Figure 2). Silicone must not be used.
Excess wire from the harness can be folded back on itself to maintain the harness length.
Reapply any convolute and tape that was removed to make the repair.
For 16 AGW and Smaller Diameter Wire

Bulletins > Electrical - Wiring Soldering/Crimping Service Tips > Page 5730
1. Strip 1-1/2" (37.2 mm) of insulation from Wire # 1 and 3/4" (19.5 mm) of insulation from Wire # 2,
taking care not to nick or cut wire strands (Figure 3). Pull wire straight from stripper. If wire is pulled
at an angle, wire strands may be cut off. If more than one (1) strand is cut off during stripping, cut
off the end and re-strip.
2. Install heat shrink tubing at least 1" (26 mm) away from one of the stripped ends being spliced.
Twist wires together. Solder wires together (Figure 4).
NOTE
USE ROSIN CORE MILDLY ACTIVATED (RMS) SOLDER. DO NOT USE ACID CORE SOLDER
FOR WIRE REPAIR.
3. Bend Wire # 1 back in a straight line for sealing (Figure 4). Inspect solder joint bond.
NOTE
WAIT FOR SOLDER TO COOL BEFORE MOVING WIRES.

4. Evenly position heat shrink tubing over wire repair (Figure 5).
NOTE
OVERLAP TUBING ON BOTH WIRES.
5. Use a shielded heat gun to heat the entire length of the heat shrink tubing until the hot melt
appears from both ends of the tubing. Durability of a heat shrink tubing splice is dependent on the
hot melt that will appear from both ends of the tube. The hot melt forms an adhesive seal between
the wire insulation and the heat shrink tubing, which prevents air and moisture from entering the
solder point (Figure 5).
For 14 AGW and Larger Diameter Wire (Excluding Restraints Wiring Repairs)
1. Strip 1/4" (6.35 mm) of insulation from pigtail wire end once the wire lengths are sized so repairs
can be staggered. Take care not to nick or cut wire strands. Pull wire straight from stripper. If wire
is pulled at an angle, wire strands may be cut off. If more than one (1) strand is cut off during
stripping, cut off the end and re-strip.

NOTE
THE STRIP LENGTH WILL VARY DEPENDING ON THE BUTT SPLICE AND WIRE IN
HARNESS. LONGER STRIP LENGTHS ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE WIRE NEEDS TO BE
FOLDED TO MATE WITH THE BUTT SPLICE. REFER TO FIGURE 10 CHART FOR STRIP
LENGTHS AND FOLDING TECHNIQUES.
2. Slide heat shrink tubing onto one (1) of the wire ends to be crimped, must be at least 1" (25.4
mm) away from stripped end (Figure 6).

3. Identify the appropriate crimping chamber of the Rotunda 164-R5901 Pro-Crimper (or
equivalent) by matching the wire size on the dies with the wire size stamped on the butt splice
(Figure 7). Hold the crimping tool so the identified wire sizes are facing you. Squeeze tool handles
together until the ratchet releases, then allow the jaws of the tool to open fully.
4. Center one (1) end of the butt splice on the appropriate crimping chamber. If visible, be sure to
place the brazed seam of the butt splice toward the indenter (Figure 8).
5. Hold the butt splice in place and squeeze the tool handles together until the ratchet engages
sufficiently to hold the butt splice in position (typically one (1) or two (2) clicks). DO NOT deform the
butt splice.

Bulletins > Electrical - Wiring Soldering/Crimping Service Tips > Page 5736
6. Insert stripped wire into the buff splice, making sure the insulation on wire does not enter the butt
splice (Figure 8).
7. Holding the wire in place, squeeze tool handles together until ratchet releases. Allow tool
handles to open, then remove crimped butt splice.
8. To crimp the other half of the splice, reposition the un-crimped wire barrel in the same crimping
chamber, and repeat Steps 3-8. If splice cannot be turned for crimping the other half, turn the tool
around.
9. Check for acceptable crimp.
a. Crimp should be centered on each end of the butt splice. It is acceptable for crimp to be slightly
off center, but not off the end of the buff splice (Figure 9-a).
b. Wire insulation does not enter butt splice. Wire is flush with or extends slightly beyond end of
buff splice (Figure 9-b).
c. Wire is visible through inspection hole of splices (Figure 9-c).
10. Evenly position heat shrink tubing over wire repair (Figure 5).
NOTE
OVERLAP TUBING ON BOTH WIRES.
11. Use a shielded heat gun to heat the entire length of the heat shrink tubing until the hot melt
appears from both ends of the tubing. Durability of a heat shrink tubing splice is dependent on the
hot melt that will appear from both ends of the tube. The hot melt forms an adhesive seal between
the wire insulation and the heat shrink tubing, which prevents air and moisture from entering the
solder point (Figure 5).

General Information
Wheel Alignment Angles
^ Camber and caster are adjusted by means of two adjustment cams located on each upper control
arm. Toe is adjusted by the use of the front wheel spindle tie rod adjusting sleeve.
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.
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.
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° of steering wheel turn). Efforts may be said to be "flat on center." ^
Under 20° 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.
Poor Returnability/Sticky Steering
Poor returnability and sticky steering is used to describe the poor return of the steering wheel to
center after a turn or the steering correction is completed.
Ride Height
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Description and Operation >
Camber > Page 5748
On vehicles equipped with an air suspension system, the vehicle ride height can only be measured
accurately after the accurate trim test has been executed using a scan tool.
Shimmy
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.

Suspension Control Module: Description and Operation
A microprocessor controls the air suspension system. The microprocessor and its supporting
hardware are contained in the air suspension control module. The air suspension control module
responds to signals from various sensors in the vehicle to maintain the programmed ride height
while the vehicle is either moving or stopped. The air suspension control module accomplishes this
by opening and closing solenoid valves to control the amount of air in the air spring(s). The air
suspension control module turns on the compressor by applying voltage through the compressor
relay to inflate the air spring(s) and raise the vehicle. The air suspension control module opens the
vent solenoid to lower the vehicle by releasing air from the air spring(s)in response to signal inputs
from the air suspension height sensor(s).

Power Steering Pressure Switch
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
The Power Steering Pressure (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 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 transmission Electronic Pressure Control (EPC)
pressure during the increased engine load, for example during parking maneuvers.

ISSUE The Workshop Manuals for 1998-2000 Crown Victoria/Grand Marquis and Town Car do not
contain a procedure for inspecting the pitman arm ball joint for wear.
ACTION The pitman arm ball joint on 1998-2000 Crown Victoria/Grand Marquis and Town Car
vehicles can be inspected by referring to the following Inspection Procedure.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Raise vehicle on hoist.
2. Visually inspect the pitman arm ball joint seal. If it is cut or torn, replace the pitman arm (refer to
the appropriate Workshop Manual for pitman arm service procedure).
3. Pull down on the centerlink to take any play out of the pitman arm ball joint. Measure the
distance from the top of the pitman arm forging to the bottom of the centerlink using digital calipers.
Attach a C-clamp between the top of the pitman arm ball joint socket and the pitman arm ball stud.
Tighten the C-clamp to fully compress the ball joint and measure from the top of the pitman arm
forging to the bottom of the centerlink again. Subtract the second measurement from the first to get
the total movement.
4. If more than 2.78 mm (0.110") movement is measured, replace the pitman arm (refer to the
appropriate Workshop Manual for service procedure).
5. The nut attaching the pitman arm to the centerlink can be reused.

Power Steering Pressure Switch: Description and Operation
Power Steering Pressure Switch
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
The Power Steering Pressure (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 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 transmission Electronic Pressure Control (EPC)
pressure during the increased engine load, for example during parking maneuvers.

Depowering and Repowering
Supplemental Restraint System ( SRS ) Depowering and Repowering
Depowering Procedure
Warning: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system
(SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event
of an accidental deployment.
Warning: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag
deployment, which can result in personal injury.
Warning: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
Note: The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the ECS fuse is removed and the ignition switch
is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
Note: 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 LH side of the instrument panel, remove the cover and the electronic
crash sensor (ECS)
module fuses F18 (10A) and F10 (10A) from the CJB. For additional information, refer to the Wiring
Diagram Manual.
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.
Warning: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply
must be depleted before repairing or replacing any front or side air bag supplemental restraint
system (SRS) components and before servicing, replacing, adjusting or striking components near
the front air bag sensor, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and
hood latches.
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least
one minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).
6. Disconnect the battery ground cable (14301) and wait at least one minute.
Repowering Procedure
Warning: The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only. Remove from
vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle
safety standards.
1. Make sure all restraint system diagnostic tool(s) that may have been installed during the repair
have been removed from the vehicle and all SRS
components are connected.
2. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON. 3. Install the ECS module fuses F18 (10A) and F10
(10A) to the CJB and install the cover.
Warning: Be sure that nobody is in the vehicle and that there is nothing blocking or set in front of
any air bag module when the battery ground cable is connected.
4. Connect the battery ground cable. 5. Prove out the supplemental restraint system (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 six seconds and then turn off. If an air bag
supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault is present, the air bag indicator will either: 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 electronic crash sensor
(ECS) module 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 five sets of five beeps. If this occurs, the air bag
indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired. Clear all continuous
DTCs from the restraints control module using a scan tool.

Steering Wheel: Service and Repair
Service Precautions
WARNING: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event
of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover pointed away from your
body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: Do not set a live air bag module down with the trim cover face down. This will reduce
the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a
product of the gas generant combustion that is irritating to the skin. Wash your hands with soap
and water afterwards.
WARNING: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag
deployment, which can result in personal injury.
WARNING: Air bag modules with discolored or damaged trim covers must be replaced, not
repainted.
WARNING: Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for proper system operation. If a vehicle equipped
with an air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is involved in a collision, inspect the sensor
mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. Replace and properly position the sensor or
any other damaged Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components whether or not the air bag
is deployed.
WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply
must be depleted before repairing or replacing any front or side air bag Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) components and before servicing, replacing, adjusting or striking components near
the front or side air bag sensors, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers,
seats and hood latches. The side air bag sensors are located at or near the base of the B-pillar. To
deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one
minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).
Removal
1. Note: Make sure the wheels are in the straight-ahead position.
Disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute. ^
Disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute.

Suspension Control Module: Description and Operation
A microprocessor controls the air suspension system. The microprocessor and its supporting
hardware are contained in the air suspension control module. The air suspension control module
responds to signals from various sensors in the vehicle to maintain the programmed ride height
while the vehicle is either moving or stopped. The air suspension control module accomplishes this
by opening and closing solenoid valves to control the amount of air in the air spring(s). The air
suspension control module turns on the compressor by applying voltage through the compressor
relay to inflate the air spring(s) and raise the vehicle. The air suspension control module opens the
vent solenoid to lower the vehicle by releasing air from the air spring(s)in response to signal inputs
from the air suspension height sensor(s).

Suspension Control Module: Description and Operation
A microprocessor controls the air suspension system. The microprocessor and its supporting
hardware are contained in the air suspension control module. The air suspension control module
responds to signals from various sensors in the vehicle to maintain the programmed ride height
while the vehicle is either moving or stopped. The air suspension control module accomplishes this
by opening and closing solenoid valves to control the amount of air in the air spring(s). The air
suspension control module turns on the compressor by applying voltage through the compressor
relay to inflate the air spring(s) and raise the vehicle. The air suspension control module opens the
vent solenoid to lower the vehicle by releasing air from the air spring(s)in response to signal inputs
from the air suspension height sensor(s).

Removal
WARNING: All vehicles are equipped with gas pressurized shock absorbers which will extend
unassisted. Do not apply heat or flame to the shock absorbers during removal or component
servicing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury.
CAUTION: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect the performance of vital
components and their failure can result in major service expense. They must be replaced with the
same part number or an equivalent part if replacement is necessary. Do not use a replacement part
of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly
to ensure proper retention of these parts.
Vehicles Equipped With Air Suspension
1. WARNING: The electrical power to the air suspension system must be turned off prior to
hoisting, jacking or towing an air suspension
vehicle. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can
result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
Turn the air suspension service switch off.

ISSUE The purpose of this bulletin is to provide guidance when using tire/wheel assembly road
force measurement equipment such as the Hunter GSP97OO. This bulletin is authored and
endorsed by Hunter, Michelin, Goodyear, Continental/General, Hankook, Bridgestone/Firestone
and Pirelli. Items addressed are software upgrades, road test (exercise tires), assembly center
verification and warranty restrictions.
This type of equipment can be a valuable tool to improve customer satisfaction when used as a
vibration repair tool. This type of equipment can also provide a high level of customer satisfaction
when used as an assembly too! when the customer has purchased new wheels/tires in the
"Around-the-Wheel" program.
ACTION The Hunter GSP9700/9712 road force measurement tool is NOT to be used for
determining if a tire or wheel meets a specification. It can be used as a service diagnostic tool to
minimize road force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. The tool such as the Hunter GSP97OO
can approximate the low point of the "'1heel and the high point of the tire. This allows the tire to be
matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly road force variation. This will
minimize the contribution to vibration from the tire/wheel assembly.

1. Check the inflation pressure of all four tires and adjust to the vehicle manufacturers
recommended pressure. The vehicle manufacturers recommended tire pressure for the original
equipment tires can be found on the drivers side door placard.
2. Road test the vehicle on a smooth road for a minimum of 10 miles. Performance of the road test
at highway speeds is preferred.
NOTE
THIS MUST BE PERFORMED TO "EXERCISE" THE TIRES AND ELIMINATE "COLD" FLAT
SPOTTING THAT OCCURS DUE TO SHORT-PERIOD VEHICLE STORAGE OR PARKING. IF
THE VEHICLE'S TIRES ARE NOT EXERCISED FIRST, ACCURACY OF THE ROAD FORCE
MEASUREMENTS CAN VARY SIGNIFICANTLY, EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED/STORED
IN ONE LOCATION FOR ONLY A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME (E.G. 20 MINUTES).
3. Perform the road force measurement IMMEDIATELY after exercising the tires. If the road force
measurement cannot be performed immediately, lift all four tires off the ground with a hoist or jack
stands to prevent measurement errors due to further flat spotting.
4. Assembly centering verification MUST be performed and PASSED prior to any road force
measurement.
For those with a software version other than 2.1 the centering verification must be performed
manually.
a. Spin assembly to measure. Record the assembly R1H.
b. Loosen wing-nut.
c. Rotate and reposition assembly and cone/adapter to a different mounting location (180 degrees).
d. Tighten wing-nut.
e. Re-spin to measure. Record the assembly R1H.
f. Compare results obtained in STEP a with those obtained in STEP e.
g. If the difference in assembly R1H measurements is less than 5 lbs., the assembly centering
verification PASSES and technician can proceed to the measurement/repair process. If the
centering verification FAILS proceed to STEP h.
h. The following items may contribute to an assembly centering verification FAILURE.
^ Cone/adapter does not fit properly or is incorrect for the application
^ The wheel mounting surface is damaged
5. For those with software version 2.1 the following procedure will lead the technician through a
Centering Check.
a. From the balance mode screen press the center SHIFT KEY ONCE (i.e. has two green arrows).
b. Push the "K1" button to select Perform Centering Check.
c. Follow the instructions.
d. If Centering Check PASSES proceed to the measurement/repair process. If the Centering Check
fails proceed to step e.

ISSUE
Under normal operating conditions, customers may notice accumulation of brake dust on their
wheels. Some brake dust is inevitable as brakes wear and does not contribute to brake noise. The
use of modern friction materials with emphasis on improved performance and environmental
considerations can lead to more dust than in the past.
ACTION
Brake dust can be cleaned by weekly washing with Motorcraft Detail Wash (ZC-3-A) and a soft
sponge. Heavier deposits can be removed with Motorcraft Wheel and Tire Cleaner (ZC-37-A).

ISSUE The purpose of this bulletin is to provide guidance when using tire/wheel assembly road
force measurement equipment such as the Hunter GSP97OO. This bulletin is authored and
endorsed by Hunter, Michelin, Goodyear, Continental/General, Hankook, Bridgestone/Firestone
and Pirelli. Items addressed are software upgrades, road test (exercise tires), assembly center
verification and warranty restrictions.
This type of equipment can be a valuable tool to improve customer satisfaction when used as a
vibration repair tool. This type of equipment can also provide a high level of customer satisfaction
when used as an assembly too! when the customer has purchased new wheels/tires in the
"Around-the-Wheel" program.
ACTION The Hunter GSP9700/9712 road force measurement tool is NOT to be used for
determining if a tire or wheel meets a specification. It can be used as a service diagnostic tool to
minimize road force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. The tool such as the Hunter GSP97OO
can approximate the low point of the "'1heel and the high point of the tire. This allows the tire to be
matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly road force variation. This will
minimize the contribution to vibration from the tire/wheel assembly.

THE VEHICLE'S TIRES ARE NOT EXERCISED FIRST, ACCURACY OF THE ROAD FORCE
MEASUREMENTS CAN VARY SIGNIFICANTLY, EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED/STORED
IN ONE LOCATION FOR ONLY A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME (E.G. 20 MINUTES).
3. Perform the road force measurement IMMEDIATELY after exercising the tires. If the road force
measurement cannot be performed immediately, lift all four tires off the ground with a hoist or jack
stands to prevent measurement errors due to further flat spotting.
4. Assembly centering verification MUST be performed and PASSED prior to any road force
measurement.
For those with a software version other than 2.1 the centering verification must be performed
manually.
a. Spin assembly to measure. Record the assembly R1H.

f. Compare results obtained in STEP a with those obtained in STEP e.
g. If the difference in assembly R1H measurements is less than 5 lbs., the assembly centering
verification PASSES and technician can proceed to the measurement/repair process. If the
centering verification FAILS proceed to STEP h.
h. The following items may contribute to an assembly centering verification FAILURE.
^ Cone/adapter does not fit properly or is incorrect for the application
^ The wheel mounting surface is damaged
5. For those with software version 2.1 the following procedure will lead the technician through a
Centering Check.
a. From the balance mode screen press the center SHIFT KEY ONCE (i.e. has two green arrows).
b. Push the "K1" button to select Perform Centering Check.
c. Follow the instructions.

ISSUE Some 2000 model year Police Interceptors produced from 1/1/2000 through 8/14/2000 may
have repeat issues with tire balance. This may be caused by tire slippage on the rim.
ACTION Check for tire slippage on the rim using the following Service Procedure and if necessary,
refer the customer to a Goodyear Service Center for tire service.
SERVICE PROCEDURE Use the following procedure to test for tire slippage on the wheel.
1. Mark the tire and wheel for a reference location.
2. Conduct three (3) 80-0 km/h (50-0 mph) full stops with 1 kilometer (1 mile) cool down in between
each run.
3. Inspect for slippage between the tire and wheel at the reference location.
If no tire slippage is evident, balance the tires following the 2000 Crown Victoria Workshop Manual
procedures.
If tire slippage is evident, refer the customer to their local Goodyear Service Center for service.
Goodyear has issued a Product Service Bulletin (PSB # 2000-48) which identifies the procedures
to use to correct the issue.

Wheels: Service and Repair Wheel Leaks
WARNING: Wheel repairs that use welding or peening are not approved. An inner tube is not an
acceptable repair for leaking wheels or tires. If the air pressure in a tire mounted on an aluminum
wheel is found to be low, perform the following procedure before considering installation of a new
wheel.
1. Remove the tire and wheel assembly, and inspect the wheel for structural damage. If none
exists, go to Step 2. If the wheel is damaged, install a
new wheel.
2. With the tire mounted on the wheel, locate the air leak using a water bath or equivalent method,
and mark the location. Check the complete wheel
for possible additional leaks. When leaks are marked, dismount the tire marking valve location on
the tire for correct indexing.
3. On the tire side of the wheel, thoroughly clean the leaking area with an appropriate cleaner
(Professional Choke and Linkage Cleaner
E8AZ-19A501-AA or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESR-M14PI0-A) or use sandpaper of
approximately 80-grit to remove all contamination. Using the sandpaper, score the surface of the
leaking area to improve adhesion of the sealer. If the valve stem is close to the area, remove it.
4. Use a clean cloth to remove all cleaner or sanding dust.
5. Note: Do not use a torch containing oxyacetylene.
Heat the prepared area with a Heat Gun or a propane torch until Aluminum Wheel Repair
Compound E7AZ-19554-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESA-M4G280-A flows. Apply
the hot melt material over the prepared area using a liberal flow and wiping action. Repair is most
effective when heat is applied to the brake side of the rim, and the sealer is melted by heat in the
metal.
6. Apply only enough heat to melt the sealer, then remove the heat source. After repairing the leak,
allow the wheel to cool until it can be handled
safety.
7. CAUTION: Use caution when mounting the tire so as not to damage the sealer.
Index and assemble the tire and wheel. Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure as indicated
on the tire pressure decal.
8. Repeat Step 2 to verify repair. 9. When the repair is completed, balance the assembly and install
it on the vehicle.

CAUTION:
- To prevent damage to the fitting and the tube, use a backup wrench when removing the suction
accumulator/drier.

Accumulator HVAC: Description and Operation
NOTE: Installation of a new suction accumulator/drier is not required when repairing the air
conditioning system except when there is physical evidence of system contamination from a failed
A/C compressor or damage to the suction accumulator/drier.
The suction accumulator/drier is mounted to the right of the vehicle centerline. The inlet tube of the
suction accumulator/drier attaches directly to the A/C evaporator core outlet tube and the outlet
tube of the suction accumulator/drier attaches to the evaporator to compressor suction line.
After entering the inlet of the suction accumulator/drier, 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 tube 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.
- A fitting located on the side of the suction accumulator/drier is used to mount a serviceable
low-pressure A/C charge port valve.

Air Door Actuator / Motor: Description and Operation Blend Door Motor
With Electronic Automatic Temperature Control
The A/C electronic blend door actuator is located on the top of the plenum housing.
- Its function is to move the air temperature blend door on command from the control assembly.
- The A/C electronic blend door actuator contains a reversible electric motor and a potentiometer.
The potentiometer wiper is connected to the actuator output shaft and moves with the output shaft
to indicate the position of the air temperature blend door.
- A 5 volt signal is applied to the ends of the potentiometer. The voltage available at the wiper
indicates the position of the potentiometer. The expressed value of the actuator wiper voltage is
sent to the electronic automatic temperature control module and is matched with the wiper voltage
of the module potentiometer. The control module then drives the actuator motor in the direction
necessary to make the actuator wiper voltage agree with the control module wiper voltage.
With Manual A/C
The Electronic Blend Door Actuator for the manual A/C system function is similar to the EATC
system, except that the temperature potentiometer is controlled by the knob located in the center of
the A/C manual control.

ISSUE On some vehicles equipped with Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC), there
may be concerns where the blower motor may stay on high after desired temperature is reached,
where temperature control does not maintain setpoint, and/or where the temperature gradually
wanders away from the setpoint.
ACTION Refer to the following Service Procedure to aid in normal diagnostics of the EATC system.
OTHER APPLICABLE ARTICLES: NONE WARRANTY STATUS: INFORMATION ONLY OASIS
CODES: 208000, 208100, 208200, 208300, 208999
Service Procedure
If no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are obtained during the EATC/DATC module self-test, refer
to the following diagnostic Service Procedure.
1. Inspect the in-car temperature sensor aspirator hose for proper connections at both ends.
2. Inspect the aspirator hose for kinks or cuts.
3. On applicable vehicles, verify that the in-car temperature sensor is attached and firmly seated to
the dash panel. Some vehicles mount the sensor on two pins located on the dash panel. The
sensor may be mounted onto the pins loosely and not seated firmly against the dash panel,
causing a gap in the sensor-to-dash panel seal and allowing warm air from behind the instrument
panel to be drawn across the sensor.
4. Explorer/Mountaineer Only: Check the mounting fasteners to verify that the gap in the fastener is
facing horizontally (i.e., at 3 or 9 o'clock). If the gap in the fastener is facing vertically (i.e., 6 or 12
o'clock), the sensor will require greater pressure to seat firmly against the instrument panel.
NOTE:
A LOOSELY MOUNTED IN-CAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR, OR ASPIRATOR HOSE WITH
CUTS OR KINKS MAY CAUSE SYSTEM TO BE UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SETPOINT
TEMPERATURE OR SETPOINT IS REACHED BUT SYSTEM GRADUALLY COOLS.
EATC/DATC Aspiration Test
This test will determine if the in-car temperature sensor is receiving enough aspiration. A lack of
aspiration may result in an incorrect in-car temperature sensor reading and may cause the
EATC/DATC system to act erratically and/or EATC/DATC blowing too cold or too warm.
1. Cut a piece of toilet tissue or tissue paper about 2.5 x 2.5 cm (1" x 1").
NOTE:
PAPER TOWEL WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY.
2. Turn key on, fan speed to HIGH BLOWER, and select PANEL or VENT mode.

3. Place the piece of tissue paper over the aspirator grille opening. If aspiration (suction) is present,
the tissue paper should stick to the grille.
4. Slowly lower the fan speed to LOW BLOWER. The tissue should continue sticking to the grille.
5. Turn the fan speed to HIGH BLOWER, then to OFF. Tissue paper should fall off the grille.
6. If the tissue paper falls off the aspirator grille when the blower fan is on in any speed:
a. Verify that the aspirator hose is properly connected at both ends. Check the aspirator hose for
kinks or cuts.
b. Verify that the in-car temperature sensor is properly installed/sealed against the dash panel.
c. Repair as required.
7. On vehicles equipped with a coolant control valve, check for proper operation of the coolant
control valve. Visually inspect vacuum hoses for kinks, leaks, or disconnects.
8. Temperature differentials between panel/floor/defrost vents in mix modes and temperature
setpoints that are not at full cool or full heat may exist and are considered normal and not
repairable.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6468
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6469
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6470
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

- Three resistor elements are mounted on the resistor board to provide four blower motor speeds.
- Depending on the heater blower motor switch position, series resistance is added or bypassed in
the A/C blower motor circuit to decrease or increase A/C blower motor speed.
- An overheating protective device (thermal limiter) will open the resistor coil when the temperature
reaches 121°C (250°F)interrupting the blower motor operation in all speeds except HI.
- The thermal limiter cannot be reset and is not serviceable.

Compressor Clutch: Description and Operation
NOTE:
- Internal A/C compressor components are not serviced separately. The FS-10 A/C compressor is
serviced 0n1y as an assembly. The A/C clutch,A/C clutch pulley, A/C clutch field coil and the shaft
seal are serviceable.
- Installation of a new suction accumulator/drier is not required when repairing the air conditioning
system except when there is physical evidence of system contamination from a failed A/C
compressor or damage to the suction accumulator/drier.
- The A/C compressor oil from vehicles equipped with an FS-10 A/C compressor may have a dark
color while maintaining a normal oil viscosity. This is normal for this A/C compressor because
carbon from the piston rings will discolor the oil.
The FS-10 A/C compressor has the following characteristics:
- a 10-cylinder swashplate design utilizing the tangential design mount
- displacement of 170 cc (10 cubic inch)
- a one-piece lip-type seal (installed from the front of the A/C compressor) which is used to seal it at
the shaft opening in the assembly
- five double-acting pistons which operate within the cylinder assembly (The pistons are actuated
by a swashplate that converts the rotating action of the shaft to a reciprocating force.)
- reed-type discharge valves located between the cylinder assembly and the head at each end of
the A/C compressor
- uses PAG compressor oil YN-12-C, F7AZ-19589-DA or equivalent meeting Ford specification
WSH-M1C231-B (This oil contains special additives required for the A/C compressor.)
A/C Compressor Clutch Assembly
The magnetic A/C clutch has the following characteristics:
- It drives the compressor shaft.
- When battery positive voltage (B+) is applied to the A/C clutch field coil, the clutch disc and hub
assembly is drawn toward the A/C clutch pulley.
- The magnetic force locks the clutch disc and hub assembly and the A/C clutch pulley together as
one unit, causing the compressor shaft to rotate.
- When B+ is removed from the A/C clutch field coil, springs in the clutch disc and hub assembly
move the clutch disc away from the A/C clutch pulley.

LACK OF A/C COOLING - RESTRICTED/REDUCED AIR FLOW THROUGH VENTS EVAPORATOR CORE ICING
FORD: 2000-2004 Crown Victoria
MERCURY: 2000-2004 Grand Marquis
This article supersedes TSB 03-22-8 to update the part information.
ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit a lack of A/C cooling and restricted/reduced air flow through the A/C
vents typically during extended idling conditions. This may be due to extended A/C compressor
operation (lack of compressor cycling) causing icing of the evaporator core surface.
ACTION
To service, first verify that the A/C clutch relay is operating properly and that the contacts are not
sticking closed. The A/C clutch relay contacts may stick closed due to arcing. The arcing may be
caused by transient voltage from the A/C clutch field coil when the relay contacts open to turn off
the AC clutch. Refer to the following Service Procedure.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Monitor the powertrain control module (PCM) PIDS ACCS, WAC and high/low side refrigerant
pressures. If WAC PID reads OFF, and the A/C compressor continuously operates, check for A/C
Relay contacts sticking closed.
a. A/C relay contacts that are sticking closed will have continuity between relay pins 30 and 87. If
continuity is found replace the A/C relay (2000-2002 FOAZ-14N089-A or 2003-2004
F5TZ-14N089-B). It will also be necessary to add a 400V 1.0A Diode (E8DZ-10C912-A) from circuit
57 BK to circuit 321 GY/WH. (SEE DIODE INSTALLATION BELOW).
b. If the A/C relay contacts are not sticking closed, then do not continue with this TSB. Perform
normal diagnosis using wiring diagrams and Workshop Manual procedures.
2. If the ACCS PID reads ON with low side refrigerant pressures below 20 PSI, diagnose for a
faulty cycling switch or shorted circuits.
NOTE
FOR 2003-2004 MODEL YEAR, CYCLING OF THE A/C COMPRESSOR IS CONTROLLED BY A
THERMISTOR SIGNAL TO THE PCM. THE LOW PRESSURE CYCLING SWITCH IS ONLY FOR
SYSTEM PROTECTION.
a. On 2000-2002 model years the low pressure cycling switch was used to control system
operation. For these model years replacement of the low pressure cycling with one that has a
higher set point can also reduce the potential for ice build up on the evaporator core. For
2000-2002 model years only, replace the white A/C low pressure cycling switch with black low
pressure cycling switch (F5VY-19E561-A) per Workshop Manual Section 412-03.

Compressor Clutch Relay: Description and Operation
Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-Off
The wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C clutch relay) is normally
open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC Module and the A/C
clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for some applications, this
message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is requested, the PCM will
check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW), A/C Cycling Switch (ACCS)).
If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as coolant
temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the Wide Open Throttle A/C
(WAC) output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.

Condenser HVAC: Description and Operation
NOTE: Installation of a new suction accumulator/drier is not required when repairing the air
conditioning system except when there is physical evidence of system contamination from a failed
A/C compressor or damage to the suction accumulator/drier.
The A/C condenser core has the following characteristics:
- It is an aluminum fin and tube design heat exchanger located in front of the vehicle radiator.
- It cools compressed refrigerant gas by allowing air to pass over fins and tubes to extract heat and
by condensing gas to liquid refrigerant as it is cooled.

Condenser HVAC: Testing and Inspection
ON-VEHICLE LEAK TEST
1. Discharge and recover the refrigerant. For additional information, refer to Discharging and
Recovery. See: Service and Repair/Refrigerant
Discharging and Recovery procedure
2. Disconnect the suspect A/C evaporator core from the air conditioning system.
NOTE: DO NOT leak test an A/C evaporator core with the suction accumulator/drier attached to the
core tubes.
3. Clean the spring lock couplings. For additional information, refer to Spring Lock Coupling. See:
Coupler HVAC/Service and Repair/Spring Lock
Coupling Connect and Disconnect Procedure
4. Connect the appropriate test fittings from the R12-/R134-a Air Conditioning Test Fitting Set to
the evaporator or condenser tube connections. 5. Connect the red and blue hoses from the R134-a
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.
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.
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.

Control Assembly: Description and Operation Main Climate Control
With Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC)
The Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC) module, located in the instrument panel,
has the following features:
- a blower speed override control for manual input
- a vacuum fluorescent display for displaying set temperature, ambient temperature, function and
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
- an On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) feature to supply the technician with diagnostic trouble codes
(DTCs). These DTCs direct the technician to the inoperative component.
With Manual A/C
The climate control assembly has three system controls:
- The A/C heater function selector switch combines a vacuum selector valve with two electrical
switches to supply battery voltage (B+) to the A/C clutch circuit and the blower motor speed control
circuit.
- Temperature selection is accomplished with a potentiometer connected to the electric blend door.
Movement of the control knob from COOL (Blue) to WARM (Red) causes a corresponding
movement on the air temperature blend door and determines the temperature that the system will
maintain.
- The blower motor switch controls blower motor speed by adding or bypassing resistors in the
heater blower motor switch resitor.

System Response
a If engine coolant temperature fails to reach 50°C (122°F) after 3-1/2 minutes of operation, the
heater blower motor speed will increase and the windshield defroster door will shift from defrost
position to floor position.
b The A/C system is enabled by the EATC control assembly, but final control of the A/C
compressor clutch is determined by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) through the use of a
normally open clutch control relay. The A/C clutch can be shut off (or kept off) for several seconds
at engine start-up, during high engine speeds, during low engine idle conditions (approximately 200
rpm below idle specs) and when the engine coolant temperature sensor reading exceeds
approximately 120°C (248°F).

Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Coupler HVAC > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Spring Lock Coupling
Coupler HVAC: Description and Operation Spring Lock Coupling
Spring Lock Coupling
The spring lock coupling is a refrigerant line coupling held together by a garter spring inside a
circular cage.
- 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 two halves of the A/C condenser core couplings,
all other couplings have two O-ring seals.
- These O-ring seals are green in color and are made of special material.
- Use only the green O-ring seals listed in the Ford Master Parts Catalog for the spring lock
coupling.
- A plastic indicator ring is used on the spring lock couplings of the A/C evaporator core 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.

Coupler HVAC: Description and Operation Peanut Fitting
The A/C condenser core uses the peanut-shaped refrigerant fittings instead of spring lock
couplings.
- The male and female blocks of the peanut fitting are retained with a nut.
- An O-ring seal is installed around the tube on the male block.
- The female block is welded to the tube and is not adjustable.
- Support the female fitting with a wrench to prevent twisting of the tubes.
- The male block will pivot around the tube to allow for alignment with the female block during
assembly.
- When properly assembled the male and female fittings should be flush.

Evaporator Core: Description and Operation
NOTE: Installation of a new suction accumulator/drier is not required when repairing the air
conditioning system except when there is physical evidence of system contamination from a failed
A/C compressor or damage to the suction accumulator/drier.
The A/C evaporator core is the plate/fin type with a unique refrigerant flow path.
- A mixture of refrigerant and oil enters the bottom of the A/C evaporator core through the A/C
evaporator core inlet tube and is routed so it flows through the partitioned first three plate/fin
sections.
- The next four plate/fin sections are partitioned to force the refrigerant to flow toward the other end
of the A/C evaporator core.
- Refrigerant then continues over to the remaining five plate/fin sections and then moves out of the
A/C evaporator core through the A/C evaporator core outlet tube.
- This S-pass flow pattern accelerates the flow of refrigerant and oil through the A/C evaporator
core.

Evaporator Core: Testing and Inspection
ON-VEHICLE LEAK TEST
1. Discharge and recover the refrigerant. For additional information, refer to Discharging and
Recovery. See: Service and Repair/Refrigerant
Discharging and Recovery procedure
2. Disconnect the suspect A/C evaporator core from the air conditioning system.
NOTE: DO NOT leak test an A/C evaporator core with the suction accumulator/drier attached to the
core tubes.
3. Clean the spring lock couplings. For additional information, refer to Spring Lock Coupling. See:
Coupler HVAC/Service and Repair/Spring Lock
Coupling Connect and Disconnect Procedure
4. Connect the appropriate test fittings from the R12-/R134-a Air Conditioning Test Fitting Set to
the evaporator or condenser tube connections. 5. Connect the red and blue hoses from the R134-a
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.
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.
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.

CODES: 208000, 208100, 208200, 208300, 208999
Service Procedure
If no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are obtained during the EATC/DATC module self-test, refer
to the following diagnostic Service Procedure.
1. Inspect the in-car temperature sensor aspirator hose for proper connections at both ends.
2. Inspect the aspirator hose for kinks or cuts.
3. On applicable vehicles, verify that the in-car temperature sensor is attached and firmly seated to
the dash panel. Some vehicles mount the sensor on two pins located on the dash panel. The
sensor may be mounted onto the pins loosely and not seated firmly against the dash panel,
causing a gap in the sensor-to-dash panel seal and allowing warm air from behind the instrument
panel to be drawn across the sensor.
4. Explorer/Mountaineer Only: Check the mounting fasteners to verify that the gap in the fastener is
facing horizontally (i.e., at 3 or 9 o'clock). If the gap in the fastener is facing vertically (i.e., 6 or 12
o'clock), the sensor will require greater pressure to seat firmly against the instrument panel.
NOTE:
A LOOSELY MOUNTED IN-CAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR, OR ASPIRATOR HOSE WITH
CUTS OR KINKS MAY CAUSE SYSTEM TO BE UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SETPOINT
TEMPERATURE OR SETPOINT IS REACHED BUT SYSTEM GRADUALLY COOLS.
EATC/DATC Aspiration Test
This test will determine if the in-car temperature sensor is receiving enough aspiration. A lack of
aspiration may result in an incorrect in-car temperature sensor reading and may cause the
EATC/DATC system to act erratically and/or EATC/DATC blowing too cold or too warm.
1. Cut a piece of toilet tissue or tissue paper about 2.5 x 2.5 cm (1" x 1").
NOTE:
PAPER TOWEL WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY.

Workshop Manual, Section 412.
b. If leaks are found in the body of the heater core itself, and does not appear to be the result of
physical damage like contact or puncture, check the coolant for possible electrolysis.
Testing For Electrolysis
Check for voltage in the cooling system by touching the negative contact of a voltmeter to the
battery ground or a known good ground and suspend the positive lead in the coolant, making sure
it is in contact with the coolant but not touching any metal part of the radiator or cooling system.
Both AC and DC voltages must be checked. Vehicles normally have DC voltages; however, a faulty
engine block heater or faulty diode in the alternator can produce AC voltages. It is understood that
coolant is lost due to heater core failure but try to obtain a voltage reading on the old coolant in the
engine block before addition to or replacement of. To keep more coolant from exiting the heater

Heater Core: Testing and Inspection
WARNING: CARBON MONOXIDE IS COLORLESS, ODORLESS AND DANGEROUS. IF IT IS
NECESSARY TO OPERATE THE ENGINE WITH THE VEHICLE IN A CLOSED AREA SUCH AS
A GARAGE, ALWAYS USE AN EXHAUST COLLECTOR TO VENT THE EXHAUST GASES
OUTSIDE THE CLOSED AREA. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT
IN PERSONAL INJURY.
1. 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.
NOTE: Testing of returned heater cores reveals that a large percentage of heater cores are good
and a new heater core was not required. If a heater core leak is suspected, the heater core must
be tested by following the plugged heater core component test before the heater core pressure
test. Carry out a system inspection by checking the heater system thoroughly.
2. Check the integrity of the heater water hose clamps.
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.
Heater Core-Plugged
WARNING: THE HEATER CORE INLET HOSE WILL BECOME TOO HOT TO HANDLE IF THE
SYSTEM IS WORKING CORRECTLY.
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 outlet hose
to see if it is hot.
If it is not hot: the heater core may have an air pocket.
- the heater core may be plugged.
- the thermostat may not be working correctly.
Heater Core-Pressure Test Use the Radiator/Heater Core Pressure Tester to carry out the
pressure test. 1. Drain the coolant from the cooling system.
NOTE: Due to space limitations, a bench test may be necessary for pressure testing.
2. Disconnect the heater water hoses from the heater core. 3. Install a short piece of heater water
hose, approximately 101 mm (4 inches) 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 241 kPa (35 psi) of air pressure
into the heater core. 7. Observe the pressure gauge for a minimum of three 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.

This article supersedes TSB 01-15-6 to update the vehicle model years and Service Procedure.
ISSUE The majority of repeat heater core leaks are due to high flow rate or use of poor quality
coolant. However, electrolysis should also be checked, especially when repeat repairs have
occurred.
ACTION If the heater core is leaking, review the location of the leakage and check the condition of
the coolant.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Review the location of the leakage and check the condition of the coolant:
a. If leaks are found on the inlet (or outlet) tubes entering / exiting the heater core, it is most likely
due to due to high flow rate - replace the

Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Heater Hose: > 06-21-19 > Oct > 06 > A/C - Heater Core Electrolysis/Leakage
> Page 6749
heater core and install a restrictor in the heater hose closest to the engine block, reference
Workshop Manual, Section 412.
b. If leaks are found in the body of the heater core itself, and does not appear to be the result of
physical damage like contact or puncture, check the coolant for possible electrolysis.
Testing For Electrolysis
Check for voltage in the cooling system by touching the negative contact of a voltmeter to the
battery ground or a known good ground and suspend the positive lead in the coolant, making sure
it is in contact with the coolant but not touching any metal part of the radiator or cooling system.
Both AC and DC voltages must be checked. Vehicles normally have DC voltages; however, a faulty
engine block heater or faulty diode in the alternator can produce AC voltages. It is understood that
coolant is lost due to heater core failure but try to obtain a voltage reading on the old coolant in the
engine block before addition to or replacement of. To keep more coolant from exiting the heater
core clamp off heater core lines and measure coolant in the engine block. Try not to dilute the
original coolant with new coolant during testing if possible.
1. Determine whether coolant condition is acceptable.
a. Remove both cables from the battery and ensure they do not contact each other or the vehicle.
b. Touch negative lead of voltmeter to engine ground and positive lead in the coolant.
NOTE
POSITIVE TEST PROBE IS IN THE COOLANT FOR TESTING.
c. Check the voltage in the cooling system. If less than or equal to 0.4 volts (V) OK, reconnect
battery cables and proceed to Step 2.
d. If greater than 0.4 V, flush cooling system thoroughly.
e. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V.
f. Reconnect battery cables.
g. Refill the system with appropriate Motorcraft® engine coolant.
2. Check for loose or missing grounds at static conditions.
a. Turn off all accessories. Turn ignition on but do not start engine.
b. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.
c. Voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V on all grounds OK.
d. Any one greater than 0.4 V, check and clean ground cable connections.
e. Check accessories without using the on off switch on the vehicle instrument panel, use a jumper
wire to ground.
f. Plug in engine block heater, if equipped, and test.
g. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V.
h. Unplug engine block heater, if equipped.
3. Check for loose, missing, or inadequate grounds.
a. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.
b. Crank engine but do not start.
c. Monitor voltage while cranking. less than or equal to 0.4 V OK
d. If greater than 0.4 V, ground or repair starter.
e. Start engine and run at about 2000 rpm.
f. Turn on all accessories including those customer only uses occasionally such as CB radio, cell
phone, etc.
g. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.

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

Ford Motor Company has approved the Rotunda Deluxe A/C Refrigerant Analyzer (198-00003) for
use on Ford and Lincoln-Mercury vehicles (Figure 1). The analyzer provides the technician with a
quick and easy way to identify the type and percentage of refrigerant (R-134a, R-12, R-22, or
flammable hydrocarbon). The analyzer can also provide the percentage of air in the A/C system
and automatically purge air from the system.
The A/C Refrigerant Analyzer is designed to identify vapor gas samples taken directly from
automotive air conditioning systems or refrigerant storage cylinders. Refrigerant vapor passes
through the multiple sensor Non-Dispersive Infra-Red (NDIR) sensing unit. The microprocessor
calculates each refrigerant type and purity percentage which is displayed on the analyzer's Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD).
The analyzer identifies the purity percentage of R-134a, R-12, R-22, hydrocarbon; and air in the
sample. If the purity percentage of the R-134a or R-12 is 98% or greater by weight, a green
"PASS" Light Emitting Diode (LED) will light. If refrigerants R-134a or R-12 do not meet 98% purity
levels, the red "FAIL" LED will light. Levels of R-22 and flammable hydrocarbons above 2% will
light the red "FAIL" light. If a hydrocarbon is detected above 5%, both the "FAIL" light and
"HYDROCARBON" light will illuminate and a horn will sound alerting the user of potential hazards.
The percent of air contained in the sample will be displayed if the R-134a or R-12 content is 98% or
above. The analyzer eliminates the effect of air
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))

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

Refrigerant: Service Precautions
The Ozone Layer A thin layer of ozone molecules, located 10 to 30 miles above the earth, form a
protective cover by absorbing a portion of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted from the Sun.
Ozone Depletion Scientific research performed over the past 15 years links the release of
chlorofluorocarbons (CFC)s, also know by the trade name Freon) into the atmosphere to ozone
depletion. When CFCs are released into the atmosphere, they eventually reach the ozone layer
located in the stratosphere where they react with and destroy ozone molecules.
Harmful Effects Ozone depletion and the corresponding increase in UV radiation has been shown
to lead to higher incidents of cancer as well as global warming. When viewed from a global
perspective, ozone depletion holds an enormous potential for damage.
Upper Level Vs. Ground Level Ozone Confusion often arises when we hear about the necessity of
the ozone layer and ground level ozone. The ozone layer existing high above the earth is beneficial
but the same compound, when located at ground level, is harmful to humans, animals, crops and
vegetation.
Ground level ozone is a component of smog and forms when hydrocarbons (HC) react with
nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the presence of sunlight and heat.
Montreal Protocol In response to the growing body of evidence demonstrating the detrimental
effects of (CFC)s, 24 countries and the European community met in Montreal, Canada, in 1987 to
establish standards for the control of (CFC)s. Since that time, a total of 132 countries have become
signatories to this agreement leading to an end of production of R12 in December, 1995, in all
developed countries.
As established by the Montreal Protocol, R12 production in developed countries has ceased.
Clean Air Act The United States Congress, acting in response to the Montreal Protocol, banned
production of (CFC)s by the year 2000. Congress also amended the Clean Air Act in an effort to
control both the production and use of (CFC)s for refrigerant applications including mobile vehicle
air conditioning systems.

Refrigerant Oil: Service and Repair
Refrigerant Oil Addition
CAUTION: During normal A/C operation, oil is circulated through the system with the refrigerant,
and a small amount is retained in each component. If certain components of the system are
removed, some of the refrigerant oil will go with the component. To maintain the original total oil
charge, it is necessary to compensate for the oil lost by adding oil to the system with the new part.
1. Rotate the A/C compressor shaft six to eight revolutions while collecting the oil in a clean
measuring device.
- If the amount of oil drained from the old A/C compressor is between 85-142 ml (3-5 ounces), pour
the same amount plus 30 ml (1 ounce) of clean PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R-134a
Systems) F7AZ-19589-DA (Motorcraft YN-12-C) or equivalent meeting Ford specification
WSH-M1C231-B into the new A/C compressor.
- If the amount of oil that was removed from the old A/C compressor is greater than 142 ml (5
ounces), pour the same amount drained of clean PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R-134a
Systems) F7AZ-19589-DA (Motorcraft YN-12-C) or equivalent meeting Ford specification
WSH-M1C231-B into the new A/C compressor.
- If the amount of oil that was removed from the old A/C compressor is less than 85 ml (3 ounces),
pour 85 ml (3 ounces) of clean PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R-134a Systems)
F7AZ-19589-DA (Motorcraft YN-12-C) or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSH-M1C231-B
into the new A/C compressor.
NOTE: New A/C compressors are shipped without compressor oil.
2. For the suction accumulator/drier, drill two 0.5 in (12.5 mm) holes in the suction
accumulator/drier cylinder and drain the oil into a calibrated
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))

LACK OF A/C COOLING - RESTRICTED/REDUCED AIR FLOW THROUGH VENTS EVAPORATOR CORE ICING
FORD: 2000-2004 Crown Victoria
MERCURY: 2000-2004 Grand Marquis
This article supersedes TSB 03-22-8 to update the part information.
ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit a lack of A/C cooling and restricted/reduced air flow through the A/C
vents typically during extended idling conditions. This may be due to extended A/C compressor
operation (lack of compressor cycling) causing icing of the evaporator core surface.
ACTION
To service, first verify that the A/C clutch relay is operating properly and that the contacts are not
sticking closed. The A/C clutch relay contacts may stick closed due to arcing. The arcing may be
caused by transient voltage from the A/C clutch field coil when the relay contacts open to turn off
the AC clutch. Refer to the following Service Procedure.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Monitor the powertrain control module (PCM) PIDS ACCS, WAC and high/low side refrigerant
pressures. If WAC PID reads OFF, and the A/C compressor continuously operates, check for A/C
Relay contacts sticking closed.
a. A/C relay contacts that are sticking closed will have continuity between relay pins 30 and 87. If
continuity is found replace the A/C relay (2000-2002 FOAZ-14N089-A or 2003-2004
F5TZ-14N089-B). It will also be necessary to add a 400V 1.0A Diode (E8DZ-10C912-A) from circuit
57 BK to circuit 321 GY/WH. (SEE DIODE INSTALLATION BELOW).
b. If the A/C relay contacts are not sticking closed, then do not continue with this TSB. Perform
normal diagnosis using wiring diagrams and Workshop Manual procedures.
2. If the ACCS PID reads ON with low side refrigerant pressures below 20 PSI, diagnose for a
faulty cycling switch or shorted circuits.
NOTE
FOR 2003-2004 MODEL YEAR, CYCLING OF THE A/C COMPRESSOR IS CONTROLLED BY A
THERMISTOR SIGNAL TO THE PCM. THE LOW PRESSURE CYCLING SWITCH IS ONLY FOR
SYSTEM PROTECTION.
a. On 2000-2002 model years the low pressure cycling switch was used to control system
operation. For these model years replacement of the low pressure cycling with one that has a
higher set point can also reduce the potential for ice build up on the evaporator core. For
2000-2002 model years only, replace the white A/C low pressure cycling switch with black low
pressure cycling switch (F5VY-19E561-A) per Workshop Manual Section 412-03.

Air Conditioning Pressure Sensor
Typical Air Conditioning Pressure Sensor
A/C Pressure Sensor Output Voltage VS Pressure Chart
The Air Conditioning Pressure (A/C pressure) sensor is located in the high pressure (discharge)
side of the air conditioning A/C system. The A/C pressure sensor provides a voltage signal to the
Powertrain Control Module (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.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation A/C Pressure Switch
A/C Cycling Switch
The A/C cycling switch is mounted on a Schrader valve-type fitting on the suction
accumulator/driver.
- 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 or low side pressure to control the operation of the A/C cycling switch.
- The electrical switch contacts open when the suction pressure drops to 152-193 kPa (22-28 psi).
- The contacts close when the suction pressure rises to 276-324 kPa (40-47 psi).
- When the A/C cycling switch contacts close, the A/C clutch field coil is energized.
- When the A/C cycling switch contacts open, the A/C clutch field coil is deenergized and
compressor operation stops.
- The A/C cycling switch will control the A/C evaporator core pressure at a point where the plate/fin
surface temperature will be maintained slightly above freezing.
- This prevents icing of the A/C evaporator core and blockage of airflow.
- It is not necessary to discharge the refrigerant system to remove the A/C cycling switch.
Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-Off
Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-Off
Mustang
The Wide Open Throttle Air Conditioning Cut-off (WAC) output is used by the PCM to disengage
the A/C clutch when A/C compressor operation is not desirable. Under normal conditions, with the
A/C off, the PCM will ground the WAC output, which opens the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off
relay inside the constant control relay module. When the A/C demand switch is turned on, and the
A/C cycling switch and A/C high pressure switch high pressure contacts are closed, voltage is
supplied to the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts and to the ACCS circuit. The voltage on the ACCS
circuit indicates to the PCM that A/C is requested. The PCM will then verify that A/C clutch
operation is desirable (for example, engine not cranking, overheated or not at WOT). If A/C clutch
operation is desirable, the PCM will adjust idle speed as necessary and "unground" the WAC
output. This closes the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay and allows voltage to be supplied to
the A/C clutch.
All Others
For these applications, the wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C clutch
relay) is normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC
Module and the A/C clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for
some applications, this message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is
requested, the PCM will check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW),
ACCS). If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as
coolant temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the WAC output, closing
the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.
Air Conditioning Cycling Switch PCM Inputs
Air Conditioning Cycling Switch
The Air Conditioning (A/C) cycling switch may be wired to either the ACCS or ACPSW PCM input.
When the A/C cycling switch opens, the PCM will turn off the A/C clutch. For information on the
specific function of the A/C cycling switch, refer to Climate Control system.
The A/C Cycling Switch (ACCS) circuit to the PCM provides a voltage signal which indicates when
the A/C is requested. When the A/C demand switch is turned on, and both the A/C cycling switch
and the high pressure contacts of the A/C high pressure switch (if equipped and in circuit) are
closed, voltage is supplied to the ACCS circuit at the PCM. Refer to the applicable Wiring Diagram
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.
For additional information, refer to PCM outputs, wide open throttle air conditioning cutoff.
NOTE: The Town Car, Continental, LS6/LS8 and Windstar 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 BUS + and BUS - (SCP) communication.

Air Conditioning High Pressure Switch
The A/C pressure cut-off switch is used to interrupt A/C compressor operation in the event of high
system discharge pressures.
- The A/C pressure cut-off switch is mounted on a Schrader valve-type fitting on the A/C
compressor to condenser discharge line.
- A valve depressor, located inside the threaded end of the A/C pressure cut-off switch, presses on
the Schrader valve stem.
- This allows the A/C pressure cut-off switch to monitor the compressor discharge pressure.
- When the compressor discharge pressure rises to approximately 2896 kPa (420 psi), the switch
contacts open, disengaging the A/C compressor.
- When the pressure drops to approximately 1,724 kPa (250 psi), the contacts close to allow
operation of the A/C compressor.
- It is not necessary to discharge the refrigerant system to remove the A/C pressure cut-off switch.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Relays and Modules - HVAC > Blower Motor Relay > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6850
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Relays and Modules - HVAC > Blower Motor Relay > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6851
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Relays and Modules - HVAC > Blower Motor Relay > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6852
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

LACK OF A/C COOLING - RESTRICTED/REDUCED AIR FLOW THROUGH VENTS EVAPORATOR CORE ICING
FORD: 2000-2004 Crown Victoria
MERCURY: 2000-2004 Grand Marquis
This article supersedes TSB 03-22-8 to update the part information.
ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit a lack of A/C cooling and restricted/reduced air flow through the A/C
vents typically during extended idling conditions. This may be due to extended A/C compressor
operation (lack of compressor cycling) causing icing of the evaporator core surface.
ACTION
To service, first verify that the A/C clutch relay is operating properly and that the contacts are not
sticking closed. The A/C clutch relay contacts may stick closed due to arcing. The arcing may be
caused by transient voltage from the A/C clutch field coil when the relay contacts open to turn off
the AC clutch. Refer to the following Service Procedure.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Monitor the powertrain control module (PCM) PIDS ACCS, WAC and high/low side refrigerant
pressures. If WAC PID reads OFF, and the A/C compressor continuously operates, check for A/C
Relay contacts sticking closed.
a. A/C relay contacts that are sticking closed will have continuity between relay pins 30 and 87. If
continuity is found replace the A/C relay (2000-2002 FOAZ-14N089-A or 2003-2004
F5TZ-14N089-B). It will also be necessary to add a 400V 1.0A Diode (E8DZ-10C912-A) from circuit
57 BK to circuit 321 GY/WH. (SEE DIODE INSTALLATION BELOW).
b. If the A/C relay contacts are not sticking closed, then do not continue with this TSB. Perform
normal diagnosis using wiring diagrams and Workshop Manual procedures.
2. If the ACCS PID reads ON with low side refrigerant pressures below 20 PSI, diagnose for a
faulty cycling switch or shorted circuits.
NOTE
FOR 2003-2004 MODEL YEAR, CYCLING OF THE A/C COMPRESSOR IS CONTROLLED BY A
THERMISTOR SIGNAL TO THE PCM. THE LOW PRESSURE CYCLING SWITCH IS ONLY FOR
SYSTEM PROTECTION.
a. On 2000-2002 model years the low pressure cycling switch was used to control system
operation. For these model years replacement of the low pressure cycling with one that has a
higher set point can also reduce the potential for ice build up on the evaporator core. For
2000-2002 model years only, replace the white A/C low pressure cycling switch with black low
pressure cycling switch (F5VY-19E561-A) per Workshop Manual Section 412-03.

Compressor Clutch Relay: Description and Operation
Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-Off
The wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C clutch relay) is normally
open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC Module and the A/C
clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for some applications, this
message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is requested, the PCM will
check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW), A/C Cycling Switch (ACCS)).
If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as coolant
temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the Wide Open Throttle A/C
(WAC) output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.

System Response
a If engine coolant temperature fails to reach 50°C (122°F) after 3-1/2 minutes of operation, the
heater blower motor speed will increase and the windshield defroster door will shift from defrost
position to floor position.
b The A/C system is enabled by the EATC control assembly, but final control of the A/C
compressor clutch is determined by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) through the use of a
normally open clutch control relay. The A/C clutch can be shut off (or kept off) for several seconds
at engine start-up, during high engine speeds, during low engine idle conditions (approximately 200
rpm below idle specs) and when the engine coolant temperature sensor reading exceeds
approximately 120°C (248°F).

ISSUE On some vehicles equipped with Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC), there
may be concerns where the blower motor may stay on high after desired temperature is reached,
where temperature control does not maintain setpoint, and/or where the temperature gradually
wanders away from the setpoint.
ACTION Refer to the following Service Procedure to aid in normal diagnostics of the EATC system.
OTHER APPLICABLE ARTICLES: NONE WARRANTY STATUS: INFORMATION ONLY OASIS
CODES: 208000, 208100, 208200, 208300, 208999
Service Procedure
If no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are obtained during the EATC/DATC module self-test, refer
to the following diagnostic Service Procedure.
1. Inspect the in-car temperature sensor aspirator hose for proper connections at both ends.
2. Inspect the aspirator hose for kinks or cuts.
3. On applicable vehicles, verify that the in-car temperature sensor is attached and firmly seated to
the dash panel. Some vehicles mount the sensor on two pins located on the dash panel. The
sensor may be mounted onto the pins loosely and not seated firmly against the dash panel,
causing a gap in the sensor-to-dash panel seal and allowing warm air from behind the instrument
panel to be drawn across the sensor.
4. Explorer/Mountaineer Only: Check the mounting fasteners to verify that the gap in the fastener is
facing horizontally (i.e., at 3 or 9 o'clock). If the gap in the fastener is facing vertically (i.e., 6 or 12
o'clock), the sensor will require greater pressure to seat firmly against the instrument panel.
NOTE:
A LOOSELY MOUNTED IN-CAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR, OR ASPIRATOR HOSE WITH
CUTS OR KINKS MAY CAUSE SYSTEM TO BE UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SETPOINT
TEMPERATURE OR SETPOINT IS REACHED BUT SYSTEM GRADUALLY COOLS.
EATC/DATC Aspiration Test
This test will determine if the in-car temperature sensor is receiving enough aspiration. A lack of
aspiration may result in an incorrect in-car temperature sensor reading and may cause the
EATC/DATC system to act erratically and/or EATC/DATC blowing too cold or too warm.
1. Cut a piece of toilet tissue or tissue paper about 2.5 x 2.5 cm (1" x 1").
NOTE:
PAPER TOWEL WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY.
2. Turn key on, fan speed to HIGH BLOWER, and select PANEL or VENT mode.

3. Place the piece of tissue paper over the aspirator grille opening. If aspiration (suction) is present,
the tissue paper should stick to the grille.
4. Slowly lower the fan speed to LOW BLOWER. The tissue should continue sticking to the grille.
5. Turn the fan speed to HIGH BLOWER, then to OFF. Tissue paper should fall off the grille.
6. If the tissue paper falls off the aspirator grille when the blower fan is on in any speed:
a. Verify that the aspirator hose is properly connected at both ends. Check the aspirator hose for
kinks or cuts.
b. Verify that the in-car temperature sensor is properly installed/sealed against the dash panel.
c. Repair as required.
7. On vehicles equipped with a coolant control valve, check for proper operation of the coolant
control valve. Visually inspect vacuum hoses for kinks, leaks, or disconnects.
8. Temperature differentials between panel/floor/defrost vents in mix modes and temperature
setpoints that are not at full cool or full heat may exist and are considered normal and not
repairable.

6. If the tissue paper falls off the aspirator grille when the blower fan is on in any speed:
a. Verify that the aspirator hose is properly connected at both ends. Check the aspirator hose for
kinks or cuts.
b. Verify that the in-car temperature sensor is properly installed/sealed against the dash panel.
c. Repair as required.
7. On vehicles equipped with a coolant control valve, check for proper operation of the coolant
control valve. Visually inspect vacuum hoses for kinks, leaks, or disconnects.
8. Temperature differentials between panel/floor/defrost vents in mix modes and temperature
setpoints that are not at full cool or full heat may exist and are considered normal and not
repairable.

LACK OF A/C COOLING - RESTRICTED/REDUCED AIR FLOW THROUGH VENTS EVAPORATOR CORE ICING
FORD: 2000-2004 Crown Victoria
MERCURY: 2000-2004 Grand Marquis
This article supersedes TSB 03-22-8 to update the part information.
ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit a lack of A/C cooling and restricted/reduced air flow through the A/C
vents typically during extended idling conditions. This may be due to extended A/C compressor
operation (lack of compressor cycling) causing icing of the evaporator core surface.
ACTION
To service, first verify that the A/C clutch relay is operating properly and that the contacts are not
sticking closed. The A/C clutch relay contacts may stick closed due to arcing. The arcing may be
caused by transient voltage from the A/C clutch field coil when the relay contacts open to turn off
the AC clutch. Refer to the following Service Procedure.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Monitor the powertrain control module (PCM) PIDS ACCS, WAC and high/low side refrigerant
pressures. If WAC PID reads OFF, and the A/C compressor continuously operates, check for A/C
Relay contacts sticking closed.
a. A/C relay contacts that are sticking closed will have continuity between relay pins 30 and 87. If
continuity is found replace the A/C relay (2000-2002 FOAZ-14N089-A or 2003-2004
F5TZ-14N089-B). It will also be necessary to add a 400V 1.0A Diode (E8DZ-10C912-A) from circuit
57 BK to circuit 321 GY/WH. (SEE DIODE INSTALLATION BELOW).
b. If the A/C relay contacts are not sticking closed, then do not continue with this TSB. Perform
normal diagnosis using wiring diagrams and Workshop Manual procedures.
2. If the ACCS PID reads ON with low side refrigerant pressures below 20 PSI, diagnose for a
faulty cycling switch or shorted circuits.
NOTE
FOR 2003-2004 MODEL YEAR, CYCLING OF THE A/C COMPRESSOR IS CONTROLLED BY A
THERMISTOR SIGNAL TO THE PCM. THE LOW PRESSURE CYCLING SWITCH IS ONLY FOR
SYSTEM PROTECTION.
a. On 2000-2002 model years the low pressure cycling switch was used to control system
operation. For these model years replacement of the low pressure cycling with one that has a
higher set point can also reduce the potential for ice build up on the evaporator core. For
2000-2002 model years only, replace the white A/C low pressure cycling switch with black low
pressure cycling switch (F5VY-19E561-A) per Workshop Manual Section 412-03.

Air Conditioning Pressure Sensor
Typical Air Conditioning Pressure Sensor
A/C Pressure Sensor Output Voltage VS Pressure Chart
The Air Conditioning Pressure (A/C pressure) sensor is located in the high pressure (discharge)
side of the air conditioning A/C system. The A/C pressure sensor provides a voltage signal to the
Powertrain Control Module (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.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation A/C Pressure Switch
A/C Cycling Switch
The A/C cycling switch is mounted on a Schrader valve-type fitting on the suction
accumulator/driver.
- 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 or low side pressure to control the operation of the A/C cycling switch.
- The electrical switch contacts open when the suction pressure drops to 152-193 kPa (22-28 psi).
- The contacts close when the suction pressure rises to 276-324 kPa (40-47 psi).
- When the A/C cycling switch contacts close, the A/C clutch field coil is energized.
- When the A/C cycling switch contacts open, the A/C clutch field coil is deenergized and
compressor operation stops.
- The A/C cycling switch will control the A/C evaporator core pressure at a point where the plate/fin
surface temperature will be maintained slightly above freezing.
- This prevents icing of the A/C evaporator core and blockage of airflow.
- It is not necessary to discharge the refrigerant system to remove the A/C cycling switch.
Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-Off
Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-Off
Mustang
The Wide Open Throttle Air Conditioning Cut-off (WAC) output is used by the PCM to disengage
the A/C clutch when A/C compressor operation is not desirable. Under normal conditions, with the
A/C off, the PCM will ground the WAC output, which opens the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off
relay inside the constant control relay module. When the A/C demand switch is turned on, and the
A/C cycling switch and A/C high pressure switch high pressure contacts are closed, voltage is
supplied to the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts and to the ACCS circuit. The voltage on the ACCS
circuit indicates to the PCM that A/C is requested. The PCM will then verify that A/C clutch
operation is desirable (for example, engine not cranking, overheated or not at WOT). If A/C clutch
operation is desirable, the PCM will adjust idle speed as necessary and "unground" the WAC
output. This closes the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay and allows voltage to be supplied to
the A/C clutch.
All Others
For these applications, the wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C clutch
relay) is normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC
Module and the A/C clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for
some applications, this message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is
requested, the PCM will check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW),
ACCS). If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as
coolant temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the WAC output, closing
the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.
Air Conditioning Cycling Switch PCM Inputs
Air Conditioning Cycling Switch
The Air Conditioning (A/C) cycling switch may be wired to either the ACCS or ACPSW PCM input.
When the A/C cycling switch opens, the PCM will turn off the A/C clutch. For information on the
specific function of the A/C cycling switch, refer to Climate Control system.
The A/C Cycling Switch (ACCS) circuit to the PCM provides a voltage signal which indicates when
the A/C is requested. When the A/C demand switch is turned on, and both the A/C cycling switch
and the high pressure contacts of the A/C high pressure switch (if equipped and in circuit) are
closed, voltage is supplied to the ACCS circuit at the PCM. Refer to the applicable Wiring Diagram
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.
For additional information, refer to PCM outputs, wide open throttle air conditioning cutoff.
NOTE: The Town Car, Continental, LS6/LS8 and Windstar 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 BUS + and BUS - (SCP) communication.

Air Conditioning High Pressure Switch
The A/C pressure cut-off switch is used to interrupt A/C compressor operation in the event of high
system discharge pressures.
- The A/C pressure cut-off switch is mounted on a Schrader valve-type fitting on the A/C
compressor to condenser discharge line.
- A valve depressor, located inside the threaded end of the A/C pressure cut-off switch, presses on
the Schrader valve stem.
- This allows the A/C pressure cut-off switch to monitor the compressor discharge pressure.
- When the compressor discharge pressure rises to approximately 2896 kPa (420 psi), the switch
contacts open, disengaging the A/C compressor.
- When the pressure drops to approximately 1,724 kPa (250 psi), the contacts close to allow
operation of the A/C compressor.
- It is not necessary to discharge the refrigerant system to remove the A/C pressure cut-off switch.

Depowering and Repowering
Supplemental Restraint System ( SRS ) Depowering and Repowering
Depowering Procedure
Warning: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system
(SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event
of an accidental deployment.
Warning: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag
deployment, which can result in personal injury.
Warning: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
Note: The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the ECS fuse is removed and the ignition switch
is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
Note: 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 LH side of the instrument panel, remove the cover and the electronic
crash sensor (ECS)
module fuses F18 (10A) and F10 (10A) from the CJB. For additional information, refer to the Wiring
Diagram Manual.
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.
Warning: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply
must be depleted before repairing or replacing any front or side air bag supplemental restraint
system (SRS) components and before servicing, replacing, adjusting or striking components near
the front air bag sensor, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and
hood latches.
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least
one minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).
6. Disconnect the battery ground cable (14301) and wait at least one minute.
Repowering Procedure
Warning: The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only. Remove from
vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle
safety standards.
1. Make sure all restraint system diagnostic tool(s) that may have been installed during the repair
have been removed from the vehicle and all SRS
components are connected.
2. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON. 3. Install the ECS module fuses F18 (10A) and F10
(10A) to the CJB and install the cover.
Warning: Be sure that nobody is in the vehicle and that there is nothing blocking or set in front of
any air bag module when the battery ground cable is connected.
4. Connect the battery ground cable. 5. Prove out the supplemental restraint system (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 six seconds and then turn off. If an air bag
supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault is present, the air bag indicator will either: 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 electronic crash sensor
(ECS) module 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 five sets of five beeps. If this occurs, the air bag
indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired. Clear all continuous
DTCs from the restraints control module using a scan tool.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
The air bag Electronic Crash Sensor (ECS) module performs the following functions:
^ signals the inflators to deploy the air bags in the event of a deployable crash.
^ monitors the air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) for faults.
^ illuminates the air bag indicator if a fault is detected.
^ flashes the air bag indicator to indicate the Lamp Fault Code (LFC) detected.
^ communicates through the Data Link Connector (DLC) the current or historical Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTCs).
^ signals the Lighting Control Module (LCM) to activate a chime if the air bag indicator is not
available and another SRS fault exists.
NOTE: The safing sensor is internal to the ECS and is not serviced separately.
The ECS monitors the SRS for possible faults. If a fault is detected while the ignition switch is in the
RUN position, the ECS will illuminate the air bag indicator located in the instrument cluster.
When the ignition is cycled (turned off and then on), the air bag indicator will flash the two-digit
LFC. The air bag indicator will flash the LFC five times, then it will remain illuminated for the rest of
the key cycle. The ECS will also communicate the current and historical DTCs the DLC, using the
scan tool. If the air bag indicator does not function, and the system detects a fault condition, the
ECS will signal the LCM to activate an audible chime. The chime is a series of five sets of five tone
bursts. If the chime is heard, the SRS and the air bag indicator require repair.
LFCs are prioritized. If two or more faults occur at the same time, the fault having the highest
priority will be displayed first. After the fault has been corrected, the next highest priority fault will be
displayed.
The ECS includes a backup power supply. This feature provides sufficient backup power to deploy
the air bags in the event that the ignition circuit is damaged in a collision before the safing and air
bag sensors close. The backup power supply will deplete its stored energy approximately 1 minute
after the battery ground cable is disconnected.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
The air bag Electronic Crash Sensor (ECS) module performs the following functions:
^ signals the inflators to deploy the air bags in the event of a deployable crash.
^ monitors the air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) for faults.
^ illuminates the air bag indicator if a fault is detected.
^ flashes the air bag indicator to indicate the Lamp Fault Code (LFC) detected.
^ communicates through the Data Link Connector (DLC) the current or historical Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTCs).
^ signals the Lighting Control Module (LCM) to activate a chime if the air bag indicator is not
available and another SRS fault exists.
NOTE: The safing sensor is internal to the ECS and is not serviced separately.
The ECS monitors the SRS for possible faults. If a fault is detected while the ignition switch is in the
RUN position, the ECS will illuminate the air bag indicator located in the instrument cluster.
When the ignition is cycled (turned off and then on), the air bag indicator will flash the two-digit
LFC. The air bag indicator will flash the LFC five times, then it will remain illuminated for the rest of
the key cycle. The ECS will also communicate the current and historical DTCs the DLC, using the
scan tool. If the air bag indicator does not function, and the system detects a fault condition, the
ECS will signal the LCM to activate an audible chime. The chime is a series of five sets of five tone
bursts. If the chime is heard, the SRS and the air bag indicator require repair.
LFCs are prioritized. If two or more faults occur at the same time, the fault having the highest
priority will be displayed first. After the fault has been corrected, the next highest priority fault will be
displayed.
The ECS includes a backup power supply. This feature provides sufficient backup power to deploy
the air bags in the event that the ignition circuit is damaged in a collision before the safing and air
bag sensors close. The backup power supply will deplete its stored energy approximately 1 minute
after the battery ground cable is disconnected.

Depowering and Repowering
Supplemental Restraint System ( SRS ) Depowering and Repowering
Depowering Procedure
Warning: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system
(SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event
of an accidental deployment.
Warning: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag
deployment, which can result in personal injury.
Warning: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
Note: The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the ECS fuse is removed and the ignition switch
is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
Note: 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 LH side of the instrument panel, remove the cover and the electronic
crash sensor (ECS)
module fuses F18 (10A) and F10 (10A) from the CJB. For additional information, refer to the Wiring
Diagram Manual.
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.
Warning: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply
must be depleted before repairing or replacing any front or side air bag supplemental restraint
system (SRS) components and before servicing, replacing, adjusting or striking components near
the front air bag sensor, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and
hood latches.
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least
one minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).
6. Disconnect the battery ground cable (14301) and wait at least one minute.
Repowering Procedure
Warning: The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only. Remove from
vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle
safety standards.
1. Make sure all restraint system diagnostic tool(s) that may have been installed during the repair
have been removed from the vehicle and all SRS
components are connected.
2. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON. 3. Install the ECS module fuses F18 (10A) and F10
(10A) to the CJB and install the cover.
Warning: Be sure that nobody is in the vehicle and that there is nothing blocking or set in front of
any air bag module when the battery ground cable is connected.
4. Connect the battery ground cable. 5. Prove out the supplemental restraint system (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 six seconds and then turn off. If an air bag
supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault is present, the air bag indicator will either: 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 electronic crash sensor
(ECS) module 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 five sets of five beeps. If this occurs, the air bag
indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired. Clear all continuous
DTCs from the restraints control module using a scan tool.

LEFT FRONT SAFETY BELT RETRACTOR
OVERVIEW This procedure will require the technician to locate and inspect the build label for the
front left-hand seat belt retractor. The build label is located at one of two possible places on the
seat belt webbing. Some minor disassembly may be required to access the build label. An affected
seat belt retractor will be identified by the build date. Only a seat belt retractor determined affected
by the build date will be replaced. Follow the appropriate procedure in the workshop manual.
LOCATING BUILD LABEL
NOTE:
The build label is located either on the seat belt webbing above the anchor boot or under the
anchor boot.
1. Locate the build label on the webbing of the front left-hand seat belt retractor as follows:
^ Look for the build label on the webbing directly above the anchor boot. If the build label is located
here proceed to Label Inspection. If the label is not located here proceed to the next bullet point.
See Figure 1.

workshop manual.
NOTE:
Some of the safety belt retractors received from Ford Customer Service Division for the affected
vehicles have been reworked to include a stowage clip. Retractors with stowage clips are
acceptable regardless of date code.

LEFT FRONT SAFETY BELT RETRACTOR
OVERVIEW This procedure will require the technician to locate and inspect the build label for the
front left-hand seat belt retractor. The build label is located at one of two possible places on the
seat belt webbing. Some minor disassembly may be required to access the build label. An affected
seat belt retractor will be identified by the build date. Only a seat belt retractor determined affected
by the build date will be replaced. Follow the appropriate procedure in the workshop manual.
LOCATING BUILD LABEL
NOTE:
The build label is located either on the seat belt webbing above the anchor boot or under the
anchor boot.
1. Locate the build label on the webbing of the front left-hand seat belt retractor as follows:
^ Look for the build label on the webbing directly above the anchor boot. If the build label is located

Safety Belt: Description and Operation
WARNING:
^ ALL SAFETY BELT ASSEMBLIES INCLUDING RETRACTORS, BUCKLES, FRONT SEAT BELT
BUCKLE SUPPORT ASSEMBLIES (SLIDE BAR), IF EQUIPPED, SHOULDER BELT HEIGHT
ADJUSTERS, IF EQUIPPED, CHILD SAFETY SEAT TETHER BRACKET ASSEMBLIES, IF
EQUIPPED, AND ATTACHING HARDWARE SHOULD BE INSPECTED AFTER ANY COLLISION.
FORD RECOMMENDS NEW SAFETY BELT ASSEMBLIES BE INSTALLED UNLESS A
QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN FINDS THE ASSEMBLIES SHOW NO DAMAGE AND OPERATE
CORRECTLY. SAFETY BELT ASSEMBLIES NOT IN USE DURING A COLLISION SHOULD
ALSO BE INSPECTED AND NEW ASSEMBLIES INSTALLED IF EITHER DAMAGE OR
INCORRECT OPERATION IS NOTED.
^ EACH SEATING POSITION IN THE VEHICLE HAS A SPECIFIC SAFETY BELT ASSEMBLY
WHICH CONSISTS OF ONE BUCKLE AND ONE TONGUE. THE SAFETY BELT ASSEMBLY IS
DESIGNED TO BE USED AS A PAIR AND IS NOT TO BE USED ACROSS SEATING
POSITIONS.
Safety Belt, Lap/Shoulder
While the vehicle is in motion, the combination lap and shoulder belt adjusts to the occupant's
movement. However, if the vehicle is braked hard, cornered hard or if the vehicle receives an
impact of 8 km/h (5 mph) or more, the lap and shoulder belt locks and helps reduce the occupant's
forward movement.
Safety Belt, Lap/Shoulder-Dual Locking Mode
WARNING: REAR-FACING INFANT SEATS SHOULD NEVER BE PLACED IN THE FRONT
SEATS. THE DUAL LOCKING MODE RETRACTOR ON THE SHOULDER BELT PORTION OF
THE COMBINATION LAP/SHOULDER SAFETY BELT FOR THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER,
REAR SEAT OUTBOARD PASSENGERS AND REAR CENTER PASSENGER OPERATES IN
TWO WAYS:
1. In the vehicle-sensitive (emergency locking) mode, the shoulder belt retractor will allow the
occupant freedom of movement, locking tight only on
hard braking, hard cornering or impacts of approximately 8 km/h (5 mph) or more. The front and
rear outboard seat belt retractors can also be made to lock by pulling/jerking on the belt.
2. In the automatic locking mode, the shoulder belt retractor will be automatically locked and
remain locked when the combination lap/shoulder
safety belt is buckled and does not allow the occupant freedom of movement. This mode provides
tight lap/shoulder belt fit on the occupant and on a child safety seat or infant carrier installation
restraint.
When the combination lap/shoulder belt is unbuckled and allowed to retract completely, the
retractor will switch to the vehicle sensitive (emergency locking) mode.
The automatic locking mode must be used when installing a child safety seat on the front
passenger seat and rear outboard seats where dual locking retractors are provided.

2. The affected seat belt retractors were built from 6/01/98 (23 198 R) through 5/21/00 (21700R)
and must be replaced.
a. If you have determined the seat belt must be replaced based on the build date, replace the seat
belt retractor following the service procedures in Section 01-20A or 501-20A of the appropriate
workshop manual.
NOTE:
Some of the safety belt retractors received from Ford Customer Service Division for the affected
vehicles have been reworked to include a stowage clip. Retractors with stowage clips are
acceptable regardless of date code.
b. If you have determined the seat belt does not need replacement, reassemble the retractor (if
disassembly is required) as follows:
^ Using a length of mechanic's wire, pull the seat belt retractor anchor and webbing through the
anchor boot.
^ Install the anchor bolt and rubber washer. Tighten the bolt to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft).

3. Select one of the three universal transmitter channels to be programmed by pressing the desired
button. 4. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter 25-51 mm (1-2 in) from the front surface of the
universal transmitter so that the red light can still be
seen.
5. Use both hands to press the hand-held transmitter button and the desired button on the
universal transmitter. Do not release either button.
NOTE: During programming, the hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting after
two seconds, which may not be long enough to program the universal transmitter. If programming
this type of hand-held transmitter, continue to hold the button on the universal transmitter while
re-pressing the hand-held transmitter button every two seconds (Canada only).
6. Hold down both buttons until the red light on the universal transmitter flashes, first slowly and
then rapidly. Release both buttons when the rapid
flashing begins. The universal transmitter has successfully learned the new frequency signal and
can be used in place of the hand-held transmitter(s).
7. To operate, simply press the appropriate button on the universal transmitter. The red light is on
while the signal is being transmitted.
NOTE: If the hand-held transmitter appears to program the universal transmitter but does not open
the garage door, the garage door opener may have a "code protected" or "rolling code" feature.
Training a Garage Door Opener Equipped With "Roiling Codes" 1. Program the hand-held
transmitter to the universal transmitter. 2. Train the garage door opener receiver to recognize the
universal transmitter.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Multifunction Electronic Control Modules <--> [General
Module] > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7529
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Multifunction Electronic Control Modules <--> [General
Module] > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7530
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Multifunction Electronic Control Modules <--> [General
Module] > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7531
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

Multifunction Electronic Control Modules: Description and Operation
The multifunction modules consist of the following:
^ air suspension control module
^ Driver Door Module (DDM)
^ Lighting Control Module (LCM)
The Air Suspension Control Module is linked to its own Data Link Connector (DLC). The air
suspension control module controls the air suspension and the Electronic Variable Orifice (EVO)
steering.
A microprocessor controls the air suspension system. The microprocessor and its supporting
hardware are contained in the air suspension control module. The air suspension control module
responds to signals from various sensors in the vehicle to maintain the programmed ride height
while the vehicle is either moving or stopped. The air suspension control module accomplishes this
by opening and closing solenoid valves to control the amount of air in the air spring(s). The air
suspension control module turns on the compressor by applying voltage through the compressor
relay to inflate the air spring(s) and raise the vehicle. The air suspension control module opens the
vent solenoid to lower the vehicle by releasing air from the air spring(s)in response to signal inputs
from the air suspension height sensor(s).
The Driver Door Module (DDM) is connected on the International Standards Organization (ISO)
9141 communication network. The DDM controls many functions including power windows, power
door locks and remote keyless entry.
The Lighting Control Module (LCM) is connected on the ISO 9141 communication network. The
LCM controls both interior and exterior lighting, back lighting, the battery saver and warning
chimes.
The LCM eliminates the electronic interference and heat associated with the thermoelectric devices
used previously. The LCM is a microprocessor- based module that controls several vehicle
subsystems. It responds to electrical input signals from various switches, sensors, and external
modules.
LCM subsystem functions include:
^ headlamps with autolamps
^ turn signal lamps/hazard flasher lamps
^ cornering lamps
^ parking lamps
^ courtesy lamps
^ demand lamps
^ battery saver
^ backlighting
^ interfacing with the Driver Door Module (DDM) via SCP for illuminated entry

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

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

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

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

2. On vehicles without a fuel delivery module, remove the negative and positive connectors from
the fuel pump, Figure 1.
a. Cut the wires to the fuel pump 76 mm (3") from the flange of the fuel pump and discard the
wires.
b. Connect the RFI filter connectors to the spade terminal on the fuel pump.
c. Cut and solder both the red and black wires of the RFI filter to the red and black wires of the
flange. Use Heat Shrink Tubing (F5AZ-14A099-M) over the solder connections.
NOTE
HEAT SHRINK TUBING MUST BE USED OVER ALL SOLDERED CONNECTIONS MADE PRIOR

NOTE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH EXTREMELY LONG FUEL PUMP GROUND WIRE CIRCUITS, IT
MAY BE NECESSARY TO SHORTEN THE GROUND WIRE TO A POINT CLOSE TO THE FUEL
TANK. IF THE GROUND IS MOVED, BE SURE IT IS SECURE AND PROTECTED FROM
CORROSION SINCE IT IS THE OPERATING GROUND FOR THE PUMP. CHECK SERVICE
LITERATURE (EVTM, ETC.) FOR GROUND LOCATIONS.
WARNING
ALL SOLDERING AND HEAT SHRINKING MUST BE COMPLETED AWAY FROM THE FUEL
TANK AREA. USE A SOLDERING IRON ONLY FOR SOLDERING AND HEAT GUN ONLY FOR
APPLYING SHRINK TUBING.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP

Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Relays and Modules - Accessories and Optional
Equipment > Multifunction Electronic Control Modules <--> [General Module] > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7649
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

Equipment > Multifunction Electronic Control Modules <--> [General Module] > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7650
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

Equipment > Multifunction Electronic Control Modules <--> [General Module] > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7651
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

Multifunction Electronic Control Modules: Description and Operation
The multifunction modules consist of the following:
^ air suspension control module
^ Driver Door Module (DDM)
^ Lighting Control Module (LCM)
The Air Suspension Control Module is linked to its own Data Link Connector (DLC). The air
suspension control module controls the air suspension and the Electronic Variable Orifice (EVO)
steering.
A microprocessor controls the air suspension system. The microprocessor and its supporting
hardware are contained in the air suspension control module. The air suspension control module
responds to signals from various sensors in the vehicle to maintain the programmed ride height
while the vehicle is either moving or stopped. The air suspension control module accomplishes this
by opening and closing solenoid valves to control the amount of air in the air spring(s). The air
suspension control module turns on the compressor by applying voltage through the compressor
relay to inflate the air spring(s) and raise the vehicle. The air suspension control module opens the
vent solenoid to lower the vehicle by releasing air from the air spring(s)in response to signal inputs
from the air suspension height sensor(s).
The Driver Door Module (DDM) is connected on the International Standards Organization (ISO)
9141 communication network. The DDM controls many functions including power windows, power
door locks and remote keyless entry.
The Lighting Control Module (LCM) is connected on the ISO 9141 communication network. The
LCM controls both interior and exterior lighting, back lighting, the battery saver and warning
chimes.
The LCM eliminates the electronic interference and heat associated with the thermoelectric devices
used previously. The LCM is a microprocessor- based module that controls several vehicle
subsystems. It responds to electrical input signals from various switches, sensors, and external
modules.
LCM subsystem functions include:
^ headlamps with autolamps
^ turn signal lamps/hazard flasher lamps
^ cornering lamps
^ parking lamps
^ courtesy lamps
^ demand lamps
^ battery saver
^ backlighting
^ interfacing with the Driver Door Module (DDM) via SCP for illuminated entry

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to include vehicles, update model years, and
include a Lock Lever Kit Application Chart.
ISSUE The current door, decklid, ignition, and stowage locks cannot be serviced individually.
Current lock repair practice is to replace the entire lock set (-22050-) when one (1) or more locks
must be replaced. The release of this TSB and associated parts will allow replacement of any
individual malfunctioning lock (i.e., door lock, ignition lock, decklid lock, etc.) instead of replacing
the entire lockset. This TSB only applies to the 8-bit locks introduced in 1996. The 10-bit lock is not
affected.
ACTION Lock service packages have been released that contain all the necessary components to
re-pin a new lock cylinder to the customer's current key code. It allows the service community to
replace the individual lock cylinder on a given vehicle rather than replace the entire lockset. For
removal and installation procedures for all lock cylinders, refer to the following Service Procedure
for details.
NOTE
MOST MODELS BUILT DURING THE 1996 MODEL YEAR HAVE BOTH THE 10-BIT AND 8-BIT
LOCKS ON THEM. CHECK THE BUILD DATE OF THE VEHICLE TO ENSURE THE USE OF
THE CORRECT STYLE OF LOCK WHEN SERVICING ANY LOCK ON A 1996 VEHICLE. THE
10-BIT LOCKS ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THIS TSB AND MUST BE SERVICED BY REPLACING
THE COMPLETE LOCK SET. THE TWO STYLES ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE.

^ For ignition lock concerns, see appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 11-04 or
Workshop Manual, Section 211-04.
^ Other lock concerns, see appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 01-14A or Workshop
Manual, Section 501-14.
Obtain the lock service package for the vehicle being serviced by referring to the Part Number And
Usage Chart for correct application.
Determine the matching key cut depth at each key station (any of the following three methods may
be used to determine the key cut depth at each key station).
^ Use the OEM key code provided with the vehicle and look up the cut pattern in the key code table
(the selling dealer should have the key code or the customer may be able to provide it). A key code
table comes with the Rotunda Key Cutter (011-00215).
^ Use a "key decoder" to determine each cut height. A decoder may be included with the Rotunda
Key Cutter or can be ordered separately through Rotunda (Decoder Part Number 011-RMT61).
Equivalent decoders are commonly available through the locksmith industry. A key decoder is a
plate with an elongated slot corresponding to the different key cut heights.
^ Using the customers key, measure the key cut depth at each key station using Figure 2 of the
instruction sheet contained within each lock service package.
One of the steps in building a new lock is to insert the key and verify the tumblers are flush to the
cylinder. This step is clearly spelled out in the instruction sheet. This will ensure that the lock is
rebuilt properly before it's installed in the vehicle.
Each lock service package will include a unique detailed instruction sheet on how to re-pin that
individual lock cylinder. If further assistance is needed, call Ford Motor Company toll-free at (800)
826-4694 (direct dial at (313) 248-4200) between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM ET (all U.S. and Canadian
dealers only).
For technical questions regarding the lock service pack re-pinning process, call Ford Interior
Systems at (313) 337-3041.
A special service tool is required to properly install (crimp) the round dust covers on the door lock
cylinder. This special service tool has been provided through a special mailing to all North
American servicing dealers. If additional tools are required, contact Rotunda Tools at (800)
768-8632 (direct dial at (810) 574-2332, ask for OTC order desk) to purchase a new tool
(501-O51A).
NOTE
THE SPECIAL SERVICE TOOL (501-051A) IS NOW COMPATIBLE WITH TAURUS/SABLE

Depowering and Repowering
Supplemental Restraint System ( SRS ) Depowering and Repowering
Depowering Procedure
Warning: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system
(SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event
of an accidental deployment.
Warning: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag
deployment, which can result in personal injury.
Warning: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
Note: The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the ECS fuse is removed and the ignition switch
is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
Note: 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 LH side of the instrument panel, remove the cover and the electronic
crash sensor (ECS)
module fuses F18 (10A) and F10 (10A) from the CJB. For additional information, refer to the Wiring
Diagram Manual.
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.
Warning: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply
must be depleted before repairing or replacing any front or side air bag supplemental restraint
system (SRS) components and before servicing, replacing, adjusting or striking components near
the front air bag sensor, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and
hood latches.
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least
one minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).
6. Disconnect the battery ground cable (14301) and wait at least one minute.
Repowering Procedure
Warning: The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only. Remove from
vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle
safety standards.
1. Make sure all restraint system diagnostic tool(s) that may have been installed during the repair
have been removed from the vehicle and all SRS
components are connected.
2. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON. 3. Install the ECS module fuses F18 (10A) and F10
(10A) to the CJB and install the cover.
Warning: Be sure that nobody is in the vehicle and that there is nothing blocking or set in front of
any air bag module when the battery ground cable is connected.
4. Connect the battery ground cable. 5. Prove out the supplemental restraint system (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 six seconds and then turn off. If an air bag
supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault is present, the air bag indicator will either: 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 electronic crash sensor
(ECS) module 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 five sets of five beeps. If this occurs, the air bag
indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired. Clear all continuous
DTCs from the restraints control module using a scan tool.

Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles. These vehicles have jacking instructions which, if
followed, could cause the vehicle operator to place the jack on a frame weld when attempting to
raise a rear wheel. If the vehicle is jacked up with the jack placed on the frame weld and if the
vehicle is free to roll (wheels not blocked or chocked), the jack could yield and the vehicle may drop
suddenly. If this occurs and any portion of the operator's body is under the vehicle, the potential for
personal injury exists. Owners will be provided with a revised Jack Instruction and Stowage Card
and Jack Warning Label, as well as a supplement to the owner guide. Owner notification began
July 24, 2000. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service
date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Ford at
1-800-392-3673. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety
Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to include vehicles, update model years, and
include a Lock Lever Kit Application Chart.
ISSUE The current door, decklid, ignition, and stowage locks cannot be serviced individually.
Current lock repair practice is to replace the entire lock set (-22050-) when one (1) or more locks
must be replaced. The release of this TSB and associated parts will allow replacement of any
individual malfunctioning lock (i.e., door lock, ignition lock, decklid lock, etc.) instead of replacing
the entire lockset. This TSB only applies to the 8-bit locks introduced in 1996. The 10-bit lock is not
affected.
ACTION Lock service packages have been released that contain all the necessary components to
re-pin a new lock cylinder to the customer's current key code. It allows the service community to
replace the individual lock cylinder on a given vehicle rather than replace the entire lockset. For
removal and installation procedures for all lock cylinders, refer to the following Service Procedure
for details.
NOTE
MOST MODELS BUILT DURING THE 1996 MODEL YEAR HAVE BOTH THE 10-BIT AND 8-BIT
LOCKS ON THEM. CHECK THE BUILD DATE OF THE VEHICLE TO ENSURE THE USE OF
THE CORRECT STYLE OF LOCK WHEN SERVICING ANY LOCK ON A 1996 VEHICLE. THE
10-BIT LOCKS ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THIS TSB AND MUST BE SERVICED BY REPLACING
THE COMPLETE LOCK SET. THE TWO STYLES ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE.

^ For ignition lock concerns, see appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 11-04 or
Workshop Manual, Section 211-04.
^ Other lock concerns, see appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 01-14A or Workshop
Manual, Section 501-14.
Obtain the lock service package for the vehicle being serviced by referring to the Part Number And
Usage Chart for correct application.
Determine the matching key cut depth at each key station (any of the following three methods may
be used to determine the key cut depth at each key station).
^ Use the OEM key code provided with the vehicle and look up the cut pattern in the key code table
(the selling dealer should have the key code or the customer may be able to provide it). A key code
table comes with the Rotunda Key Cutter (011-00215).
^ Use a "key decoder" to determine each cut height. A decoder may be included with the Rotunda
Key Cutter or can be ordered separately through Rotunda (Decoder Part Number 011-RMT61).
Equivalent decoders are commonly available through the locksmith industry. A key decoder is a
plate with an elongated slot corresponding to the different key cut heights.
^ Using the customers key, measure the key cut depth at each key station using Figure 2 of the
instruction sheet contained within each lock service package.
One of the steps in building a new lock is to insert the key and verify the tumblers are flush to the
cylinder. This step is clearly spelled out in the instruction sheet. This will ensure that the lock is
rebuilt properly before it's installed in the vehicle.
Each lock service package will include a unique detailed instruction sheet on how to re-pin that
individual lock cylinder. If further assistance is needed, call Ford Motor Company toll-free at (800)
826-4694 (direct dial at (313) 248-4200) between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM ET (all U.S. and Canadian
dealers only).
For technical questions regarding the lock service pack re-pinning process, call Ford Interior
Systems at (313) 337-3041.
A special service tool is required to properly install (crimp) the round dust covers on the door lock
cylinder. This special service tool has been provided through a special mailing to all North
American servicing dealers. If additional tools are required, contact Rotunda Tools at (800)
768-8632 (direct dial at (810) 574-2332, ask for OTC order desk) to purchase a new tool
(501-O51A).
NOTE
THE SPECIAL SERVICE TOOL (501-051A) IS NOW COMPATIBLE WITH TAURUS/SABLE
DOOR LOCK CYLINDER ROUND DUST COVERS.

A Lock Lever Kit (XF1Z-5421970-AA) containing all the different levels of lock levers needed to
service any vehicle is also required to complete this repair. This kit contains levers to service
numerous vehicles. For pricing individual levers after each use, enter kit part number or the claim
form. This will automatically generate a unit lever price. For an application chart that lists the usage
of all levers included in the kit, refer to Figure 1.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Power Locks > Power Door Lock Control Module > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7947
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Power Locks > Power Door Lock Control Module > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7948
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Power Locks > Power Door Lock Control Module > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7949
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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 TSB article is being republished in its entirety to include vehicles, update model years, and
include a Lock Lever Kit Application Chart.
ISSUE The current door, decklid, ignition, and stowage locks cannot be serviced individually.
Current lock repair practice is to replace the entire lock set (-22050-) when one (1) or more locks
must be replaced. The release of this TSB and associated parts will allow replacement of any
individual malfunctioning lock (i.e., door lock, ignition lock, decklid lock, etc.) instead of replacing
the entire lockset. This TSB only applies to the 8-bit locks introduced in 1996. The 10-bit lock is not
affected.
ACTION Lock service packages have been released that contain all the necessary components to
re-pin a new lock cylinder to the customer's current key code. It allows the service community to
replace the individual lock cylinder on a given vehicle rather than replace the entire lockset. For
removal and installation procedures for all lock cylinders, refer to the following Service Procedure
for details.
NOTE
MOST MODELS BUILT DURING THE 1996 MODEL YEAR HAVE BOTH THE 10-BIT AND 8-BIT
LOCKS ON THEM. CHECK THE BUILD DATE OF THE VEHICLE TO ENSURE THE USE OF
THE CORRECT STYLE OF LOCK WHEN SERVICING ANY LOCK ON A 1996 VEHICLE. THE
10-BIT LOCKS ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THIS TSB AND MUST BE SERVICED BY REPLACING
THE COMPLETE LOCK SET. THE TWO STYLES ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE.

^ For ignition lock concerns, see appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 11-04 or
Workshop Manual, Section 211-04.
^ Other lock concerns, see appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 01-14A or Workshop
Manual, Section 501-14.
Obtain the lock service package for the vehicle being serviced by referring to the Part Number And
Usage Chart for correct application.
Determine the matching key cut depth at each key station (any of the following three methods may
be used to determine the key cut depth at each key station).
^ Use the OEM key code provided with the vehicle and look up the cut pattern in the key code table
(the selling dealer should have the key code or the customer may be able to provide it). A key code
table comes with the Rotunda Key Cutter (011-00215).
^ Use a "key decoder" to determine each cut height. A decoder may be included with the Rotunda
Key Cutter or can be ordered separately through Rotunda (Decoder Part Number 011-RMT61).
Equivalent decoders are commonly available through the locksmith industry. A key decoder is a
plate with an elongated slot corresponding to the different key cut heights.
^ Using the customers key, measure the key cut depth at each key station using Figure 2 of the
instruction sheet contained within each lock service package.
One of the steps in building a new lock is to insert the key and verify the tumblers are flush to the
cylinder. This step is clearly spelled out in the instruction sheet. This will ensure that the lock is
rebuilt properly before it's installed in the vehicle.
Each lock service package will include a unique detailed instruction sheet on how to re-pin that
individual lock cylinder. If further assistance is needed, call Ford Motor Company toll-free at (800)
826-4694 (direct dial at (313) 248-4200) between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM ET (all U.S. and Canadian
dealers only).
For technical questions regarding the lock service pack re-pinning process, call Ford Interior
Systems at (313) 337-3041.
A special service tool is required to properly install (crimp) the round dust covers on the door lock
cylinder. This special service tool has been provided through a special mailing to all North
American servicing dealers. If additional tools are required, contact Rotunda Tools at (800)
768-8632 (direct dial at (810) 574-2332, ask for OTC order desk) to purchase a new tool
(501-O51A).
NOTE

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Mirrors > Power Mirror Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7994
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Mirrors > Power Mirror Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7995
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Mirrors > Power Mirror Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7996
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.

A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8045
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8093
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Power Seat Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8112
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Power Seat Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8113
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Audible Warning Device > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8289
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Audible Warning Device > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8290
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Audible Warning Device > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8291
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.

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.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Clock > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8349
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Clock > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8350
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Clock > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8351
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

Depowering and Repowering
Supplemental Restraint System ( SRS ) Depowering and Repowering
Depowering Procedure
Warning: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system
(SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event
of an accidental deployment.
Warning: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag
deployment, which can result in personal injury.
Warning: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
Note: The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the ECS fuse is removed and the ignition switch
is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
Note: 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 LH side of the instrument panel, remove the cover and the electronic
crash sensor (ECS)
module fuses F18 (10A) and F10 (10A) from the CJB. For additional information, refer to the Wiring
Diagram Manual.
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.
Warning: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply
must be depleted before repairing or replacing any front or side air bag supplemental restraint
system (SRS) components and before servicing, replacing, adjusting or striking components near
the front air bag sensor, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and
hood latches.
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least
one minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).
6. Disconnect the battery ground cable (14301) and wait at least one minute.
Repowering Procedure
Warning: The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only. Remove from
vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle
safety standards.
1. Make sure all restraint system diagnostic tool(s) that may have been installed during the repair
have been removed from the vehicle and all SRS
components are connected.
2. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON. 3. Install the ECS module fuses F18 (10A) and F10
(10A) to the CJB and install the cover.
Warning: Be sure that nobody is in the vehicle and that there is nothing blocking or set in front of
any air bag module when the battery ground cable is connected.
4. Connect the battery ground cable. 5. Prove out the supplemental restraint system (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 six seconds and then turn off. If an air bag
supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault is present, the air bag indicator will either: 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 electronic crash sensor
(ECS) module 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 five sets of five beeps. If this occurs, the air bag
indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired. Clear all continuous
DTCs from the restraints control module using a scan tool.

Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Fuel Gauge > Component Information >
Testing and Inspection > Conventional
Fuel Gauge: Testing and Inspection Conventional
The fuel gauge receives the fuel level resistance from the fuel level sensor, part of the fuel pump
module. To prevent the fuel gauge pointer from fluctuating as a result of excessive movement of
fuel in the fuel tank, the fuel indicator module provides a delay to the fuel gauge. If the fuel level is
low, the resistance in the fuel level sensor will be low, causing the gauge to indicate empty (E).
When the fuel level is high, the resistance in the fuel level sensor is high, and the gauge indicates
full (F). The fuel gauge and the fuel indicator module must be replaced together. The fuel indicator
module also turns on the low fuel indicator when the fuel gauge shows approximately one-eighth of
a tank of fuel remaining or less.

Fuel Gauge: Testing and Inspection Electronic
The fuel level is displayed on a digital bar gauge using eight bars top to bottom. Fuel remaining is
displayed in the fuel/temperature gauge. For fuel levels greater than 70 liters (18 gal), the letter F
(full) is displayed. For fuel levels less than 3 liters (2 gal), the letter E (empty) is displayed. The
digital displays are based on varying current flow from the fuel level sensor. The instrument cluster
also contains self diagnostics for the fuel gauge.

Depowering Procedure
Warning: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system
(SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event
of an accidental deployment.
Warning: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag
deployment, which can result in personal injury.
Warning: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
Note: The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the ECS fuse is removed and the ignition switch
is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
Note: 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 LH side of the instrument panel, remove the cover and the electronic

NOTE: The belt minder feature is configurable. If configuring using a scan tool, refer to Module
Communications Network (Information Bus). To configure without using a scan tool, refer to Belt
Minder Deactivation/Activation.
The belt minder feature supplements the current safety belt warning function. The belt minder
feature is enabled after the current safety belt warning is complete. If the driver safety belt is not
buckled approximately five seconds after the safety belt warning light has turned off, the belt
minder reminds the driver that their safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and
illuminating the safety belt warning lamp in the instrument cluster. While activated, the belt minder
alternates the chime and indicator from on for 6 seconds to off for 30 seconds.
The belt minder reminder stops when:
- the driver safety belt is buckled.
- the ignition is turned to OFF or ACC.
- five minutes have elapsed since belt minder has started.

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

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 8527
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 8528
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 8529
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Camshaft Position Sensor
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor
identifies when piston No. 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) and used for synchronizing the firing of sequential fuel injectors. The Coil
On Plug (COP) Ignition applications also use the CMP signal to select the proper ignition coil to
fire. The input circuit to the PCM is referred to as the CMP input or circuit.
Typical Hall-Effect Sensor
Typical Variable Reluctant Sensor
There are two types of CMP sensors: the three pin connector Hall-effect type sensor and the two
pin connector variable reluctance sensor.

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

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

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Cornering Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8619
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Cornering Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8620
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Cornering Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8621
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.

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.

System Description
Courtesy Lamp: Description and Operation System Description
The interior lighting can be separated into two distinct modes of operation, the courtesy lighting,
and the demand lighting. The Lighting Control Module (LCM) controls all of the interior lighting in
the vehicle, in the following text.
The front dome lamps, rear reading lamps, and instrument panel courtesy lamps, can be
illuminated either by opening any of the vehicle doors (courtesy lamp function) or by depressing the
headlamp switch (demand lamp function).
When any door is open, the door ajar switch grounds an input to the LCM which then sends power
to the courtesy lamps. The voltage sent to the courtesy lamps gradually increases from 0 volts to
12 volts within 500 ms (± 50 ms), to achieve the theater lighting effect. When the door(s) are closed
the door ajar switch(es) break(s) the ground to the LCM input which then gradually reduces the
power from 12 volts to 0 volts within 5 seconds.(±.5 second).
When the headlamp switch is depressed it grounds an input the LCM which in turn sends 12 volts
to the front dome lamps, rear reading lamps, and instrument panel courtesy lamps. When the
headlamp switch is depressed a second time, it breaks the ground to the LCM input which then
ceases to send power to the front dome lamps, rear reading lamps, and instrument panel courtesy
lamps.
The front map lamps, rear reading lamps, glove compartment lamp, vanity mirror lamp, luggage
compartment lamp, and engine compartment lamp, (police and natural gas vehicles only) are
provided with power by the LCM demand lighting output, and are illuminated when a dedicated
switch closes, completing the ground circuit for the appropriate lamp(s). As the LCM provides
constant power to the demand lamps, there is no ramp up or ramp down time, the illumination is
instantaneous once the appropriate switch is closed.
When a door handle is lifted, or a keypad button is depressed, it grounds an input to the LCM
which then illuminates the interior lighting using the theater lighting feature. When the unlock button
on a remote keyless entry transmitter is depressed, the DDM sends a pulse signal to the LCM
which then illuminates the interior lighting using the theater lighting feature. In either instance the
interior lamps will extinguish after the time-out using the theater lighting feature. If a lock button on
the remote keyless entry transmitter is depressed, or the ignition is turned to the run or acc
position, it will extinguish the interior lamps prior to the end of the time-out.
The dark car feature is a special order option that offers deletion of the illuminated entry function on
police vehicles.
Upon vehicle power-up, the LCM will monitor the dark car input signal for a ground condition of
longer than two seconds. If the ground is present, no interior lighting will be provided during entry
or exit of the vehicle. The interior lighting will, however, still operate on demand whenever the
dome lamp switch is depressed.
A ground will be provided to the LCM by an on-line connector within the unique police 14401
instrument panel harness. The male terminal side connector will be retained on a portable clip and
the female terminal connector will be tear-taped to a bundle. If the dark car feature is required, the
connection will be made on the assembly line. If no connection is made the default state of the
LCM will be to provide illuminated entry.
The vehicle can be reconfigured by removing the power to the module, changing the dark car input
from (or to) a ground or an open circuit, and then reapplying power to the module. The vehicle can
also be reconfigured by changing the dark car input signal from (or to) a ground or an open circuit,
entering diagnostics, and then exiting diagnostics.
The battery saver will disrupt power to the courtesy lamps after 10 minutes, the demand lamps
after 30 minutes, and the headlamps after 10 minutes. Turning the ignition switch to the run or acc
position will terminate the battery saver feature by disabling the interrupt timers and reinstate power
to the lamps.
A reset event will set the courtesy lamps interrupt timer to zero. The reset events for the courtesy
lamps interrupt timer are; turning on the courtesy lamps by using the dome lamp switch, opening
any door (as detected by the door ajar switches).
A reset event will set the demand lamps interrupt timer to zero. The reset events for the demand
lamps interrupt timer are; opening the luggage compartment door, opening any door (as detected
by the door ajar switches)
When the panic button on a keyless entry remote transmitter is pressed, or an anti-theft system
violation occurs, the panic alarm or anti-theft alarm function will override the courtesy lamps,
demand lamps and headlamps battery saver functions for the duration of the alarm.

the door ajar switch(es) break(s) the ground to the LCM input which then gradually reduces the
power from 12 volts to 0 volts within 5 seconds.(±.5 second).
When the headlamp switch is depressed it grounds an input the LCM which in turn sends 12 volts
to the front dome lamps, rear reading lamps, and instrument panel courtesy lamps. When the
headlamp switch is depressed a second time, it breaks the ground to the LCM input which then
ceases to send power to the front dome lamps, rear reading lamps, and instrument panel courtesy
lamps.
The front map lamps, rear reading lamps, glove compartment lamp, vanity mirror lamp, luggage
compartment lamp, and engine compartment lamp, (police and natural gas vehicles only) are
provided with power by the LCM demand lighting output, and are illuminated when a dedicated
switch closes, completing the ground circuit for the appropriate lamp(s). As the LCM provides
constant power to the demand lamps, there is no ramp up or ramp down time, the illumination is
instantaneous once the appropriate switch is closed.
When a door handle is lifted, or a keypad button is depressed, it grounds an input to the LCM
which then illuminates the interior lighting using the theater lighting feature. When the unlock button
on a remote keyless entry transmitter is depressed, the DDM sends a pulse signal to the LCM
which then illuminates the interior lighting using the theater lighting feature. In either instance the
interior lamps will extinguish after the time-out using the theater lighting feature. If a lock button on
the remote keyless entry transmitter is depressed, or the ignition is turned to the run or acc
position, it will extinguish the interior lamps prior to the end of the time-out.
The dark car feature is a special order option that offers deletion of the illuminated entry function on
police vehicles.
Upon vehicle power-up, the LCM will monitor the dark car input signal for a ground condition of
longer than two seconds. If the ground is present, no interior lighting will be provided during entry
or exit of the vehicle. The interior lighting will, however, still operate on demand whenever the
dome lamp switch is depressed.
A ground will be provided to the LCM by an on-line connector within the unique police 14401
instrument panel harness. The male terminal side connector will be retained on a portable clip and
the female terminal connector will be tear-taped to a bundle. If the dark car feature is required, the
connection will be made on the assembly line. If no connection is made the default state of the
LCM will be to provide illuminated entry.
The vehicle can be reconfigured by removing the power to the module, changing the dark car input
from (or to) a ground or an open circuit, and then reapplying power to the module. The vehicle can
also be reconfigured by changing the dark car input signal from (or to) a ground or an open circuit,
entering diagnostics, and then exiting diagnostics.
The battery saver will disrupt power to the courtesy lamps after 10 minutes, the demand lamps
after 30 minutes, and the headlamps after 10 minutes. Turning the ignition switch to the run or acc
position will terminate the battery saver feature by disabling the interrupt timers and reinstate power
to the lamps.
A reset event will set the courtesy lamps interrupt timer to zero. The reset events for the courtesy
lamps interrupt timer are; turning on the courtesy lamps by using the dome lamp switch, opening
any door (as detected by the door ajar switches).
A reset event will set the demand lamps interrupt timer to zero. The reset events for the demand
lamps interrupt timer are; opening the luggage compartment door, opening any door (as detected
by the door ajar switches)
When the panic button on a keyless entry remote transmitter is pressed, or an anti-theft system
violation occurs, the panic alarm or anti-theft alarm function will override the courtesy lamps,
demand lamps and headlamps battery saver functions for the duration of the alarm.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Exterior Lighting Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8751
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Exterior Lighting Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8752
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Exterior Lighting Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8753
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Illuminated Entry Module <--> [Interior Lighting Module] > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8835
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Illuminated Entry Module <--> [Interior Lighting Module] > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8836
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Illuminated Entry Module <--> [Interior Lighting Module] > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8837
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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 is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Marker Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 8882
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Marker Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 8883
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Marker Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 8884
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.

EVAP CANISTER PURGE VALVE & BRACKET ASSEMBLY (9F933) (SEE FIGURE 2) WILL
PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE VALVE.
5. Install the EVAP Emission Test Port Adapter that is provided with the Rotunda's Smoke Machine
to EVAP Canister Purge Valve test port.
NOTE
SPECIAL PROCEDURES HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED FOR WINDSTAR, LS, THUNDERBIRD &
PZEV FOCUS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A CHECK VALVE THAT WILL PREVENT SMOKE FROM
ENTERING THE FILLER NECK.
6. Connect black smoke hose nozzle tip to the EVAP Emission Test Port Adapter. For all except
Windstar, LS, Thunderbird & PZEV Focus Use NGS or WDS to close CVS. (CVS WILL REOPEN
AFTER NINE (9) MINUTES OF CONTINUOUS OPERATION).
7. For all except Windstar, LS, Thunderbird & PZEV Focus - Remove the fuel cap from the vehicle.
Depress remote starter button: Smoke will be introduced into the EVAP Emission System. Secure
the fuel cap once smoke is seen exiting from the fuel tank's neck area. For Windstar, LS,
Thunderbird & PZEV Focus, do not remove fuel cap. Depress starter button and introduce smoke to
system until it can be seen exiting the CVS (located by filler neck). Once smoke is seen, use NGS
or WDS to close CVS. (CVS WILL REOPEN AFTER NINE (9) MINUTES OF CONTINUOUS
OPERATION).
8. Press and release the remote starter button in intervals of approximately 15 seconds on and 15
seconds off. Use the halogen light provided with the Smoke Machine to look for smoke in the
engine compartment, EVAP hoses to EVAP Canister Purge Valve, CVS, carbon canister and area
around the fuel cap. Wiggle fuel vapor lines to check for leaks. Check for leaks in areas that are
difficult to access, such as connections on top of the tank where connections may be or inside
frame rails. Use the black light to ensure that there are no leaks. If a leak is detected, repair as
necessary. If the leak is not detected from the top, check under the bottom of vehicle. Inspect the
EVAP hoses running to the carbon canister, fuel filler neck, CVS, and EVAP Canister Purge Valve.
Go to LEAK VERIFICATION to verify any repair or if no leak is found.
LEAK VERIFICATION (METERED AIR SYSTEM)
1. Position the selector valve located on the Smoke Machine control panel to "METER".
2. Verify calibration of the flow meter by using the .020" calibrated leak orifice. To do this, insert air
supply hose (transparent hose) nozzle tip into appropriate EVAP System calibrated leak orifice
located on the front of the Smoke Machine panel.
3. TURN ON: Depress the remote starter button. Observe the position of the flow meter indicator
ball. Position the flow meter red pointer flag so it aligns with the measurement of the indicator ball.
Release the button and remove the air supply hose nozzle tip from the EVAP System calibrated
leak orifice.
NOTE
THIS FLOW METER CALIBRATION MEASUREMENT INDICATES THE VEHICLE PASS OR FAIL
CRITERIA BASED ON THE .020" EVAP SYSTEM LEAK STANDARD.

4. Connect the transparent air supply hose nozzle tip into the EVAP Service Test Port adapter.
5. Use NGS or WDS Diagnostic tool to CLOSE the CVS.
6. Depress the remote starter button on the Rotunda's Smoke Leak Detector. The indicator ball in
the flowmeter will go all the way to the top indicating the system is being pressurized. Continue to
depress the remote starter button until the ball stops descending. Once the indicator ball has
stopped descending, observe if it is above or below the red indicator flag. If performing this
verification following a repair, go to Step 7. If performing this verification after performing the
SYSTEM LEAK CHECK (SMOKE TEST PROCEDURE), go to Step 8.
7. Leak Verification After Repair
a. If the measurement is below the indicator flag the system has passed. The test procedure is
complete. Remove the Smoke Machine Test equipment from the vehicle and reconnect the large
EVAP Canister Purge Valve manifold vacuum hose and the test port's green cap.
b. If the measurement is above the indicator flag, repeat SYSTEM LEAK CHECK (SMOKE TEST
PROCEDURE).
8. Leak Verification After Passing SYSTEM LEAK CHECK (SMOKE TEST PROCEDURE)
a. If the measurement is below the indicator flag the system has passed, go to Step 9.
b. If the measurement is above the indicator flag, repeat SYSTEM LEAK CHECK (SMOKE TEST
PROCEDURE).
9. Using WDS Datalogger or NGS select the FTPV PID.
10. Remove Fuel Cap and turn the vehicle's ignition switch to the run position and check the FTPV
PID.
11. The nominal value for the FTPV PID is 2.6V. If the value is greater than 2.8V or less than 2.4V,
the FTP sensor is out of range and should be replaced. Verify the repair by checking to see if the
new sensor is in range. For all except Windstar, LS, Thunderbird & PZEV Focus - if the sensor is
within range, the concern is no longer present. (Windstar, LS, Thunderbird & PZEV Focus go to
Step 12.)
12. For Windstar, LS, Thunderbird & PZEV Focus only verify that filler neck clamps are in good
working order and tightened. Repair as necessary. If no problem is found with clamps, replace the
fuel cap.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS

A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Exterior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8982
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.

A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When

In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.

For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.

Brake Pedal Position Switch: Description and Operation
Brake Pedal Position Switch
Typical Brake Pedal Position Switch
The Brake Pedal Position (BPP) switch is used by the PCM to disengage the transmission torque
converter clutch and on some applications as an input to the idle speed control for idle quality. On
most applications the BPP switch is hard wired to the PCM and supplies battery positive voltage
(B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied. On other applications the BPP switch signal is
broadcast over the SCP link via another module to be received by the PCM.
On applications where the BPP switch is hard wired to the PCM and stoplamp circuit, if all
stoplamp bulbs are burned out (open), high voltage is present at the PCM due to a pull-up resistor
in the PCM. This provides fail-safe operation in the event the circuit to the stoplamp bulbs has
failed.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Tail Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 9124
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Tail Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 9126
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Heated Glass Element > Heated Glass Control Module > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9169
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Heated Glass Element > Heated Glass Control Module > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9170
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Heated Glass Element > Heated Glass Control Module > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9171
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.

The following 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 vehicles may exhibit inoperative electric rear window defroster (heated back lite) grid
lines, integral antenna concerns causing radio reception issues or terminal tabs pulled from the
rear window glass.
ACTION Follow the diagnostic and repair procedures included in this article to inspect and service
rear defroster grid lines, integral antenna concerns or broken terminal tabs.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Warrantable/Non Warrantable repairs
Warrantable grid line repairs typically can be identified by one inoperative grid line with a small
discoloration at the area of concern, approximately the size of a pinhead. Grid line(s) that are
scratched or have the silver material removed are not warrantable and should be addressed with
the customer. Replacement of backglass for grid line or bus bar tarnishing is not a warrantable
repair. Tarnishing of the silver lines or bus bars is a normal condition. Please refer to the Heated
Back Lite Damageability Job Aid for additional information and examples of defects and damage.
NOTE
THE GRID LINE MATERIAL IS NOT EMBEDDED INTO THE GLASS BUT IS BAKED TO THE
GLASS SURFACE AND CONSEQUENTLY CAN BE SCRAPED OFF. INOPERATIVE LINES MAY
APPEAR TO THE EYE TO BE UNDAMAGED DUE TO RESIDUE REMAINING ON
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Rear Defogger > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
A/C/Audio - Defroster/Antenna Grid Diagnosis/Repair > Page 9193
THE GLASS AND WILL REQUIRE DIAGNOSIS WITH A VOLTMETER OR 12V TEST LAMP AS
EXPLAINED IN THIS ARTICLE.
Examples Of Non-Warrantable Grid Line Damage
^ Ice scraper damage to grid lines
^ Animal scratches on grid lines
^ Window tint film/removal of the film which damages grid lines
^ Stickers placed over grids which upon removal, removes the grid line material
^ License plate (steel type placed against the inside of back glass) which rubs on the grid line
causing damage
^ Temporary license plate (paper stuck on to the inside of the back glass) which upon removal
removes grid line material
^ Cargo or lumber rubbing against the glass which removes grid line material
^ Cellular phone antenna installation/removal which damages grid line material
NOTE
AN UNDAMAGED GRIDLINE WILL HAVE SMALL RIDGES THAT PROJECT ABOVE THE
SURFACE OF THE GLASS AND CAN EASILY BE FELT WHEN RUNNING A FINGERNAIL
ACROSS THEM.
GRIDLINES THAT HAVE BEEN "RAZOR BLADED" WILL FEEL SMOOTH WHEN A FINGERNAIL
IS DRAGGED ACROSS THE AFFECTED AREA. THERE MAY BE SOME RESIDUE LEFT ON
THE GLASS THAT APPEARS TO BE GRID MATERIAL BUT A CHECK WITH A VOLTMETER OR
12V TEST LAMP, AS EXPLAINED IN THIS ARTICLE, WILL CONFIRM AN OPEN CIRCUIT. GRID
LINE INOPERATIVE - DIAGNOSTICS
1. Reference Workshop Manual Section 501-11 and the Wiring Diagram Section 56 to verify power
and ground to the back-glass.
2. Connect a test lamp or DVOM to a good body ground.
3. Turn the ignition key to the run position and depress and release the rear defroster button to turn
the system on. THE GRID IS ENERGIZED FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES EACH TIME
THE DEFROSTER BUTTON IS PRESSED.
4. Starting from the top grid line at the center of the back-glass, touch the test lamp or DVOM +
lead to each grid line. (Use caution not to damage grid lines). The DVOM should read
approximately 1/2 of the battery voltage on each line at the center of the back-glass. If using a test
light, the bulb should be approximately the same brightness on each line from top to bottom. If the
DVOM or light indicates a high voltage or no voltage on any grid line, move along the concern grid
line with the + test lead or test lamp until the voltage changes suddenly. This is the area of
concern, use chalk to mark the area of concern and mark the outside of the glass at that same
area.
5. Repair per the Grid Line Repair Procedure.
GRID LINE REPAIR PROCEDURE
NOTE
LONG GAPS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS DUE TO DAMAGE AND ARE NOT WARRANTABLE,
HOWEVER THEY CAN BE REPAIRED. THE LONGER THE GAP THE MORE IMPORTANT IT IS
TO APPLY A MINIMUM SIX (6) COATS OF CONDUCTIVE REPAIR MATERIAL WITH THE FIVE
(5) MINUTE DRY TIME BETWEEN EACH COAT. APPLYING LESS COATS OR NOT ALLOWING
DRY TIME BETWEEN COATS WILL PRODUCE REPAIRED RESISTANCE THAT IS GREATER
THAN OEM RESISTANCE, RESULTING IN POOR DEFROST PERFORMANCE AND
EXCESSIVE LOCALIZED HEATING. REPAIRED LONG GAPS ARE GENERALLY NOT
VISUALLY PLEASING UNLESS EXTREME CARE IS TAKEN WHEN TAPING AFFECTED GRID
LINE AREAS.
NOTE
IF THE BROWN COLOR UNDER THE GRID LINE IS DAMAGED OR MISSING (THIS IS VERY
RARE), IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO APPLY BROWN ACRYLIC LACQUER TOUCH-UP PAINT
FOR COLOR MATCH. THIS PAINT MUST MEET SPECIFICATION ESR-M2P100-C AND
SHOULD BE APPLIED TO THE GLASS PRIOR TO APPLYING THE REAR WINDOW
DEFROSTER REPAIR COMPOUND.

Service inoperative grid lines on rear window glass using Motorcraft Defroster Repair PM-11 or
equivalent meeting Ford specification ESB-M4J58-A as follows:
Surface Preparation
1. Bring vehicle inside and warm it to 60° F (16° C) or above.
2. Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or abrasive window cleaners on the interior surface of
the rear window glass as this may cause damage to the grid lines. Clean the entire grid line service
area with Ultra Clear Spray Glass Cleaner ZC-23 or equivalent meeting Ford specification
ESR-M14P5-A to remove all dirt, wax, grease, oil or other foreign matter. It is important that the
repair area be clean and dry.
NOTE
THE REPAIR AREA HOWEVER SHOULD BE CLEANED WITH STEEL WOOL OR AN ABRASIVE
PAD SUCH AS SCOTCHBRITE TO REMOVE GRIME.
Mixing
The bottle of Rear Window Defroster Repair compound and touch-up paint (if needed) must be at
room temperature. Shake the bottle for at least one (1) minute for thorough mixing. Shake
frequently during use.
Application
1. Mark location of open grid on the outside of the back window glass (performed in diagnostics).
Place protective covering over the package tray as necessary.
2. Using "fine line tape", mask off the area directly above and below open grid line (Figure 1). It is
best to extend the tape 26 mm (1") beyond the concern area in both directions. The open should
be at the center of the mask and tape gap must be no wider than the existing grid line. Other types
of tape may be used but end results of the repair may not appear as visually acceptable due to
ease of application and tape edge finish.
3. If the brown layer of the grid is not broken or missing, apply only the silver grid repair compound
to the open grid line. Apply the correct coating in several smooth continuous strokes (allowing five
(5) minutes drying time between coats) across the open grid line area using the brush applicator in
the cap. Extend the service coating at least 6 mm (.25") on both sides of the open grid line area.
Apply a minimum of six (6) coats of the grid repair compound.
4. If both brown and silver layers of the grid are broken or missing, apply a coating of brown
lacquer touch-up paint across the open line area first. Take care to paint only the area missing the
color. Two (2) coats may be necessary to obtain the proper color. Allow the touch-up paint to dry at
least five (5) minutes between coats. Apply six (6) coats of grid repair compound.
NOTE
THE INTERIOR SIDE OF THE GRID LINES ARE NOT PAINTED, BUT DUE TO THE SILVER
TARNISHING WILL TEND TO CHANGE THE GRID TO A GOLD OR BROWN COLOR. THE
REPAIRED AREA WILL BE BRIGHT SILVER AND WILL ALSO TARNISH OVER

A/C/Audio - Defroster/Antenna Grid Diagnosis/Repair > Page 9195
TIME TO MATCH THE REST OF THE GRID.
5. After five (5) minutes of dry time of the final coat of grid repair compound, remove the tape, step
outside and inspect the repaired area. If the repair compound is visible above or below the grid, the
excess can be removed. This may be done by placing a single-edge razor blade on the back
window glass parallel to grid and scrape gently toward grid. A wider/thicker line will perform better
but may not be cosmetically appealing.
CAUTION
BE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE GRID LINE WITH RAZOR BLADE. VERIFY ALL OF THE GRID
LINES FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN FINISHED.
Curing
The service coating will air-dry in approximately one (1) minute and the system can be energized
after five minutes. Maximum hardness and adhesion occur after approximately 24 hours.
SOLDER METHOD OF LEAD TERMINAL
NOTE
THE REAR WINDOW MUST BE AT A MINIMUM OF 60° F (16° C) BEFORE A REPAIR IS MADE.
PLACE PROTECTIVE COVERING OVER THE PACKAGE TRAY AS NECESSARY.
The new terminal will cover the original terminal location, but must be placed so that the new
terminal conductive areas will be placed on a good conductive base. This area should be cleaned
with steel wool or an abrasive pad to remove grime from the buss-bar. The area should then be
cleaned with Ultra Clear Spray Glass Cleaner, ZC-23, or equivalent meeting Ford specification
ESR-M14P5-A to remove all dirt, wax, grease, oil or other foreign matter. It is important that the
repair area be clean and dry and appear metallic. Depending on the buss-bar condition, rigorous
polishing with steel wool may be required. Please note that the entire buss-bar may be cleaned to
improve appearance.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF FLAME TORCH OR FLAME HEATED SOLDERING GUN FOR THIS
PROCEDURE. TESTING INDICATED INADEQUATE HEAT GENERATION AT THE TIP AND THE
EXHAUST HEAT CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO PLASTIC TRIM PARTS IN THE AREA. USE ONLY
AN ELECTRIC SOLDERING GUN WITH 100 WATTS OR MORE OF POWER.
BEFORE USING THE SOLDERING GUN, BE SURE TO MELT A SMALL AMOUNT OF ROSIN
CORE SOLDER TO THE TIP. THE SOLDER WILL ASSIST IN ACHIEVING BETTER HEAT
TRANSFER FROM THE SOLDERING GUN TIP TO THE NEW TERMINAL.
The new terminal has pre-applied solder, flux and temperature sensitive paint. The paint provides a
visual indication when the terminal has reached the proper temperature to melt the solder on the
terminal. When the proper temperature is achieved the temperature paint will liquefy and change
color.

A/C/Audio - Defroster/Antenna Grid Diagnosis/Repair > Page 9196
Use terminal type A (Figure 2) for all tab locations except on the Focus vehicle line. For the Focus,
use type B (Figure 3).
NOTE
DEPENDING ON THE ORIGINAL TERMINAL LOCATION, AND WHETHER THE TERMINAL IS
COVERED BY PILLAR TRIM, WILL DETERMINE WHERE TO LOCATE THE NEW TERMINAL.
SOME GRID LINE BUSS-BARS MAY ONLY ALLOW THE PLACEMENT OF THE TERMINAL
ABOVE OR BELOW THE ORIGINAL TAB LOCATION DUE TO SPACE LIMITATIONS, BUT FOR
MOST VEHICLE APPLICATIONS THE REPLACEMENT TAB LOCATION WILL COVER THE
ORIGINAL TAB LOCATION BUT STILL ALLOW THE REPLACEMENT TAB TO ATTACH TO THE
BUSS-BAR ON GOOD CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL.
1. Place the replacement terminal over the original tab location making sure the conductive areas
of the terminal will be on a good conductive area. Do not place the terminal tab foot on the original
location which does not have conductive material (figure 4).
2. Hold the terminal in place with an item such as regular lead pencil at a 90 degree angle from the
terminal. (Terminal type B can be held in place with tape.) (Holding at other than a 90 degree angle
may allow the terminal to slip when the solder liquefies).
3. Place the soldering gun tip on the top of the terminal but not on the painted areas of the tab.
Energize the soldering gun and watch for the painted area of the terminal to liquefy and change
color. The paint should liquefy in approximately 25-45 seconds after heating. As soon as the paint
color completely changes on either side of the terminal, de-energize the soldering gun and
continue to hold the terminal in place with the soldering gun and pencil for an additional thirty (30)
seconds.
4. Remove the soldering gun and pencil from the terminal. The terminal should be allowed to cool
for another two (2) minutes before the wiring lead is attached to the terminal.
5. Attach the electrical lead connection to this terminal, turn on the rear defroster, and verify
operation.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
^ Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
^ Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
^ Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Relays and Modules - Windows and Glass > Heated Glass Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9212
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Relays and Modules - Windows and Glass > Heated Glass Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9213
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Relays and Modules - Windows and Glass > Heated Glass Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9214
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.

Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9244
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9245
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Relays and Modules - Windows and Glass > Power Window Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9246
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
^ Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
^ The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
^ Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
^ Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
^ Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Windows > Power Window Control Module > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9313
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Windows > Power Window Control Module > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9314
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
^ Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
^ Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). ^
If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Crown Victoria Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L VIN W (2000))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Windows > Power Window Control Module > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9315
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following 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.

power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for

If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
^ If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.

For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
