4WABS Control Module: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The ECU monitors system operation during normal driving as well as during anti-lock braking.
OPERATION
Under normal driving conditions, the microprocessors produce short test pulses to check the
electrical system without any mechanical reaction. The ECU continuously monitors the speed of
each wheel to determine if any wheel is beginning to lock. When a wheel locking tendency is
detected, the ECU signals the appropriate solenoid valve in the hydraulic control unit to open or
close as well as the pump motor to turn on and recycle brake fluid back to the master cylinder. This
results in moderate pulsations of the brake pedal and pump noise which may be heard in the
passenger compartment. During normal braking, the brake pedal feel will be identical to a standard
brake system.
Most concerns which occur to the anti-lock brake system will be stored as a coded number in the
Keep-Alive Memory (KAM) of the ECU. This means that once a code is stored, it will be retained by
the ECU even with the key in the OFF position. The codes can be retrieved by following the
on-board diagnostic procedures. Refer to Diagnosis and Testing.
CONSTRUCTION
It is an on-board diagnostic, non-repairable unit consisting of two microprocessors and the
necessary circuitry for their operation. These microprocessors are programmed identically.
LOCATION
The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is located in the engine compartment behind the driver's side
headlamp on a bracket mounted on the surface of the plastic fender apron.

Powertrain Control Module: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the signals from various input sensors and
calculates the proper operating strategy for the engine operating conditions.
In addition to normal operating strategy the PCM calculates/learns an adaptive strategy that
compensates for normal wearing and aging of components.
The PCM also provides for self-diagnostic testing. When the ignition is turned on the PCM is
continuously checking its inputs and outputs for values out of specification. Any discrepancies are
recorded as diagnostic trouble codes.
The PCM also provides for operator initiated self-tests. These tests check for specific input values
and output states under defined conditions.
Note: Incorrect testing conditions and minor procedural deviations often result in false trouble
codes and inaccurate information. When initiating self-tests technicians should verify that all
required conditions are met.
OPERATION
The PCM continuously monitors input signals and compares these values to calibration information
stored in its memory.
The PCM's calibration assembly contains the necessary programming to fine-tune the PCM's
engine calibration commands to the vehicle's weight, axle ratio, and transmission application. The
calibration assembly is an integral part of the PCM and is not replaceable.
The PCM determines the correct operating strategy and makes the necessary corrections to its
output signals.

Service and Repair > Reset Procedure
Powertrain Control Module: Reset Procedure
KEEP ALIVE MEMORY AND ADAPTIVE STRATEGY
The EEC-IV system constantly monitors and adjusts the PCM calibration to correct for normal wear
and aging of components. The PCM uses these calibration adjustments to shift fuel delivery
calculations and idle speed specifications to compensate for the aging of the vehicle.
When an Electronic Engine Controls (EEC) system component is replaced, the Keep Alive Memory
(KAM) should be cleared to erase the information stored by the processor from the original
component.
CLEARING KEEP ALIVE MEMORY
To clear the KAM, disconnect the battery negative terminal for five minutes or more (preferably 15
minutes).
ADAPTIVE STRATEGY RELEARN PROCEDURE
After repairs have been made and the KAM cleared drive the the vehicle for at least ten miles to
allow the PCM to relearn the values for optimum performance.
NOTE: During the ten mile relearn drive, the vehicle may exhibit some driveability symptoms.
These should be eliminated when the KAM has relearned the operating values.

Powertrain Control Module: Removal and Replacement
Powertrain Control Module
NOTE: When the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive
symptoms may occur while the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) relearns its adaptive strategy.
The vehicle may need to be driven 10 miles or more to relearn the strategy.
REMOVAL
1. Open hood and disconnect negative battery cable.
2. Remove two screws and right cowl side panel.
3. Disconnect PCM electrical connector.
4. Remove three screws and PCM bracket.
5. Disconnect PCM from connector and remove.
INSTALLATION

PCM Power Relay: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) power relay provides power to the PCM. The PCM power
relay also provides reverse battery protection for the PCM and related actuator assemblies.
CONSTRUCTION
The relay is a single pole double throw type. This relay does not have an internal diode and is used
with a separate stand alone diode.
OPERATION
The PCM power relay is energized in "RUN" or "START" through the ignition switch. When
energized, battery voltage (B+) flows through the relay. This voltage powers the PCM and its
outputs.
When the ignition switch is turned "OFF", the relay de-energizes, stopping B+ to the PCM.

Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation
OPERATION
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) power relay is
energized, providing power to the fuel pump relay for 1 to 2 seconds through the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) and an Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch.
Fuel pump power is provided through the fuel pump relay contacts, if the PCM does not receive an
ignition signal within approximately one second after the ignition switch is turned to the "ON"
position. A timer circuit in the PCM will open the ground circuit to the fuel pump relay, causing the
fuel pump relay contacts to OPEN. This action stops the power supply to the fuel pump.
When the ignition switch is turned to the "START" position, the PCM closes the ground circuit to
the fuel pump relay, resuming operation of the fuel pump.
After the ignition switch is returned to the "ON" position, power to the fuel pump is supplied through
the fuel pump relay.
The PCM monitors engine speed and opens the fuel pump relay ground circuit if the engine speed
drops below 120 rpm.

ISSUE: Some vehicles may have a disconnect of the Ignition Control Module (ICM) connector or
moisture buildup within the connector. This can cause hard to start/no start, rough idle, or "check
engine light" illumination concerns. The improved gasket and connector retainer that are currently
used in production are now available for service of prior model distributorless ignition systems.
ACTION: Install new Connector Sleeve Retainer Clip and a current production seal (gasket). The
clip assembles in between the connector beams and the ICM which will prevent accidental
disconnects. The new seal is a "solid silicone" gasket that provides improved resistance to
moisture entry into the connector. Refer to the ICM Connector Harness Wire Service kit
(F5CZ-14A411-AA) for service details (I.S. 6621).

Ignition Control Module: Description and Operation
EDIS Module
PURPOSE
The Electronic Distributorless Ignition System (EI), formerly (EDIS)module's primary function is to
deliver full energy spark at a crank angle targeted by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and to
provide the PCM with crankshaft position information.
DESCRIPTION
The EI control module is a twelve pin custom microprocessor-based thick film module. Although
each engine is very different in size and structure, ICM's for each engine are very similar. With the
exception of some pin assignments, basic operation of the EI systems for the different engines is
identical.
OPERATION
The EI control module (ICM) receives input from the Variable Reluctance Sensor (VRS) style
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor in order to identify the passing of the missing tooth on the VRS
trigger wheel.
Synchronization
The module is said to be "synchronized" when the missing tooth is found. Synchronization is
essential to the ICM in order to track the angular position of the crankshaft relative to a fixed
reference and when it should fire the proper coil.
Profile Ignition Pickup
Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) output is synthesized by the ICM using input from the VRS signal. The
PIP signal generated by the ICM indicates engine speed and crankshaft position to the PCM. The
PIP signal is used by the PCM so that it can enable fuel and spark functions and generate a Spark
Angle Word (SAW) signal.
Spark Angle Word
The SAW signal provides spark targeting information to the ICM. By decoding the SAW signal and
using the information it receives from the VRS, the ICM turns the coils on and off at correct times
and in proper sequence. The EI system operates at a high data rate so it can fire sparks more
accurately.

Acceleration Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The G-switch detects and indicates to the anti-lock brake control module whether or not the vehicle
is moving.
OPERATION
The G-switch is used on 4x4 vehicles only. When driven in the 4-wheel drive mode all four wheels
are mechanically linked and a situation could arise in which one wheel locks up and causes all four
wheels to lock up and skid. The speed sensors would indicate the vehicle speed as zero. Without
the G-switch, the anti-lock brake control module (2B373) would have no data to compare and
would react as if the vehicle were stopped when in fact it is moving.

Axle Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The anti-lock brake system uses three sets of variable-reluctance sensors and toothed speed
sensor rings to determine the rotational speed of each wheel.
OPERATION
The sensors operate on magnetic induction principle. As the teeth on the speed indicator ring
rotate past the stationary sensor, a signal proportional to the speed of the rotation is generated and
sent to the ECU through a twisted-pair wire cable and wiring harness.
LOCATION
The front sensors are attached to the suspension knuckles, and the speed indicator rings are
pressed onto the backside of the rotor. The rear sensor is bolted into the rear axle housing and the
rear speed sensor ring is pressed onto the rear axle carrier assembly.

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
PURPOSE
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor provides an input to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM uses engine coolant temperature data to adjust the fuel injection base pulse
width, EGR flow, and ignition timing.
CONSTRUCTION
The ECT is a two lead thermistor type sensor with a negative temperature coefficient.
Descriptive Schematic
OPERATION
The PCM applies a 5.0 volt reference voltage to the ECT signal lead while the signal return lead is
connected to a common sensor ground.
As the temperature of the engine coolant increases the resistance of the ECT sensor decreases
and correspondingly the voltage drop across the ECT sensor is reduced.
A decrease in engine coolant temperature will increase the resistance of the ECT and raise the
voltage drop across the sensor.
The normal operating range of the ECT is 3.50 volts (50°F) to 0.35 volts (230°F).
Due to its negative temperature coefficient, poor electrical connections or minor increases in
resistance across the ECT circuit harness and ground connections can result in temperature values
that are lower than actual.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 21/116 - The ECT sensor output is out of self-test range, 0.3-3.7 volts.
DTC 61/117 - The ECT sensor output is less than the self-test minimum, 0.2 volts.
DTC 51/118 - The ECT sensor output is greater than the self-test maximum, 4.6 volts.

ISSUE This TSB article is a diagnostic procedure to address vehicles that exhibit lean driveability
symptoms and may or may not have any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored in memory.
ACTION Follow the diagnostic procedures described in the following Service Tip. The revised
diagnostic procedure is a more accurate means of diagnosing the symptoms.
SERVICE TIP
MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) DISCUSSION
MAF sensors can get contaminated from a variety of sources: dirt, oil, silicon, spider webs, potting
compound from the sensor itself, etc. When a MAF sensor gets contaminated, it skews the transfer
function such that the sensor over-estimates air flow at idle (causes the fuel system to go rich) and
under-estimates air flow at high air flows (causes fuel system to go lean). This means Long Term
Fuel Trims will learn lean (negative) corrections at idle and learn rich (positive) corrections at higher
air flows.
If vehicle is driven at Wide Open Throttle (WOT) or high loads, the fuel system normally goes open
loop rich to provide maximum power. If the MAF sensor is contaminated, the fuel system will
actually be lean because of under-estimated air flow. During open loop fuel operation, the vehicle
applies Long Term Fuel Trim corrections that have been learned during closed loop operation.
These corrections are often lean corrections learned at lower air flows. This combination of
under-estimated air flow and lean fuel trim corrections can result in spark knock/detonation and
lack of power concerns at WOT and high loads.
One of the indicators for diagnosing this condition is barometric pressure. Barometric pressure
(BARO) is inferred by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software at part throttle and WOT
(there is no actual BARO sensor on MAF-equipped vehicles, except for the 3.8L Supercharged
engine). At high air flows, a contaminated MAF sensor will under-estimate air flow coming into the
engine, hence the PCM infers that the vehicle is operating at a higher altitude. The BARO reading
is stored in Keep Alive Memory (KAM) after it is updated. Other indicators are Long Term Fuel Trim
and MAF

NOTE:
DO NOT DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. IT WILL ERASE KEEP ALIVE MEMORY AND RESET
LONG TERM FUEL TRIM AND BARO TO THEIR STARTING/BASE VALUES. THE BARO
PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION DISPLAY (PID) IS USED FOR THIS DIAGNOSTIC
PROCEDURE. ALL OBDII APPLICATIONS HAVE THIS PID AVAILABLE. THERE ARE SOME
OBDI VEHICLES THAT DO NOT HAVE THE BARO PID, FOR THESE VEHICLES OMIT THE
BARO CHECK AND REFER ONLY TO STEPS 2, 3, AND 4 IN THE DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))

Symptoms > Page 541
1. Look at the BARO PID. Refer to the Barometric Pressure Reference Chart in this article. At sea
level, BARO should read about 159 Hz (29.91 in. Hg). As a reference, Denver, Colorado at 1524
meters (5000 ft.) altitude should be about 144 Hz (24.88 in.Hg). Normal learned BARO variability is
up to +/- 6 Hz (+/- 2 in. Hg.). If BARO indicates a higher altitude than you are not at (7 or more Hz
lower than expected), you may have MAF contamination. If available, Service Bay Diagnostic
System (SBDS) has a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor that can be used as a barometric
pressure reference. Use "MAP/BARO" test under "Powertrain," "Testers and Meters." Ignore the
hookup screen. Connect GP2 to the reference MAP on the following screen.
NOTE
REMEMBER THAT MOST WEATHER SERVICES REPORT A LOCAL BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED TO SEA LEVEL. THE BARO PID, ON THE OTHER
HAND, REPORTS THE ACTUAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE FOR THE ALTITUDE THE
VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED IN. LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS (HIGH AND LOW
PRESSURE AREAS) WILL CHANGE THE LOCAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BY SEVERAL
INCHES OF MERCURY (+/- 3 Hz, +/- 1 in. Hg.).
NOTE
BARO IS UPDATED ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGH THROTTLE OPENINGS.
THEREFORE, A VEHICLE WHICH IS DRIVEN DOWN FROM A HIGHER ALTITUDE MAY NOT
HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE BARO VALUE IN KAM. IF YOU ARE NOT
CONFIDENT THAT BARO HAS BEEN UPDATED, PERFORM THREE OR FOUR HEAVY,
SUSTAINED ACCELERATIONS AT GREATER THAN HALF-THROTTLE TO ALLOW BARO TO
UPDATE.
2. On a fully warmed up engine, look at Long Term Fuel Trim at idle, in Neutral, A/C off, (LONGFT1
and/or LONGFT2 PIDs). If it is more negative than -12%, the fuel system has learned lean
corrections which may be due to the MAF sensor over-estimating air flow at idle. Note that both
Banks 1 and 2 will exhibit negative corrections for 2-bank system. If only one bank of a 2-bank
system has negative corrections, the MAF sensor is probably not contaminated.
3. On a fully warmed up engine, look at MAF voltage at idle, in Neutral, A/C off (MAF V PID). If it's
30% greater than the nominal MAF V voltage listed in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis
(PC/ED) Diagnostic Value Reference Charts for your vehicle, or greater than 1.1 volts as a rough
guide, the MAF sensor is over-estimating air flow at idle.
4. If at least tow of the previous three steps are true, proceed to disconnect the MAF sensor
connector. This puts the vehicle into Failure Mode and Effects Management (FMEM). In FMEM
mode, air flow is inferred by using rpm and throttle position instead of reading the MAF sensor. (In
addition, the BARO value is reset to a base/unlearned value.) If the lean driveability symptoms go
away, the MAF sensor is probably contaminated and should be replaced. If the lean driveability
symptoms do not go away, go to the PC/ED Service Manual for the appropriate diagnostics.
NOTE
DUE TO INCREASINGLY STRINGENT EMISSION/OBDII REQUIREMENTS, IT IS POSSIBLE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH MAF SENSOR CONTAMINATION TO SET FUEL SYSTEM DTCs
AND ILLUMINATE THE MIL WITH NO DRIVEABILITY CONCERNS. DISCONNECTING THE MAF
ON THESE VEHICLES WILL, THEREFORE, PRODUCE NO IMPROVEMENTS IN
DRIVEABILITY. IN THESE CASES, IF THE BARO, LONGFT1, LONGFT2, AND MAF V PIDs
INDICATE THAT THE MAF IS CONTAMINATED, PROCEED TO REPLACE THE MAF SENSOR.
After replacing the MAF sensor, disconnect the vehicle battery (5 minutes, minimum to reset KAM,
or on newer vehicles, use the "KAM Reset" feature on the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester and
verify that the lean driveability symptoms are gone.

SERVICE TIP
MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) DISCUSSION
MAF sensors can get contaminated from a variety of sources: dirt, oil, silicon, spider webs, potting
compound from the sensor itself, etc. When a MAF sensor gets contaminated, it skews the transfer
function such that the sensor over-estimates air flow at idle (causes the fuel system to go rich) and
under-estimates air flow at high air flows (causes fuel system to go lean). This means Long Term
Fuel Trims will learn lean (negative) corrections at idle and learn rich (positive) corrections at higher
air flows.
If vehicle is driven at Wide Open Throttle (WOT) or high loads, the fuel system normally goes open
loop rich to provide maximum power. If the MAF sensor is contaminated, the fuel system will
actually be lean because of under-estimated air flow. During open loop fuel operation, the vehicle
applies Long Term Fuel Trim corrections that have been learned during closed loop operation.
These corrections are often lean corrections learned at lower air flows. This combination of
under-estimated air flow and lean fuel trim corrections can result in spark knock/detonation and
lack of power concerns at WOT and high loads.
One of the indicators for diagnosing this condition is barometric pressure. Barometric pressure
(BARO) is inferred by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software at part throttle and WOT
(there is no actual BARO sensor on MAF-equipped vehicles, except for the 3.8L Supercharged
engine). At high air flows, a contaminated MAF sensor will under-estimate air flow coming into the
engine, hence the PCM infers that the vehicle is operating at a higher altitude. The BARO reading
is stored in Keep Alive Memory (KAM) after it is updated. Other indicators are Long Term Fuel Trim
and MAF

NOTE:
DO NOT DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. IT WILL ERASE KEEP ALIVE MEMORY AND RESET
LONG TERM FUEL TRIM AND BARO TO THEIR STARTING/BASE VALUES. THE BARO
PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION DISPLAY (PID) IS USED FOR THIS DIAGNOSTIC
PROCEDURE. ALL OBDII APPLICATIONS HAVE THIS PID AVAILABLE. THERE ARE SOME
OBDI VEHICLES THAT DO NOT HAVE THE BARO PID, FOR THESE VEHICLES OMIT THE
BARO CHECK AND REFER ONLY TO STEPS 2, 3, AND 4 IN THE DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))

Nov > 98 > Engine - Lean Driveability Symptoms > Page 548
1. Look at the BARO PID. Refer to the Barometric Pressure Reference Chart in this article. At sea
level, BARO should read about 159 Hz (29.91 in. Hg). As a reference, Denver, Colorado at 1524
meters (5000 ft.) altitude should be about 144 Hz (24.88 in.Hg). Normal learned BARO variability is
up to +/- 6 Hz (+/- 2 in. Hg.). If BARO indicates a higher altitude than you are not at (7 or more Hz
lower than expected), you may have MAF contamination. If available, Service Bay Diagnostic
System (SBDS) has a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor that can be used as a barometric
pressure reference. Use "MAP/BARO" test under "Powertrain," "Testers and Meters." Ignore the
hookup screen. Connect GP2 to the reference MAP on the following screen.
NOTE
REMEMBER THAT MOST WEATHER SERVICES REPORT A LOCAL BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED TO SEA LEVEL. THE BARO PID, ON THE OTHER
HAND, REPORTS THE ACTUAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE FOR THE ALTITUDE THE
VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED IN. LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS (HIGH AND LOW
PRESSURE AREAS) WILL CHANGE THE LOCAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BY SEVERAL
INCHES OF MERCURY (+/- 3 Hz, +/- 1 in. Hg.).
NOTE
BARO IS UPDATED ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGH THROTTLE OPENINGS.
THEREFORE, A VEHICLE WHICH IS DRIVEN DOWN FROM A HIGHER ALTITUDE MAY NOT
HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE BARO VALUE IN KAM. IF YOU ARE NOT
CONFIDENT THAT BARO HAS BEEN UPDATED, PERFORM THREE OR FOUR HEAVY,
SUSTAINED ACCELERATIONS AT GREATER THAN HALF-THROTTLE TO ALLOW BARO TO
UPDATE.
2. On a fully warmed up engine, look at Long Term Fuel Trim at idle, in Neutral, A/C off, (LONGFT1
and/or LONGFT2 PIDs). If it is more negative than -12%, the fuel system has learned lean
corrections which may be due to the MAF sensor over-estimating air flow at idle. Note that both
Banks 1 and 2 will exhibit negative corrections for 2-bank system. If only one bank of a 2-bank
system has negative corrections, the MAF sensor is probably not contaminated.
3. On a fully warmed up engine, look at MAF voltage at idle, in Neutral, A/C off (MAF V PID). If it's
30% greater than the nominal MAF V voltage listed in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis
(PC/ED) Diagnostic Value Reference Charts for your vehicle, or greater than 1.1 volts as a rough
guide, the MAF sensor is over-estimating air flow at idle.
4. If at least tow of the previous three steps are true, proceed to disconnect the MAF sensor
connector. This puts the vehicle into Failure Mode and Effects Management (FMEM). In FMEM
mode, air flow is inferred by using rpm and throttle position instead of reading the MAF sensor. (In
addition, the BARO value is reset to a base/unlearned value.) If the lean driveability symptoms go
away, the MAF sensor is probably contaminated and should be replaced. If the lean driveability
symptoms do not go away, go to the PC/ED Service Manual for the appropriate diagnostics.
NOTE
DUE TO INCREASINGLY STRINGENT EMISSION/OBDII REQUIREMENTS, IT IS POSSIBLE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH MAF SENSOR CONTAMINATION TO SET FUEL SYSTEM DTCs
AND ILLUMINATE THE MIL WITH NO DRIVEABILITY CONCERNS. DISCONNECTING THE MAF
ON THESE VEHICLES WILL, THEREFORE, PRODUCE NO IMPROVEMENTS IN
DRIVEABILITY. IN THESE CASES, IF THE BARO, LONGFT1, LONGFT2, AND MAF V PIDs
INDICATE THAT THE MAF IS CONTAMINATED, PROCEED TO REPLACE THE MAF SENSOR.
After replacing the MAF sensor, disconnect the vehicle battery (5 minutes, minimum to reset KAM,
or on newer vehicles, use the "KAM Reset" feature on the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester and
verify that the lean driveability symptoms are gone.

Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow Sensor
PURPOSE
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor measures the total volume and mass of air flowing into the
engine. This value is one of the major factors used by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in
determining the fuel injection base pulse width and ignition timing advance.
CONSTRUCTION
The MAF sensor is located directly in the air flow path between the air cleaner housing and the
throttle body. The sensor is designed and located such that all air entering the intake manifold must
flow through it. Located in the MAF sensor directly in the airstream are two platinum wires, a hot
wire heated by electrical current and a cold reference wire. The MAF sensor uses the air flow
across these wires to calculate its output.
OPERATION
The MAF sensor operates on the principle that if the hot wire is maintained at a constant
temperature above ambient, the thermal loss exhibited by the hot wire is proportional to the total
mass of air flowing across it.
The sensor maintains the hot wire exactly 200°C (392°F) hotter than the reference (cold) wire. The
MAF sensor then measures the amount of electrical current required to maintain this temperature
difference and converts this value to an analog DC voltage. This output varies directly with the
mass air flow rate and ranges from 0.5 to 4.5 volts.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 129 - Insufficient MAF sensor output change during the dynamic response (snap throttle) test.
DTC 157 - MAF sensor output went below the minimum value of 0.4 volts (continuous memory
code).
DTC 158 - MAF sensor output went above the maximum value of 4.5 volts (continuous memory
code).
DTC 159 - MAF sensor output was measured out of range during a self-test, >0.7 volts during the
Key On Engine Off (KOEO) test and not between 0.2-1.5 volts during the Key On Engine Running
(KOER) test.
DTC 184 - MAF sensor output is higher than expected.
DTC 185 - MAF sensor output is lower than expected.
Note: DTC 184, 185 were intended to detect in-range failures of the MAF sensor. The PCM
compares information from the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, throttle position sensor, and fuel
injection pulse width. If any one value appears to be out of line with the other two an in-range
trouble code will be set.

Clutch Pedal Position Switch: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch provides an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM),
allowing it to compensate for changes in engine load resulting from clutch operation. The PCM
adjusts the idle speed and air/fuel ratio according to input from the CPP switch.
OPERATION
A 5.0 volt reference signal is applied to the CPP from the PCM. The CPP switch is open with the
clutch pedal up and closed when down. When the switch is closed it applies ground, through the
signal return circuit, to the CPP circuit, informing the PCM that the clutch pedal is depressed.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 528 - CPP circuit failure, during Key On Engine OFF (KOEO) self-test or while cranking the
PCM sensed a high voltage (clutch pedal not depressed) on the CPP circuit.

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
PURPOSE
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor provides an input to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM uses engine coolant temperature data to adjust the fuel injection base pulse
width, EGR flow, and ignition timing.
CONSTRUCTION
The ECT is a two lead thermistor type sensor with a negative temperature coefficient.
Descriptive Schematic
OPERATION
The PCM applies a 5.0 volt reference voltage to the ECT signal lead while the signal return lead is
connected to a common sensor ground.
As the temperature of the engine coolant increases the resistance of the ECT sensor decreases
and correspondingly the voltage drop across the ECT sensor is reduced.
A decrease in engine coolant temperature will increase the resistance of the ECT and raise the
voltage drop across the sensor.
The normal operating range of the ECT is 3.50 volts (50°F) to 0.35 volts (230°F).
Due to its negative temperature coefficient, poor electrical connections or minor increases in
resistance across the ECT circuit harness and ground connections can result in temperature values
that are lower than actual.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 21/116 - The ECT sensor output is out of self-test range, 0.3-3.7 volts.
DTC 61/117 - The ECT sensor output is less than the self-test minimum, 0.2 volts.
DTC 51/118 - The ECT sensor output is greater than the self-test maximum, 4.6 volts.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor provides base timing and engine speed information to the
Ignition Control Module (ICM). The ICM supplies this information to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) as the Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) signal. The PCM uses this information for fuel injector
timing and calculating ignition timing advance and dwell.
CONSTRUCTION
The CKP is a variable reluctance type sensor that monitors the movement of a 35 tooth wheel
located behind the crankshaft pulley.
EI Ignition System Oscilloscope Waveform
OPERATION
As the teeth on the crankshaft pass by the CKP a voltage is induced in the sensor. The CKP output
is a spiked sine wave that is proportional to crankshaft speed and position. The missing tooth (36
minus 1) design allows the ICM to synchronize the signal and select the correct coil to fire.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Intake Air Temperature Sensor
PURPOSE
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor measures the temperature of the incoming air flow. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses this information to adjust the fuel injection base pulse
width, EGR flow, and ignition timing.
CONSTRUCTION
The IAT is a two lead thermistor type sensor with a negative temperature coefficient and is located
in the intake air flow path.
Descriptive Schematic
OPERATION
The PCM applies a 5.0 volt reference voltage to the IAT signal lead while the signal return lead is
connected to a common sensor ground. As the temperature of the incoming air increases the
resistance of the IAT decreases and the voltage drop across the IAT decreases.
A decrease in air temperature will increase the resistance of the IAT and raise the voltage drop
across the sensor.
The normal operating range of the IAT is 3.50 volts (50°F) to 1.02 volts (158°F).
Note: Due to its negative temperature coefficient minor increases in resistance across the IAT
circuit harness and ground connections can result in temperature values that are much lower than
actual.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to update model applicability and to revise the
part number of the Low Volatility Sealant.
ISSUE: EGO sensors can be contaminated if volatile types of silicone are used when servicing the

service. They are commonly found in liquid "silicone rubber" sealants and gasket material. These
products are commonly sold in tubes and caulking-type cartridges.
ACTION: When service is performed on the engine, only use new low volatility silicone sealant
(F1AZ-19662-A) where specified. Also replace the contaminated EGO sensor if required.

Heated Oxygen (HO2S) Sensor: Description and Operation
Heated Oxygen Sensor
PURPOSE
The Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen Sensor(HO2S) detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust
system and produces a variable voltage according to the amount of oxygen present.
When operating in closed loop the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors this input and
correspondingly changes the duration of the fuel injection pulse width to achieve an air/fuel ratio of
14.7:1.
CONSTRUCTION
The sensor is a zirconium dioxide ceramic thimble with a platinum surface electrode. The sensor is
threaded into the exhaust manifold with a sampling tip extending into the exhaust stream.
Heated Oxygen Sensor Operation
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen (HO2S) Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component
Information > Locations > Page 661
OPERATION
The zirconium dioxide in the sensor is electrically sensitive to differences in the amount of oxygen
present between two sources. The outside of the sensor is vented to the atmosphere while the
inside is exposed to the exhaust stream. The differing amounts of oxygen present between the two
sources causes the sensor to generate a voltage.
A rich fuel mixture will result in a low level of oxygen present in the exhaust. This will produce a
larger difference in oxygen levels sensed by the HO2S which will result in a higher voltage being
produced.
A lean fuel mixture will result in a high level of oxygen present in the exhaust. This will produce a
smaller difference in oxygen levels sensed by the HO2S which will result in a lower voltage being
produced.
Normal operating range for the HO2S is 0.0 volts (lean condition) to 1.1 volts (rich condition).
The HO2S temperature must be above 600°F to operate properly. To minimize heat up time, a
heating element is incorporated into the sensor.
Heated Oxygen Sensor
The HO2S uses a 4 wire connection.
- HO2S wire is the sensor output.
- SIG RTN is the sensor ground.
- 12.0 volt power supply for the sensor heater, from the Ignition Run circuit.
- Ground wire for the sensor heater.

ISSUE: The following Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) TSB has been developed for service use.
This TSB includes the following topics:
^ Description And Background Of TPS
^ (A1) and (A2) - Diagnostic Trouble Codes (Service Tips)
^ (B) Troubleshooting The TPS
^ (C) TPS Application Charts
ACTION: If TPS diagnosis or repair is required, refer to the following procedures for service details.
Description
The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is a rotary potentiometer that provides a voltage signal to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that is linearly proportional to the throttle plate/shaft angular
position. The TP sensor has a three-blade electrical connector that is plated. The plating increases
the corrosion resistance on terminals and increases the connector durability. The TP sensor is
mounted on the throttle body and is non-adjustable. As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle
shaft, four (4) operating conditions are determined by the PCM from the TP sensor.
The four (4) vehicle operating conditions are:
^ Closed throttle (idle or deceleration)
^ Part throttle (cruise, moderate acceleration)
^ Wide open throttle (maximum acceleration, de-choke on crank and A/C shut-off)
^ Throttle angle rate.
Background
Recently, revisions have been made to the TPS, which have improved reliability and durability.

A key difference between EEC-IV, OBD I and EEC-V, OBD II is the monitors. EEC-IV monitors are
designed to identify system and component issues. EEC-V monitors are designed to measure the
ability of systems and components to maintain low emission levels.
To minimize the replacement of good components, be advised that the following non-EEC areas
may be the issue:
^ Excessive blow-by
^ PCV malfunction
^ Vacuum leaks
^ Fuel pressure
^ Throttle sticking or linkage binding.
(A2) - EEC-IV Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)
When a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 121, 124 or 125 are set in continuous memory, the
technician is directed to Pinpoint Test G of the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED)
Manual. Pinpoint Test G is named: In-Range MAF/TP/Fuel lnjector Pulse Width Test. The
description of the test is as follows:
^ EEC-IV DTC Code 121, 124, and 125 Description.
This In-Range Self-Test was designed to identify in-range concerns of the MAF sensor, TP sensor,
or the fuel delivery system. The PCM will use information from these three (3) areas based on
vehicle load to generate three (3) independent values. The three (3) independent values will be
continuously monitored by the PCM. If one (1) of the values differs significantly from the others
during normal vehicle operation, a Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be
stored.
EEC codes for the TPS are intended as a supplemental aid to diagnostics. They do not indicate the
root cause since more than one (1) component can set the same code.
For example: EEC-IV, OBD I Codes 122 and 123 and EEC-V, OBD II Codes P0122 and P0123 for
"TP circuit too low" or "TP circuit too high", limit the condition to the TP circuit, connector, or vehicle
harness.
EEC-IV, OBD I Codes: 121, "TP inconsistent with air meter", 124, "TP higher than expected", 125,
"TP lower than expected" and OBD II Code P1121, "TP inconsistent with MAF sensor" are a result
of a comparison of the TP signal to a given airflow. Any un-metered air (downstream of MAF) that
enters the engine, either due to a mechanical situation or electrical sensor condition, may result in
these codes. PC/ED Pinpoint Tests will guide you to the root cause and avoid customer repeat
repairs.
EEC-IV (OBD I) Codes 124 and 125 are set in memory as follows: Codes 124-125 are a
comparison of a given airflow to the TPS voltage (throttle plate position).
Code 124: The PCM has indicated that the airflow rate is too low for the position of the throttle plate
angle.
Causes for EEC-IV, OBD I Code 124:
Air bypass solenoid flow low/blocked (MAF may indicate low during the event).
^ Throttle body obstructed.
^ EGR flow low.
^ TPS circuit concern when accompanied by Codes 122 or 123.
^ BP sensor low.
Code 125: The PCM has indicated that the airflow rate is too high for the position of the throttle
plate.
Causes of EEC-IV, OBD I Code 125:
Air bypass solenoid high/stuck open (MAF may indicate high during this event).
^ EGR flow high.
^ TPS circuit concern when accompanied by Codes 122 or 123.
^ BP sensor high.
These codes are designed to set while in the part throttle drive mode, and often the MIL light
flashes on and off until the condition is gone. In some cases, it is difficult to repeat the codes in a
test drive since the PCM requires a long drive time to calculate the error in the system. At other
times, it may be difficult to repeat because the condition that set the code may be intermittent.
Pinpoint Test G of the PC/ED Manual will guide you to the root cause.
Causes of EEC Codes 122: TPS sensor circuit voltage above maximum.
Causes of EEC codes 123: TPS sensor circuit voltage below minimum.

^ Harness damage.
^ Connector damage or water in connector.
^ Defective TPS, open or short.
^ Check VREF for correct output.
^ Throttle plate not closing.
(B) - Troubleshooting the TPS
The following is a list of vehicle symptoms which have been associated with the TPS, but can also
be related to other vehicle components.
^ Check engine light
^ Stalls/quits
^ Hesitation/stumble
^ Fast idle
If an EEC error code has identified the TPS as suspect, perform PC/ED Manual pinpoint tests on
the TPS.
Testing the TPS in the vehicle electrical circuit:
The TPS is supplied with a 5.0 volt reference signal. As the TPS senses throttle plate rotation, the
output voltage changes to a value in the range of 0.4 volts to 4.8 volts depending on vehicle
application. A voltmeter, New Generation Star Tester (NGS) or Service Bay Diagnostics System
(SBDS) is the recommended test equipment for checking the TPS output.
The reason SBDS or NGS are the preferred tools is that they allow TPS voltage monitoring without
disturbing the connector. Many conditions can be caused by loose, dirty, oxidized, or poor
connections that may correct themselves for a short time if the connector is disturbed during
testing. This can mislead technicians into replacing a TPS that is okay, and the true cause, a bad
connection, may return at some future time.

Measuring the TPS voltage at idle is key when diagnosing a TPS since most of its operational life is
within 10 degrees of idle. Figures 2 and 3 include a guide to TPS output voltages for 1993-95
model year vehicles.

Figure 1 is a graph that shows how the TPS output voltage changes between engine idle and WOT
conditions.
The TPS voltage increases when the throttle is depressed. Idle is typically in the 0.4 volt to 1.2 volt
range. (Refer to idle voltage range chart.) As the TPS senses plate rotation toward Wide Open
Throttle (WOT), the voltage increases. WOT is typically in the 4.0 volt range. A voltmeter, NGS, or
SBDS is the recommended test equipment for checking the TPS output.
CAUTION:
MANY VOLTMETERS WILL AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE RANGES WHEN MEASURING TPS
OUTPUT FROM IDLE TO WOT. WHEN A VOLTMETER IS USED TO MEASURE TPS OUTPUT
FROM IDLE TO WOT, THE METER SCALES OR CHANGES RANGES AUTOMATICALLY.
THERE MAY BE AN ERRONEOUS METER DISPLAY UNTIL THE VOLTMETER HAS LOCKED
TO THE APPROPRIATE VOLTAGE READING. THE ERRONEOUS METER DISPLAY DOES
NOT REPRESENT A DEFECTIVE TPS.
NOTE:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE "RANGE LOCK' FEATURE ON MANY METERS BE SET FOR
CHECKING TPS VOLTAGE.

Use the 0.00 range to measure TPS voltage.
If your voltmeter does not change ranges automatically and the meter is set to millivolt scale when
reading full range voltages, the meter display may not indicate a valid value. This can be
misinterpreted as an open circuit or suspect TPS. Ensure the meter is set to volts for measuring full
range voltage levels.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a rotary potentiometer that determines throttle plate angle. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) determines operating modes from the TP signal. These are: Closed throttle, idle or deceleration
- Part throttle, cruise or moderate acceleration
- Wide open throttle, maximum acceleration, dechoke on crank and A/C cutout
- Throttle angle rate, acceleration pump type function
- Transmission shift schedule
CONSTRUCTION
The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body and is directly linked to the throttle shaft. The TP
sensor is composed of a wiper arm that moves along a curved resistor.
OPERATION
The TP sensor measures travel of the throttle shaft to produce a continuously variable output signal
proportional to the throttle plate position.
Throttle Position Sensor Schematic
The potentiometer functions as a voltage divider. A 5.0 volt reference signal is applied to one end
(VREF) of a curved resistance material, with the other end grounded along the SIG RTN circuit.
The TP sensor output signal is taken off a wiper arm (mechanically linked to the throttle shaft) that
travels along the entire length of the curved resistor
At closed throttle the TP wiper arm is nearer the ground side of the resistor resulting in a lower
output, 0.6 volts at 0% throttle angle.
At wide open throttle the TP wiper arm is nearer the reference voltage side of the resistor resulting
in a higher output, 4.5 volts at 85% throttle angle.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 23/121 - TP sensor output is out of the self-test range.
DTC 63/122 - TP sensor output is below the minimum self-test value.
DTC 53/123 - TP sensor output is above the maximum self-test value.
DTC 124 - TP sensor output is higher than expected.
DTC 125 - TP sensor output is lower than expected.
Note: DTC 124, 125 were intended to detect in-range failures of the TP sensor. The PCM
compares information from the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, TP sensor, and fuel injection pulse
width. If any one value appears to be out of line with the other two an in-range trouble code will be
set.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch gives an indication of transmission load to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). This information is required for adjusting fuel/air ratio and idle speed.
OPERATION
When the transmission is in gear the PNP switch is normally open. This results in a high voltage on
the PNP output pin 30. When the transmission is shifted into neutral or park the PNP switch is
closed and ground is applied to PNP output pin 30.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
PURPOSE
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) signal is used by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to
determine vehicle speed.
OPERATION
The VSS produces AC signals proportional to vehicle speed. This signal is sent to the PCM and is
converted into a vehicle speed value, stored in RAM memory. The PCM utilizes this value to aid in
controlling torque converter lock-up, coolant fan control, vehicle speed control, air/fuel ratio and
ignition timing.
Vehicle Speed Sensor Schematic
CONSTRUCTION
The VSS is a variable reluctance sensor that generates a sine wave type waveform with a
frequency that is proportional to the speed of the vehicle.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 29/452 - PCM detected an error in the VSS output (continuous memory code).

ISSUE This TSB article is a diagnostic procedure to address vehicles that exhibit lean driveability
symptoms and may or may not have any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored in memory.
ACTION Follow the diagnostic procedures described in the following Service Tip. The revised
diagnostic procedure is a more accurate means of diagnosing the symptoms.
SERVICE TIP
MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) DISCUSSION
MAF sensors can get contaminated from a variety of sources: dirt, oil, silicon, spider webs, potting
compound from the sensor itself, etc. When a MAF sensor gets contaminated, it skews the transfer
function such that the sensor over-estimates air flow at idle (causes the fuel system to go rich) and
under-estimates air flow at high air flows (causes fuel system to go lean). This means Long Term
Fuel Trims will learn lean (negative) corrections at idle and learn rich (positive) corrections at higher
air flows.
If vehicle is driven at Wide Open Throttle (WOT) or high loads, the fuel system normally goes open
loop rich to provide maximum power. If the MAF sensor is contaminated, the fuel system will
actually be lean because of under-estimated air flow. During open loop fuel operation, the vehicle
applies Long Term Fuel Trim corrections that have been learned during closed loop operation.
These corrections are often lean corrections learned at lower air flows. This combination of
under-estimated air flow and lean fuel trim corrections can result in spark knock/detonation and
lack of power concerns at WOT and high loads.
One of the indicators for diagnosing this condition is barometric pressure. Barometric pressure
(BARO) is inferred by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software at part throttle and WOT
(there is no actual BARO sensor on MAF-equipped vehicles, except for the 3.8L Supercharged
engine). At high air flows, a contaminated MAF sensor will under-estimate air flow coming into the
engine, hence the PCM infers that the vehicle is operating at a higher altitude. The BARO reading
is stored in Keep Alive Memory (KAM) after it is updated. Other indicators are Long Term Fuel Trim
and MAF

1. Look at the BARO PID. Refer to the Barometric Pressure Reference Chart in this article. At sea
level, BARO should read about 159 Hz (29.91 in. Hg). As a reference, Denver, Colorado at 1524
meters (5000 ft.) altitude should be about 144 Hz (24.88 in.Hg). Normal learned BARO variability is
up to +/- 6 Hz (+/- 2 in. Hg.). If BARO indicates a higher altitude than you are not at (7 or more Hz
lower than expected), you may have MAF contamination. If available, Service Bay Diagnostic
System (SBDS) has a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor that can be used as a barometric
pressure reference. Use "MAP/BARO" test under "Powertrain," "Testers and Meters." Ignore the
hookup screen. Connect GP2 to the reference MAP on the following screen.
NOTE
REMEMBER THAT MOST WEATHER SERVICES REPORT A LOCAL BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED TO SEA LEVEL. THE BARO PID, ON THE OTHER
HAND, REPORTS THE ACTUAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE FOR THE ALTITUDE THE
VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED IN. LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS (HIGH AND LOW
PRESSURE AREAS) WILL CHANGE THE LOCAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BY SEVERAL
INCHES OF MERCURY (+/- 3 Hz, +/- 1 in. Hg.).
NOTE
BARO IS UPDATED ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGH THROTTLE OPENINGS.
THEREFORE, A VEHICLE WHICH IS DRIVEN DOWN FROM A HIGHER ALTITUDE MAY NOT
HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE BARO VALUE IN KAM. IF YOU ARE NOT
CONFIDENT THAT BARO HAS BEEN UPDATED, PERFORM THREE OR FOUR HEAVY,
SUSTAINED ACCELERATIONS AT GREATER THAN HALF-THROTTLE TO ALLOW BARO TO
UPDATE.
2. On a fully warmed up engine, look at Long Term Fuel Trim at idle, in Neutral, A/C off, (LONGFT1
and/or LONGFT2 PIDs). If it is more negative than -12%, the fuel system has learned lean
corrections which may be due to the MAF sensor over-estimating air flow at idle. Note that both
Banks 1 and 2 will exhibit negative corrections for 2-bank system. If only one bank of a 2-bank
system has negative corrections, the MAF sensor is probably not contaminated.
3. On a fully warmed up engine, look at MAF voltage at idle, in Neutral, A/C off (MAF V PID). If it's
30% greater than the nominal MAF V voltage listed in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis
(PC/ED) Diagnostic Value Reference Charts for your vehicle, or greater than 1.1 volts as a rough
guide, the MAF sensor is over-estimating air flow at idle.
4. If at least tow of the previous three steps are true, proceed to disconnect the MAF sensor
connector. This puts the vehicle into Failure Mode and Effects Management (FMEM). In FMEM
mode, air flow is inferred by using rpm and throttle position instead of reading the MAF sensor. (In
addition, the BARO value is reset to a base/unlearned value.) If the lean driveability symptoms go
away, the MAF sensor is probably contaminated and should be replaced. If the lean driveability
symptoms do not go away, go to the PC/ED Service Manual for the appropriate diagnostics.
NOTE
DUE TO INCREASINGLY STRINGENT EMISSION/OBDII REQUIREMENTS, IT IS POSSIBLE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH MAF SENSOR CONTAMINATION TO SET FUEL SYSTEM DTCs
AND ILLUMINATE THE MIL WITH NO DRIVEABILITY CONCERNS. DISCONNECTING THE MAF
ON THESE VEHICLES WILL, THEREFORE, PRODUCE NO IMPROVEMENTS IN
DRIVEABILITY. IN THESE CASES, IF THE BARO, LONGFT1, LONGFT2, AND MAF V PIDs
INDICATE THAT THE MAF IS CONTAMINATED, PROCEED TO REPLACE THE MAF SENSOR.
After replacing the MAF sensor, disconnect the vehicle battery (5 minutes, minimum to reset KAM,
or on newer vehicles, use the "KAM Reset" feature on the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester and
verify that the lean driveability symptoms are gone.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1991-94 EXPLORER 1991-95 AEROSTAR 1997 F-150
ISSUE: Some vehicles may experience a "squeal/hoot" noise during cold start-up (usually after
cold soak at temperatures of -18°C/0°F (or below) coming from the Front End Accessory Drive
(FEAD) area. This may be caused by the tolerance of the grease being used within the idler pulley
bearing in cold temperatures.
ACTION: Confirm the noise is coming from the idler pulley (or the tensioner pulley bearing for the
4.0L Explorer) and replace the idler pulley which has a revised composition grease to reduce the
possibility of noise in cold temperatures. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Using a technician's stethoscope, check for noise at the idler pulley (4.0L Explorer, at the
tensioner pulley bearing).
WARNING:
DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE FOR MORE THAN 30 SECONDS WITH THE FEAD BELT
REMOVED.
2. Remove the FEAD belt and start the engine. With the engine running, check to see if the noise is
still present. If the noise is not present, proceed to Step 3. If the noise is still present, this TSB is no
longer applicable.
3. Replace the idler pulley with a revised idler pulley selected from the Application Chart. Refer to
the appropriate model/year Service Manual for removal and installation procedures.
NOTE:
THE BOLT SECURING THE IDLER PULLEY TO THE TENSIONER ASSEMBLY IS A LH THREAD
AND SHOULD BE TORQUED TO 40.7 N-m (30 LB-FT) MINIMUM.

Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow Sensor
PURPOSE
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor measures the total volume and mass of air flowing into the
engine. This value is one of the major factors used by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in
determining the fuel injection base pulse width and ignition timing advance.
CONSTRUCTION
The MAF sensor is located directly in the air flow path between the air cleaner housing and the
throttle body. The sensor is designed and located such that all air entering the intake manifold must
flow through it. Located in the MAF sensor directly in the airstream are two platinum wires, a hot
wire heated by electrical current and a cold reference wire. The MAF sensor uses the air flow
across these wires to calculate its output.
OPERATION
The MAF sensor operates on the principle that if the hot wire is maintained at a constant
temperature above ambient, the thermal loss exhibited by the hot wire is proportional to the total
mass of air flowing across it.
The sensor maintains the hot wire exactly 200°C (392°F) hotter than the reference (cold) wire. The
MAF sensor then measures the amount of electrical current required to maintain this temperature
difference and converts this value to an analog DC voltage. This output varies directly with the
mass air flow rate and ranges from 0.5 to 4.5 volts.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 129 - Insufficient MAF sensor output change during the dynamic response (snap throttle) test.
DTC 157 - MAF sensor output went below the minimum value of 0.4 volts (continuous memory
code).
DTC 158 - MAF sensor output went above the maximum value of 4.5 volts (continuous memory
code).
DTC 159 - MAF sensor output was measured out of range during a self-test, >0.7 volts during the
Key On Engine Off (KOEO) test and not between 0.2-1.5 volts during the Key On Engine Running
(KOER) test.
DTC 184 - MAF sensor output is higher than expected.
DTC 185 - MAF sensor output is lower than expected.
Note: DTC 184, 185 were intended to detect in-range failures of the MAF sensor. The PCM
compares information from the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, throttle position sensor, and fuel
injection pulse width. If any one value appears to be out of line with the other two an in-range
trouble code will be set.

Fuel Pump Inertia Switch: Description and Operation
Typical Inertia Fuel Shut-Off Switch
PURPOSE
The inertia switch is used to shut the fuel pump "OFF" in the event of a collision.
OPERATION
When a sharp impact occurs, the ball breaks loose from the magnet, rolls up a conical ramp and
strikes a target plate. This opens the electrical contacts of the switch and disrupts power to the
electric fuel pump. The engine will quit running within a few seconds after the fuel pump looses
power. The inertia switch must then be manually reset before the engine can be restarted.
CONSTRUCTION
The inertia switch consists of a steel ball held in place by a magnet.
WARNING: DO NOT reset the inertia switch button if you see or smell fuel.

ISSUE: The following Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) TSB has been developed for service use.
This TSB includes the following topics:
^ Description And Background Of TPS
^ (A1) and (A2) - Diagnostic Trouble Codes (Service Tips)
^ (B) Troubleshooting The TPS
^ (C) TPS Application Charts
ACTION: If TPS diagnosis or repair is required, refer to the following procedures for service details.
Description
The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is a rotary potentiometer that provides a voltage signal to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that is linearly proportional to the throttle plate/shaft angular
position. The TP sensor has a three-blade electrical connector that is plated. The plating increases
the corrosion resistance on terminals and increases the connector durability. The TP sensor is
mounted on the throttle body and is non-adjustable. As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle
shaft, four (4) operating conditions are determined by the PCM from the TP sensor.
The four (4) vehicle operating conditions are:
^ Closed throttle (idle or deceleration)
^ Part throttle (cruise, moderate acceleration)
^ Wide open throttle (maximum acceleration, de-choke on crank and A/C shut-off)
^ Throttle angle rate.
Background
Recently, revisions have been made to the TPS, which have improved reliability and durability.

A key difference between EEC-IV, OBD I and EEC-V, OBD II is the monitors. EEC-IV monitors are
designed to identify system and component issues. EEC-V monitors are designed to measure the
ability of systems and components to maintain low emission levels.
To minimize the replacement of good components, be advised that the following non-EEC areas
may be the issue:
^ Excessive blow-by
^ PCV malfunction
^ Vacuum leaks
^ Fuel pressure
^ Throttle sticking or linkage binding.
(A2) - EEC-IV Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)
When a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 121, 124 or 125 are set in continuous memory, the
technician is directed to Pinpoint Test G of the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED)
Manual. Pinpoint Test G is named: In-Range MAF/TP/Fuel lnjector Pulse Width Test. The
description of the test is as follows:
^ EEC-IV DTC Code 121, 124, and 125 Description.
This In-Range Self-Test was designed to identify in-range concerns of the MAF sensor, TP sensor,
or the fuel delivery system. The PCM will use information from these three (3) areas based on
vehicle load to generate three (3) independent values. The three (3) independent values will be
continuously monitored by the PCM. If one (1) of the values differs significantly from the others
during normal vehicle operation, a Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be
stored.
EEC codes for the TPS are intended as a supplemental aid to diagnostics. They do not indicate the
root cause since more than one (1) component can set the same code.
For example: EEC-IV, OBD I Codes 122 and 123 and EEC-V, OBD II Codes P0122 and P0123 for
"TP circuit too low" or "TP circuit too high", limit the condition to the TP circuit, connector, or vehicle
harness.
EEC-IV, OBD I Codes: 121, "TP inconsistent with air meter", 124, "TP higher than expected", 125,
"TP lower than expected" and OBD II Code P1121, "TP inconsistent with MAF sensor" are a result
of a comparison of the TP signal to a given airflow. Any un-metered air (downstream of MAF) that
enters the engine, either due to a mechanical situation or electrical sensor condition, may result in
these codes. PC/ED Pinpoint Tests will guide you to the root cause and avoid customer repeat
repairs.
EEC-IV (OBD I) Codes 124 and 125 are set in memory as follows: Codes 124-125 are a
comparison of a given airflow to the TPS voltage (throttle plate position).
Code 124: The PCM has indicated that the airflow rate is too low for the position of the throttle plate
angle.
Causes for EEC-IV, OBD I Code 124:
Air bypass solenoid flow low/blocked (MAF may indicate low during the event).
^ Throttle body obstructed.
^ EGR flow low.
^ TPS circuit concern when accompanied by Codes 122 or 123.
^ BP sensor low.
Code 125: The PCM has indicated that the airflow rate is too high for the position of the throttle
plate.
Causes of EEC-IV, OBD I Code 125:
Air bypass solenoid high/stuck open (MAF may indicate high during this event).
^ EGR flow high.
^ TPS circuit concern when accompanied by Codes 122 or 123.
^ BP sensor high.
These codes are designed to set while in the part throttle drive mode, and often the MIL light
flashes on and off until the condition is gone. In some cases, it is difficult to repeat the codes in a
test drive since the PCM requires a long drive time to calculate the error in the system. At other
times, it may be difficult to repeat because the condition that set the code may be intermittent.
Pinpoint Test G of the PC/ED Manual will guide you to the root cause.
Causes of EEC Codes 122: TPS sensor circuit voltage above maximum.
Causes of EEC codes 123: TPS sensor circuit voltage below minimum.

^ Harness damage.
^ Connector damage or water in connector.
^ Defective TPS, open or short.
^ Check VREF for correct output.
^ Throttle plate not closing.
(B) - Troubleshooting the TPS
The following is a list of vehicle symptoms which have been associated with the TPS, but can also
be related to other vehicle components.
^ Check engine light
^ Stalls/quits
^ Hesitation/stumble
^ Fast idle
If an EEC error code has identified the TPS as suspect, perform PC/ED Manual pinpoint tests on
the TPS.
Testing the TPS in the vehicle electrical circuit:
The TPS is supplied with a 5.0 volt reference signal. As the TPS senses throttle plate rotation, the
output voltage changes to a value in the range of 0.4 volts to 4.8 volts depending on vehicle
application. A voltmeter, New Generation Star Tester (NGS) or Service Bay Diagnostics System
(SBDS) is the recommended test equipment for checking the TPS output.
The reason SBDS or NGS are the preferred tools is that they allow TPS voltage monitoring without
disturbing the connector. Many conditions can be caused by loose, dirty, oxidized, or poor
connections that may correct themselves for a short time if the connector is disturbed during
testing. This can mislead technicians into replacing a TPS that is okay, and the true cause, a bad
connection, may return at some future time.

Measuring the TPS voltage at idle is key when diagnosing a TPS since most of its operational life is
within 10 degrees of idle. Figures 2 and 3 include a guide to TPS output voltages for 1993-95
model year vehicles.

Figure 1 is a graph that shows how the TPS output voltage changes between engine idle and WOT
conditions.
The TPS voltage increases when the throttle is depressed. Idle is typically in the 0.4 volt to 1.2 volt
range. (Refer to idle voltage range chart.) As the TPS senses plate rotation toward Wide Open
Throttle (WOT), the voltage increases. WOT is typically in the 4.0 volt range. A voltmeter, NGS, or
SBDS is the recommended test equipment for checking the TPS output.
CAUTION:
MANY VOLTMETERS WILL AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE RANGES WHEN MEASURING TPS
OUTPUT FROM IDLE TO WOT. WHEN A VOLTMETER IS USED TO MEASURE TPS OUTPUT
FROM IDLE TO WOT, THE METER SCALES OR CHANGES RANGES AUTOMATICALLY.
THERE MAY BE AN ERRONEOUS METER DISPLAY UNTIL THE VOLTMETER HAS LOCKED
TO THE APPROPRIATE VOLTAGE READING. THE ERRONEOUS METER DISPLAY DOES
NOT REPRESENT A DEFECTIVE TPS.
NOTE:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE "RANGE LOCK' FEATURE ON MANY METERS BE SET FOR
CHECKING TPS VOLTAGE.

Use the 0.00 range to measure TPS voltage.
If your voltmeter does not change ranges automatically and the meter is set to millivolt scale when
reading full range voltages, the meter display may not indicate a valid value. This can be
misinterpreted as an open circuit or suspect TPS. Ensure the meter is set to volts for measuring full
range voltage levels.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a rotary potentiometer that determines throttle plate angle. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) determines operating modes from the TP signal. These are: Closed throttle, idle or deceleration
- Part throttle, cruise or moderate acceleration
- Wide open throttle, maximum acceleration, dechoke on crank and A/C cutout
- Throttle angle rate, acceleration pump type function
- Transmission shift schedule
CONSTRUCTION
The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body and is directly linked to the throttle shaft. The TP
sensor is composed of a wiper arm that moves along a curved resistor.
OPERATION
The TP sensor measures travel of the throttle shaft to produce a continuously variable output signal
proportional to the throttle plate position.
Throttle Position Sensor Schematic
The potentiometer functions as a voltage divider. A 5.0 volt reference signal is applied to one end
(VREF) of a curved resistance material, with the other end grounded along the SIG RTN circuit.
The TP sensor output signal is taken off a wiper arm (mechanically linked to the throttle shaft) that
travels along the entire length of the curved resistor
At closed throttle the TP wiper arm is nearer the ground side of the resistor resulting in a lower
output, 0.6 volts at 0% throttle angle.
At wide open throttle the TP wiper arm is nearer the reference voltage side of the resistor resulting
in a higher output, 4.5 volts at 85% throttle angle.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 23/121 - TP sensor output is out of the self-test range.
DTC 63/122 - TP sensor output is below the minimum self-test value.
DTC 53/123 - TP sensor output is above the maximum self-test value.
DTC 124 - TP sensor output is higher than expected.
DTC 125 - TP sensor output is lower than expected.
Note: DTC 124, 125 were intended to detect in-range failures of the TP sensor. The PCM
compares information from the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, TP sensor, and fuel injection pulse
width. If any one value appears to be out of line with the other two an in-range trouble code will be
set.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor provides base timing and engine speed information to the
Ignition Control Module (ICM). The ICM supplies this information to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) as the Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) signal. The PCM uses this information for fuel injector
timing and calculating ignition timing advance and dwell.
CONSTRUCTION
The CKP is a variable reluctance type sensor that monitors the movement of a 35 tooth wheel
located behind the crankshaft pulley.
EI Ignition System Oscilloscope Waveform
OPERATION
As the teeth on the crankshaft pass by the CKP a voltage is induced in the sensor. The CKP output
is a spiked sine wave that is proportional to crankshaft speed and position. The missing tooth (36
minus 1) design allows the ICM to synchronize the signal and select the correct coil to fire.

Hall Effect Sensor: Description and Operation
Profile Ignition Pickup
The Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) sensor is a Hall-effect type switch located in the distributor. It
sends the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) information on engine speed and crankshaft position.
The Hall device operates by the manipulation of magnetic fields. When a rotor vane ENTERS the
space between the two halves of the stator pick-up, the magnetic field is altered, turning ON the
signal to the PCM. When the vane LEAVES the stator gap, the magnetic field returns to normal,
and the signal to the PCM is turned OFF.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch gives an indication of transmission load to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). This information is required for adjusting fuel/air ratio and idle speed.
OPERATION
When the transmission is in gear the PNP switch is normally open. This results in a high voltage on
the PNP output pin 30. When the transmission is shifted into neutral or park the PNP switch is
closed and ground is applied to PNP output pin 30.

Transmission Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
The Transmission Speed Sensor (TSS), located within the transaxle oil pan, produces AC voltage
that is proportional to the speed of the transaxle's forward/reverse drum. Since this drum is
mechanically connected to the torque converter, the sensor is also measuring turbine speed. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses this input to determine upshift and downshift points.

Service Procedure
1. Check and adjust brake pad clearances and caliper knuckle clearances as follows:
a. Remove the pins from the caliper.
b. While holding the caliper in place against the bottom pin rails, Figure 1, measure the clearance
between the caliper and the top pin rails. Clearance should be a minimum of 0.3B mm (0.015").
c. If the clearance is insufficient, replace the caliper and measure again. If clearance concern still
exists, replace the knuckle.
NOTE:
CHECK THE CLEARANCE ON THE NEW KNUCKLE BEFORE INSTALLATION.
d. After measuring the caliper/knuckle for proper clearances, remove both calipers and inner pad
assemblies.
e. Remove the anti-rattle clip from the inner pad.

f. Reinstall pad and check the side and end clearances with a feeler gauge (Figure 2).
g. If the pad clearances are within specification, go to Step 1h. If the pad clearances are not to the
required dimensions, file the steel backing plate. File material at ends of shoes, removing equal
amounts from both sides or ends (Figure 3).
CAUTION:
DO NOT GRIND THE STEEL BACKING PLATE. IT IS POSSIBLE TO REMOVE TOO MUCH
MATERIAL WHEN GRINDING.
h. Check the tab clearances and install anti-rattle clip on the lower pad tab (Figure 2).
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE THE LUBRICANT DOES NOT GET ON THE ROTORS, LININGS, OR ON THE
CALIPER PISTON BOOTS.
2. During reassembly:
^ Clean the caliper slide surfaces of corrosion, contamination, and burrs with a wire brush or
portable wire wheel
^ Polish with crocus cloth
^ Lubricate and corrosion protect by applying a light coat of Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and
Dielectric Compound (D7AZ-19A331-A), or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESE-M1C171-A,
to the inner knuckle top and bottom pad groove and caliper rails (Figure 1)
^ Replace the caliper pins with new Caliper Pins (F2TZ-2C150-A)

3. Inspect the right and left side radius arm bushings for cracking, splitting, or wear. Replace the
right and left side arm bushings with new Radius Arm Bushings (F1TZ-3B203-B), medium brown
color, if necessary. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual, Section 04-01C, for service details.
Pull/Drift Diagnostic Procedure
The Pull/Drift Diagnostic Procedure should be used if the pull or drift is not significantly reduced
with the service procedure or in cases of a steady state drift (no braking).
Test drive the vehicle with the customer to understand his/her pull or drift concern. Many customers
will call a clear vision concern a pull or drift because the steering wheel is not straight.
Pull or drifts come from various sources, each with a particular set of symptoms. Careful road test
evaluation usually will pinpoint which cause (or causes) is present.
Road Test
It is important to test drive the vehicle with the customer to UNDERSTAND HIS OR HER
CONCERN.
Complete the road test before beginning any repairs since you may have multiple causes that need
to be identified.
^ The road test should be done on a flat, straight road and should be done in both directions to
account for wind
^ Tire pressure should be checked and adjusted, if necessary
^ A second person in the vehicle during the road test is helpful. Unless otherwise directed, the
second person must remain in the front RH passenger location
^ On vehicles with automatic locking hubs, it is necessary to drive 6 meters (20 feet) forward and
then backward to unlock the hubs

NOTE:
RECONNECT THE FLUID LEVEL SENSOR AFTER ROAD TEST.
Diagnostic Procedure # 1 - Tire Mismatch
Compare the installed tires and wheels to the certification label. If the tires and wheels match,
continue with the Diagnostic Procedure.
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH THE CERTIFICATION LABEL, compare tires
and wheels to Regular Production Option (RPO) list and set tire psi to the correct value
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH THE CERTIFICATION LABEL OR RPO
AVAILABILITY, swap known good tires and wheels (as called for by the certification label or RPO
list) for the purposes of evaluation only
Set tire pressure to value on the certification label.
1. Spin the front tires to be sure that the front hubs are unlocked. If hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Tire Pull - Swap the front tires from side-to-side and road test. If the concern is not corrected,
continue with next Step.
3. Tire Pull - Swap rear tires from side-to-side and road test. If the concern is not corrected,
continue with next Step.
4. Tire Pull - Swap front tires from front to rear. Set the tire pressure to the required pressure for the
new front and rear positions, then road test.
NOTE:
ON REAR LIMITED SLIP AXLE (FRONT HUB UNLOCKED) DRIFT CONCERNS, IT MAY BE
NECESSARY TO MEASURE TIRE CIRCUMFERENCE AND PLACE A MATCHED SET OF TIRES
ON THE REAR AXLE.
Diagnostic Procedure # 2 - Alignment

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer
Interest: > 98-5A-22 > Mar > 98 > Vehicle - Pull Or Drift Diagnostics/Service Procedures > Page 932
Wheel Alignment - Measure the front wheel alignment. For out-of-specification vehicles, align to the
"1991-94 Preferred Alignment Specifications" stated in this article.
^ Spin the front tires to be sure that the front hubs are unlocked. If hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels
^ Do not adjust wheel alignment to correct for brake pull if the vehicle does not have pull during
non-brake applications
^ Set the tire pressure to the specification on the certification label
Compare the installed tires and wheels to the certification label. If the tires and wheels match,
continue with the Diagnostic Procedure.
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH THE CERTIFICATION LABEL, compare tires
and wheels to RPO list and set tire pressure to the correct value
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH CERTIFICATION LABEL OR RPO
AVAILABILITY, swap known good tires and wheels (as called for by the certification label or RPO
list) for the purposes of evaluation only
Drive vehicle after alignment is performed.
^ Vehicles which exceed the maximum average caster value shown above may result in shimmy
concerns
^ Vehicles operated below the minimum average caster value shown can result in wander and poor
steering returnability concerns
If the vehicle is not within these minimum and maximum average caster values, or if the vehicle
has experienced any of these listed steering/handling concerns, the average caster should be set
in accordance with ride height/caster chart in the Service Manual.
Diagnostic Procedure # 3 - Tires
1. Spin the front tires to be sure that the front hubs are unlocked. If the hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Measure tire circumference of all four (4) tires; put the two (2) closest circumference tires on the
rear axle. Tire pressure must be equal on all tires.
Diagnostic Procedure # 4 - Steering Gear Valve Off Center
Rotary Valve Centering Check: To confirm that you are looking at a steering gear valve concern, lift
the front wheels off the ground.

^ The front wheels should also spin freely
With the wheels in a straight ahead position, start the engine and observe any steering wheel or
linkage movement when the engine is started. If any movement is observed, continue with the
rotary valve centering check.
1. Spin the front tires to make sure the front hubs are unlocked. If the hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Install a 0-13,790 kPa (0-2000 psi) pressure gauge (Rotunda 014-00207, Power Steering
Analyzer) in the pressure line between the power steering pump outlet port 1 and the integral
steering gear inlet port. Make sure the valve on the gauge is fully open.
3. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. Add Premium Power Steering Fluid F7AZ-3F823-AA or
equivalent meeting Ford specification ESW-M2C33-F, if necessary.
4. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from stop-to-stop to bring the steering lubricant to
normal operating temperature. Turn off the engine and recheck the fluid level. Add Premium Power
Steering Fluid F7AZ-3F823-AA or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESW-M2C33-F, if
necessary.
5. With the engine running at approximately 1000 rpm and the steering wheel centered, attach a
b-in torque wrench to the steering wheel nut. Apply sufficient torque in each direction to get a
gauge reading of 1723 kPa (250 psi).
6. The torque wrench readings should be the same in both directions at 1723 kPa (250 psi). If the
difference between the readings exceeds 0.68 N.m (6 lb-in), remove the steering gear and replace
the shaft and control assembly.
7. Remove the pressure gauge installed in Step 2.
Diagnostic Procedure # 5 - RBS Linkage
If the RBS linkage is determined to have wind up or memory steer, replace RBS linkage with
greaseable steel linkage.
NOTE:
ALL SERVICE PART STEERING LINKAGE IS THE GREASEABLE STEEL SOCKET TYPE
Diagnostic Procedure # 6 - Brake Imbalance
1. Spin the front tires to make sure the front hubs are unlocked. If the hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Check for front wheel rotational drag with warm/hot brakes.
a. Make a series of 10 stops from speeds of 48 km/h (30 mph).
b. Make the 10 stops with no more than 30 second intervals between stops. This generally will
induce a maximum pull if there is a drift/pull concern.
c. Raise the front end of the vehicle so that both tires are off the ground.
d. Rotate the front wheels by hand.
NOTE:
FOR ALL 4-WHEEL-DRIVE VEHICLES, MAKE SURE THE HUBS ARE DISENGAGED.
Both tires should rotate about the same amount, with little brake drag occuring. Some brake drag
will naturally be present for each size of vehicle.
3. If the vehicle has excess brake drag, proceed as follows:
a. Open the bleed screw on the affected wheel to check for residual pressure in the brake lines. If
there is a squirt of brake fluid out of the bleeder screw and the drag is reduced or eliminated, the
master cylinder may not be allowing the brake fluid to return to the reservoir.
b. Check the master cylinder push rod adjustment. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual,
Section 06-06, for service details.
c. Check the brake pedal to determine if it is fully returning.
4. Remove both calipers and check piston retraction using a C-clamp and wooden block. The
piston should easily move back into the bore under the force of the clamp. Rebuild or replace as
needed.
5. If Steps 1 through 4 have not determined the concern, swap rotors and linings from side-to-side.
NOTE:
SHOE TAB CLEARANCES SHOULD BE CHECKED AND MODIFIED IF NEEDED. REFER TO
FIGURE 2.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer
Interest: > 98-5A-22 > Mar > 98 > Vehicle - Pull Or Drift Diagnostics/Service Procedures > Page 934
6. Test drive the vehicle with 10 or more stops from 64 km/h (40 mph) before evaluating for brake
drift. If there is no change in drift while braking, it may be assumed the concern is not the result of
the front brakes.
7. Check the rear brakes. Remove the rear wheels and brake drums.
a. Check for contaminants (i.e., grease, axle lube, leaking brake fluid, etc.).
b. Check for broken components, frozen parking brake cables or improperly installed parts.
c. Check the cage diameter using the Brake Shoe Adjustment Gauge (D81L-1103-A). If either side
is out-of-specification, check for proper function of the adjusting mechanism and repair or replace
as required.
d. Check the rear wheel cylinders by the following method.
^ Replace one of the brake drums
^ Have another person apply the brakes and watch for movement of one of the brake shoes on the
other wheel
^ Reapply the brakes while holding in place the shoe that moved. The opposite shoe should now
move. If no movement is observed, repair or replace the wheel cylinder
^ Reinstall the drum and repeat the procedure for the other rear brake
8. If the condition still exists, swap rear shoes from side-to-side and drive the vehicle. If the drift is
significantly reduced, replace the rear linings. If the pull/drift is not significantly reduced, go to
Service Procedure # 7.
Diagnostic Procedure # 7 - Miscellaneous
Check for loose, damaged or excessively worn parts. Visually inspect the front suspension for
loose or worn components (i.e., ball joints, radius arm bushings, radius arm attachments at the axle
and frame, alignment adjusters, steering linkage, etc.). Repair or replace as required.

3. Inspect the right and left side radius arm bushings for cracking, splitting, or wear. Replace the
right and left side arm bushings with new Radius Arm Bushings (F1TZ-3B203-B), medium brown
color, if necessary. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual, Section 04-01C, for service details.
Pull/Drift Diagnostic Procedure
The Pull/Drift Diagnostic Procedure should be used if the pull or drift is not significantly reduced
with the service procedure or in cases of a steady state drift (no braking).
Test drive the vehicle with the customer to understand his/her pull or drift concern. Many customers
will call a clear vision concern a pull or drift because the steering wheel is not straight.
Pull or drifts come from various sources, each with a particular set of symptoms. Careful road test
evaluation usually will pinpoint which cause (or causes) is present.
Road Test
It is important to test drive the vehicle with the customer to UNDERSTAND HIS OR HER
CONCERN.
Complete the road test before beginning any repairs since you may have multiple causes that need
to be identified.
^ The road test should be done on a flat, straight road and should be done in both directions to
account for wind
^ Tire pressure should be checked and adjusted, if necessary
^ A second person in the vehicle during the road test is helpful. Unless otherwise directed, the
second person must remain in the front RH passenger location
^ On vehicles with automatic locking hubs, it is necessary to drive 6 meters (20 feet) forward and
then backward to unlock the hubs

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE MULTIPLE SYMPTOMS. A ROAD
TEST/CAUSE CHART.
NOTE:
RECONNECT THE FLUID LEVEL SENSOR AFTER ROAD TEST.
Diagnostic Procedure # 1 - Tire Mismatch
Compare the installed tires and wheels to the certification label. If the tires and wheels match,
continue with the Diagnostic Procedure.
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH THE CERTIFICATION LABEL, compare tires
and wheels to Regular Production Option (RPO) list and set tire psi to the correct value
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH THE CERTIFICATION LABEL OR RPO
AVAILABILITY, swap known good tires and wheels (as called for by the certification label or RPO
list) for the purposes of evaluation only
Set tire pressure to value on the certification label.
1. Spin the front tires to be sure that the front hubs are unlocked. If hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Tire Pull - Swap the front tires from side-to-side and road test. If the concern is not corrected,
continue with next Step.
3. Tire Pull - Swap rear tires from side-to-side and road test. If the concern is not corrected,
continue with next Step.
4. Tire Pull - Swap front tires from front to rear. Set the tire pressure to the required pressure for the
new front and rear positions, then road test.
NOTE:
ON REAR LIMITED SLIP AXLE (FRONT HUB UNLOCKED) DRIFT CONCERNS, IT MAY BE
NECESSARY TO MEASURE TIRE CIRCUMFERENCE AND PLACE A MATCHED SET OF TIRES
ON THE REAR AXLE.
Diagnostic Procedure # 2 - Alignment

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical
Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 98-5A-22 > Mar > 98 > Vehicle - Pull Or Drift Diagnostics/Service Procedures > Page 945
Wheel Alignment - Measure the front wheel alignment. For out-of-specification vehicles, align to the
"1991-94 Preferred Alignment Specifications" stated in this article.
^ Spin the front tires to be sure that the front hubs are unlocked. If hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels
^ Do not adjust wheel alignment to correct for brake pull if the vehicle does not have pull during
non-brake applications
^ Set the tire pressure to the specification on the certification label
Compare the installed tires and wheels to the certification label. If the tires and wheels match,
continue with the Diagnostic Procedure.
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH THE CERTIFICATION LABEL, compare tires
and wheels to RPO list and set tire pressure to the correct value
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH CERTIFICATION LABEL OR RPO
AVAILABILITY, swap known good tires and wheels (as called for by the certification label or RPO
list) for the purposes of evaluation only
Drive vehicle after alignment is performed.
^ Vehicles which exceed the maximum average caster value shown above may result in shimmy
concerns
^ Vehicles operated below the minimum average caster value shown can result in wander and poor
steering returnability concerns
If the vehicle is not within these minimum and maximum average caster values, or if the vehicle
has experienced any of these listed steering/handling concerns, the average caster should be set
in accordance with ride height/caster chart in the Service Manual.
Diagnostic Procedure # 3 - Tires
1. Spin the front tires to be sure that the front hubs are unlocked. If the hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Measure tire circumference of all four (4) tires; put the two (2) closest circumference tires on the
rear axle. Tire pressure must be equal on all tires.
Diagnostic Procedure # 4 - Steering Gear Valve Off Center
Rotary Valve Centering Check: To confirm that you are looking at a steering gear valve concern, lift
the front wheels off the ground.
^ The vehicle should be raised so that there is no interference with the steering linkage
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical
Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 98-5A-22 > Mar > 98 > Vehicle - Pull Or Drift Diagnostics/Service Procedures > Page 946
^ The front wheels should also spin freely
With the wheels in a straight ahead position, start the engine and observe any steering wheel or
linkage movement when the engine is started. If any movement is observed, continue with the
rotary valve centering check.
1. Spin the front tires to make sure the front hubs are unlocked. If the hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Install a 0-13,790 kPa (0-2000 psi) pressure gauge (Rotunda 014-00207, Power Steering
Analyzer) in the pressure line between the power steering pump outlet port 1 and the integral
steering gear inlet port. Make sure the valve on the gauge is fully open.
3. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. Add Premium Power Steering Fluid F7AZ-3F823-AA or
equivalent meeting Ford specification ESW-M2C33-F, if necessary.
4. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from stop-to-stop to bring the steering lubricant to
normal operating temperature. Turn off the engine and recheck the fluid level. Add Premium Power
Steering Fluid F7AZ-3F823-AA or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESW-M2C33-F, if
necessary.
5. With the engine running at approximately 1000 rpm and the steering wheel centered, attach a
b-in torque wrench to the steering wheel nut. Apply sufficient torque in each direction to get a
gauge reading of 1723 kPa (250 psi).
6. The torque wrench readings should be the same in both directions at 1723 kPa (250 psi). If the
difference between the readings exceeds 0.68 N.m (6 lb-in), remove the steering gear and replace
the shaft and control assembly.
7. Remove the pressure gauge installed in Step 2.
Diagnostic Procedure # 5 - RBS Linkage
If the RBS linkage is determined to have wind up or memory steer, replace RBS linkage with
greaseable steel linkage.
NOTE:
ALL SERVICE PART STEERING LINKAGE IS THE GREASEABLE STEEL SOCKET TYPE
Diagnostic Procedure # 6 - Brake Imbalance
1. Spin the front tires to make sure the front hubs are unlocked. If the hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Check for front wheel rotational drag with warm/hot brakes.
a. Make a series of 10 stops from speeds of 48 km/h (30 mph).
b. Make the 10 stops with no more than 30 second intervals between stops. This generally will
induce a maximum pull if there is a drift/pull concern.
c. Raise the front end of the vehicle so that both tires are off the ground.
d. Rotate the front wheels by hand.
NOTE:
FOR ALL 4-WHEEL-DRIVE VEHICLES, MAKE SURE THE HUBS ARE DISENGAGED.
Both tires should rotate about the same amount, with little brake drag occuring. Some brake drag
will naturally be present for each size of vehicle.
3. If the vehicle has excess brake drag, proceed as follows:
a. Open the bleed screw on the affected wheel to check for residual pressure in the brake lines. If
there is a squirt of brake fluid out of the bleeder screw and the drag is reduced or eliminated, the
master cylinder may not be allowing the brake fluid to return to the reservoir.
b. Check the master cylinder push rod adjustment. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual,
Section 06-06, for service details.
c. Check the brake pedal to determine if it is fully returning.
4. Remove both calipers and check piston retraction using a C-clamp and wooden block. The
piston should easily move back into the bore under the force of the clamp. Rebuild or replace as
needed.
5. If Steps 1 through 4 have not determined the concern, swap rotors and linings from side-to-side.
NOTE:
SHOE TAB CLEARANCES SHOULD BE CHECKED AND MODIFIED IF NEEDED. REFER TO
FIGURE 2.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical
Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 98-5A-22 > Mar > 98 > Vehicle - Pull Or Drift Diagnostics/Service Procedures > Page 947
6. Test drive the vehicle with 10 or more stops from 64 km/h (40 mph) before evaluating for brake
drift. If there is no change in drift while braking, it may be assumed the concern is not the result of
the front brakes.
7. Check the rear brakes. Remove the rear wheels and brake drums.
a. Check for contaminants (i.e., grease, axle lube, leaking brake fluid, etc.).
b. Check for broken components, frozen parking brake cables or improperly installed parts.
c. Check the cage diameter using the Brake Shoe Adjustment Gauge (D81L-1103-A). If either side
is out-of-specification, check for proper function of the adjusting mechanism and repair or replace
as required.
d. Check the rear wheel cylinders by the following method.
^ Replace one of the brake drums
^ Have another person apply the brakes and watch for movement of one of the brake shoes on the
other wheel
^ Reapply the brakes while holding in place the shoe that moved. The opposite shoe should now
move. If no movement is observed, repair or replace the wheel cylinder
^ Reinstall the drum and repeat the procedure for the other rear brake
8. If the condition still exists, swap rear shoes from side-to-side and drive the vehicle. If the drift is
significantly reduced, replace the rear linings. If the pull/drift is not significantly reduced, go to
Service Procedure # 7.
Diagnostic Procedure # 7 - Miscellaneous
Check for loose, damaged or excessively worn parts. Visually inspect the front suspension for
loose or worn components (i.e., ball joints, radius arm bushings, radius arm attachments at the axle
and frame, alignment adjusters, steering linkage, etc.). Repair or replace as required.

ISSUE: Front end alignment on light trucks may occasionally require adjustment. Information about
the service parts available to provide the adjustments and service setting objective is featured in
this article.
ACTION: If light truck Service Manual diagnostics indicate the need for front alignment adjustment,
use the optimum alignment settings and caster/camber adjustment parts list provided in this TSB
Article. Refer to the appropriate light truck Service Manual, Section 04-00 for service details.
DETAILED SERVICE PROCEDURE
The chart has been created to give optimum alignment settings and to recommend allowable
ranges for all light truck alignments. The ranges recommended in this chart are only recommended
guidelines within which most customers would not indicate concern with vehicle alignment.
When Service Manual diagnostics indicate that an alignment adjustment may be required to
resolve a customer concern, all of the vehicle's alignment parameters should be set to their
optimum values to assure customer satisfaction.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical
Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 932324 > Nov > 93 > Suspension/Steering - Front Alignment Settings > Page 953
REQUIRED CONDITIONS BEFORE CHECKING ALIGNMENT:
^ No driver and/or passenger
^ Full fluids
^ All tires set to specified air pressure
^ All tire sizes comparable to original equipment
^ Vehicle configured to normal operated condition (not to exceed max. front GAWR, max. rear
GAWR and/or max. GVW.
DEFINITIONS
1. Camber Average is defined as LH camber plus RH camber divided by 2 (LH CAMBER + RH
CAMBER) / 2.
Vehicles set to this specification, as measured with the vehicle loaded to normal loading conditions
will result in optimum tire wear.
2. Caster Average is defined as LH caster plus RH Caster divided by 2 (LH CASTER + RH
CASTER) / 2.
These are NOT recommended values for settings. They are only maximum and minimum
limitations. Vehicles outside these limits may exhibit the following:
^ Vehicles which exceed the maximum caster value may result in shimmy concerns.
^ Vehicles operated below the minimum caster value may result in wander and poor steering
returnability concerns.
3. Camber Split is defined as LH camber minus RH camber (LH CAMBER - RH CAMBER)
4. Caster Split is defined as LH caster minus RH Caster (LH CASTER - RH CASTER)
SPECIAL NOTE - CASTER/CAMBER OUT OF RANGE
Vehicles with average caster and/or camber significantly out of specified ranges may have a ride
height out of normal operating range. Normal service procedures may not provide adequate
adjustment to bring the alignment to the preferred specification. If ride height appears to be an
issue, investigate as follows:
^ Front ride height can be below specification if the front loading exceeds the rated capacity listed
on the certification label. Weigh the front end and compare to the certification label to determine if
an overload condition exists. If overloaded, adjust weight to bring vehicle back into compliance with
the published weight limits, or rerate the front suspension within the guidelines of the 1994 Body
Builders Layout Book.
^ Front ride height can be abnormally high on lightly loaded vehicles equipped with heavy duty front
suspension options or maximum FGAWR options. Compare the ride height of the frame-to-ground
guidelines at the wheel centers published in the 1994 Body Builder's Layout Book, and adjust
loading as required or revise front suspension rating within the guidelines in the 1994 Body
Builder's Layout Book.

PARTS USAGE
LIGHT TRUCK: 1994 AEROSTAR, BRONCO, EXPLORER, F SUPER DUTY, F-150-350 SERIES,
RANGER
ISSUE: Front end alignment on light trucks may occasionally require adjustment. Information about
the service parts available to provide the adjustments and service setting objective is featured in
this article.
ACTION: If light truck Service Manual diagnostics indicate the need for front alignment adjustment,
use the optimum alignment settings and caster/camber adjustment parts list provided in this TSB
Article. Refer to the appropriate light truck Service Manual, Section 04-00 for service details.
DETAILED SERVICE PROCEDURE
The chart has been created to give optimum alignment settings and to recommend allowable
ranges for all light truck alignments. The ranges recommended in this chart are only recommended
guidelines within which most customers would not indicate concern with vehicle alignment.
When Service Manual diagnostics indicate that an alignment adjustment may be required to
resolve a customer concern, all of the vehicle's alignment parameters should be set to their
optimum values to assure customer satisfaction.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service
Bulletins for Alignment: > 932324 > Nov > 93 > Suspension/Steering - Front Alignment Settings > Page 961
REQUIRED CONDITIONS BEFORE CHECKING ALIGNMENT:
^ No driver and/or passenger
^ Full fluids
^ All tires set to specified air pressure
^ All tire sizes comparable to original equipment
^ Vehicle configured to normal operated condition (not to exceed max. front GAWR, max. rear
GAWR and/or max. GVW.
DEFINITIONS
1. Camber Average is defined as LH camber plus RH camber divided by 2 (LH CAMBER + RH
CAMBER) / 2.
Vehicles set to this specification, as measured with the vehicle loaded to normal loading conditions
will result in optimum tire wear.
2. Caster Average is defined as LH caster plus RH Caster divided by 2 (LH CASTER + RH
CASTER) / 2.
These are NOT recommended values for settings. They are only maximum and minimum
limitations. Vehicles outside these limits may exhibit the following:
^ Vehicles which exceed the maximum caster value may result in shimmy concerns.
^ Vehicles operated below the minimum caster value may result in wander and poor steering
returnability concerns.
3. Camber Split is defined as LH camber minus RH camber (LH CAMBER - RH CAMBER)
4. Caster Split is defined as LH caster minus RH Caster (LH CASTER - RH CASTER)
SPECIAL NOTE - CASTER/CAMBER OUT OF RANGE
Vehicles with average caster and/or camber significantly out of specified ranges may have a ride
height out of normal operating range. Normal service procedures may not provide adequate
adjustment to bring the alignment to the preferred specification. If ride height appears to be an
issue, investigate as follows:
^ Front ride height can be below specification if the front loading exceeds the rated capacity listed
on the certification label. Weigh the front end and compare to the certification label to determine if
an overload condition exists. If overloaded, adjust weight to bring vehicle back into compliance with
the published weight limits, or rerate the front suspension within the guidelines of the 1994 Body
Builders Layout Book.
^ Front ride height can be abnormally high on lightly loaded vehicles equipped with heavy duty front
suspension options or maximum FGAWR options. Compare the ride height of the frame-to-ground
guidelines at the wheel centers published in the 1994 Body Builder's Layout Book, and adjust
loading as required or revise front suspension rating within the guidelines in the 1994 Body
Builder's Layout Book.

1. Check and adjust brake pad clearances and caliper knuckle clearances as follows:
a. Remove the pins from the caliper.
b. While holding the caliper in place against the bottom pin rails, Figure 1, measure the clearance
between the caliper and the top pin rails. Clearance should be a minimum of 0.3B mm (0.015").
c. If the clearance is insufficient, replace the caliper and measure again. If clearance concern still
exists, replace the knuckle.
NOTE:
CHECK THE CLEARANCE ON THE NEW KNUCKLE BEFORE INSTALLATION.
d. After measuring the caliper/knuckle for proper clearances, remove both calipers and inner pad
assemblies.
e. Remove the anti-rattle clip from the inner pad.

f. Reinstall pad and check the side and end clearances with a feeler gauge (Figure 2).
g. If the pad clearances are within specification, go to Step 1h. If the pad clearances are not to the
required dimensions, file the steel backing plate. File material at ends of shoes, removing equal
amounts from both sides or ends (Figure 3).
CAUTION:
DO NOT GRIND THE STEEL BACKING PLATE. IT IS POSSIBLE TO REMOVE TOO MUCH
MATERIAL WHEN GRINDING.
h. Check the tab clearances and install anti-rattle clip on the lower pad tab (Figure 2).
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE THE LUBRICANT DOES NOT GET ON THE ROTORS, LININGS, OR ON THE
CALIPER PISTON BOOTS.
2. During reassembly:
^ Clean the caliper slide surfaces of corrosion, contamination, and burrs with a wire brush or
portable wire wheel
^ Polish with crocus cloth
^ Lubricate and corrosion protect by applying a light coat of Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and
Dielectric Compound (D7AZ-19A331-A), or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESE-M1C171-A,
to the inner knuckle top and bottom pad groove and caliper rails (Figure 1)

NOTE:
THE EXPLORER IS ALREADY EQUIPPED WITH THE NEW RADIUS ARM BUSHINGS.
3. Inspect the right and left side radius arm bushings for cracking, splitting, or wear. Replace the
right and left side arm bushings with new Radius Arm Bushings (F1TZ-3B203-B), medium brown
color, if necessary. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual, Section 04-01C, for service details.
Pull/Drift Diagnostic Procedure
The Pull/Drift Diagnostic Procedure should be used if the pull or drift is not significantly reduced
with the service procedure or in cases of a steady state drift (no braking).
Test drive the vehicle with the customer to understand his/her pull or drift concern. Many customers
will call a clear vision concern a pull or drift because the steering wheel is not straight.
Pull or drifts come from various sources, each with a particular set of symptoms. Careful road test
evaluation usually will pinpoint which cause (or causes) is present.
Road Test
It is important to test drive the vehicle with the customer to UNDERSTAND HIS OR HER
CONCERN.
Complete the road test before beginning any repairs since you may have multiple causes that need
to be identified.
^ The road test should be done on a flat, straight road and should be done in both directions to
account for wind
^ Tire pressure should be checked and adjusted, if necessary
^ A second person in the vehicle during the road test is helpful. Unless otherwise directed, the
second person must remain in the front RH passenger location
^ On vehicles with automatic locking hubs, it is necessary to drive 6 meters (20 feet) forward and
then backward to unlock the hubs

Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 968
NOTE:
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE MULTIPLE SYMPTOMS. A ROAD
TEST/CAUSE CHART.
NOTE:
RECONNECT THE FLUID LEVEL SENSOR AFTER ROAD TEST.
Diagnostic Procedure # 1 - Tire Mismatch
Compare the installed tires and wheels to the certification label. If the tires and wheels match,
continue with the Diagnostic Procedure.
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH THE CERTIFICATION LABEL, compare tires
and wheels to Regular Production Option (RPO) list and set tire psi to the correct value
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH THE CERTIFICATION LABEL OR RPO
AVAILABILITY, swap known good tires and wheels (as called for by the certification label or RPO
list) for the purposes of evaluation only
Set tire pressure to value on the certification label.
1. Spin the front tires to be sure that the front hubs are unlocked. If hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Tire Pull - Swap the front tires from side-to-side and road test. If the concern is not corrected,
continue with next Step.
3. Tire Pull - Swap rear tires from side-to-side and road test. If the concern is not corrected,
continue with next Step.
4. Tire Pull - Swap front tires from front to rear. Set the tire pressure to the required pressure for the
new front and rear positions, then road test.
NOTE:
ON REAR LIMITED SLIP AXLE (FRONT HUB UNLOCKED) DRIFT CONCERNS, IT MAY BE
NECESSARY TO MEASURE TIRE CIRCUMFERENCE AND PLACE A MATCHED SET OF TIRES
ON THE REAR AXLE.
Diagnostic Procedure # 2 - Alignment
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service
Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 969
Wheel Alignment - Measure the front wheel alignment. For out-of-specification vehicles, align to the
"1991-94 Preferred Alignment Specifications" stated in this article.
^ Spin the front tires to be sure that the front hubs are unlocked. If hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels
^ Do not adjust wheel alignment to correct for brake pull if the vehicle does not have pull during
non-brake applications
^ Set the tire pressure to the specification on the certification label
Compare the installed tires and wheels to the certification label. If the tires and wheels match,
continue with the Diagnostic Procedure.
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH THE CERTIFICATION LABEL, compare tires
and wheels to RPO list and set tire pressure to the correct value
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH CERTIFICATION LABEL OR RPO
AVAILABILITY, swap known good tires and wheels (as called for by the certification label or RPO
list) for the purposes of evaluation only
Drive vehicle after alignment is performed.
^ Vehicles which exceed the maximum average caster value shown above may result in shimmy
concerns
^ Vehicles operated below the minimum average caster value shown can result in wander and poor
steering returnability concerns
If the vehicle is not within these minimum and maximum average caster values, or if the vehicle
has experienced any of these listed steering/handling concerns, the average caster should be set
in accordance with ride height/caster chart in the Service Manual.
Diagnostic Procedure # 3 - Tires
1. Spin the front tires to be sure that the front hubs are unlocked. If the hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Measure tire circumference of all four (4) tires; put the two (2) closest circumference tires on the
rear axle. Tire pressure must be equal on all tires.
Diagnostic Procedure # 4 - Steering Gear Valve Off Center
Rotary Valve Centering Check: To confirm that you are looking at a steering gear valve concern, lift
the front wheels off the ground.
^ The vehicle should be raised so that there is no interference with the steering linkage
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service
Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 970
^ The front wheels should also spin freely
With the wheels in a straight ahead position, start the engine and observe any steering wheel or
linkage movement when the engine is started. If any movement is observed, continue with the
rotary valve centering check.
1. Spin the front tires to make sure the front hubs are unlocked. If the hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Install a 0-13,790 kPa (0-2000 psi) pressure gauge (Rotunda 014-00207, Power Steering
Analyzer) in the pressure line between the power steering pump outlet port 1 and the integral
steering gear inlet port. Make sure the valve on the gauge is fully open.
3. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. Add Premium Power Steering Fluid F7AZ-3F823-AA or
equivalent meeting Ford specification ESW-M2C33-F, if necessary.
4. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from stop-to-stop to bring the steering lubricant to
normal operating temperature. Turn off the engine and recheck the fluid level. Add Premium Power
Steering Fluid F7AZ-3F823-AA or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESW-M2C33-F, if
necessary.
5. With the engine running at approximately 1000 rpm and the steering wheel centered, attach a
b-in torque wrench to the steering wheel nut. Apply sufficient torque in each direction to get a
gauge reading of 1723 kPa (250 psi).
6. The torque wrench readings should be the same in both directions at 1723 kPa (250 psi). If the
difference between the readings exceeds 0.68 N.m (6 lb-in), remove the steering gear and replace
the shaft and control assembly.
7. Remove the pressure gauge installed in Step 2.
Diagnostic Procedure # 5 - RBS Linkage
If the RBS linkage is determined to have wind up or memory steer, replace RBS linkage with
greaseable steel linkage.
NOTE:
ALL SERVICE PART STEERING LINKAGE IS THE GREASEABLE STEEL SOCKET TYPE
Diagnostic Procedure # 6 - Brake Imbalance
1. Spin the front tires to make sure the front hubs are unlocked. If the hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Check for front wheel rotational drag with warm/hot brakes.
a. Make a series of 10 stops from speeds of 48 km/h (30 mph).
b. Make the 10 stops with no more than 30 second intervals between stops. This generally will
induce a maximum pull if there is a drift/pull concern.
c. Raise the front end of the vehicle so that both tires are off the ground.
d. Rotate the front wheels by hand.
NOTE:
FOR ALL 4-WHEEL-DRIVE VEHICLES, MAKE SURE THE HUBS ARE DISENGAGED.
Both tires should rotate about the same amount, with little brake drag occuring. Some brake drag
will naturally be present for each size of vehicle.
3. If the vehicle has excess brake drag, proceed as follows:
a. Open the bleed screw on the affected wheel to check for residual pressure in the brake lines. If
there is a squirt of brake fluid out of the bleeder screw and the drag is reduced or eliminated, the
master cylinder may not be allowing the brake fluid to return to the reservoir.
b. Check the master cylinder push rod adjustment. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual,
Section 06-06, for service details.
c. Check the brake pedal to determine if it is fully returning.
4. Remove both calipers and check piston retraction using a C-clamp and wooden block. The
piston should easily move back into the bore under the force of the clamp. Rebuild or replace as
needed.
5. If Steps 1 through 4 have not determined the concern, swap rotors and linings from side-to-side.
NOTE:
SHOE TAB CLEARANCES SHOULD BE CHECKED AND MODIFIED IF NEEDED. REFER TO
FIGURE 2.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service
Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 971
6. Test drive the vehicle with 10 or more stops from 64 km/h (40 mph) before evaluating for brake
drift. If there is no change in drift while braking, it may be assumed the concern is not the result of
the front brakes.
7. Check the rear brakes. Remove the rear wheels and brake drums.
a. Check for contaminants (i.e., grease, axle lube, leaking brake fluid, etc.).
b. Check for broken components, frozen parking brake cables or improperly installed parts.
c. Check the cage diameter using the Brake Shoe Adjustment Gauge (D81L-1103-A). If either side
is out-of-specification, check for proper function of the adjusting mechanism and repair or replace
as required.
d. Check the rear wheel cylinders by the following method.
^ Replace one of the brake drums
^ Have another person apply the brakes and watch for movement of one of the brake shoes on the
other wheel
^ Reapply the brakes while holding in place the shoe that moved. The opposite shoe should now
move. If no movement is observed, repair or replace the wheel cylinder
^ Reinstall the drum and repeat the procedure for the other rear brake
8. If the condition still exists, swap rear shoes from side-to-side and drive the vehicle. If the drift is
significantly reduced, replace the rear linings. If the pull/drift is not significantly reduced, go to
Service Procedure # 7.
Diagnostic Procedure # 7 - Miscellaneous
Check for loose, damaged or excessively worn parts. Visually inspect the front suspension for
loose or worn components (i.e., ball joints, radius arm bushings, radius arm attachments at the axle
and frame, alignment adjusters, steering linkage, etc.). Repair or replace as required.

Compare the installed tires and wheels to the certification label. If the tires and wheels match,
continue with the Diagnostic Procedure.
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH THE CERTIFICATION LABEL, compare tires
and wheels to Regular Production Option (RPO) list and set tire psi to the correct value
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH THE CERTIFICATION LABEL OR RPO
AVAILABILITY, swap known good tires and wheels (as called for by the certification label or RPO
list) for the purposes of evaluation only
Set tire pressure to value on the certification label.
1. Spin the front tires to be sure that the front hubs are unlocked. If hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Tire Pull - Swap the front tires from side-to-side and road test. If the concern is not corrected,
continue with next Step.
3. Tire Pull - Swap rear tires from side-to-side and road test. If the concern is not corrected,
continue with next Step.

4. Tire Pull - Swap front tires from front to rear. Set the tire pressure to the required pressure for the
new front and rear positions, then road test.
NOTE:
ON REAR LIMITED SLIP AXLE (FRONT HUB UNLOCKED) DRIFT CONCERNS, IT MAY BE
NECESSARY TO MEASURE TIRE CIRCUMFERENCE AND PLACE A MATCHED SET OF TIRES
ON THE REAR AXLE.
Diagnostic Procedure # 2 - Alignment
Wheel Alignment - Measure the front wheel alignment. For out-of-specification vehicles, align to the
"1991-94 Preferred Alignment Specifications" stated in this article.
^ Spin the front tires to be sure that the front hubs are unlocked. If hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels
^ Do not adjust wheel alignment to correct for brake pull if the vehicle does not have pull during
non-brake applications
^ Set the tire pressure to the specification on the certification label
Compare the installed tires and wheels to the certification label. If the tires and wheels match,
continue with the Diagnostic Procedure.
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH THE CERTIFICATION LABEL, compare tires
and wheels to RPO list and set tire pressure to the correct value
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH CERTIFICATION LABEL OR RPO
AVAILABILITY, swap known good tires and wheels (as called for by the certification label or RPO
list) for the purposes of evaluation only
Drive vehicle after alignment is performed.
^ Vehicles which exceed the maximum average caster value shown above may result in shimmy
concerns
^ Vehicles operated below the minimum average caster value shown can result in wander and poor
steering returnability concerns
If the vehicle is not within these minimum and maximum average caster values, or if the vehicle
has experienced any of these listed steering/handling concerns, the average caster should be set
in accordance with ride height/caster chart in the Service Manual.
Diagnostic Procedure # 3 - Tires
1. Spin the front tires to be sure that the front hubs are unlocked. If the hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service
Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 978
2. Measure tire circumference of all four (4) tires; put the two (2) closest circumference tires on the
rear axle. Tire pressure must be equal on all tires.
Diagnostic Procedure # 4 - Steering Gear Valve Off Center
Rotary Valve Centering Check: To confirm that you are looking at a steering gear valve concern, lift
the front wheels off the ground.
^ The vehicle should be raised so that there is no interference with the steering linkage
^ The front wheels should also spin freely
With the wheels in a straight ahead position, start the engine and observe any steering wheel or
linkage movement when the engine is started. If any movement is observed, continue with the
rotary valve centering check.
1. Spin the front tires to make sure the front hubs are unlocked. If the hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Install a 0-13,790 kPa (0-2000 psi) pressure gauge (Rotunda 014-00207, Power Steering
Analyzer) in the pressure line between the power steering pump outlet port 1 and the integral
steering gear inlet port. Make sure the valve on the gauge is fully open.
3. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. Add Premium Power Steering Fluid F7AZ-3F823-AA or
equivalent meeting Ford specification ESW-M2C33-F, if necessary.
4. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from stop-to-stop to bring the steering lubricant to
normal operating temperature. Turn off the engine and recheck the fluid level. Add Premium Power
Steering Fluid F7AZ-3F823-AA or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESW-M2C33-F, if
necessary.
5. With the engine running at approximately 1000 rpm and the steering wheel centered, attach a
b-in torque wrench to the steering wheel nut. Apply sufficient torque in each direction to get a
gauge reading of 1723 kPa (250 psi).
6. The torque wrench readings should be the same in both directions at 1723 kPa (250 psi). If the
difference between the readings exceeds 0.68 N.m (6 lb-in), remove the steering gear and replace
the shaft and control assembly.
7. Remove the pressure gauge installed in Step 2.
Diagnostic Procedure # 5 - RBS Linkage
If the RBS linkage is determined to have wind up or memory steer, replace RBS linkage with
greaseable steel linkage.
NOTE:
ALL SERVICE PART STEERING LINKAGE IS THE GREASEABLE STEEL SOCKET TYPE
Diagnostic Procedure # 6 - Brake Imbalance
1. Spin the front tires to make sure the front hubs are unlocked. If the hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Check for front wheel rotational drag with warm/hot brakes.
a. Make a series of 10 stops from speeds of 48 km/h (30 mph).
b. Make the 10 stops with no more than 30 second intervals between stops. This generally will
induce a maximum pull if there is a drift/pull concern.
c. Raise the front end of the vehicle so that both tires are off the ground.
d. Rotate the front wheels by hand.
NOTE:
FOR ALL 4-WHEEL-DRIVE VEHICLES, MAKE SURE THE HUBS ARE DISENGAGED.
Both tires should rotate about the same amount, with little brake drag occuring. Some brake drag
will naturally be present for each size of vehicle.
3. If the vehicle has excess brake drag, proceed as follows:
a. Open the bleed screw on the affected wheel to check for residual pressure in the brake lines. If
there is a squirt of brake fluid out of the bleeder screw and the drag is reduced or eliminated, the
master cylinder may not be allowing the brake fluid to return to the reservoir.
b. Check the master cylinder push rod adjustment. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual,
Section 06-06, for service details.
c. Check the brake pedal to determine if it is fully returning.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service
Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 979
4. Remove both calipers and check piston retraction using a C-clamp and wooden block. The
piston should easily move back into the bore under the force of the clamp. Rebuild or replace as
needed.
5. If Steps 1 through 4 have not determined the concern, swap rotors and linings from side-to-side.
NOTE:
SHOE TAB CLEARANCES SHOULD BE CHECKED AND MODIFIED IF NEEDED. REFER TO
FIGURE 2.
6. Test drive the vehicle with 10 or more stops from 64 km/h (40 mph) before evaluating for brake
drift. If there is no change in drift while braking, it may be assumed the concern is not the result of
the front brakes.
7. Check the rear brakes. Remove the rear wheels and brake drums.
a. Check for contaminants (i.e., grease, axle lube, leaking brake fluid, etc.).
b. Check for broken components, frozen parking brake cables or improperly installed parts.
c. Check the cage diameter using the Brake Shoe Adjustment Gauge (D81L-1103-A). If either side
is out-of-specification, check for proper function of the adjusting mechanism and repair or replace
as required.
d. Check the rear wheel cylinders by the following method.
^ Replace one of the brake drums
^ Have another person apply the brakes and watch for movement of one of the brake shoes on the
other wheel
^ Reapply the brakes while holding in place the shoe that moved. The opposite shoe should now
move. If no movement is observed, repair or replace the wheel cylinder
^ Reinstall the drum and repeat the procedure for the other rear brake
8. If the condition still exists, swap rear shoes from side-to-side and drive the vehicle. If the drift is
significantly reduced, replace the rear linings. If the pull/drift is not significantly reduced, go to
Service Procedure # 7.
Diagnostic Procedure # 7 - Miscellaneous
Check for loose, damaged or excessively worn parts. Visually inspect the front suspension for
loose or worn components (i.e., ball joints, radius arm bushings, radius arm attachments at the axle
and frame, alignment adjusters, steering linkage, etc.). Repair or replace as required.

Alignment: Service and Repair Vehicle Lean Correction
Front Lean
NOTE: Codes identifying the front and rear spring options and springs are printed on the Safety
Standard Certification Label. If a spring requires replacement because of damage or sagging,
replace only with the same part as specified on the label. In rare instances, the spring codes will
not reflect the springs as installed due to a DSO option or Assembly Plant substitution. if a DSO
option number is shown on the certification label, the district office can establish whether springs
are affected. If the factory-installed springs do not agree with the code printed on the Safety
Standard Certification Label (right and left spring part number should match), it is advisable to
replace springs in pairs.
1. Measure the left and right front ride heights by measuring the height of the right and left front
fender lip openings. Add 8 mm (5/16 inch) to the
right side ride height measurement.
2. Compute the difference between left and right ride heights as figured in Step 1 above.
a. If the difference exceeds 3-9 mm (1/8-3/8 inch) and is less than 19 mm (3/4 inch) measured at
the wheelhouse opening to ground, add 1 shim
to the side of the vehicle that is low.
b. The shim is to be placed under the lower spring seat; service shim (part number 389117-S2) can
be used without a front stabilizer bar. c. If there is a computed side-to-side difference of 19 mm (3/4
inch) or more in the left/right wheelhouse openings, swap front coil springs from
side-to-side. If the lean condition follows the spring (lean now on other side of the vehicle), replace
both springs with new ones.
d. Changing front ride height by adding the service shim also affects caster angles. Adding the 4.5
mm thick shim (part number 389117-S2 or
equivalent) may reduce caster by up to 0.40 degrees on the side to which the shim is added.
Rear Lean
With the underslung rear suspension, use of shims will not have any effect on a lean condition. Use
the following procedure to verify and correct a rear lean condition.
1. Measure rear ride height by measuring the height of the right and left rear fender lip openings. 2.
Compute the difference. 3. Inspect the vehicle for any excess loads which might weigh the vehicle
down on one side more than the other. Usually a weight of at least 50
pounds is required to cause such a lean.
4. If lean condition is not caused by weight, swap the rear springs from side-to-side. 5. If the lean
changes sides, the lean condition is most likely caused by a bad spring. Replace both springs. 6. If
the lean condition did not change when the springs were changed, factors other than suspension
are the cause.
Side-to-Side Lean
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Service and Repair > Camber > Page 988
1. Side-to-side vehicle lean should be verified by measuring the fender lip-to-ground dimensions A
and B.
Normal acceptable limits are: a. Maximum of 16 mm (5/8 inch) variance between left and right front
wheel lips to ground. b. Maximum of 19 mm (3/4 inch) variance between left and right rear wheel
lips to ground.
2. Once a lean condition has been verified, perform the following steps.
a. Place the vehicle on a flat, smooth surface. Vehicles must be sitting on the wheels and tires, not
on a hoist, jack or jack stands. b. Inspect vehicle for any heavy add-ons that may cause excessive
weight on any corner of the vehicle. Vehicle should be empty, fuel tanks full,
no cargo in the pick-up box or rear body section.
c. Check all wheels and tires:
- Wheel size and design, tire size and tread should be indicated on the Vehicle Safety Standard
Certification Label.
- Wheels must be same size and design, right and left side, on each axle.
- Tires must be same brand, tire size, tread design and equal tread wear side-to-side on each axle.
- Check air pressure of all tires; inflate to specifications indicated on the Vehicle Safety Standard
Certification Label.
d. Check front and rear suspension. Verify the same spring is on left/right front and left/right rear.
- Front coil springs have I.D. tags indicating the part number.
- Rear springs have the part number stamped on the bottom left just behind the U-bolt attachment.
- If I.D. tags are missing from the front springs, there is no sure way of identifying which springs are
installed on the vehicle. It is advisable to order springs in pairs only.
e. Bounce the vehicle's front and rear suspension to normalize the vehicle static ride height. f.
Measure the height of the right and left fender lip openings again. If the differences are still greater
than 16 mm (5/8 inch) between left or right front and/or 19 mm (3/4 inch) between left and right
rear, factors other than suspension are the cause.

Idle Speed: Adjustments
NOTE: Curb and fast idle speeds are controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and Idle
Air Control (IAC) valve assembly. The IAC valve and idle speed is not adjustable. A large increase
or decrease in closed plate airflow from the calibrated level will not allow effective idle speed
control.
Throttle Body Assembly
Throttle bodies with sludge tolerant design are identified with a yellow/black decal. The throttle
body must not be cleaned inside the bore, as this cleaning will impair the sensitive coating. Sludge
accumulation will not affect the idle air flow. The cleaning procedure for the IAC valve still applies.
RPM LIMIT CHECK PROCEDURE - Self-Test constant tone
STAR tester or equivalent scanner required
1. Activate engine running Self-Test.
2. After diagnostic trouble code 11 or 111 has been displayed, unlatch and within 4 seconds latch
the Self-Test Input (STI) button.
3. A single pulse code indicates the entry mode, then observe the Self-Test Output (STO) of the
STAR tester.
- A constant tone, solid light or "STO LO" readout indicates base idle rpm is within range.
- Beeping tone, flashing light, or STO LO readout at 8.0 Hz indicates Throttle Position (TP) is out of
range due to over adjustment.
- Beeping tone, flashing light, or STO LO readout at 4.0 Hz indicates base idle rpm is too fast.
- Beeping tone, flashing light, or STO LO readout at 1.0 Hz indicates base idle is too slow.
4. To exit test, unlatch STI button, then wait 4 seconds for reinitialization (after 10 minutes it will exit
by itself).
5. If the idle rpm (engine warm, in Neutral, A/C "Off") is not within limits, refer to Testing and

Ignition Timing Connector: Description and Operation SPOUT / SAW Connector Operation
Spout/SAW Connector
DESCRIPTION
The Spark Angle Word (SAW),or Spark Output (SPOUT) connector is used to open and close the
circuit between the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)and the Ignition Control Module (ICM) for
checking base timing.
OPERATION
When the SPOUT or SAW connector is inserted in the harness connector, the ICM operates
according to PCM timing data (computed timing). When the SPOUT or SAW connector is removed
from the harness connector, the ICM operates on the Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) signal only (base
timing).

Ignition Timing Connector: Description and Operation Octane Adjustment Switch Operation
In-line Connector With Shorting Bar
PURPOSE The octane adjustment switch is used to retard the ignition timing approximately three
degrees to reduce detonation due to use of lower grade fuels.
OPERATION When the switch jumper is INSTALLED, the computed timing is normal. With the
jumper REMOVED, the timing computed is retarded approximately three degrees. This is done to
allow for optimum spark advance for effective combustion of the air/fuel mixture.

REMOVAL:
1. When removing spark plug wires from the spark plugs, use the spark plug wire remover
T74P-6666-A or equivalent. Grasp and twist the boot back and forth on the plug insulator to free
the boot.
2. Use the special tool or equivalent to pull the boot from the plug. Do not pull on the wire directly,
as it may become separated from the connector inside the boot.
3. To remove the wires from the coil pack, squeeze the locking tabs of the coil wire retainer and
remove using a twisting and pulling motion. Do not pull on the wire.
INSTALLATION:
CAUTION: Proper installation of spark plug wires is critical to vehicle operation. If one spark plug
wire is not properly installed on the spark plug or ignition coil, both spark plugs connected to that
coil may not fire under load.
1. Whenever a high tension wire is removed for any reason from a spark plug or ignition coil, or a
new high tension wire is installed, Silicone Dielectric Compound D7AZ-19A331-A or equivalent
must be applied to the boot prior to installation. Using a small tool, coat the entire interior surface of
the boot.
2. Install each wire on the proper ignition coil terminal. The terminal cylinder numbers are identified
on the ignition coil pack. Ensure that both coil boot retainer locking tabs have engaged.
3. Remove the wire retaining brackets from the old wiring set and install the brackets on the new
wires in the same position. Install the wires and retaining brackets on the engine.
4. Connect the wires to the proper Spark plugs.

Engine Coolant - Propylene Glycol Recommendations > Page 1097
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.

Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection Fluid Level Check
CHECKING OIL LEVEL
1. With transmission in Park, engine at curb idle RPM, foot brakes applied, and vehicle on a level
surface, move transmission selector lever through
each range. Allow time in each range for transmission to engage, then return to Park and apply
parking brake fully.
NOTE: If vehicle has been operated for an extended period at high speed, in city traffic during hot
weather, or pulling a trailer, the vehicle should be turned off for about 30 minutes to allow the fluid
to cool before checking.
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with 4X4 applications must have the 4X4 shift selector in any position
other than neutral.
CAUTION: Your vehicle should not be driven if the fluid level is below the bottom hole on the
dipstick and outside temperatures are above 10°C (50°F).
2. Clean all dirt from transmission dipstick cap. 3. Pull dipstick out of filler tube, wipe clean, and
push dipstick back all the way into the filler tube, ensuring it is full seated. 4. Pull dipstick out of
tube again and check fluid level as follows:
a. With transmission at operating temperature, 150° F-170° F, fluid level should be within the cross
hatched area. b. With transmission at room temperature, 70° F-95° F, fluid should be between
middle and top holes.
5. If it is necessary to add fluid, use only Dexron II or equivalent.
CAUTION: The use of fluid other than that specified could result in transmission malfunction and/or
failure.
6. Install dipstick, ensuring it is fully seated in tube.
Adding Fluid
1. The fluid type is stamped on the dipstick. Before adding any fluid, be sure that the correct type
will be used. 2. Add fluid in .25L (1/2 pint) increments through the filler tube to bring the level to the
correct area on the dipstick. If an overfill occurs, excess
fluid should be removed.
Overfill can cause the fluid to foam and spill out through the transmission vent resulting in a
transmission malfunction.
Undertill can result in transmission loss of engagement or slipping. This condition is most evident in
cold weather or when the vehicle is parked or being driven on a hill.
If the transmission fluid level is checked when the fluid is at room temperature the dipstick could
indicate that fluid should be added if the dipstick is misread. If fluid is added at this time, an overfill
condition could result when the fluid reaches operating temperatures of 66° C-77°C (150°F-170°F)
(dipstick hot to touch).

1. Ensure linkage is properly adjusted and fluid level and control pressure are within specifications.
2. Remove transmission dipstick from filler tube and insert funnel in tube. 3. Raise and support
vehicle. 4. Remove cooler return line from its fitting in the case, attach a hose to cooler return line
and fasten free end of hose in funnel installed in filler tube. 5. Start engine and set idle at 1,000
RPM with transmission in Neutral. 6. Observe fluid flow at funnel. When flow is constant, it should
be liberal. If there is not a liberal flow at 1,000 RPM in Neutral, low pump capacity,
main circuit system leakage, stuck converter charge relief valve, or cooler system restriction is
indicated.
7. To separate transmission trouble from cooler system trouble, observe flow at transmission case
converter-out fitting.

Fluid - A/T: Service and Repair
NOTE: MERCON Automatic Transmission Fluid is being replaced by MERCON V as a service
fluid.
FLUID CHANGE
NOTE: Normal maintenance and lubrication requirements do not necessitate periodic fluid
changes. If a major failure has occurred in the transmission, it will have to be removed for service.
At that time the converter, transmission cooler, and cooler lines must be flushed to remove any dirt.
If vehicle accumulates 5,000 or more miles per month or is used in continuous stop and go service,
change fluid every 30,000 miles as described. Procedures for partial drain and refill, due to
in-vehicle service operation, are as follows:
1. Loosen pan attaching bolts and drain fluid. 2. Remove and thoroughly clean pan and screen,
discarding pan gasket. 3. Place new gasket on pan and install pan on transmission. 4. Add 3 quarts
of fluid to transmission through filler tube. 5. Check fluid level following room normal operating
checking procedures.
NOTE: When filling a dry transmission and converter, approximate retill capacity is 9 quarts. Make
final check using normal operating temperature checking procedures.

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

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

A/C Refrigerant Analyzer Function
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))

A/C - Identification of Non Approved Refrigerants > Page 1145
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 Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Refrigerant > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
A/C - Identification of Non Approved Refrigerants > Page 1146
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.

Brake Bleeding: Description and Operation
WARNING: Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash
hands thoroughly after handling. If brake fluid contacts eyes, flush with running water for 15
minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally, drink water and induce
vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.
NOTE: When any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for repair or replacement, air
may get into the lines and cause spongy pedal action. This requires the bleeding of the hydraulic
system after it has been properly connected to be sure all air is expelled from the brake cylinders
and lines. The hydraulic system can be bled manually or with pressure bleeding equipment such as
Rotunda(r) brake bleeder 104-00064 or equivalent.
Bleed one brake cylinder at a time. Start the bleeding at the right rear brake wheel cylinder and
then the left rear wheel brake cylinder. Then proceed to bleed the front brakes, starting with the
right front brake and finish bleeding on the left front brake.
Keep the brake master cylinder reservoir filled with the specified Ford Heavy Duty Brake Fluid
C6AZ-19542-AA or BA (ESA-M6C25-A) or equivalent. Never use brake fluid that has been drained
from the system.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Manual Bleeding
WARNING: Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash
hands thoroughly after handling. If brake fluid contacts eyes, flush 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 master cylinder reservoirs filled with the specified brake fluid. Never reuse the
fluid that has been drained from the hydraulic system.
NOTE: Bleed the primary and secondary hydraulic brake systems separately.
Master Cylinder Reservoir
1. On the brake master cylinder reservoir, loosen the master cylinder-to-hydraulic line fittings. 2.
Wrap a shop cloth around the tubing below the fitting to absorb escaping brake fluid. 3. Push the
brake pedal down slowly to the floor of the cab. This will force air trapped in the brake master
cylinder reservoir to escape at the fitting. 4. Hold the brake pedal down and tighten the fitting.
Release the brake pedal.
NOTE: Do not release the brake pedal until the fitting is tightened or air will re-enter the brake
master cylinder reservoir.
5. Repeat this procedure until air ceases to escape at the fitting.

6. Place a box wrench on the bleeder fitting on the rear anti-lock brake system valve. Attach a
rubber drain tube to the bleeder fitting making sure the
end of the tube fits snugly around the bleeder fitting. a. Submerge the free end of the tube in a
container partially filled with clean brake fluid. Loosen the bleeder fitting approximately
three-quarters
of a turn.
b. Slowly press the brake pedal all the way down. Close the bleeder fitting, and return the brake
pedal to the fully-released position. Repeat this
operation until air bubbles no longer appear at the submerged end of the bleeder tube.
c. When the fluid is completely free of air bubbles, close the bleeder fitting and remove the bleeder
tube.
7. Place a box wrench on the right brake wheel cylinder. Attach a rubber drain tube to the bleeder
fitting making sure the end of the tube fits snugly

around the bleeder fitting.
8. Submerge the free end of the tube in a container partially filled with clean brake fluid. Loosen the
bleeder fitting approximately three-quarters of a
turn.
9. Slowly push the brake pedal all the way down. Close the bleeder fitting, and return the brake
pedal to the fully-released position. Repeat this
operation until air bubbles no longer appear at the submerged end of the bleeder tube.
10. When the fluid is completely free of air bubbles, close the bleeder fitting and remove the
bleeder tube. 11. Repeat this procedure at the left brake wheel cylinder on the opposite side. Refill
the brake master cylinder reservoir after each wheel cylinder is
bled.
12. Bleed the front brakes starting with the right front brake and then the left front brake as
described in Steps 7-11 of this procedure. 13. When the bleeding operation is complete, fill the
brake master cylinder to the maximum level line of the brake master cylinder reservoir.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Pressure Bleeding
WARNING: Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash
hands thoroughly after handling. If brake fluid contacts eyes, flush 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: Be sure the bleeder tank contains enough specified brake fluid (Ford Heavy Duty Brake
Fluid C6AZ-19542-AA or BA [ESA-M6C25-A] or equivalent), to complete the bleeding operation.
Charge the tank with approximately 69-206 kPa (10-30 psi) of air pressure. Never exceed 345 kPa
(50 psi) of pressure. Never re-use brake fluid that has been drained from the hydraulic system.
NOTE: Bleed the longest line first.
1. Clean all dirt from the brake master cylinder filler cap.
NOTE: Master cylinder pressure bleeder adapter tools are available from various manufacturers of
pressure bleeding equipment. Follow the instructions of the manufacturer when installing the
adapter.
2. Remove the brake master cylinder filler cap, and fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with the
specified brake fluid. Install the pressure bleeder
adapter tool, Rotunda Brake Bleeder model 104-00064 or equivalent to the brake master cylinder,
and attach the bleeder tank hose to the fitting on the adapter.
3. Place a 3/8-inch box wrench on the bleeder fitting on the right rear brake wheel cylinder. Attach
a bleeder tube snugly around the bleeder fitting. 4. open the valve on the bleeder tank to admit
pressurized brake fluid to the master cylinder reservoir. 5. Submerge the free end of the tube on
the wheel cylinder in a partially filled container of clean brake fluid. Loosen the bleeder fitting. 6.
When air bubbles no longer appear in the fluid at the submerged end of the bleeder tube, close the
bleeder fitting and remove the tube. Move on to
the left rear, the right front, and finally left front.
7. When the bleeding operation is completed, close the bleeder tank valve and remove the tank

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Priming Brake System
NOTE: When a brake master cylinder (2140) has been installed, or the brake system emptied or
partially emptied, fluid may not flow from the bleeder screws during normal bleeding. It may be
necessary to prime the brake master cylinder using the following procedure:
1. Use a tubing wrench to remove the front brake tube (2264) and the brake master cylinder outlet
rear tube from the brake master cylinder. 2. Install short brake tubes in the brake master cylinder
and position them so that they curve into the brake master cylinder reservoir (2K478), and the
ends of the tubes are submerged in brake fluid.
3. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with new Ford High Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid
C6AZ-19542-AA or equivalent DOT 3 fluid meeting
Ford specification ESA-M6C25-A.
4. Have an assistant pump the brakes until clear, bubble-free fluid flows from both brake tubes.
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.
5. Remove the short brake tubes and reinstall the front brake tube and brake master cylinder outlet
rear tube on the brake master cylinder. 6. Bleed each brake tube at the brake master cylinder using
the following procedure:
a. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal (2455) 10 times and then hold firm pressure on the
brake pedal. b. On the brake master cylinder, loosen the rearmost brake tube fitting with a tubing
wrench until a stream of brake fluid comes out. Have an
assistant maintain pressure on the brake pedal until the brake tube fitting is tightened again.
c. Repeat this operation until clear, bubble-free fluid comes out from around the tube fitting. Refill
the brake master cylinder reservoir as
necessary.
d. Repeat this bleeding operation at the front brake tube fitting.
7. If any of the brake tubes, disc brake calipers, or rear wheel cylinders have been removed, it may
be helpful to prime the system by gravity
bleeding. This should be done after the brake master cylinder is primed and bled.
8. To gravity bleed the brake system:
a. Fill the brake master cylinder with new Ford High Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid
C6AZ-19542-AA or equivalent DOT 3 fluid meeting Ford
specification ESA-M6C25-A.
b. Loosen both of the rear bleeder screws and leave them open until clear brake fluid flows. Be
sure to check the brake master cylinder reservoir
fluid level often and do not let it run dry.
c. Tighten the wheel cylinder bleeder screws to 7-9 Nm (62-79 in- lb). Tighten rear caliper bleed
screws to 17-24 Nm (13-17 ft-lb). d. One at a time, loosen the front caliper bleeder screws. Leave
the bleeder screws open until clear fluid flows. Check the fluid level often in the
brake master cylinder reservoir and do not let it run dry.
e. Tighten the front caliper bleeder screws to 17-24 Nm (13-17 ft-lb).
9. After the brake system has been primed, bleed the brake system at each wheel.
NOTE: Keep the brake master cylinder reservoir filled with Ford High Performance DOT 3 Brake
Fluid C6AZ-19542-AA or equivalent DOT 3 fluid meeting Ford specification ESA-M6C25-A. Never
use brake fluid that has been drained from the system.

ISSUE: Some vehicles may have a disconnect of the Ignition Control Module (ICM) connector or
moisture buildup within the connector. This can cause hard to start/no start, rough idle, or "check
engine light" illumination concerns. The improved gasket and connector retainer that are currently
used in production are now available for service of prior model distributorless ignition systems.
ACTION: Install new Connector Sleeve Retainer Clip and a current production seal (gasket). The
clip assembles in between the connector beams and the ICM which will prevent accidental
disconnects. The new seal is a "solid silicone" gasket that provides improved resistance to
moisture entry into the connector. Refer to the ICM Connector Harness Wire Service kit
(F5CZ-14A411-AA) for service details (I.S. 6621).

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
To alert the vehicle operator of a malfunction in the electronic engine control system.
OPERATION
The Malfunction Indicator will light with the ignition switch in the ON position prior to cranking, and
goes out when the engine starts. If a fault develops, the powertrain control module will turn the
indicator ON.

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Service Reminder Indicators > Oil Level Warning Indicator > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Page 1396
Oil Level Warning Indicator: Testing and Inspection
With oil level at FULL mark on oil dipstick and engine oil warm to assure that oil drains properly
from oil sensor, turn ignition ON and start engine. Warning lamp should come on briefly in START
for bulb test, then go out. Turn engine OFF. Drain two quarts of oil from engine. Wait approximately
five minutes, then restart engine. Warning lamp should come on and stay on. If warning lamp does
not come on check fuse, low oil level relay, low oil level sensor and lamp.

Attachment I - Administrative Information
OASIS
OASIS must be used to determine vehicle eligibility.
IMPORTANT:
When an eligible vehicle is at the dealership for service, OASIS must be contacted to determine if
Owner Notification Program 01B77 is open. If 01B77 is listed in OASIS as open, it is important that
the vehicle is inspected for eligible tires. If the eligible vehicle is not equipped with 15-, 16-, or
17-inch Firestone Wilderness AT tires a claim must be submitted using labor operation 01B77A to
close the program. If an affected vehicle does not have 01B77 open, this may indicate that a refund
or tire replacement has already been processed on this vehicle.
Some Ford and Lincoln Mercury vehicles not listed in the AFFECTED TIRES AND VEHICLES list
may have 15-, 16-, or 17-inch Firestone Wilderness AT tires installed. These vehicles are covered
under this program, but will not be active in OASIS. Contact the Special Service Support Center at
1-800-325-5621 to obtain prior approval before performing the repair or issuing a refund. This will
insure that a previous repair/refund has not been performed on the vehicle.
CLAIMS PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION
^ Enter claims using DWE.
^ Refer to ACESII User Manual for claims preparation and submission information.
^ Enter information on a Recall/ONP claim type. DO NOT use a Warranty Claim type.

RELATED DAMAGE
Vehicle damage caused by a tire related failure is not covered by this program. Refer to the
Warranty and Policy Manual for proper claiming procedure for vehicles covered by the Ford
Bumper-to-Bumper Tire Warranty (model years 2001 and 2002). All other pre-2001 model year
vehicles with alleged tire related vehicle damage should be handled through the Firestone claims
process, or by referring the customers to their insurance company.
Damage related to replacement of tires should be handled as described in the Warranty and Policy
Manual.
OWNER REFUND
With the increased availability of replacement tires, it will no longer be necessary for customers to
pay out-of-pocket expenses for tires. Therefore, refund requests for tires purchased after
November 15, 2001 will no longer be granted. Owners will be notified of the refund expiration date
and will be directed to a Ford or Mercury dealer They are directed to an authorized retailer only if
the Ford or Mercury dealer cannot meet their scheduling needs or tires are not in stock. All Ford
and Mercury dealers (AtW and non-AtW dealers) are required to process refunds for customers
who purchase tires prior to November 15, 2001.
The following rules apply to refunds for tires purchased from August 1, 2001 through November 15,
2001:
Refunds will be processed for vehicles listed under "AFFECTED TIRES AND VEHICLES", and for
other Ford and Lincoln Mercury vehicles that have 15-. 16-, or 17-inch Wilderness AT tires
installed.
^ The customer must provide the original paid receipt (a copy of their paid receipt is acceptable on
an exception basis in instances where the owner requires the original for another purpose (e.g.
extended tire warranty or purchase rebate). The dealer will attach the receipt to the dealer file copy
of the refund claim (see claim instructions below).
^ Dealers will be reimbursed to immediately disable tires returned for a refund (see claiming
instructions for refunds and Attachment II for labor operations).
^ The tires must be purchased August 1, 2000 through November 15, 2001 to be eligible for a
refund (through October 31, 2001 for 1995 and 1996 F-150 owners).

NOTE:
This does not apply to 1995 and 1996 F-150 customers.
^ The Firestone Wilderness AT tires that were replaced. Returned tire(s) are to be disabled by the
dealership. Ford will reimburse the dealer to disable (see claim instructions below and use labor
operation 01B77G). If tires are brought in for refund with the DOT codes missing dealers should not
process the refund.
^ A section of the old tire(s) containing the DOT codes from each of the Firestone Wilderness AT
tires that were replaced (To be cut from the Wilderness AT tires that were replaced by the outside
repair facility) (use labor operation 01B77L). Dealers should deface (cut in pieces or make code
unreadable) the DOT sections of the tire so they cannot be used to obtain another refund. If
sections are brought in for refund with the DOT code defaced dealers should not process the
refund.
NOTE:
The DOT Code Identification Guide has been developed to help dealers determine if the DOT
sections returned to the dealership are from 15-, 16-,

OVERVIEW
This program details the replacement of 15-, 16-, and 17-inch Firestone Wilderness AT tires
regardless of production plant. You will need to perform a DOT code inspection prior to replacing
the 15, 16, or 17-inch Wilderness AT tires.
NOTE:
When lowering or raising an under-vehicle spare, DO NOT use power tools. Also make sure that
the spare is secure under the vehicle, and not swinging loose. The spare tire winch will ratchet
when the tire is completely stowed.
NOTE:
Radial ATX "TEMPORARY USE" spare tires are not included under this program, and should not
be replaced as part of this program.
NOTE:
Spare tires should always be replaced with the exact same size tire; otherwise the spare tire may
not store in the proper position on the vehicle.
INSPECTION
1. Inspect the vehicle tires (including the spare tire) for the presence of Firestone Wilderness AT
tires.
2. If Firestone Wilderness AT tires are present replace them with a suitable replacement from the
"Approved Tire List".
Note:
There may be cases where a vehicle is equipped with 15-, 16-, or 17-inch Firestone Wilderness AT
tire sizes that are not included on the Ford-approved replacement list. These tires are not original
equipment (OE) and, therefore, will not have an approved tire listed. In such cases, it is
recommended that the customer install the proper OE tire, or have a tire of suitable quality
installed. Reference the vehicle's "Safety Certification Label" and current "Ford Motor Company
Tire Price Guide" for OE or suitable replacement recommendations.
3. If only one Firestone Wilderness AT road tire is present on the vehicle, you will need to replace
the opposing tire on the same axle. However, if one (1) front and one (1) rear tire are Wilderness
AT you would not automatically replace all four (4) tires instead, you would replace the two (2)
Wilderness AT tires and place them on the same axle.
4. Record the DOT code from each removed tire(s) on the repair order.
5. Tires that are removed from vehicles must immediately be made unusable by either cutting
through the bead and DOT code with bolt cutters, or drilling a one-inch diameter hole (directly on
the DOT code to make the code unreadable) in the sidewall.
6. Adjust all tires to the proper inflation pressure, and release the vehicle. For specifications, refer
to the vehicle Owner's Manual or the vehicle certification label located on the driver's door opening.
NOTE:
Tires that are removed from vehicles under this program, and those in dealer inventory must
immediately be made unusable by either cutting the bead with bolt cutters or drilling a 1" diameter
hole (directly on the DOT code to make the code unreadable) in the sidewall. Defacing the DOT
code will prevent the tire from being used for an additional refund request.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is a 4X4, and is equipped with non-Firestone Wilderness AT tires on one axle, and the
replacement tires for the Firestone equipped axle causes a mismatch with the existing
non-Firestone axle, the customer is responsible for the tire mismatch. If the customer refuses to
purchase matching tires to correct the mismatch - the dealer should annotate the repair order to
reflect the customer's decision.

distribution chain and process reimbursement as outlined in Attachment I.
FORD AND LINCOLN MERCURY DEALERS NOT ENROLLED IN AROUND THE WHEEL (AtW)
Dealers not enrolled in the ATW/Ford Tire Program can inspect customer vehicles (see
Attachments I & II for claiming instructions & labor operations). These dealers should make
individual arrangements with local Firestone outlets for tire replacement, or refer customers to their
local Firestone outlet.
SERVICE PROCEDURE

Attachment I - Administrative Information
OASIS
OASIS must be used to determine vehicle eligibility.
IMPORTANT:
When an eligible vehicle is at the dealership for service, OASIS must be contacted to determine if
Owner Notification Program 01B77 is open. If 01B77 is listed in OASIS as open, it is important that
the vehicle is inspected for eligible tires. If the eligible vehicle is not equipped with 15-, 16-, or
17-inch Firestone Wilderness AT tires a claim must be submitted using labor operation 01B77A to
close the program. If an affected vehicle does not have 01B77 open, this may indicate that a refund
or tire replacement has already been processed on this vehicle.
Some Ford and Lincoln Mercury vehicles not listed in the AFFECTED TIRES AND VEHICLES list
may have 15-, 16-, or 17-inch Firestone Wilderness AT tires installed. These vehicles are covered
under this program, but will not be active in OASIS. Contact the Special Service Support Center at
1-800-325-5621 to obtain prior approval before performing the repair or issuing a refund. This will
insure that a previous repair/refund has not been performed on the vehicle.
CLAIMS PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION
^ Enter claims using DWE.
^ Refer to ACESII User Manual for claims preparation and submission information.
^ Enter information on a Recall/ONP claim type. DO NOT use a Warranty Claim type.
^ Program code 01B77.

process, or by referring the customers to their insurance company.
Damage related to replacement of tires should be handled as described in the Warranty and Policy
Manual.

November 15, 2001 will no longer be granted. Owners will be notified of the refund expiration date
and will be directed to a Ford or Mercury dealer They are directed to an authorized retailer only if
the Ford or Mercury dealer cannot meet their scheduling needs or tires are not in stock. All Ford

of the refund claim (see claim instructions below).
^ Dealers will be reimbursed to immediately disable tires returned for a refund (see claiming
instructions for refunds and Attachment II for labor operations).

unreadable) the DOT sections of the tire so they cannot be used to obtain another refund. If
sections are brought in for refund with the DOT code defaced dealers should not process the
refund.

OVERVIEW
This program details the replacement of 15-, 16-, and 17-inch Firestone Wilderness AT tires
regardless of production plant. You will need to perform a DOT code inspection prior to replacing
the 15, 16, or 17-inch Wilderness AT tires.
NOTE:
When lowering or raising an under-vehicle spare, DO NOT use power tools. Also make sure that
the spare is secure under the vehicle, and not swinging loose. The spare tire winch will ratchet
when the tire is completely stowed.
NOTE:
Radial ATX "TEMPORARY USE" spare tires are not included under this program, and should not
be replaced as part of this program.
NOTE:
Spare tires should always be replaced with the exact same size tire; otherwise the spare tire may
not store in the proper position on the vehicle.
INSPECTION
1. Inspect the vehicle tires (including the spare tire) for the presence of Firestone Wilderness AT
tires.
2. If Firestone Wilderness AT tires are present replace them with a suitable replacement from the
"Approved Tire List".
Note:
There may be cases where a vehicle is equipped with 15-, 16-, or 17-inch Firestone Wilderness AT
tire sizes that are not included on the Ford-approved replacement list. These tires are not original
equipment (OE) and, therefore, will not have an approved tire listed. In such cases, it is
recommended that the customer install the proper OE tire, or have a tire of suitable quality
installed. Reference the vehicle's "Safety Certification Label" and current "Ford Motor Company
Tire Price Guide" for OE or suitable replacement recommendations.
3. If only one Firestone Wilderness AT road tire is present on the vehicle, you will need to replace
the opposing tire on the same axle. However, if one (1) front and one (1) rear tire are Wilderness
AT you would not automatically replace all four (4) tires instead, you would replace the two (2)
Wilderness AT tires and place them on the same axle.
4. Record the DOT code from each removed tire(s) on the repair order.
5. Tires that are removed from vehicles must immediately be made unusable by either cutting
through the bead and DOT code with bolt cutters, or drilling a one-inch diameter hole (directly on
the DOT code to make the code unreadable) in the sidewall.
6. Adjust all tires to the proper inflation pressure, and release the vehicle. For specifications, refer
to the vehicle Owner's Manual or the vehicle certification label located on the driver's door opening.
NOTE:
Tires that are removed from vehicles under this program, and those in dealer inventory must
immediately be made unusable by either cutting the bead with bolt cutters or drilling a 1" diameter
hole (directly on the DOT code to make the code unreadable) in the sidewall. Defacing the DOT
code will prevent the tire from being used for an additional refund request.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is a 4X4, and is equipped with non-Firestone Wilderness AT tires on one axle, and the
replacement tires for the Firestone equipped axle causes a mismatch with the existing
non-Firestone axle, the customer is responsible for the tire mismatch. If the customer refuses to
purchase matching tires to correct the mismatch - the dealer should annotate the repair order to
reflect the customer's decision.

HUBLOCK DIAGNOSTICS
WHEEL END CONTAMINATION:
^ All compact vehicle hublocks have an O-ring seal between the hublock and wheel hub to prevent
contamination. Whenever the hublock is removed, the 0-ring seal should be checked for damage.
^ If contamination is found in the wheel end, the path must be determined and corrected. Path
possibilities are through the hublock seal, the wheel
bearing seals or the axle spindle seals.
WHEEL END NOISE (BUZZING) IN 4X2, AFTER UNLOCKING HUBS, SHORTLY AFTER
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE USAGE:
^ Noise concerns in two-wheel drive shortly after shifting from four-wheel drive and unlocking hubs,
can occur if one of the hublocks fails to disengage. As the vehicle moves forward, the one (1)
hublock that has failed to disengage will rotate its axle shaft through the differential and attempt to
rotate the other axle shaft in the opposite direction. This is called differential motoring torque. As
this torque attempts to turn the other axle shaft through the differential gears, that shaft's hublock
will attempt to engage which will result in a ratcheting or buzzing noise.
^ This type of noise concern is usually found on axles that have incorrect front axle differential
lubricant or very few 4X4 miles on them.
^ Verify that the front axle differential lubricant is F1TZ-19580-A. If incorrect lubricant is detected,
extract the old lubricant using a suction gun.
NOTE:
BREAKING THE CARRIER SEAL IS NOT A RECOMMENDED METHOD OF EXTRACTING THE
LUBRICANT.
1. Refill the front axle with 56 oz (1.66 L) of lubricant F1TZ-19580-A using a suction gun.
2. As the front axle accumulates 100-200 miles (161-322 km) of locked hublock operation, the axle
will break-in, thus reducing the amount of differential motoring torque significantly.
3. If a front axle requires breaking in, refer to the Front Axle Break-In Procedure in this article.
4. If the front axle has been broken-in and the differential lubricant is F1TZ-19580-A, however, a
wheel end noise (buzzing) in 4X2 is still experienced shortly after four-wheel drive usage. It is
advised that the hublock which is not ratcheting be replaced as it is not disengaging correctly.
When this condition occurs on any 4X4 Ranger, Explorer, or Bronco II, built from 10/89 through
model year 1993, it is advised that both hublocks be replaced as the ratcheting hub is likely to
become damaged.
FRONT AXLE BREAK-IN PROCEDURE:
^ To break-in the front axle, engage four-wheel drive and then shift out of it without disengaging the
hublocks.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Hub (Locking) > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Automatic Hublock - Diagnosis/Service Tips > Page 1483
^ Thereafter, continue to drive the vehicle with locked hublocks until 100-200 miles (161-322 km)
are accumulated. This will break-in the axle. Should the vehicle be backed up during this time
period, the hublocks will disengage and will have to be locked again by repeating the engagement
procedure.
WHEEL END NOISE (RATCHETING) IN 4X2 AND HUBS UNLOCKED:
^ This condition could occur during turns or when the suspension is stroked. It is more prevalent in
cold weather, with new front axles. It is usually caused by high motoring torque at the axle shafts or
by incorrect axle lubrication.
^ Verify that axle lubrication is F1TZ-19580-A. If the front axle is not broken-in, 100-200 4X4 miles
(161-322 km), proceed to do so following the outlined front axle break-in procedure in the Hublock
Diagnostics section of this TSB article.
WHEEL END NOISE (BUZZING) WHILE ENGAGING 4X4 (TOUCH DRIVE) WHILE MOVING:
^ Refer to TSB Article No. 91-15-10.
POPPING/BANGING SOUND WHILE IN 4X4:
^ If the system slips under load, find what has broken or is slipping. To locate where slip is taking
place, put marks at various possible slip points (Figure 1). Test drive the vehicle, then check to see
if marks at different points are still in the same relationship to each other. This will help you
determine where the slippage is taking place or where to look for broken parts, if any.
^ On vehicles with automatic hubs, find a place where you can do your test, mark the components,
then drive without backing up. Stop and check the marks to see if they are in the same relationship
to each other. If you back up before checking your marks, the hubs may reindex and not reveal the
problem.
^ Reindex component should be serviced.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Remove old hublock; remove key from bearing retainer nut and then remove nut.
2. If replacing a manual hublock with an automatic hublock, also remove the three-piece wheel
bearing nut assembly.
3. Remove the new wheel bearing retaining nut from the cam assembly and install on the threaded
spindle.
4. Using Hex Locknut Wrench (T70T-4252-B), torque the wheel bearing retainer nut to 47 N-m (35
lb.ft.) while rotating the wheel assembly. Back nut off 1/4 turn and retighten to 1.8 N-m (16 lb.in.) of
torque.
5. Align scallop of the wheel bearing retaining nut with the center of the spindle keyway by
advancing the nut clockwise.
6. Install the retaining key into the spindle keyway. With the garter spring inboard, align the key on
the cam assembly with the keyway on the spindle.
7. Firmly press the cam assembly on the wheel bearing retaining nut.
CAUTION:
DO NOT PACK THE HUBLOCK WITH GREASE. TOO MUCH GREASE WILL CAUSE
IMPROPER HUBLOCK OPERATION AND MAY DAMAGE THE HUBLOCK.
8. For Ranger and Bronco II, model years 1983-90 (through build date 10/4/89), using the DANA
28 Axle, install the thrust washer set onto the axle:
a. First, the plain steel washer.
b. Second, the needle bearing.
c. Last, the spline washer.
9. For model years 1990-94 (begin build date 10/5/89), DANA 35 Axle, install the one-piece spline
washer. Install the "C" clip into the axle groove. It may be necessary to push the axle outboard from
the inboard side of the knuckle.
10. For 1995 Ranger, install the thrust washer onto the axle:
a. First, the plain steel thrust washer.
b. Second, the plastic unsplined thrust washer.

11. Check to ensure 0-ring seal on the flange face of the hublock body is not damaged and is
properly positioned in its groove.
12. Install the hublock body assembly into the vehicle hub and rotor assembly. The hub may have
to be rotated to line up the three (3) prongs of the cam follower (found internally to the hublock)
with the cam assembly.
13. Install retainer flat nuts on wheel studs.
NOTE:
DO NOT FORCE THE HUBLOCK ASSEMBLY. IF THE BODY ASSEMBLY WILL NOT FIT,
RECHECK THE ALIGNMENT OF ALL COMPONENTS. INSTALL SPEEDNUTS ON WHEEL
LUGS TO RETAIN HUBLOCK. THEREAFTER, INSTALL THE WHEEL AND TORQUE THE LUG
NUTS TO 136 N-m (100 LB.FT.) (FIGURE 2).
HISTORY AND TIMING
The Warn Automatic Hublock (Model M350) was used on the DANA 28 Axle (Bronco II and
Ranger) from model years 1983-90 (through build date 10/4/89). The Warn Automatic Hublocks
(Models M350A and M350B) were used on the DANA 35 Axle (Bronco II, Explorer and Ranger) for
model years 1990-93 (begin build date 10/5/89). Starting with model year 1994 the Warn Automatic
Hublock (Model M350C) used on the DANA 35 Axle (Explorer and Ranger) was introduced.
The Model M350 is black and Model M350A, M350B and M350C are argent (white silver) in color.
The Model M350 can only be replaced by Model M350 service parts. The M350C service kits
should be used as replacements for the following:
^ M350A hublocks released 10/89 as model year 1990 running change.
^ M350B hublocks released 4/92 as model year 1992 late running change.
^ M350C hublocks released 8/93 as model year 1994 Job 1 change.
When automatic hublock servicing is required for any Ranger, Explorer, or Bronco II built from
10/89 through model year 1993, it is advised that both hublocks be replaced.
NOTE:
IF AN M350A OR M350B HUBLOCK REQUIRES SERVICING, ALL THE HUBLOCK
COMPONENTS MUST BE REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH SERVICE KIT F3TZ-3B396-B,
WHICH ESSENTIALLY IS THE SERVICE KIT FOR THE M350C AUTOMATIC HUBLOCK. THE
CAM ASSEMBLY OF THE M350A OR M35OB SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH AN M350C
AUTOMATIC HUBLOCK BODY NOR SHOULD AN M350A OR M350B AUTOMATIC HUBLOCK
BODY BE USED WITH AN M350C CAM ASSEMBLY.
For model year 1994 (and beyond) 4X4 Rangers or Explorers, replace automatic hublocks in
accordance with the automatic hublock Service Manual procedure and additional diagnostics
procedure outlined in this TSB.
IDENTIFYING AUTOMATIC HUBLOCK MODELS
A stamped code found on the rear of the automatic hublock flange face can be used to identify the
automatic hublock type, in addition to the model year summary described above. Examples of the
three (3) different codes which correlate to the automatic hublock model type are outlined in the

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

Service Bulletins > Lug Nuts - Proper Installation/Torqueing Procedure > Page 1490
^ Brake rotor runout
^ Damage to the wheel
^ Damage to the wheel nuts and studs
ACTION: All wheel lug nuts should only be tightened to specification using a torque wrench or by
using the Rotunda ACCUTORO 164-R0314 or equivalent on a 1/2" drive air impact tool. The
"ACCUTORO" lug nut sockets limit the torque of the air impact tool, preventing overtightening or
uneven tightening of the wheel lug nuts. The torque limiting devices (regulators) on air impact tools
will not reduce the output torque enough to prevent overtightening of the wheel lug nuts.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Fastener > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Lug Nuts - Proper Installation/Torqueing Procedure > Page 1491
NOTE:
REFER TO THE APPROPRIATE SERVICE MANUAL OR THE CHART IN FIGURE 1 FOR THE
CORRECT WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE SPECIFICATION. THE CHART IN FIGURE 1 ALSO
PROVIDES THE CORRECT "ACCUTORO" LUG NUT SOCKET TO USE.
The "ACCUTORO" socket is intended for lug nut installation, not removal. When using the
"ACCUTORO" socket, the output torque of the air impact tool must be set to 217-339 N.m (160-250
lb-ft), usually this will be the lowest setting on the air impact tool.
The "ACCUTORO" lug nut sockets are available through Rotunda Equipment. The four-piece set
(164-R0314) fits most Ford Motor Company cars and light trucks. The tool set consists of four (4)
lug nut sockets and a storage case. The set can be ordered by calling Rotunda Equipment at
1-800-ROT-UNDA (768-8632).
CAUTION:
AIR IMPACT TOOLS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO TIGHTEN WHEEL LUG NUTS UNLESS THE
"ACCUTORO" LUG NUT SOCKET OF THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION IS USED.
NOTE:
DO NOT USE AIR IMPACT TOOLS ON LOCKING WHEEL LUG NUTS. THEY ARE TO BE
HAND-TORQUED ONLY.

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

- Towing Behind RVs Guidelines > Page 1496
CAUTION:
SEPARATE AUXILIARY BRAKES ARE REQUIRED ON TRAILERS OR TOWED VEHICLES
OVER 680 KG (1500 LBS). DO NOT CONNECT A TRAILER'S, DOLLY'S OR OTHER TOWED
VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM TO THE TOWING VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM.
TOWED VEHICLES
1. Trailer-towed - The vehicle should be loaded on the trailer in a manner to:
a. achieve a trailer tongue load of 10-15% of total trailer weight,
b. not exceed the trailer or hitch ratings and
c. be securely tied down.
2. Dolly-towed - For front wheel drive vehicles, towing an automatic transaxle (ATX)-equipped
vehicle behind another vehicle, such as a Recreational Vehicle (RV), requires that a front wheel
dolly or trailer be used.
NOTE:
TEMPO ALL-WHEEL DRIVE MODELS MUST BE TRAILER-TOWED. DO NOT TOW THESE
VEHICLES USING A TWO-WHEEL TOWING DOLLY.
CAUTION:
DO NOT TOW A VEHICLE WITH AN AUTOMATIC (ATX) TRANSAXLE WITH THE DRIVE
WHEELS ON THE GROUND. DAMAGE TO THE TRANSAXLE MAY RESULT.
3. Tow Bar-towed - Vehicles which can be successfully towed with a tow bar are listed in the
following chart. Additional vehicle-specific information follows the chart.
ALL VEHICLES
NOTE:
DO NOT TOW ANY VEHICLE AT A SPEED FASTER THAN 88 KM/H (55 MPH). THE MAXIMUM
TOWING DISTANCE (WHEN TOWED CORRECTLY) IS UNLIMITED.
WARNING:
NEVER USE A TOW BAR THAT ATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.

ISSUE: A vibration/shake may be felt in the seat and/or floor at speeds above 80 km/h (50 mph)
and peaking near 105 km/h (65 mph) on some vehicles. This condition is not rpm dependent and
occurs in all driving modes, i.e., acceleration, cruise and deceleration. An "aftershake" condition
may also exist when driving over a bump at speeds less than 72 km/h (45 mph). This condition
may improve with tire balancing or tire exchange, but may not be completely eliminated. This may
be the result of the movement frequency of the engine aligning with the tire rotation frequency,
causing the vibration/shake.
ACTION: Confirm the vibration/shake condition occurs in all driving modes, including neutral coast.
Install revised LH and RH engine mounts and a rear axle-to-frame lateral shock absorber kit. Also,
install a revised muffler tailpipe assembly on all 1991-94 model years. Refer to the following
Service Procedure for details.
This procedure will NOT compensate for:
^ Out-of-round or out-of-balance tire/wheel assemblies
^ Vibration resulting from abnormal tire wear
^ Other tire/wheel quality or out-of-specification issues.
Wheel/tire assemblies may require service if the vehicle is not acceptable following the new engine
mount and rear axle shock absorber installation. Refer to the Noise/Vibration/Harshness (NVH)
Section of the appropriate Explorer Service Manual for further details.
NOTE:
THIS TSB ARTICLE DOES NOT APPLY TO VEHICLES WITH ENGINE BLOCK HEATERS.
INADEQUATE CLEARANCE EXISTS FOR NEW ENGINE MOUNT INSTALLATION WHEN THE
VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AN ENGINE BLOCK HEATER.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Visually inspect the tires for abnormal/irregular wear patterns. If necessary, replace the tire(s)
with original equipment type and size. Set tire pressure as specified on the certification label
located on the left front door pillar.
2. Check the tire/wheel assembly for correct balance and repair as necessary.

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

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

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

Oil Pan: Service and Repair
*** THIS ARTICLE REFLECTS CHANGES MADE BY TSB 9518 DATED JANUARY 16, 1995
REMOVAL
1. Remove the engine. 2. Mount the engine on an engine stand with the engine upright. Remove
the oil pan and crankshaft oil windage baffle.
CAUTION: Mounting the engine upside down on the engine stand before removing the oil pan may
cause sludge to drop into the cylinders and onto the camshaft and valve tappets causing rapid
wear when the engine is restarted.
3. Rotate the engine upside down and remove the oil pump and rear main bearing cap and wedge
seal. 4. Remove and discard the crankshaft rear main seal.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Prevent engine assembly contamination. Always use necessary precautions to prevent
old sealer or gasket material from falling into the engine.
1. Thoroughly clean all the oil and the old sealer from the oil pan taking special care to remove all
the old sealer from the oil pan gasket groove in the
oil pan. Thoroughly clean the oil pan.
2. Thoroughly clean all the old sealer from the rear main bearing cap using a scraper and wire
wheel. The original sealer used during production
assembly becomes extremely hard after it has cured. It is extremely important that all old sealer is
removed from all joining faces and grooves.
3. Thoroughly clean all oil and old sealer from the cylinder block oil pan sealing area and the rear
main bearing cap joint area. 4. Thoroughly clean all oil and old sealer from the wedge seal sealing
area at the rear main bearing cap and the oil pan gasket groove.
NOTE: Preferably use a new wedge seal.
5. After all parts have been thoroughly cleaned and washed, it is necessary and extremely
important that they be wiped down with Extra Strength
Spot and Stain Remover B7A-19521-AA (ESR-M5B197-A) or denatured alcohol.
6. Thoroughly clean the transmission bell-housing area and the rear of the cylinder block. Oil
removal should be verified with an ultraviolet lamp
("black light").
Cylinder Block Sealer Application
7. Place a bead of Ford Gasket Eliminator E1FZ-19562-A (ESE-M4G234-A1), Loctite 515 or
equivalent sealer to the cylinder block along the
corners of the rear main bearing cap joint area, and on the joint face approximately 13 mm (1/2
inch) from the rear of the cylinder block.
8. Verify that the lower rear main bearing insert is in place and install the rear main bearing cap and
snug the bolts.
NOTE: New main bearing cap bolts must be used during assembly.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Engine Lubrication > Oil Pan, Engine > Component
Information > Specifications > Page 1692
Rear Main Bearing Cap View
9. Align the rear main bearing cap to block by moving the bearing cap fore or aft so the rear seal
stop (located approximately 1/2 inch inward in the
rear oil seal bore) of the block and cap line up. This will assure the crankshaft rear oil seal will seat
properly when installed in the bore.
NOTE: The rear main bearing cap must be aligned and installed properly to seal. Misalignment will
cause an oil leak.
10. Tighten the bolts evenly to 90-104 Nm (66-77 ft lb).
Wedge Seal Sealer Application
11. Fill the cavities for the wedge seal on both sides of the rear main cap and the small groove in
the oil pan gasket area of the rear main cap with Ford
Gasket Eliminator E1FZ-19562-A (ESE-M4G234-A1), Loctite 515 or equivalent sealer.
CAUTION: Use a new oil seal. Failure to install a new seal, or incorrect installation will result in an
oil leak after the vehicle is returned to service.
12. Place wedge seal in position and use a flat blade screwdriver or equivalent to fully seat the
wedge seal, forcing the excess sealer out around the
seal. Wipe the excessive sealer from the cylinder block and rear main cap area.
13. Clean and inspect the oil inlet tube. Prime the oil pump by filling the inlet opening with oil while
rotating the shaft until oil emerges from the outlet
opening. Install the pump and screen and tighten the bolts to 17-21 Nm (13-15 ft lb).
14. Install the windage tray and tighten to 17-21 Nm (13-15 ft lb). 15. Place a bead of Ford Silicone
Sealer F1AZ-19562-A. Loctite 598 or equivalent sealer in the oil pan gasket groove at the radius
areas at the front
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Engine Lubrication > Oil Pan, Engine > Component
Information > Specifications > Page 1693
and rear of the oil pan.
16. Place the oil pan gasket into the groove in the oil pan. 17. Place a bead of Ford Silicone Sealer
F1AZ- 19562-A, Loctite 598 or equivalent sealer on top of the oil pan gasket at the radius areas at
the front
and rear of the oil pan.
18. Place a bead of Ford Silicone Sealer F1AZ-19562-A, Loctite 598 sealer, or equivalent on the
cylinder block at the cylinder block-to-front cover
joint area.
Oil Pan Installation
19. Set the oil pan in place. Install and snug four oil pan nuts tight enough to align the bolt holes,
but loose enough that the oil pan may be pushed
backwards.
20. Align the rear face of the oil pan with the rear face of the cylinder block.
NOTE: If the rear face of the oil pan cannot be aligned within 0.010 inch of the rear face of the
cylinder block, the oil pan spacer should be used.
21. Install the remaining oil pan bolts and finger-tighten.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Engine Lubrication > Oil Pan, Engine > Component
Information > Specifications > Page 1694
22. Tighten the oil pan nuts and bolts evenly to 7-10 Nm (5-7 ft lb).
NOTE: Do not put oil in the engine or run the engine until the next day to allow the sealers to set up
properly. If time is not allowed for sealers to cure, engine will leak.
23. Always use a new crankshaft rear oil seal.
CAUTION: This installation procedure requires the use of hand tools only. The use of power tools
or hammering on the installer can damage the sleeve and seal.
Rear Main Seal Installation Tool
a. Attach the rear crankshaft adapter to the rear of the crankshaft using the supplied mounting
screws.
Rear Main Oil Seal Installation
b. Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the inboard side of the seal/sleeve at the area where the
seal contacts the sleeve. c. Apply a very light film of clean engine oil on the inner diameter of the
sleeve and outer diameter of seal. d. Slide the seal/sleeve over the rear crankshaft seal adapter
with flange to the rear of the engine.

Information > Specifications > Page 1695
e. Use the rear crankshaft seal replacer and supplied bolt to push the rear seal into the cylinder
block.
NOTE: It is normal for the seal to sit approximately 0.76 mm (0.030 inch) deeper than the sleeve
flange. Do not adjust.
f. Remove the rear crankshaft seal adapter.
24. Determine if oil pan spacers will be required at installation.
CAUTION: Failure to measure the required spacer thickness will result in insufficient or excessive
clearances between the oil pan and the transmission when installed in the vehicle. This can result
in oil pan damage and an oil leak.
NOTE: The transmission bolts to the engine and oil pan when installed, so it is important to
measure the gap between the surface of the rear face of the oil pan (at the spacer locations) and
the rear face of the cylinder block. Refer to the following procedure for checking this dimension.
Rear View Of Engine
a. With the oil pan installed on the engine, position straightedge D83L-4201-A or equivalent flat on
the rear of the cylinder block so that it
extends over one of the oil pan/transmission bolt mounting pads.
Spacer Selection Chart
b. Using Feeler Gauge D81L-4201-A or equivalent, measure the gap between the mounting pad
and the straight edge. Repeat the procedure for
the other mounting pad. Select oil pan spacer of the required thickness from the chart.
c. Install the selected oil pan spacer to the mounting pads on the rear of the oil pan before bolting
the engine and transmission together.
25. Install flywheel. Tighten flywheel bolts in two stages.
a. First stage - 12-15 Nm (9-11 ft lb) b. Second stage - 68-74 Nm (50-55 ft lb)
26. Remove engine from stand and install.

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

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
The oil pressure warning light should go on when the ignition is turned on. If it does not light,
disconnect the wire from the engine unit and ground the wire to the frame or cylinder block. Then if
the warning light still does not go on with the ignition switch on, replace the bulb.
If the warning light goes on when the wire is grounded to the frame or cylinder block, the engine
unit should be checked for being loose or poorly grounded. If the unit is found to be tight and
properly grounded, it should be removed and a new one installed. (The presence of sealing
compound on the threads of the engine unit will cause a poor ground).
If the warning light remains lit when it normally should be out, replace the engine unit before
proceeding further to determine the cause for a low pressure indication.
The warning light will sometimes light up or flicker when engine is idling, even though oil pressure
is adequate. However, light should go out when engine speed is increased.

REMOVAL
1. Remove the engine assembly from the vehicle.
2. Mount the engine on a suitable engine stand with the oil pan facing up.
3. Remove the oil pan retaining bolts and remove the oil pan.
4. Remove the oil pan gasket, oil pump, oil baffle, rear main bearing cap and wedge seal.
5. Remove and discard the crankshaft rear main seal.
6. Thoroughly clean the gasket mating surfaces of the engine block, oil pan and the rear main
bearing cap.
7. Clean the oil seal recess in the cylinder block and main bearing cap. Inspect and clean the oil
seal contact surface on the crankshaft.
INSTALLATION
Oil Pan Installation View
NOTE: Ford Gasket Eliminator, E1FZ-19562-A is equivalent to Loctite(R) 515. Ford Silicone
Sealer, F1AZ-19562-A is equivalent to Loctite(R) 598.
1. Clean the gasket surfaces of the oil pan. Thoroughly clean all oil and all residual old sealer from
the oil pan. Remove all the old sealer from the oil pan gasket groove in the oil pan sealing surface.
Thoroughly wash the oil pan.
2. Thoroughly clean all the old sealer from the rear main bearing cap using a scraper and wire
wheel. The original sealer used during production assembly becomes extremely hard after it has
cured. It is extremely important that all old sealer is removed from all joining faces and grooves.
3. Thoroughly clean all oil and old sealer from the cylinder block oil pan sealing area and the rear
main bearing cap joint area.
4. Thoroughly clean all oil and old sealer from the wedge seal sealing area at the rear main bearing
cap and the oil pan gasket groove.
5. After all parts have been thoroughly cleaned and washed, it is necessary and extremely
important that they be wiped down with Extra Strength Spot and Stain Remover B7A-19521-AA
(ESR-M5B197-A) or Denatured Alcohol.
6. Thoroughly clean the transmission bell-housing area and the rear of the cylinder block. Oil
removal should be verified with an ultraviolet lamp ("black light").
7. Place a bead of Loctite(R) 515 sealer along the block corners of the rear main bearing cap joint
area, and on the joint face approximately 1/2 inch from the rear of the block.

Rear Main Bearing Cap View
8. Coat the main bearing insert and crankshaft journal with SAE 50 Service SG (ESE-M2C39-F) oil,
apply Loctite(R) 515 sealer to the rear main bearing cap as shown in the illustration. Verify the
main bearing insert is properly installed.
9. Align the rear main bearing cap to block by moving the bearing cap fore or aft so the rear seal
stop (located approximately 1/2 inch inward in the rear oil seal bore) of the block and cap line up.
This will assure the rear main oil seal will seat properly when installed in the bore.
NOTE: The rear main bearing cap MUST be aligned and installed properly to seal. Misalignment
will cause an oil leak.
10. New rear main bearing cap bolts must be used. Tighten the bolts evenly to 90-104 Nm (66-77 ft
lb).
CAUTION:Use a new oil seal. Failure to install a new seal, or incorrect seal installation will result in
an oil leak after the vehicle is returned to
service.
11. Use a new wedge seal. Fill the cavities for the wedge seal on both sides of the rear main cap
and the small groove in the oil pan gasket area of the rear main cap with Loctite(R) 515 sealer.
12. Place wedge seal in position and use a flat blade screwdriver or equivalent to fully seat the
wedge seal, forcing the excess sealer out around the seal. Do not remove the excess sealant.
13. Clean and inspect the oil inlet tube. Prime the oil pump by filling the inlet opening with oil while
rotating the shaft until oil emerges from the outlet opening. Install the pump and screen and tighten
the screws to 17-21 Nm (13-15 ft lb).
14. Install the oil baffle assembly and tighten the nuts to 17-21 Nm (13-15 ft lb).
15. Determine if shim spacers will be required at installation.
NOTE: The transmission bolts to the engine and oil pan when installed, so it is important to
measure the gap between the surface of the rear face
of the oil pan (at the spacer locations) and the rear face of the engine block. Refer to the steps
a,b,c, and d below for checking this dimension.
CAUTION:Failure to measure the required spacer thickness will result in insufficient or excessive
clearance between the engine oil pan and the
transmission when installed in the vehicle. This can result in oil pan damage and/or an oil leak.

b. Using feeler gauge D81L-4201-A or equivalent, measure the gap between the mounting pad and
the straight edge. Repeat the procedure for the other mounting pad. Select spacers of the required
thickness from the chart. c. Install the selected spacers to the mounting pads on the rear of the oil
pan before bolting the engine and transmission together. d. Remove the oil pan and position the
correct spacers for pan installation.
16. Place a bead of Loctite(R) 598 sealer in the oil pan gasket groove at the radius areas at the
front and rear of the oil pan.
17. Place the oil pan gasket into the groove in the oil pan.
18. Place a bead of Loctite(R) 598 sealer on top of the oil pan gasket at the radius areas at the
front and rear of the oil pan.
19. Set the oil pan in place and finger-tighten the oil pan nuts on the studs enough to align the bolt
holes, but loose enough to allow the pan to move.
20. Align the rear face of the oil pan with the rear face of the cylinder block.
NOTE: If the rear face of the oil pan cannot be aligned within .010 inch of the rear face of the
cylinder block, the appropriate shims should be
used.
21. Install the remaining oil pan bolts and finger-tighten.
22. Tighten the oil pan nuts and bolts evenly to 7-10 Nm (62-88 in lb).

^ COOLING SYSTEM - LOSS OF COOLANT - 4.0L ENGINE - REVISED INTAKE MANIFOLD
GASKET AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
^ LEAKS - COOLANT - 4.0L ENGINE - REVISED INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET AND
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
LIGHT TRUCK: 1992-94 AEROSTAR, EXPLORER, RANGER
ISSUE: Coolant loss, with no visible sign of leakage, may occur on some vehicles. This may be
due to internal leaks from a failed intake manifold gasket caused by loose intake manifold bolts, a
fouled intake manifold, pitting/corrosion, or loose cylinder head bolts.
ACTION: Refer to the following procedures for service details.
NOTE:
DUE TO AIR BEING TRAPPED IN THE COOLING SYSTEM, IT IS NOT UNUSUAL TO ADD 44
OZ (118-207 ML) COOLANT UP TO 7500 MILES (12,000 KM) AFTER INITIAL FILL.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Run the engine for 10 minutes, or as required, to build pressure in the cooling system for a leak
inspection. Examine the radiator, side tanks, coolant recovery bottle, hoses and connections,
intake manifold, cylinder heads and block for external coolant leaks. If no external leak can be
found, then the concern may be with the lower intake manifold gasket, intake manifold
pitting/corrosion, or with low cylinder head bolt torque.
2. Measure the cylinder head bolt torque. If torque is less than 80 N-m (59 lb.ft.), replace Cylinder
Head Gasket (F5TZ-6051-A RH, and F5TZ-6051-B LH) using the procedure in this TSB article.
3. If coolant loss continues, even with proper head bolt torque, remove intake manifold and remove
all old gasket material and any coolant residue with a soft non-metallic or aluminum wire brush.
Inspect manifold for corrosion/erosion/pitting damage at the four (4) water passages (Figure 1). If
damaged, the intake manifold must be replaced.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE A SAND DISK OR SIMILAR POWER TOOL. IF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD
SURFACE IS PITTED (FIGURE 1), THEN THE

MANIFOLD MUST BE REPLACED.
4. Replace the lower intake manifold gasket with the new Carrier-type Intake Manifold Gasket
(F5TZ-9439-A). Use the procedures found in this TSB article.
DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE - INTAKE AND CYLINDER HEAD GASKETS
Service the intake manifold (lower) and cylinder head gaskets per the appropriate
Powertrain/Drivetrain Service Manual, when required.
INSTALLATION ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE AFTER REMOVING BOTH CYLINDER HEAD AND
INTAKE MANIFOLD
1. Remove all old gasket material with a soft non-metallic or aluminum wire brush.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE A SAND DISK OR SIMILAR POWER TOOL.
2. Before installing the new gasket, remove all old sealer from the intake, heads and block
surfaces, and check for proper condition. Clean all exposed areas very thoroughly with Metal
Surface Cleaner (F4AZ-19A536-RA) or denatured alcohol.
NOTE:
THE 4.0L ENGINE SHOULD ALWAYS BE ASSEMBLED USING NEW CYLINDER HEAD BOLTS.
3. Position cylinder head gaskets on cylinder block. Install cylinder head locating dowels. Position
the cylinder heads onto the head gaskets and locating dowels (Figure 4).

92-14-13.
CAUTION:
CHECK FOR BOTTOMING TO ENSURE CORRECT PARTS WERE INSTALLED DURING
PREVIOUS REPAIR. ANY FAILURE TO USE CORRECT FASTENERS CAN RESULT IN AN OIL
LEAK AND A REPEAT REPAIR. ALSO CHECK FOR VISIBLE FLATNESS OF THE VALVE
COVER RAIL USING A STRAIGHT EDGE. AN OUT OF FLAT RAIL WILL REQUIRE A VALVE
COVER REPLACEMENT, OR REPAIR.
NOTE:
LATER MODEL YEAR VEHICLES (LATE 1992 AND 1993 THROUGH CURRENT), SHOULD
HAVE CARRIER GASKETS ALREADY INSTALLED, WITH SHORT SCREWS (W701035-S300),
M6XM16MM, WITH CONICAL SPRING WASHERS; AND STUDS (W701041-S300),
M6X16/M6X16MM WITH CONICAL SPRING WASHERS; AND SHOULD NOT HAVE
REINFORCEMENTS. CHECK THAT THIS HARDWARE WAS INSTALLED AND THEN RE-USE
FASTENERS.
NOTE:
STUD GOES IN UPPER REAR HOLE. ENSURE BOLT HOLES ARE CLEAN AND FREE OF OIL
RESIDUE.
3. Install valve cover, rocker arm cover flange plates and bolts. Tighten bolts starting from center
bolts and working in crisscross pattern to end bolts. Torque in the same pattern to 6-8 N-m (53-71
lb.in.). See Figure 3. Also, see TSB 92-14-13.
4. Continue reassembly per procedures in appropriate year Service Manual.
5. Fill cooling system using the "Filling and Bleeding the Coolant System" procedure in this TSB
article.
FILLING AND BLEEDING THE COOLANT SYSTEM
WARNING:
NEVER REMOVE THE RADIATOR CAP UNDER ANY CONDITIONS WHILE THE ENGINE IS
OPERATING. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO
THE COOLING SYSTEM OR ENGINE AND/OR CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. USE EXTREME
CARE WHEN REMOVING THE RADIATOR CAP FROM A HOT RADIATOR. IF POSSIBLE, WAIT
UNTIL ENGINE HAS COOLED, THEN WRAP A THICK CLOTH AROUND THE RADIATOR CAP
AND TURN IT SLOWLY TO THE FIRST STOP. STEP BACK WHILE THE PRESSURE IS
RELEASED FROM THE COOLING SYSTEM. WHEN YOU ARE SURE ALL THE PRESSURE
HAS BEEN RELEASED, PRESS DOWN ON THE RADIATOR CAP (STILL USING A CLOTH),
TURN AND REMOVE IT.

1735
In order to bleed the cooling system properly after an initial fill with coolant, it might need up to five
(5) cycles of the following:
1. Heating up the system (thermostat open).
2. Ensuring coolant is at least up to the "cold" fill mark of the overflow bottle.
3. Letting coolant cool down (temperature gauge below "N" of normal).
4. Topping off coolant overflow to "cold" mark.
5. Repeating cycle.
FILLING
WARNING:
USE CAUTION WHEN ADDING COOLANT MIXTURE TO RADIATOR TO AVOID HOT COOLANT
OR STEAM BLOW OUT FROM THE RADIATOR.
NOTE:
USE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO REMOVE AIR FROM THE COOLING SYSTEM AND TO
ENSURE A COMPLETE FILL CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED.
NOTE:
WHEN FILLING A CROSSFLOW RADIATOR, ALLOW TIME FOR THE COOLANT TO FLOW
THROUGH THE RADIATOR TUBES TO THE OTHER END TANK TO ENSURE RADIATOR IS
FULL.
1. Close radiator draincock and install cylinder block drain plug.
2. Fill the cooling system with a 50/50 ethylene glycol and water mixture. Allow several and then
backing off to first stop. This will allow any air to escape and minimize spillage.
4. Slide heater temperature and mode selection levers to maximum heat position.
5. Start engine and allow to operate at fast idle (approximately 2000 rpm) for 3 to 4 minutes. Shut
engine off.
6. With engine off, wrap radiator cap with a thick cloth, carefully remove radiator cap and add
coolant to bring coolant level up to filler neck seat.
7. Replace radiator cap to fully-installed position. Then, back off to first stop. Operate engine at fast
idle until the upper radiator hose is warm (water thermostat opens). To check radiator, shut engine
off, wrap radiator cap with thick cloth and carefully remove radiator cap. Add additional coolant if
necessary. Replace radiator cap to fully-installed position.
8. Open the small cap on the top of the radiator coolant recovery reservoir. The large cap is for the
windshield washer reservoir. NEVER put coolant mixture in windshield washer bottle.
9. Using a suitable suction gun, remove all coolant from radiator coolant recovery reservoir.
10. Add 1 liter (1.1 quart) of 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol and water to the radiator coolant
recovery reservoir. Close small cap.

GASKET AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
^ LEAKS - COOLANT - 4.0L ENGINE - REVISED INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET AND
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
LIGHT TRUCK: 1992-94 AEROSTAR, EXPLORER, RANGER
ISSUE: Coolant loss, with no visible sign of leakage, may occur on some vehicles. This may be
due to internal leaks from a failed intake manifold gasket caused by loose intake manifold bolts, a
fouled intake manifold, pitting/corrosion, or loose cylinder head bolts.
ACTION: Refer to the following procedures for service details.
NOTE:
DUE TO AIR BEING TRAPPED IN THE COOLING SYSTEM, IT IS NOT UNUSUAL TO ADD 44
OZ (118-207 ML) COOLANT UP TO 7500 MILES (12,000 KM) AFTER INITIAL FILL.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Run the engine for 10 minutes, or as required, to build pressure in the cooling system for a leak
inspection. Examine the radiator, side tanks, coolant recovery bottle, hoses and connections,
intake manifold, cylinder heads and block for external coolant leaks. If no external leak can be
found, then the concern may be with the lower intake manifold gasket, intake manifold
pitting/corrosion, or with low cylinder head bolt torque.
2. Measure the cylinder head bolt torque. If torque is less than 80 N-m (59 lb.ft.), replace Cylinder
Head Gasket (F5TZ-6051-A RH, and F5TZ-6051-B LH) using the procedure in this TSB article.
3. If coolant loss continues, even with proper head bolt torque, remove intake manifold and remove
all old gasket material and any coolant residue with a soft non-metallic or aluminum wire brush.
Inspect manifold for corrosion/erosion/pitting damage at the four (4) water passages (Figure 1). If
damaged, the intake manifold must be replaced.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE A SAND DISK OR SIMILAR POWER TOOL. IF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD
SURFACE IS PITTED (FIGURE 1), THEN THE
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))

Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Intake Manifold: > 95910 > May > 95 > Cooling System - Coolant Loss
> Page 1743
MANIFOLD MUST BE REPLACED.
4. Replace the lower intake manifold gasket with the new Carrier-type Intake Manifold Gasket
(F5TZ-9439-A). Use the procedures found in this TSB article.
DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE - INTAKE AND CYLINDER HEAD GASKETS
Service the intake manifold (lower) and cylinder head gaskets per the appropriate
Powertrain/Drivetrain Service Manual, when required.
INSTALLATION ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE AFTER REMOVING BOTH CYLINDER HEAD AND
INTAKE MANIFOLD
1. Remove all old gasket material with a soft non-metallic or aluminum wire brush.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE A SAND DISK OR SIMILAR POWER TOOL.
2. Before installing the new gasket, remove all old sealer from the intake, heads and block
surfaces, and check for proper condition. Clean all exposed areas very thoroughly with Metal
Surface Cleaner (F4AZ-19A536-RA) or denatured alcohol.
NOTE:
THE 4.0L ENGINE SHOULD ALWAYS BE ASSEMBLED USING NEW CYLINDER HEAD BOLTS.
3. Position cylinder head gaskets on cylinder block. Install cylinder head locating dowels. Position
the cylinder heads onto the head gaskets and locating dowels (Figure 4).

NOTE:
IF 1992 VEHICLES HAVE VALVE COVER GASKETS OF THE CORK TYPE, THESE GASKETS
MUST BE REPLACED WITH METAL-TYPE (CARRIER) GASKET. THE NEW TYPE GASKET IS A
THINNER GASKET, THEREFORE TO PREVENT BOTTOMING IT IS IMPORTANT TO RE-USE
THE CONICAL SPRING WASHER SCREWS (W700099-S309M), M6X20 MM, TOGETHER WITH
REINFORCEMENTS (FLANGE PLATES), -6A523-; AND STUD (E804194-S72), M6X20/M6X20,
W10 WASHER, AND WITH REINFORCEMENT, -6A523-. SEE FIGURE 3. ALSO, SEE TSB
92-14-13.
CAUTION:
CHECK FOR BOTTOMING TO ENSURE CORRECT PARTS WERE INSTALLED DURING
PREVIOUS REPAIR. ANY FAILURE TO USE CORRECT FASTENERS CAN RESULT IN AN OIL
LEAK AND A REPEAT REPAIR. ALSO CHECK FOR VISIBLE FLATNESS OF THE VALVE
COVER RAIL USING A STRAIGHT EDGE. AN OUT OF FLAT RAIL WILL REQUIRE A VALVE
COVER REPLACEMENT, OR REPAIR.
NOTE:
LATER MODEL YEAR VEHICLES (LATE 1992 AND 1993 THROUGH CURRENT), SHOULD
HAVE CARRIER GASKETS ALREADY INSTALLED, WITH SHORT SCREWS (W701035-S300),
M6XM16MM, WITH CONICAL SPRING WASHERS; AND STUDS (W701041-S300),
M6X16/M6X16MM WITH CONICAL SPRING WASHERS; AND SHOULD NOT HAVE
REINFORCEMENTS. CHECK THAT THIS HARDWARE WAS INSTALLED AND THEN RE-USE
FASTENERS.
NOTE:
STUD GOES IN UPPER REAR HOLE. ENSURE BOLT HOLES ARE CLEAN AND FREE OF OIL
RESIDUE.
3. Install valve cover, rocker arm cover flange plates and bolts. Tighten bolts starting from center
bolts and working in crisscross pattern to end bolts. Torque in the same pattern to 6-8 N-m (53-71
lb.in.). See Figure 3. Also, see TSB 92-14-13.
4. Continue reassembly per procedures in appropriate year Service Manual.
5. Fill cooling system using the "Filling and Bleeding the Coolant System" procedure in this TSB
article.
FILLING AND BLEEDING THE COOLANT SYSTEM
WARNING:
NEVER REMOVE THE RADIATOR CAP UNDER ANY CONDITIONS WHILE THE ENGINE IS
OPERATING. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO
THE COOLING SYSTEM OR ENGINE AND/OR CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. USE EXTREME
CARE WHEN REMOVING THE RADIATOR CAP FROM A HOT RADIATOR. IF POSSIBLE, WAIT
UNTIL ENGINE HAS COOLED, THEN WRAP A THICK CLOTH AROUND THE RADIATOR CAP
AND TURN IT SLOWLY TO THE FIRST STOP. STEP BACK WHILE THE PRESSURE IS
RELEASED FROM THE COOLING SYSTEM. WHEN YOU ARE SURE ALL THE PRESSURE
HAS BEEN RELEASED, PRESS DOWN ON THE RADIATOR CAP (STILL USING A CLOTH),
TURN AND REMOVE IT.

Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Intake Manifold: > 95910 > May > 95 > Cooling System - Coolant Loss
> Page 1749
In order to bleed the cooling system properly after an initial fill with coolant, it might need up to five
(5) cycles of the following:
1. Heating up the system (thermostat open).
2. Ensuring coolant is at least up to the "cold" fill mark of the overflow bottle.
3. Letting coolant cool down (temperature gauge below "N" of normal).
4. Topping off coolant overflow to "cold" mark.
5. Repeating cycle.
FILLING
WARNING:
USE CAUTION WHEN ADDING COOLANT MIXTURE TO RADIATOR TO AVOID HOT COOLANT
OR STEAM BLOW OUT FROM THE RADIATOR.
NOTE:
USE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO REMOVE AIR FROM THE COOLING SYSTEM AND TO
ENSURE A COMPLETE FILL CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED.
NOTE:
WHEN FILLING A CROSSFLOW RADIATOR, ALLOW TIME FOR THE COOLANT TO FLOW
THROUGH THE RADIATOR TUBES TO THE OTHER END TANK TO ENSURE RADIATOR IS
FULL.
1. Close radiator draincock and install cylinder block drain plug.
2. Fill the cooling system with a 50/50 ethylene glycol and water mixture. Allow several and then
backing off to first stop. This will allow any air to escape and minimize spillage.
4. Slide heater temperature and mode selection levers to maximum heat position.
5. Start engine and allow to operate at fast idle (approximately 2000 rpm) for 3 to 4 minutes. Shut
engine off.
6. With engine off, wrap radiator cap with a thick cloth, carefully remove radiator cap and add
coolant to bring coolant level up to filler neck seat.
7. Replace radiator cap to fully-installed position. Then, back off to first stop. Operate engine at fast
idle until the upper radiator hose is warm (water thermostat opens). To check radiator, shut engine
off, wrap radiator cap with thick cloth and carefully remove radiator cap. Add additional coolant if
necessary. Replace radiator cap to fully-installed position.
8. Open the small cap on the top of the radiator coolant recovery reservoir. The large cap is for the
windshield washer reservoir. NEVER put coolant mixture in windshield washer bottle.
9. Using a suitable suction gun, remove all coolant from radiator coolant recovery reservoir.
10. Add 1 liter (1.1 quart) of 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol and water to the radiator coolant
recovery reservoir. Close small cap.

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

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

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
The oil pressure warning light should go on when the ignition is turned on. If it does not light,
disconnect the wire from the engine unit and ground the wire to the frame or cylinder block. Then if
the warning light still does not go on with the ignition switch on, replace the bulb.
If the warning light goes on when the wire is grounded to the frame or cylinder block, the engine
unit should be checked for being loose or poorly grounded. If the unit is found to be tight and
properly grounded, it should be removed and a new one installed. (The presence of sealing
compound on the threads of the engine unit will cause a poor ground).
If the warning light remains lit when it normally should be out, replace the engine unit before
proceeding further to determine the cause for a low pressure indication.
The warning light will sometimes light up or flicker when engine is idling, even though oil pressure
is adequate. However, light should go out when engine speed is increased.

REMOVAL
1. Remove the transmission. 2. Remove flywheel.
Rear Main Seal Removal
3. Use an awl to punch two holes in the crankshaft rear oil seal. Punch the holes on opposite sides
of the crankshaft and just above the bearing
cap-to-cylinder block split line. Install a sheet metal screw in each hole. Use two large screwdrivers
or small pry bars and pry against both screws at the same time to remove the crankshaft rear oil
seal. It may be necessary to place small blocks of wood against the cylinder block to provide a
fulcrum point for the pry bars. Use caution throughout this procedure to avoid scratching or
otherwise damaging the crankshaft oil seal surface.
4. Clean the oil seal recess in the cylinder block and main bearing cap. Inspect and clean the oil
seal contact surface on the crankshaft.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: This installation procedure requires the use of hand tools only. The use of power tools
or hammering on the installer can damage the sleeve and seal.
Rear Main Seal Installation Tool
1. Attach the rear crankshaft adapter to the rear of the crankshaft using the supplied mounting
screws.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
LIGHT TRUCK: 1992-94 AEROSTAR, EXPLORER, RANGER
ISSUE: Coolant loss, with no visible sign of leakage, may occur on some vehicles. This may be
due to internal leaks from a failed intake manifold gasket caused by loose intake manifold bolts, a
fouled intake manifold, pitting/corrosion, or loose cylinder head bolts.
ACTION: Refer to the following procedures for service details.
NOTE:
DUE TO AIR BEING TRAPPED IN THE COOLING SYSTEM, IT IS NOT UNUSUAL TO ADD 44
OZ (118-207 ML) COOLANT UP TO 7500 MILES (12,000 KM) AFTER INITIAL FILL.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Run the engine for 10 minutes, or as required, to build pressure in the cooling system for a leak
inspection. Examine the radiator, side tanks, coolant recovery bottle, hoses and connections,
intake manifold, cylinder heads and block for external coolant leaks. If no external leak can be
found, then the concern may be with the lower intake manifold gasket, intake manifold
pitting/corrosion, or with low cylinder head bolt torque.
2. Measure the cylinder head bolt torque. If torque is less than 80 N-m (59 lb.ft.), replace Cylinder
Head Gasket (F5TZ-6051-A RH, and F5TZ-6051-B LH) using the procedure in this TSB article.
3. If coolant loss continues, even with proper head bolt torque, remove intake manifold and remove
all old gasket material and any coolant residue with a soft non-metallic or aluminum wire brush.
Inspect manifold for corrosion/erosion/pitting damage at the four (4) water passages (Figure 1). If
damaged, the intake manifold must be replaced.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE A SAND DISK OR SIMILAR POWER TOOL. IF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD
SURFACE IS PITTED (FIGURE 1), THEN THE

MANIFOLD MUST BE REPLACED.
4. Replace the lower intake manifold gasket with the new Carrier-type Intake Manifold Gasket
(F5TZ-9439-A). Use the procedures found in this TSB article.
DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE - INTAKE AND CYLINDER HEAD GASKETS
Service the intake manifold (lower) and cylinder head gaskets per the appropriate
Powertrain/Drivetrain Service Manual, when required.
INSTALLATION ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE AFTER REMOVING BOTH CYLINDER HEAD AND
INTAKE MANIFOLD
1. Remove all old gasket material with a soft non-metallic or aluminum wire brush.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE A SAND DISK OR SIMILAR POWER TOOL.
2. Before installing the new gasket, remove all old sealer from the intake, heads and block
surfaces, and check for proper condition. Clean all exposed areas very thoroughly with Metal
Surface Cleaner (F4AZ-19A536-RA) or denatured alcohol.
NOTE:
THE 4.0L ENGINE SHOULD ALWAYS BE ASSEMBLED USING NEW CYLINDER HEAD BOLTS.

lb.in.). See Figure 3. Also, see TSB 92-14-13.
4. Continue reassembly per procedures in appropriate year Service Manual.
5. Fill cooling system using the "Filling and Bleeding the Coolant System" procedure in this TSB
article.
FILLING AND BLEEDING THE COOLANT SYSTEM
WARNING:
NEVER REMOVE THE RADIATOR CAP UNDER ANY CONDITIONS WHILE THE ENGINE IS
OPERATING. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO
THE COOLING SYSTEM OR ENGINE AND/OR CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. USE EXTREME
CARE WHEN REMOVING THE RADIATOR CAP FROM A HOT RADIATOR. IF POSSIBLE, WAIT
UNTIL ENGINE HAS COOLED, THEN WRAP A THICK CLOTH AROUND THE RADIATOR CAP
AND TURN IT SLOWLY TO THE FIRST STOP. STEP BACK WHILE THE PRESSURE IS
RELEASED FROM THE COOLING SYSTEM. WHEN YOU ARE SURE ALL THE PRESSURE
HAS BEEN RELEASED, PRESS DOWN ON THE RADIATOR CAP (STILL USING A CLOTH),
TURN AND REMOVE IT.

In order to bleed the cooling system properly after an initial fill with coolant, it might need up to five
(5) cycles of the following:
1. Heating up the system (thermostat open).
2. Ensuring coolant is at least up to the "cold" fill mark of the overflow bottle.
3. Letting coolant cool down (temperature gauge below "N" of normal).
4. Topping off coolant overflow to "cold" mark.
5. Repeating cycle.
FILLING
WARNING:
USE CAUTION WHEN ADDING COOLANT MIXTURE TO RADIATOR TO AVOID HOT COOLANT
OR STEAM BLOW OUT FROM THE RADIATOR.
NOTE:
USE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO REMOVE AIR FROM THE COOLING SYSTEM AND TO
ENSURE A COMPLETE FILL CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED.
NOTE:
WHEN FILLING A CROSSFLOW RADIATOR, ALLOW TIME FOR THE COOLANT TO FLOW
THROUGH THE RADIATOR TUBES TO THE OTHER END TANK TO ENSURE RADIATOR IS
FULL.
1. Close radiator draincock and install cylinder block drain plug.
2. Fill the cooling system with a 50/50 ethylene glycol and water mixture. Allow several and then
backing off to first stop. This will allow any air to escape and minimize spillage.
4. Slide heater temperature and mode selection levers to maximum heat position.
5. Start engine and allow to operate at fast idle (approximately 2000 rpm) for 3 to 4 minutes. Shut
engine off.
6. With engine off, wrap radiator cap with a thick cloth, carefully remove radiator cap and add
coolant to bring coolant level up to filler neck seat.
7. Replace radiator cap to fully-installed position. Then, back off to first stop. Operate engine at fast
idle until the upper radiator hose is warm (water thermostat opens). To check radiator, shut engine
off, wrap radiator cap with thick cloth and carefully remove radiator cap. Add additional coolant if
necessary. Replace radiator cap to fully-installed position.
8. Open the small cap on the top of the radiator coolant recovery reservoir. The large cap is for the
windshield washer reservoir. NEVER put coolant mixture in windshield washer bottle.
9. Using a suitable suction gun, remove all coolant from radiator coolant recovery reservoir.
10. Add 1 liter (1.1 quart) of 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol and water to the radiator coolant
recovery reservoir. Close small cap.

^ COOLING SYSTEM - LOSS OF COOLANT - 4.0L ENGINE - REVISED INTAKE MANIFOLD
GASKET AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
^ LEAKS - COOLANT - 4.0L ENGINE - REVISED INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET AND
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
LIGHT TRUCK: 1992-94 AEROSTAR, EXPLORER, RANGER
ISSUE: Coolant loss, with no visible sign of leakage, may occur on some vehicles. This may be
due to internal leaks from a failed intake manifold gasket caused by loose intake manifold bolts, a
fouled intake manifold, pitting/corrosion, or loose cylinder head bolts.
ACTION: Refer to the following procedures for service details.
NOTE:
DUE TO AIR BEING TRAPPED IN THE COOLING SYSTEM, IT IS NOT UNUSUAL TO ADD 44
OZ (118-207 ML) COOLANT UP TO 7500 MILES (12,000 KM) AFTER INITIAL FILL.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Run the engine for 10 minutes, or as required, to build pressure in the cooling system for a leak
inspection. Examine the radiator, side tanks, coolant recovery bottle, hoses and connections,
intake manifold, cylinder heads and block for external coolant leaks. If no external leak can be
found, then the concern may be with the lower intake manifold gasket, intake manifold
pitting/corrosion, or with low cylinder head bolt torque.
2. Measure the cylinder head bolt torque. If torque is less than 80 N-m (59 lb.ft.), replace Cylinder
Head Gasket (F5TZ-6051-A RH, and F5TZ-6051-B LH) using the procedure in this TSB article.
3. If coolant loss continues, even with proper head bolt torque, remove intake manifold and remove
all old gasket material and any coolant residue with a soft non-metallic or aluminum wire brush.
Inspect manifold for corrosion/erosion/pitting damage at the four (4) water passages (Figure 1). If
damaged, the intake manifold must be replaced.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE A SAND DISK OR SIMILAR POWER TOOL. IF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD
SURFACE IS PITTED (FIGURE 1), THEN THE
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Intake Manifold Gasket: > 95910
> May > 95 > Cooling System - Coolant Loss > Page 1807
MANIFOLD MUST BE REPLACED.
4. Replace the lower intake manifold gasket with the new Carrier-type Intake Manifold Gasket
(F5TZ-9439-A). Use the procedures found in this TSB article.
DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE - INTAKE AND CYLINDER HEAD GASKETS
Service the intake manifold (lower) and cylinder head gaskets per the appropriate
Powertrain/Drivetrain Service Manual, when required.
INSTALLATION ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE AFTER REMOVING BOTH CYLINDER HEAD AND
INTAKE MANIFOLD
1. Remove all old gasket material with a soft non-metallic or aluminum wire brush.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE A SAND DISK OR SIMILAR POWER TOOL.
2. Before installing the new gasket, remove all old sealer from the intake, heads and block
surfaces, and check for proper condition. Clean all exposed areas very thoroughly with Metal
Surface Cleaner (F4AZ-19A536-RA) or denatured alcohol.
NOTE:
THE 4.0L ENGINE SHOULD ALWAYS BE ASSEMBLED USING NEW CYLINDER HEAD BOLTS.
3. Position cylinder head gaskets on cylinder block. Install cylinder head locating dowels. Position
the cylinder heads onto the head gaskets and locating dowels (Figure 4).

NOTE:
IF 1992 VEHICLES HAVE VALVE COVER GASKETS OF THE CORK TYPE, THESE GASKETS
MUST BE REPLACED WITH METAL-TYPE (CARRIER) GASKET. THE NEW TYPE GASKET IS A
THINNER GASKET, THEREFORE TO PREVENT BOTTOMING IT IS IMPORTANT TO RE-USE
THE CONICAL SPRING WASHER SCREWS (W700099-S309M), M6X20 MM, TOGETHER WITH
REINFORCEMENTS (FLANGE PLATES), -6A523-; AND STUD (E804194-S72), M6X20/M6X20,
W10 WASHER, AND WITH REINFORCEMENT, -6A523-. SEE FIGURE 3. ALSO, SEE TSB
92-14-13.
CAUTION:
CHECK FOR BOTTOMING TO ENSURE CORRECT PARTS WERE INSTALLED DURING
PREVIOUS REPAIR. ANY FAILURE TO USE CORRECT FASTENERS CAN RESULT IN AN OIL
LEAK AND A REPEAT REPAIR. ALSO CHECK FOR VISIBLE FLATNESS OF THE VALVE
COVER RAIL USING A STRAIGHT EDGE. AN OUT OF FLAT RAIL WILL REQUIRE A VALVE
COVER REPLACEMENT, OR REPAIR.
NOTE:
LATER MODEL YEAR VEHICLES (LATE 1992 AND 1993 THROUGH CURRENT), SHOULD
HAVE CARRIER GASKETS ALREADY INSTALLED, WITH SHORT SCREWS (W701035-S300),
M6XM16MM, WITH CONICAL SPRING WASHERS; AND STUDS (W701041-S300),
M6X16/M6X16MM WITH CONICAL SPRING WASHERS; AND SHOULD NOT HAVE
REINFORCEMENTS. CHECK THAT THIS HARDWARE WAS INSTALLED AND THEN RE-USE
FASTENERS.
NOTE:
STUD GOES IN UPPER REAR HOLE. ENSURE BOLT HOLES ARE CLEAN AND FREE OF OIL
RESIDUE.
3. Install valve cover, rocker arm cover flange plates and bolts. Tighten bolts starting from center
bolts and working in crisscross pattern to end bolts. Torque in the same pattern to 6-8 N-m (53-71
lb.in.). See Figure 3. Also, see TSB 92-14-13.
4. Continue reassembly per procedures in appropriate year Service Manual.
5. Fill cooling system using the "Filling and Bleeding the Coolant System" procedure in this TSB
article.
FILLING AND BLEEDING THE COOLANT SYSTEM
WARNING:
NEVER REMOVE THE RADIATOR CAP UNDER ANY CONDITIONS WHILE THE ENGINE IS
OPERATING. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO
THE COOLING SYSTEM OR ENGINE AND/OR CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. USE EXTREME
CARE WHEN REMOVING THE RADIATOR CAP FROM A HOT RADIATOR. IF POSSIBLE, WAIT
UNTIL ENGINE HAS COOLED, THEN WRAP A THICK CLOTH AROUND THE RADIATOR CAP
AND TURN IT SLOWLY TO THE FIRST STOP. STEP BACK WHILE THE PRESSURE IS
RELEASED FROM THE COOLING SYSTEM. WHEN YOU ARE SURE ALL THE PRESSURE
HAS BEEN RELEASED, PRESS DOWN ON THE RADIATOR CAP (STILL USING A CLOTH),
TURN AND REMOVE IT.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Intake Manifold Gasket: > 95910
> May > 95 > Cooling System - Coolant Loss > Page 1813
In order to bleed the cooling system properly after an initial fill with coolant, it might need up to five
(5) cycles of the following:
1. Heating up the system (thermostat open).
2. Ensuring coolant is at least up to the "cold" fill mark of the overflow bottle.
3. Letting coolant cool down (temperature gauge below "N" of normal).
4. Topping off coolant overflow to "cold" mark.
5. Repeating cycle.
FILLING
WARNING:
USE CAUTION WHEN ADDING COOLANT MIXTURE TO RADIATOR TO AVOID HOT COOLANT
OR STEAM BLOW OUT FROM THE RADIATOR.
NOTE:
USE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO REMOVE AIR FROM THE COOLING SYSTEM AND TO
ENSURE A COMPLETE FILL CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED.
NOTE:
WHEN FILLING A CROSSFLOW RADIATOR, ALLOW TIME FOR THE COOLANT TO FLOW
THROUGH THE RADIATOR TUBES TO THE OTHER END TANK TO ENSURE RADIATOR IS
FULL.
1. Close radiator draincock and install cylinder block drain plug.
2. Fill the cooling system with a 50/50 ethylene glycol and water mixture. Allow several and then
backing off to first stop. This will allow any air to escape and minimize spillage.
4. Slide heater temperature and mode selection levers to maximum heat position.
5. Start engine and allow to operate at fast idle (approximately 2000 rpm) for 3 to 4 minutes. Shut
engine off.
6. With engine off, wrap radiator cap with a thick cloth, carefully remove radiator cap and add
coolant to bring coolant level up to filler neck seat.
7. Replace radiator cap to fully-installed position. Then, back off to first stop. Operate engine at fast
idle until the upper radiator hose is warm (water thermostat opens). To check radiator, shut engine
off, wrap radiator cap with thick cloth and carefully remove radiator cap. Add additional coolant if
necessary. Replace radiator cap to fully-installed position.
8. Open the small cap on the top of the radiator coolant recovery reservoir. The large cap is for the
windshield washer reservoir. NEVER put coolant mixture in windshield washer bottle.
9. Using a suitable suction gun, remove all coolant from radiator coolant recovery reservoir.
10. Add 1 liter (1.1 quart) of 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol and water to the radiator coolant
recovery reservoir. Close small cap.
NOTE:
MODEL YEAR 1995 BOLTS WITH CAPTIVE WASHERS ARE NOT USABLE ON PREVIOUS

Timing Chain: Fundamentals and Basics
TIMING CHAIN REPLACEMENT HINTS AND TIPS
- Always replace both the timing chain and both sprockets as a combined unit. A worn timing chain will not properly fit the teeth of a new sprocket and will result in a premature
failure.
- A new timing chain will rapidly wear away the teeth of an old sprocket.
NOTE: Since the water pump and drive belts will need to be removed during this procedure, it is
important to note any related deficiencies prior to starting the procedure. -
Inspect the water pump for signs of leakage and inspect the pulley for any looseness or wobble. If
any wobble is detected the water pump should be replaced.
- Inspect the drive belts and replace if necessary.
- Inspect the drive belt idler/tensioner pulleys for looseness and wobble. Replace any pulley which
does not spin freely or has any wobble.
- Inspect the cooling fan clutch for proper operation. Under cold conditions the clutch should be disengaged, allowing the fan to spin freely.
- Under hot conditions the clutch should tighten up, coupling the fan to the water pump pulley/shaft.
- Rotate the engine to number 1 Top Dead Center prior to removing the timing chain.
NOTE: The alignment marks on the camshaft and crankshaft gears are positioned at number 1 Top
Dead Center.
- When removing the water pump, any bolts which show signs of corrosion should be replaced and
the holes/threads should be chased or re-tapped.
- Oil pan removal is required to remove the timing cover. Bolts from the oil pan extend through the
bottom of the timing cover. Removing the bolts and loosening the remaining pan bolts to remove
the timing cover will tend to cause oil leakage from the pan gasket.
NOTE: To prevent leakage, when the oil pan is removed or the bolts are loosened, the gasket
should always be replaced.
- When tightening the oil pan bolts always use a torque wrench. Correct sealing requires the gasket
to be evenly torqued across its entire sealing surface.
- Do not turn the crankshaft or camshaft with the pulleys off. Using slip joint pliers or pipe wrenches
to turn the crankshaft will damage the surface and affect the press fit of the pulley.
- Silicone sealant should be used very sparingly. Excessive sealant which squeezes out on the
inside of the gasket can accumulate and restrict the oil pump pickup screen or the coolant heater
core.
- Inspect the chain guides and tensioner foot and replace if excessively worn.
NOTE: If the chain guides are worn past 50% of their original thickness the guides may not last the
life of the new chain and should be replaced.
- When installing the chain leave the initial slack on the tensioner side, the opposite side should be
tight. If any slack is left on the side opposite of the tensioner, upon initially rotating the engine the
camshaft/crankshaft alignment will be incorrect.

Idle Speed: Adjustments
NOTE: Curb and fast idle speeds are controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and Idle
Air Control (IAC) valve assembly. The IAC valve and idle speed is not adjustable. A large increase
or decrease in closed plate airflow from the calibrated level will not allow effective idle speed
control.
Throttle Body Assembly
Throttle bodies with sludge tolerant design are identified with a yellow/black decal. The throttle
body must not be cleaned inside the bore, as this cleaning will impair the sensitive coating. Sludge
accumulation will not affect the idle air flow. The cleaning procedure for the IAC valve still applies.
RPM LIMIT CHECK PROCEDURE - Self-Test constant tone
STAR tester or equivalent scanner required
1. Activate engine running Self-Test.
2. After diagnostic trouble code 11 or 111 has been displayed, unlatch and within 4 seconds latch
the Self-Test Input (STI) button.
3. A single pulse code indicates the entry mode, then observe the Self-Test Output (STO) of the
STAR tester.
- A constant tone, solid light or "STO LO" readout indicates base idle rpm is within range.
- Beeping tone, flashing light, or STO LO readout at 8.0 Hz indicates Throttle Position (TP) is out of
range due to over adjustment.
- Beeping tone, flashing light, or STO LO readout at 4.0 Hz indicates base idle rpm is too fast.
- Beeping tone, flashing light, or STO LO readout at 1.0 Hz indicates base idle is too slow.
4. To exit test, unlatch STI button, then wait 4 seconds for reinitialization (after 10 minutes it will exit
by itself).
5. If the idle rpm (engine warm, in Neutral, A/C "Off") is not within limits, refer to Testing and
Inspection / Procedures / Air Induction Diagnosis

Ignition Timing Connector: Description and Operation Octane Adjustment Switch Operation
In-line Connector With Shorting Bar
PURPOSE The octane adjustment switch is used to retard the ignition timing approximately three
degrees to reduce detonation due to use of lower grade fuels.
OPERATION When the switch jumper is INSTALLED, the computed timing is normal. With the
jumper REMOVED, the timing computed is retarded approximately three degrees. This is done to
allow for optimum spark advance for effective combustion of the air/fuel mixture.

ISSUE This TSB article describes Ford Motor Company's position on the use of propylene
glycol-based engine coolants.
ACTION
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Coolant > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Engine Coolant - Propylene Glycol Recommendations > Page 1941
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.

If a fan blade is found to be bent or damaged in any way, do not attempt to repair or reuse
damaged part. Proper balance is essential in fan assembly operation. Balance cannot be ensured
once a fan assembly has been found to be bent or damaged, and failure may occur during
operation, creating an extremely dangerous condition. Always replace damaged fan assembly.
- Place fan on flat surface with leading edge facing down. If the clearance between the fan blade
touching surface and the opposite blade is more than 0.090 in (2 mm), replace the fan.

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

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

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

Fan Clutch: Testing and Inspection Fan Clutch Operational Test
WARNING: Do not operate the engine until the fan has been first checked for possible cracks and
separations.
1. Run engine at a fast idle speed 1500 RPM until normal operating temperature is reached. This
can be done more quickly by blocking off the front
of the radiator with cardboard.
NOTE: Regardless of temperatures, the unit must be operated for at least five minutes immediately
before being tested.
2. Stop engine and, using a glove or a cloth to protect the hand, immediately check the effort
required to turn the fan.
- If considerable effort is required, it can be assumed that the coupling is operating satisfactorily.
- If very little effort is required to turn the fan, the coupling is not operating properly and should be
replaced.
Bi-Metallic Coiled Spring Removal
3. The clutch fan may be tested while the vehicle is being driven. To check, disconnect the
bi-metallic spring, and rotate it 90° counterclockwise.
This disables the temperature-controlled, free-wheeling feature and the clutch performs like a
conventional fan. If this cures the overheating condition, replace the clutch fan.

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

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
PURPOSE
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor provides an input to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM uses engine coolant temperature data to adjust the fuel injection base pulse
width, EGR flow, and ignition timing.
CONSTRUCTION
The ECT is a two lead thermistor type sensor with a negative temperature coefficient.
Descriptive Schematic
OPERATION
The PCM applies a 5.0 volt reference voltage to the ECT signal lead while the signal return lead is
connected to a common sensor ground.
As the temperature of the engine coolant increases the resistance of the ECT sensor decreases
and correspondingly the voltage drop across the ECT sensor is reduced.
A decrease in engine coolant temperature will increase the resistance of the ECT and raise the
voltage drop across the sensor.
The normal operating range of the ECT is 3.50 volts (50°F) to 0.35 volts (230°F).
Due to its negative temperature coefficient, poor electrical connections or minor increases in
resistance across the ECT circuit harness and ground connections can result in temperature values
that are lower than actual.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 21/116 - The ECT sensor output is out of self-test range, 0.3-3.7 volts.
DTC 61/117 - The ECT sensor output is less than the self-test minimum, 0.2 volts.
DTC 51/118 - The ECT sensor output is greater than the self-test maximum, 4.6 volts.

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

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

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
PURPOSE
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor provides an input to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM uses engine coolant temperature data to adjust the fuel injection base pulse
width, EGR flow, and ignition timing.
CONSTRUCTION
The ECT is a two lead thermistor type sensor with a negative temperature coefficient.
Descriptive Schematic
OPERATION
The PCM applies a 5.0 volt reference voltage to the ECT signal lead while the signal return lead is
connected to a common sensor ground.
As the temperature of the engine coolant increases the resistance of the ECT sensor decreases
and correspondingly the voltage drop across the ECT sensor is reduced.
A decrease in engine coolant temperature will increase the resistance of the ECT and raise the
voltage drop across the sensor.
The normal operating range of the ECT is 3.50 volts (50°F) to 0.35 volts (230°F).
Due to its negative temperature coefficient, poor electrical connections or minor increases in
resistance across the ECT circuit harness and ground connections can result in temperature values
that are lower than actual.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 21/116 - The ECT sensor output is out of self-test range, 0.3-3.7 volts.
DTC 61/117 - The ECT sensor output is less than the self-test minimum, 0.2 volts.
DTC 51/118 - The ECT sensor output is greater than the self-test maximum, 4.6 volts.

REMOVAL
NOTE: The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is located in the lower intake manifold near
the water outlet connection.
1. Disconnect negative battery cable.
2. Partially drain cooling system.
3. Disconnect ECT sensor electrical connector.
4. Remove ECT sensor from lower intake manifold.
INSTALLATION
1. To install, reverse removal procedures.
2. Tighten the ECT sensor to 8-13 Nm (6-8 ft lb).
3. Refill cooling system.
NOTE: When the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive
symptoms may occur while the powertrain control module relearns its adaptive strategy. The
vehicle may need to be driven 10 miles or more to relearn the adaptive strategy.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct model year application and revise the
part descriptions.
ISSUE: Some vehicles may show temperature gauge fluctuations and/or inaccurate (high) readings
(affected engines are 3.0L/4.0L Ranger. 4.0L Explore and 1.9L Escort/Tracer). The inaccurate
(high) readings may result in a customer concern with the perception of engine overheating. This is
caused by Gauge/Sender design characteristics which create a sensitive gauge indication.
ACTION: Replace the gauge and sender with a new Temperature Indication Service Kit. Refer to
the following for Additional Concerns and Service Procedure for details.
ADDITIONAL CONCERNS
Please verify the following two (2) concerns before implementing the fix for the above concern.
1. Perform cooling system diagnosis per TSB 93-24-8.
2. Vehicles built from 1/1/93 to 4/1/93 may experience high temperature gauge indications which
may have been due to the installation of improperly manufactured temperature sending units. The
customer concern is that the gauge indication is beyond the letter "L" in the word "NORMAL". If this
condition occurs, inspect the temperature sender for an "A3" stamped date code on the hex of the
sending unit. If an "A3" unit is found, replace with "NON-A3" service stock.
3. 1993 Taurus/Sable 3.8L vehicles built 8/16/93 to 8/31/93 may have high temperature gauge
readings caused by an incorrect temperature sending unit installed at the assembly plant. The
incorrect temperature sending unit can be identified by a blue insulator around the terminal. The
correct temperature sending unit has a green insulator. If a temperature sending unit with a blue
insulator is found, replace it with an F1SZ-10884-A.
4. Explorer 4.0L vehicles with date code 2204 to 2274 should not be used. Any other date code
outside this is acceptable even with an "A3" stamp.
NOTE:

Use the following "Cooling System Diagnosis" procedure to diagnose a cooling system that may
not be reaching normal operating temperature. Follow the "Thermostat Diagnosis" procedure to
determine if the thermostat may be at fault. Check the thermostat without removing it from the
vehicle by using Rotunda Service Coolant Temperature Monitor Harness 007-00064.
A new cooling system diagnosis procedure has been developed for engines that do not reach
normal operating temperature. A new thermostat diagnosis procedure also has been developed,
using a new service coolant temperature monitor harness.
NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE WILL DIAGNOSE ONLY COOLING SYSTEMS THAT MAY NOT BE
REACHING NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. IT WILL NOT DIAGNOSE A
THERMOSTAT THAT CAUSES AN ENGINE OVERHEAT CONDITION.
NOTE: THE ESCORT/TRACER SPECIFIC APPLICATION FOR THIS ARTICLE IS AS FOLLOWS:
^ 1983-1990 Escort 1.9L and 1.6L
^ 1991-1994 Escort 1.9L
^ 1991-1994 Tracer 1.9L Only
THERMOSTAT DIAGNOSIS
NOTE: DISCONNECTING THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) TO ATTACH A
BREAKOUT BOX OR AN EEC IV MONITOR WILL ERASE THE ADAPTIVE LEARNING FROM
MEMORY AND MAY "HIDE" A DRIVE CONCERN TEMPORARILY UNTIL THE ADAPTIVE
LEARNING IS RE-LEARNED.
NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE IS MOST ACCURATE IF PERFORMED INDOORS AT LESS THAN
100~F (38~C) AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. THIS TEST MAY BE PERFORMED WITH OR
WITHOUT THE HOOD OPEN AND WITH THE ENGINE WARM OR COLD.
CAUTION: ALWAYS VENT THE EXHAUST TO THE OUTSIDE WHEN PERFORMING THIS
TEST.
1. Check the coolant level in the radiator and coolant recovery reservoir.
2. With the key in the "off" position, proceed as follows:
a. Remove the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor harness connector.
b. Attach Rotunda Service Coolant Temperature Monitor Harness 007-00064 as a jumper between
the PCM and the ECT.
c. Attach Rotunda 73 Digital Multimeter 105-00051 or equivalent to the thermostat monitor harness.

monitored while the sensor retains its connection to the wiring harness.
NOTE: A ROTUNDA NEW GENERATION STAR TESTER (NGS) 007-00500 OR THE ROTUNDA
SERVICE BAY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (SBDS) 001-00001 MAY BE USED TO MONITOR THE
ECT ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH DATA COMMUNICATIONS LINK (DCL). THE SBDS
SEQUENCE TO USE FOR THE SCREEN IS "TOOLBOX - ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROL
AND DCL - ITEM".
3. Vehicles equipped with electric engine cooling fan(s) must have a fan running during this test
(high or low speed may be used). Two methods may be used to turn the fan(s) on:
a. Disconnect the A/C compressor clutch power supply and turn the climate control to A/C "ON". Or
b. Disconnect the power supply to the cooling fan and supply 12 volts direct to the fan connector
from the battery.
NOTE: A GROUND MAY BE REQUIRED FOR SOME APPLICATIONS.
4. Place transmission in "park" or "neutral".
NOTE: RUNNING THIS TEST WITH THE VEHICLE IN GEAR OR WITH THE A/C COMPRESSOR
CLUTCH ENGAGED (RUNNING) WILL CAUSE IMPROPER DIAGNOSIS
5. Start the engine and allow to idle throughout this test:
a. Allow engine to run for 2 minutes, then record ECT voltage.
b. From now on, record ECT voltage every 60 seconds.
c. When the ECT voltage trend changes direction or changes only slightly (0.03 volts or less) from
the previous reading, record this as the thermostat opening voltage.
d. Use the "Voltage and Corresponding Temperature Chart" shown to obtain actual coolant
temperatures.
6. If the opening voltage is GREATER than 0.75 volts (less than 18~ F/ 82~ C), or 0.85 volts (170~
F/ 77~ C) for 2.3L HSC engine only, replace the thermostat. Refer to the dealer Master Parts
Catalog for correct thermostat usage.
7. If the thermostat opening voltage is LESS than 0.75 volts (greater than 180~ F/ 82~ C), or 0.85
volts (170~ F/ 77~ C) for 2.3L HSC engine only, the thermostat is good and should NOT be
replaced. The "Cooling System Diagnosis Chart" should be referenced for further instructions.
NOTE: The 10~ F opening temperature difference for the 2.3L HSC engine is due to the ECT
sensor location.

Thermostat: Testing and Inspection Thermostat Test
The thermostat should be replaced only after the following tests have been performed:
1. Heat Test
89° C (192° F) Thermostat
Immerse the removed thermostat in a 89°C (192°F) solution of antifreeze and water mixture. An
89°C (192°F) thermostat should open to 0.08 mm (0.0003 inch). When immersed in a 100° C (212°
F) solution, the thermostat should open to 3.2 mm (1/8 inch).
92° C (197° F) Thermostat
A 92°C (197°F) thermostat immersed in a 92°C (197°F) solution of antifreeze and water should
open to O.O8 mm (0.0003 inch), when immersed in the 100° C (212° F) solution, the thermostat
should open 3.2 mm (1/8 inch).
2. Visual Test
a. If heat is not available, the thermostat should be checked for leakage. This is done by holding
the thermostat up to a lighted background.
Leakage of light around the thermostat valve (thermostat at room temperature) indicates that the
thermostat should be replaced with an original equipment, approved thermostat. Some thermostats
have a small leakage notch at one location on the perimeter of the thermostat valve which is
considered normal.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to delete a Policy Manual reference.
ISSUE: A vibration/shake may be felt in the seat and/or floor at speeds above 80 km/h (50 mph)
and peaking near 105 km/h (65 mph) on some vehicles. This condition is not rpm dependent and
occurs in all driving modes, i.e., acceleration, cruise and deceleration. An "aftershake" condition
may also exist when driving over a bump at speeds less than 72 km/h (45 mph). This condition
may improve with tire balancing or tire exchange, but may not be completely eliminated. This may
be the result of the movement frequency of the engine aligning with the tire rotation frequency,
causing the vibration/shake.
ACTION: Confirm the vibration/shake condition occurs in all driving modes, including neutral coast.
Install revised LH and RH engine mounts and a rear axle-to-frame lateral shock absorber kit. Also,
install a revised muffler tailpipe assembly on all 1991-94 model years. Refer to the following
Service Procedure for details.
This procedure will NOT compensate for:
^ Out-of-round or out-of-balance tire/wheel assemblies
^ Vibration resulting from abnormal tire wear
^ Other tire/wheel quality or out-of-specification issues.
Wheel/tire assemblies may require service if the vehicle is not acceptable following the new engine
mount and rear axle shock absorber installation. Refer to the Noise/Vibration/Harshness (NVH)
Section of the appropriate Explorer Service Manual for further details.
NOTE:
THIS TSB ARTICLE DOES NOT APPLY TO VEHICLES WITH ENGINE BLOCK HEATERS.
INADEQUATE CLEARANCE EXISTS FOR NEW ENGINE MOUNT INSTALLATION WHEN THE
VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AN ENGINE BLOCK HEATER.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Visually inspect the tires for abnormal/irregular wear patterns. If necessary, replace the tire(s)
with original equipment type and size. Set tire pressure as specified on the certification label
located on the left front door pillar.
2. Check the tire/wheel assembly for correct balance and repair as necessary.
3. If the vibration/shake condition still exists, install the new Engine Mount and Rear Axle Shock
Absorber Kit (F67Z-6K007-AA) as per TSB Article 96-4-15. Refer to the Instruction Sheets included
with the kit for service details.
NOTE:

ISSUE: Some vehicles may exhibit a high pitched "whistle" noise coming from the exhaust once
the vehicle is warmed up. This may be caused by a weld skip on the internals of the muffler. As the
vehicle warms up, the weld skip opens up and allows air to travel through at high speeds resulting
in the whistle.
ACTION: Replace the muffler and tailpipe assembly with a new assembly built outside of the build
dates listed. The new assemblies will not have the weld skip. Refer to the following service
procedure.
SERVICE PROCEDURE

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to delete a Policy Manual reference.
ISSUE: A vibration/shake may be felt in the seat and/or floor at speeds above 80 km/h (50 mph)
and peaking near 105 km/h (65 mph) on some vehicles. This condition is not rpm dependent and
occurs in all driving modes, i.e., acceleration, cruise and deceleration. An "aftershake" condition
may also exist when driving over a bump at speeds less than 72 km/h (45 mph). This condition
may improve with tire balancing or tire exchange, but may not be completely eliminated. This may
be the result of the movement frequency of the engine aligning with the tire rotation frequency,
causing the vibration/shake.
ACTION: Confirm the vibration/shake condition occurs in all driving modes, including neutral coast.
Install revised LH and RH engine mounts and a rear axle-to-frame lateral shock absorber kit. Also,
install a revised muffler tailpipe assembly on all 1991-94 model years. Refer to the following
Service Procedure for details.
This procedure will NOT compensate for:
^ Out-of-round or out-of-balance tire/wheel assemblies
^ Vibration resulting from abnormal tire wear
^ Other tire/wheel quality or out-of-specification issues.
Wheel/tire assemblies may require service if the vehicle is not acceptable following the new engine
mount and rear axle shock absorber installation. Refer to the Noise/Vibration/Harshness (NVH)
Section of the appropriate Explorer Service Manual for further details.
NOTE:
THIS TSB ARTICLE DOES NOT APPLY TO VEHICLES WITH ENGINE BLOCK HEATERS.
INADEQUATE CLEARANCE EXISTS FOR NEW ENGINE MOUNT INSTALLATION WHEN THE
VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AN ENGINE BLOCK HEATER.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Visually inspect the tires for abnormal/irregular wear patterns. If necessary, replace the tire(s)
with original equipment type and size. Set tire pressure as specified on the certification label
located on the left front door pillar.
2. Check the tire/wheel assembly for correct balance and repair as necessary.
3. If the vibration/shake condition still exists, install the new Engine Mount and Rear Axle Shock
Absorber Kit (F67Z-6K007-AA) as per TSB Article 96-4-15. Refer to the Instruction Sheets included
with the kit for service details.
NOTE:
REPLACE EXHAUST SYSTEM ON ALL VEHICLES WITH OR WITHOUT A RESONATOR.
4. Use the following service repair procedure for replacing the muffler tailpipe assembly:
a. Hoist vehicle and remove the right rear tire/wheel assembly.
b. Remove muffler-to-catalyst attachment bolts.
c. Remove tailpipe hanger rod from insulator.

Powertrain Control Module: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the signals from various input sensors and
calculates the proper operating strategy for the engine operating conditions.
In addition to normal operating strategy the PCM calculates/learns an adaptive strategy that
compensates for normal wearing and aging of components.
The PCM also provides for self-diagnostic testing. When the ignition is turned on the PCM is
continuously checking its inputs and outputs for values out of specification. Any discrepancies are
recorded as diagnostic trouble codes.
The PCM also provides for operator initiated self-tests. These tests check for specific input values
and output states under defined conditions.
Note: Incorrect testing conditions and minor procedural deviations often result in false trouble
codes and inaccurate information. When initiating self-tests technicians should verify that all
required conditions are met.
OPERATION
The PCM continuously monitors input signals and compares these values to calibration information
stored in its memory.
The PCM's calibration assembly contains the necessary programming to fine-tune the PCM's
engine calibration commands to the vehicle's weight, axle ratio, and transmission application. The
calibration assembly is an integral part of the PCM and is not replaceable.
The PCM determines the correct operating strategy and makes the necessary corrections to its
output signals.

Powertrain Control Module: Reset Procedure
KEEP ALIVE MEMORY AND ADAPTIVE STRATEGY
The EEC-IV system constantly monitors and adjusts the PCM calibration to correct for normal wear
and aging of components. The PCM uses these calibration adjustments to shift fuel delivery
calculations and idle speed specifications to compensate for the aging of the vehicle.
When an Electronic Engine Controls (EEC) system component is replaced, the Keep Alive Memory
(KAM) should be cleared to erase the information stored by the processor from the original
component.
CLEARING KEEP ALIVE MEMORY
To clear the KAM, disconnect the battery negative terminal for five minutes or more (preferably 15
minutes).
ADAPTIVE STRATEGY RELEARN PROCEDURE
After repairs have been made and the KAM cleared drive the the vehicle for at least ten miles to
allow the PCM to relearn the values for optimum performance.
NOTE: During the ten mile relearn drive, the vehicle may exhibit some driveability symptoms.
These should be eliminated when the KAM has relearned the operating values.

Powertrain Control Module: Removal and Replacement
Powertrain Control Module
NOTE: When the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive
symptoms may occur while the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) relearns its adaptive strategy.
The vehicle may need to be driven 10 miles or more to relearn the strategy.
REMOVAL
1. Open hood and disconnect negative battery cable.
2. Remove two screws and right cowl side panel.
3. Disconnect PCM electrical connector.
4. Remove three screws and PCM bracket.
5. Disconnect PCM from connector and remove.

PCM Power Relay: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) power relay provides power to the PCM. The PCM power
relay also provides reverse battery protection for the PCM and related actuator assemblies.
CONSTRUCTION
The relay is a single pole double throw type. This relay does not have an internal diode and is used
with a separate stand alone diode.
OPERATION
The PCM power relay is energized in "RUN" or "START" through the ignition switch. When
energized, battery voltage (B+) flows through the relay. This voltage powers the PCM and its
outputs.
When the ignition switch is turned "OFF", the relay de-energizes, stopping B+ to the PCM.

Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation
OPERATION
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) power relay is
energized, providing power to the fuel pump relay for 1 to 2 seconds through the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) and an Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch.
Fuel pump power is provided through the fuel pump relay contacts, if the PCM does not receive an
ignition signal within approximately one second after the ignition switch is turned to the "ON"
position. A timer circuit in the PCM will open the ground circuit to the fuel pump relay, causing the
fuel pump relay contacts to OPEN. This action stops the power supply to the fuel pump.
When the ignition switch is turned to the "START" position, the PCM closes the ground circuit to
the fuel pump relay, resuming operation of the fuel pump.
After the ignition switch is returned to the "ON" position, power to the fuel pump is supplied through
the fuel pump relay.
The PCM monitors engine speed and opens the fuel pump relay ground circuit if the engine speed
drops below 120 rpm.

ISSUE: Some vehicles may have a disconnect of the Ignition Control Module (ICM) connector or
moisture buildup within the connector. This can cause hard to start/no start, rough idle, or "check
engine light" illumination concerns. The improved gasket and connector retainer that are currently
used in production are now available for service of prior model distributorless ignition systems.
ACTION: Install new Connector Sleeve Retainer Clip and a current production seal (gasket). The
clip assembles in between the connector beams and the ICM which will prevent accidental
disconnects. The new seal is a "solid silicone" gasket that provides improved resistance to
moisture entry into the connector. Refer to the ICM Connector Harness Wire Service kit

Ignition Control Module: Description and Operation
EDIS Module
PURPOSE
The Electronic Distributorless Ignition System (EI), formerly (EDIS)module's primary function is to
deliver full energy spark at a crank angle targeted by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and to
provide the PCM with crankshaft position information.
DESCRIPTION
The EI control module is a twelve pin custom microprocessor-based thick film module. Although
each engine is very different in size and structure, ICM's for each engine are very similar. With the
exception of some pin assignments, basic operation of the EI systems for the different engines is
identical.
OPERATION
The EI control module (ICM) receives input from the Variable Reluctance Sensor (VRS) style
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor in order to identify the passing of the missing tooth on the VRS
trigger wheel.
Synchronization
The module is said to be "synchronized" when the missing tooth is found. Synchronization is
essential to the ICM in order to track the angular position of the crankshaft relative to a fixed
reference and when it should fire the proper coil.
Profile Ignition Pickup
Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) output is synthesized by the ICM using input from the VRS signal. The
PIP signal generated by the ICM indicates engine speed and crankshaft position to the PCM. The
PIP signal is used by the PCM so that it can enable fuel and spark functions and generate a Spark
Angle Word (SAW) signal.
Spark Angle Word
The SAW signal provides spark targeting information to the ICM. By decoding the SAW signal and
using the information it receives from the VRS, the ICM turns the coils on and off at correct times
and in proper sequence. The EI system operates at a high data rate so it can fire sparks more
accurately.

ISSUE This TSB article is a diagnostic procedure to address vehicles that exhibit lean driveability
symptoms and may or may not have any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored in memory.
ACTION Follow the diagnostic procedures described in the following Service Tip. The revised
diagnostic procedure is a more accurate means of diagnosing the symptoms.
SERVICE TIP
MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) DISCUSSION
MAF sensors can get contaminated from a variety of sources: dirt, oil, silicon, spider webs, potting
compound from the sensor itself, etc. When a MAF sensor gets contaminated, it skews the transfer
function such that the sensor over-estimates air flow at idle (causes the fuel system to go rich) and
under-estimates air flow at high air flows (causes fuel system to go lean). This means Long Term
Fuel Trims will learn lean (negative) corrections at idle and learn rich (positive) corrections at higher
air flows.
If vehicle is driven at Wide Open Throttle (WOT) or high loads, the fuel system normally goes open
loop rich to provide maximum power. If the MAF sensor is contaminated, the fuel system will
actually be lean because of under-estimated air flow. During open loop fuel operation, the vehicle
applies Long Term Fuel Trim corrections that have been learned during closed loop operation.
These corrections are often lean corrections learned at lower air flows. This combination of
under-estimated air flow and lean fuel trim corrections can result in spark knock/detonation and
lack of power concerns at WOT and high loads.
One of the indicators for diagnosing this condition is barometric pressure. Barometric pressure
(BARO) is inferred by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software at part throttle and WOT
(there is no actual BARO sensor on MAF-equipped vehicles, except for the 3.8L Supercharged
engine). At high air flows, a contaminated MAF sensor will under-estimate air flow coming into the
engine, hence the PCM infers that the vehicle is operating at a higher altitude. The BARO reading
is stored in Keep Alive Memory (KAM) after it is updated. Other indicators are Long Term Fuel Trim
and MAF

1. Look at the BARO PID. Refer to the Barometric Pressure Reference Chart in this article. At sea
level, BARO should read about 159 Hz (29.91 in. Hg). As a reference, Denver, Colorado at 1524
meters (5000 ft.) altitude should be about 144 Hz (24.88 in.Hg). Normal learned BARO variability is
up to +/- 6 Hz (+/- 2 in. Hg.). If BARO indicates a higher altitude than you are not at (7 or more Hz
lower than expected), you may have MAF contamination. If available, Service Bay Diagnostic
System (SBDS) has a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor that can be used as a barometric
pressure reference. Use "MAP/BARO" test under "Powertrain," "Testers and Meters." Ignore the
hookup screen. Connect GP2 to the reference MAP on the following screen.
NOTE
REMEMBER THAT MOST WEATHER SERVICES REPORT A LOCAL BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED TO SEA LEVEL. THE BARO PID, ON THE OTHER
HAND, REPORTS THE ACTUAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE FOR THE ALTITUDE THE
VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED IN. LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS (HIGH AND LOW
PRESSURE AREAS) WILL CHANGE THE LOCAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BY SEVERAL
INCHES OF MERCURY (+/- 3 Hz, +/- 1 in. Hg.).
NOTE
BARO IS UPDATED ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGH THROTTLE OPENINGS.
THEREFORE, A VEHICLE WHICH IS DRIVEN DOWN FROM A HIGHER ALTITUDE MAY NOT
HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE BARO VALUE IN KAM. IF YOU ARE NOT
CONFIDENT THAT BARO HAS BEEN UPDATED, PERFORM THREE OR FOUR HEAVY,
SUSTAINED ACCELERATIONS AT GREATER THAN HALF-THROTTLE TO ALLOW BARO TO
UPDATE.
2. On a fully warmed up engine, look at Long Term Fuel Trim at idle, in Neutral, A/C off, (LONGFT1
and/or LONGFT2 PIDs). If it is more negative than -12%, the fuel system has learned lean
corrections which may be due to the MAF sensor over-estimating air flow at idle. Note that both
Banks 1 and 2 will exhibit negative corrections for 2-bank system. If only one bank of a 2-bank
system has negative corrections, the MAF sensor is probably not contaminated.
3. On a fully warmed up engine, look at MAF voltage at idle, in Neutral, A/C off (MAF V PID). If it's
30% greater than the nominal MAF V voltage listed in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis
(PC/ED) Diagnostic Value Reference Charts for your vehicle, or greater than 1.1 volts as a rough
guide, the MAF sensor is over-estimating air flow at idle.
4. If at least tow of the previous three steps are true, proceed to disconnect the MAF sensor
connector. This puts the vehicle into Failure Mode and Effects Management (FMEM). In FMEM
mode, air flow is inferred by using rpm and throttle position instead of reading the MAF sensor. (In
addition, the BARO value is reset to a base/unlearned value.) If the lean driveability symptoms go
away, the MAF sensor is probably contaminated and should be replaced. If the lean driveability
symptoms do not go away, go to the PC/ED Service Manual for the appropriate diagnostics.
NOTE
DUE TO INCREASINGLY STRINGENT EMISSION/OBDII REQUIREMENTS, IT IS POSSIBLE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH MAF SENSOR CONTAMINATION TO SET FUEL SYSTEM DTCs
AND ILLUMINATE THE MIL WITH NO DRIVEABILITY CONCERNS. DISCONNECTING THE MAF
ON THESE VEHICLES WILL, THEREFORE, PRODUCE NO IMPROVEMENTS IN
DRIVEABILITY. IN THESE CASES, IF THE BARO, LONGFT1, LONGFT2, AND MAF V PIDs
INDICATE THAT THE MAF IS CONTAMINATED, PROCEED TO REPLACE THE MAF SENSOR.
After replacing the MAF sensor, disconnect the vehicle battery (5 minutes, minimum to reset KAM,
or on newer vehicles, use the "KAM Reset" feature on the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester and
verify that the lean driveability symptoms are gone.

Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow Sensor
PURPOSE
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor measures the total volume and mass of air flowing into the
engine. This value is one of the major factors used by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in
determining the fuel injection base pulse width and ignition timing advance.
CONSTRUCTION
The MAF sensor is located directly in the air flow path between the air cleaner housing and the
throttle body. The sensor is designed and located such that all air entering the intake manifold must
flow through it. Located in the MAF sensor directly in the airstream are two platinum wires, a hot
wire heated by electrical current and a cold reference wire. The MAF sensor uses the air flow
across these wires to calculate its output.
OPERATION
The MAF sensor operates on the principle that if the hot wire is maintained at a constant
temperature above ambient, the thermal loss exhibited by the hot wire is proportional to the total
mass of air flowing across it.
The sensor maintains the hot wire exactly 200°C (392°F) hotter than the reference (cold) wire. The
MAF sensor then measures the amount of electrical current required to maintain this temperature
difference and converts this value to an analog DC voltage. This output varies directly with the
mass air flow rate and ranges from 0.5 to 4.5 volts.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 129 - Insufficient MAF sensor output change during the dynamic response (snap throttle) test.
DTC 157 - MAF sensor output went below the minimum value of 0.4 volts (continuous memory
code).
DTC 158 - MAF sensor output went above the maximum value of 4.5 volts (continuous memory
code).
DTC 159 - MAF sensor output was measured out of range during a self-test, >0.7 volts during the
Key On Engine Off (KOEO) test and not between 0.2-1.5 volts during the Key On Engine Running
(KOER) test.
DTC 184 - MAF sensor output is higher than expected.
DTC 185 - MAF sensor output is lower than expected.
Note: DTC 184, 185 were intended to detect in-range failures of the MAF sensor. The PCM
compares information from the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, throttle position sensor, and fuel
injection pulse width. If any one value appears to be out of line with the other two an in-range
trouble code will be set.

Clutch Pedal Position Switch: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch provides an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM),
allowing it to compensate for changes in engine load resulting from clutch operation. The PCM
adjusts the idle speed and air/fuel ratio according to input from the CPP switch.
OPERATION
A 5.0 volt reference signal is applied to the CPP from the PCM. The CPP switch is open with the
clutch pedal up and closed when down. When the switch is closed it applies ground, through the
signal return circuit, to the CPP circuit, informing the PCM that the clutch pedal is depressed.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 528 - CPP circuit failure, during Key On Engine OFF (KOEO) self-test or while cranking the
PCM sensed a high voltage (clutch pedal not depressed) on the CPP circuit.

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
PURPOSE
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor provides an input to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM uses engine coolant temperature data to adjust the fuel injection base pulse
width, EGR flow, and ignition timing.
CONSTRUCTION
The ECT is a two lead thermistor type sensor with a negative temperature coefficient.
Descriptive Schematic
OPERATION
The PCM applies a 5.0 volt reference voltage to the ECT signal lead while the signal return lead is
connected to a common sensor ground.
As the temperature of the engine coolant increases the resistance of the ECT sensor decreases
and correspondingly the voltage drop across the ECT sensor is reduced.
A decrease in engine coolant temperature will increase the resistance of the ECT and raise the
voltage drop across the sensor.
The normal operating range of the ECT is 3.50 volts (50°F) to 0.35 volts (230°F).
Due to its negative temperature coefficient, poor electrical connections or minor increases in
resistance across the ECT circuit harness and ground connections can result in temperature values
that are lower than actual.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 21/116 - The ECT sensor output is out of self-test range, 0.3-3.7 volts.
DTC 61/117 - The ECT sensor output is less than the self-test minimum, 0.2 volts.
DTC 51/118 - The ECT sensor output is greater than the self-test maximum, 4.6 volts.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor provides base timing and engine speed information to the
Ignition Control Module (ICM). The ICM supplies this information to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) as the Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) signal. The PCM uses this information for fuel injector
timing and calculating ignition timing advance and dwell.
CONSTRUCTION
The CKP is a variable reluctance type sensor that monitors the movement of a 35 tooth wheel
located behind the crankshaft pulley.
EI Ignition System Oscilloscope Waveform
OPERATION
As the teeth on the crankshaft pass by the CKP a voltage is induced in the sensor. The CKP output
is a spiked sine wave that is proportional to crankshaft speed and position. The missing tooth (36
minus 1) design allows the ICM to synchronize the signal and select the correct coil to fire.

Camshaft Sensor
PURPOSE
In a Sequential Electronic Fuel Injection (SEFI) system each individual fuel injector is energized
just prior to the opening of its corresponding intake valve. The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is
used to identify when number 1 cylinder is on compression stroke and to generate the Cylinder
Identification (CID) signal. This CID signal allows the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to
sequence the fuel injectors in the correct order.
CONSTRUCTION
CMP is a single hall effect magnetic switch, activated by a single vane which is driven by the
camshaft.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Intake Air Temperature Sensor
PURPOSE
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor measures the temperature of the incoming air flow. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses this information to adjust the fuel injection base pulse
width, EGR flow, and ignition timing.
CONSTRUCTION
The IAT is a two lead thermistor type sensor with a negative temperature coefficient and is located
in the intake air flow path.
Descriptive Schematic
OPERATION
The PCM applies a 5.0 volt reference voltage to the IAT signal lead while the signal return lead is
connected to a common sensor ground. As the temperature of the incoming air increases the
resistance of the IAT decreases and the voltage drop across the IAT decreases.
A decrease in air temperature will increase the resistance of the IAT and raise the voltage drop
across the sensor.
The normal operating range of the IAT is 3.50 volts (50°F) to 1.02 volts (158°F).
Note: Due to its negative temperature coefficient minor increases in resistance across the IAT
circuit harness and ground connections can result in temperature values that are much lower than
actual.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 64/112 - The IAT sensor output is less than the self-test minimum, 0.2 volts.
DTC 54/113 - The IAT sensor output is greater than the self-test maximum, 4.6 volts.
DTC 24/114 - The IAT sensor output is out of self-test range, 0.3-3.7 volts.

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

Heated Oxygen (HO2S) Sensor: Description and Operation
Heated Oxygen Sensor
PURPOSE
The Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen Sensor(HO2S) detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust
system and produces a variable voltage according to the amount of oxygen present.
When operating in closed loop the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors this input and
correspondingly changes the duration of the fuel injection pulse width to achieve an air/fuel ratio of
14.7:1.
CONSTRUCTION
The sensor is a zirconium dioxide ceramic thimble with a platinum surface electrode. The sensor is
threaded into the exhaust manifold with a sampling tip extending into the exhaust stream.
Heated Oxygen Sensor Operation
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen (HO2S) Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component
Information > Locations > Page 2365
OPERATION
The zirconium dioxide in the sensor is electrically sensitive to differences in the amount of oxygen
present between two sources. The outside of the sensor is vented to the atmosphere while the
inside is exposed to the exhaust stream. The differing amounts of oxygen present between the two
sources causes the sensor to generate a voltage.
A rich fuel mixture will result in a low level of oxygen present in the exhaust. This will produce a
larger difference in oxygen levels sensed by the HO2S which will result in a higher voltage being
produced.
A lean fuel mixture will result in a high level of oxygen present in the exhaust. This will produce a
smaller difference in oxygen levels sensed by the HO2S which will result in a lower voltage being
produced.
Normal operating range for the HO2S is 0.0 volts (lean condition) to 1.1 volts (rich condition).
The HO2S temperature must be above 600°F to operate properly. To minimize heat up time, a
heating element is incorporated into the sensor.
Heated Oxygen Sensor
The HO2S uses a 4 wire connection.
- HO2S wire is the sensor output.
- SIG RTN is the sensor ground.
- 12.0 volt power supply for the sensor heater, from the Ignition Run circuit.
- Ground wire for the sensor heater.

position. The TP sensor has a three-blade electrical connector that is plated. The plating increases
the corrosion resistance on terminals and increases the connector durability. The TP sensor is
mounted on the throttle body and is non-adjustable. As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle
shaft, four (4) operating conditions are determined by the PCM from the TP sensor.
The four (4) vehicle operating conditions are:
^ Closed throttle (idle or deceleration)
^ Part throttle (cruise, moderate acceleration)
^ Wide open throttle (maximum acceleration, de-choke on crank and A/C shut-off)
^ Throttle angle rate.
Background
Recently, revisions have been made to the TPS, which have improved reliability and durability.

A key difference between EEC-IV, OBD I and EEC-V, OBD II is the monitors. EEC-IV monitors are
designed to identify system and component issues. EEC-V monitors are designed to measure the
ability of systems and components to maintain low emission levels.
To minimize the replacement of good components, be advised that the following non-EEC areas
may be the issue:
^ Excessive blow-by
^ PCV malfunction
^ Vacuum leaks
^ Fuel pressure
^ Throttle sticking or linkage binding.
(A2) - EEC-IV Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)
When a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 121, 124 or 125 are set in continuous memory, the
technician is directed to Pinpoint Test G of the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED)
Manual. Pinpoint Test G is named: In-Range MAF/TP/Fuel lnjector Pulse Width Test. The
description of the test is as follows:
^ EEC-IV DTC Code 121, 124, and 125 Description.
This In-Range Self-Test was designed to identify in-range concerns of the MAF sensor, TP sensor,
or the fuel delivery system. The PCM will use information from these three (3) areas based on
vehicle load to generate three (3) independent values. The three (3) independent values will be
continuously monitored by the PCM. If one (1) of the values differs significantly from the others
during normal vehicle operation, a Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be
stored.
EEC codes for the TPS are intended as a supplemental aid to diagnostics. They do not indicate the
root cause since more than one (1) component can set the same code.
For example: EEC-IV, OBD I Codes 122 and 123 and EEC-V, OBD II Codes P0122 and P0123 for
"TP circuit too low" or "TP circuit too high", limit the condition to the TP circuit, connector, or vehicle
harness.
EEC-IV, OBD I Codes: 121, "TP inconsistent with air meter", 124, "TP higher than expected", 125,
"TP lower than expected" and OBD II Code P1121, "TP inconsistent with MAF sensor" are a result
of a comparison of the TP signal to a given airflow. Any un-metered air (downstream of MAF) that
enters the engine, either due to a mechanical situation or electrical sensor condition, may result in
these codes. PC/ED Pinpoint Tests will guide you to the root cause and avoid customer repeat
repairs.
EEC-IV (OBD I) Codes 124 and 125 are set in memory as follows: Codes 124-125 are a
comparison of a given airflow to the TPS voltage (throttle plate position).
Code 124: The PCM has indicated that the airflow rate is too low for the position of the throttle plate
angle.
Causes for EEC-IV, OBD I Code 124:
Air bypass solenoid flow low/blocked (MAF may indicate low during the event).
^ Throttle body obstructed.
^ EGR flow low.
^ TPS circuit concern when accompanied by Codes 122 or 123.
^ BP sensor low.
Code 125: The PCM has indicated that the airflow rate is too high for the position of the throttle
plate.
Causes of EEC-IV, OBD I Code 125:
Air bypass solenoid high/stuck open (MAF may indicate high during this event).
^ EGR flow high.
^ TPS circuit concern when accompanied by Codes 122 or 123.
^ BP sensor high.
These codes are designed to set while in the part throttle drive mode, and often the MIL light
flashes on and off until the condition is gone. In some cases, it is difficult to repeat the codes in a
test drive since the PCM requires a long drive time to calculate the error in the system. At other
times, it may be difficult to repeat because the condition that set the code may be intermittent.
Pinpoint Test G of the PC/ED Manual will guide you to the root cause.
Causes of EEC Codes 122: TPS sensor circuit voltage above maximum.
Causes of EEC codes 123: TPS sensor circuit voltage below minimum.

^ Harness damage.
^ Connector damage or water in connector.
^ Defective TPS, open or short.
^ Check VREF for correct output.
^ Throttle plate not closing.
(B) - Troubleshooting the TPS
The following is a list of vehicle symptoms which have been associated with the TPS, but can also
be related to other vehicle components.
^ Check engine light
^ Stalls/quits
^ Hesitation/stumble
^ Fast idle
If an EEC error code has identified the TPS as suspect, perform PC/ED Manual pinpoint tests on
the TPS.
Testing the TPS in the vehicle electrical circuit:
The TPS is supplied with a 5.0 volt reference signal. As the TPS senses throttle plate rotation, the
output voltage changes to a value in the range of 0.4 volts to 4.8 volts depending on vehicle
application. A voltmeter, New Generation Star Tester (NGS) or Service Bay Diagnostics System
(SBDS) is the recommended test equipment for checking the TPS output.
The reason SBDS or NGS are the preferred tools is that they allow TPS voltage monitoring without
disturbing the connector. Many conditions can be caused by loose, dirty, oxidized, or poor
connections that may correct themselves for a short time if the connector is disturbed during
testing. This can mislead technicians into replacing a TPS that is okay, and the true cause, a bad
connection, may return at some future time.

Measuring the TPS voltage at idle is key when diagnosing a TPS since most of its operational life is
within 10 degrees of idle. Figures 2 and 3 include a guide to TPS output voltages for 1993-95
model year vehicles.

Figure 1 is a graph that shows how the TPS output voltage changes between engine idle and WOT
conditions.
The TPS voltage increases when the throttle is depressed. Idle is typically in the 0.4 volt to 1.2 volt
range. (Refer to idle voltage range chart.) As the TPS senses plate rotation toward Wide Open
Throttle (WOT), the voltage increases. WOT is typically in the 4.0 volt range. A voltmeter, NGS, or
SBDS is the recommended test equipment for checking the TPS output.
CAUTION:
MANY VOLTMETERS WILL AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE RANGES WHEN MEASURING TPS
OUTPUT FROM IDLE TO WOT. WHEN A VOLTMETER IS USED TO MEASURE TPS OUTPUT
FROM IDLE TO WOT, THE METER SCALES OR CHANGES RANGES AUTOMATICALLY.
THERE MAY BE AN ERRONEOUS METER DISPLAY UNTIL THE VOLTMETER HAS LOCKED
TO THE APPROPRIATE VOLTAGE READING. THE ERRONEOUS METER DISPLAY DOES
NOT REPRESENT A DEFECTIVE TPS.
NOTE:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE "RANGE LOCK' FEATURE ON MANY METERS BE SET FOR
CHECKING TPS VOLTAGE.

Use the 0.00 range to measure TPS voltage.
If your voltmeter does not change ranges automatically and the meter is set to millivolt scale when
reading full range voltages, the meter display may not indicate a valid value. This can be
misinterpreted as an open circuit or suspect TPS. Ensure the meter is set to volts for measuring full
range voltage levels.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a rotary potentiometer that determines throttle plate angle. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) determines operating modes from the TP signal. These are: Closed throttle, idle or deceleration
- Part throttle, cruise or moderate acceleration
- Wide open throttle, maximum acceleration, dechoke on crank and A/C cutout
- Throttle angle rate, acceleration pump type function
- Transmission shift schedule
CONSTRUCTION
The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body and is directly linked to the throttle shaft. The TP
sensor is composed of a wiper arm that moves along a curved resistor.
OPERATION
The TP sensor measures travel of the throttle shaft to produce a continuously variable output signal
proportional to the throttle plate position.
Throttle Position Sensor Schematic
The potentiometer functions as a voltage divider. A 5.0 volt reference signal is applied to one end
(VREF) of a curved resistance material, with the other end grounded along the SIG RTN circuit.
The TP sensor output signal is taken off a wiper arm (mechanically linked to the throttle shaft) that
travels along the entire length of the curved resistor
At closed throttle the TP wiper arm is nearer the ground side of the resistor resulting in a lower
output, 0.6 volts at 0% throttle angle.
At wide open throttle the TP wiper arm is nearer the reference voltage side of the resistor resulting
in a higher output, 4.5 volts at 85% throttle angle.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 23/121 - TP sensor output is out of the self-test range.
DTC 63/122 - TP sensor output is below the minimum self-test value.
DTC 53/123 - TP sensor output is above the maximum self-test value.
DTC 124 - TP sensor output is higher than expected.
DTC 125 - TP sensor output is lower than expected.
Note: DTC 124, 125 were intended to detect in-range failures of the TP sensor. The PCM
compares information from the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, TP sensor, and fuel injection pulse
width. If any one value appears to be out of line with the other two an in-range trouble code will be
set.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch gives an indication of transmission load to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). This information is required for adjusting fuel/air ratio and idle speed.
OPERATION
When the transmission is in gear the PNP switch is normally open. This results in a high voltage on
the PNP output pin 30. When the transmission is shifted into neutral or park the PNP switch is
closed and ground is applied to PNP output pin 30.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
PURPOSE
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) signal is used by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to
determine vehicle speed.
OPERATION
The VSS produces AC signals proportional to vehicle speed. This signal is sent to the PCM and is
converted into a vehicle speed value, stored in RAM memory. The PCM utilizes this value to aid in
controlling torque converter lock-up, coolant fan control, vehicle speed control, air/fuel ratio and
ignition timing.
Vehicle Speed Sensor Schematic
CONSTRUCTION
The VSS is a variable reluctance sensor that generates a sine wave type waveform with a
frequency that is proportional to the speed of the vehicle.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

ISSUE This TSB article is a diagnostic procedure to address vehicles that exhibit lean driveability
symptoms and may or may not have any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored in memory.
ACTION Follow the diagnostic procedures described in the following Service Tip. The revised
diagnostic procedure is a more accurate means of diagnosing the symptoms.
SERVICE TIP
MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) DISCUSSION
MAF sensors can get contaminated from a variety of sources: dirt, oil, silicon, spider webs, potting
compound from the sensor itself, etc. When a MAF sensor gets contaminated, it skews the transfer
function such that the sensor over-estimates air flow at idle (causes the fuel system to go rich) and
under-estimates air flow at high air flows (causes fuel system to go lean). This means Long Term
Fuel Trims will learn lean (negative) corrections at idle and learn rich (positive) corrections at higher
air flows.
If vehicle is driven at Wide Open Throttle (WOT) or high loads, the fuel system normally goes open
loop rich to provide maximum power. If the MAF sensor is contaminated, the fuel system will
actually be lean because of under-estimated air flow. During open loop fuel operation, the vehicle
applies Long Term Fuel Trim corrections that have been learned during closed loop operation.
These corrections are often lean corrections learned at lower air flows. This combination of
under-estimated air flow and lean fuel trim corrections can result in spark knock/detonation and
lack of power concerns at WOT and high loads.
One of the indicators for diagnosing this condition is barometric pressure. Barometric pressure
(BARO) is inferred by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software at part throttle and WOT
(there is no actual BARO sensor on MAF-equipped vehicles, except for the 3.8L Supercharged
engine). At high air flows, a contaminated MAF sensor will under-estimate air flow coming into the
engine, hence the PCM infers that the vehicle is operating at a higher altitude. The BARO reading
is stored in Keep Alive Memory (KAM) after it is updated. Other indicators are Long Term Fuel Trim
and MAF

PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION DISPLAY (PID) IS USED FOR THIS DIAGNOSTIC
PROCEDURE. ALL OBDII APPLICATIONS HAVE THIS PID AVAILABLE. THERE ARE SOME
OBDI VEHICLES THAT DO NOT HAVE THE BARO PID, FOR THESE VEHICLES OMIT THE
BARO CHECK AND REFER ONLY TO STEPS 2, 3, AND 4 IN THE DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE.

1. Look at the BARO PID. Refer to the Barometric Pressure Reference Chart in this article. At sea
level, BARO should read about 159 Hz (29.91 in. Hg). As a reference, Denver, Colorado at 1524
meters (5000 ft.) altitude should be about 144 Hz (24.88 in.Hg). Normal learned BARO variability is
up to +/- 6 Hz (+/- 2 in. Hg.). If BARO indicates a higher altitude than you are not at (7 or more Hz
lower than expected), you may have MAF contamination. If available, Service Bay Diagnostic
System (SBDS) has a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor that can be used as a barometric
pressure reference. Use "MAP/BARO" test under "Powertrain," "Testers and Meters." Ignore the
hookup screen. Connect GP2 to the reference MAP on the following screen.
NOTE
REMEMBER THAT MOST WEATHER SERVICES REPORT A LOCAL BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED TO SEA LEVEL. THE BARO PID, ON THE OTHER
HAND, REPORTS THE ACTUAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE FOR THE ALTITUDE THE
VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED IN. LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS (HIGH AND LOW
PRESSURE AREAS) WILL CHANGE THE LOCAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BY SEVERAL
INCHES OF MERCURY (+/- 3 Hz, +/- 1 in. Hg.).
NOTE
BARO IS UPDATED ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGH THROTTLE OPENINGS.
THEREFORE, A VEHICLE WHICH IS DRIVEN DOWN FROM A HIGHER ALTITUDE MAY NOT
HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE BARO VALUE IN KAM. IF YOU ARE NOT
CONFIDENT THAT BARO HAS BEEN UPDATED, PERFORM THREE OR FOUR HEAVY,
SUSTAINED ACCELERATIONS AT GREATER THAN HALF-THROTTLE TO ALLOW BARO TO
UPDATE.
2. On a fully warmed up engine, look at Long Term Fuel Trim at idle, in Neutral, A/C off, (LONGFT1
and/or LONGFT2 PIDs). If it is more negative than -12%, the fuel system has learned lean
corrections which may be due to the MAF sensor over-estimating air flow at idle. Note that both
Banks 1 and 2 will exhibit negative corrections for 2-bank system. If only one bank of a 2-bank
system has negative corrections, the MAF sensor is probably not contaminated.
3. On a fully warmed up engine, look at MAF voltage at idle, in Neutral, A/C off (MAF V PID). If it's
30% greater than the nominal MAF V voltage listed in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis
(PC/ED) Diagnostic Value Reference Charts for your vehicle, or greater than 1.1 volts as a rough
guide, the MAF sensor is over-estimating air flow at idle.
4. If at least tow of the previous three steps are true, proceed to disconnect the MAF sensor
connector. This puts the vehicle into Failure Mode and Effects Management (FMEM). In FMEM
mode, air flow is inferred by using rpm and throttle position instead of reading the MAF sensor. (In
addition, the BARO value is reset to a base/unlearned value.) If the lean driveability symptoms go
away, the MAF sensor is probably contaminated and should be replaced. If the lean driveability
symptoms do not go away, go to the PC/ED Service Manual for the appropriate diagnostics.
NOTE
DUE TO INCREASINGLY STRINGENT EMISSION/OBDII REQUIREMENTS, IT IS POSSIBLE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH MAF SENSOR CONTAMINATION TO SET FUEL SYSTEM DTCs
AND ILLUMINATE THE MIL WITH NO DRIVEABILITY CONCERNS. DISCONNECTING THE MAF
ON THESE VEHICLES WILL, THEREFORE, PRODUCE NO IMPROVEMENTS IN
DRIVEABILITY. IN THESE CASES, IF THE BARO, LONGFT1, LONGFT2, AND MAF V PIDs
INDICATE THAT THE MAF IS CONTAMINATED, PROCEED TO REPLACE THE MAF SENSOR.
After replacing the MAF sensor, disconnect the vehicle battery (5 minutes, minimum to reset KAM,

ISSUE This TSB article is a diagnostic procedure to address vehicles that exhibit lean driveability
symptoms and may or may not have any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored in memory.
ACTION Follow the diagnostic procedures described in the following Service Tip. The revised
diagnostic procedure is a more accurate means of diagnosing the symptoms.
SERVICE TIP
MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) DISCUSSION
MAF sensors can get contaminated from a variety of sources: dirt, oil, silicon, spider webs, potting
compound from the sensor itself, etc. When a MAF sensor gets contaminated, it skews the transfer
function such that the sensor over-estimates air flow at idle (causes the fuel system to go rich) and
under-estimates air flow at high air flows (causes fuel system to go lean). This means Long Term
Fuel Trims will learn lean (negative) corrections at idle and learn rich (positive) corrections at higher
air flows.
If vehicle is driven at Wide Open Throttle (WOT) or high loads, the fuel system normally goes open
loop rich to provide maximum power. If the MAF sensor is contaminated, the fuel system will
actually be lean because of under-estimated air flow. During open loop fuel operation, the vehicle
applies Long Term Fuel Trim corrections that have been learned during closed loop operation.
These corrections are often lean corrections learned at lower air flows. This combination of
under-estimated air flow and lean fuel trim corrections can result in spark knock/detonation and
lack of power concerns at WOT and high loads.
One of the indicators for diagnosing this condition is barometric pressure. Barometric pressure
(BARO) is inferred by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software at part throttle and WOT
(there is no actual BARO sensor on MAF-equipped vehicles, except for the 3.8L Supercharged
engine). At high air flows, a contaminated MAF sensor will under-estimate air flow coming into the
engine, hence the PCM infers that the vehicle is operating at a higher altitude. The BARO reading
is stored in Keep Alive Memory (KAM) after it is updated. Other indicators are Long Term Fuel Trim
and MAF

NOTE:
DO NOT DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. IT WILL ERASE KEEP ALIVE MEMORY AND RESET
LONG TERM FUEL TRIM AND BARO TO THEIR STARTING/BASE VALUES. THE BARO
PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION DISPLAY (PID) IS USED FOR THIS DIAGNOSTIC
PROCEDURE. ALL OBDII APPLICATIONS HAVE THIS PID AVAILABLE. THERE ARE SOME
OBDI VEHICLES THAT DO NOT HAVE THE BARO PID, FOR THESE VEHICLES OMIT THE
BARO CHECK AND REFER ONLY TO STEPS 2, 3, AND 4 IN THE DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE.

1. Look at the BARO PID. Refer to the Barometric Pressure Reference Chart in this article. At sea
level, BARO should read about 159 Hz (29.91 in. Hg). As a reference, Denver, Colorado at 1524
meters (5000 ft.) altitude should be about 144 Hz (24.88 in.Hg). Normal learned BARO variability is
up to +/- 6 Hz (+/- 2 in. Hg.). If BARO indicates a higher altitude than you are not at (7 or more Hz
lower than expected), you may have MAF contamination. If available, Service Bay Diagnostic
System (SBDS) has a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor that can be used as a barometric
pressure reference. Use "MAP/BARO" test under "Powertrain," "Testers and Meters." Ignore the
hookup screen. Connect GP2 to the reference MAP on the following screen.
NOTE
REMEMBER THAT MOST WEATHER SERVICES REPORT A LOCAL BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED TO SEA LEVEL. THE BARO PID, ON THE OTHER
HAND, REPORTS THE ACTUAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE FOR THE ALTITUDE THE
VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED IN. LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS (HIGH AND LOW
PRESSURE AREAS) WILL CHANGE THE LOCAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BY SEVERAL
INCHES OF MERCURY (+/- 3 Hz, +/- 1 in. Hg.).
NOTE
BARO IS UPDATED ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGH THROTTLE OPENINGS.
THEREFORE, A VEHICLE WHICH IS DRIVEN DOWN FROM A HIGHER ALTITUDE MAY NOT
HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE BARO VALUE IN KAM. IF YOU ARE NOT
CONFIDENT THAT BARO HAS BEEN UPDATED, PERFORM THREE OR FOUR HEAVY,
SUSTAINED ACCELERATIONS AT GREATER THAN HALF-THROTTLE TO ALLOW BARO TO
UPDATE.
2. On a fully warmed up engine, look at Long Term Fuel Trim at idle, in Neutral, A/C off, (LONGFT1
and/or LONGFT2 PIDs). If it is more negative than -12%, the fuel system has learned lean
corrections which may be due to the MAF sensor over-estimating air flow at idle. Note that both
Banks 1 and 2 will exhibit negative corrections for 2-bank system. If only one bank of a 2-bank
system has negative corrections, the MAF sensor is probably not contaminated.
3. On a fully warmed up engine, look at MAF voltage at idle, in Neutral, A/C off (MAF V PID). If it's
30% greater than the nominal MAF V voltage listed in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis
(PC/ED) Diagnostic Value Reference Charts for your vehicle, or greater than 1.1 volts as a rough
guide, the MAF sensor is over-estimating air flow at idle.
4. If at least tow of the previous three steps are true, proceed to disconnect the MAF sensor
connector. This puts the vehicle into Failure Mode and Effects Management (FMEM). In FMEM
mode, air flow is inferred by using rpm and throttle position instead of reading the MAF sensor. (In
addition, the BARO value is reset to a base/unlearned value.) If the lean driveability symptoms go
away, the MAF sensor is probably contaminated and should be replaced. If the lean driveability
symptoms do not go away, go to the PC/ED Service Manual for the appropriate diagnostics.
NOTE
DUE TO INCREASINGLY STRINGENT EMISSION/OBDII REQUIREMENTS, IT IS POSSIBLE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH MAF SENSOR CONTAMINATION TO SET FUEL SYSTEM DTCs
AND ILLUMINATE THE MIL WITH NO DRIVEABILITY CONCERNS. DISCONNECTING THE MAF
ON THESE VEHICLES WILL, THEREFORE, PRODUCE NO IMPROVEMENTS IN
DRIVEABILITY. IN THESE CASES, IF THE BARO, LONGFT1, LONGFT2, AND MAF V PIDs
INDICATE THAT THE MAF IS CONTAMINATED, PROCEED TO REPLACE THE MAF SENSOR.
After replacing the MAF sensor, disconnect the vehicle battery (5 minutes, minimum to reset KAM,
or on newer vehicles, use the "KAM Reset" feature on the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester and
verify that the lean driveability symptoms are gone.

Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow Sensor
PURPOSE
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor measures the total volume and mass of air flowing into the
engine. This value is one of the major factors used by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in
determining the fuel injection base pulse width and ignition timing advance.
CONSTRUCTION
The MAF sensor is located directly in the air flow path between the air cleaner housing and the
throttle body. The sensor is designed and located such that all air entering the intake manifold must
flow through it. Located in the MAF sensor directly in the airstream are two platinum wires, a hot
wire heated by electrical current and a cold reference wire. The MAF sensor uses the air flow
across these wires to calculate its output.
OPERATION
The MAF sensor operates on the principle that if the hot wire is maintained at a constant
temperature above ambient, the thermal loss exhibited by the hot wire is proportional to the total
mass of air flowing across it.
The sensor maintains the hot wire exactly 200°C (392°F) hotter than the reference (cold) wire. The
MAF sensor then measures the amount of electrical current required to maintain this temperature
difference and converts this value to an analog DC voltage. This output varies directly with the
mass air flow rate and ranges from 0.5 to 4.5 volts.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 129 - Insufficient MAF sensor output change during the dynamic response (snap throttle) test.
DTC 157 - MAF sensor output went below the minimum value of 0.4 volts (continuous memory
code).
DTC 158 - MAF sensor output went above the maximum value of 4.5 volts (continuous memory
code).
DTC 159 - MAF sensor output was measured out of range during a self-test, >0.7 volts during the
Key On Engine Off (KOEO) test and not between 0.2-1.5 volts during the Key On Engine Running
(KOER) test.
DTC 184 - MAF sensor output is higher than expected.
DTC 185 - MAF sensor output is lower than expected.
Note: DTC 184, 185 were intended to detect in-range failures of the MAF sensor. The PCM
compares information from the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, throttle position sensor, and fuel
injection pulse width. If any one value appears to be out of line with the other two an in-range
trouble code will be set.

Fuel Pump Inertia Switch: Description and Operation
Typical Inertia Fuel Shut-Off Switch
PURPOSE
The inertia switch is used to shut the fuel pump "OFF" in the event of a collision.
OPERATION
When a sharp impact occurs, the ball breaks loose from the magnet, rolls up a conical ramp and
strikes a target plate. This opens the electrical contacts of the switch and disrupts power to the
electric fuel pump. The engine will quit running within a few seconds after the fuel pump looses
power. The inertia switch must then be manually reset before the engine can be restarted.
CONSTRUCTION
The inertia switch consists of a steel ball held in place by a magnet.
WARNING: DO NOT reset the inertia switch button if you see or smell fuel.

ISSUE: The following Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) TSB has been developed for service use.
This TSB includes the following topics:
^ Description And Background Of TPS
^ (A1) and (A2) - Diagnostic Trouble Codes (Service Tips)
^ (B) Troubleshooting The TPS
^ (C) TPS Application Charts
ACTION: If TPS diagnosis or repair is required, refer to the following procedures for service details.
Description
The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is a rotary potentiometer that provides a voltage signal to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that is linearly proportional to the throttle plate/shaft angular
position. The TP sensor has a three-blade electrical connector that is plated. The plating increases
the corrosion resistance on terminals and increases the connector durability. The TP sensor is
mounted on the throttle body and is non-adjustable. As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle
shaft, four (4) operating conditions are determined by the PCM from the TP sensor.
The four (4) vehicle operating conditions are:
^ Closed throttle (idle or deceleration)
^ Part throttle (cruise, moderate acceleration)
^ Wide open throttle (maximum acceleration, de-choke on crank and A/C shut-off)
^ Throttle angle rate.
Background
Recently, revisions have been made to the TPS, which have improved reliability and durability.

A key difference between EEC-IV, OBD I and EEC-V, OBD II is the monitors. EEC-IV monitors are
designed to identify system and component issues. EEC-V monitors are designed to measure the
ability of systems and components to maintain low emission levels.
To minimize the replacement of good components, be advised that the following non-EEC areas
may be the issue:
^ Excessive blow-by
^ PCV malfunction
^ Vacuum leaks
^ Fuel pressure
^ Throttle sticking or linkage binding.
(A2) - EEC-IV Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)
When a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 121, 124 or 125 are set in continuous memory, the
technician is directed to Pinpoint Test G of the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED)
Manual. Pinpoint Test G is named: In-Range MAF/TP/Fuel lnjector Pulse Width Test. The
description of the test is as follows:
^ EEC-IV DTC Code 121, 124, and 125 Description.
This In-Range Self-Test was designed to identify in-range concerns of the MAF sensor, TP sensor,
or the fuel delivery system. The PCM will use information from these three (3) areas based on
vehicle load to generate three (3) independent values. The three (3) independent values will be
continuously monitored by the PCM. If one (1) of the values differs significantly from the others
during normal vehicle operation, a Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be
stored.
EEC codes for the TPS are intended as a supplemental aid to diagnostics. They do not indicate the
root cause since more than one (1) component can set the same code.
For example: EEC-IV, OBD I Codes 122 and 123 and EEC-V, OBD II Codes P0122 and P0123 for
"TP circuit too low" or "TP circuit too high", limit the condition to the TP circuit, connector, or vehicle
harness.
EEC-IV, OBD I Codes: 121, "TP inconsistent with air meter", 124, "TP higher than expected", 125,
"TP lower than expected" and OBD II Code P1121, "TP inconsistent with MAF sensor" are a result
of a comparison of the TP signal to a given airflow. Any un-metered air (downstream of MAF) that
enters the engine, either due to a mechanical situation or electrical sensor condition, may result in
these codes. PC/ED Pinpoint Tests will guide you to the root cause and avoid customer repeat
repairs.
EEC-IV (OBD I) Codes 124 and 125 are set in memory as follows: Codes 124-125 are a
comparison of a given airflow to the TPS voltage (throttle plate position).
Code 124: The PCM has indicated that the airflow rate is too low for the position of the throttle plate
angle.
Causes for EEC-IV, OBD I Code 124:
Air bypass solenoid flow low/blocked (MAF may indicate low during the event).
^ Throttle body obstructed.
^ EGR flow low.
^ TPS circuit concern when accompanied by Codes 122 or 123.
^ BP sensor low.
Code 125: The PCM has indicated that the airflow rate is too high for the position of the throttle
plate.
Causes of EEC-IV, OBD I Code 125:
Air bypass solenoid high/stuck open (MAF may indicate high during this event).
^ EGR flow high.
^ TPS circuit concern when accompanied by Codes 122 or 123.
^ BP sensor high.
These codes are designed to set while in the part throttle drive mode, and often the MIL light
flashes on and off until the condition is gone. In some cases, it is difficult to repeat the codes in a
test drive since the PCM requires a long drive time to calculate the error in the system. At other
times, it may be difficult to repeat because the condition that set the code may be intermittent.
Pinpoint Test G of the PC/ED Manual will guide you to the root cause.
Causes of EEC Codes 122: TPS sensor circuit voltage above maximum.
Causes of EEC codes 123: TPS sensor circuit voltage below minimum.

^ Harness damage.
^ Connector damage or water in connector.
^ Defective TPS, open or short.
^ Check VREF for correct output.
^ Throttle plate not closing.
(B) - Troubleshooting the TPS
The following is a list of vehicle symptoms which have been associated with the TPS, but can also
be related to other vehicle components.
^ Check engine light
^ Stalls/quits
^ Hesitation/stumble
^ Fast idle
If an EEC error code has identified the TPS as suspect, perform PC/ED Manual pinpoint tests on
the TPS.
Testing the TPS in the vehicle electrical circuit:
The TPS is supplied with a 5.0 volt reference signal. As the TPS senses throttle plate rotation, the
output voltage changes to a value in the range of 0.4 volts to 4.8 volts depending on vehicle
application. A voltmeter, New Generation Star Tester (NGS) or Service Bay Diagnostics System
(SBDS) is the recommended test equipment for checking the TPS output.
The reason SBDS or NGS are the preferred tools is that they allow TPS voltage monitoring without
disturbing the connector. Many conditions can be caused by loose, dirty, oxidized, or poor
connections that may correct themselves for a short time if the connector is disturbed during
testing. This can mislead technicians into replacing a TPS that is okay, and the true cause, a bad
connection, may return at some future time.

Measuring the TPS voltage at idle is key when diagnosing a TPS since most of its operational life is
within 10 degrees of idle. Figures 2 and 3 include a guide to TPS output voltages for 1993-95
model year vehicles.

Figure 1 is a graph that shows how the TPS output voltage changes between engine idle and WOT
conditions.
The TPS voltage increases when the throttle is depressed. Idle is typically in the 0.4 volt to 1.2 volt
range. (Refer to idle voltage range chart.) As the TPS senses plate rotation toward Wide Open
Throttle (WOT), the voltage increases. WOT is typically in the 4.0 volt range. A voltmeter, NGS, or
SBDS is the recommended test equipment for checking the TPS output.
CAUTION:
MANY VOLTMETERS WILL AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE RANGES WHEN MEASURING TPS
OUTPUT FROM IDLE TO WOT. WHEN A VOLTMETER IS USED TO MEASURE TPS OUTPUT
FROM IDLE TO WOT, THE METER SCALES OR CHANGES RANGES AUTOMATICALLY.
THERE MAY BE AN ERRONEOUS METER DISPLAY UNTIL THE VOLTMETER HAS LOCKED
TO THE APPROPRIATE VOLTAGE READING. THE ERRONEOUS METER DISPLAY DOES
NOT REPRESENT A DEFECTIVE TPS.
NOTE:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE "RANGE LOCK' FEATURE ON MANY METERS BE SET FOR
CHECKING TPS VOLTAGE.

Use the 0.00 range to measure TPS voltage.
If your voltmeter does not change ranges automatically and the meter is set to millivolt scale when
reading full range voltages, the meter display may not indicate a valid value. This can be
misinterpreted as an open circuit or suspect TPS. Ensure the meter is set to volts for measuring full
range voltage levels.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a rotary potentiometer that determines throttle plate angle. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) determines operating modes from the TP signal. These are: Closed throttle, idle or deceleration
- Part throttle, cruise or moderate acceleration
- Wide open throttle, maximum acceleration, dechoke on crank and A/C cutout
- Throttle angle rate, acceleration pump type function
- Transmission shift schedule
CONSTRUCTION
The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body and is directly linked to the throttle shaft. The TP
sensor is composed of a wiper arm that moves along a curved resistor.
OPERATION
The TP sensor measures travel of the throttle shaft to produce a continuously variable output signal
proportional to the throttle plate position.
Throttle Position Sensor Schematic
The potentiometer functions as a voltage divider. A 5.0 volt reference signal is applied to one end
(VREF) of a curved resistance material, with the other end grounded along the SIG RTN circuit.
The TP sensor output signal is taken off a wiper arm (mechanically linked to the throttle shaft) that
travels along the entire length of the curved resistor
At closed throttle the TP wiper arm is nearer the ground side of the resistor resulting in a lower
output, 0.6 volts at 0% throttle angle.
At wide open throttle the TP wiper arm is nearer the reference voltage side of the resistor resulting
in a higher output, 4.5 volts at 85% throttle angle.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 23/121 - TP sensor output is out of the self-test range.
DTC 63/122 - TP sensor output is below the minimum self-test value.
DTC 53/123 - TP sensor output is above the maximum self-test value.
DTC 124 - TP sensor output is higher than expected.
DTC 125 - TP sensor output is lower than expected.
Note: DTC 124, 125 were intended to detect in-range failures of the TP sensor. The PCM
compares information from the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, TP sensor, and fuel injection pulse
width. If any one value appears to be out of line with the other two an in-range trouble code will be
set.

PURPOSE
In a Sequential Electronic Fuel Injection (SEFI) system each individual fuel injector is energized
just prior to the opening of its corresponding intake valve. The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is
used to identify when number 1 cylinder is on compression stroke and to generate the Cylinder
Identification (CID) signal. This CID signal allows the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to
sequence the fuel injectors in the correct order.
CONSTRUCTION
CMP is a single hall effect magnetic switch, activated by a single vane which is driven by the
camshaft.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor provides base timing and engine speed information to the
Ignition Control Module (ICM). The ICM supplies this information to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) as the Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) signal. The PCM uses this information for fuel injector
timing and calculating ignition timing advance and dwell.
CONSTRUCTION
The CKP is a variable reluctance type sensor that monitors the movement of a 35 tooth wheel
located behind the crankshaft pulley.
EI Ignition System Oscilloscope Waveform
OPERATION
As the teeth on the crankshaft pass by the CKP a voltage is induced in the sensor. The CKP output
is a spiked sine wave that is proportional to crankshaft speed and position. The missing tooth (36
minus 1) design allows the ICM to synchronize the signal and select the correct coil to fire.

Hall Effect Sensor: Description and Operation
Profile Ignition Pickup
The Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) sensor is a Hall-effect type switch located in the distributor. It
sends the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) information on engine speed and crankshaft position.
The Hall device operates by the manipulation of magnetic fields. When a rotor vane ENTERS the
space between the two halves of the stator pick-up, the magnetic field is altered, turning ON the
signal to the PCM. When the vane LEAVES the stator gap, the magnetic field returns to normal,
and the signal to the PCM is turned OFF.

ISSUE: Some vehicles may need re-work of the 14401 wiring harness. While attaching the harness
connector to the ignition switch, a non-mating condition may occur. This is due to a design revision
(larger tower on switch) of the ignition switch, and not having the proper spacer to clear the switch
tower.
ACTION: While re-working any 14401 harness (on affected vehicles built after 5/20/94), determine
if the correct spacer (F4TB-14A468-CA) is attached to the ignition switch connector. The correct
spacer will allow the "old" or "new" 14A464 connector to mate with the ignition switch assemblies
F2DC-11572-AA or F4DC-11572-AA. Refer to the following service procedures.

ISSUE: Some vehicles may need re-work of the 14401 wiring harness. While attaching the harness
connector to the ignition switch, a non-mating condition may occur. This is due to a design revision
(larger tower on switch) of the ignition switch, and not having the proper spacer to clear the switch
tower.
ACTION: While re-working any 14401 harness (on affected vehicles built after 5/20/94), determine
if the correct spacer (F4TB-14A468-CA) is attached to the ignition switch connector. The correct
spacer will allow the "old" or "new" 14A464 connector to mate with the ignition switch assemblies
F2DC-11572-AA or F4DC-11572-AA. Refer to the following service procedures.

Idle Speed: Adjustments
NOTE: Curb and fast idle speeds are controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and Idle
Air Control (IAC) valve assembly. The IAC valve and idle speed is not adjustable. A large increase
or decrease in closed plate airflow from the calibrated level will not allow effective idle speed
control.
Throttle Body Assembly
Throttle bodies with sludge tolerant design are identified with a yellow/black decal. The throttle
body must not be cleaned inside the bore, as this cleaning will impair the sensitive coating. Sludge
accumulation will not affect the idle air flow. The cleaning procedure for the IAC valve still applies.
RPM LIMIT CHECK PROCEDURE - Self-Test constant tone
STAR tester or equivalent scanner required
1. Activate engine running Self-Test.
2. After diagnostic trouble code 11 or 111 has been displayed, unlatch and within 4 seconds latch
the Self-Test Input (STI) button.
3. A single pulse code indicates the entry mode, then observe the Self-Test Output (STO) of the
STAR tester.
- A constant tone, solid light or "STO LO" readout indicates base idle rpm is within range.
- Beeping tone, flashing light, or STO LO readout at 8.0 Hz indicates Throttle Position (TP) is out of
range due to over adjustment.
- Beeping tone, flashing light, or STO LO readout at 4.0 Hz indicates base idle rpm is too fast.
- Beeping tone, flashing light, or STO LO readout at 1.0 Hz indicates base idle is too slow.
4. To exit test, unlatch STI button, then wait 4 seconds for reinitialization (after 10 minutes it will exit
by itself).
5. If the idle rpm (engine warm, in Neutral, A/C "Off") is not within limits, refer to Testing and
Inspection / Procedures / Air Induction Diagnosis
for other possible causes of idle problem. See: Fuel Delivery and Air Induction/Testing and
Inspection/Pinpoint Tests/AIS - Air Induction Diagnosis

Spout/SAW Connector
DESCRIPTION
The Spark Angle Word (SAW),or Spark Output (SPOUT) connector is used to open and close the
circuit between the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)and the Ignition Control Module (ICM) for
checking base timing.
OPERATION
When the SPOUT or SAW connector is inserted in the harness connector, the ICM operates
according to PCM timing data (computed timing). When the SPOUT or SAW connector is removed
from the harness connector, the ICM operates on the Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) signal only (base
timing).

Ignition Timing Connector: Description and Operation Octane Adjustment Switch Operation
In-line Connector With Shorting Bar
PURPOSE The octane adjustment switch is used to retard the ignition timing approximately three
degrees to reduce detonation due to use of lower grade fuels.
OPERATION When the switch jumper is INSTALLED, the computed timing is normal. With the
jumper REMOVED, the timing computed is retarded approximately three degrees. This is done to
allow for optimum spark advance for effective combustion of the air/fuel mixture.

operation have been met: The engine must be running.
- The engine must not be overheating.
- The engine must not be operating at wide open throttle.
If these conditions are met the PCM will increase idle speed and then energize the A/C relay.
OPERATION
With the A/C demand switch closed and the A/C clutch cyclic pressure switch shut, battery voltage
will be placed on circuit ACCS (10), informing the PCM of an A/C request. A/C clutch operation will
not occur until the PCM grounds circuit WAC (54).
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 539 - A/C request during self test procedure.
DTC 559 - A/C ON circuit failure.

ISSUE This TSB article is a diagnostic procedure to address vehicles that exhibit lean driveability
symptoms and may or may not have any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored in memory.
ACTION Follow the diagnostic procedures described in the following Service Tip. The revised
diagnostic procedure is a more accurate means of diagnosing the symptoms.
SERVICE TIP
MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) DISCUSSION
MAF sensors can get contaminated from a variety of sources: dirt, oil, silicon, spider webs, potting
compound from the sensor itself, etc. When a MAF sensor gets contaminated, it skews the transfer
function such that the sensor over-estimates air flow at idle (causes the fuel system to go rich) and
under-estimates air flow at high air flows (causes fuel system to go lean). This means Long Term
Fuel Trims will learn lean (negative) corrections at idle and learn rich (positive) corrections at higher
air flows.
If vehicle is driven at Wide Open Throttle (WOT) or high loads, the fuel system normally goes open
loop rich to provide maximum power. If the MAF sensor is contaminated, the fuel system will
actually be lean because of under-estimated air flow. During open loop fuel operation, the vehicle
applies Long Term Fuel Trim corrections that have been learned during closed loop operation.
These corrections are often lean corrections learned at lower air flows. This combination of
under-estimated air flow and lean fuel trim corrections can result in spark knock/detonation and
lack of power concerns at WOT and high loads.
One of the indicators for diagnosing this condition is barometric pressure. Barometric pressure
(BARO) is inferred by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software at part throttle and WOT
(there is no actual BARO sensor on MAF-equipped vehicles, except for the 3.8L Supercharged
engine). At high air flows, a contaminated MAF sensor will under-estimate air flow coming into the
engine, hence the PCM infers that the vehicle is operating at a higher altitude. The BARO reading
is stored in Keep Alive Memory (KAM) after it is updated. Other indicators are Long Term Fuel Trim
and MAF

1. Look at the BARO PID. Refer to the Barometric Pressure Reference Chart in this article. At sea
level, BARO should read about 159 Hz (29.91 in. Hg). As a reference, Denver, Colorado at 1524
meters (5000 ft.) altitude should be about 144 Hz (24.88 in.Hg). Normal learned BARO variability is
up to +/- 6 Hz (+/- 2 in. Hg.). If BARO indicates a higher altitude than you are not at (7 or more Hz
lower than expected), you may have MAF contamination. If available, Service Bay Diagnostic
System (SBDS) has a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor that can be used as a barometric
pressure reference. Use "MAP/BARO" test under "Powertrain," "Testers and Meters." Ignore the
hookup screen. Connect GP2 to the reference MAP on the following screen.
NOTE
REMEMBER THAT MOST WEATHER SERVICES REPORT A LOCAL BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED TO SEA LEVEL. THE BARO PID, ON THE OTHER
HAND, REPORTS THE ACTUAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE FOR THE ALTITUDE THE
VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED IN. LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS (HIGH AND LOW
PRESSURE AREAS) WILL CHANGE THE LOCAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BY SEVERAL
INCHES OF MERCURY (+/- 3 Hz, +/- 1 in. Hg.).
NOTE
BARO IS UPDATED ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGH THROTTLE OPENINGS.
THEREFORE, A VEHICLE WHICH IS DRIVEN DOWN FROM A HIGHER ALTITUDE MAY NOT
HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE BARO VALUE IN KAM. IF YOU ARE NOT
CONFIDENT THAT BARO HAS BEEN UPDATED, PERFORM THREE OR FOUR HEAVY,
SUSTAINED ACCELERATIONS AT GREATER THAN HALF-THROTTLE TO ALLOW BARO TO
UPDATE.
2. On a fully warmed up engine, look at Long Term Fuel Trim at idle, in Neutral, A/C off, (LONGFT1
and/or LONGFT2 PIDs). If it is more negative than -12%, the fuel system has learned lean
corrections which may be due to the MAF sensor over-estimating air flow at idle. Note that both
Banks 1 and 2 will exhibit negative corrections for 2-bank system. If only one bank of a 2-bank
system has negative corrections, the MAF sensor is probably not contaminated.
3. On a fully warmed up engine, look at MAF voltage at idle, in Neutral, A/C off (MAF V PID). If it's
30% greater than the nominal MAF V voltage listed in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis
(PC/ED) Diagnostic Value Reference Charts for your vehicle, or greater than 1.1 volts as a rough
guide, the MAF sensor is over-estimating air flow at idle.
4. If at least tow of the previous three steps are true, proceed to disconnect the MAF sensor
connector. This puts the vehicle into Failure Mode and Effects Management (FMEM). In FMEM
mode, air flow is inferred by using rpm and throttle position instead of reading the MAF sensor. (In
addition, the BARO value is reset to a base/unlearned value.) If the lean driveability symptoms go
away, the MAF sensor is probably contaminated and should be replaced. If the lean driveability
symptoms do not go away, go to the PC/ED Service Manual for the appropriate diagnostics.
NOTE
DUE TO INCREASINGLY STRINGENT EMISSION/OBDII REQUIREMENTS, IT IS POSSIBLE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH MAF SENSOR CONTAMINATION TO SET FUEL SYSTEM DTCs
AND ILLUMINATE THE MIL WITH NO DRIVEABILITY CONCERNS. DISCONNECTING THE MAF
ON THESE VEHICLES WILL, THEREFORE, PRODUCE NO IMPROVEMENTS IN
DRIVEABILITY. IN THESE CASES, IF THE BARO, LONGFT1, LONGFT2, AND MAF V PIDs
INDICATE THAT THE MAF IS CONTAMINATED, PROCEED TO REPLACE THE MAF SENSOR.
After replacing the MAF sensor, disconnect the vehicle battery (5 minutes, minimum to reset KAM,
or on newer vehicles, use the "KAM Reset" feature on the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester and
verify that the lean driveability symptoms are gone.

Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow Sensor
PURPOSE
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor measures the total volume and mass of air flowing into the
engine. This value is one of the major factors used by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in
determining the fuel injection base pulse width and ignition timing advance.
CONSTRUCTION
The MAF sensor is located directly in the air flow path between the air cleaner housing and the
throttle body. The sensor is designed and located such that all air entering the intake manifold must
flow through it. Located in the MAF sensor directly in the airstream are two platinum wires, a hot
wire heated by electrical current and a cold reference wire. The MAF sensor uses the air flow
across these wires to calculate its output.
OPERATION
The MAF sensor operates on the principle that if the hot wire is maintained at a constant
temperature above ambient, the thermal loss exhibited by the hot wire is proportional to the total
mass of air flowing across it.
The sensor maintains the hot wire exactly 200°C (392°F) hotter than the reference (cold) wire. The
MAF sensor then measures the amount of electrical current required to maintain this temperature
difference and converts this value to an analog DC voltage. This output varies directly with the
mass air flow rate and ranges from 0.5 to 4.5 volts.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 129 - Insufficient MAF sensor output change during the dynamic response (snap throttle) test.
DTC 157 - MAF sensor output went below the minimum value of 0.4 volts (continuous memory
code).
DTC 158 - MAF sensor output went above the maximum value of 4.5 volts (continuous memory
code).
DTC 159 - MAF sensor output was measured out of range during a self-test, >0.7 volts during the
Key On Engine Off (KOEO) test and not between 0.2-1.5 volts during the Key On Engine Running
(KOER) test.
DTC 184 - MAF sensor output is higher than expected.
DTC 185 - MAF sensor output is lower than expected.
Note: DTC 184, 185 were intended to detect in-range failures of the MAF sensor. The PCM

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Intake Air Temperature Sensor
PURPOSE
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor measures the temperature of the incoming air flow. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses this information to adjust the fuel injection base pulse
width, EGR flow, and ignition timing.
CONSTRUCTION
The IAT is a two lead thermistor type sensor with a negative temperature coefficient and is located
in the intake air flow path.
Descriptive Schematic
OPERATION
The PCM applies a 5.0 volt reference voltage to the IAT signal lead while the signal return lead is
connected to a common sensor ground. As the temperature of the incoming air increases the
resistance of the IAT decreases and the voltage drop across the IAT decreases.
A decrease in air temperature will increase the resistance of the IAT and raise the voltage drop
across the sensor.
The normal operating range of the IAT is 3.50 volts (50°F) to 1.02 volts (158°F).
Note: Due to its negative temperature coefficient minor increases in resistance across the IAT
circuit harness and ground connections can result in temperature values that are much lower than
actual.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 64/112 - The IAT sensor output is less than the self-test minimum, 0.2 volts.
DTC 54/113 - The IAT sensor output is greater than the self-test maximum, 4.6 volts.
DTC 24/114 - The IAT sensor output is out of self-test range, 0.3-3.7 volts.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor provides base timing and engine speed information to the
Ignition Control Module (ICM). The ICM supplies this information to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) as the Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) signal. The PCM uses this information for fuel injector
timing and calculating ignition timing advance and dwell.
CONSTRUCTION
The CKP is a variable reluctance type sensor that monitors the movement of a 35 tooth wheel
located behind the crankshaft pulley.
EI Ignition System Oscilloscope Waveform
OPERATION
As the teeth on the crankshaft pass by the CKP a voltage is induced in the sensor. The CKP output
is a spiked sine wave that is proportional to crankshaft speed and position. The missing tooth (36
minus 1) design allows the ICM to synchronize the signal and select the correct coil to fire.

Powertrain Control Module: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the signals from various input sensors and
calculates the proper operating strategy for the engine operating conditions.
In addition to normal operating strategy the PCM calculates/learns an adaptive strategy that
compensates for normal wearing and aging of components.
The PCM also provides for self-diagnostic testing. When the ignition is turned on the PCM is
continuously checking its inputs and outputs for values out of specification. Any discrepancies are
recorded as diagnostic trouble codes.
The PCM also provides for operator initiated self-tests. These tests check for specific input values
and output states under defined conditions.
Note: Incorrect testing conditions and minor procedural deviations often result in false trouble
codes and inaccurate information. When initiating self-tests technicians should verify that all
required conditions are met.
OPERATION
The PCM continuously monitors input signals and compares these values to calibration information
stored in its memory.
The PCM's calibration assembly contains the necessary programming to fine-tune the PCM's
engine calibration commands to the vehicle's weight, axle ratio, and transmission application. The
calibration assembly is an integral part of the PCM and is not replaceable.
The PCM determines the correct operating strategy and makes the necessary corrections to its
output signals.

KEEP ALIVE MEMORY AND ADAPTIVE STRATEGY
The EEC-IV system constantly monitors and adjusts the PCM calibration to correct for normal wear
and aging of components. The PCM uses these calibration adjustments to shift fuel delivery
calculations and idle speed specifications to compensate for the aging of the vehicle.
When an Electronic Engine Controls (EEC) system component is replaced, the Keep Alive Memory
(KAM) should be cleared to erase the information stored by the processor from the original
component.
CLEARING KEEP ALIVE MEMORY
To clear the KAM, disconnect the battery negative terminal for five minutes or more (preferably 15
minutes).
ADAPTIVE STRATEGY RELEARN PROCEDURE
After repairs have been made and the KAM cleared drive the the vehicle for at least ten miles to
allow the PCM to relearn the values for optimum performance.
NOTE: During the ten mile relearn drive, the vehicle may exhibit some driveability symptoms.
These should be eliminated when the KAM has relearned the operating values.

Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Idle Air Control (IAC) solenoid allows the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to accurately
control engine idle speed under a variety of conditions. The IAC solenoid is driven by an output
signal from the PCM and allows intake airflow to bypass the throttle plates.
In addition to normal idle speed control the IAC solenoid also functions as a deceleration dashpot
and allows for idle speed changes during periods of increased engine load (A/C, electrical).
The IAC solenoid also plays an integral role in Adaptive Strategy correction. The PCM monitors the
engine condition and adjusts the IAC calibration to correct for wear and aging of components.
NOTE: Whenever an IAC component is replaced or cleaned it is recommended that the Keep Alive
Memory (KAM) be be cleared. The vehicle may exhibit idle concerns until new adaptive values are
learned.
CONSTRUCTION
A duty cycle driven solenoid is directly linked to a reverse seated pintle valve.
Hitachi Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve And Solenoid
Hitachi With Vent/Filter This type of IAC solenoid is not serviceable and cannot be cleaned.
Idle Air Control Solenoid
OPERATION
The IAC solenoid receives a 12 volt signal from circuit VPWR. The ground supply to the IAC
solenoid is controlled by the PCM. The PCM controls the amount of IAC operation by varying the
duty cycle of the ground signal.
The IAC solenoid is linked directly to a pintle valve which controls the amount of intake airflow
allowed to bypass the throttle plates.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 412 Indicates that during the Key On Engine Running (KOER) self-test, engine rpm could not
be controlled within the self-test limit band.
DTC 415 Indicates the IAC adaptive learning has reached the minimum learning limit (the valve is
reducing air flow as much as possible).
DTC 416 Indicates the IAC adaptive learning has reached the maximum learning limit (the valve is
admitting as much air flow as possible).
NOTE: Idle speed surging commonly results when the IAC solenoid reaches the limits of its
operation. The IAC solenoid cannot compensate for the required change in idle speed which
results in the engine surging between the upper and lower limits of the IAC system.

PCM Power Relay: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) power relay provides power to the PCM. The PCM power
relay also provides reverse battery protection for the PCM and related actuator assemblies.
CONSTRUCTION
The relay is a single pole double throw type. This relay does not have an internal diode and is used
with a separate stand alone diode.
OPERATION
The PCM power relay is energized in "RUN" or "START" through the ignition switch. When
energized, battery voltage (B+) flows through the relay. This voltage powers the PCM and its
outputs.
When the ignition switch is turned "OFF", the relay de-energizes, stopping B+ to the PCM.

ISSUE: Some vehicles may have a disconnect of the Ignition Control Module (ICM) connector or
moisture buildup within the connector. This can cause hard to start/no start, rough idle, or "check
engine light" illumination concerns. The improved gasket and connector retainer that are currently
used in production are now available for service of prior model distributorless ignition systems.
ACTION: Install new Connector Sleeve Retainer Clip and a current production seal (gasket). The
clip assembles in between the connector beams and the ICM which will prevent accidental
disconnects. The new seal is a "solid silicone" gasket that provides improved resistance to
moisture entry into the connector. Refer to the ICM Connector Harness Wire Service kit

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

Heated Oxygen (HO2S) Sensor: Description and Operation
Heated Oxygen Sensor
PURPOSE
The Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen Sensor(HO2S) detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust
system and produces a variable voltage according to the amount of oxygen present.
When operating in closed loop the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors this input and
correspondingly changes the duration of the fuel injection pulse width to achieve an air/fuel ratio of
14.7:1.
CONSTRUCTION
The sensor is a zirconium dioxide ceramic thimble with a platinum surface electrode. The sensor is
threaded into the exhaust manifold with a sampling tip extending into the exhaust stream.
Heated Oxygen Sensor Operation
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen (HO2S) Sensor
<--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information > Locations > Page 2782
OPERATION
The zirconium dioxide in the sensor is electrically sensitive to differences in the amount of oxygen
present between two sources. The outside of the sensor is vented to the atmosphere while the
inside is exposed to the exhaust stream. The differing amounts of oxygen present between the two
sources causes the sensor to generate a voltage.
A rich fuel mixture will result in a low level of oxygen present in the exhaust. This will produce a
larger difference in oxygen levels sensed by the HO2S which will result in a higher voltage being
produced.
A lean fuel mixture will result in a high level of oxygen present in the exhaust. This will produce a
smaller difference in oxygen levels sensed by the HO2S which will result in a lower voltage being
produced.
Normal operating range for the HO2S is 0.0 volts (lean condition) to 1.1 volts (rich condition).
The HO2S temperature must be above 600°F to operate properly. To minimize heat up time, a
heating element is incorporated into the sensor.
Heated Oxygen Sensor
The HO2S uses a 4 wire connection.
- HO2S wire is the sensor output.
- SIG RTN is the sensor ground.
- 12.0 volt power supply for the sensor heater, from the Ignition Run circuit.
- Ground wire for the sensor heater.

Powertrain Control Module: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the signals from various input sensors and
calculates the proper operating strategy for the engine operating conditions.
In addition to normal operating strategy the PCM calculates/learns an adaptive strategy that
compensates for normal wearing and aging of components.
The PCM also provides for self-diagnostic testing. When the ignition is turned on the PCM is
continuously checking its inputs and outputs for values out of specification. Any discrepancies are
recorded as diagnostic trouble codes.
The PCM also provides for operator initiated self-tests. These tests check for specific input values
and output states under defined conditions.
Note: Incorrect testing conditions and minor procedural deviations often result in false trouble
codes and inaccurate information. When initiating self-tests technicians should verify that all
required conditions are met.
OPERATION
The PCM continuously monitors input signals and compares these values to calibration information
stored in its memory.
The PCM's calibration assembly contains the necessary programming to fine-tune the PCM's
engine calibration commands to the vehicle's weight, axle ratio, and transmission application. The
calibration assembly is an integral part of the PCM and is not replaceable.
The PCM determines the correct operating strategy and makes the necessary corrections to its
output signals.

KEEP ALIVE MEMORY AND ADAPTIVE STRATEGY
The EEC-IV system constantly monitors and adjusts the PCM calibration to correct for normal wear
and aging of components. The PCM uses these calibration adjustments to shift fuel delivery
calculations and idle speed specifications to compensate for the aging of the vehicle.
When an Electronic Engine Controls (EEC) system component is replaced, the Keep Alive Memory
(KAM) should be cleared to erase the information stored by the processor from the original
component.
CLEARING KEEP ALIVE MEMORY
To clear the KAM, disconnect the battery negative terminal for five minutes or more (preferably 15
minutes).
ADAPTIVE STRATEGY RELEARN PROCEDURE
After repairs have been made and the KAM cleared drive the the vehicle for at least ten miles to
allow the PCM to relearn the values for optimum performance.
NOTE: During the ten mile relearn drive, the vehicle may exhibit some driveability symptoms.
These should be eliminated when the KAM has relearned the operating values.

PCM Power Relay: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) power relay provides power to the PCM. The PCM power
relay also provides reverse battery protection for the PCM and related actuator assemblies.
CONSTRUCTION
The relay is a single pole double throw type. This relay does not have an internal diode and is used
with a separate stand alone diode.
OPERATION
The PCM power relay is energized in "RUN" or "START" through the ignition switch. When
energized, battery voltage (B+) flows through the relay. This voltage powers the PCM and its
outputs.
When the ignition switch is turned "OFF", the relay de-energizes, stopping B+ to the PCM.

ISSUE This TSB article is a diagnostic procedure to address vehicles that exhibit lean driveability
symptoms and may or may not have any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored in memory.
ACTION Follow the diagnostic procedures described in the following Service Tip. The revised
diagnostic procedure is a more accurate means of diagnosing the symptoms.
SERVICE TIP
MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) DISCUSSION
MAF sensors can get contaminated from a variety of sources: dirt, oil, silicon, spider webs, potting
compound from the sensor itself, etc. When a MAF sensor gets contaminated, it skews the transfer
function such that the sensor over-estimates air flow at idle (causes the fuel system to go rich) and
under-estimates air flow at high air flows (causes fuel system to go lean). This means Long Term
Fuel Trims will learn lean (negative) corrections at idle and learn rich (positive) corrections at higher
air flows.
If vehicle is driven at Wide Open Throttle (WOT) or high loads, the fuel system normally goes open
loop rich to provide maximum power. If the MAF sensor is contaminated, the fuel system will
actually be lean because of under-estimated air flow. During open loop fuel operation, the vehicle
applies Long Term Fuel Trim corrections that have been learned during closed loop operation.
These corrections are often lean corrections learned at lower air flows. This combination of
under-estimated air flow and lean fuel trim corrections can result in spark knock/detonation and
lack of power concerns at WOT and high loads.
One of the indicators for diagnosing this condition is barometric pressure. Barometric pressure
(BARO) is inferred by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software at part throttle and WOT
(there is no actual BARO sensor on MAF-equipped vehicles, except for the 3.8L Supercharged
engine). At high air flows, a contaminated MAF sensor will under-estimate air flow coming into the
engine, hence the PCM infers that the vehicle is operating at a higher altitude. The BARO reading
is stored in Keep Alive Memory (KAM) after it is updated. Other indicators are Long Term Fuel Trim
and MAF

1. Look at the BARO PID. Refer to the Barometric Pressure Reference Chart in this article. At sea
level, BARO should read about 159 Hz (29.91 in. Hg). As a reference, Denver, Colorado at 1524
meters (5000 ft.) altitude should be about 144 Hz (24.88 in.Hg). Normal learned BARO variability is
up to +/- 6 Hz (+/- 2 in. Hg.). If BARO indicates a higher altitude than you are not at (7 or more Hz
lower than expected), you may have MAF contamination. If available, Service Bay Diagnostic
System (SBDS) has a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor that can be used as a barometric
pressure reference. Use "MAP/BARO" test under "Powertrain," "Testers and Meters." Ignore the
hookup screen. Connect GP2 to the reference MAP on the following screen.
NOTE
REMEMBER THAT MOST WEATHER SERVICES REPORT A LOCAL BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED TO SEA LEVEL. THE BARO PID, ON THE OTHER
HAND, REPORTS THE ACTUAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE FOR THE ALTITUDE THE
VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED IN. LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS (HIGH AND LOW
PRESSURE AREAS) WILL CHANGE THE LOCAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BY SEVERAL
INCHES OF MERCURY (+/- 3 Hz, +/- 1 in. Hg.).
NOTE
BARO IS UPDATED ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGH THROTTLE OPENINGS.
THEREFORE, A VEHICLE WHICH IS DRIVEN DOWN FROM A HIGHER ALTITUDE MAY NOT
HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE BARO VALUE IN KAM. IF YOU ARE NOT
CONFIDENT THAT BARO HAS BEEN UPDATED, PERFORM THREE OR FOUR HEAVY,
SUSTAINED ACCELERATIONS AT GREATER THAN HALF-THROTTLE TO ALLOW BARO TO
UPDATE.
2. On a fully warmed up engine, look at Long Term Fuel Trim at idle, in Neutral, A/C off, (LONGFT1
and/or LONGFT2 PIDs). If it is more negative than -12%, the fuel system has learned lean
corrections which may be due to the MAF sensor over-estimating air flow at idle. Note that both
Banks 1 and 2 will exhibit negative corrections for 2-bank system. If only one bank of a 2-bank
system has negative corrections, the MAF sensor is probably not contaminated.
3. On a fully warmed up engine, look at MAF voltage at idle, in Neutral, A/C off (MAF V PID). If it's
30% greater than the nominal MAF V voltage listed in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis
(PC/ED) Diagnostic Value Reference Charts for your vehicle, or greater than 1.1 volts as a rough
guide, the MAF sensor is over-estimating air flow at idle.
4. If at least tow of the previous three steps are true, proceed to disconnect the MAF sensor
connector. This puts the vehicle into Failure Mode and Effects Management (FMEM). In FMEM
mode, air flow is inferred by using rpm and throttle position instead of reading the MAF sensor. (In
addition, the BARO value is reset to a base/unlearned value.) If the lean driveability symptoms go
away, the MAF sensor is probably contaminated and should be replaced. If the lean driveability
symptoms do not go away, go to the PC/ED Service Manual for the appropriate diagnostics.
NOTE
DUE TO INCREASINGLY STRINGENT EMISSION/OBDII REQUIREMENTS, IT IS POSSIBLE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH MAF SENSOR CONTAMINATION TO SET FUEL SYSTEM DTCs
AND ILLUMINATE THE MIL WITH NO DRIVEABILITY CONCERNS. DISCONNECTING THE MAF
ON THESE VEHICLES WILL, THEREFORE, PRODUCE NO IMPROVEMENTS IN
DRIVEABILITY. IN THESE CASES, IF THE BARO, LONGFT1, LONGFT2, AND MAF V PIDs
INDICATE THAT THE MAF IS CONTAMINATED, PROCEED TO REPLACE THE MAF SENSOR.
After replacing the MAF sensor, disconnect the vehicle battery (5 minutes, minimum to reset KAM,
or on newer vehicles, use the "KAM Reset" feature on the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester and
verify that the lean driveability symptoms are gone.

ISSUE This TSB article is a diagnostic procedure to address vehicles that exhibit lean driveability
symptoms and may or may not have any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored in memory.
ACTION Follow the diagnostic procedures described in the following Service Tip. The revised
diagnostic procedure is a more accurate means of diagnosing the symptoms.
SERVICE TIP
MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) DISCUSSION
MAF sensors can get contaminated from a variety of sources: dirt, oil, silicon, spider webs, potting
compound from the sensor itself, etc. When a MAF sensor gets contaminated, it skews the transfer
function such that the sensor over-estimates air flow at idle (causes the fuel system to go rich) and
under-estimates air flow at high air flows (causes fuel system to go lean). This means Long Term
Fuel Trims will learn lean (negative) corrections at idle and learn rich (positive) corrections at higher
air flows.
If vehicle is driven at Wide Open Throttle (WOT) or high loads, the fuel system normally goes open
loop rich to provide maximum power. If the MAF sensor is contaminated, the fuel system will
actually be lean because of under-estimated air flow. During open loop fuel operation, the vehicle
applies Long Term Fuel Trim corrections that have been learned during closed loop operation.
These corrections are often lean corrections learned at lower air flows. This combination of
under-estimated air flow and lean fuel trim corrections can result in spark knock/detonation and
lack of power concerns at WOT and high loads.
One of the indicators for diagnosing this condition is barometric pressure. Barometric pressure
(BARO) is inferred by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software at part throttle and WOT
(there is no actual BARO sensor on MAF-equipped vehicles, except for the 3.8L Supercharged
engine). At high air flows, a contaminated MAF sensor will under-estimate air flow coming into the
engine, hence the PCM infers that the vehicle is operating at a higher altitude. The BARO reading
is stored in Keep Alive Memory (KAM) after it is updated. Other indicators are Long Term Fuel Trim
and MAF

PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION DISPLAY (PID) IS USED FOR THIS DIAGNOSTIC
PROCEDURE. ALL OBDII APPLICATIONS HAVE THIS PID AVAILABLE. THERE ARE SOME
OBDI VEHICLES THAT DO NOT HAVE THE BARO PID, FOR THESE VEHICLES OMIT THE
BARO CHECK AND REFER ONLY TO STEPS 2, 3, AND 4 IN THE DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE.

1. Look at the BARO PID. Refer to the Barometric Pressure Reference Chart in this article. At sea
level, BARO should read about 159 Hz (29.91 in. Hg). As a reference, Denver, Colorado at 1524
meters (5000 ft.) altitude should be about 144 Hz (24.88 in.Hg). Normal learned BARO variability is
up to +/- 6 Hz (+/- 2 in. Hg.). If BARO indicates a higher altitude than you are not at (7 or more Hz
lower than expected), you may have MAF contamination. If available, Service Bay Diagnostic
System (SBDS) has a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor that can be used as a barometric
pressure reference. Use "MAP/BARO" test under "Powertrain," "Testers and Meters." Ignore the
hookup screen. Connect GP2 to the reference MAP on the following screen.
NOTE
REMEMBER THAT MOST WEATHER SERVICES REPORT A LOCAL BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED TO SEA LEVEL. THE BARO PID, ON THE OTHER
HAND, REPORTS THE ACTUAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE FOR THE ALTITUDE THE
VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED IN. LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS (HIGH AND LOW
PRESSURE AREAS) WILL CHANGE THE LOCAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BY SEVERAL
INCHES OF MERCURY (+/- 3 Hz, +/- 1 in. Hg.).
NOTE
BARO IS UPDATED ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGH THROTTLE OPENINGS.
THEREFORE, A VEHICLE WHICH IS DRIVEN DOWN FROM A HIGHER ALTITUDE MAY NOT
HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE BARO VALUE IN KAM. IF YOU ARE NOT
CONFIDENT THAT BARO HAS BEEN UPDATED, PERFORM THREE OR FOUR HEAVY,
SUSTAINED ACCELERATIONS AT GREATER THAN HALF-THROTTLE TO ALLOW BARO TO
UPDATE.
2. On a fully warmed up engine, look at Long Term Fuel Trim at idle, in Neutral, A/C off, (LONGFT1
and/or LONGFT2 PIDs). If it is more negative than -12%, the fuel system has learned lean
corrections which may be due to the MAF sensor over-estimating air flow at idle. Note that both
Banks 1 and 2 will exhibit negative corrections for 2-bank system. If only one bank of a 2-bank
system has negative corrections, the MAF sensor is probably not contaminated.
3. On a fully warmed up engine, look at MAF voltage at idle, in Neutral, A/C off (MAF V PID). If it's
30% greater than the nominal MAF V voltage listed in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis
(PC/ED) Diagnostic Value Reference Charts for your vehicle, or greater than 1.1 volts as a rough
guide, the MAF sensor is over-estimating air flow at idle.
4. If at least tow of the previous three steps are true, proceed to disconnect the MAF sensor
connector. This puts the vehicle into Failure Mode and Effects Management (FMEM). In FMEM
mode, air flow is inferred by using rpm and throttle position instead of reading the MAF sensor. (In
addition, the BARO value is reset to a base/unlearned value.) If the lean driveability symptoms go
away, the MAF sensor is probably contaminated and should be replaced. If the lean driveability
symptoms do not go away, go to the PC/ED Service Manual for the appropriate diagnostics.

ON THESE VEHICLES WILL, THEREFORE, PRODUCE NO IMPROVEMENTS IN
DRIVEABILITY. IN THESE CASES, IF THE BARO, LONGFT1, LONGFT2, AND MAF V PIDs
INDICATE THAT THE MAF IS CONTAMINATED, PROCEED TO REPLACE THE MAF SENSOR.
After replacing the MAF sensor, disconnect the vehicle battery (5 minutes, minimum to reset KAM,
or on newer vehicles, use the "KAM Reset" feature on the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester and
verify that the lean driveability symptoms are gone.

Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow Sensor
PURPOSE
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor measures the total volume and mass of air flowing into the
engine. This value is one of the major factors used by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in
determining the fuel injection base pulse width and ignition timing advance.
CONSTRUCTION
The MAF sensor is located directly in the air flow path between the air cleaner housing and the
throttle body. The sensor is designed and located such that all air entering the intake manifold must
flow through it. Located in the MAF sensor directly in the airstream are two platinum wires, a hot
wire heated by electrical current and a cold reference wire. The MAF sensor uses the air flow
across these wires to calculate its output.
OPERATION
The MAF sensor operates on the principle that if the hot wire is maintained at a constant
temperature above ambient, the thermal loss exhibited by the hot wire is proportional to the total
mass of air flowing across it.
The sensor maintains the hot wire exactly 200°C (392°F) hotter than the reference (cold) wire. The
MAF sensor then measures the amount of electrical current required to maintain this temperature
difference and converts this value to an analog DC voltage. This output varies directly with the
mass air flow rate and ranges from 0.5 to 4.5 volts.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 129 - Insufficient MAF sensor output change during the dynamic response (snap throttle) test.
DTC 157 - MAF sensor output went below the minimum value of 0.4 volts (continuous memory
code).
DTC 158 - MAF sensor output went above the maximum value of 4.5 volts (continuous memory
code).
DTC 159 - MAF sensor output was measured out of range during a self-test, >0.7 volts during the
Key On Engine Off (KOEO) test and not between 0.2-1.5 volts during the Key On Engine Running
(KOER) test.
DTC 184 - MAF sensor output is higher than expected.
DTC 185 - MAF sensor output is lower than expected.
Note: DTC 184, 185 were intended to detect in-range failures of the MAF sensor. The PCM
compares information from the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, throttle position sensor, and fuel
injection pulse width. If any one value appears to be out of line with the other two an in-range
trouble code will be set.

PURPOSE
In a Sequential Electronic Fuel Injection (SEFI) system each individual fuel injector is energized
just prior to the opening of its corresponding intake valve. The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is
used to identify when number 1 cylinder is on compression stroke and to generate the Cylinder
Identification (CID) signal. This CID signal allows the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to
sequence the fuel injectors in the correct order.
CONSTRUCTION
CMP is a single hall effect magnetic switch, activated by a single vane which is driven by the

Camshaft Position Sensor: Service and Repair
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
NOTE: When the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive
symptoms may occur while the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) relearns its adaptive strategy.
The vehicle may need to be driven 16 km (10 miles) or more to relearn the strategy.
2. Disconnect the engine wiring harness connector at the Camshaft Position (CMP), or Cylinder
Identification (CID) sensor.
3. Remove the CMP sensor retaining screws and CMP from synchronizer assembly.
NOTE: Prior to the removal of the CMP sensor, set No. 1 cylinder to 0 degrees Top Dead Center
(TDC) of the compression stroke. Note the position of the CMP sensor electrical connector. The
installation procedure requires that the connector be located in the same position.
4. Remove hold-down clamp.
5. Remove the synchronizer assembly from cylinder block.
INSTALLATION
1. Rotate crankshaft until TDC mark on the damper is accessible. If not present, place an additional
mark on the damper at 26 degrees After Top
Dead Center (ATDC). This position is 34 mm (1.34 in) counterclockwise from the TDC mark.
2. Position No. 1 cylinder to TDC between compression and ignition stroke. (Both intake and
exhaust valves must be closed with TDC mark on
vibration damper at pointer).

6. Install the assembled CMP sensor and oil pump drive gear into the engine. As the assembly is
pushed into place, the camshaft gear will rotate the
sensor vane clockwise toward the center window.
7. Rotate the CMP sensor counterclockwise. Install clamp and screw finger-tight. Rotate the sensor
back to its position at right angles to the back of
the block.
8. Connect the CMP Testing Wiring Harness T94T-50-B or equivalent to the CMP sensor.
9. Connect the CMP Testing Wiring Harness leads:
Red harness wire to the battery positive terminal.
Black harness wire to battery negative terminal.
Voltmeter positive lead to harnesses white lead.
Voltmeter negative lead to battery negative terminal.
10. Rotate engine two revolutions to take up slack in timing chain and return to No. 1 cylinder to its
compression stroke.
11. Verify that No. 1 cylinder is on its compression stroke.
NOTE: No. 1 cylinder must be at 26 degrees ATDC to set CMP sensor.
12. Continue to rotate the crankshaft until the new 26 degrees ATDC mark lines up with the timing
pointer.
13. While rotating the CMP sensor, note the exact point where the sensor switches from 0 to 12
volts on the voltmeter.
NOTE: The voltmeter will register battery voltage whenever the CMP closes and makes a complete
circuit.
14. Rotate the CMP sensor clockwise past the CMP switching point (from 12 to 0 volts).
NOTE: The final movement to set the CMP sensor must be in a counterclockwise direction.
15. Rotate the CMP sensor counterclockwise and stop at the exact point the voltmeter switches
from 0 to 12 volts.

Clutch Pedal Position Switch: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch provides an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM),
allowing it to compensate for changes in engine load resulting from clutch operation. The PCM
adjusts the idle speed and air/fuel ratio according to input from the CPP switch.
OPERATION
A 5.0 volt reference signal is applied to the CPP from the PCM. The CPP switch is open with the
clutch pedal up and closed when down. When the switch is closed it applies ground, through the
signal return circuit, to the CPP circuit, informing the PCM that the clutch pedal is depressed.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 528 - CPP circuit failure, during Key On Engine OFF (KOEO) self-test or while cranking the
PCM sensed a high voltage (clutch pedal not depressed) on the CPP circuit.

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
PURPOSE
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor provides an input to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM uses engine coolant temperature data to adjust the fuel injection base pulse
width, EGR flow, and ignition timing.
CONSTRUCTION
The ECT is a two lead thermistor type sensor with a negative temperature coefficient.
Descriptive Schematic
OPERATION
The PCM applies a 5.0 volt reference voltage to the ECT signal lead while the signal return lead is
connected to a common sensor ground.
As the temperature of the engine coolant increases the resistance of the ECT sensor decreases
and correspondingly the voltage drop across the ECT sensor is reduced.
A decrease in engine coolant temperature will increase the resistance of the ECT and raise the
voltage drop across the sensor.
The normal operating range of the ECT is 3.50 volts (50°F) to 0.35 volts (230°F).
Due to its negative temperature coefficient, poor electrical connections or minor increases in
resistance across the ECT circuit harness and ground connections can result in temperature values
that are lower than actual.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 21/116 - The ECT sensor output is out of self-test range, 0.3-3.7 volts.
DTC 61/117 - The ECT sensor output is less than the self-test minimum, 0.2 volts.
DTC 51/118 - The ECT sensor output is greater than the self-test maximum, 4.6 volts.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor provides base timing and engine speed information to the
Ignition Control Module (ICM). The ICM supplies this information to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) as the Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) signal. The PCM uses this information for fuel injector
timing and calculating ignition timing advance and dwell.
CONSTRUCTION
The CKP is a variable reluctance type sensor that monitors the movement of a 35 tooth wheel
located behind the crankshaft pulley.
EI Ignition System Oscilloscope Waveform
OPERATION
As the teeth on the crankshaft pass by the CKP a voltage is induced in the sensor. The CKP output
is a spiked sine wave that is proportional to crankshaft speed and position. The missing tooth (36
minus 1) design allows the ICM to synchronize the signal and select the correct coil to fire.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor
PURPOSE
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor measures the temperature of the incoming air flow. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses this information to adjust the fuel injection base pulse

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

Heated Oxygen (HO2S) Sensor: Description and Operation
Heated Oxygen Sensor
PURPOSE
The Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen Sensor(HO2S) detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust
system and produces a variable voltage according to the amount of oxygen present.
When operating in closed loop the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors this input and
correspondingly changes the duration of the fuel injection pulse width to achieve an air/fuel ratio of
14.7:1.
CONSTRUCTION
The sensor is a zirconium dioxide ceramic thimble with a platinum surface electrode. The sensor is
threaded into the exhaust manifold with a sampling tip extending into the exhaust stream.
Heated Oxygen Sensor Operation
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen (HO2S) Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information >
Locations > Page 2937
OPERATION
The zirconium dioxide in the sensor is electrically sensitive to differences in the amount of oxygen
present between two sources. The outside of the sensor is vented to the atmosphere while the
inside is exposed to the exhaust stream. The differing amounts of oxygen present between the two
sources causes the sensor to generate a voltage.
A rich fuel mixture will result in a low level of oxygen present in the exhaust. This will produce a
larger difference in oxygen levels sensed by the HO2S which will result in a higher voltage being
produced.
A lean fuel mixture will result in a high level of oxygen present in the exhaust. This will produce a
smaller difference in oxygen levels sensed by the HO2S which will result in a lower voltage being
produced.
Normal operating range for the HO2S is 0.0 volts (lean condition) to 1.1 volts (rich condition).
The HO2S temperature must be above 600°F to operate properly. To minimize heat up time, a
heating element is incorporated into the sensor.
Heated Oxygen Sensor
The HO2S uses a 4 wire connection.
- HO2S wire is the sensor output.
- SIG RTN is the sensor ground.
- 12.0 volt power supply for the sensor heater, from the Ignition Run circuit.
- Ground wire for the sensor heater.

ISSUE: The following Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) TSB has been developed for service use.
This TSB includes the following topics:
^ Description And Background Of TPS
^ (A1) and (A2) - Diagnostic Trouble Codes (Service Tips)
^ (B) Troubleshooting The TPS
^ (C) TPS Application Charts
ACTION: If TPS diagnosis or repair is required, refer to the following procedures for service details.
Description
The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is a rotary potentiometer that provides a voltage signal to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that is linearly proportional to the throttle plate/shaft angular
position. The TP sensor has a three-blade electrical connector that is plated. The plating increases
the corrosion resistance on terminals and increases the connector durability. The TP sensor is
mounted on the throttle body and is non-adjustable. As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle
shaft, four (4) operating conditions are determined by the PCM from the TP sensor.
The four (4) vehicle operating conditions are:
^ Closed throttle (idle or deceleration)
^ Part throttle (cruise, moderate acceleration)
^ Wide open throttle (maximum acceleration, de-choke on crank and A/C shut-off)
^ Throttle angle rate.
Background
Recently, revisions have been made to the TPS, which have improved reliability and durability.
(A1) - Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)

Throttle Position Sensor - Function and Diagnostic Tips > Page 2949
A key difference between EEC-IV, OBD I and EEC-V, OBD II is the monitors. EEC-IV monitors are
designed to identify system and component issues. EEC-V monitors are designed to measure the
ability of systems and components to maintain low emission levels.
To minimize the replacement of good components, be advised that the following non-EEC areas
may be the issue:
^ Excessive blow-by
^ PCV malfunction
^ Vacuum leaks
^ Fuel pressure
^ Throttle sticking or linkage binding.
(A2) - EEC-IV Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)
When a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 121, 124 or 125 are set in continuous memory, the
technician is directed to Pinpoint Test G of the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED)
Manual. Pinpoint Test G is named: In-Range MAF/TP/Fuel lnjector Pulse Width Test. The
description of the test is as follows:
^ EEC-IV DTC Code 121, 124, and 125 Description.
This In-Range Self-Test was designed to identify in-range concerns of the MAF sensor, TP sensor,
or the fuel delivery system. The PCM will use information from these three (3) areas based on
vehicle load to generate three (3) independent values. The three (3) independent values will be
continuously monitored by the PCM. If one (1) of the values differs significantly from the others
during normal vehicle operation, a Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be
stored.
EEC codes for the TPS are intended as a supplemental aid to diagnostics. They do not indicate the
root cause since more than one (1) component can set the same code.
For example: EEC-IV, OBD I Codes 122 and 123 and EEC-V, OBD II Codes P0122 and P0123 for
"TP circuit too low" or "TP circuit too high", limit the condition to the TP circuit, connector, or vehicle
harness.
EEC-IV, OBD I Codes: 121, "TP inconsistent with air meter", 124, "TP higher than expected", 125,
"TP lower than expected" and OBD II Code P1121, "TP inconsistent with MAF sensor" are a result
of a comparison of the TP signal to a given airflow. Any un-metered air (downstream of MAF) that
enters the engine, either due to a mechanical situation or electrical sensor condition, may result in
these codes. PC/ED Pinpoint Tests will guide you to the root cause and avoid customer repeat
repairs.
EEC-IV (OBD I) Codes 124 and 125 are set in memory as follows: Codes 124-125 are a
comparison of a given airflow to the TPS voltage (throttle plate position).
Code 124: The PCM has indicated that the airflow rate is too low for the position of the throttle plate
angle.
Causes for EEC-IV, OBD I Code 124:
Air bypass solenoid flow low/blocked (MAF may indicate low during the event).
^ Throttle body obstructed.
^ EGR flow low.
^ TPS circuit concern when accompanied by Codes 122 or 123.
^ BP sensor low.
Code 125: The PCM has indicated that the airflow rate is too high for the position of the throttle
plate.
Causes of EEC-IV, OBD I Code 125:
Air bypass solenoid high/stuck open (MAF may indicate high during this event).
^ EGR flow high.
^ TPS circuit concern when accompanied by Codes 122 or 123.
^ BP sensor high.
These codes are designed to set while in the part throttle drive mode, and often the MIL light
flashes on and off until the condition is gone. In some cases, it is difficult to repeat the codes in a
test drive since the PCM requires a long drive time to calculate the error in the system. At other
times, it may be difficult to repeat because the condition that set the code may be intermittent.
Pinpoint Test G of the PC/ED Manual will guide you to the root cause.
Causes of EEC Codes 122: TPS sensor circuit voltage above maximum.
Causes of EEC codes 123: TPS sensor circuit voltage below minimum.

^ Harness damage.
^ Connector damage or water in connector.
^ Defective TPS, open or short.
^ Check VREF for correct output.
^ Throttle plate not closing.
(B) - Troubleshooting the TPS
The following is a list of vehicle symptoms which have been associated with the TPS, but can also
be related to other vehicle components.
^ Check engine light
^ Stalls/quits
^ Hesitation/stumble
^ Fast idle
If an EEC error code has identified the TPS as suspect, perform PC/ED Manual pinpoint tests on
the TPS.
Testing the TPS in the vehicle electrical circuit:
The TPS is supplied with a 5.0 volt reference signal. As the TPS senses throttle plate rotation, the
output voltage changes to a value in the range of 0.4 volts to 4.8 volts depending on vehicle
application. A voltmeter, New Generation Star Tester (NGS) or Service Bay Diagnostics System
(SBDS) is the recommended test equipment for checking the TPS output.
The reason SBDS or NGS are the preferred tools is that they allow TPS voltage monitoring without
disturbing the connector. Many conditions can be caused by loose, dirty, oxidized, or poor
connections that may correct themselves for a short time if the connector is disturbed during
testing. This can mislead technicians into replacing a TPS that is okay, and the true cause, a bad
connection, may return at some future time.

Measuring the TPS voltage at idle is key when diagnosing a TPS since most of its operational life is
within 10 degrees of idle. Figures 2 and 3 include a guide to TPS output voltages for 1993-95
model year vehicles.

Figure 1 is a graph that shows how the TPS output voltage changes between engine idle and WOT
conditions.
The TPS voltage increases when the throttle is depressed. Idle is typically in the 0.4 volt to 1.2 volt
range. (Refer to idle voltage range chart.) As the TPS senses plate rotation toward Wide Open
Throttle (WOT), the voltage increases. WOT is typically in the 4.0 volt range. A voltmeter, NGS, or
SBDS is the recommended test equipment for checking the TPS output.
CAUTION:
MANY VOLTMETERS WILL AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE RANGES WHEN MEASURING TPS
OUTPUT FROM IDLE TO WOT. WHEN A VOLTMETER IS USED TO MEASURE TPS OUTPUT
FROM IDLE TO WOT, THE METER SCALES OR CHANGES RANGES AUTOMATICALLY.
THERE MAY BE AN ERRONEOUS METER DISPLAY UNTIL THE VOLTMETER HAS LOCKED
TO THE APPROPRIATE VOLTAGE READING. THE ERRONEOUS METER DISPLAY DOES
NOT REPRESENT A DEFECTIVE TPS.
NOTE:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE "RANGE LOCK' FEATURE ON MANY METERS BE SET FOR
CHECKING TPS VOLTAGE.

Use the 0.00 range to measure TPS voltage.
If your voltmeter does not change ranges automatically and the meter is set to millivolt scale when
reading full range voltages, the meter display may not indicate a valid value. This can be
misinterpreted as an open circuit or suspect TPS. Ensure the meter is set to volts for measuring full
range voltage levels.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a rotary potentiometer that determines throttle plate angle. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) determines operating modes from the TP signal. These are: Closed throttle, idle or deceleration
- Part throttle, cruise or moderate acceleration
- Wide open throttle, maximum acceleration, dechoke on crank and A/C cutout
- Throttle angle rate, acceleration pump type function
- Transmission shift schedule
CONSTRUCTION
The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body and is directly linked to the throttle shaft. The TP
sensor is composed of a wiper arm that moves along a curved resistor.
OPERATION
The TP sensor measures travel of the throttle shaft to produce a continuously variable output signal
proportional to the throttle plate position.
Throttle Position Sensor Schematic
The potentiometer functions as a voltage divider. A 5.0 volt reference signal is applied to one end
(VREF) of a curved resistance material, with the other end grounded along the SIG RTN circuit.
The TP sensor output signal is taken off a wiper arm (mechanically linked to the throttle shaft) that
travels along the entire length of the curved resistor
At closed throttle the TP wiper arm is nearer the ground side of the resistor resulting in a lower
output, 0.6 volts at 0% throttle angle.
At wide open throttle the TP wiper arm is nearer the reference voltage side of the resistor resulting
in a higher output, 4.5 volts at 85% throttle angle.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch gives an indication of transmission load to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). This information is required for adjusting fuel/air ratio and idle speed.
OPERATION
When the transmission is in gear the PNP switch is normally open. This results in a high voltage on
the PNP output pin 30. When the transmission is shifted into neutral or park the PNP switch is
closed and ground is applied to PNP output pin 30.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
PURPOSE
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) signal is used by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to
determine vehicle speed.
OPERATION
The VSS produces AC signals proportional to vehicle speed. This signal is sent to the PCM and is
converted into a vehicle speed value, stored in RAM memory. The PCM utilizes this value to aid in
controlling torque converter lock-up, coolant fan control, vehicle speed control, air/fuel ratio and
ignition timing.
Vehicle Speed Sensor Schematic
CONSTRUCTION
The VSS is a variable reluctance sensor that generates a sine wave type waveform with a
frequency that is proportional to the speed of the vehicle.

ISSUE: The following Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) TSB has been developed for service use.
This TSB includes the following topics:
^ Description And Background Of TPS
^ (A1) and (A2) - Diagnostic Trouble Codes (Service Tips)
^ (B) Troubleshooting The TPS
^ (C) TPS Application Charts
ACTION: If TPS diagnosis or repair is required, refer to the following procedures for service details.
Description
The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is a rotary potentiometer that provides a voltage signal to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that is linearly proportional to the throttle plate/shaft angular
position. The TP sensor has a three-blade electrical connector that is plated. The plating increases
the corrosion resistance on terminals and increases the connector durability. The TP sensor is
mounted on the throttle body and is non-adjustable. As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle
shaft, four (4) operating conditions are determined by the PCM from the TP sensor.
The four (4) vehicle operating conditions are:
^ Closed throttle (idle or deceleration)
^ Part throttle (cruise, moderate acceleration)
^ Wide open throttle (maximum acceleration, de-choke on crank and A/C shut-off)
^ Throttle angle rate.
Background
Recently, revisions have been made to the TPS, which have improved reliability and durability.

A key difference between EEC-IV, OBD I and EEC-V, OBD II is the monitors. EEC-IV monitors are
designed to identify system and component issues. EEC-V monitors are designed to measure the
ability of systems and components to maintain low emission levels.
To minimize the replacement of good components, be advised that the following non-EEC areas
may be the issue:
^ Excessive blow-by
^ PCV malfunction
^ Vacuum leaks
^ Fuel pressure
^ Throttle sticking or linkage binding.
(A2) - EEC-IV Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)
When a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 121, 124 or 125 are set in continuous memory, the
technician is directed to Pinpoint Test G of the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED)
Manual. Pinpoint Test G is named: In-Range MAF/TP/Fuel lnjector Pulse Width Test. The
description of the test is as follows:
^ EEC-IV DTC Code 121, 124, and 125 Description.
This In-Range Self-Test was designed to identify in-range concerns of the MAF sensor, TP sensor,
or the fuel delivery system. The PCM will use information from these three (3) areas based on
vehicle load to generate three (3) independent values. The three (3) independent values will be
continuously monitored by the PCM. If one (1) of the values differs significantly from the others
during normal vehicle operation, a Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be
stored.
EEC codes for the TPS are intended as a supplemental aid to diagnostics. They do not indicate the
root cause since more than one (1) component can set the same code.
For example: EEC-IV, OBD I Codes 122 and 123 and EEC-V, OBD II Codes P0122 and P0123 for
"TP circuit too low" or "TP circuit too high", limit the condition to the TP circuit, connector, or vehicle
harness.
EEC-IV, OBD I Codes: 121, "TP inconsistent with air meter", 124, "TP higher than expected", 125,
"TP lower than expected" and OBD II Code P1121, "TP inconsistent with MAF sensor" are a result
of a comparison of the TP signal to a given airflow. Any un-metered air (downstream of MAF) that
enters the engine, either due to a mechanical situation or electrical sensor condition, may result in
these codes. PC/ED Pinpoint Tests will guide you to the root cause and avoid customer repeat
repairs.
EEC-IV (OBD I) Codes 124 and 125 are set in memory as follows: Codes 124-125 are a
comparison of a given airflow to the TPS voltage (throttle plate position).
Code 124: The PCM has indicated that the airflow rate is too low for the position of the throttle plate
angle.
Causes for EEC-IV, OBD I Code 124:
Air bypass solenoid flow low/blocked (MAF may indicate low during the event).
^ Throttle body obstructed.
^ EGR flow low.
^ TPS circuit concern when accompanied by Codes 122 or 123.
^ BP sensor low.
Code 125: The PCM has indicated that the airflow rate is too high for the position of the throttle
plate.
Causes of EEC-IV, OBD I Code 125:
Air bypass solenoid high/stuck open (MAF may indicate high during this event).
^ EGR flow high.
^ TPS circuit concern when accompanied by Codes 122 or 123.
^ BP sensor high.
These codes are designed to set while in the part throttle drive mode, and often the MIL light
flashes on and off until the condition is gone. In some cases, it is difficult to repeat the codes in a
test drive since the PCM requires a long drive time to calculate the error in the system. At other
times, it may be difficult to repeat because the condition that set the code may be intermittent.
Pinpoint Test G of the PC/ED Manual will guide you to the root cause.
Causes of EEC Codes 122: TPS sensor circuit voltage above maximum.
Causes of EEC codes 123: TPS sensor circuit voltage below minimum.

^ Harness damage.
^ Connector damage or water in connector.
^ Defective TPS, open or short.
^ Check VREF for correct output.
^ Throttle plate not closing.
(B) - Troubleshooting the TPS
The following is a list of vehicle symptoms which have been associated with the TPS, but can also
be related to other vehicle components.
^ Check engine light
^ Stalls/quits
^ Hesitation/stumble
^ Fast idle
If an EEC error code has identified the TPS as suspect, perform PC/ED Manual pinpoint tests on
the TPS.
Testing the TPS in the vehicle electrical circuit:
The TPS is supplied with a 5.0 volt reference signal. As the TPS senses throttle plate rotation, the
output voltage changes to a value in the range of 0.4 volts to 4.8 volts depending on vehicle
application. A voltmeter, New Generation Star Tester (NGS) or Service Bay Diagnostics System
(SBDS) is the recommended test equipment for checking the TPS output.
The reason SBDS or NGS are the preferred tools is that they allow TPS voltage monitoring without
disturbing the connector. Many conditions can be caused by loose, dirty, oxidized, or poor
connections that may correct themselves for a short time if the connector is disturbed during
testing. This can mislead technicians into replacing a TPS that is okay, and the true cause, a bad
connection, may return at some future time.

Measuring the TPS voltage at idle is key when diagnosing a TPS since most of its operational life is
within 10 degrees of idle. Figures 2 and 3 include a guide to TPS output voltages for 1993-95
model year vehicles.

2982
Figure 1 is a graph that shows how the TPS output voltage changes between engine idle and WOT
conditions.
The TPS voltage increases when the throttle is depressed. Idle is typically in the 0.4 volt to 1.2 volt
range. (Refer to idle voltage range chart.) As the TPS senses plate rotation toward Wide Open
Throttle (WOT), the voltage increases. WOT is typically in the 4.0 volt range. A voltmeter, NGS, or
SBDS is the recommended test equipment for checking the TPS output.
CAUTION:
MANY VOLTMETERS WILL AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE RANGES WHEN MEASURING TPS
OUTPUT FROM IDLE TO WOT. WHEN A VOLTMETER IS USED TO MEASURE TPS OUTPUT
FROM IDLE TO WOT, THE METER SCALES OR CHANGES RANGES AUTOMATICALLY.
THERE MAY BE AN ERRONEOUS METER DISPLAY UNTIL THE VOLTMETER HAS LOCKED
TO THE APPROPRIATE VOLTAGE READING. THE ERRONEOUS METER DISPLAY DOES
NOT REPRESENT A DEFECTIVE TPS.
NOTE:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE "RANGE LOCK' FEATURE ON MANY METERS BE SET FOR
CHECKING TPS VOLTAGE.

2983
Use the 0.00 range to measure TPS voltage.
If your voltmeter does not change ranges automatically and the meter is set to millivolt scale when
reading full range voltages, the meter display may not indicate a valid value. This can be
misinterpreted as an open circuit or suspect TPS. Ensure the meter is set to volts for measuring full
range voltage levels.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a rotary potentiometer that determines throttle plate angle. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) determines operating modes from the TP signal. These are: Closed throttle, idle or deceleration
- Part throttle, cruise or moderate acceleration
- Wide open throttle, maximum acceleration, dechoke on crank and A/C cutout
- Throttle angle rate, acceleration pump type function
- Transmission shift schedule
CONSTRUCTION
The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body and is directly linked to the throttle shaft. The TP
sensor is composed of a wiper arm that moves along a curved resistor.
OPERATION
The TP sensor measures travel of the throttle shaft to produce a continuously variable output signal
proportional to the throttle plate position.
Throttle Position Sensor Schematic
The potentiometer functions as a voltage divider. A 5.0 volt reference signal is applied to one end
(VREF) of a curved resistance material, with the other end grounded along the SIG RTN circuit.
The TP sensor output signal is taken off a wiper arm (mechanically linked to the throttle shaft) that
travels along the entire length of the curved resistor
At closed throttle the TP wiper arm is nearer the ground side of the resistor resulting in a lower
output, 0.6 volts at 0% throttle angle.
At wide open throttle the TP wiper arm is nearer the reference voltage side of the resistor resulting
in a higher output, 4.5 volts at 85% throttle angle.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 23/121 - TP sensor output is out of the self-test range.
DTC 63/122 - TP sensor output is below the minimum self-test value.
DTC 53/123 - TP sensor output is above the maximum self-test value.
DTC 124 - TP sensor output is higher than expected.
DTC 125 - TP sensor output is lower than expected.
Note: DTC 124, 125 were intended to detect in-range failures of the TP sensor. The PCM
compares information from the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, TP sensor, and fuel injection pulse
width. If any one value appears to be out of line with the other two an in-range trouble code will be
set.

Fuel Vapor Canister Purge Regulator Valve
PURPOSE
The fuel vapor canister purge regulator valve is a normally closed valve in the evaporative emission
system. It is located in the vapor line between the fuel vapor canister and throttle body.
OPERATION
The operation of the fuel vapor canister purge regulator valve is controlled by the powertrain control
module. When the engine is off, the fuel vapor canister purge regulator valve is not energized and
is in a closed, non-flowing condition. When the engine is running, the powertrain control module
reads engine rpm, engine load, engine temperature and other variables, and decides the proper
time for the engine to accept fuel vapors. When this occurs, the powertrain control module
energizes the fuel vapor canister purge regulator valve, allowing flow from the fuel vapor canister to
the intake manifold. The vapors are then consumed in the engine. This action "purges" the fuel
vapor canister of fuel vapors.

Liquid Vapor Separator: Description and Operation
Vapor Control Valve
PURPOSE
The fuel vapor valve uses a small orifice, 1.83mm (0.072 in), that allows vapors to pass into the
vapor line running forward to the fuel vapor canister.
OPERATION
Fuel vapors trapped in the sealed fuel tank are vented through the orificed fuel vapor valve. The
vapors from the fuel tank leave the fuel vapor valve through a single vapor line and continue to the
fuel vapor canister in the engine compartment for storage. If, due to extreme conditions, excessive
pressure is generated inside the fuel tank, the purge port opens up allowing the fuel vapor to
escape to the atmosphere, and stabilizes the pressure inside the fuel tank.

TAC Vacuum Motor And Duct Valve
Vacuum motor.
PURPOSE
Fresh air or heated air from a engine air cleaner duct shroud and tube around the exhaust manifold
is made available to the engine air intake through a system of ducting. The vacuum-operated duct
system can select either warm air from shrouding around the exhaust manifold or cool air from an
outside air pickup tube. Selection is made by a temperature-sensitive vacuum system that operates
the duct valve.
OPERATION
When the engine is cold, air is selected from the exhaust manifold engine air cleaner duct shroud
and tube because the temperature sensor in the engine air cleaner is cold and vacuum is applied
to the vacuum motor that operates the duct valve. As the engine warms, heated air enters the
engine air cleaner and warms the sensor. The sensor then limits the amount of vacuum applied to
the vacuum motor. This closes the duct valve and allows pickup of cooler ambient air from the
outside air pickup tube.
LOCATION
The remote duct and valve assembly is located under the battery tray and has a bimetal switch
located in the air-cleaner cover. The vacuum motor is located on the duct and valve assembly. The
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is located in the engine air cleaner.

Adjustments
Idle Speed: Adjustments
NOTE: Curb and fast idle speeds are controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and Idle
Air Control (IAC) valve assembly. The IAC valve and idle speed is not adjustable. A large increase
or decrease in closed plate airflow from the calibrated level will not allow effective idle speed
control.
Throttle Body Assembly
Throttle bodies with sludge tolerant design are identified with a yellow/black decal. The throttle
body must not be cleaned inside the bore, as this cleaning will impair the sensitive coating. Sludge
accumulation will not affect the idle air flow. The cleaning procedure for the IAC valve still applies.
RPM LIMIT CHECK PROCEDURE - Self-Test constant tone
STAR tester or equivalent scanner required
1. Activate engine running Self-Test.
2. After diagnostic trouble code 11 or 111 has been displayed, unlatch and within 4 seconds latch
the Self-Test Input (STI) button.
3. A single pulse code indicates the entry mode, then observe the Self-Test Output (STO) of the
STAR tester.
- A constant tone, solid light or "STO LO" readout indicates base idle rpm is within range.
- Beeping tone, flashing light, or STO LO readout at 8.0 Hz indicates Throttle Position (TP) is out of
range due to over adjustment.
- Beeping tone, flashing light, or STO LO readout at 4.0 Hz indicates base idle rpm is too fast.
- Beeping tone, flashing light, or STO LO readout at 1.0 Hz indicates base idle is too slow.
4. To exit test, unlatch STI button, then wait 4 seconds for reinitialization (after 10 minutes it will exit
by itself).
5. If the idle rpm (engine warm, in Neutral, A/C "Off") is not within limits, refer to Testing and
Inspection / Procedures / Air Induction Diagnosis
for other possible causes of idle problem. See: Testing and Inspection/Pinpoint Tests/AIS - Air
Induction Diagnosis

ISSUE This TSB article is a diagnostic procedure to address vehicles that exhibit lean driveability
symptoms and may or may not have any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored in memory.
ACTION Follow the diagnostic procedures described in the following Service Tip. The revised
diagnostic procedure is a more accurate means of diagnosing the symptoms.
SERVICE TIP
MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) DISCUSSION
MAF sensors can get contaminated from a variety of sources: dirt, oil, silicon, spider webs, potting
compound from the sensor itself, etc. When a MAF sensor gets contaminated, it skews the transfer
function such that the sensor over-estimates air flow at idle (causes the fuel system to go rich) and
under-estimates air flow at high air flows (causes fuel system to go lean). This means Long Term
Fuel Trims will learn lean (negative) corrections at idle and learn rich (positive) corrections at higher
air flows.
If vehicle is driven at Wide Open Throttle (WOT) or high loads, the fuel system normally goes open
loop rich to provide maximum power. If the MAF sensor is contaminated, the fuel system will
actually be lean because of under-estimated air flow. During open loop fuel operation, the vehicle
applies Long Term Fuel Trim corrections that have been learned during closed loop operation.
These corrections are often lean corrections learned at lower air flows. This combination of
under-estimated air flow and lean fuel trim corrections can result in spark knock/detonation and
lack of power concerns at WOT and high loads.
One of the indicators for diagnosing this condition is barometric pressure. Barometric pressure
(BARO) is inferred by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software at part throttle and WOT
(there is no actual BARO sensor on MAF-equipped vehicles, except for the 3.8L Supercharged
engine). At high air flows, a contaminated MAF sensor will under-estimate air flow coming into the
engine, hence the PCM infers that the vehicle is operating at a higher altitude. The BARO reading
is stored in Keep Alive Memory (KAM) after it is updated. Other indicators are Long Term Fuel Trim
and MAF

NOTE:
DO NOT DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. IT WILL ERASE KEEP ALIVE MEMORY AND RESET
LONG TERM FUEL TRIM AND BARO TO THEIR STARTING/BASE VALUES. THE BARO
PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION DISPLAY (PID) IS USED FOR THIS DIAGNOSTIC
PROCEDURE. ALL OBDII APPLICATIONS HAVE THIS PID AVAILABLE. THERE ARE SOME
OBDI VEHICLES THAT DO NOT HAVE THE BARO PID, FOR THESE VEHICLES OMIT THE
BARO CHECK AND REFER ONLY TO STEPS 2, 3, AND 4 IN THE DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))

[Air Flow Meter/Sensor] > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest: > 98-23-10 > Nov > 98
> Engine - Lean Driveability Symptoms > Page 3157
1. Look at the BARO PID. Refer to the Barometric Pressure Reference Chart in this article. At sea
level, BARO should read about 159 Hz (29.91 in. Hg). As a reference, Denver, Colorado at 1524
meters (5000 ft.) altitude should be about 144 Hz (24.88 in.Hg). Normal learned BARO variability is
up to +/- 6 Hz (+/- 2 in. Hg.). If BARO indicates a higher altitude than you are not at (7 or more Hz
lower than expected), you may have MAF contamination. If available, Service Bay Diagnostic
System (SBDS) has a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor that can be used as a barometric
pressure reference. Use "MAP/BARO" test under "Powertrain," "Testers and Meters." Ignore the
hookup screen. Connect GP2 to the reference MAP on the following screen.
NOTE
REMEMBER THAT MOST WEATHER SERVICES REPORT A LOCAL BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED TO SEA LEVEL. THE BARO PID, ON THE OTHER
HAND, REPORTS THE ACTUAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE FOR THE ALTITUDE THE
VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED IN. LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS (HIGH AND LOW
PRESSURE AREAS) WILL CHANGE THE LOCAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BY SEVERAL
INCHES OF MERCURY (+/- 3 Hz, +/- 1 in. Hg.).
NOTE
BARO IS UPDATED ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGH THROTTLE OPENINGS.
THEREFORE, A VEHICLE WHICH IS DRIVEN DOWN FROM A HIGHER ALTITUDE MAY NOT
HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE BARO VALUE IN KAM. IF YOU ARE NOT
CONFIDENT THAT BARO HAS BEEN UPDATED, PERFORM THREE OR FOUR HEAVY,
SUSTAINED ACCELERATIONS AT GREATER THAN HALF-THROTTLE TO ALLOW BARO TO
UPDATE.
2. On a fully warmed up engine, look at Long Term Fuel Trim at idle, in Neutral, A/C off, (LONGFT1
and/or LONGFT2 PIDs). If it is more negative than -12%, the fuel system has learned lean
corrections which may be due to the MAF sensor over-estimating air flow at idle. Note that both
Banks 1 and 2 will exhibit negative corrections for 2-bank system. If only one bank of a 2-bank
system has negative corrections, the MAF sensor is probably not contaminated.
3. On a fully warmed up engine, look at MAF voltage at idle, in Neutral, A/C off (MAF V PID). If it's
30% greater than the nominal MAF V voltage listed in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis
(PC/ED) Diagnostic Value Reference Charts for your vehicle, or greater than 1.1 volts as a rough
guide, the MAF sensor is over-estimating air flow at idle.
4. If at least tow of the previous three steps are true, proceed to disconnect the MAF sensor
connector. This puts the vehicle into Failure Mode and Effects Management (FMEM). In FMEM
mode, air flow is inferred by using rpm and throttle position instead of reading the MAF sensor. (In
addition, the BARO value is reset to a base/unlearned value.) If the lean driveability symptoms go
away, the MAF sensor is probably contaminated and should be replaced. If the lean driveability
symptoms do not go away, go to the PC/ED Service Manual for the appropriate diagnostics.
NOTE
DUE TO INCREASINGLY STRINGENT EMISSION/OBDII REQUIREMENTS, IT IS POSSIBLE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH MAF SENSOR CONTAMINATION TO SET FUEL SYSTEM DTCs
AND ILLUMINATE THE MIL WITH NO DRIVEABILITY CONCERNS. DISCONNECTING THE MAF
ON THESE VEHICLES WILL, THEREFORE, PRODUCE NO IMPROVEMENTS IN

ISSUE This TSB article is a diagnostic procedure to address vehicles that exhibit lean driveability
symptoms and may or may not have any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored in memory.
ACTION Follow the diagnostic procedures described in the following Service Tip. The revised
diagnostic procedure is a more accurate means of diagnosing the symptoms.
SERVICE TIP
MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) DISCUSSION
MAF sensors can get contaminated from a variety of sources: dirt, oil, silicon, spider webs, potting
compound from the sensor itself, etc. When a MAF sensor gets contaminated, it skews the transfer
function such that the sensor over-estimates air flow at idle (causes the fuel system to go rich) and
under-estimates air flow at high air flows (causes fuel system to go lean). This means Long Term
Fuel Trims will learn lean (negative) corrections at idle and learn rich (positive) corrections at higher
air flows.
If vehicle is driven at Wide Open Throttle (WOT) or high loads, the fuel system normally goes open
loop rich to provide maximum power. If the MAF sensor is contaminated, the fuel system will
actually be lean because of under-estimated air flow. During open loop fuel operation, the vehicle
applies Long Term Fuel Trim corrections that have been learned during closed loop operation.
These corrections are often lean corrections learned at lower air flows. This combination of
under-estimated air flow and lean fuel trim corrections can result in spark knock/detonation and
lack of power concerns at WOT and high loads.
One of the indicators for diagnosing this condition is barometric pressure. Barometric pressure
(BARO) is inferred by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software at part throttle and WOT
(there is no actual BARO sensor on MAF-equipped vehicles, except for the 3.8L Supercharged
engine). At high air flows, a contaminated MAF sensor will under-estimate air flow coming into the
engine, hence the PCM infers that the vehicle is operating at a higher altitude. The BARO reading
is stored in Keep Alive Memory (KAM) after it is updated. Other indicators are Long Term Fuel Trim
and MAF

NOTE:
DO NOT DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. IT WILL ERASE KEEP ALIVE MEMORY AND RESET
LONG TERM FUEL TRIM AND BARO TO THEIR STARTING/BASE VALUES. THE BARO
PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION DISPLAY (PID) IS USED FOR THIS DIAGNOSTIC
PROCEDURE. ALL OBDII APPLICATIONS HAVE THIS PID AVAILABLE. THERE ARE SOME
OBDI VEHICLES THAT DO NOT HAVE THE BARO PID, FOR THESE VEHICLES OMIT THE
BARO CHECK AND REFER ONLY TO STEPS 2, 3, AND 4 IN THE DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE.

1. Look at the BARO PID. Refer to the Barometric Pressure Reference Chart in this article. At sea
level, BARO should read about 159 Hz (29.91 in. Hg). As a reference, Denver, Colorado at 1524
meters (5000 ft.) altitude should be about 144 Hz (24.88 in.Hg). Normal learned BARO variability is
up to +/- 6 Hz (+/- 2 in. Hg.). If BARO indicates a higher altitude than you are not at (7 or more Hz
lower than expected), you may have MAF contamination. If available, Service Bay Diagnostic
System (SBDS) has a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor that can be used as a barometric
pressure reference. Use "MAP/BARO" test under "Powertrain," "Testers and Meters." Ignore the
hookup screen. Connect GP2 to the reference MAP on the following screen.
NOTE
REMEMBER THAT MOST WEATHER SERVICES REPORT A LOCAL BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED TO SEA LEVEL. THE BARO PID, ON THE OTHER
HAND, REPORTS THE ACTUAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE FOR THE ALTITUDE THE
VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED IN. LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS (HIGH AND LOW
PRESSURE AREAS) WILL CHANGE THE LOCAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BY SEVERAL
INCHES OF MERCURY (+/- 3 Hz, +/- 1 in. Hg.).
NOTE
BARO IS UPDATED ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGH THROTTLE OPENINGS.
THEREFORE, A VEHICLE WHICH IS DRIVEN DOWN FROM A HIGHER ALTITUDE MAY NOT
HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE BARO VALUE IN KAM. IF YOU ARE NOT
CONFIDENT THAT BARO HAS BEEN UPDATED, PERFORM THREE OR FOUR HEAVY,
SUSTAINED ACCELERATIONS AT GREATER THAN HALF-THROTTLE TO ALLOW BARO TO
UPDATE.
2. On a fully warmed up engine, look at Long Term Fuel Trim at idle, in Neutral, A/C off, (LONGFT1
and/or LONGFT2 PIDs). If it is more negative than -12%, the fuel system has learned lean
corrections which may be due to the MAF sensor over-estimating air flow at idle. Note that both
Banks 1 and 2 will exhibit negative corrections for 2-bank system. If only one bank of a 2-bank
system has negative corrections, the MAF sensor is probably not contaminated.
3. On a fully warmed up engine, look at MAF voltage at idle, in Neutral, A/C off (MAF V PID). If it's
30% greater than the nominal MAF V voltage listed in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis
(PC/ED) Diagnostic Value Reference Charts for your vehicle, or greater than 1.1 volts as a rough
guide, the MAF sensor is over-estimating air flow at idle.
4. If at least tow of the previous three steps are true, proceed to disconnect the MAF sensor
connector. This puts the vehicle into Failure Mode and Effects Management (FMEM). In FMEM
mode, air flow is inferred by using rpm and throttle position instead of reading the MAF sensor. (In
addition, the BARO value is reset to a base/unlearned value.) If the lean driveability symptoms go
away, the MAF sensor is probably contaminated and should be replaced. If the lean driveability
symptoms do not go away, go to the PC/ED Service Manual for the appropriate diagnostics.
NOTE
DUE TO INCREASINGLY STRINGENT EMISSION/OBDII REQUIREMENTS, IT IS POSSIBLE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH MAF SENSOR CONTAMINATION TO SET FUEL SYSTEM DTCs
AND ILLUMINATE THE MIL WITH NO DRIVEABILITY CONCERNS. DISCONNECTING THE MAF
ON THESE VEHICLES WILL, THEREFORE, PRODUCE NO IMPROVEMENTS IN
DRIVEABILITY. IN THESE CASES, IF THE BARO, LONGFT1, LONGFT2, AND MAF V PIDs
INDICATE THAT THE MAF IS CONTAMINATED, PROCEED TO REPLACE THE MAF SENSOR.
After replacing the MAF sensor, disconnect the vehicle battery (5 minutes, minimum to reset KAM,
or on newer vehicles, use the "KAM Reset" feature on the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester and
verify that the lean driveability symptoms are gone.

Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow Sensor
PURPOSE
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor measures the total volume and mass of air flowing into the
engine. This value is one of the major factors used by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in
determining the fuel injection base pulse width and ignition timing advance.
CONSTRUCTION
The MAF sensor is located directly in the air flow path between the air cleaner housing and the
throttle body. The sensor is designed and located such that all air entering the intake manifold must
flow through it. Located in the MAF sensor directly in the airstream are two platinum wires, a hot
wire heated by electrical current and a cold reference wire. The MAF sensor uses the air flow
across these wires to calculate its output.
OPERATION
The MAF sensor operates on the principle that if the hot wire is maintained at a constant
temperature above ambient, the thermal loss exhibited by the hot wire is proportional to the total
mass of air flowing across it.
The sensor maintains the hot wire exactly 200°C (392°F) hotter than the reference (cold) wire. The
MAF sensor then measures the amount of electrical current required to maintain this temperature
difference and converts this value to an analog DC voltage. This output varies directly with the
mass air flow rate and ranges from 0.5 to 4.5 volts.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 129 - Insufficient MAF sensor output change during the dynamic response (snap throttle) test.
DTC 157 - MAF sensor output went below the minimum value of 0.4 volts (continuous memory
code).
DTC 158 - MAF sensor output went above the maximum value of 4.5 volts (continuous memory
code).
DTC 159 - MAF sensor output was measured out of range during a self-test, >0.7 volts during the
Key On Engine Off (KOEO) test and not between 0.2-1.5 volts during the Key On Engine Running
(KOER) test.
DTC 184 - MAF sensor output is higher than expected.
DTC 185 - MAF sensor output is lower than expected.
Note: DTC 184, 185 were intended to detect in-range failures of the MAF sensor. The PCM
compares information from the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, throttle position sensor, and fuel
injection pulse width. If any one value appears to be out of line with the other two an in-range
trouble code will be set.

FORD: 1990-1997 AEROSTAR 1990-2000 EXPLORER, RANGER
ISSUE Some vehicles equipped with the 4.0L OHV engine may exhibit an engine noise which may
be perceived by the customer as a piston/connecting rod bearing knock. This carbon knock is
heard only under load during the drive cycle. Carbon knock is a customer drive duty-cycle
phenomenon that cannot be repaired with an engine exchange. This may be caused by carbon
build-up within the combustion chamber.
ACTION Verify condition. If normal diagnostics fail to correct the condition, de-carbon the
combustion chamber to help quiet the carbon knock noise. Refer to the following Service
Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Use Motorcraft Carburetor Tune-up Cleaner PM-3.
2. Carbon removal: a.
Disconnect canister purge line from throttle body.
b. Attach a vacuum line to the canister purge port.
c. At hot engine idle, allow the engine to ingest 1/2 to 2/3 of a can of Motorcraft Carburetor Tune-up
Cleaner. Use caution not to ingest too quickly due to potential hydro-lock issues.
d Shut engine off and allow it to soak for one hour.
e. Start engine, allow engine to ingest the remainder of the Motorcraft Carburetor Tune-up Gleaner.
f. Remove vacuum line and re-install canister purge line.
g. Road test vehicle at 3500 RPM for 2-3 miles.
h. Repeat above procedure two times for a total of three times.
i. Change oil and filter.
3. Review the customers' driving habits. The recommended drive cycle should include daily periods
of engine operation above 3,000 RPM, such as a brisk acceleration from a stop position. This will
break/burn the carbon off the piston head.
4. Use regular unleaded fuel, 87 Octane. Mid-grade and Premium fuels may increase the
probability of carbon buildup, leading to a knock noise.

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

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

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Fuel: > 96107 > May > 96 > Fuel - California Reformulated
Gasoline > Page 3214
^ reduced benzene by about one-half
IS CaRFG MORE HAZARDOUS THAN CONVENTIONAL GASOLINES?
CaRFG is a hazardous substance like conventional gasoline. Precautions should continue to be
taken to avoid exposure to vapors or liquid when it is pumped or handled. It should never be
siphoned or swallowed.
HOW WILL CaRFG AFFECT VEHICLE PERFORMANCE?
Properly blended CaRFG should have no adverse effect on vehicle performance or the durability of
engine and fuel system components. Its basic properties are not significantly different than other
cleaner burning gasolines that have been used in the U.S. for several years.
If the vehicle is a certified California calibration 1996 or later model year, it was designed to operate
on CaRFG gasoline. The vehicle will operate satisfactorily on gasolines in the other 49 states, but
emission control system performance may be affected. Using gasolines other than CaRFG have
substantially increased emissions from motor vehicles.
WILL THE USE OF CaRFG AFFECT CALIFORNIA VEHICLE WARRANTY?
No. The coverage of Ford's new vehicle warranty is not affected. In fact, Ford Owner Guides have
consistently approved the use of properly blended reformulated gasolines containing oxygenates.
Further information about properly fueling your vehicle is included in the Owner Guide.
WILL FUEL ECONOMY BE AFFECTED?
A very small reduction in fuel economy of less than one-half mile per gallon is possible if the
customer was using gasoline without oxygenates. This is attributed to the lower energy content of
oxygenates which have been in all Southern California gasolines since January of 1995 and in
some gasolines since the 1970's.
Many factors affect fuel economy like driving habits, vehicle maintenance, weather conditions, etc.
Fuel economy can vary by more than a mile per gallon from one fill-up to the next with the same
gasolines.
For further details see TSB Article 95-12-2 for customer expectations regarding fuel economy.
ARE SPECIAL ADDITIVES NECESSARY FOR CaRFG?
No. It is not necessary to add anything to the vehicle fuel tank after the gasoline is purchased from
the service station. California regulations require deposit control additives in CaRFG to minimize
port fuel injector and intake valve deposits.
WILL OLDER VEHICLES OPERATE SATISFACTORILY WITH THE NEW CaRFG?
Older vehicles are expected to operate satisfactorily on CaRFG because vehicles have been
operating on gasolines similar to CaRFG for a number of years. However, considerable testing
indicates that older, high mileage vehicles are more susceptible to fuel system problems due to age
and normal wear and tear regardless of whether they are operated on conventional or CaRFG
gasolines. Owners of these older vehicles are encouraged to follow their vehicle manufacturer's
recommendations regarding vehicle maintenance.
WILL THE SMELL BE DIFFERENT THAN CONVENTIONAL GASOLINE?
CaRFG is not expected to smell different than the gasoline most vehicles are currently using. If an
unusual odor is noticed, it would probably be from oxygenates. Most service stations use vapor
recovery systems to minimize the release of gasoline vapors while refueling.
The use of CaRFG should result in little or no "rotten egg" smell from the exhaust because CaRFG
has much lower sulfur than conventional gasoline.
WAS CaRFG TESTED BEFORE INTRODUCTION?
It was tested for over five million miles in more than 800 vehicles under the guidance of CARB
including experts representing automobile manufacturers, gasoline suppliers, fleet operations and
government. There was no increase in problems identified with the use of CaRFG.
DOES CaRFG COST MORE?
The price at the pump cannot be accurately predicted, although a modest increase is likely. The
price of CaRFG is subject to the competitive forces in the marketplace. Many factors including
production costs, supply and demand, weather, crude oil prices, and taxes affect gasoline prices.
WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION ON CaRFG?
Additional information within the state of California on CaRFG is available from the California Air
Resources Board toll-free at 1-800-922-7349 (within California only).

Fuel: Testing and Inspection
PREPARATION
Obtain a fuel sample from the bottom of the fuel tank so that any water present will be detected.
The sample should be bright and clear. If the sample appears cloudy or contaminated with water
(indicated by a layer at the bottom of the sample), this procedure should not be used and fuel
system should be cleaned.
TESTING
1. Fill a 100 ml cylinder with 1 ml graduation marks to the 90 ml mark.
2. Add 10 ml of water to bring the total fluid volume to 100 ml. Install a stopper.
3. Shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds.
4. Loosen stopper to release pressure.
5. Close stopper and repeat shaking for 10 to 15 seconds.
6. Place the cylinder on a level surface for approximately 5 minutes to allow adequate liquid
separation.
RESULTS EVALUATION
If alcohol is present, the volume of the lower layer (now containing both alcohol and water) will be
greater than 10 ml.
For example, if lower layer volume is increased to 15 ml, it indicates at least 5 percent alcohol in
the fuel. The actual amount of alcohol may be somewhat greater because this procedure does not
extract all alcohol from fuel.
Allowable Alcohol/Fuel Concentration
Alcohol/Fuel Type % by Volume
Methanol (Wood Alcohol) 5.0%
Ethanol (Grain Alcohol) 10.0%
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) 15.0%

Fuel Filler Cap: Description and Operation
Fuel Tank Pressure/Vacuum Filler Cap
PURPOSE
Provides slight pressure on the fuel reducing the evaporation rate and vacuum relief functions that
allows the tank to vent.
OPERATION
Under normal operating conditions, the fill cap operates as a check valve preventing vapors from
escaping the tank through the cap. Fuel system vacuum relief is provided after approximately -3.4
kPa (-0.5 psi) is reached inside the tank. Pressure relief is provided when pressure inside the tank
builds up approximately 11.1-14.4 kPa (1.6-2.1 psi).
CONSTRUCTION
The threaded screw-on design cap incorporates an integral pressure-vacuum relief valve.
The fuel tank filler cap is a threaded screw-on with a pre-vent feature that allows the fuel tank to
vent for the first three-quarter turn before unthreading.
The fuel tank filler cap is fitted with a torque-limiting ratchet to prevent difficulty in removal. When
installing the fuel tank filler cap, continue to turn clockwise until ratchet mechanism gives off three
or more loud clicks.
Fuel tank filler caps are attached to the vehicle with a tether using the fuel tank filler
pipe-to-housing screw.

Fuel Line Coupler: Description and Operation Spring Lock Coupler
Push Connect Fittings
PURPOSE
Spring lock couplers are used to connect fuel lines to fuel injection supply manifolds.
CONSTRUCTION
The spring lock coupling is a fuel 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 thus prevents the flared
end of the female fitting from pulling out of the cage. As a redundant locking feature, a horseshoe
shaped retaining clip is incorporated to improve the retaining reliability of the spring lock coupling.

Fuel Pressure Regulator: Description and Operation
Fuel Pressure Regulator
PURPOSE
The fuel pressure regulator controls fuel pressure supplied to the injectors. The regulator also traps
fuel during engine shutdown, thus eliminating the possibility of vapor formation in the fuel line, and
provides instant restarts and initial idle speed.
OPERATION
Balancing one side of the diaphragm with manifold vacuum maintains a constant fuel pressure drop
across the injectors. Fuel in excess of that used by the engine is bypassed through the regulator
and returns to the fuel tank.
CONSTRUCTION
The regulator is a spring loaded diaphragm operated relief valve. One side of the diaphragm
senses fuel pressure and the other side is connected to intake manifold vacuum.

Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation
OPERATION
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) power relay is
energized, providing power to the fuel pump relay for 1 to 2 seconds through the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) and an Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch.
Fuel pump power is provided through the fuel pump relay contacts, if the PCM does not receive an
ignition signal within approximately one second after the ignition switch is turned to the "ON"
position. A timer circuit in the PCM will open the ground circuit to the fuel pump relay, causing the
fuel pump relay contacts to OPEN. This action stops the power supply to the fuel pump.
When the ignition switch is turned to the "START" position, the PCM closes the ground circuit to
the fuel pump relay, resuming operation of the fuel pump.
After the ignition switch is returned to the "ON" position, power to the fuel pump is supplied through
the fuel pump relay.
The PCM monitors engine speed and opens the fuel pump relay ground circuit if the engine speed
drops below 120 rpm.

Splicing Nylon to Nylon
Splicing Service Combinations
1. Relieve fuel system pressure. If necessary, drain fuel tank.
2. Cut out damaged section of tubing and retain as a guide.
3. Cut a section of service tubing (type 11 or 12 nylon available in 1/4 and 5/16-inch sizes) to the
same length as the damaged section of tubing.
NOTE: To make hand-insertion of the barbed connectors into the nylon easier, the tube end must
be soaked in a cup of boiling water for one minute immediately before pushing the barbs into the
nylon.
CAUTION: Do not use any heating method except hot water to repair nylon tubing. Temperatures
above 100°C (212°F) cause the nylon to soften and will not seal on the barbed connectors.
Replacing nylon line in the engine compartment requires heat protective Hypalon hose.

Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Idle Air Control (IAC) solenoid allows the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to accurately
control engine idle speed under a variety of conditions. The IAC solenoid is driven by an output
signal from the PCM and allows intake airflow to bypass the throttle plates.
In addition to normal idle speed control the IAC solenoid also functions as a deceleration dashpot
and allows for idle speed changes during periods of increased engine load (A/C, electrical).
The IAC solenoid also plays an integral role in Adaptive Strategy correction. The PCM monitors the
engine condition and adjusts the IAC calibration to correct for wear and aging of components.
NOTE: Whenever an IAC component is replaced or cleaned it is recommended that the Keep Alive
Memory (KAM) be be cleared. The vehicle may exhibit idle concerns until new adaptive values are
learned.
CONSTRUCTION
A duty cycle driven solenoid is directly linked to a reverse seated pintle valve.
Hitachi Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve And Solenoid
Hitachi With Vent/Filter This type of IAC solenoid is not serviceable and cannot be cleaned.
Idle Air Control Solenoid
OPERATION
The IAC solenoid receives a 12 volt signal from circuit VPWR. The ground supply to the IAC
solenoid is controlled by the PCM. The PCM controls the amount of IAC operation by varying the
duty cycle of the ground signal.
The IAC solenoid is linked directly to a pintle valve which controls the amount of intake airflow
allowed to bypass the throttle plates.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 412 Indicates that during the Key On Engine Running (KOER) self-test, engine rpm could not
be controlled within the self-test limit band.
DTC 415 Indicates the IAC adaptive learning has reached the minimum learning limit (the valve is
reducing air flow as much as possible).
DTC 416 Indicates the IAC adaptive learning has reached the maximum learning limit (the valve is
admitting as much air flow as possible).
NOTE: Idle speed surging commonly results when the IAC solenoid reaches the limits of its
operation. The IAC solenoid cannot compensate for the required change in idle speed which
results in the engine surging between the upper and lower limits of the IAC system.

Fuel Pump Inertia Switch: Description and Operation
Typical Inertia Fuel Shut-Off Switch
PURPOSE
The inertia switch is used to shut the fuel pump "OFF" in the event of a collision.
OPERATION
When a sharp impact occurs, the ball breaks loose from the magnet, rolls up a conical ramp and
strikes a target plate. This opens the electrical contacts of the switch and disrupts power to the
electric fuel pump. The engine will quit running within a few seconds after the fuel pump looses
power. The inertia switch must then be manually reset before the engine can be restarted.
CONSTRUCTION
The inertia switch consists of a steel ball held in place by a magnet.
WARNING: DO NOT reset the inertia switch button if you see or smell fuel.

Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation
OPERATION
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) power relay is
energized, providing power to the fuel pump relay for 1 to 2 seconds through the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) and an Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch.
Fuel pump power is provided through the fuel pump relay contacts, if the PCM does not receive an
ignition signal within approximately one second after the ignition switch is turned to the "ON"
position. A timer circuit in the PCM will open the ground circuit to the fuel pump relay, causing the
fuel pump relay contacts to OPEN. This action stops the power supply to the fuel pump.
When the ignition switch is turned to the "START" position, the PCM closes the ground circuit to
the fuel pump relay, resuming operation of the fuel pump.
After the ignition switch is returned to the "ON" position, power to the fuel pump is supplied through
the fuel pump relay.
The PCM monitors engine speed and opens the fuel pump relay ground circuit if the engine speed
drops below 120 rpm.

Rollover Valve: Description and Operation
Fuel Vapor Valve
PURPOSE
Permits fuel vapors to be vented to the charcoal canister, while restricting liquid fuel. In the event of
vehicle roll-over, the float closes off the valve, preventing fuel from escaping and saturating the
charcoal canister.
OPERATION
Fuel vapors generated, enter the valve from the bottom, rise upward past the float, and out through
a single vapor line to the carbon canister.
If liquid fuel enters the valve assembly, the float will rise upward and close the orifice. As fuel is
drained back into the fuel tank, the spring attached to underside of valve pulls the float downward,
exposing the orifice.

ISSUE This TSB article is a diagnostic procedure to address vehicles that exhibit lean driveability
symptoms and may or may not have any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored in memory.
ACTION Follow the diagnostic procedures described in the following Service Tip. The revised
diagnostic procedure is a more accurate means of diagnosing the symptoms.
SERVICE TIP
MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) DISCUSSION
MAF sensors can get contaminated from a variety of sources: dirt, oil, silicon, spider webs, potting
compound from the sensor itself, etc. When a MAF sensor gets contaminated, it skews the transfer
function such that the sensor over-estimates air flow at idle (causes the fuel system to go rich) and
under-estimates air flow at high air flows (causes fuel system to go lean). This means Long Term
Fuel Trims will learn lean (negative) corrections at idle and learn rich (positive) corrections at higher
air flows.
If vehicle is driven at Wide Open Throttle (WOT) or high loads, the fuel system normally goes open
loop rich to provide maximum power. If the MAF sensor is contaminated, the fuel system will
actually be lean because of under-estimated air flow. During open loop fuel operation, the vehicle
applies Long Term Fuel Trim corrections that have been learned during closed loop operation.
These corrections are often lean corrections learned at lower air flows. This combination of
under-estimated air flow and lean fuel trim corrections can result in spark knock/detonation and
lack of power concerns at WOT and high loads.
One of the indicators for diagnosing this condition is barometric pressure. Barometric pressure
(BARO) is inferred by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software at part throttle and WOT
(there is no actual BARO sensor on MAF-equipped vehicles, except for the 3.8L Supercharged
engine). At high air flows, a contaminated MAF sensor will under-estimate air flow coming into the
engine, hence the PCM infers that the vehicle is operating at a higher altitude. The BARO reading
is stored in Keep Alive Memory (KAM) after it is updated. Other indicators are Long Term Fuel Trim
and MAF

1. Look at the BARO PID. Refer to the Barometric Pressure Reference Chart in this article. At sea
level, BARO should read about 159 Hz (29.91 in. Hg). As a reference, Denver, Colorado at 1524
meters (5000 ft.) altitude should be about 144 Hz (24.88 in.Hg). Normal learned BARO variability is
up to +/- 6 Hz (+/- 2 in. Hg.). If BARO indicates a higher altitude than you are not at (7 or more Hz
lower than expected), you may have MAF contamination. If available, Service Bay Diagnostic
System (SBDS) has a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor that can be used as a barometric
pressure reference. Use "MAP/BARO" test under "Powertrain," "Testers and Meters." Ignore the
hookup screen. Connect GP2 to the reference MAP on the following screen.
NOTE
REMEMBER THAT MOST WEATHER SERVICES REPORT A LOCAL BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED TO SEA LEVEL. THE BARO PID, ON THE OTHER
HAND, REPORTS THE ACTUAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE FOR THE ALTITUDE THE
VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED IN. LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS (HIGH AND LOW
PRESSURE AREAS) WILL CHANGE THE LOCAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BY SEVERAL
INCHES OF MERCURY (+/- 3 Hz, +/- 1 in. Hg.).
NOTE
BARO IS UPDATED ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGH THROTTLE OPENINGS.
THEREFORE, A VEHICLE WHICH IS DRIVEN DOWN FROM A HIGHER ALTITUDE MAY NOT
HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE BARO VALUE IN KAM. IF YOU ARE NOT
CONFIDENT THAT BARO HAS BEEN UPDATED, PERFORM THREE OR FOUR HEAVY,
SUSTAINED ACCELERATIONS AT GREATER THAN HALF-THROTTLE TO ALLOW BARO TO
UPDATE.
2. On a fully warmed up engine, look at Long Term Fuel Trim at idle, in Neutral, A/C off, (LONGFT1
and/or LONGFT2 PIDs). If it is more negative than -12%, the fuel system has learned lean
corrections which may be due to the MAF sensor over-estimating air flow at idle. Note that both
Banks 1 and 2 will exhibit negative corrections for 2-bank system. If only one bank of a 2-bank
system has negative corrections, the MAF sensor is probably not contaminated.
3. On a fully warmed up engine, look at MAF voltage at idle, in Neutral, A/C off (MAF V PID). If it's
30% greater than the nominal MAF V voltage listed in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis
(PC/ED) Diagnostic Value Reference Charts for your vehicle, or greater than 1.1 volts as a rough
guide, the MAF sensor is over-estimating air flow at idle.
4. If at least tow of the previous three steps are true, proceed to disconnect the MAF sensor
connector. This puts the vehicle into Failure Mode and Effects Management (FMEM). In FMEM
mode, air flow is inferred by using rpm and throttle position instead of reading the MAF sensor. (In
addition, the BARO value is reset to a base/unlearned value.) If the lean driveability symptoms go
away, the MAF sensor is probably contaminated and should be replaced. If the lean driveability
symptoms do not go away, go to the PC/ED Service Manual for the appropriate diagnostics.
NOTE
DUE TO INCREASINGLY STRINGENT EMISSION/OBDII REQUIREMENTS, IT IS POSSIBLE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH MAF SENSOR CONTAMINATION TO SET FUEL SYSTEM DTCs
AND ILLUMINATE THE MIL WITH NO DRIVEABILITY CONCERNS. DISCONNECTING THE MAF
ON THESE VEHICLES WILL, THEREFORE, PRODUCE NO IMPROVEMENTS IN
DRIVEABILITY. IN THESE CASES, IF THE BARO, LONGFT1, LONGFT2, AND MAF V PIDs
INDICATE THAT THE MAF IS CONTAMINATED, PROCEED TO REPLACE THE MAF SENSOR.
After replacing the MAF sensor, disconnect the vehicle battery (5 minutes, minimum to reset KAM,
or on newer vehicles, use the "KAM Reset" feature on the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester and
verify that the lean driveability symptoms are gone.

Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow Sensor
PURPOSE
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor measures the total volume and mass of air flowing into the
engine. This value is one of the major factors used by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in
determining the fuel injection base pulse width and ignition timing advance.
CONSTRUCTION
The MAF sensor is located directly in the air flow path between the air cleaner housing and the
throttle body. The sensor is designed and located such that all air entering the intake manifold must
flow through it. Located in the MAF sensor directly in the airstream are two platinum wires, a hot
wire heated by electrical current and a cold reference wire. The MAF sensor uses the air flow
across these wires to calculate its output.
OPERATION
The MAF sensor operates on the principle that if the hot wire is maintained at a constant
temperature above ambient, the thermal loss exhibited by the hot wire is proportional to the total
mass of air flowing across it.
The sensor maintains the hot wire exactly 200°C (392°F) hotter than the reference (cold) wire. The
MAF sensor then measures the amount of electrical current required to maintain this temperature
difference and converts this value to an analog DC voltage. This output varies directly with the
mass air flow rate and ranges from 0.5 to 4.5 volts.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 129 - Insufficient MAF sensor output change during the dynamic response (snap throttle) test.
DTC 157 - MAF sensor output went below the minimum value of 0.4 volts (continuous memory
code).
DTC 158 - MAF sensor output went above the maximum value of 4.5 volts (continuous memory
code).
DTC 159 - MAF sensor output was measured out of range during a self-test, >0.7 volts during the
Key On Engine Off (KOEO) test and not between 0.2-1.5 volts during the Key On Engine Running
(KOER) test.
DTC 184 - MAF sensor output is higher than expected.
DTC 185 - MAF sensor output is lower than expected.
Note: DTC 184, 185 were intended to detect in-range failures of the MAF sensor. The PCM
compares information from the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, throttle position sensor, and fuel
injection pulse width. If any one value appears to be out of line with the other two an in-range
trouble code will be set.

Fuel Pump Inertia Switch: Description and Operation
Typical Inertia Fuel Shut-Off Switch
PURPOSE
The inertia switch is used to shut the fuel pump "OFF" in the event of a collision.
OPERATION
When a sharp impact occurs, the ball breaks loose from the magnet, rolls up a conical ramp and
strikes a target plate. This opens the electrical contacts of the switch and disrupts power to the
electric fuel pump. The engine will quit running within a few seconds after the fuel pump looses
power. The inertia switch must then be manually reset before the engine can be restarted.
CONSTRUCTION
The inertia switch consists of a steel ball held in place by a magnet.
WARNING: DO NOT reset the inertia switch button if you see or smell fuel.

ISSUE: The following Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) TSB has been developed for service use.
This TSB includes the following topics:
^ Description And Background Of TPS
^ (A1) and (A2) - Diagnostic Trouble Codes (Service Tips)
^ (B) Troubleshooting The TPS
^ (C) TPS Application Charts
ACTION: If TPS diagnosis or repair is required, refer to the following procedures for service details.
Description
The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is a rotary potentiometer that provides a voltage signal to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that is linearly proportional to the throttle plate/shaft angular
position. The TP sensor has a three-blade electrical connector that is plated. The plating increases
the corrosion resistance on terminals and increases the connector durability. The TP sensor is
mounted on the throttle body and is non-adjustable. As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle
shaft, four (4) operating conditions are determined by the PCM from the TP sensor.
The four (4) vehicle operating conditions are:
^ Closed throttle (idle or deceleration)
^ Part throttle (cruise, moderate acceleration)
^ Wide open throttle (maximum acceleration, de-choke on crank and A/C shut-off)
^ Throttle angle rate.
Background
Recently, revisions have been made to the TPS, which have improved reliability and durability.

A key difference between EEC-IV, OBD I and EEC-V, OBD II is the monitors. EEC-IV monitors are
designed to identify system and component issues. EEC-V monitors are designed to measure the
ability of systems and components to maintain low emission levels.
To minimize the replacement of good components, be advised that the following non-EEC areas
may be the issue:
^ Excessive blow-by
^ PCV malfunction
^ Vacuum leaks
^ Fuel pressure
^ Throttle sticking or linkage binding.
(A2) - EEC-IV Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)
When a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 121, 124 or 125 are set in continuous memory, the
technician is directed to Pinpoint Test G of the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED)
Manual. Pinpoint Test G is named: In-Range MAF/TP/Fuel lnjector Pulse Width Test. The
description of the test is as follows:
^ EEC-IV DTC Code 121, 124, and 125 Description.
This In-Range Self-Test was designed to identify in-range concerns of the MAF sensor, TP sensor,
or the fuel delivery system. The PCM will use information from these three (3) areas based on
vehicle load to generate three (3) independent values. The three (3) independent values will be
continuously monitored by the PCM. If one (1) of the values differs significantly from the others
during normal vehicle operation, a Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be
stored.
EEC codes for the TPS are intended as a supplemental aid to diagnostics. They do not indicate the
root cause since more than one (1) component can set the same code.
For example: EEC-IV, OBD I Codes 122 and 123 and EEC-V, OBD II Codes P0122 and P0123 for
"TP circuit too low" or "TP circuit too high", limit the condition to the TP circuit, connector, or vehicle
harness.
EEC-IV, OBD I Codes: 121, "TP inconsistent with air meter", 124, "TP higher than expected", 125,
"TP lower than expected" and OBD II Code P1121, "TP inconsistent with MAF sensor" are a result
of a comparison of the TP signal to a given airflow. Any un-metered air (downstream of MAF) that
enters the engine, either due to a mechanical situation or electrical sensor condition, may result in
these codes. PC/ED Pinpoint Tests will guide you to the root cause and avoid customer repeat
repairs.
EEC-IV (OBD I) Codes 124 and 125 are set in memory as follows: Codes 124-125 are a
comparison of a given airflow to the TPS voltage (throttle plate position).
Code 124: The PCM has indicated that the airflow rate is too low for the position of the throttle plate
angle.
Causes for EEC-IV, OBD I Code 124:
Air bypass solenoid flow low/blocked (MAF may indicate low during the event).
^ Throttle body obstructed.
^ EGR flow low.
^ TPS circuit concern when accompanied by Codes 122 or 123.
^ BP sensor low.
Code 125: The PCM has indicated that the airflow rate is too high for the position of the throttle
plate.
Causes of EEC-IV, OBD I Code 125:
Air bypass solenoid high/stuck open (MAF may indicate high during this event).
^ EGR flow high.
^ TPS circuit concern when accompanied by Codes 122 or 123.
^ BP sensor high.
These codes are designed to set while in the part throttle drive mode, and often the MIL light
flashes on and off until the condition is gone. In some cases, it is difficult to repeat the codes in a
test drive since the PCM requires a long drive time to calculate the error in the system. At other
times, it may be difficult to repeat because the condition that set the code may be intermittent.
Pinpoint Test G of the PC/ED Manual will guide you to the root cause.
Causes of EEC Codes 122: TPS sensor circuit voltage above maximum.
Causes of EEC codes 123: TPS sensor circuit voltage below minimum.

^ Harness damage.
^ Connector damage or water in connector.
^ Defective TPS, open or short.
^ Check VREF for correct output.
^ Throttle plate not closing.
(B) - Troubleshooting the TPS
The following is a list of vehicle symptoms which have been associated with the TPS, but can also
be related to other vehicle components.
^ Check engine light
^ Stalls/quits
^ Hesitation/stumble
^ Fast idle
If an EEC error code has identified the TPS as suspect, perform PC/ED Manual pinpoint tests on
the TPS.
Testing the TPS in the vehicle electrical circuit:
The TPS is supplied with a 5.0 volt reference signal. As the TPS senses throttle plate rotation, the
output voltage changes to a value in the range of 0.4 volts to 4.8 volts depending on vehicle
application. A voltmeter, New Generation Star Tester (NGS) or Service Bay Diagnostics System
(SBDS) is the recommended test equipment for checking the TPS output.
The reason SBDS or NGS are the preferred tools is that they allow TPS voltage monitoring without
disturbing the connector. Many conditions can be caused by loose, dirty, oxidized, or poor
connections that may correct themselves for a short time if the connector is disturbed during
testing. This can mislead technicians into replacing a TPS that is okay, and the true cause, a bad
connection, may return at some future time.

Measuring the TPS voltage at idle is key when diagnosing a TPS since most of its operational life is
within 10 degrees of idle. Figures 2 and 3 include a guide to TPS output voltages for 1993-95
model year vehicles.

Figure 1 is a graph that shows how the TPS output voltage changes between engine idle and WOT
conditions.
The TPS voltage increases when the throttle is depressed. Idle is typically in the 0.4 volt to 1.2 volt
range. (Refer to idle voltage range chart.) As the TPS senses plate rotation toward Wide Open
Throttle (WOT), the voltage increases. WOT is typically in the 4.0 volt range. A voltmeter, NGS, or
SBDS is the recommended test equipment for checking the TPS output.
CAUTION:
MANY VOLTMETERS WILL AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE RANGES WHEN MEASURING TPS
OUTPUT FROM IDLE TO WOT. WHEN A VOLTMETER IS USED TO MEASURE TPS OUTPUT
FROM IDLE TO WOT, THE METER SCALES OR CHANGES RANGES AUTOMATICALLY.
THERE MAY BE AN ERRONEOUS METER DISPLAY UNTIL THE VOLTMETER HAS LOCKED
TO THE APPROPRIATE VOLTAGE READING. THE ERRONEOUS METER DISPLAY DOES
NOT REPRESENT A DEFECTIVE TPS.
NOTE:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE "RANGE LOCK' FEATURE ON MANY METERS BE SET FOR
CHECKING TPS VOLTAGE.

Use the 0.00 range to measure TPS voltage.
If your voltmeter does not change ranges automatically and the meter is set to millivolt scale when
reading full range voltages, the meter display may not indicate a valid value. This can be
misinterpreted as an open circuit or suspect TPS. Ensure the meter is set to volts for measuring full
range voltage levels.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a rotary potentiometer that determines throttle plate angle. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) determines operating modes from the TP signal. These are: Closed throttle, idle or deceleration
- Part throttle, cruise or moderate acceleration
- Wide open throttle, maximum acceleration, dechoke on crank and A/C cutout
- Throttle angle rate, acceleration pump type function
- Transmission shift schedule
CONSTRUCTION
The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body and is directly linked to the throttle shaft. The TP
sensor is composed of a wiper arm that moves along a curved resistor.
OPERATION
The TP sensor measures travel of the throttle shaft to produce a continuously variable output signal
proportional to the throttle plate position.
Throttle Position Sensor Schematic
The potentiometer functions as a voltage divider. A 5.0 volt reference signal is applied to one end
(VREF) of a curved resistance material, with the other end grounded along the SIG RTN circuit.
The TP sensor output signal is taken off a wiper arm (mechanically linked to the throttle shaft) that
travels along the entire length of the curved resistor
At closed throttle the TP wiper arm is nearer the ground side of the resistor resulting in a lower
output, 0.6 volts at 0% throttle angle.
At wide open throttle the TP wiper arm is nearer the reference voltage side of the resistor resulting
in a higher output, 4.5 volts at 85% throttle angle.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 23/121 - TP sensor output is out of the self-test range.
DTC 63/122 - TP sensor output is below the minimum self-test value.
DTC 53/123 - TP sensor output is above the maximum self-test value.
DTC 124 - TP sensor output is higher than expected.
DTC 125 - TP sensor output is lower than expected.
Note: DTC 124, 125 were intended to detect in-range failures of the TP sensor. The PCM
compares information from the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, TP sensor, and fuel injection pulse
width. If any one value appears to be out of line with the other two an in-range trouble code will be
set.

Throttle Body Assembly
PURPOSE
The throttle body provides control of engine airflow in all driving modes, except at idle speeds. The
idle air control valve provides supplemental airflow to maintain the proper engine idle speed.
CONSTRUCTION
The single-piece aluminum die cast body has a single bore with an air bypass channel around the
throttle plate. This bypass channel controls both cold and warm engine idle airflow control as
regulated by an idle air control valve mounted directly to the body.
Other features of the throttle body include:
- Throttle angle is controlled by multiple-link, progressive opening throttle linkage.
- A pre-set stop to locate the Wide Open Throttle (WOT) position.
- A throttle body mounted throttle position sensor.

ISSUE: The following Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) TSB has been developed for service use.
This TSB includes the following topics:
^ Description And Background Of TPS
^ (A1) and (A2) - Diagnostic Trouble Codes (Service Tips)
^ (B) Troubleshooting The TPS
^ (C) TPS Application Charts
ACTION: If TPS diagnosis or repair is required, refer to the following procedures for service details.
Description
The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is a rotary potentiometer that provides a voltage signal to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that is linearly proportional to the throttle plate/shaft angular
position. The TP sensor has a three-blade electrical connector that is plated. The plating increases
the corrosion resistance on terminals and increases the connector durability. The TP sensor is
mounted on the throttle body and is non-adjustable. As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle
shaft, four (4) operating conditions are determined by the PCM from the TP sensor.
The four (4) vehicle operating conditions are:
^ Closed throttle (idle or deceleration)
^ Part throttle (cruise, moderate acceleration)
^ Wide open throttle (maximum acceleration, de-choke on crank and A/C shut-off)
^ Throttle angle rate.
Background
Recently, revisions have been made to the TPS, which have improved reliability and durability.

A key difference between EEC-IV, OBD I and EEC-V, OBD II is the monitors. EEC-IV monitors are
designed to identify system and component issues. EEC-V monitors are designed to measure the
ability of systems and components to maintain low emission levels.
To minimize the replacement of good components, be advised that the following non-EEC areas
may be the issue:
^ Excessive blow-by
^ PCV malfunction
^ Vacuum leaks
^ Fuel pressure
^ Throttle sticking or linkage binding.
(A2) - EEC-IV Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)
When a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 121, 124 or 125 are set in continuous memory, the
technician is directed to Pinpoint Test G of the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED)
Manual. Pinpoint Test G is named: In-Range MAF/TP/Fuel lnjector Pulse Width Test. The
description of the test is as follows:
^ EEC-IV DTC Code 121, 124, and 125 Description.
This In-Range Self-Test was designed to identify in-range concerns of the MAF sensor, TP sensor,
or the fuel delivery system. The PCM will use information from these three (3) areas based on
vehicle load to generate three (3) independent values. The three (3) independent values will be
continuously monitored by the PCM. If one (1) of the values differs significantly from the others
during normal vehicle operation, a Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be
stored.
EEC codes for the TPS are intended as a supplemental aid to diagnostics. They do not indicate the
root cause since more than one (1) component can set the same code.
For example: EEC-IV, OBD I Codes 122 and 123 and EEC-V, OBD II Codes P0122 and P0123 for
"TP circuit too low" or "TP circuit too high", limit the condition to the TP circuit, connector, or vehicle
harness.
EEC-IV, OBD I Codes: 121, "TP inconsistent with air meter", 124, "TP higher than expected", 125,
"TP lower than expected" and OBD II Code P1121, "TP inconsistent with MAF sensor" are a result
of a comparison of the TP signal to a given airflow. Any un-metered air (downstream of MAF) that
enters the engine, either due to a mechanical situation or electrical sensor condition, may result in
these codes. PC/ED Pinpoint Tests will guide you to the root cause and avoid customer repeat
repairs.
EEC-IV (OBD I) Codes 124 and 125 are set in memory as follows: Codes 124-125 are a
comparison of a given airflow to the TPS voltage (throttle plate position).
Code 124: The PCM has indicated that the airflow rate is too low for the position of the throttle plate
angle.
Causes for EEC-IV, OBD I Code 124:
Air bypass solenoid flow low/blocked (MAF may indicate low during the event).
^ Throttle body obstructed.
^ EGR flow low.
^ TPS circuit concern when accompanied by Codes 122 or 123.
^ BP sensor low.
Code 125: The PCM has indicated that the airflow rate is too high for the position of the throttle
plate.
Causes of EEC-IV, OBD I Code 125:
Air bypass solenoid high/stuck open (MAF may indicate high during this event).
^ EGR flow high.
^ TPS circuit concern when accompanied by Codes 122 or 123.
^ BP sensor high.
These codes are designed to set while in the part throttle drive mode, and often the MIL light
flashes on and off until the condition is gone. In some cases, it is difficult to repeat the codes in a
test drive since the PCM requires a long drive time to calculate the error in the system. At other
times, it may be difficult to repeat because the condition that set the code may be intermittent.
Pinpoint Test G of the PC/ED Manual will guide you to the root cause.
Causes of EEC Codes 122: TPS sensor circuit voltage above maximum.
Causes of EEC codes 123: TPS sensor circuit voltage below minimum.

^ Harness damage.
^ Connector damage or water in connector.
^ Defective TPS, open or short.
^ Check VREF for correct output.
^ Throttle plate not closing.
(B) - Troubleshooting the TPS
The following is a list of vehicle symptoms which have been associated with the TPS, but can also
be related to other vehicle components.
^ Check engine light
^ Stalls/quits
^ Hesitation/stumble
^ Fast idle
If an EEC error code has identified the TPS as suspect, perform PC/ED Manual pinpoint tests on
the TPS.
Testing the TPS in the vehicle electrical circuit:
The TPS is supplied with a 5.0 volt reference signal. As the TPS senses throttle plate rotation, the
output voltage changes to a value in the range of 0.4 volts to 4.8 volts depending on vehicle
application. A voltmeter, New Generation Star Tester (NGS) or Service Bay Diagnostics System
(SBDS) is the recommended test equipment for checking the TPS output.
The reason SBDS or NGS are the preferred tools is that they allow TPS voltage monitoring without
disturbing the connector. Many conditions can be caused by loose, dirty, oxidized, or poor
connections that may correct themselves for a short time if the connector is disturbed during
testing. This can mislead technicians into replacing a TPS that is okay, and the true cause, a bad
connection, may return at some future time.

Measuring the TPS voltage at idle is key when diagnosing a TPS since most of its operational life is
within 10 degrees of idle. Figures 2 and 3 include a guide to TPS output voltages for 1993-95
model year vehicles.

Figure 1 is a graph that shows how the TPS output voltage changes between engine idle and WOT
conditions.
The TPS voltage increases when the throttle is depressed. Idle is typically in the 0.4 volt to 1.2 volt
range. (Refer to idle voltage range chart.) As the TPS senses plate rotation toward Wide Open
Throttle (WOT), the voltage increases. WOT is typically in the 4.0 volt range. A voltmeter, NGS, or
SBDS is the recommended test equipment for checking the TPS output.
CAUTION:
MANY VOLTMETERS WILL AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE RANGES WHEN MEASURING TPS
OUTPUT FROM IDLE TO WOT. WHEN A VOLTMETER IS USED TO MEASURE TPS OUTPUT
FROM IDLE TO WOT, THE METER SCALES OR CHANGES RANGES AUTOMATICALLY.
THERE MAY BE AN ERRONEOUS METER DISPLAY UNTIL THE VOLTMETER HAS LOCKED
TO THE APPROPRIATE VOLTAGE READING. THE ERRONEOUS METER DISPLAY DOES
NOT REPRESENT A DEFECTIVE TPS.
NOTE:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE "RANGE LOCK' FEATURE ON MANY METERS BE SET FOR
CHECKING TPS VOLTAGE.

Use the 0.00 range to measure TPS voltage.
If your voltmeter does not change ranges automatically and the meter is set to millivolt scale when
reading full range voltages, the meter display may not indicate a valid value. This can be
misinterpreted as an open circuit or suspect TPS. Ensure the meter is set to volts for measuring full
range voltage levels.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a rotary potentiometer that determines throttle plate angle. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) determines operating modes from the TP signal. These are: Closed throttle, idle or deceleration
- Part throttle, cruise or moderate acceleration
- Wide open throttle, maximum acceleration, dechoke on crank and A/C cutout
- Throttle angle rate, acceleration pump type function
- Transmission shift schedule
CONSTRUCTION
The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body and is directly linked to the throttle shaft. The TP
sensor is composed of a wiper arm that moves along a curved resistor.
OPERATION
The TP sensor measures travel of the throttle shaft to produce a continuously variable output signal
proportional to the throttle plate position.
Throttle Position Sensor Schematic
The potentiometer functions as a voltage divider. A 5.0 volt reference signal is applied to one end
(VREF) of a curved resistance material, with the other end grounded along the SIG RTN circuit.
The TP sensor output signal is taken off a wiper arm (mechanically linked to the throttle shaft) that
travels along the entire length of the curved resistor
At closed throttle the TP wiper arm is nearer the ground side of the resistor resulting in a lower
output, 0.6 volts at 0% throttle angle.
At wide open throttle the TP wiper arm is nearer the reference voltage side of the resistor resulting
in a higher output, 4.5 volts at 85% throttle angle.
RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DTC 23/121 - TP sensor output is out of the self-test range.
DTC 63/122 - TP sensor output is below the minimum self-test value.
DTC 53/123 - TP sensor output is above the maximum self-test value.
DTC 124 - TP sensor output is higher than expected.
DTC 125 - TP sensor output is lower than expected.
Note: DTC 124, 125 were intended to detect in-range failures of the TP sensor. The PCM
compares information from the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, TP sensor, and fuel injection pulse
width. If any one value appears to be out of line with the other two an in-range trouble code will be
set.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor provides base timing and engine speed information to the
Ignition Control Module (ICM). The ICM supplies this information to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) as the Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) signal. The PCM uses this information for fuel injector
timing and calculating ignition timing advance and dwell.
CONSTRUCTION
The CKP is a variable reluctance type sensor that monitors the movement of a 35 tooth wheel
located behind the crankshaft pulley.
EI Ignition System Oscilloscope Waveform
OPERATION
As the teeth on the crankshaft pass by the CKP a voltage is induced in the sensor. The CKP output
is a spiked sine wave that is proportional to crankshaft speed and position. The missing tooth (36
minus 1) design allows the ICM to synchronize the signal and select the correct coil to fire.

Hall Effect Sensor: Description and Operation
Profile Ignition Pickup
The Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) sensor is a Hall-effect type switch located in the distributor. It
sends the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) information on engine speed and crankshaft position.
The Hall device operates by the manipulation of magnetic fields. When a rotor vane ENTERS the
space between the two halves of the stator pick-up, the magnetic field is altered, turning ON the
signal to the PCM. When the vane LEAVES the stator gap, the magnetic field returns to normal,
and the signal to the PCM is turned OFF.

1. When removing spark plug wires from the spark plugs, use the spark plug wire remover
T74P-6666-A or equivalent. Grasp and twist the boot back and forth on the plug insulator to free
the boot.
2. Use the special tool or equivalent to pull the boot from the plug. Do not pull on the wire directly,
as it may become separated from the connector inside the boot.
3. To remove the wires from the coil pack, squeeze the locking tabs of the coil wire retainer and
remove using a twisting and pulling motion. Do not pull on the wire.
INSTALLATION:
CAUTION: Proper installation of spark plug wires is critical to vehicle operation. If one spark plug
wire is not properly installed on the spark plug or ignition coil, both spark plugs connected to that
coil may not fire under load.
1. Whenever a high tension wire is removed for any reason from a spark plug or ignition coil, or a
new high tension wire is installed, Silicone Dielectric Compound D7AZ-19A331-A or equivalent
must be applied to the boot prior to installation. Using a small tool, coat the entire interior surface of
the boot.
2. Install each wire on the proper ignition coil terminal. The terminal cylinder numbers are identified
on the ignition coil pack. Ensure that both coil boot retainer locking tabs have engaged.
3. Remove the wire retaining brackets from the old wiring set and install the brackets on the new
wires in the same position. Install the wires and retaining brackets on the engine.
4. Connect the wires to the proper Spark plugs.

Ignition Coil: Description and Operation
Ignition Coil
PURPOSE
The Electronic Ignition-High Data Rate System (EI) coils provide high voltage needed to jump the
gap of the spark plugs and ignite the air/fuel mixture.
CONSTRUCTION
The coil pack contains multiple coils. Each coil within a coil pack contains a primary and secondary
circuit.
Primary Windings
The windings in the primary circuit is wound on a silicon steel core bobbin. The primary circuit
grounds use the same ground through the DIS module.
Secondary Windings
The winding in the secondary circuit is on a segmented bobbin. The secondary winding uses
smaller gauge wire and more turns than the primary circuit. The secondary high tension towers are
connected in pairs.
OPERATION
The ignition coil fires two spark plugs simultaneously, one on the compression stroke and one on
the exhaust stroke.
Effective Spark
When a piston is on compression stroke, most of the ignition coil's available current jumps the gap
of the spark plug firing from the center electrode to side electrode, because the resistance is low.
Wasted Spark
When the companion piston is on exhaust stroke, the spark is wasted. Very little coil energy is
wasted. The companion plug fires from the side electrode to the center electrode.

Ignition Control Module: Description and Operation
EDIS Module
PURPOSE
The Electronic Distributorless Ignition System (EI), formerly (EDIS)module's primary function is to
deliver full energy spark at a crank angle targeted by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and to
provide the PCM with crankshaft position information.
DESCRIPTION
The EI control module is a twelve pin custom microprocessor-based thick film module. Although
each engine is very different in size and structure, ICM's for each engine are very similar. With the
exception of some pin assignments, basic operation of the EI systems for the different engines is
identical.
OPERATION
The EI control module (ICM) receives input from the Variable Reluctance Sensor (VRS) style
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor in order to identify the passing of the missing tooth on the VRS
trigger wheel.
Synchronization
The module is said to be "synchronized" when the missing tooth is found. Synchronization is
essential to the ICM in order to track the angular position of the crankshaft relative to a fixed
reference and when it should fire the proper coil.
Profile Ignition Pickup
Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) output is synthesized by the ICM using input from the VRS signal. The
PIP signal generated by the ICM indicates engine speed and crankshaft position to the PCM. The
PIP signal is used by the PCM so that it can enable fuel and spark functions and generate a Spark
Angle Word (SAW) signal.
Spark Angle Word
The SAW signal provides spark targeting information to the ICM. By decoding the SAW signal and
using the information it receives from the VRS, the ICM turns the coils on and off at correct times
and in proper sequence. The EI system operates at a high data rate so it can fire sparks more
accurately.

In-line Connector With Shorting Bar
PURPOSE The octane adjustment switch is used to retard the ignition timing approximately three
degrees to reduce detonation due to use of lower grade fuels.
OPERATION When the switch jumper is INSTALLED, the computed timing is normal. With the
jumper REMOVED, the timing computed is retarded approximately three degrees. This is done to
allow for optimum spark advance for effective combustion of the air/fuel mixture.

Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) output is synthesized by the ICM using input from the VRS signal. The
PIP signal generated by the ICM indicates engine speed and crankshaft position to the PCM. The
PIP signal is used by the PCM so that it can enable fuel and spark functions and generate a Spark
Angle Word (SAW) signal.
Spark Angle Word
The SAW signal provides spark targeting information to the ICM. By decoding the SAW signal and
using the information it receives from the VRS, the ICM turns the coils on and off at correct times
and in proper sequence. The EI system operates at a high data rate so it can fire sparks more
accurately.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation California
Camshaft Sensor
PURPOSE
In a Sequential Electronic Fuel Injection (SEFI) system each individual fuel injector is energized
just prior to the opening of its corresponding intake valve. The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is
used to identify when number 1 cylinder is on compression stroke and to generate the Cylinder
Identification (CID) signal. This CID signal allows the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to
sequence the fuel injectors in the correct order.
CONSTRUCTION
CMP is a single hall effect magnetic switch, activated by a single vane which is driven by the
camshaft.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor provides base timing and engine speed information to the
Ignition Control Module (ICM). The ICM supplies this information to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) as the Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) signal. The PCM uses this information for fuel injector
timing and calculating ignition timing advance and dwell.
CONSTRUCTION
The CKP is a variable reluctance type sensor that monitors the movement of a 35 tooth wheel
located behind the crankshaft pulley.
EI Ignition System Oscilloscope Waveform
OPERATION
As the teeth on the crankshaft pass by the CKP a voltage is induced in the sensor. The CKP output
is a spiked sine wave that is proportional to crankshaft speed and position. The missing tooth (36
minus 1) design allows the ICM to synchronize the signal and select the correct coil to fire.

Hall Effect Sensor: Description and Operation
Profile Ignition Pickup
The Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) sensor is a Hall-effect type switch located in the distributor. It
sends the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) information on engine speed and crankshaft position.
The Hall device operates by the manipulation of magnetic fields. When a rotor vane ENTERS the
space between the two halves of the stator pick-up, the magnetic field is altered, turning ON the
signal to the PCM. When the vane LEAVES the stator gap, the magnetic field returns to normal,
and the signal to the PCM is turned OFF.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch gives an indication of transmission load to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). This information is required for adjusting fuel/air ratio and idle speed.
OPERATION
When the transmission is in gear the PNP switch is normally open. This results in a high voltage on
the PNP output pin 30. When the transmission is shifted into neutral or park the PNP switch is
closed and ground is applied to PNP output pin 30.

Description and Operation
Transmission Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
The Transmission Speed Sensor (TSS), located within the transaxle oil pan, produces AC voltage
that is proportional to the speed of the transaxle's forward/reverse drum. Since this drum is
mechanically connected to the torque converter, the sensor is also measuring turbine speed. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses this input to determine upshift and downshift points.

ISSUE: Damage to overdrive and intermediate servos may occur if the servo heat shield is not
reinstalled after servicing A4LD transmissions with 4.0L engines.
ACTION: When servicing A4LD transmissions with 4.0L engines that require servo cover heat
shield removal, it is necessary that this heat shield be reinstalled to deflect heat generated by the
catalytic converter away from the transmission. Failure to do so may result in premature failure of
the overdrive, intermediate servos and transmission.

Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection Fluid Level Check
CHECKING OIL LEVEL
1. With transmission in Park, engine at curb idle RPM, foot brakes applied, and vehicle on a level
surface, move transmission selector lever through
each range. Allow time in each range for transmission to engage, then return to Park and apply
parking brake fully.
NOTE: If vehicle has been operated for an extended period at high speed, in city traffic during hot
weather, or pulling a trailer, the vehicle should be turned off for about 30 minutes to allow the fluid
to cool before checking.
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with 4X4 applications must have the 4X4 shift selector in any position
other than neutral.
CAUTION: Your vehicle should not be driven if the fluid level is below the bottom hole on the
dipstick and outside temperatures are above 10°C (50°F).
2. Clean all dirt from transmission dipstick cap. 3. Pull dipstick out of filler tube, wipe clean, and
push dipstick back all the way into the filler tube, ensuring it is full seated. 4. Pull dipstick out of
tube again and check fluid level as follows:
a. With transmission at operating temperature, 150° F-170° F, fluid level should be within the cross
hatched area. b. With transmission at room temperature, 70° F-95° F, fluid should be between
middle and top holes.
5. If it is necessary to add fluid, use only Dexron II or equivalent.
CAUTION: The use of fluid other than that specified could result in transmission malfunction and/or
failure.
6. Install dipstick, ensuring it is fully seated in tube.
Adding Fluid
1. The fluid type is stamped on the dipstick. Before adding any fluid, be sure that the correct type
will be used. 2. Add fluid in .25L (1/2 pint) increments through the filler tube to bring the level to the
correct area on the dipstick. If an overfill occurs, excess
fluid should be removed.
Overfill can cause the fluid to foam and spill out through the transmission vent resulting in a
transmission malfunction.
Undertill can result in transmission loss of engagement or slipping. This condition is most evident in
cold weather or when the vehicle is parked or being driven on a hill.
If the transmission fluid level is checked when the fluid is at room temperature the dipstick could
indicate that fluid should be added if the dipstick is misread. If fluid is added at this time, an overfill
condition could result when the fluid reaches operating temperatures of 66° C-77°C (150°F-170°F)
(dipstick hot to touch).

1. Ensure linkage is properly adjusted and fluid level and control pressure are within specifications.
2. Remove transmission dipstick from filler tube and insert funnel in tube. 3. Raise and support
vehicle. 4. Remove cooler return line from its fitting in the case, attach a hose to cooler return line
and fasten free end of hose in funnel installed in filler tube. 5. Start engine and set idle at 1,000
RPM with transmission in Neutral. 6. Observe fluid flow at funnel. When flow is constant, it should
be liberal. If there is not a liberal flow at 1,000 RPM in Neutral, low pump capacity,
main circuit system leakage, stuck converter charge relief valve, or cooler system restriction is
indicated.
7. To separate transmission trouble from cooler system trouble, observe flow at transmission case
converter-out fitting.

Fluid - A/T: Service and Repair
NOTE: MERCON Automatic Transmission Fluid is being replaced by MERCON V as a service
fluid.
FLUID CHANGE
NOTE: Normal maintenance and lubrication requirements do not necessitate periodic fluid
changes. If a major failure has occurred in the transmission, it will have to be removed for service.
At that time the converter, transmission cooler, and cooler lines must be flushed to remove any dirt.
If vehicle accumulates 5,000 or more miles per month or is used in continuous stop and go service,
change fluid every 30,000 miles as described. Procedures for partial drain and refill, due to
in-vehicle service operation, are as follows:
1. Loosen pan attaching bolts and drain fluid. 2. Remove and thoroughly clean pan and screen,
discarding pan gasket. 3. Place new gasket on pan and install pan on transmission. 4. Add 3 quarts
of fluid to transmission through filler tube. 5. Check fluid level following room normal operating
checking procedures.
NOTE: When filling a dry transmission and converter, approximate retill capacity is 9 quarts. Make
final check using normal operating temperature checking procedures.

Governor: Testing and Inspection
GOVERNOR TEST
NOTE: The governor can be checked at the same time as the Control Pressure Test is performed
and in the same manner.
1. Raise and support rear of vehicle, then disconnect and plug the vacuum line to the vacuum
diaphragm unit. 2. Connect the line from the distributor tester to the vacuum diaphragm unit and
install automatic transmission tester.
CAUTION: Never exceed 60 MPH speedometer speed.
3. Place transmission in D2, with no load on engine, and apply 10 inches of vacuum to vacuum
diaphragm unit. 4. Increase speed slowly and watch speedometer, noting speed at which control
pressure cutback occurs. It should occur between 8 and 12 mph. 5. Decrease vacuum at vacuum
diaphragm to 0.0-2.0 inches. Control pressure cutback should occur between 10 and 14 mph.
NOTE: After each test, move selector to N and run engine at 1,000 RPM to cool transmission.
6. The governor is good if cutback occurs within specifications. If cutback does not occur within
specifications, check shift speed to verify that it is
the governor and not a stuck cutback valve, then repair or replace governor as necessary.
7. To separate transmission trouble from cooler system trouble, observe flow at transmission case
converter-out fitting.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch gives an indication of transmission load to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). This information is required for adjusting fuel/air ratio and idle speed.
OPERATION
When the transmission is in gear the PNP switch is normally open. This results in a high voltage on
the PNP output pin 30. When the transmission is shifted into neutral or park the PNP switch is
closed and ground is applied to PNP output pin 30.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Sensors and Switches - A/T
> Transmission Speed Sensor, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation
Transmission Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
The Transmission Speed Sensor (TSS), located within the transaxle oil pan, produces AC voltage
that is proportional to the speed of the transaxle's forward/reverse drum. Since this drum is
mechanically connected to the torque converter, the sensor is also measuring turbine speed. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses this input to determine upshift and downshift points.

Torque Converter: Testing and Inspection
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH TEST
NOTE: This test should be performed on the road. If performed on the hoist the technician may not
feel the torque converter clutch solenoid engage.
NOTE: The torque converter clutch solenoid is labeled "CCO" on the transmission tester overlay.
CAUTION: Do not depress torque converter clutch switch with transmission in gear and the vehicle
at a stop. Damage to torque converter clutch may result.
NOTE: Engine coolant temperature must be above 128° and below 240° F. This temperature can
be obtained after approximately 15 minutes of highway driving. Since most converter clutch shifts
are difficult to feel, a tachometer and/or vacuum gauge must be connected to engine.
1. Accelerate vehicle to 88km/h (55 mph) and allow vehicle to upshift into third gear. Hold speed
steady and depress the torque converter clutch
switch. Does the torque converter (7902) engage? Does the engine rpm drop? Did the torque
converter clutch solenoid activate/deactivate?

ISSUE The number one cause for repeat transmission repairs is that contamination from the
transmission cooler system (lines and tank) will work their way back into the rebuilt or new
transmission. For this reason a new transmission cooler flusher has been released, "Turbo-Tank
Heated Cooler Line Flusher" Rotunda Tool number 22-00001.
ACTION The transmission cooling system (cooler and lines) MUST be flushed every time the
transmission is overhauled or replaced in order to minimize the likelihood of repeat repairs. The
use of this new "Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line Flusher" (222-00001) is the most effective way to
remove contamination from its cooling system. Refer to the following Service Procedure and
Equipment instructions (supplied with the "Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line Flusher").
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Prior methods of cooler flushing have not obtained the level of cooler cleaning and contaminant
removal that is required to prevent repeat repairs. The "Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line Flusher"
uses heated Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) and a pulsating action to loosen system
contamination.
Previous equipment used solvents to clean & flush coolers, lines and torque-converters. There are
2 issues with this method:
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Cooler, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > A/T - Cooler Flushing Service Tips > Page 3858
^ Residual solvent contamination can cause damage to friction bonding materials within the
transmission (Clutches and Bands).
^ Lack of fluid heating and agitation prevents this method from completely removing contamination
from lines, in-radiator coolers and auxiliary coolers.
Aerosol Solvents should never be used for several reasons.
^ They do not provide the volume necessary to remove heavy contaminants.
^ They evaporate quickly and essentially leave contaminants in pockets, bends, or wherever they
are as the solvent dries.
NOTE
YOU MUST IDENTIFY THE RETURN COOLER LINE TO START THE BACK FLUSHING
PROCEDURE.
A quick way to identify the return cooler line (fluid coming out of the cooler and returning to the
transmission) is to locate the return cooler line fitting on the transmission case. Refer to the
following lists:
Rear Wheel Drive
^ TORQSHIFT, 4R100, E40D, C6 - The REAR transmission case filling receives the return line.
^ 4R70W, AODE, AOD - The TOP transmission case filling receives the return line.
^ A4LD, 4R44/55E, 5R55E, 5R55N, 5R55W, 5R55S
- The TOP transmission case filling receives the return line.
Front Wheel Drive
^ CD4E - The REAR or Pump End transaxle case fitting receives the return line.
^ 4F27E - The REAR or Cover End transaxle case fitting receives the return line.
^ AXOD, AXODE, AX4S, AX4N, 4F50N - The BOTTOM transaxle cooler line fitting receives the
return line.
NOTE
IF AN IN-LINE FILTER HAS BEEN INSTALLED IN THE COOLER LINE, IT MUST BE REMOVED
BEFORE FLUSHING THE COOLER OR COOLER LINES.
Purge the cooler and cooler line before flushing:
Located on the "Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line Flusher" is a fluid transfer and purge valve. This
valve can be used to purge the cooler and cooler lines of contaminated fluid before starting the
back flush procedure of the fluid cooling system (refer to step 5a of this Service Procedure or
Equipment instructions, supplied with the "Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line Flusher").
Flush Procedure
1. Check and top off fluid level of the "Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line Flusher" tank with
transmission fluid.
2. Allow the fluid in the flusher 15-30 minutes to heat up to 140° F (60° C) before using.
3. Install line adapters into the transmission cooler lines.
4. Attach the flusher's blue line to the transmission return cooler line quick disconnect.
5. Attach the flusher's red line to the transmission outlet cooler line quick disconnect.
a. Follow equipment instructions, to purge cooler lines and cooler prior to starting flushing
procedure (using factory installed purge valve and clear hose on "Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line
Flusher").
6. Allow the cooling system to back-flush for 10-15 minutes, then flush the cooler in a
forward/normal flow direction for an additional 10-15 minutes.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch gives an indication of transmission load to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). This information is required for adjusting fuel/air ratio and idle speed.
OPERATION
When the transmission is in gear the PNP switch is normally open. This results in a high voltage on
the PNP output pin 30. When the transmission is shifted into neutral or park the PNP switch is
closed and ground is applied to PNP output pin 30.

Sensor, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation
Transmission Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
The Transmission Speed Sensor (TSS), located within the transaxle oil pan, produces AC voltage
that is proportional to the speed of the transaxle's forward/reverse drum. Since this drum is
mechanically connected to the torque converter, the sensor is also measuring turbine speed. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses this input to determine upshift and downshift points.

VALVE BODY CONTROL FUNCTIONS
Valve Body Main Control Component Identification
NOTE: The numbers in parenthesis correspond with the numbers in the Valve Body Main Control
Component Identification image.
(1) The intermediate servo accumulator controls band capacity on 1-2 shift. (2) The overdrive servo
accumulator controls overdrive band capacity on 3-4 upshifts. (3) The 3-4 back-out valve controls
the rate at which overdrive servo release oil exhausts on 3-4 back-out shifts. (4) The 3-2 high
clutch release valve controls the rate at which high clutch oil exhausts on higher speed 3-2
downshifts. (5) The 3-2 intermediate servo release valve controls the rate at which intermediate
servo release oil exhausts on higher speed 3-2 downshifts. (6) The 3-2 kickdown timing valve
sends intermediate servo release and high clutch oil to the torque demand valve during 3-2
downshifts at lower
speeds. At higher speed, this valve moves down and intermediate servo release and high clutch oil
drains through the 3-2 intermediate servo release kickdown control and 3-2 high clutch kickdown
control valves.
(7) The 3-2 coast control valve controls the rate at which intermediate servo release and high
clutch oil exhaust on 3-2 coasting downshifts. (8) The throttle pressure booster valve increases
throttle pressure output for shift delay at lower engine manifold vacuum levels. (9) The 1-2
transition valve, along with the 2-3 back-out valve, will prevent an intermediate to reverse band
tie-up on a manual 1-2 shift.
(10) The 2-3 back-out valve prevents tie-up if driver backs off accelerator during 2-3 upshift. (11)
The engagement control valve feeds the forward clutch through a small orifice at low Throttle Valve
(TV) pressures, or through a larger orifice at
higher TV pressures.
(12) The torque demand control valve controls the rate at which high clutch and intermediate servo
release oil exhausts at lower speed 3-2 downshifts. (13) The cut back valve reduces control
pressure as road speed increases. (14) The oil pressure regulator valve regulates main control
pressure. (15) The main oil pressure booster valve increases or decreases main control pressure in
relation to throttle pressure, and provides higher line pressure
in reverse.
(16) The throttle downshift valve reroutes line pressure to override the normal automatic upshift
schedule and provide forced downshifts.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Valve Body, A/T >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 3880
(17) The manual control valve moves with shift selector and directs control pressure to various
passages to provide automatic function. (18) The 2-Low range coasting boost valve boosts
pressure in selector positions 1 and 2 at closed or nearly closed throttle. (19) The 1-2 shift valve
controls upshift from 1st to second and downshift from 2nd to 1st. (20) The D2 shift valve is used in
combination with the 1-2 shift valve to provide a 2nd gear start in 2 range. (21) The 2-3 shift valve
controls upshift from 2nd to high and downshift from high to 2nd. (22) The 2-3 throttle pressure
modulator valve provides a modulated pressure to the 2-3 shift valve at higher TV pressures. This
modulated pressure
helps to delay 2-3 shifts at higher TV pressures.
(23) The 4-3 torque demand valve routes high clutch oil to the 3-4 shift valve at lower vacuums.
This provides for a higher road speed 4-3 torque
demands at lower vacuum.
(24) The converter clutch shift valve, along with the converter clutch shuttle valve and solenoid,
controls converter clutch engagements and
disengagements.
(25) The converter clutch throttle pressure modulator valve sends a modulated pressure to the
converter clutch shift valve at higher TV pressures. This
modulated pressure helps to delay converter clutch upshifts at higher TV pressures.
(26) The 3-4 shift valve controls the scheduling for 3-4 upshifts and 4-3 downshifts. (27) The 3-4
throttle pressure modulator valve provides a modulated pressure on the 3-4 shift valve at high TV
pressures. This modulated pressure
helps to delay 3-4 upshifts at higher TV pressures.
(28) The converter clutch shuttle valve, when bottomed against the plug, directs flow so the
converter clutch will be disengaged. When the valve
compresses the spring, flow is directed so the converter clutch engages. The solenoid also controls
the position of this valve.

ISSUE: A "soft" unresponsive clutch pedal may be felt or the driver may be unable to release the
clutch. This is caused by air entrapped in the clutch hydraulic system.
ACTION: Use the information in this TSB article in addition to the bleed procedure specified in the
1993 Service Manual. This article includes detail as well as extra service tips for easier hydraulic
clutch bleeding.
The clutch hydraulic system for the 1993 model year is new and more difficult to bleed than the
previous hydraulic system. Therefore, a different bleeding procedure is required for these vehicles.
RANGER, EXPLORER, AEROSTAR
The most difficult systems to bleed are on the Rangers, Explorers and Aerostars. Follow the bleed
procedure as outlined in the 1993 Service Manual, Page 08-00-6. This procedure with the addition
of the bench bleed process is included in this TSB article.
NOTE: WHEN INSTALLING DRY CLUTCH CYLINDER OR TUBE SERVICE PARTS, DO THE
BENCH BLEED PROCEDURE FIRST.
BENCH BLEED
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Clutch, M/T > Clutch Hydraulic System > Clutch Master Cylinder >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Hydraulic Clutch - Bleeding Procedure Service Tips > Page 3907
The compact vehicles are more difficult to bleed because the downward angle of the master
cylinder makes it difficult for air to escape up into the reservoir. Therefore, if the master cylinder is
removed from the vehicle and bled while held in a vertical orientation (a bench bleed) air can
escape much more efficiently. Refer to Figure 1.
BENCH BLEEDING PROCEDURE (CONCENTRIC SLAVE CYLINDER)
1. Remove master cylinder, line and reservoir from vehicle and assemble with replacement parts
required based on initial concern.
2. Hold the master cylinder vertically with the reservoir feed hose in the highest position on the
body, Figure 1.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Clutch, M/T > Clutch Hydraulic System > Clutch Master Cylinder >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Hydraulic Clutch - Bleeding Procedure Service Tips > Page 3908
3. Fill the reservoir and extend above the master cylinder and assure the quick connect on the
clutch line is below the master cylinder. (Lightly clamp reservoir in a vice).
4. Using a small screwdriver, depress the internal mechanism of the male quick connect coupling
to open the valve, Figure 1.
5. Stroke and hold master cylinder pushrod.
6. Close quick connect valve.
7. Release master cylinder pushrod.
8. Fill reservoir.
9. Repeat Steps 4 through 8 four more times.
10. With the master cylinder still being held with the outlet tube and reservoir feed tube ends high,
quick connect closed and the reservoir full, proceed as follows:
a. Push the pushrod into the body several times quickly to expel any remaining air.
b. If it is a remote reservoir, pinch the supply hose with your fingers two or three times to help move
air into reservoir.
11. When the movement of the pushrod is .160" (4 mm) or less when stroked in Step 10, reinstall
the master cylinder into the vehicle and couple it to the slave cylinder.

Under normal conditions, disconnecting the clutch coupling will not introduce air into the system.
However, if there appears to be air in the system (spongy pedal or insufficient bearing travel), the
system must be bled. See Figure 2. The following procedure is used with the hydraulic system
installed on the vehicle.
1. Disconnect the coupling at the transmission with a coupling disconnect tool (T88T70522A) or
equivalent by sliding the white plastic sleeve toward the slave cylinder while applying a slight tug on
the clutch tube.
2. Clean dirt and grease from around the reservoir cap.
3. Remove cap and diaphragm and fill reservoir to the step with Heavy Duty Brake Fluid
(C6AZ-19542-AA or BA) (ESA-M6C25-A) or equivalent.

CAUTION: BRAKE FLUID MUST BE CERTIFIED TO DOT 3 SPECIFICATION.
a. By hand, apply 10-15 lbs. to clutch pedal.
b. If pedal is hard (.25-.50" movement), skip to Step 9.
c. If pedal is spongy, proceed to the next step.
4. Using a small screwdriver....
a. Depress the internal mechanism of the male coupling to open the valve.
b. While continuing to hold the valve open, slowly depress the clutch pedal to the floor and hold.
5. Remove the screwdriver from the coupling, closing the valve.
6. Release the clutch pedal.
7. Refill the reservoir to level at step.
NOTE: THE RESERVOIR MUST BE KEPT FULL AT ALL TIMES TO ENSURE THAT THERE
WILL BE NO ADDITIONAL INTRODUCTION OF AIR INTO THE SYSTEM.
8. Repeat Steps 4 through 7.
9. Install cap on reservoir.
a. Reconnect the coupling to the slave cylinder.
b. Check that the connection is secure by applying a slight tug to the clutch tube.
10. Stroke the clutch pedal as rapidly as possible for five to ten strokes.
11. Wait one to three minutes.
12. Repeat Steps 10 and 11 three more times.
13. Loosen the bleed screw which is located in the slave cylinder body next to the inlet connection.
14. Depress and hold the clutch pedal while tightening the bleed screw 3-5 N-m (2.2-3.7 lb.ft.).
15. Refill the reservoir to level at step.
16. The hydraulic system should now be fully bled and should release the clutch. Check the clutch
reserve per the instruction in the 1993 Service Manual, Section 08-00.
F-SERIES, BRONCO
Since full size vehicles have master cylinders which are mounted in a level attitude, they bleed
more efficiently than do compact vehicles. However, some difficulties may still be encountered if
the new procedure is not used.
VEHICLES WITH CONCENTRIC SLAVE CYLINDERS
The procedure given in the Service Manual on page 08-00-9 is incorrect. Use the same bleed
procedure as specified for the compact vehicles which is included in this article. The optional bench
bleed procedure may be used, but is probably not necessary.
VEHICLES WITH EXTERNAL SLAVE CYLINDERS
The procedure in the 1993 Service Manual on page 08-00-10 should be modified as follows:
1. Do not use the Alternate Method.
2. After Step 7 and before Step 8, do the following...

a. Remove the slave cylinder from the transmission.
b. Holding the cylinder so that the port for the tube is at the highest point, slowly push the pushrod
into the cylinder and slowly let it return. Be sure the reservoir is full of fluid beforehand. Repeat this
step two more times.
c. Reattach the slave cylinder to the transmission.
d. Rapidly depress the clutch pedal 10 times through a travel of about 1" (25.4 mm).

Clutch Master Cylinder: Service and Repair Clutch Master Cylinder Bench Bleeding
Clutch Master Cylinder
The downward angle of the clutch master cylinder (7A543) makes it difficult for air to escape up
into the reservoir. Therefore, if the clutch master cylinder is removed from the vehicle and bled
while held in a vertical orientation (a bench bleed), air can escape much more efficiently.
1. Start with tube and reservoir attached to clutch master cylinder, but system removed from
vehicle. Lightly clamp reservoir is a vise. 2. Hold the clutch master cylinder vertically with reservoir
feed hose in the highest position on the body. 3. Fill reservoir and extend above clutch master
cylinder and make sure the quick connect on clutch line is below the clutch master cylinder. 4.
Using a small screwdriver, depress the internal mechanism of the male quick connect coupling to
open the valve. 5. Stroke and hold master cylinder push rod. 6. Close quick connect valve. 7.
Release master cylinder push rod. 8. Fill reservoir. 9. Repeat Steps 4 through 8 four more times.
10. With the clutch master cylinder still being held with the outlet tube and reservoir feed tube ends
high, quick connect closed and the reservoir full,
push the push rod into the body several times quickly to expel any remaining air (if remote
reservoir, pinch supply hose with fingers two or three times to help move air into reservoir).
11. When the movement of the push rod is 4mm (.160 inch) or less when stroked in Step 10 above,
the clutch master cylinder may be reinstalled into
the vehicle and coupled to the concentric clutch slave cylinder.

ISSUE: A lack of A/C cooling may be observed on some vehicles. This may be due to an incorrect
crimp on the evaporator inlet tube which retains the orifice tube in the proper position. This may
allow the orifice tube to slip and lodge in the evaporator core. This condition may cause a
restriction or appear that the orifice tube is missing, resulting in lack of cooling.
ACTION: Replace the evaporator core and orifice tube. Refer to the following Service Procedure
for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Verify the concern using the procedures outlined in Section 12 of the 1994 Aerostar, Ranger,
Explorer Service Manual.
2. If the pressure cycling time test indicates a missing orifice tube or an evaporator restriction,
recover the refrigerant using an approved refrigerant recovery system.
3. Disconnect the evaporator inlet tube and look for the orifice lodged inside the evaporator core.
4. If the orifice tube is lodged inside the evaporator core, replace the evaporator core and orifice
tube. If the orifice tube is not lodged in the evaporator core, refer to Section 12 of the 1994
Aerostar, Ranger, Explorer Service Manual for diagnostic procedures.
5. Evacuate and recharge the A/C system according to procedures outlined in Section 12 of the
1994 Aerostar, Ranger, Explorer Service Manual.

Clutch Slave Cylinder: Service and Repair Bleeding Procedure
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with quick-connect clutch tube, the manufacturer recommends
replacing the tube when ever hydraulic system service is necessary, because the quick-connect
feature tends to trap air in the system and prevents complete bleeding of the system. The
replacement tube does not include the quick-connect feature.
1. Clean area around fluid reservoir cap, then remove cap and fill reservoir with suitable DOT 3
brake fluid. 2. Loosen bleed screw on slave cylinder and wait until a steady stream of fluid is
expelled, then tighten screw. 3. Depress clutch pedal to floor, wait 1-2 seconds, then release pedal
as rapidly as possible. Repeat approximately 10 times. 4. Check fluid level in reservoir and fill as
required. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4, then reinstall reservoir cap. 6. Hold clutch pedal to floor, crack
open bleed screw to allow any additional air to escape, then close screw and release clutch pedal.
Check fluid
level and adjust as necessary.
7. Start engine, then depress clutch pedal and shift transmission into reverse gear. If gear clash
occurs, repeat steps 3 through 6.

Clutch Pedal Position Switch: Description and Operation
OPERATION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) sends out a 5 volt reference to the Clutch Pedal Position
(CPP) switch. When the switch is "OPEN" (clutch DEPRESSED), the PCM senses voltage. When
the switch is "CLOSED" (clutch RELEASED), the PCM senses no voltage. The PCM uses this
input to determine engine load and to adjust idle speed accordingly.

Inspect visually for damage. Ensure differential bearing bores are smooth and that threads are not
damaged. Remove any nicks or burrs from mounting surfaces of housing. Only repairs to cast axle
housing and the "puddle-welded" area of the housing are approved. They should be made as
follows:
1. Clean surfaces to be repaired by grinding or rotary filing to a clean bright metal finish. Clean
repair area thoroughly. Metallic plastic will not stick
to a dirty or oily surface. Chamfer or undercut the hole or porosity to a greater depth than the rest
of the cleaned surface. Solid metal must surround the hole. Openings larger than 1/4 inch should
not be repaired with metallic plastic. They can be drilled, tapped and plugged using common tools.
2. Mix metallic plastic base and hardener according to manufacturer's instructions. Stir thoroughly
until uniform. 3. Apply repair mixture with suitable clean tool, forcing epoxy into hole or porosity. 4.
Allow repair mixture to harden. Heat cure with a 250 watt lamp placed 10 inches from repaired
surface, or air dry for 10 to 12 hours at
temperatures above 50°F.
5. Sand or grind repaired area to blend with general contour of surrounding surface. 6. Paint the
surface to match the rest of the axle housing.

Pinion Bearing: Testing and Inspection
Pinion Retainer
Inspect visually for damage. Ensure pinion bearing cups are seated. Ensure there are no chips or
burrs on mounting flange. Clean all lubricant passages. If pinion bearing cups were removed,
examine bores in retainer carefully. Any nicks or burrs in these bores must be removed to permit
proper seating of cups.
Bearing Cups
Check bearing cups for rings, galling or erratic wear patterns. The bearing cups must be solidly
seated. Check by attempting to insert 0.0015 inch feeler gauge between cups and bottoms of
bores.
Cone & Roller Assemblies
When operated in the cups, the cone and roller assemblies must turn without any roughness.
Examine roller ends for wear.
Companion Flange
Be sure that flat machined surfaces and the bearing cup sockets of the flange have not been
damaged in removing driveshaft or in removing flange from axle. The edge of the flange that
contacts the oil slinger or pinion front bearing must be smooth. Roughness aggravates backlash
noises and causes wear on the slinger with a resultant loss in drive pinion bearing preload. The
seal surface should be perfectly smooth or leakage will result.

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

Ring Gear: Testing and Inspection
CLEANING AND INSPECTION
Examine ring gear teeth for scoring or signs of excessive wear. Worn gears cannot be rebuilt to
correct a noisy condition. Gear scoring and flaking are the result of excessive shock loading or the
use of improper lubricant. Scored gears cannot be reused.
Examine teeth and thrust surfaces of differential gears. Wear on hub of differential side gears may
cause a chucking noise known as chuckle, when the vehicle is operated at low speeds. Wear of
splines, thrust surfaces or thrust washers may contribute to excessive drive line backlash.
TESTING
Models equipped with anti-lock brakes incorporate a multi-tooth exciter ring which is pressed on the
differential case located behind the ring gear assembly. Do not remove exciter ring to measure ring
gear runout. A space is provided between the exciter ring and ring gear to measure ring gear
runout.
NOTE: If ring gear runout during disassembly exceeded 0.008-0.015 inch, the condition may be
caused by a warped gear, or distorted or damaged case or foreign matter trapped between
differential case halves or under ring gears.
To determine cause of excessive runout, assemble differential case without ring gear, then check
as described below. 1. Install case in differential carrier without ring gear attached. 2. Install
bearing caps and adjuster nuts and tighten cap bolts to 70-85 ft lb. 3. Tighten adjuster nuts to
center differential side bearing. 4. Mount a dial indicator and check runout of case flange and ring
gear pilot. If runout at either point is excessive, install a new differential case.
If runout is within 0.012-0.015 inch, the ring gear is out of specification.
NOTE: When performing this check on a locking differential case the four compression springs
within the case should be temporarily removed. This will prevent a false runout reading due to
distortion caused by the springs forcing the case apart.

HUBLOCK DIAGNOSTICS
WHEEL END CONTAMINATION:
^ All compact vehicle hublocks have an O-ring seal between the hublock and wheel hub to prevent
contamination. Whenever the hublock is removed, the 0-ring seal should be checked for damage.
^ If contamination is found in the wheel end, the path must be determined and corrected. Path
possibilities are through the hublock seal, the wheel
bearing seals or the axle spindle seals.
WHEEL END NOISE (BUZZING) IN 4X2, AFTER UNLOCKING HUBS, SHORTLY AFTER
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE USAGE:
^ Noise concerns in two-wheel drive shortly after shifting from four-wheel drive and unlocking hubs,
can occur if one of the hublocks fails to disengage. As the vehicle moves forward, the one (1)
hublock that has failed to disengage will rotate its axle shaft through the differential and attempt to
rotate the other axle shaft in the opposite direction. This is called differential motoring torque. As
this torque attempts to turn the other axle shaft through the differential gears, that shaft's hublock
will attempt to engage which will result in a ratcheting or buzzing noise.
^ This type of noise concern is usually found on axles that have incorrect front axle differential
lubricant or very few 4X4 miles on them.
^ Verify that the front axle differential lubricant is F1TZ-19580-A. If incorrect lubricant is detected,
extract the old lubricant using a suction gun.
NOTE:
BREAKING THE CARRIER SEAL IS NOT A RECOMMENDED METHOD OF EXTRACTING THE
LUBRICANT.
1. Refill the front axle with 56 oz (1.66 L) of lubricant F1TZ-19580-A using a suction gun.
2. As the front axle accumulates 100-200 miles (161-322 km) of locked hublock operation, the axle
will break-in, thus reducing the amount of differential motoring torque significantly.
3. If a front axle requires breaking in, refer to the Front Axle Break-In Procedure in this article.
4. If the front axle has been broken-in and the differential lubricant is F1TZ-19580-A, however, a
wheel end noise (buzzing) in 4X2 is still experienced shortly after four-wheel drive usage. It is
advised that the hublock which is not ratcheting be replaced as it is not disengaging correctly.
When this condition occurs on any 4X4 Ranger, Explorer, or Bronco II, built from 10/89 through
model year 1993, it is advised that both hublocks be replaced as the ratcheting hub is likely to
become damaged.
FRONT AXLE BREAK-IN PROCEDURE:
^ To break-in the front axle, engage four-wheel drive and then shift out of it without disengaging the
hublocks.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Hub (Locking) >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Automatic Hublock - Diagnosis/Service Tips > Page 4042
^ Thereafter, continue to drive the vehicle with locked hublocks until 100-200 miles (161-322 km)
are accumulated. This will break-in the axle. Should the vehicle be backed up during this time
period, the hublocks will disengage and will have to be locked again by repeating the engagement
procedure.
WHEEL END NOISE (RATCHETING) IN 4X2 AND HUBS UNLOCKED:
^ This condition could occur during turns or when the suspension is stroked. It is more prevalent in
cold weather, with new front axles. It is usually caused by high motoring torque at the axle shafts or
by incorrect axle lubrication.
^ Verify that axle lubrication is F1TZ-19580-A. If the front axle is not broken-in, 100-200 4X4 miles
(161-322 km), proceed to do so following the outlined front axle break-in procedure in the Hublock
Diagnostics section of this TSB article.
WHEEL END NOISE (BUZZING) WHILE ENGAGING 4X4 (TOUCH DRIVE) WHILE MOVING:
^ Refer to TSB Article No. 91-15-10.
POPPING/BANGING SOUND WHILE IN 4X4:
^ If the system slips under load, find what has broken or is slipping. To locate where slip is taking
place, put marks at various possible slip points (Figure 1). Test drive the vehicle, then check to see
if marks at different points are still in the same relationship to each other. This will help you
determine where the slippage is taking place or where to look for broken parts, if any.
^ On vehicles with automatic hubs, find a place where you can do your test, mark the components,
then drive without backing up. Stop and check the marks to see if they are in the same relationship
to each other. If you back up before checking your marks, the hubs may reindex and not reveal the
problem.
^ Reindex component should be serviced.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Remove old hublock; remove key from bearing retainer nut and then remove nut.
2. If replacing a manual hublock with an automatic hublock, also remove the three-piece wheel
bearing nut assembly.
3. Remove the new wheel bearing retaining nut from the cam assembly and install on the threaded
spindle.
4. Using Hex Locknut Wrench (T70T-4252-B), torque the wheel bearing retainer nut to 47 N-m (35
lb.ft.) while rotating the wheel assembly. Back nut off 1/4 turn and retighten to 1.8 N-m (16 lb.in.) of
torque.
5. Align scallop of the wheel bearing retaining nut with the center of the spindle keyway by
advancing the nut clockwise.
6. Install the retaining key into the spindle keyway. With the garter spring inboard, align the key on
the cam assembly with the keyway on the spindle.
7. Firmly press the cam assembly on the wheel bearing retaining nut.
CAUTION:
DO NOT PACK THE HUBLOCK WITH GREASE. TOO MUCH GREASE WILL CAUSE
IMPROPER HUBLOCK OPERATION AND MAY DAMAGE THE HUBLOCK.
8. For Ranger and Bronco II, model years 1983-90 (through build date 10/4/89), using the DANA
28 Axle, install the thrust washer set onto the axle:
a. First, the plain steel washer.
b. Second, the needle bearing.
c. Last, the spline washer.
9. For model years 1990-94 (begin build date 10/5/89), DANA 35 Axle, install the one-piece spline
washer. Install the "C" clip into the axle groove. It may be necessary to push the axle outboard from
the inboard side of the knuckle.
10. For 1995 Ranger, install the thrust washer onto the axle:
a. First, the plain steel thrust washer.
b. Second, the plastic unsplined thrust washer.

c. Last, the steel spline thrust washer.
CAUTION:
ENSURE THE RETAINING RING OR "C" CLIP IS SEATED PROPERLY IN THE AXLE GROOVE
FOR STEPS 8, 9, OR 10.
11. Check to ensure 0-ring seal on the flange face of the hublock body is not damaged and is
properly positioned in its groove.
12. Install the hublock body assembly into the vehicle hub and rotor assembly. The hub may have
to be rotated to line up the three (3) prongs of the cam follower (found internally to the hublock)
with the cam assembly.
13. Install retainer flat nuts on wheel studs.
NOTE:
DO NOT FORCE THE HUBLOCK ASSEMBLY. IF THE BODY ASSEMBLY WILL NOT FIT,
RECHECK THE ALIGNMENT OF ALL COMPONENTS. INSTALL SPEEDNUTS ON WHEEL
LUGS TO RETAIN HUBLOCK. THEREAFTER, INSTALL THE WHEEL AND TORQUE THE LUG
NUTS TO 136 N-m (100 LB.FT.) (FIGURE 2).
HISTORY AND TIMING
The Warn Automatic Hublock (Model M350) was used on the DANA 28 Axle (Bronco II and
Ranger) from model years 1983-90 (through build date 10/4/89). The Warn Automatic Hublocks
(Models M350A and M350B) were used on the DANA 35 Axle (Bronco II, Explorer and Ranger) for
model years 1990-93 (begin build date 10/5/89). Starting with model year 1994 the Warn Automatic
Hublock (Model M350C) used on the DANA 35 Axle (Explorer and Ranger) was introduced.
The Model M350 is black and Model M350A, M350B and M350C are argent (white silver) in color.
The Model M350 can only be replaced by Model M350 service parts. The M350C service kits
should be used as replacements for the following:
^ M350A hublocks released 10/89 as model year 1990 running change.
^ M350B hublocks released 4/92 as model year 1992 late running change.
^ M350C hublocks released 8/93 as model year 1994 Job 1 change.
When automatic hublock servicing is required for any Ranger, Explorer, or Bronco II built from
10/89 through model year 1993, it is advised that both hublocks be replaced.
NOTE:
IF AN M350A OR M350B HUBLOCK REQUIRES SERVICING, ALL THE HUBLOCK
COMPONENTS MUST BE REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH SERVICE KIT F3TZ-3B396-B,
WHICH ESSENTIALLY IS THE SERVICE KIT FOR THE M350C AUTOMATIC HUBLOCK. THE
CAM ASSEMBLY OF THE M350A OR M35OB SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH AN M350C
AUTOMATIC HUBLOCK BODY NOR SHOULD AN M350A OR M350B AUTOMATIC HUBLOCK
BODY BE USED WITH AN M350C CAM ASSEMBLY.
For model year 1994 (and beyond) 4X4 Rangers or Explorers, replace automatic hublocks in
accordance with the automatic hublock Service Manual procedure and additional diagnostics
procedure outlined in this TSB.
IDENTIFYING AUTOMATIC HUBLOCK MODELS

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch gives an indication of transmission load to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). This information is required for adjusting fuel/air ratio and idle speed.
OPERATION
When the transmission is in gear the PNP switch is normally open. This results in a high voltage on
the PNP output pin 30. When the transmission is shifted into neutral or park the PNP switch is
closed and ground is applied to PNP output pin 30.

Transmission Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
The Transmission Speed Sensor (TSS), located within the transaxle oil pan, produces AC voltage
that is proportional to the speed of the transaxle's forward/reverse drum. Since this drum is
mechanically connected to the torque converter, the sensor is also measuring turbine speed. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses this input to determine upshift and downshift points.

4WABS Relay: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The system relay has two functions, first when the relay is energized, it supplies power to the six
valve solenoids in the valve block assembly and the pump motor relay coil. Second, it supplies
ground to the ABS warning light when the relay is de-energized.
OPERATION
The system relay is controlled by the ECU and is energized when it receives an ignition input
signal.
LOCATION
The system relay is located in the fifth position of the relay block behind the power network box.

Acceleration Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The G-switch detects and indicates to the anti-lock brake control module whether or not the vehicle
is moving.
OPERATION
The G-switch is used on 4x4 vehicles only. When driven in the 4-wheel drive mode all four wheels
are mechanically linked and a situation could arise in which one wheel locks up and causes all four
wheels to lock up and skid. The speed sensors would indicate the vehicle speed as zero. Without
the G-switch, the anti-lock brake control module (2B373) would have no data to compare and
would react as if the vehicle were stopped when in fact it is moving.

4WABS Control Module: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The ECU monitors system operation during normal driving as well as during anti-lock braking.
OPERATION
Under normal driving conditions, the microprocessors produce short test pulses to check the
electrical system without any mechanical reaction. The ECU continuously monitors the speed of
each wheel to determine if any wheel is beginning to lock. When a wheel locking tendency is
detected, the ECU signals the appropriate solenoid valve in the hydraulic control unit to open or
close as well as the pump motor to turn on and recycle brake fluid back to the master cylinder. This
results in moderate pulsations of the brake pedal and pump noise which may be heard in the
passenger compartment. During normal braking, the brake pedal feel will be identical to a standard
brake system.
Most concerns which occur to the anti-lock brake system will be stored as a coded number in the
Keep-Alive Memory (KAM) of the ECU. This means that once a code is stored, it will be retained by
the ECU even with the key in the OFF position. The codes can be retrieved by following the
on-board diagnostic procedures. Refer to Diagnosis and Testing.
CONSTRUCTION
It is an on-board diagnostic, non-repairable unit consisting of two microprocessors and the
necessary circuitry for their operation. These microprocessors are programmed identically.
LOCATION
The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is located in the engine compartment behind the driver's side
headlamp on a bracket mounted on the surface of the plastic fender apron.

4WABS Hydraulic Schematic
PURPOSE
The Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) is used to control brake hydraulic pressure to prevent wheel
lock-up during braking.
OPERATION
The HCU is located in the front of the engine compartment on the left frame rail. It consists of a
valve body assembly, a pump and a motor assembly. During normal braking, fluid from the master
cylinder enters the HCU through two inlet ports located at the top of the HCU. The fluid then
passes through three normally open inlet valves, one to each wheel in the front and one line to the
rear wheels. If the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) senses that a wheel is about to lock, the ECU
pulses the appropriate inlet valve which closes that valve. This prevents any more fluid from
entering the affected brake. The ECU then looks at that wheel again. If it is still decelerating, the
ECU pulses the normally closed outlet valve which decreases the pressure trapped in the line.
NOTE: The valve body, the pump and the motor are not serviceable separately.

Axle Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The anti-lock brake system uses three sets of variable-reluctance sensors and toothed speed
sensor rings to determine the rotational speed of each wheel.
OPERATION
The sensors operate on magnetic induction principle. As the teeth on the speed indicator ring
rotate past the stationary sensor, a signal proportional to the speed of the rotation is generated and
sent to the ECU through a twisted-pair wire cable and wiring harness.
LOCATION
The front sensors are attached to the suspension knuckles, and the speed indicator rings are
pressed onto the backside of the rotor. The rear sensor is bolted into the rear axle housing and the
rear speed sensor ring is pressed onto the rear axle carrier assembly.

Brake Bleeding: Description and Operation
WARNING: Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash
hands thoroughly after handling. If brake fluid contacts eyes, flush with running water for 15
minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally, drink water and induce
vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.
NOTE: When any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for repair or replacement, air
may get into the lines and cause spongy pedal action. This requires the bleeding of the hydraulic
system after it has been properly connected to be sure all air is expelled from the brake cylinders
and lines. The hydraulic system can be bled manually or with pressure bleeding equipment such as
Rotunda(r) brake bleeder 104-00064 or equivalent.
Bleed one brake cylinder at a time. Start the bleeding at the right rear brake wheel cylinder and
then the left rear wheel brake cylinder. Then proceed to bleed the front brakes, starting with the
right front brake and finish bleeding on the left front brake.
Keep the brake master cylinder reservoir filled with the specified Ford Heavy Duty Brake Fluid
C6AZ-19542-AA or BA (ESA-M6C25-A) or equivalent. Never use brake fluid that has been drained

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Priming Brake System
NOTE: When a brake master cylinder (2140) has been installed, or the brake system emptied or
partially emptied, fluid may not flow from the bleeder screws during normal bleeding. It may be
necessary to prime the brake master cylinder using the following procedure:
1. Use a tubing wrench to remove the front brake tube (2264) and the brake master cylinder outlet
rear tube from the brake master cylinder. 2. Install short brake tubes in the brake master cylinder
and position them so that they curve into the brake master cylinder reservoir (2K478), and the
ends of the tubes are submerged in brake fluid.
3. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with new Ford High Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid
C6AZ-19542-AA or equivalent DOT 3 fluid meeting
Ford specification ESA-M6C25-A.
4. Have an assistant pump the brakes until clear, bubble-free fluid flows from both brake tubes.
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.
5. Remove the short brake tubes and reinstall the front brake tube and brake master cylinder outlet
rear tube on the brake master cylinder. 6. Bleed each brake tube at the brake master cylinder using
the following procedure:
a. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal (2455) 10 times and then hold firm pressure on the
brake pedal. b. On the brake master cylinder, loosen the rearmost brake tube fitting with a tubing
wrench until a stream of brake fluid comes out. Have an
assistant maintain pressure on the brake pedal until the brake tube fitting is tightened again.
c. Repeat this operation until clear, bubble-free fluid comes out from around the tube fitting. Refill
the brake master cylinder reservoir as
necessary.
d. Repeat this bleeding operation at the front brake tube fitting.
7. If any of the brake tubes, disc brake calipers, or rear wheel cylinders have been removed, it may
be helpful to prime the system by gravity
bleeding. This should be done after the brake master cylinder is primed and bled.
8. To gravity bleed the brake system:
a. Fill the brake master cylinder with new Ford High Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid
C6AZ-19542-AA or equivalent DOT 3 fluid meeting Ford
specification ESA-M6C25-A.
b. Loosen both of the rear bleeder screws and leave them open until clear brake fluid flows. Be
sure to check the brake master cylinder reservoir
fluid level often and do not let it run dry.
c. Tighten the wheel cylinder bleeder screws to 7-9 Nm (62-79 in- lb). Tighten rear caliper bleed
screws to 17-24 Nm (13-17 ft-lb). d. One at a time, loosen the front caliper bleeder screws. Leave
the bleeder screws open until clear fluid flows. Check the fluid level often in the
brake master cylinder reservoir and do not let it run dry.
e. Tighten the front caliper bleeder screws to 17-24 Nm (13-17 ft-lb).
9. After the brake system has been primed, bleed the brake system at each wheel.
NOTE: Keep the brake master cylinder reservoir filled with Ford High Performance DOT 3 Brake

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

Brake Caliper: Description and Operation
OPERATION
All vehicles are equipped with front disc brake calipers (2B120). Front disc brake calipers use pin
rail-type caliper assemblies with a cast iron rotor integral with the front hub assembly.
The front disc brake caliper (2B120) consists of a pin slider caliper housing, inner and outer shoe
and lining assemblies, and a wheel cylinder piston (2196). The front disc brake caliper slides on
two pins which also attach the front disc brake caliper to the front wheel spindle (3105).
The caliper housing contains a wheel cylinder piston. The wheel cylinder piston has a molded
rubber dust boot on its outer end that is pressed into a cylinder bore groove to prevent cylinder
contamination. There is also a rectangular section rubber piston seal located in the cylinder bore
providing sealing between the cylinder and wheel cylinder piston. This seal also causes the wheel
cylinder piston to retract once the brakes are released.

Brake Caliper: Service and Repair Inspection
INSTALLATION
1. The wheel cylinder piston must be "bottomed out" when installing new shoe and lining
assemblies. Be sure that enough fluid has been removed
from brake master cylinder (see Step 1 of Removal) to prevent fluid overflow. Bottom out the wheel
cylinder piston with an eight-inch C-clamp using a worn-out inner shoe or a block of wood to push
against the wheel cylinder piston.
2. Place a new brake shoe hold down spring on the lower end of the inner shoe. Be sure the tabs
on the front disc brake caliper are positioned
properly and the front disc brake caliper is fully seated.
3. Position the inner shoe and front disc brake caliper in the shoe abutment of the front wheel
spindle with the anti-rattle clip tab against the shoe
abutment and the loop-type spring away from the front disc brake rotor.
4. Compress the front disc brake caliper and slide the upper end of the shoe in position.
WARNING: Outer shoe torque buttons must be solidly seated in caliper holes or temporary loss of
brakes may occur.
5. Install the outer shoe, making sure the torque buttons on the shoe are seated solidly in the
matching holes in the front disc brake caliper. 6. Make sure the mounting surfaces are free of dirt
and corrosion, and lubricate the caliper grooves with Disc Brake Caliper Grease D7AZ-19590-A
(ESA-M1C172-A) or equivalent, then position the front disc brake caliper on the front wheel
spindle.
NOTE: Be sure to install the caliper pins so the retention tabs will be in contact with the front wheel
spindle, not the front disc brake caliper. When the upper pin is properly positioned, the retention
tabs will be at the top, against the front wheel spindle. When the lower pin is properly positioned,
the retention tabs will be at the bottom, also in contact with the front wheel spindle.

Caliper Slide Pin Positioning
7. From the caliper outboard side, position the pin between the front disc brake caliper and spindle
grooves. The pin must be positioned so the tabs
will be installed against the spindle outer face.
NOTE: During the installation procedure, do not allow the tabs of the caliper pin to be tapped too
far into the spindle groove. If this happens, it will be necessary to tap the other end of the caliper
pin until the tabs snap into place. The tabs on each end of the caliper pin must be free to catch on
the spindle face.
Caliper Pin Installation
8. Tap the pin on the outboard end with a hammer. Continue tapping the pin inward until the
retention tabs on the sides of the pin contact the front
wheel spindle face. Repeat procedure for the lower pin.
9. If removed, install the front brake hose to the front disc brake caliper.
10. If the front brake hose was removed, perform brake bleeding procedures. 11. Install the wheel
and tire assembly. Tighten lugnuts to 114-141 Nm (85-105 ft lb). 12. Lower vehicle, check the
brake fluid level and fill as necessary. Check brakes for proper operation then recheck brake fluid
level in brake master
cylinder. Fill as necessary.

Brake Caliper: Service and Repair Removal
NOTE: If the front disc brake calipers are to be removed for service other than to replace brake
shoes, fluid removal from the brake master cylinder (2140) may not be required. Removing some
fluid will prevent fluid from overflowing from the brake master cylinder when the wheel cylinder
piston are pressed into their bores.
CAUTION: System contamination may result if anything other than a clean device is used to
remove fluid from brake master cylinder.
REMOVAL
1. Use a clean siphon or suction hose to remove a portion of the fluid from the brake master
cylinder. Discard the removed fluid. 2. Raise the vehicle and install safety stands. Remove a front
wheel and tire assembly.
CAUTIONS: ^
Do not position C-clamp on the brake shoe hold down spring. Also, do not compress wheel cylinder
piston further than is required to disengage torque buttons from front disc brake caliper. Damage to
the brake shoe hold down spring will result. Replace shoe if brake shoe hold down spring is bent or
damaged.
^ Do not attempt to "bottom" the wheel cylinder piston in the bore at this time. Use an old, worn out
brake shoe or block of wood and the C-clamp to bottom the wheel cylinder piston once the front
disc brake caliper is removed from front disc brake rotor, and the shoes are removed from the front
disc brake caliper.
3. Use an eight-inch C-clamp to move the wheel cylinder piston back into its bore as follows:
a. Place the head of the C-clamp against the front disc brake caliper, and the screw end of the
C-clamp against the outer shoe below the spring
clip.
b. Tighten the clamp until the torque buttons just clear the caliper (about 3mm [1/8 inch]). Remove
the C-clamp. c. Do not use a screwdriver or similar tool to pry the wheel cylinder piston away from
the front disc brake rotor.
4. Clean excess dirt from area around pin tabs. 5. Using Caliper Pin Remover D89T-2196-A or
equivalent and a light hammer, drive the caliper pin from the front disc brake caliper as follows:

Ford Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Caliper > Component Information >
Service and Repair > Front > Page 4328
Caliper Pin Removal
a. Position the notched end of the tool against the caliper pin (retention tab half), at a 45° angle
from the pin retention tabs. b. Tap the tool with the hammer to compress the retention tabs. c. As
the retention tabs are compressed, move the tool to gain a straight approach to the pin, and
continue tapping to drive the pin through the
caliper/spindle groove.
6. Remove the front disc brake caliper from the rotor. If the front disc brake caliper is to be removed
for service, disconnect the brake hose from the
front disc brake caliper. If not, secure the front disc brake caliper with wire.
NOTE: do not let the front disc brake caliper hang with its weight on the front brake hose (2078).
Inner Brake Pad
7. Compress the brake shoe hold down spring and remove the inner shoe from the front disc brake
caliper.
Outer Pad Removal
8. To remove the outer shoe from the front disc brake caliper, press each ear of the shoe away
from the front disc brake caliper, slide the torque

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

ISSUE: On-vehicle caliper-mounted brake rotor machining equipment from Rotunda is now
approved for warranty and service use. Brake roughness, pulsation and steering wheel nibble will
occur when rotors wear unevenly (thickness variation). This article specifically addresses brake
roughness, pulsation and steering wheel nibble resulting from disc brake rotor thickness variation
induced by rotor runout.
ACTION: Use Rotunda On-Vehicle Brake Lathes 104-00129, 104-00130, 168-00004, or 168-00005
to service vehicles with brake roughness. This method is more effective because it allows
machining of the rotor while it is still mounted on the vehicle. This improves the overall run-out of
the assembly.

Brake Rotor/Disc: Testing and Inspection
NOTES:
- Front disc brake rotor minimum thickness must not be less than 20.6mm (0.81in), the number
cast on the inside of the front disc brake rotor after
refinishing.
- The 70mm (2.756 in) gauge ball that is part of T71P-1102-A is used in conjunction with the
micrometer gauge bar is required to make this
measurement front rotors.
- Maximum allowable stock removal of the inner rotor braking surface is determined by the use of
Disc Rotor Surface Gauge and Ball
T71P-1102-A as follows:
PROCEDURE
1. Remove the inner grease retainer and bearing assembly from the hub and rotor assembly. Wipe
the inner and outer bearing cups clean. 2. Carefully place the gauge ball in the inner bearing cup
(do not drop). 3. Set the micrometer to the baseline setting dimension 6.50mm (0.256 in).
4. Position the micrometer gauge bar on the rotor inner braking surface with the micrometer
centered over the ball. To measure the distance between
the micrometer baseline setting and the ball, turn the micrometer down to touch the top of the ball,
and calculate the difference between the reading and the baseline setting. This distance is equal to
the maximum allowable stock removal from the inside braking surface only. If the micrometer end
at the baseline setting touches the ball, no additional stock removal is allowed.
NOTE: If the micrometer must be retracted from the baseline setting to allow the legs to set on the
rotor surface, the rotor has had more than allowable stock removed and the rotor assembly must
be replaced.
5. Check the rotor for the maximum amount of stock that can be removed from the rotor thickness.
Measure actual rotor thickness with micrometer
and subtract minimum allowable thickness 20.6mm (0.81in). Total material removal (combination of
both sides) must not exceed this amount.
NOTE: If the rotor thickness is less than the minimum, the rotor must be replaced, regardless of the
gauge bar and ball measurement. Rotor minimum thickness is also shown on each rotor.
6. Never use a lathe that cuts only one face of the rotor at a time; it must be a simultaneous
straddle cut. 7. Set the cutting tool to just contact the high spots on the rotor, then adjust the cutting
tool to the minimum depth required to clean up the rotor face.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the allowable stock removal for the inner braking surface or total rotor
thickness. Before installing the rotor on the spindle, clean all chips from the rotor and flush new
grease through the bearing with a bearing packing tool. A new inner grease seal must be coated
with wheel bearing grease and installed in the rotor. The rotor must be installed on the same side
of the vehicle from which it was removed. Measure the thickness of the brake lining. If the lining
thickness at any point on the assembly is less than 1.5mm (1/16-inch) above the backing plate or if
the lining shows evidence of brake fluid or oil contamination that is causing a brake pull, replace all
four shoe and lining assemblies.
Machining
1. Lathe turn the rotor to:
^ Remove rotor scoring, scratching too deep to repair by hand sanding. Deep scoring/scratching
usually occurs after brake use with linings fully worn to the rivets. Stock removal must not reduce
rotor thickness to below the specified minimum thickness.
^ Correct a shudder/vibration/pulsation condition if due to rotor distortion. Check the wheel bearing
adjustment and correct as required and verify if the condition is corrected. If there is any build-up of
foreign material on the linings or rotor surfaces, the condition may not be due to rotor distortion.
Hand sand the surfaces and determine if the condition is corrected before resorting to lathe turning.
Check the lateral runouts of the brake surfaces. Lathe turn the rotor if hand sanding of any foreign
matter on friction surfaces does not correct the condition, or if measured runout exceeds0.254mm
(0.010 inch) total indicator reading.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component Information
> Technical Service Bulletins > Page 4344
^ To check rotor runout, first eliminate the wheel bearing end play by tightening the adjusting nut to
specifications. Then check to be sure the front disc brake rotor can still be rotated.
^ Clamp a dial indicator to the spindle knuckle assembly so the stylus contacts the rotor
approximately 25.4mm (1 inch) from the outer edge. Rotate the rotor one turn (360 degrees) and
take an indicator reading. If the reading exceeds 0.08mm (0.003 inch) total lateral runout, replace
or resurface the front disc brake rotor.
2. The following requirements must be met when resurfacing front disc brake rotors:
^ Use a disc brake lathe to resurface the front disc brake rotors. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
^ The minimum overall thickness specification shown on each rotor allows for a 0.762mm (0.030
inch) machining cut plus 0.762mm (0.030 inch) additional wear. If rotor thickness falls below the
minimum, it must be replaced.
^ After lathe turning, the finished brake surfaces of the rotor should be flat and parallel within
0.05mm (0.002 in.); lateral runout should not exceed 0.076mm (0.003 inch) total indicator reading.
^ Measure the thickness of the brake linings. If the lining thickness at any point on the assembly is
less than 1.5mm (1/16 inch) above the backing plate or if the lining shows evidence of brake fluid
or oil contamination that is causing a brake pull, replace all four rear brake shoes and linings
(2200).
^ Thickness on each face must be uniform.

Testing and Inspection
Backing Plate: Testing and Inspection
WARNING: Brake assembly dust and dirt should not be removed by either blowing off with an air
gun or vacuuming with a standard industrial vacuum cleaner because a health hazard from
breathing in asbestos dust may develop. Also, any machining done on brake linings or pads should
be done using proper exhaust-ventilated equipment.
NOTE: Removal of dust and dirt from brake assemblies should be done by using the Rotunda
Brake and Clutch Service Vacuum 091-00001 or Rotunda Brake Parts Washer 065-00016 or an
equivalent.
INSPECTION
1. Inspect the brake backing plate for correct mounting and securely tightened mounting nuts.
Torque to 34-47 Nm (25-35 ft lb) 2. Inspect the brake shoe and lining contact pads (where the
brake shoe and lining rests).
^ Deep grooves in the brake shoe and lining contact pads could restrict brake shoe and lining
movement.
^ If grooves exist, hand sand the brake shoe and lining contact pads.
^ If the grooves are still present after hand sanding, the backing plates must be replaced. Any
attempts to remove the grooves by grinding may result in improper brake shoe and lining to brake
drum contact.
3. Inspect all other brake parts and replace any that are worn or damaged.

WARNING: Brake assembly dust and dirt should not be removed by either blowing off with an air
gun or vacuuming with a standard industrial vacuum cleaner because a health hazard from
breathing in asbestos dust may develop. Also, any machining done on brake linings or pads should
be done using proper exhaust-ventilated equipment.
INSPECTION
1. Use Rotunda Brake/Clutch/Service Vacuum 091-R0001 or equivalent to remove all dust from
backing plates and interior of brake drums (1126). 2. A brake drum should be visually inspected
and measured with Rotunda Brake Drum Micrometer 104-00046 or equivalent. Before making an
inspection or measurement, remove grease, brake fluid, or other contaminants from the brake
drum using denatured alcohol.
3. Best shop practice requires measuring every brake drum with a brake drum micrometer
regardless of visual inspection. The brake drum
micrometer is set to the drum diameter and measures the amount and type of wear. Measure the
diameter at various points 45-degrees apart around the brake shoe and lining contact area, and at
the bottom of the deepest groove to determine if the brake drum requires replacement.

Brake Drum: Adjustments
WARNING: Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Avoid contact with eyes.Wash
hands thoroughly after handling. If brake fluid contacts eyes, flush with running water for 15
minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally, drink water and induce
vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.
Rear brake drums are adjusted automatically by sharply applying brake while alternately driving the
vehicle forward and reverse. Brake adjustment occurs during reverse stops only. Manual brake
adjustment is required when the brake shoes are relined or replaced, or if the brake shoe adjusting
lever cables have malfunctioned.
Keep the brake master cylinder reservoir filled with the specified Ford Heavy Duty Brake Fluid
C6AZ-19542-AA or BA (ESA-M6C25-A) or equivalent.
NOTE: Never use brake fluid that has been drained from the system.

Brake Drum: Service and Repair
WARNING: Do not inhale dust from brakes or associated components.Inhalation of dust can be
injurious to your health. Compressed air or brushes must not be used to clean brakes, brake drums
(1126) and associated components. A vacuum cleaner equipped for this purpose should be
carefully used to remove any dust. Adherent dust should be removed with a damp rag. Any dust
should be contained in a sealed and labeled bag for disposal. Wear an approved high efficiency
cartridge or air line respirator and use extra caution to avoid breathing this dust. Always use
non-asbestos replacement parts.
REMOVAL
1. Raise the vehicle so the wheel is clear of the floor and install safety stands under the axle shaft
(4234). 2. Remove the hub cap, if equipped, and wheel (1007).
CAUTION: Use of a drum puller or a torch is not recommended. Drum distortion may result.
3. Remove the retaining nut and remove the brake drum.
CAUTION: Loosen the adjusting screw only if the brake drum cannot be removed. Do not burr,
chip, or damage the notches in the adjusting screw or the self adjusting mechanism will not
function properly.
4. If the brake drum is rusted to the axle shaft pilot diameter, use coarse sandpaper or file to
remove the rust build-up, then work the brake drum off.
Rear Shoe Adjustment
NOTES: If the brake drum will not come off, insert a narrow screwdriver through the brake adjusting hole in
the brake backing plate (2211), and disengage the adjusting lever from the adjusting screw. While
holding the adjusting lever away from the adjusting screw, loosen adjusting screw with Brake
Adjusting Tool D81L-1103-C.
- If the adjusting screw was loosened, check to be sure the adjusting lever is still properly seated in
the shoe web.
INSTALLATION
1. If a new brake drum is to be installed, remove the protective coating from the new brake drum
with carburetor degreaser. 2. Adjust the rear brakes using adjustment Gauge D81L-1103A.
NOTE: Cutting a scored brake drum may be performed as long as the maximum inside diameter is
not exceeded. The maximum inside diameter is imbedded on the drum face.
3. Install the brake drum. 4. Install the brake shoe retracting spring (2296). 5. Install the wheel on
the axle shaft flange studs against the brake drum, and tighten the lugnuts to 115-155 Nm (85-105

Brake Shoe: Testing and Inspection
WARNING: Brake assembly dust and dirt should not be removed by either blowing off with an air
gun or vacuuming with a standard industrial vacuum cleaner because a health hazard from
breathing in asbestos dust may develop. Also, any machining done on brake linings or pads should
be done using proper exhaust-ventilated equipment.
NOTE: Removal of dust and dirt from brake assemblies should be done by using the Rotunda
Brake and Clutch Service Vacuum 091-00001 or Rotunda Brake Parts Washer 065-00016 or an
equivalent.
INSPECTION
1. Inspect rear brake shoes and linings (2200) for excessive lining wear or shoe damage. If lining is
damaged or worn within 0.79mm (1/32 inch) of
the rivet heads on riveted linings, it must be replaced. Replace any rear brake shoe and lining that
has been contaminated with oil, grease or brake fluid. Replace rear brake shoe and lining in axle
sets only. Never replace just one rear brake shoe and lining of a brake assembly. Replace both
primary and secondary shoes. Prior to replacement of lining, brake drum diameter should be
checked to determine that brake drum diameter is within specification. If braking surface diameter
exceeds specification, the brake drum must be replaced.
2. Check condition of rear brake shoes and linings, retracting spring, hold-down springs, and brake
drum for signs of overheating. If rear brake shoe
and lining metal parts have a slight blue coloring, indicating overheating, retracting and hold-down
springs should be replaced. Overheated springs lose their tension and could allow new rear brake
shoe and lining to drag and wear prematurely, if not replaced.

Brake Shoe: Adjustments
The brake drums (1126) are automatically adjusted while driving the vehicle in reverse and sharply
applying the brakes and then driving forward. It may be necessary to do this several times to obtain
the proper rear brake adjustment. Manual brake adjustment is required only after the rear brake
shoes and linings (2200) have been relined or replaced, or if adjuster has malfunctioned.

Brake Shoe: Service and Repair Installation
1. Clean the ledge pads on the brake backing plate (2211). 2. Apply a light coating of disc brake
caliper slide grease D7AZ-19590-A (ESA-M1C172-A) or equivalent at the points where the brake
shoes touch
the brake backing plate.
3. Before installing the rear rear brake shoes and linings, assemble the parking brake lever on the
secondary shoe, secure with the spring washer and
parking brake lever pin retainer.
4. Position the brake shoes on the brake backing plate, and install the brake shoe hold down spring
pins (2069), brake shoe hold down springs
(2068), and brake shoe hold down spring cups (2066) using Hold Down Spring Tool T73T-2300-A.
Install the primary brake shoe parking brake lever link, parking brake link spring, and washer.
Connect the parking brake rear cable and conduit to the parking brake lever.
5. Install the brake shoe anchor pin guide plate, if equipped. Place the cable anchor over the
anchor pin with the crimped side toward the brake
backing plate.
6. Install the primary shoe-to-anchor (short) spring using a brake spring removal/installation tool. 7.
Install the cable guide on the secondary shoe web with the flanged holes fitted into the hole in the
secondary shoe web. Thread the brake shoe
adjusting lever cable around the cable guide groove.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Drum Brake System > Brake Shoe > Component Information >
Service and Repair > Installation > Page 4379
NOTE: Make sure the brake shoe adjusting lever cable is positioned in this groove, and not
between the guide and the shoe web.
8. Install the secondary shoe-to-anchor (long) spring.
NOTE: Make sure the cable end is not cocked or binding on the anchor pin when installed. All parts
should be flat on the anchor pin.
9. Remove the brake cylinder clamp.
CAUTION: Install the brake adjuster screw in the same location from which it was removed.
Interchanging the brake adjuster screws from one side of the vehicle to the other will cause the
brake shoes to retract rather than expand each time the automatic adjusting mechanism is
operated.
NOTE: To prevent incorrect installation, the socket end of each adjusting screw is stamped with R
or L to indicate their installation on the right or left side of the vehicle. The adjusting pivot nuts can
be distinguished by the number of lines machined around the body of the nut. Two lines indicate a
right-hand nut; one line indicates a left-hand nut. Another way to identify adjusters is to check
thread pitch. The right side adjuster has right-hand threads while the left side adjuster has left-hand
threads. The adjuster will also increase in length when the lever is operated if properly installed.
10. Apply Premium Long-Life Grease XG-1-C or -K (ESA-M1C75-B) or equivalent to the threads
and the socket end of the adjusting screw (part of
brake adjuster screw. Turn the adjusting screw into the brake shoe adjusting screw nut (2047) to
the end of the threads and then loosen it one-half turn.
11. Place the brake shoe adjusting screw socket on the brake adjuster screw and install the
assembly between the shoe ends with the brake adjuster
screw nearest the secondary rear brake shoe and lining.
12. Hook the cable hook into the hole in the brake shoe adjusting lever kit from the outboard plate
side. The brake shoe adjusting lever kits are also
stamped with an R or L to indicate their installation on the right or left hand brake assembly.
13. Place the hooked end of the brake shoe adjusting screw spring in the large hole in the primary
shoe web. Connect the loop end of the brake shoe
adjusting screw spring to the adjuster lever hole.
14. Pull the brake shoe adjusting lever kit, brake shoe adjusting lever cable and brake shoe
adjusting screw spring down toward the rear to engage the
pivot hook in the large hole in the secondary shoe web.

15. Check the action of the adjuster by pulling brake shoe adjusting lever cable toward secondary
shoe, activating brake shoe adjusting lever kit. Brake
shoe adjusting lever kit should snap in behind the next tooth of adjuster. Release brake shoe
adjusting lever cable to return brake shoe adjusting lever kit to original position and the adjuster
should turn one notch.
NOTE: If pulling the brake shoe adjusting lever cable does not produce the action described, or if
brake shoe adjusting lever kit action is sluggish instead of positive and sharp, check the position of
the brake shoe adjusting lever kit on the adjusting screw toothed wheel. The brake shoe adjusting
lever kit should contact the adjusting wheel one tooth above the center line of the brake adjuster
screw. If the contact point is below this center line, the brake shoe adjusting lever kit will not lock on
the teeth in the adjusting screw wheel, and the brake adjuster screw will not be turned as the brake
shoe adjusting lever kit is actuated by the brake shoe adjusting lever cable. Service adjuster as
needed.

Brake Shoe: Service and Repair Removal
1. Remove the wheel (1007) and brake drum (1126). 2. Inspect rear wheel cylinder (2261) for signs
of leaks or presence of rust by removing the boots and inspecting interior surfaces. Water leaking
into
the rear wheel cylinder past the boots will cause rust to form and may cause the rear wheel
cylinder to seize.
NOTE: If the boots are not removed, brake fluid leakage past the cups may go undetected because
the boots may seal the fluid in the rear wheel cylinder. If leaks are found, the rear wheel cylinder
must be repaired or replaced.
3. If no leaks are found, install Brake Cylinder Clamp D81L-1103-B or equivalent over the ends of
the rear wheel cylinder as shown. 4. Contract the shoes as follows:
a. Disengage the adjusting lever part of brake shoe adjusting lever kit (2A176) from the adjusting
screw part of brake adjuster screw (2041) by
pulling backward on the brake shoe adjusting lever cable (2A178).
b. Shorten the length of the adjuster by screwing the threaded rod in. This is done by moving the
outward side of the adjusting screw upward until
the pivot nut is backed off as far as it will go.
NOTE: Note the position of each spring, they must be re-assembled in the same position.
5. Pull the brake shoe adjusting lever kit, brake shoe adjusting lever cable and brake shoe
adjusting screw spring (2049) down and toward the rear to
unhook the pivot hook from the large hole in the secondary shoe web. Do not pry the pivot hook out
of the hole.

Wheel Cylinder: Testing and Inspection
WARNING: Brake assembly dust and dirt should not be removed by either blowing off with an air
gun or vacuuming with a standard industrial vacuum cleaner because a health hazard from
breathing in asbestos dust may develop. Also, any machining done on brake linings or pads should
be done using proper exhaust-ventilated equipment.
NOTE: Removal of dust and dirt from brake assemblies should be done by using the Rotunda
Brake and Clutch Service Vacuum 091-00001 or Rotunda Brake Parts Washer 065-00016 or an
equivalent.
INSPECTION
1. Rear wheel cylinders should not be disassembled unless they are leaking. Pull back each rear
wheel cylinder dust boot and inspect for leakage. 2. Excessive brake fluid at this point indicates
leakage past the piston cups and a need for rear wheel cylinder (2261) overhaul. A slight amount of
fluid is nearly always present and acts as a lubricant for the pistons. If evidence of leakage is
noted, the rear wheel cylinder should be disassembled, inspected and overhauled.
3. Inspect the rear wheel cylinder bore for scratches and pitting. If the rear wheel cylinder is pitted
or has deep scratches, the rear wheel cylinder must
be replaced.

Brake Bleeding: Description and Operation
WARNING: Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash
hands thoroughly after handling. If brake fluid contacts eyes, flush with running water for 15
minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally, drink water and induce
vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.
NOTE: When any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for repair or replacement, air
may get into the lines and cause spongy pedal action. This requires the bleeding of the hydraulic
system after it has been properly connected to be sure all air is expelled from the brake cylinders
and lines. The hydraulic system can be bled manually or with pressure bleeding equipment such as
Rotunda(r) brake bleeder 104-00064 or equivalent.
Bleed one brake cylinder at a time. Start the bleeding at the right rear brake wheel cylinder and
then the left rear wheel brake cylinder. Then proceed to bleed the front brakes, starting with the
right front brake and finish bleeding on the left front brake.
Keep the brake master cylinder reservoir filled with the specified Ford Heavy Duty Brake Fluid
C6AZ-19542-AA or BA (ESA-M6C25-A) or equivalent. Never use brake fluid that has been drained
from the system.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Priming Brake System
NOTE: When a brake master cylinder (2140) has been installed, or the brake system emptied or
partially emptied, fluid may not flow from the bleeder screws during normal bleeding. It may be
necessary to prime the brake master cylinder using the following procedure:
1. Use a tubing wrench to remove the front brake tube (2264) and the brake master cylinder outlet
rear tube from the brake master cylinder. 2. Install short brake tubes in the brake master cylinder
and position them so that they curve into the brake master cylinder reservoir (2K478), and the
ends of the tubes are submerged in brake fluid.
3. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with new Ford High Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid
C6AZ-19542-AA or equivalent DOT 3 fluid meeting
Ford specification ESA-M6C25-A.
4. Have an assistant pump the brakes until clear, bubble-free fluid flows from both brake tubes.
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.
5. Remove the short brake tubes and reinstall the front brake tube and brake master cylinder outlet
rear tube on the brake master cylinder. 6. Bleed each brake tube at the brake master cylinder using
the following procedure:
a. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal (2455) 10 times and then hold firm pressure on the
brake pedal. b. On the brake master cylinder, loosen the rearmost brake tube fitting with a tubing
wrench until a stream of brake fluid comes out. Have an
assistant maintain pressure on the brake pedal until the brake tube fitting is tightened again.
c. Repeat this operation until clear, bubble-free fluid comes out from around the tube fitting. Refill
the brake master cylinder reservoir as
necessary.
d. Repeat this bleeding operation at the front brake tube fitting.
7. If any of the brake tubes, disc brake calipers, or rear wheel cylinders have been removed, it may
be helpful to prime the system by gravity
bleeding. This should be done after the brake master cylinder is primed and bled.
8. To gravity bleed the brake system:
a. Fill the brake master cylinder with new Ford High Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid
C6AZ-19542-AA or equivalent DOT 3 fluid meeting Ford
specification ESA-M6C25-A.
b. Loosen both of the rear bleeder screws and leave them open until clear brake fluid flows. Be
sure to check the brake master cylinder reservoir
fluid level often and do not let it run dry.
c. Tighten the wheel cylinder bleeder screws to 7-9 Nm (62-79 in- lb). Tighten rear caliper bleed
screws to 17-24 Nm (13-17 ft-lb). d. One at a time, loosen the front caliper bleeder screws. Leave
the bleeder screws open until clear fluid flows. Check the fluid level often in the
brake master cylinder reservoir and do not let it run dry.
e. Tighten the front caliper bleeder screws to 17-24 Nm (13-17 ft-lb).
9. After the brake system has been primed, bleed the brake system at each wheel.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair 4 Wheel Anti-Lock Brakes (4WABS)
NOTE: The anti-lock brake system must be bled in two steps.
1. The brake master cylinder and Hydraulic Control Unit must be bled using Anti-lock Brake
Adapter T90P-50-ALA and Jumper T93T-50-ALA. If
this procedure is not followed, air will be trapped in the HCU which eventually leads to a spongy
brake pedal.

Brake Caliper: Description and Operation
OPERATION
All vehicles are equipped with front disc brake calipers (2B120). Front disc brake calipers use pin
rail-type caliper assemblies with a cast iron rotor integral with the front hub assembly.
The front disc brake caliper (2B120) consists of a pin slider caliper housing, inner and outer shoe
and lining assemblies, and a wheel cylinder piston (2196). The front disc brake caliper slides on
two pins which also attach the front disc brake caliper to the front wheel spindle (3105).
The caliper housing contains a wheel cylinder piston. The wheel cylinder piston has a molded
rubber dust boot on its outer end that is pressed into a cylinder bore groove to prevent cylinder
contamination. There is also a rectangular section rubber piston seal located in the cylinder bore
providing sealing between the cylinder and wheel cylinder piston. This seal also causes the wheel
cylinder piston to retract once the brakes are released.

Brake Caliper: Service and Repair Inspection
INSTALLATION
1. The wheel cylinder piston must be "bottomed out" when installing new shoe and lining
assemblies. Be sure that enough fluid has been removed
from brake master cylinder (see Step 1 of Removal) to prevent fluid overflow. Bottom out the wheel
cylinder piston with an eight-inch C-clamp using a worn-out inner shoe or a block of wood to push
against the wheel cylinder piston.
2. Place a new brake shoe hold down spring on the lower end of the inner shoe. Be sure the tabs
on the front disc brake caliper are positioned
properly and the front disc brake caliper is fully seated.
3. Position the inner shoe and front disc brake caliper in the shoe abutment of the front wheel
spindle with the anti-rattle clip tab against the shoe
abutment and the loop-type spring away from the front disc brake rotor.
4. Compress the front disc brake caliper and slide the upper end of the shoe in position.
WARNING: Outer shoe torque buttons must be solidly seated in caliper holes or temporary loss of
brakes may occur.
5. Install the outer shoe, making sure the torque buttons on the shoe are seated solidly in the
matching holes in the front disc brake caliper. 6. Make sure the mounting surfaces are free of dirt
and corrosion, and lubricate the caliper grooves with Disc Brake Caliper Grease D7AZ-19590-A
(ESA-M1C172-A) or equivalent, then position the front disc brake caliper on the front wheel
spindle.
NOTE: Be sure to install the caliper pins so the retention tabs will be in contact with the front wheel
spindle, not the front disc brake caliper. When the upper pin is properly positioned, the retention
tabs will be at the top, against the front wheel spindle. When the lower pin is properly positioned,
the retention tabs will be at the bottom, also in contact with the front wheel spindle.

Information > Service and Repair > Front > Page 4413
Caliper Slide Pin Positioning
7. From the caliper outboard side, position the pin between the front disc brake caliper and spindle
grooves. The pin must be positioned so the tabs
will be installed against the spindle outer face.
NOTE: During the installation procedure, do not allow the tabs of the caliper pin to be tapped too
far into the spindle groove. If this happens, it will be necessary to tap the other end of the caliper
pin until the tabs snap into place. The tabs on each end of the caliper pin must be free to catch on
the spindle face.
Caliper Pin Installation
8. Tap the pin on the outboard end with a hammer. Continue tapping the pin inward until the
retention tabs on the sides of the pin contact the front
wheel spindle face. Repeat procedure for the lower pin.
9. If removed, install the front brake hose to the front disc brake caliper.
10. If the front brake hose was removed, perform brake bleeding procedures. 11. Install the wheel
and tire assembly. Tighten lugnuts to 114-141 Nm (85-105 ft lb). 12. Lower vehicle, check the
brake fluid level and fill as necessary. Check brakes for proper operation then recheck brake fluid
level in brake master
cylinder. Fill as necessary.

Brake Caliper: Service and Repair Removal
NOTE: If the front disc brake calipers are to be removed for service other than to replace brake
shoes, fluid removal from the brake master cylinder (2140) may not be required. Removing some
fluid will prevent fluid from overflowing from the brake master cylinder when the wheel cylinder
piston are pressed into their bores.
CAUTION: System contamination may result if anything other than a clean device is used to
remove fluid from brake master cylinder.
REMOVAL
1. Use a clean siphon or suction hose to remove a portion of the fluid from the brake master
cylinder. Discard the removed fluid. 2. Raise the vehicle and install safety stands. Remove a front
wheel and tire assembly.
CAUTIONS: ^
Do not position C-clamp on the brake shoe hold down spring. Also, do not compress wheel cylinder
piston further than is required to disengage torque buttons from front disc brake caliper. Damage to
the brake shoe hold down spring will result. Replace shoe if brake shoe hold down spring is bent or
damaged.
^ Do not attempt to "bottom" the wheel cylinder piston in the bore at this time. Use an old, worn out
brake shoe or block of wood and the C-clamp to bottom the wheel cylinder piston once the front
disc brake caliper is removed from front disc brake rotor, and the shoes are removed from the front
disc brake caliper.
3. Use an eight-inch C-clamp to move the wheel cylinder piston back into its bore as follows:
a. Place the head of the C-clamp against the front disc brake caliper, and the screw end of the
C-clamp against the outer shoe below the spring
clip.
b. Tighten the clamp until the torque buttons just clear the caliper (about 3mm [1/8 inch]). Remove
the C-clamp. c. Do not use a screwdriver or similar tool to pry the wheel cylinder piston away from
the front disc brake rotor.
4. Clean excess dirt from area around pin tabs. 5. Using Caliper Pin Remover D89T-2196-A or
equivalent and a light hammer, drive the caliper pin from the front disc brake caliper as follows:

Caliper Pin Removal
a. Position the notched end of the tool against the caliper pin (retention tab half), at a 45° angle
from the pin retention tabs. b. Tap the tool with the hammer to compress the retention tabs. c. As
the retention tabs are compressed, move the tool to gain a straight approach to the pin, and
continue tapping to drive the pin through the
caliper/spindle groove.
6. Remove the front disc brake caliper from the rotor. If the front disc brake caliper is to be removed
for service, disconnect the brake hose from the
front disc brake caliper. If not, secure the front disc brake caliper with wire.
NOTE: do not let the front disc brake caliper hang with its weight on the front brake hose (2078).

Brake Hose/Line: Testing and Inspection
Replace a flexible brake hose if it shows signs of softening, cracking or other damage. When
installing a new brake hose, position the hose to avoid contact with other vehicle parts.
The wet appearance of the outer cover of rubber brake hoses is called "sweating". This is a normal
condition for neoprene rayon braid hose. The "sweating" condition is not evidence of a brake fluid
leak and will not result in a loss of pressure in the system.

4WABS Hydraulic Control Unit: Description and Operation
4WABS Hydraulic Schematic
PURPOSE
The Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) is used to control brake hydraulic pressure to prevent wheel
lock-up during braking.
OPERATION
The HCU is located in the front of the engine compartment on the left frame rail. It consists of a
valve body assembly, a pump and a motor assembly. During normal braking, fluid from the master
cylinder enters the HCU through two inlet ports located at the top of the HCU. The fluid then
passes through three normally open inlet valves, one to each wheel in the front and one line to the
rear wheels. If the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) senses that a wheel is about to lock, the ECU
pulses the appropriate inlet valve which closes that valve. This prevents any more fluid from
entering the affected brake. The ECU then looks at that wheel again. If it is still decelerating, the
ECU pulses the normally closed outlet valve which decreases the pressure trapped in the line.
NOTE: The valve body, the pump and the motor are not serviceable separately.

Brake Master Cylinder: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
Normal/Abnormal Conditions
NOTE: The following conditions are considered normal and are not indications that the brake
master cylinder is in need of service.
NORMAL CONDITIONS
- Condition 1: During normal operation of the brake master cylinder, the fluid level in the brake
master cylinder reservoir will fall during brake
application and rise during release. The net fluid level, i.e., after brake application and release, will
remain unchanged.
- Condition 2: A trace of brake fluid existing 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.
ABNORMAL CONDITIONS
- Changes in brake pedal feel or travel are indicators that something could be wrong in the brake
system.
NOTE: Prior to performing any diagnosis, make certain the brake system warning lamp is
functional.
- The diagnostic techniques and service procedures are referenced in the Brake Master Cylinder
Diagnostic Pinpoint charts
Inspection
1. Clean all master cylinder parts in clean isopropyl alcohol, or use the Rotunda(r) Brake Parts
Washer 065-00016 or equivalent and inspect the parts
for wear or damage. Replace them if required. When a master cylinder repair kit is used, follow the
instructions in the kit and install all of the parts provided.
2. Make sure all ports and vents in the brake master cylinder are open and free of foreign matter.

Brake Master Cylinder: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
Brake Master Cylinder Reservoir Checking and Filling
Brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir should be between 4mm (0.16 inch) below
the MAX line on the side of the brake master cylinder reservoir and the MAX line. If brake fluid is
low, the red brake indicator will illuminate. To add brake fluid, clean and remove anti-lock reservoir
cap and pour clean brake fluid into the top of the brake master cylinder reservoir. Fill to
specification mentioned above. Use Heavy-Duty Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AA (ESA-M6C25-A) or
Dot 3 equivalent. If brake fluid has to be added often, check all hydraulic connections for leaks.
Non-Pressure Leaks
The only part of the brake system that could have a brake fluid loss that did not appear when the
system is under pressure is the brake master cylinder reservoir area. Brake fluid loss could be
caused by a missing or poorly fitted brake master cylinder filler cap, from a punctured or otherwise
damaged brake master cylinder reservoir, by a missing or damaged brake master cylinder filler cap
gasket, or at the sealing grommets between the brake master cylinder and the brake master
cylinder reservoir.
The brake master cylinder reservoir grommets are not separately serviceable and must be
replaced with a new brake master cylinder reservoir.

Wheel Cylinder: Testing and Inspection
WARNING: Brake assembly dust and dirt should not be removed by either blowing off with an air
gun or vacuuming with a standard industrial vacuum cleaner because a health hazard from
breathing in asbestos dust may develop. Also, any machining done on brake linings or pads should
be done using proper exhaust-ventilated equipment.
NOTE: Removal of dust and dirt from brake assemblies should be done by using the Rotunda
Brake and Clutch Service Vacuum 091-00001 or Rotunda Brake Parts Washer 065-00016 or an
equivalent.
INSPECTION
1. Rear wheel cylinders should not be disassembled unless they are leaking. Pull back each rear
wheel cylinder dust boot and inspect for leakage. 2. Excessive brake fluid at this point indicates
leakage past the piston cups and a need for rear wheel cylinder (2261) overhaul. A slight amount of
fluid is nearly always present and acts as a lubricant for the pistons. If evidence of leakage is
noted, the rear wheel cylinder should be disassembled, inspected and overhauled.
3. Inspect the rear wheel cylinder bore for scratches and pitting. If the rear wheel cylinder is pitted
or has deep scratches, the rear wheel cylinder must
be replaced.

Parking Brake Control: Service and Repair Cable Tension, Release
NOTE: If any component in the parking brake system requires servicing, the cable tension must be
released. After servicing is completed, the front parking brake cable and conduits (2853) and
parking brake rear cable and conduits (2A635) are connected to the parking brake cable bracket
(2530) and tension is reset. Refer to the following procedures for releasing and resetting cable
tension.
1. Place the parking brake control (2780) in the "released" position.
Parking Brake Control
2. While an assistant relieves tension on the system by pulling on the parking brake intermediate
cable, insert a 4mm (5/32-inch), steel pin or
equivalent drill bit into the hole provided in the parking brake control.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the plastic coating on the cable strand. Remove the parking brake
rear cable and conduits (2A635) from the parking brake cable bracket (2530).
3. Another method, which releases tension on the parking brake rear cable and conduits only, is to
pull rearward on the parking brake rear cable and
conduit about 25-50mm (1.0-2.0 inches) and place a clamp on the parking brake rear cable and
conduit behind the rear frame crossmember (5035).
4. Another method which can be used is to remove the bolts attaching the parking brake control to
the floor pan, and pull the parking brake control
upward and forward to rotate the spring-loaded ratchet wheel as far as possible.

Technical Instructions
NOTE:
It is imperative that you fully read the following procedures and complete all the steps in the
procedure. This procedure includes some inspection and verification steps in addition to those
included in prior TSB's on this subject.
Inspection
1. Park the vehicle in a flat area. Turn the ignition "OFF".
2.
If the vehicle is a 1992 or 1993 F-Series or Bronco, inspect the release rod and spring for proper
position.
The release rod must be fully inserted into the slot in the bracket and the spring must be located
behind the slot in the bracket. Refer to Figure 1. 3.
Inspect parking brake control assembly to determine what action is required.
a. If the parking brake control assembly is of the new cam-in post design. it does not require
installation of the wedge. See Figure 2. DO NOT PROCEED. File form 1864 for inspection only and
release the vehicle.

Lock In Wedge Installation > Page 4519
b. If the wedge has been previously installed as illustrated in Figure 3.
^ If wedge is properly installed, go to PARKING BRAKE FUNCTIONAL TEST.
^ If wedge is not installed as shown in figures, remove wedge as outlined in Steps 1 through 4 of
PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE, then continue with WEDGE INSTALLATION.
c. If the wedge is not present or the vehicle is not equipped with the cam-in post design parking
brake control assembly, proceed with WEDGE INSTALLATION.
NOTE:
Previously installed wedges may be translucent rather than white (Bronco/F-Series) or Black
(Ranger/Explorer).
Lock-In Wedge Installation
1. Apply and release parking brake at least six (6) times allowing pedal to return each item without
any interference. This will "neutralize" the parking brake cable system and allow for proper
evaluation of the system once the wedge is installed.
2.
Apply foot pressure to the pedal so that the pedal rotates (about 2-1/2" to 3") from the
"RELEASED" position. See Figure 4.
WARNING
BE CAREFUL NOT TO ACCIDENTALLY RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE SPRING LOADED
RELEASE ARM DURING THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE BY PULLING ANYWHERE ON
THIS RELEASE LEVER.

8.
Use a small hammer and punch to apply light force to the back end (or drive area) of the wedge.
See Figure 10.
9.
Use sufficient force to ensure adequate seating of the wedge into the ratchet teeth. On
Explorer/Ranger models, more force may be required to completely seat wedge. Check the wedge
for proper alignment with the pawl after seating. See Figure 11.
10.
After the wedge is properly seated, cycle the lever mechanism "APPLIED" and "RELEASED" a
minimum of six (6) times, leaving the pedal in the full "APPLIED" position after the last application.
11.
Recheck the wedge to be sure it is fully engaged in its proper position.
NOTE:
The parking brake light should be off when the parking brake is released. If the light is on with the
parking brake released, check the wedge installation (Step 9).
Parking Brake Functional Test
NOTE:
The installation of the lock-in wedge disables the self-adjusting feature of the parking brake control
assembly. The following parking brake functional test must be performed to verify proper parking
brake system adjustment.
1. Place vehicle on hoist with the transmission in neutral.
a. Verify the parking brake is fully released. Check for brake drag by turning the rear wheels by
hand.

Kentucky Truck 2/16/94
Kansas City Assembly 4/22/94
All 1993-1994 Model Year Ranger/Explorer vehicles with manual transmission produced prior to
5/01/94.
Reasons For Recall During rapid pedal application, the parking brake pedal, with little or no effort,
may go to the floor and the parking brake may be ineffective in holding the vehicle stationary.
Should this occur, the self-adjustment pawl may skip over one or more teeth on the ratchet. To
correct this condition, a lock-in wedge will be installed in the parking brake assembly. This wedge
locks out the self-adjustment mechanism and retains the adjustment pawl in mesh with the ratchet.
WARNING
DO NOT PARK THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL. USE FIRST (1) GEAR AND SET THE PARKING
BRAKE FULLY. ALWAYS SET THE PARKING BRAKE FULLY AND TURN OFF THE IGNITION
WHEN LEAVING THE VEHICLE.
NOTE:
When the transfer case is in the N (Neutral) Position, the engine and transmission are
disconnected from the rest of the driveline. Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the manual
transmission is in gear. Do not leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in N (Neutral).
Always set the parking brake fully and turn off the ignition when leaving the vehicle. Make sure that
the gearshift is securely positioned in First (1) gear.
NOTE:
If the parking brake pedal moves to the floor with little or no effort when applied, release and reset
the parking brake. Never leave your vehicle unattended while it is running. If you do not take these
precautions, your vehicle may move unexpectedly and injure someone.

Mr. John Sample 123 Main Street Anywhere, USA 12345 This notice is sent to you in accordance
with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Ford Motor Company
has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1992-1994
Model Year Bronco, F-150-35- Series pickup trucks and chassis cabs and 1993-1994 Model Year
Explorers and Rangers.
Safety Defect During rapid pedal application of the parking brake, the pedal may go to the floor with
little or no effort. Should this occur, the parking brake system nay not achieve full tension,
potentially resulting in parking brake ineffectiveness, or diminished effectiveness.
Repairs At no charge to you, your dealer will install a parking brake lock-in wedge. This wedge
retains the adjustment pawl in mesh with the ratchet. Dealers currently have instructions and parts
ordering information.
Warning
Do not park the vehicle in Neutral. Use First (1) gear and set the parking brake fully. (Note: When
the transfer case is in the N (neutral) Position, the engine and transmission are disconnected from
the rest of the driveline. Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the manual transmission is in
gear. Do not leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in N (Neutral)). Always set the
parking brake fully and turn off the ignition when leaving the vehicle. Make sure that the gearshift is
securely positioned in first (1) gear.
NOTE:
If the parking brake pedal moves to the floor with little or no effort when applied, release and reset
the parking brake. Never leave your vehicle unattended while it is running. If you do not take these
precautions, your vehicle may move unexpectedly and injure someone.
How Long Will It Take? The time needed for this service is about one-half hour. However, due to
service scheduling times, your dealer may need your vehicle for one full working day.

Technical Instructions
NOTE:
It is imperative that you fully read the following procedures and complete all the steps in the
procedure. This procedure includes some inspection and verification steps in addition to those
included in prior TSB's on this subject.
Inspection
1. Park the vehicle in a flat area. Turn the ignition "OFF".
2.
If the vehicle is a 1992 or 1993 F-Series or Bronco, inspect the release rod and spring for proper
position.
The release rod must be fully inserted into the slot in the bracket and the spring must be located
behind the slot in the bracket. Refer to Figure 1. 3.
Inspect parking brake control assembly to determine what action is required.
a. If the parking brake control assembly is of the new cam-in post design. it does not require
installation of the wedge. See Figure 2. DO NOT PROCEED. File form 1864 for inspection only and
release the vehicle.

Recall - Parking Brake Lock In Wedge Installation > Page 4543
b. If the wedge has been previously installed as illustrated in Figure 3.
^ If wedge is properly installed, go to PARKING BRAKE FUNCTIONAL TEST.
^ If wedge is not installed as shown in figures, remove wedge as outlined in Steps 1 through 4 of
PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE, then continue with WEDGE INSTALLATION.
c. If the wedge is not present or the vehicle is not equipped with the cam-in post design parking
brake control assembly, proceed with WEDGE INSTALLATION.
NOTE:
Previously installed wedges may be translucent rather than white (Bronco/F-Series) or Black
(Ranger/Explorer).
Lock-In Wedge Installation
1. Apply and release parking brake at least six (6) times allowing pedal to return each item without
any interference. This will "neutralize" the parking brake cable system and allow for proper
evaluation of the system once the wedge is installed.
2.
Apply foot pressure to the pedal so that the pedal rotates (about 2-1/2" to 3") from the
"RELEASED" position. See Figure 4.
WARNING
BE CAREFUL NOT TO ACCIDENTALLY RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE SPRING LOADED
RELEASE ARM DURING THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE BY PULLING ANYWHERE ON
THIS RELEASE LEVER.

3.
Check that the pawl is fully seated in the bottom of a ratchet tooth. See Figure 5. If not, re-cycle
pedal as outlined in Step 2.
4.
After full engagement of the pawl and ratchet is assured, apply foot pressure to the pedal to fully
rotate the pedal to the full "APPLIED" position (this allows you more room to make installation
easier). See Figure 6.

5. Grab the tab of the wedge (Figure 7) with needle nose pliers and position it so that the small
teeth on the concave surface are pointing up.
NOTE:
The Explorer/Ranger and Bronco/F-Series wedges are not the same.
The wedge for the Explorer/Ranger is black, and the wedge for the Bronco/F-Series is white. See
Figure 8 for identification of the wedges.
6.
Using needle nose pliers, insert the wedge between the pawl and the ratchet with the flange of the
wedge behind the pawl and ratchet. See Figure 9.
7.
Check that the wedge is properly located between the pawl and the ratchet and that the flange is
behind the pawl and ratchet.

Recall - Parking Brake Lock In Wedge Installation > Page 4546
8.
Use a small hammer and punch to apply light force to the back end (or drive area) of the wedge.
See Figure 10.
9.
Use sufficient force to ensure adequate seating of the wedge into the ratchet teeth. On
Explorer/Ranger models, more force may be required to completely seat wedge. Check the wedge
for proper alignment with the pawl after seating. See Figure 11.
10.
After the wedge is properly seated, cycle the lever mechanism "APPLIED" and "RELEASED" a
minimum of six (6) times, leaving the pedal in the full "APPLIED" position after the last application.
11.
Recheck the wedge to be sure it is fully engaged in its proper position.
NOTE:
The parking brake light should be off when the parking brake is released. If the light is on with the
parking brake released, check the wedge installation (Step 9).
Parking Brake Functional Test
NOTE:
The installation of the lock-in wedge disables the self-adjusting feature of the parking brake control
assembly. The following parking brake functional test must be performed to verify proper parking
brake system adjustment.
1. Place vehicle on hoist with the transmission in neutral.
a. Verify the parking brake is fully released. Check for brake drag by turning the rear wheels by
hand.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Parking Brake Pedal: > 94S91 > Nov > 94 >
Recall - Parking Brake Lock In Wedge Installation > Page 4547
b. Check for a firm pedal feel while fully applying the parking brakes.
2.
If vehicle experiences either brake drag or a "soft" pedal, go to PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
PROCEDURE.
Parking Brake Adjustment Procedure
NOTE:
Perform the following adjustment procedure only if directed here from the Parking Brake Functional
Test or only perform Steps 1 thru 4 if wedge removal is required.
To perform the parking brake adjustment procedure, the lock wedge must first be removed from the
control assembly. Upon completion of the adjustment procedure, the wedge must be reinstalled.
1. To remove the wedge, apply pressure to the pedal until a full travel position is achieved. The
pedal will be in a vertical position.
2.
Use a pair of standard pliers or needle nose vice grips to grip the tab of the lock-in wedge.
WARNING
CARE MUST BE USED TO AVOID ACTIVATING THE RELEASE LEVER DURING WEDGE
REMOVAL.
3.
With a twisting motion, pull out the wedge.
4.
Inspect the wedge for damage. If the tab is broken off, if it is missing teeth or if it is severely
damaged in any other fashion, discard it. Obtain a new wedge for installation.
5.
Release the parking brake.
6.
With the vehicle still on a hoist, have an assistant rotate one rear wheel to check for drag while you
pull on the appropriate cable until a slight drag is felt at the wheel.
a. F-Series/Bronco - pull forward on corresponding rear cable at equalizer.
b. Explorer/Ranger - pull forward on front cable.
7.
At this point, push rearward on the cable a slight amount until the wheel spins freely.
8.
Have the assistant rotate the opposite wheel and adjust the corresponding cable as outlined in
steps 6 and 7.
9.
Recheck the first wheel to verify correct parking brake adjustment.
10.
Apply the parking brake and install wedge as outlined in steps 2-11 of LOCK-IN WEDGE
INSTALLATION.
11.
Perform PARKING BRAKE FUNCTIONAL TEST.

Affected Vehicles: Certain 1992-1994 Model Year Bronco, F150-350 Series Trucks equipped with
manual transmissions and produced prior to the following dates:
ASSEMBLY PLANT PRODUCTION DATE
Norfolk Assembly 1/27/94
Michigan Truck 2/04/94
Ontario Truck 2/09/94
Kentucky Truck 2/16/94
Kansas City Assembly 4/22/94
All 1993-1994 Model Year Ranger/Explorer vehicles with manual transmission produced prior to
5/01/94.
Reasons For Recall During rapid pedal application, the parking brake pedal, with little or no effort,
may go to the floor and the parking brake may be ineffective in holding the vehicle stationary.
Should this occur, the self-adjustment pawl may skip over one or more teeth on the ratchet. To
correct this condition, a lock-in wedge will be installed in the parking brake assembly. This wedge
locks out the self-adjustment mechanism and retains the adjustment pawl in mesh with the ratchet.
WARNING
DO NOT PARK THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL. USE FIRST (1) GEAR AND SET THE PARKING
BRAKE FULLY. ALWAYS SET THE PARKING BRAKE FULLY AND TURN OFF THE IGNITION
WHEN LEAVING THE VEHICLE.
NOTE:
When the transfer case is in the N (Neutral) Position, the engine and transmission are
disconnected from the rest of the driveline. Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the manual
transmission is in gear. Do not leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in N (Neutral).
Always set the parking brake fully and turn off the ignition when leaving the vehicle. Make sure that
the gearshift is securely positioned in First (1) gear.
NOTE:
If the parking brake pedal moves to the floor with little or no effort when applied, release and reset
the parking brake. Never leave your vehicle unattended while it is running. If you do not take these
precautions, your vehicle may move unexpectedly and injure someone.

Mr. John Sample 123 Main Street Anywhere, USA 12345 This notice is sent to you in accordance
with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Ford Motor Company
has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1992-1994
Model Year Bronco, F-150-35- Series pickup trucks and chassis cabs and 1993-1994 Model Year
Explorers and Rangers.
Safety Defect During rapid pedal application of the parking brake, the pedal may go to the floor with
little or no effort. Should this occur, the parking brake system nay not achieve full tension,
potentially resulting in parking brake ineffectiveness, or diminished effectiveness.
Repairs At no charge to you, your dealer will install a parking brake lock-in wedge. This wedge
retains the adjustment pawl in mesh with the ratchet. Dealers currently have instructions and parts
ordering information.
Warning
Do not park the vehicle in Neutral. Use First (1) gear and set the parking brake fully. (Note: When
the transfer case is in the N (neutral) Position, the engine and transmission are disconnected from
the rest of the driveline. Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the manual transmission is in
gear. Do not leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in N (Neutral)). Always set the
parking brake fully and turn off the ignition when leaving the vehicle. Make sure that the gearshift is
securely positioned in first (1) gear.
NOTE:
If the parking brake pedal moves to the floor with little or no effort when applied, release and reset
the parking brake. Never leave your vehicle unattended while it is running. If you do not take these
precautions, your vehicle may move unexpectedly and injure someone.
How Long Will It Take? The time needed for this service is about one-half hour. However, due to
service scheduling times, your dealer may need your vehicle for one full working day.

3. Tandem Power Diaphragms (Part of 2005)
4. Vacuum Port Closed Brakes On (Part of 2005)

8. Master Cylinder Push Rod (Part of 2005)
PURPOSE
In vehicles powered by gasoline engines, vacuum boosters make use of the vacuum produced in
the intake manifold to apply additional force to the master cylinder push rod.
OPERATION
A vacuum booster is a container whose inner space is divided by a diaphragm into two separate
chambers. The brake pedal push rod enters on one side, and the master cylinder push rod exits on
the other.
There are three valves that control the vacuum in the booster. The check valve opens to allow the
intake manifold vacuum to evacuate the booster. When it closes, it holds the vacuum in the
chambers. The equalizer valve links the two chambers. When it is open, the vacuum in the
chambers can equalize; when it closes, the chambers are separated. The vacuum bleed valve
functions to reduce the amount of vacuum in chamber B when boost is required.
As the brake pedal push rod moves forward, its motion closes the equalizer valve. This isolates
chambers A and B, but they are still under vacuum. As the brake pedal push rod moves farther
ahead, a port in the brake pedal push rod begins to line up the ports in the sleeve. This vents
chamber B to the outside and reduces the amount of vacuum in chamber B. With more vacuum in
chamber A and less in chamber B, the diaphragm is forced forward in the direction of the master
cylinder push rod, providing a boost.
The vacuum bleed valve is not just an open/close valve. A spring located at the forward end of the
brake pedal push rod allows the push rod and the sleeve to slide back and forth in relation to each
other as the brake pedal is activated. This opens and closes the vent in such a way that only the
required amount of vacuum is drawn on. Hard braking bleeds off more vacuum, producing more
boost. Light braking generates less boost. Once the level of boost corresponds with the applied
pedal force, the bleed valve closes and holds that level.

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

Vacuum Brake Booster: Adjustments
The push rod has an adjustment screw to maintain the correct relationship between the master
cylinder push rod and the master cylinder piston. If the push rod is too long it will prevent the
master cylinder piston from completely releasing hydraulic pressure, causing the brakes to drag. If
the push rod is too short it will cause excessive pedal travel and an undesirable clunk in the
booster area. Remove the brake master cylinder for access to the booster push rod.
Power Brake Booster Push Rod Adjustment Gauge
To check the adjustment of the adjustment screw, fabricate a gauge using the dimensions shown in
the illustration, and place it against the master cylinder mounting surface of the booster body as
shown below. The engine must be running, with the intake manifold vacuum hose connected to the
power brake booster, while checking the adjustment. Adjust the push rod screw by turning the
adjustment screw in until the end just touches the inner edge of the slot in the gauge.

NOTE: The only serviceable components of the power brake booster (2005) are the power brake
booster check valve (2365), the adjustable push rod and the rubber reaction disc. The rubber
reaction disc can be repositioned if the master cylinder push rod is removed or accidentally pulled
out. If the disc cannot be properly installed and aligned, or if it cannot be located within the power
brake booster, the power brake booster must be replaced as an assembly.
Make sure the booster rubber reaction disc is properly installed if the master cylinder push rod is
removed or accidentally pulled out. A dislodged disc may cause excessive pedal travel and
extreme operation sensitivity. The disc is black, compared to the silver colored valve plunger that
will be exposed after the push rod and front seal is removed. The power brake booster is serviced
as an assembly and must be replaced if the reaction disc cannot be properly installed and aligned,
or if it cannot be located within the unit itself. REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the stoplamp switch wiring to prevent running the battery down. 2. Support the brake
master cylinder (2140) from the underside with a prop. 3. Remove the master cylinder-to-booster
retaining nuts. 4. Remove the power brake booster.

4WABS Control Module: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The ECU monitors system operation during normal driving as well as during anti-lock braking.
OPERATION
Under normal driving conditions, the microprocessors produce short test pulses to check the
electrical system without any mechanical reaction. The ECU continuously monitors the speed of
each wheel to determine if any wheel is beginning to lock. When a wheel locking tendency is
detected, the ECU signals the appropriate solenoid valve in the hydraulic control unit to open or
close as well as the pump motor to turn on and recycle brake fluid back to the master cylinder. This
results in moderate pulsations of the brake pedal and pump noise which may be heard in the
passenger compartment. During normal braking, the brake pedal feel will be identical to a standard
brake system.
Most concerns which occur to the anti-lock brake system will be stored as a coded number in the
Keep-Alive Memory (KAM) of the ECU. This means that once a code is stored, it will be retained by
the ECU even with the key in the OFF position. The codes can be retrieved by following the
on-board diagnostic procedures. Refer to Diagnosis and Testing.
CONSTRUCTION
It is an on-board diagnostic, non-repairable unit consisting of two microprocessors and the
necessary circuitry for their operation. These microprocessors are programmed identically.
LOCATION
The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is located in the engine compartment behind the driver's side
headlamp on a bracket mounted on the surface of the plastic fender apron.

Acceleration Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The G-switch detects and indicates to the anti-lock brake control module whether or not the vehicle
is moving.
OPERATION
The G-switch is used on 4x4 vehicles only. When driven in the 4-wheel drive mode all four wheels
are mechanically linked and a situation could arise in which one wheel locks up and causes all four
wheels to lock up and skid. The speed sensors would indicate the vehicle speed as zero. Without
the G-switch, the anti-lock brake control module (2B373) would have no data to compare and

Axle Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The anti-lock brake system uses three sets of variable-reluctance sensors and toothed speed
sensor rings to determine the rotational speed of each wheel.
OPERATION
The sensors operate on magnetic induction principle. As the teeth on the speed indicator ring
rotate past the stationary sensor, a signal proportional to the speed of the rotation is generated and
sent to the ECU through a twisted-pair wire cable and wiring harness.
LOCATION
The front sensors are attached to the suspension knuckles, and the speed indicator rings are
pressed onto the backside of the rotor. The rear sensor is bolted into the rear axle housing and the
rear speed sensor ring is pressed onto the rear axle carrier assembly.

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

Clutch Pedal Position Switch: Description and Operation
OPERATION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) sends out a 5 volt reference to the Clutch Pedal Position
(CPP) switch. When the switch is "OPEN" (clutch DEPRESSED), the PCM senses voltage. When
the switch is "CLOSED" (clutch RELEASED), the PCM senses no voltage. The PCM uses this
input to determine engine load and to adjust idle speed accordingly.

Starter Motor: Testing and Inspection No-Load Test
The starter No-Load test will uncover such conditions as open or shorted windings, or rubbing
armature. The starter can be tested, at no-load, on the test bench only.
1. Make test connections with Rotunda Starting and Charging Tester tool No. 078-00005, or
equivalent. Ensure cables connected to starter are
sufficient to carry high current flow (the same gauge wire as in vehicle).
2. Set rheostat at maximum counterclockwise position, ensuring no current is flowing through
ammeter. Record exact reading on voltmeter. 3. Disconnect starter from battery, then reduce
resistance of rheostat until voltmeter indicates same reading as that obtained while starter was
running. 4. The ammeter will indicate starter no-load current draw. Refer to electrical specifications
for comparison. 5. Check for rubbing armature, bent shaft, binding bearings, or shorts in armature
and/or brushes if current exceeds specification.

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

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest for Electronic Noise Suppressor: > 02-16-4 > Aug
> 02 > Audio System - Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 4773
NOTE
IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRONIC RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEM, DO NOT INSTALL A
RFI FILTER INLINE TO THE FUEL PUMP . ONLY VEHICLES WITH MECHANICAL
RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEMS (PRESSURE REGULATOR IN THE TANK), OR SYSTEMS
WITH THE PRESSURE REGULATOR ON THE FUEL RAIL SHOULD BE APPROVED FOR THE
RFI FILTER INSTALLATION.
NOTE
SOME LIGHT TRUCKS REQUIRE ONE (1) RFI FILTER FOR EACH IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL
PUMP ON MULTI-TANK VEHICLES.
NOTE
THIS TSB DOES NOT INCLUDE TAURUS FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES (FFVS) OR 1999
RANGER 3.0L FFVS.
TEST PROCEDURE
Fuel pump radio noise is relatively constant and changes only slightly with vehicle speed. If the
frequency of the noise varies or the noise comes and goes with the vehicle speed, then it is not the
fuel pump and this fix will not be effective. The following procedure will help determine if the fuel
pump is the cause of the radio noise:
1. Turn on the radio before the key is turned on (assuming the radio will operate without the ignition
key - you may need to put the ignition key in the Accessory position).
2. Turn the ignition key to the Run position (do not start the engine).
3. The fuel pump should run for about 1 second with the key in the Run position with the engine not
running. Listen for noise in the radio. If noise is present while the pump is running and stops when
the pump stops, then the noise is being generated by the pump and this procedure should help.

NOTE
HEAT SHRINK TUBING MUST BE USED OVER ALL SOLDERED CONNECTIONS MADE PER
THIS TSB. USE SUFFICIENT TUBING (ABOUT 50 mm (2 ")) OF THE SPECIFIED TYPE TO
ENTIRELY COVER EACH SOLDERED CONNECTION AND SHRINK APPROPRIATELY TO
PREVENT EXPOSURE OF THE CONNECTIONS.
NOTE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH EXTREMELY LONG FUEL PUMP GROUND WIRE CIRCUITS, IT
MAY BE NECESSARY TO SHORTEN THE GROUND WIRE TO A POINT CLOSE TO THE FUEL
TANK. IF THE GROUND IS MOVED, BE SURE IT IS SECURE AND PROTECTED FROM
CORROSION SINCE IT IS THE OPERATING GROUND FOR THE PUMP. CHECK SERVICE
LITERATURE (EVTM, ETC.) FOR GROUND LOCATIONS.
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.
4. Secure the RFI filter to the fuel pump and sender assembly with a Bundling Strap (95873-S101)
to prevent rattling in the tank, Figures 1 and 2.
5. Reinstall the fuel pump sender assembly into the fuel tank.
CAUTION
INSTALL NEW GASKETS WHEN REINSTALLING SENDER TO PREVENT LEAKS. REFER TO
THE PARTS CATALOG FOR PROPER APPLICATIONS.
6. Check the appropriate Electrical and Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual (EVTM) (or other service
literature) for the location of the fuel pump ground. If ground is more than 0.9m (3 ') from the tank,
cut wire and ground fuel pump end within 0.9m (3 ') of the tank to prevent ground wire from acting
as an antenna. Be sure ground is secure and protected from corrosion since it is the operating
ground for the fuel pump.
7. Install the fuel tank in the vehicle as outlined in the appropriate Service or Workshop Manual.

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.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Electronic Noise Suppressor: >
02-16-4 > Aug > 02 > Audio System - Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 4786
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.

VILLAGER
ISSUE: Some vehicles may need re-work of the 14401 wiring harness. While attaching the harness
connector to the ignition switch, a non-mating condition may occur. This is due to a design revision
(larger tower on switch) of the ignition switch, and not having the proper spacer to clear the switch
tower.
ACTION: While re-working any 14401 harness (on affected vehicles built after 5/20/94), determine
if the correct spacer (F4TB-14A468-CA) is attached to the ignition switch connector. The correct
spacer will allow the "old" or "new" 14A464 connector to mate with the ignition switch assemblies
F2DC-11572-AA or F4DC-11572-AA. Refer to the following service procedures.

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.

Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest for Electronic Noise Suppressor: > 02-16-4 > Aug > 02 > Audio System Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 5031
NOTE
IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRONIC RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEM, DO NOT INSTALL A
RFI FILTER INLINE TO THE FUEL PUMP . ONLY VEHICLES WITH MECHANICAL
RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEMS (PRESSURE REGULATOR IN THE TANK), OR SYSTEMS
WITH THE PRESSURE REGULATOR ON THE FUEL RAIL SHOULD BE APPROVED FOR THE
RFI FILTER INSTALLATION.
NOTE
SOME LIGHT TRUCKS REQUIRE ONE (1) RFI FILTER FOR EACH IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL
PUMP ON MULTI-TANK VEHICLES.
NOTE
THIS TSB DOES NOT INCLUDE TAURUS FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES (FFVS) OR 1999
RANGER 3.0L FFVS.
TEST PROCEDURE
Fuel pump radio noise is relatively constant and changes only slightly with vehicle speed. If the
frequency of the noise varies or the noise comes and goes with the vehicle speed, then it is not the
fuel pump and this fix will not be effective. The following procedure will help determine if the fuel
pump is the cause of the radio noise:
1. Turn on the radio before the key is turned on (assuming the radio will operate without the ignition
key - you may need to put the ignition key in the Accessory position).
2. Turn the ignition key to the Run position (do not start the engine).
3. The fuel pump should run for about 1 second with the key in the Run position with the engine not
running. Listen for noise in the radio. If noise is present while the pump is running and stops when
the pump stops, then the noise is being generated by the pump and this procedure should help.

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

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-AA) over the solder connections.

System - Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 5049
NOTE
HEAT SHRINK TUBING MUST BE USED OVER ALL SOLDERED CONNECTIONS MADE PER
THIS TSB. USE SUFFICIENT TUBING (ABOUT 50 mm (2 ")) OF THE SPECIFIED TYPE TO
ENTIRELY COVER EACH SOLDERED CONNECTION AND SHRINK APPROPRIATELY TO
PREVENT EXPOSURE OF THE CONNECTIONS.
NOTE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH EXTREMELY LONG FUEL PUMP GROUND WIRE CIRCUITS, IT
MAY BE NECESSARY TO SHORTEN THE GROUND WIRE TO A POINT CLOSE TO THE FUEL
TANK. IF THE GROUND IS MOVED, BE SURE IT IS SECURE AND PROTECTED FROM
CORROSION SINCE IT IS THE OPERATING GROUND FOR THE PUMP. CHECK SERVICE
LITERATURE (EVTM, ETC.) FOR GROUND LOCATIONS.
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.

3. On light trucks and compact trucks with a fuel delivery module, cut the fuel pump wires to the
fuel delivery module 50 mm (2") from the flange and discard the wires, Figure 2.
a. Cut the connectors from the RFI filter and solder wires to the fuel delivery module (red to red and
black to black). Use heat shrink tubing over solder connections.
b. Solder wires from the RFI filter to the flange wires (red to red and black to black). Use heat
shrink tubing over soldered connections.

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

VILLAGER
ISSUE: Some vehicles may need re-work of the 14401 wiring harness. While attaching the harness
connector to the ignition switch, a non-mating condition may occur. This is due to a design revision
(larger tower on switch) of the ignition switch, and not having the proper spacer to clear the switch
tower.
ACTION: While re-working any 14401 harness (on affected vehicles built after 5/20/94), determine
if the correct spacer (F4TB-14A468-CA) is attached to the ignition switch connector. The correct
spacer will allow the "old" or "new" 14A464 connector to mate with the ignition switch assemblies
F2DC-11572-AA or F4DC-11572-AA. Refer to the following service procedures.

ISSUE: Some vehicles may need re-work of the 14401 wiring harness. While attaching the harness
connector to the ignition switch, a non-mating condition may occur. This is due to a design revision
(larger tower on switch) of the ignition switch, and not having the proper spacer to clear the switch
tower.
ACTION: While re-working any 14401 harness (on affected vehicles built after 5/20/94), determine
if the correct spacer (F4TB-14A468-CA) is attached to the ignition switch connector. The correct
spacer will allow the "old" or "new" 14A464 connector to mate with the ignition switch assemblies
F2DC-11572-AA or F4DC-11572-AA. Refer to the following service procedures.

Service Procedure
1. Check and adjust brake pad clearances and caliper knuckle clearances as follows:
a. Remove the pins from the caliper.
b. While holding the caliper in place against the bottom pin rails, Figure 1, measure the clearance
between the caliper and the top pin rails. Clearance should be a minimum of 0.3B mm (0.015").
c. If the clearance is insufficient, replace the caliper and measure again. If clearance concern still
exists, replace the knuckle.
NOTE:
CHECK THE CLEARANCE ON THE NEW KNUCKLE BEFORE INSTALLATION.
d. After measuring the caliper/knuckle for proper clearances, remove both calipers and inner pad
assemblies.
e. Remove the anti-rattle clip from the inner pad.

f. Reinstall pad and check the side and end clearances with a feeler gauge (Figure 2).
g. If the pad clearances are within specification, go to Step 1h. If the pad clearances are not to the
required dimensions, file the steel backing plate. File material at ends of shoes, removing equal
amounts from both sides or ends (Figure 3).
CAUTION:
DO NOT GRIND THE STEEL BACKING PLATE. IT IS POSSIBLE TO REMOVE TOO MUCH
MATERIAL WHEN GRINDING.
h. Check the tab clearances and install anti-rattle clip on the lower pad tab (Figure 2).
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE THE LUBRICANT DOES NOT GET ON THE ROTORS, LININGS, OR ON THE
CALIPER PISTON BOOTS.
2. During reassembly:
^ Clean the caliper slide surfaces of corrosion, contamination, and burrs with a wire brush or
portable wire wheel
^ Polish with crocus cloth
^ Lubricate and corrosion protect by applying a light coat of Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and
Dielectric Compound (D7AZ-19A331-A), or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESE-M1C171-A,
to the inner knuckle top and bottom pad groove and caliper rails (Figure 1)
^ Replace the caliper pins with new Caliper Pins (F2TZ-2C150-A)

Customer Interest: > 98-5A-22 > Mar > 98 > Vehicle - Pull Or Drift Diagnostics/Service Procedures > Page 5271
NOTE:
THE EXPLORER IS ALREADY EQUIPPED WITH THE NEW RADIUS ARM BUSHINGS.
3. Inspect the right and left side radius arm bushings for cracking, splitting, or wear. Replace the
right and left side arm bushings with new Radius Arm Bushings (F1TZ-3B203-B), medium brown
color, if necessary. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual, Section 04-01C, for service details.
Pull/Drift Diagnostic Procedure
The Pull/Drift Diagnostic Procedure should be used if the pull or drift is not significantly reduced
with the service procedure or in cases of a steady state drift (no braking).
Test drive the vehicle with the customer to understand his/her pull or drift concern. Many customers
will call a clear vision concern a pull or drift because the steering wheel is not straight.
Pull or drifts come from various sources, each with a particular set of symptoms. Careful road test
evaluation usually will pinpoint which cause (or causes) is present.
Road Test
It is important to test drive the vehicle with the customer to UNDERSTAND HIS OR HER
CONCERN.
Complete the road test before beginning any repairs since you may have multiple causes that need
to be identified.
^ The road test should be done on a flat, straight road and should be done in both directions to
account for wind
^ Tire pressure should be checked and adjusted, if necessary
^ A second person in the vehicle during the road test is helpful. Unless otherwise directed, the
second person must remain in the front RH passenger location
^ On vehicles with automatic locking hubs, it is necessary to drive 6 meters (20 feet) forward and
then backward to unlock the hubs

NOTE:
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE MULTIPLE SYMPTOMS. A ROAD
TEST/CAUSE CHART.
NOTE:
RECONNECT THE FLUID LEVEL SENSOR AFTER ROAD TEST.
Diagnostic Procedure # 1 - Tire Mismatch
Compare the installed tires and wheels to the certification label. If the tires and wheels match,
continue with the Diagnostic Procedure.
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH THE CERTIFICATION LABEL, compare tires
and wheels to Regular Production Option (RPO) list and set tire psi to the correct value
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH THE CERTIFICATION LABEL OR RPO
AVAILABILITY, swap known good tires and wheels (as called for by the certification label or RPO
list) for the purposes of evaluation only
Set tire pressure to value on the certification label.
1. Spin the front tires to be sure that the front hubs are unlocked. If hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Tire Pull - Swap the front tires from side-to-side and road test. If the concern is not corrected,
continue with next Step.
3. Tire Pull - Swap rear tires from side-to-side and road test. If the concern is not corrected,
continue with next Step.
4. Tire Pull - Swap front tires from front to rear. Set the tire pressure to the required pressure for the
new front and rear positions, then road test.
NOTE:
ON REAR LIMITED SLIP AXLE (FRONT HUB UNLOCKED) DRIFT CONCERNS, IT MAY BE
NECESSARY TO MEASURE TIRE CIRCUMFERENCE AND PLACE A MATCHED SET OF TIRES
ON THE REAR AXLE.
Diagnostic Procedure # 2 - Alignment
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Customer Interest: > 98-5A-22 > Mar > 98 > Vehicle - Pull Or Drift Diagnostics/Service Procedures > Page 5273
Wheel Alignment - Measure the front wheel alignment. For out-of-specification vehicles, align to the
"1991-94 Preferred Alignment Specifications" stated in this article.
^ Spin the front tires to be sure that the front hubs are unlocked. If hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels
^ Do not adjust wheel alignment to correct for brake pull if the vehicle does not have pull during
non-brake applications
^ Set the tire pressure to the specification on the certification label
Compare the installed tires and wheels to the certification label. If the tires and wheels match,
continue with the Diagnostic Procedure.
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH THE CERTIFICATION LABEL, compare tires
and wheels to RPO list and set tire pressure to the correct value
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH CERTIFICATION LABEL OR RPO
AVAILABILITY, swap known good tires and wheels (as called for by the certification label or RPO
list) for the purposes of evaluation only
Drive vehicle after alignment is performed.
^ Vehicles which exceed the maximum average caster value shown above may result in shimmy
concerns
^ Vehicles operated below the minimum average caster value shown can result in wander and poor
steering returnability concerns
If the vehicle is not within these minimum and maximum average caster values, or if the vehicle
has experienced any of these listed steering/handling concerns, the average caster should be set
in accordance with ride height/caster chart in the Service Manual.
Diagnostic Procedure # 3 - Tires
1. Spin the front tires to be sure that the front hubs are unlocked. If the hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Measure tire circumference of all four (4) tires; put the two (2) closest circumference tires on the
rear axle. Tire pressure must be equal on all tires.
Diagnostic Procedure # 4 - Steering Gear Valve Off Center
Rotary Valve Centering Check: To confirm that you are looking at a steering gear valve concern, lift
the front wheels off the ground.
^ The vehicle should be raised so that there is no interference with the steering linkage
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Customer Interest: > 98-5A-22 > Mar > 98 > Vehicle - Pull Or Drift Diagnostics/Service Procedures > Page 5274
^ The front wheels should also spin freely
With the wheels in a straight ahead position, start the engine and observe any steering wheel or
linkage movement when the engine is started. If any movement is observed, continue with the
rotary valve centering check.
1. Spin the front tires to make sure the front hubs are unlocked. If the hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Install a 0-13,790 kPa (0-2000 psi) pressure gauge (Rotunda 014-00207, Power Steering
Analyzer) in the pressure line between the power steering pump outlet port 1 and the integral
steering gear inlet port. Make sure the valve on the gauge is fully open.
3. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. Add Premium Power Steering Fluid F7AZ-3F823-AA or
equivalent meeting Ford specification ESW-M2C33-F, if necessary.
4. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from stop-to-stop to bring the steering lubricant to
normal operating temperature. Turn off the engine and recheck the fluid level. Add Premium Power
Steering Fluid F7AZ-3F823-AA or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESW-M2C33-F, if
necessary.
5. With the engine running at approximately 1000 rpm and the steering wheel centered, attach a
b-in torque wrench to the steering wheel nut. Apply sufficient torque in each direction to get a
gauge reading of 1723 kPa (250 psi).
6. The torque wrench readings should be the same in both directions at 1723 kPa (250 psi). If the
difference between the readings exceeds 0.68 N.m (6 lb-in), remove the steering gear and replace
the shaft and control assembly.
7. Remove the pressure gauge installed in Step 2.
Diagnostic Procedure # 5 - RBS Linkage
If the RBS linkage is determined to have wind up or memory steer, replace RBS linkage with
greaseable steel linkage.
NOTE:
ALL SERVICE PART STEERING LINKAGE IS THE GREASEABLE STEEL SOCKET TYPE
Diagnostic Procedure # 6 - Brake Imbalance
1. Spin the front tires to make sure the front hubs are unlocked. If the hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Check for front wheel rotational drag with warm/hot brakes.
a. Make a series of 10 stops from speeds of 48 km/h (30 mph).
b. Make the 10 stops with no more than 30 second intervals between stops. This generally will
induce a maximum pull if there is a drift/pull concern.
c. Raise the front end of the vehicle so that both tires are off the ground.
d. Rotate the front wheels by hand.
NOTE:
FOR ALL 4-WHEEL-DRIVE VEHICLES, MAKE SURE THE HUBS ARE DISENGAGED.
Both tires should rotate about the same amount, with little brake drag occuring. Some brake drag
will naturally be present for each size of vehicle.
3. If the vehicle has excess brake drag, proceed as follows:
a. Open the bleed screw on the affected wheel to check for residual pressure in the brake lines. If
there is a squirt of brake fluid out of the bleeder screw and the drag is reduced or eliminated, the
master cylinder may not be allowing the brake fluid to return to the reservoir.
b. Check the master cylinder push rod adjustment. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual,
Section 06-06, for service details.
c. Check the brake pedal to determine if it is fully returning.
4. Remove both calipers and check piston retraction using a C-clamp and wooden block. The
piston should easily move back into the bore under the force of the clamp. Rebuild or replace as
needed.
5. If Steps 1 through 4 have not determined the concern, swap rotors and linings from side-to-side.
NOTE:
SHOE TAB CLEARANCES SHOULD BE CHECKED AND MODIFIED IF NEEDED. REFER TO
FIGURE 2.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Customer Interest: > 98-5A-22 > Mar > 98 > Vehicle - Pull Or Drift Diagnostics/Service Procedures > Page 5275
6. Test drive the vehicle with 10 or more stops from 64 km/h (40 mph) before evaluating for brake
drift. If there is no change in drift while braking, it may be assumed the concern is not the result of
the front brakes.
7. Check the rear brakes. Remove the rear wheels and brake drums.
a. Check for contaminants (i.e., grease, axle lube, leaking brake fluid, etc.).
b. Check for broken components, frozen parking brake cables or improperly installed parts.
c. Check the cage diameter using the Brake Shoe Adjustment Gauge (D81L-1103-A). If either side
is out-of-specification, check for proper function of the adjusting mechanism and repair or replace
as required.
d. Check the rear wheel cylinders by the following method.
^ Replace one of the brake drums
^ Have another person apply the brakes and watch for movement of one of the brake shoes on the
other wheel
^ Reapply the brakes while holding in place the shoe that moved. The opposite shoe should now
move. If no movement is observed, repair or replace the wheel cylinder
^ Reinstall the drum and repeat the procedure for the other rear brake
8. If the condition still exists, swap rear shoes from side-to-side and drive the vehicle. If the drift is
significantly reduced, replace the rear linings. If the pull/drift is not significantly reduced, go to
Service Procedure # 7.
Diagnostic Procedure # 7 - Miscellaneous
Check for loose, damaged or excessively worn parts. Visually inspect the front suspension for
loose or worn components (i.e., ball joints, radius arm bushings, radius arm attachments at the axle
and frame, alignment adjusters, steering linkage, etc.). Repair or replace as required.

Service Procedure
1. Check and adjust brake pad clearances and caliper knuckle clearances as follows:
a. Remove the pins from the caliper.
b. While holding the caliper in place against the bottom pin rails, Figure 1, measure the clearance
between the caliper and the top pin rails. Clearance should be a minimum of 0.3B mm (0.015").
c. If the clearance is insufficient, replace the caliper and measure again. If clearance concern still
exists, replace the knuckle.
NOTE:
CHECK THE CLEARANCE ON THE NEW KNUCKLE BEFORE INSTALLATION.
d. After measuring the caliper/knuckle for proper clearances, remove both calipers and inner pad
assemblies.
e. Remove the anti-rattle clip from the inner pad.

f. Reinstall pad and check the side and end clearances with a feeler gauge (Figure 2).
g. If the pad clearances are within specification, go to Step 1h. If the pad clearances are not to the
required dimensions, file the steel backing plate. File material at ends of shoes, removing equal
amounts from both sides or ends (Figure 3).
CAUTION:
DO NOT GRIND THE STEEL BACKING PLATE. IT IS POSSIBLE TO REMOVE TOO MUCH
MATERIAL WHEN GRINDING.
h. Check the tab clearances and install anti-rattle clip on the lower pad tab (Figure 2).
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE THE LUBRICANT DOES NOT GET ON THE ROTORS, LININGS, OR ON THE
CALIPER PISTON BOOTS.
2. During reassembly:
^ Clean the caliper slide surfaces of corrosion, contamination, and burrs with a wire brush or
portable wire wheel
^ Polish with crocus cloth
^ Lubricate and corrosion protect by applying a light coat of Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and
Dielectric Compound (D7AZ-19A331-A), or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESE-M1C171-A,
to the inner knuckle top and bottom pad groove and caliper rails (Figure 1)
^ Replace the caliper pins with new Caliper Pins (F2TZ-2C150-A)

NOTE:
THE EXPLORER IS ALREADY EQUIPPED WITH THE NEW RADIUS ARM BUSHINGS.
3. Inspect the right and left side radius arm bushings for cracking, splitting, or wear. Replace the
right and left side arm bushings with new Radius Arm Bushings (F1TZ-3B203-B), medium brown
color, if necessary. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual, Section 04-01C, for service details.
Pull/Drift Diagnostic Procedure
The Pull/Drift Diagnostic Procedure should be used if the pull or drift is not significantly reduced
with the service procedure or in cases of a steady state drift (no braking).
Test drive the vehicle with the customer to understand his/her pull or drift concern. Many customers
will call a clear vision concern a pull or drift because the steering wheel is not straight.
Pull or drifts come from various sources, each with a particular set of symptoms. Careful road test
evaluation usually will pinpoint which cause (or causes) is present.
Road Test
It is important to test drive the vehicle with the customer to UNDERSTAND HIS OR HER
CONCERN.
Complete the road test before beginning any repairs since you may have multiple causes that need
to be identified.
^ The road test should be done on a flat, straight road and should be done in both directions to
account for wind
^ Tire pressure should be checked and adjusted, if necessary
^ A second person in the vehicle during the road test is helpful. Unless otherwise directed, the
second person must remain in the front RH passenger location
^ On vehicles with automatic locking hubs, it is necessary to drive 6 meters (20 feet) forward and
then backward to unlock the hubs

TEST/CAUSE CHART.
NOTE:
RECONNECT THE FLUID LEVEL SENSOR AFTER ROAD TEST.
Diagnostic Procedure # 1 - Tire Mismatch
Compare the installed tires and wheels to the certification label. If the tires and wheels match,
continue with the Diagnostic Procedure.
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH THE CERTIFICATION LABEL, compare tires
and wheels to Regular Production Option (RPO) list and set tire psi to the correct value
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH THE CERTIFICATION LABEL OR RPO
AVAILABILITY, swap known good tires and wheels (as called for by the certification label or RPO
list) for the purposes of evaluation only
Set tire pressure to value on the certification label.
1. Spin the front tires to be sure that the front hubs are unlocked. If hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Tire Pull - Swap the front tires from side-to-side and road test. If the concern is not corrected,
continue with next Step.
3. Tire Pull - Swap rear tires from side-to-side and road test. If the concern is not corrected,
continue with next Step.
4. Tire Pull - Swap front tires from front to rear. Set the tire pressure to the required pressure for the
new front and rear positions, then road test.
NOTE:
ON REAR LIMITED SLIP AXLE (FRONT HUB UNLOCKED) DRIFT CONCERNS, IT MAY BE
NECESSARY TO MEASURE TIRE CIRCUMFERENCE AND PLACE A MATCHED SET OF TIRES
ON THE REAR AXLE.
Diagnostic Procedure # 2 - Alignment
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Technical Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 98-5A-22 > Mar > 98 > Vehicle - Pull Or Drift Diagnostics/Service Procedures >
Page 5286
Wheel Alignment - Measure the front wheel alignment. For out-of-specification vehicles, align to the
"1991-94 Preferred Alignment Specifications" stated in this article.
^ Spin the front tires to be sure that the front hubs are unlocked. If hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels
^ Do not adjust wheel alignment to correct for brake pull if the vehicle does not have pull during
non-brake applications
^ Set the tire pressure to the specification on the certification label
Compare the installed tires and wheels to the certification label. If the tires and wheels match,
continue with the Diagnostic Procedure.
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH THE CERTIFICATION LABEL, compare tires
and wheels to RPO list and set tire pressure to the correct value
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH CERTIFICATION LABEL OR RPO
AVAILABILITY, swap known good tires and wheels (as called for by the certification label or RPO
list) for the purposes of evaluation only
Drive vehicle after alignment is performed.
^ Vehicles which exceed the maximum average caster value shown above may result in shimmy
concerns
^ Vehicles operated below the minimum average caster value shown can result in wander and poor
steering returnability concerns
If the vehicle is not within these minimum and maximum average caster values, or if the vehicle
has experienced any of these listed steering/handling concerns, the average caster should be set
in accordance with ride height/caster chart in the Service Manual.
Diagnostic Procedure # 3 - Tires
1. Spin the front tires to be sure that the front hubs are unlocked. If the hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Measure tire circumference of all four (4) tires; put the two (2) closest circumference tires on the
rear axle. Tire pressure must be equal on all tires.
Diagnostic Procedure # 4 - Steering Gear Valve Off Center
Rotary Valve Centering Check: To confirm that you are looking at a steering gear valve concern, lift
the front wheels off the ground.
^ The vehicle should be raised so that there is no interference with the steering linkage
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Technical Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 98-5A-22 > Mar > 98 > Vehicle - Pull Or Drift Diagnostics/Service Procedures >
Page 5287
^ The front wheels should also spin freely
With the wheels in a straight ahead position, start the engine and observe any steering wheel or
linkage movement when the engine is started. If any movement is observed, continue with the
rotary valve centering check.
1. Spin the front tires to make sure the front hubs are unlocked. If the hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Install a 0-13,790 kPa (0-2000 psi) pressure gauge (Rotunda 014-00207, Power Steering
Analyzer) in the pressure line between the power steering pump outlet port 1 and the integral
steering gear inlet port. Make sure the valve on the gauge is fully open.
3. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. Add Premium Power Steering Fluid F7AZ-3F823-AA or
equivalent meeting Ford specification ESW-M2C33-F, if necessary.
4. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from stop-to-stop to bring the steering lubricant to
normal operating temperature. Turn off the engine and recheck the fluid level. Add Premium Power
Steering Fluid F7AZ-3F823-AA or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESW-M2C33-F, if
necessary.
5. With the engine running at approximately 1000 rpm and the steering wheel centered, attach a
b-in torque wrench to the steering wheel nut. Apply sufficient torque in each direction to get a
gauge reading of 1723 kPa (250 psi).
6. The torque wrench readings should be the same in both directions at 1723 kPa (250 psi). If the
difference between the readings exceeds 0.68 N.m (6 lb-in), remove the steering gear and replace
the shaft and control assembly.
7. Remove the pressure gauge installed in Step 2.
Diagnostic Procedure # 5 - RBS Linkage
If the RBS linkage is determined to have wind up or memory steer, replace RBS linkage with
greaseable steel linkage.
NOTE:
ALL SERVICE PART STEERING LINKAGE IS THE GREASEABLE STEEL SOCKET TYPE
Diagnostic Procedure # 6 - Brake Imbalance
1. Spin the front tires to make sure the front hubs are unlocked. If the hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Check for front wheel rotational drag with warm/hot brakes.
a. Make a series of 10 stops from speeds of 48 km/h (30 mph).
b. Make the 10 stops with no more than 30 second intervals between stops. This generally will
induce a maximum pull if there is a drift/pull concern.
c. Raise the front end of the vehicle so that both tires are off the ground.
d. Rotate the front wheels by hand.
NOTE:
FOR ALL 4-WHEEL-DRIVE VEHICLES, MAKE SURE THE HUBS ARE DISENGAGED.
Both tires should rotate about the same amount, with little brake drag occuring. Some brake drag
will naturally be present for each size of vehicle.
3. If the vehicle has excess brake drag, proceed as follows:
a. Open the bleed screw on the affected wheel to check for residual pressure in the brake lines. If
there is a squirt of brake fluid out of the bleeder screw and the drag is reduced or eliminated, the
master cylinder may not be allowing the brake fluid to return to the reservoir.
b. Check the master cylinder push rod adjustment. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual,
Section 06-06, for service details.
c. Check the brake pedal to determine if it is fully returning.
4. Remove both calipers and check piston retraction using a C-clamp and wooden block. The
piston should easily move back into the bore under the force of the clamp. Rebuild or replace as
needed.
5. If Steps 1 through 4 have not determined the concern, swap rotors and linings from side-to-side.
NOTE:
SHOE TAB CLEARANCES SHOULD BE CHECKED AND MODIFIED IF NEEDED. REFER TO
FIGURE 2.

Page 5288
6. Test drive the vehicle with 10 or more stops from 64 km/h (40 mph) before evaluating for brake
drift. If there is no change in drift while braking, it may be assumed the concern is not the result of
the front brakes.
7. Check the rear brakes. Remove the rear wheels and brake drums.
a. Check for contaminants (i.e., grease, axle lube, leaking brake fluid, etc.).
b. Check for broken components, frozen parking brake cables or improperly installed parts.
c. Check the cage diameter using the Brake Shoe Adjustment Gauge (D81L-1103-A). If either side
is out-of-specification, check for proper function of the adjusting mechanism and repair or replace
as required.
d. Check the rear wheel cylinders by the following method.
^ Replace one of the brake drums
^ Have another person apply the brakes and watch for movement of one of the brake shoes on the
other wheel
^ Reapply the brakes while holding in place the shoe that moved. The opposite shoe should now
move. If no movement is observed, repair or replace the wheel cylinder
^ Reinstall the drum and repeat the procedure for the other rear brake
8. If the condition still exists, swap rear shoes from side-to-side and drive the vehicle. If the drift is
significantly reduced, replace the rear linings. If the pull/drift is not significantly reduced, go to
Service Procedure # 7.
Diagnostic Procedure # 7 - Miscellaneous
Check for loose, damaged or excessively worn parts. Visually inspect the front suspension for
loose or worn components (i.e., ball joints, radius arm bushings, radius arm attachments at the axle
and frame, alignment adjusters, steering linkage, etc.). Repair or replace as required.

REQUIRED CONDITIONS BEFORE CHECKING ALIGNMENT:
^ No driver and/or passenger
^ Full fluids
^ All tires set to specified air pressure
^ All tire sizes comparable to original equipment
^ Vehicle configured to normal operated condition (not to exceed max. front GAWR, max. rear
GAWR and/or max. GVW.
DEFINITIONS
1. Camber Average is defined as LH camber plus RH camber divided by 2 (LH CAMBER + RH
CAMBER) / 2.
Vehicles set to this specification, as measured with the vehicle loaded to normal loading conditions
will result in optimum tire wear.
2. Caster Average is defined as LH caster plus RH Caster divided by 2 (LH CASTER + RH
CASTER) / 2.
These are NOT recommended values for settings. They are only maximum and minimum
limitations. Vehicles outside these limits may exhibit the following:
^ Vehicles which exceed the maximum caster value may result in shimmy concerns.
^ Vehicles operated below the minimum caster value may result in wander and poor steering
returnability concerns.
3. Camber Split is defined as LH camber minus RH camber (LH CAMBER - RH CAMBER)
4. Caster Split is defined as LH caster minus RH Caster (LH CASTER - RH CASTER)
SPECIAL NOTE - CASTER/CAMBER OUT OF RANGE
Vehicles with average caster and/or camber significantly out of specified ranges may have a ride
height out of normal operating range. Normal service procedures may not provide adequate
adjustment to bring the alignment to the preferred specification. If ride height appears to be an
issue, investigate as follows:
^ Front ride height can be below specification if the front loading exceeds the rated capacity listed
on the certification label. Weigh the front end and compare to the certification label to determine if
an overload condition exists. If overloaded, adjust weight to bring vehicle back into compliance with
the published weight limits, or rerate the front suspension within the guidelines of the 1994 Body
Builders Layout Book.
^ Front ride height can be abnormally high on lightly loaded vehicles equipped with heavy duty front
suspension options or maximum FGAWR options. Compare the ride height of the frame-to-ground
guidelines at the wheel centers published in the 1994 Body Builder's Layout Book, and adjust
loading as required or revise front suspension rating within the guidelines in the 1994 Body
Builder's Layout Book.

3. Inspect the right and left side radius arm bushings for cracking, splitting, or wear. Replace the
right and left side arm bushings with new Radius Arm Bushings (F1TZ-3B203-B), medium brown
color, if necessary. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual, Section 04-01C, for service details.
Pull/Drift Diagnostic Procedure
The Pull/Drift Diagnostic Procedure should be used if the pull or drift is not significantly reduced
with the service procedure or in cases of a steady state drift (no braking).
Test drive the vehicle with the customer to understand his/her pull or drift concern. Many customers
will call a clear vision concern a pull or drift because the steering wheel is not straight.
Pull or drifts come from various sources, each with a particular set of symptoms. Careful road test
evaluation usually will pinpoint which cause (or causes) is present.
Road Test
It is important to test drive the vehicle with the customer to UNDERSTAND HIS OR HER
CONCERN.
Complete the road test before beginning any repairs since you may have multiple causes that need
to be identified.
^ The road test should be done on a flat, straight road and should be done in both directions to
account for wind
^ Tire pressure should be checked and adjusted, if necessary
^ A second person in the vehicle during the road test is helpful. Unless otherwise directed, the
second person must remain in the front RH passenger location
^ On vehicles with automatic locking hubs, it is necessary to drive 6 meters (20 feet) forward and
then backward to unlock the hubs

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE MULTIPLE SYMPTOMS. A ROAD
TEST/CAUSE CHART.
NOTE:
RECONNECT THE FLUID LEVEL SENSOR AFTER ROAD TEST.
Diagnostic Procedure # 1 - Tire Mismatch
Compare the installed tires and wheels to the certification label. If the tires and wheels match,
continue with the Diagnostic Procedure.
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH THE CERTIFICATION LABEL, compare tires
and wheels to Regular Production Option (RPO) list and set tire psi to the correct value
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH THE CERTIFICATION LABEL OR RPO
AVAILABILITY, swap known good tires and wheels (as called for by the certification label or RPO
list) for the purposes of evaluation only
Set tire pressure to value on the certification label.
1. Spin the front tires to be sure that the front hubs are unlocked. If hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Tire Pull - Swap the front tires from side-to-side and road test. If the concern is not corrected,
continue with next Step.
3. Tire Pull - Swap rear tires from side-to-side and road test. If the concern is not corrected,
continue with next Step.
4. Tire Pull - Swap front tires from front to rear. Set the tire pressure to the required pressure for the
new front and rear positions, then road test.
NOTE:
ON REAR LIMITED SLIP AXLE (FRONT HUB UNLOCKED) DRIFT CONCERNS, IT MAY BE
NECESSARY TO MEASURE TIRE CIRCUMFERENCE AND PLACE A MATCHED SET OF TIRES
ON THE REAR AXLE.
Diagnostic Procedure # 2 - Alignment
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Other Service Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 5310
Wheel Alignment - Measure the front wheel alignment. For out-of-specification vehicles, align to the
"1991-94 Preferred Alignment Specifications" stated in this article.
^ Spin the front tires to be sure that the front hubs are unlocked. If hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels
^ Do not adjust wheel alignment to correct for brake pull if the vehicle does not have pull during
non-brake applications
^ Set the tire pressure to the specification on the certification label
Compare the installed tires and wheels to the certification label. If the tires and wheels match,
continue with the Diagnostic Procedure.
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH THE CERTIFICATION LABEL, compare tires
and wheels to RPO list and set tire pressure to the correct value
^ IF THE TIRES AND WHEELS DO NOT MATCH CERTIFICATION LABEL OR RPO
AVAILABILITY, swap known good tires and wheels (as called for by the certification label or RPO
list) for the purposes of evaluation only
Drive vehicle after alignment is performed.
^ Vehicles which exceed the maximum average caster value shown above may result in shimmy
concerns
^ Vehicles operated below the minimum average caster value shown can result in wander and poor
steering returnability concerns
If the vehicle is not within these minimum and maximum average caster values, or if the vehicle
has experienced any of these listed steering/handling concerns, the average caster should be set
in accordance with ride height/caster chart in the Service Manual.
Diagnostic Procedure # 3 - Tires
1. Spin the front tires to be sure that the front hubs are unlocked. If the hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Measure tire circumference of all four (4) tires; put the two (2) closest circumference tires on the
rear axle. Tire pressure must be equal on all tires.
Diagnostic Procedure # 4 - Steering Gear Valve Off Center
Rotary Valve Centering Check: To confirm that you are looking at a steering gear valve concern, lift
the front wheels off the ground.
^ The vehicle should be raised so that there is no interference with the steering linkage
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Other Service Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 5311
^ The front wheels should also spin freely
With the wheels in a straight ahead position, start the engine and observe any steering wheel or
linkage movement when the engine is started. If any movement is observed, continue with the
rotary valve centering check.
1. Spin the front tires to make sure the front hubs are unlocked. If the hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Install a 0-13,790 kPa (0-2000 psi) pressure gauge (Rotunda 014-00207, Power Steering
Analyzer) in the pressure line between the power steering pump outlet port 1 and the integral
steering gear inlet port. Make sure the valve on the gauge is fully open.
3. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. Add Premium Power Steering Fluid F7AZ-3F823-AA or
equivalent meeting Ford specification ESW-M2C33-F, if necessary.
4. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from stop-to-stop to bring the steering lubricant to
normal operating temperature. Turn off the engine and recheck the fluid level. Add Premium Power
Steering Fluid F7AZ-3F823-AA or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESW-M2C33-F, if
necessary.
5. With the engine running at approximately 1000 rpm and the steering wheel centered, attach a
b-in torque wrench to the steering wheel nut. Apply sufficient torque in each direction to get a
gauge reading of 1723 kPa (250 psi).
6. The torque wrench readings should be the same in both directions at 1723 kPa (250 psi). If the
difference between the readings exceeds 0.68 N.m (6 lb-in), remove the steering gear and replace
the shaft and control assembly.
7. Remove the pressure gauge installed in Step 2.
Diagnostic Procedure # 5 - RBS Linkage
If the RBS linkage is determined to have wind up or memory steer, replace RBS linkage with
greaseable steel linkage.
NOTE:
ALL SERVICE PART STEERING LINKAGE IS THE GREASEABLE STEEL SOCKET TYPE
Diagnostic Procedure # 6 - Brake Imbalance
1. Spin the front tires to make sure the front hubs are unlocked. If the hubs are unlocked, the axle
shaft will not rotate with the wheels.
2. Check for front wheel rotational drag with warm/hot brakes.
a. Make a series of 10 stops from speeds of 48 km/h (30 mph).
b. Make the 10 stops with no more than 30 second intervals between stops. This generally will
induce a maximum pull if there is a drift/pull concern.
c. Raise the front end of the vehicle so that both tires are off the ground.
d. Rotate the front wheels by hand.
NOTE:
FOR ALL 4-WHEEL-DRIVE VEHICLES, MAKE SURE THE HUBS ARE DISENGAGED.
Both tires should rotate about the same amount, with little brake drag occuring. Some brake drag
will naturally be present for each size of vehicle.
3. If the vehicle has excess brake drag, proceed as follows:
a. Open the bleed screw on the affected wheel to check for residual pressure in the brake lines. If
there is a squirt of brake fluid out of the bleeder screw and the drag is reduced or eliminated, the
master cylinder may not be allowing the brake fluid to return to the reservoir.
b. Check the master cylinder push rod adjustment. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual,
Section 06-06, for service details.
c. Check the brake pedal to determine if it is fully returning.
4. Remove both calipers and check piston retraction using a C-clamp and wooden block. The
piston should easily move back into the bore under the force of the clamp. Rebuild or replace as
needed.
5. If Steps 1 through 4 have not determined the concern, swap rotors and linings from side-to-side.
NOTE:
SHOE TAB CLEARANCES SHOULD BE CHECKED AND MODIFIED IF NEEDED. REFER TO
FIGURE 2.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Other Service Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 5312
6. Test drive the vehicle with 10 or more stops from 64 km/h (40 mph) before evaluating for brake
drift. If there is no change in drift while braking, it may be assumed the concern is not the result of
the front brakes.
7. Check the rear brakes. Remove the rear wheels and brake drums.
a. Check for contaminants (i.e., grease, axle lube, leaking brake fluid, etc.).
b. Check for broken components, frozen parking brake cables or improperly installed parts.
c. Check the cage diameter using the Brake Shoe Adjustment Gauge (D81L-1103-A). If either side
is out-of-specification, check for proper function of the adjusting mechanism and repair or replace
as required.
d. Check the rear wheel cylinders by the following method.
^ Replace one of the brake drums
^ Have another person apply the brakes and watch for movement of one of the brake shoes on the
other wheel
^ Reapply the brakes while holding in place the shoe that moved. The opposite shoe should now
move. If no movement is observed, repair or replace the wheel cylinder
^ Reinstall the drum and repeat the procedure for the other rear brake
8. If the condition still exists, swap rear shoes from side-to-side and drive the vehicle. If the drift is
significantly reduced, replace the rear linings. If the pull/drift is not significantly reduced, go to
Service Procedure # 7.
Diagnostic Procedure # 7 - Miscellaneous
Check for loose, damaged or excessively worn parts. Visually inspect the front suspension for
loose or worn components (i.e., ball joints, radius arm bushings, radius arm attachments at the axle
and frame, alignment adjusters, steering linkage, etc.). Repair or replace as required.

Alignment: Service and Repair Vehicle Lean Correction
Front Lean
NOTE: Codes identifying the front and rear spring options and springs are printed on the Safety
Standard Certification Label. If a spring requires replacement because of damage or sagging,
replace only with the same part as specified on the label. In rare instances, the spring codes will
not reflect the springs as installed due to a DSO option or Assembly Plant substitution. if a DSO
option number is shown on the certification label, the district office can establish whether springs
are affected. If the factory-installed springs do not agree with the code printed on the Safety
Standard Certification Label (right and left spring part number should match), it is advisable to
replace springs in pairs.
1. Measure the left and right front ride heights by measuring the height of the right and left front
fender lip openings. Add 8 mm (5/16 inch) to the
right side ride height measurement.
2. Compute the difference between left and right ride heights as figured in Step 1 above.
a. If the difference exceeds 3-9 mm (1/8-3/8 inch) and is less than 19 mm (3/4 inch) measured at
the wheelhouse opening to ground, add 1 shim
to the side of the vehicle that is low.
b. The shim is to be placed under the lower spring seat; service shim (part number 389117-S2) can
be used without a front stabilizer bar. c. If there is a computed side-to-side difference of 19 mm (3/4
inch) or more in the left/right wheelhouse openings, swap front coil springs from
side-to-side. If the lean condition follows the spring (lean now on other side of the vehicle), replace
both springs with new ones.
d. Changing front ride height by adding the service shim also affects caster angles. Adding the 4.5
mm thick shim (part number 389117-S2 or
equivalent) may reduce caster by up to 0.40 degrees on the side to which the shim is added.
Rear Lean
With the underslung rear suspension, use of shims will not have any effect on a lean condition. Use
the following procedure to verify and correct a rear lean condition.
1. Measure rear ride height by measuring the height of the right and left rear fender lip openings. 2.
Compute the difference. 3. Inspect the vehicle for any excess loads which might weigh the vehicle
down on one side more than the other. Usually a weight of at least 50
pounds is required to cause such a lean.
4. If lean condition is not caused by weight, swap the rear springs from side-to-side. 5. If the lean
changes sides, the lean condition is most likely caused by a bad spring. Replace both springs. 6. If
the lean condition did not change when the springs were changed, factors other than suspension
are the cause.
Side-to-Side Lean
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Service and Repair > Camber >
Page 5329
1. Side-to-side vehicle lean should be verified by measuring the fender lip-to-ground dimensions A
and B.
Normal acceptable limits are: a. Maximum of 16 mm (5/8 inch) variance between left and right front
wheel lips to ground. b. Maximum of 19 mm (3/4 inch) variance between left and right rear wheel
lips to ground.
2. Once a lean condition has been verified, perform the following steps.
a. Place the vehicle on a flat, smooth surface. Vehicles must be sitting on the wheels and tires, not
on a hoist, jack or jack stands. b. Inspect vehicle for any heavy add-ons that may cause excessive
weight on any corner of the vehicle. Vehicle should be empty, fuel tanks full,
no cargo in the pick-up box or rear body section.
c. Check all wheels and tires:
- Wheel size and design, tire size and tread should be indicated on the Vehicle Safety Standard
Certification Label.
- Wheels must be same size and design, right and left side, on each axle.
- Tires must be same brand, tire size, tread design and equal tread wear side-to-side on each axle.
- Check air pressure of all tires; inflate to specifications indicated on the Vehicle Safety Standard
Certification Label.
d. Check front and rear suspension. Verify the same spring is on left/right front and left/right rear.
- Front coil springs have I.D. tags indicating the part number.
- Rear springs have the part number stamped on the bottom left just behind the U-bolt attachment.
- If I.D. tags are missing from the front springs, there is no sure way of identifying which springs are
installed on the vehicle. It is advisable to order springs in pairs only.
e. Bounce the vehicle's front and rear suspension to normalize the vehicle static ride height. f.
Measure the height of the right and left fender lip openings again. If the differences are still greater
than 16 mm (5/8 inch) between left or right front and/or 19 mm (3/4 inch) between left and right
rear, factors other than suspension are the cause.

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

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

Steering Gear: Adjustments Sector and Rack Teeth Lash
NOTE: Preload (thrust bearing adjustment) and worm-to-rack preload cannot be changed in
service. The only adjustment that can be performed is the total overcenter position load to eliminate
excessive lash between sector and rack teeth.
1. Disconnect pitman arm from sector shaft. 2. Disconnect fluid return line at reservoir and cap
reservoir return line pipe. 3. Place end of return line in a clean container and cycle steering wheel
in both directions as required to discharge fluid from gear. 4. Carefully remove airbag assembly
from steering wheel hub, then turn steering wheel 45 degrees from right stop. 5. Using an inch
pound torque wrench on steering wheel nut, determine torque required to rotate shaft slowly
through approximately 1/8 turn from 45
degrees position.
6. Turn steering gear back to center, then determine torque required to rotate shaft back and forth
across center position. 7. Adjust if meshload required to rotate shaft back and forth across center
position is less than 10 in lb greater than the force required to rotate shaft
from 45 degrees to stop. Loosen adjusting nut and turn adjusting screw until reading is 9-13 in lb
greater than torque measured 45 degrees from stop. Hold screw in place, then tighten locknut.
8. Check readings, then install pitman arm and steering wheel cover. 9. Connect fluid return line
and replenish reservoir.

In Vehicle Adjustment
Adjust total over center position load to eliminate excessive lash between the sector and rack teeth
as follows. See meshload specifications for checking and setting valuesSee:
Adjustments/Meshload. This is the only adjustment required.
1. Disconnect the Pitman arm from the sector shaft using Tool T64P-3590-F, Pitman Arm Puller. 2.
Disconnect the fluid return line at the reservoir and cap the reservoir return line pipe. 3. Place the
end of the return line in a clean container and turn the steering wheel from stop to stop several
times to discharge the fluid from the gear.
Discard the fluid.
4. Turn the steering wheel to 45° (degrees) from the right stop. 5. Attach an in. lb. torque wrench to
the steering wheel nut and determine the torque required to rotate the shaft slowly approximately
one-eighth turn
from the 45° (degrees) position toward center.
6. Turn the steering gear back to center and determine the torque required to rotate the shaft back
and forth across the center position (±90°
(degrees)). See the end of this section for checking and re-setting specifications. If re-set is
required, loosen the adjuster locknut and turn the sector shaft adjuster screw until the reading is
the specified value greater than the torque at 45° (degrees) from the stop. Hold the sector shaft screw in place, and tighten the locknut.
7. Re-check the torque readings and replace the Pitman arm and steering wheel hub cover. 8.
Connect the fluid return line to the reservoir and fill the reservoir. Adjust belt tension, if necessary.
CAUTION: Do not pry against the reservoir to obtain proper belt load. Pressure may deform the reservoir and
cause It to leak.
Meshload
During the vehicle breaking-in period, some factory settings may change. These changes in
settings will not necessarily affect operation of the steering gear assembly. If excessive steering
lash is encountered, then a meshload adjustment may be required.
Rotary Valve
1. Install a 0 - 13,789 kPa (0 - 2000 psi) pressure-gauge (Tool D79L-33610-A, Power Steering
Analyzer) in the pressure line between the power
steering pump outlet port and the integral steering gear inlet port. Be sure that the valve on the
gauge is fully open.
2. Check the fluid level in the reservoir and add Premium Power Steering Fluid, E6AZ-19582-AA
(ESW-M2C33-F) or equivalent, if necessary. 3. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from
stop-stop to bring the steering fluid to normal operating temperature. Turn off the engine and
re-check the fluid level. Add Premium Power Steering fluid, E6AZ-19582-AA (ESW-M2C33-F) or
equivalent if necessary.
4. With the engine running at approximately 1000 rpm and the steering wheel centered, attach an
in. lb. torque wrench to the steering wheel nut.
Apply sufficient torque in each direction to get a gauge reading of 1723 kPa (250 psi).
5. The torque wrench readings should be the same in both directions at 1723 kPa (250 psi). If the
difference between the readings exceeds 0.68 N.m
(6 in.lbs.), remove the steering gear and replace the shaft and control assembly (-3D517-).
6. When performing the valve spool centering check outside the vehicle, use the procedures
described above, except take the torque and pressure
readings at the right and left stops instead of either side of center.
NOTE: A hissing noise is a normal characteristic of rotary valve steering gears and in no way affects
steering.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Steering > Steering Gear > Component Information > Service and
Repair > Removal > Page 5366
- Do not replace the shaft and control assembly unless the hiss is EXTREMELY objectionable.
- A replacement valve will also exhibit slight noise, and is not usually a cure for the complaint.
- Any metal-to-metal contacts, such as column grounding, coupling grounding, or sheet metal to
steering components will transmit valve hiss noise into the passenger compartment.
- The only service that can be performed on the 3D517 valve assembly is the replacement of the
four valve sleeve O-rings on the valve sleeve and replacement of the control valve housing.
Disassembly
Remove the Teflon piston seal and O-ring from the piston and ball nut. Discard both seals.
Assembly
1. Dip anew O-ring in Standard Transmission Lubricant (SAE-8OW) D8DZ-1C547-A
(ESP-M2C83-C) or equivalent and install it on the piston and
ball nut.

Start-Up Procedure After Pump or Gear Service
Upon initial engine start-up after a power steering pump or gear overhaul (particularly the pump),
there is very frequently much noise and aeration. This is due to air trapped in the overhauled unit
which mixes with the surging fluid and causes aeration. The problem can be minimized if the
following procedure is used.
1. Disconnect ignition control module (ICM) connector to prevent engine from starting. 2. Fill the
power steering oil reservoir. 3. Crank the engine with the starter motor and continue adding fluid
until the level remains constant. Be careful to avoid prolonged cranking as the
battery may be drained and the starter motor damaged.
4. Rotate the steering wheel approximately 30 degrees each side of center while continuing to
crank the engine. 5. Recheck the fluid level and fill as required. 6. Reconnect the ICM connector. 7.
To clear diagnostic trouble codes, disconnect battery for one minute and then reconnect battery. 8.
Start the engine and allow it to run for several minutes. Rotate the steering wheel from stop to stop.
NOTE: When the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive
symptoms may occur while the powertrain control module (PCM) relearns its adaptive strategy.
The vehicle may need to be driven 16 km (10 mi) or more to relearn the strategy.
9. Shut off the engine and recheck the fluid level. Add as required.

HUBLOCK DIAGNOSTICS
WHEEL END CONTAMINATION:
^ All compact vehicle hublocks have an O-ring seal between the hublock and wheel hub to prevent
contamination. Whenever the hublock is removed, the 0-ring seal should be checked for damage.
^ If contamination is found in the wheel end, the path must be determined and corrected. Path
possibilities are through the hublock seal, the wheel
bearing seals or the axle spindle seals.
WHEEL END NOISE (BUZZING) IN 4X2, AFTER UNLOCKING HUBS, SHORTLY AFTER
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE USAGE:
^ Noise concerns in two-wheel drive shortly after shifting from four-wheel drive and unlocking hubs,
can occur if one of the hublocks fails to disengage. As the vehicle moves forward, the one (1)
hublock that has failed to disengage will rotate its axle shaft through the differential and attempt to
rotate the other axle shaft in the opposite direction. This is called differential motoring torque. As
this torque attempts to turn the other axle shaft through the differential gears, that shaft's hublock
will attempt to engage which will result in a ratcheting or buzzing noise.
^ This type of noise concern is usually found on axles that have incorrect front axle differential
lubricant or very few 4X4 miles on them.
^ Verify that the front axle differential lubricant is F1TZ-19580-A. If incorrect lubricant is detected,
extract the old lubricant using a suction gun.
NOTE:
BREAKING THE CARRIER SEAL IS NOT A RECOMMENDED METHOD OF EXTRACTING THE
LUBRICANT.
1. Refill the front axle with 56 oz (1.66 L) of lubricant F1TZ-19580-A using a suction gun.
2. As the front axle accumulates 100-200 miles (161-322 km) of locked hublock operation, the axle
will break-in, thus reducing the amount of differential motoring torque significantly.
3. If a front axle requires breaking in, refer to the Front Axle Break-In Procedure in this article.
4. If the front axle has been broken-in and the differential lubricant is F1TZ-19580-A, however, a
wheel end noise (buzzing) in 4X2 is still experienced shortly after four-wheel drive usage. It is
advised that the hublock which is not ratcheting be replaced as it is not disengaging correctly.
When this condition occurs on any 4X4 Ranger, Explorer, or Bronco II, built from 10/89 through
model year 1993, it is advised that both hublocks be replaced as the ratcheting hub is likely to
become damaged.
FRONT AXLE BREAK-IN PROCEDURE:
^ To break-in the front axle, engage four-wheel drive and then shift out of it without disengaging the
hublocks.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Hub (Locking) > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Automatic Hublock - Diagnosis/Service Tips > Page 5424
^ Thereafter, continue to drive the vehicle with locked hublocks until 100-200 miles (161-322 km)
are accumulated. This will break-in the axle. Should the vehicle be backed up during this time
period, the hublocks will disengage and will have to be locked again by repeating the engagement
procedure.
WHEEL END NOISE (RATCHETING) IN 4X2 AND HUBS UNLOCKED:
^ This condition could occur during turns or when the suspension is stroked. It is more prevalent in
cold weather, with new front axles. It is usually caused by high motoring torque at the axle shafts or
by incorrect axle lubrication.
^ Verify that axle lubrication is F1TZ-19580-A. If the front axle is not broken-in, 100-200 4X4 miles
(161-322 km), proceed to do so following the outlined front axle break-in procedure in the Hublock
Diagnostics section of this TSB article.
WHEEL END NOISE (BUZZING) WHILE ENGAGING 4X4 (TOUCH DRIVE) WHILE MOVING:
^ Refer to TSB Article No. 91-15-10.
POPPING/BANGING SOUND WHILE IN 4X4:
^ If the system slips under load, find what has broken or is slipping. To locate where slip is taking
place, put marks at various possible slip points (Figure 1). Test drive the vehicle, then check to see
if marks at different points are still in the same relationship to each other. This will help you
determine where the slippage is taking place or where to look for broken parts, if any.
^ On vehicles with automatic hubs, find a place where you can do your test, mark the components,
then drive without backing up. Stop and check the marks to see if they are in the same relationship
to each other. If you back up before checking your marks, the hubs may reindex and not reveal the
problem.
^ Reindex component should be serviced.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Remove old hublock; remove key from bearing retainer nut and then remove nut.
2. If replacing a manual hublock with an automatic hublock, also remove the three-piece wheel
bearing nut assembly.
3. Remove the new wheel bearing retaining nut from the cam assembly and install on the threaded
spindle.
4. Using Hex Locknut Wrench (T70T-4252-B), torque the wheel bearing retainer nut to 47 N-m (35
lb.ft.) while rotating the wheel assembly. Back nut off 1/4 turn and retighten to 1.8 N-m (16 lb.in.) of
torque.
5. Align scallop of the wheel bearing retaining nut with the center of the spindle keyway by
advancing the nut clockwise.
6. Install the retaining key into the spindle keyway. With the garter spring inboard, align the key on
the cam assembly with the keyway on the spindle.
7. Firmly press the cam assembly on the wheel bearing retaining nut.
CAUTION:
DO NOT PACK THE HUBLOCK WITH GREASE. TOO MUCH GREASE WILL CAUSE
IMPROPER HUBLOCK OPERATION AND MAY DAMAGE THE HUBLOCK.
8. For Ranger and Bronco II, model years 1983-90 (through build date 10/4/89), using the DANA
28 Axle, install the thrust washer set onto the axle:
a. First, the plain steel washer.
b. Second, the needle bearing.
c. Last, the spline washer.
9. For model years 1990-94 (begin build date 10/5/89), DANA 35 Axle, install the one-piece spline
washer. Install the "C" clip into the axle groove. It may be necessary to push the axle outboard from
the inboard side of the knuckle.
10. For 1995 Ranger, install the thrust washer onto the axle:
a. First, the plain steel thrust washer.
b. Second, the plastic unsplined thrust washer.

11. Check to ensure 0-ring seal on the flange face of the hublock body is not damaged and is
properly positioned in its groove.
12. Install the hublock body assembly into the vehicle hub and rotor assembly. The hub may have
to be rotated to line up the three (3) prongs of the cam follower (found internally to the hublock)
with the cam assembly.
13. Install retainer flat nuts on wheel studs.
NOTE:
DO NOT FORCE THE HUBLOCK ASSEMBLY. IF THE BODY ASSEMBLY WILL NOT FIT,
RECHECK THE ALIGNMENT OF ALL COMPONENTS. INSTALL SPEEDNUTS ON WHEEL
LUGS TO RETAIN HUBLOCK. THEREAFTER, INSTALL THE WHEEL AND TORQUE THE LUG
NUTS TO 136 N-m (100 LB.FT.) (FIGURE 2).
HISTORY AND TIMING
The Warn Automatic Hublock (Model M350) was used on the DANA 28 Axle (Bronco II and
Ranger) from model years 1983-90 (through build date 10/4/89). The Warn Automatic Hublocks
(Models M350A and M350B) were used on the DANA 35 Axle (Bronco II, Explorer and Ranger) for
model years 1990-93 (begin build date 10/5/89). Starting with model year 1994 the Warn Automatic
Hublock (Model M350C) used on the DANA 35 Axle (Explorer and Ranger) was introduced.
The Model M350 is black and Model M350A, M350B and M350C are argent (white silver) in color.
The Model M350 can only be replaced by Model M350 service parts. The M350C service kits
should be used as replacements for the following:
^ M350A hublocks released 10/89 as model year 1990 running change.
^ M350B hublocks released 4/92 as model year 1992 late running change.
^ M350C hublocks released 8/93 as model year 1994 Job 1 change.
When automatic hublock servicing is required for any Ranger, Explorer, or Bronco II built from
10/89 through model year 1993, it is advised that both hublocks be replaced.
NOTE:
IF AN M350A OR M350B HUBLOCK REQUIRES SERVICING, ALL THE HUBLOCK
COMPONENTS MUST BE REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH SERVICE KIT F3TZ-3B396-B,
WHICH ESSENTIALLY IS THE SERVICE KIT FOR THE M350C AUTOMATIC HUBLOCK. THE
CAM ASSEMBLY OF THE M350A OR M35OB SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH AN M350C
AUTOMATIC HUBLOCK BODY NOR SHOULD AN M350A OR M350B AUTOMATIC HUBLOCK
BODY BE USED WITH AN M350C CAM ASSEMBLY.
For model year 1994 (and beyond) 4X4 Rangers or Explorers, replace automatic hublocks in
accordance with the automatic hublock Service Manual procedure and additional diagnostics
procedure outlined in this TSB.
IDENTIFYING AUTOMATIC HUBLOCK MODELS

Attachment I - Administrative Information
OASIS
OASIS must be used to determine vehicle eligibility.
IMPORTANT:
When an eligible vehicle is at the dealership for service, OASIS must be contacted to determine if
Owner Notification Program 01B77 is open. If 01B77 is listed in OASIS as open, it is important that
the vehicle is inspected for eligible tires. If the eligible vehicle is not equipped with 15-, 16-, or
17-inch Firestone Wilderness AT tires a claim must be submitted using labor operation 01B77A to
close the program. If an affected vehicle does not have 01B77 open, this may indicate that a refund
or tire replacement has already been processed on this vehicle.
Some Ford and Lincoln Mercury vehicles not listed in the AFFECTED TIRES AND VEHICLES list
may have 15-, 16-, or 17-inch Firestone Wilderness AT tires installed. These vehicles are covered
under this program, but will not be active in OASIS. Contact the Special Service Support Center at
1-800-325-5621 to obtain prior approval before performing the repair or issuing a refund. This will
insure that a previous repair/refund has not been performed on the vehicle.
CLAIMS PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION
^ Enter claims using DWE.
^ Refer to ACESII User Manual for claims preparation and submission information.
^ Enter information on a Recall/ONP claim type. DO NOT use a Warranty Claim type.

entry.
RELATED DAMAGE
Vehicle damage caused by a tire related failure is not covered by this program. Refer to the
Warranty and Policy Manual for proper claiming procedure for vehicles covered by the Ford
Bumper-to-Bumper Tire Warranty (model years 2001 and 2002). All other pre-2001 model year
vehicles with alleged tire related vehicle damage should be handled through the Firestone claims
process, or by referring the customers to their insurance company.
Damage related to replacement of tires should be handled as described in the Warranty and Policy
Manual.
OWNER REFUND
With the increased availability of replacement tires, it will no longer be necessary for customers to
pay out-of-pocket expenses for tires. Therefore, refund requests for tires purchased after
November 15, 2001 will no longer be granted. Owners will be notified of the refund expiration date
and will be directed to a Ford or Mercury dealer They are directed to an authorized retailer only if
the Ford or Mercury dealer cannot meet their scheduling needs or tires are not in stock. All Ford
and Mercury dealers (AtW and non-AtW dealers) are required to process refunds for customers
who purchase tires prior to November 15, 2001.
The following rules apply to refunds for tires purchased from August 1, 2001 through November 15,
2001:
Refunds will be processed for vehicles listed under "AFFECTED TIRES AND VEHICLES", and for
other Ford and Lincoln Mercury vehicles that have 15-. 16-, or 17-inch Wilderness AT tires
installed.
^ The customer must provide the original paid receipt (a copy of their paid receipt is acceptable on

OVERVIEW
This program details the replacement of 15-, 16-, and 17-inch Firestone Wilderness AT tires
regardless of production plant. You will need to perform a DOT code inspection prior to replacing
the 15, 16, or 17-inch Wilderness AT tires.
NOTE:
When lowering or raising an under-vehicle spare, DO NOT use power tools. Also make sure that
the spare is secure under the vehicle, and not swinging loose. The spare tire winch will ratchet
when the tire is completely stowed.
NOTE:
Radial ATX "TEMPORARY USE" spare tires are not included under this program, and should not
be replaced as part of this program.
NOTE:
Spare tires should always be replaced with the exact same size tire; otherwise the spare tire may
not store in the proper position on the vehicle.
INSPECTION
1. Inspect the vehicle tires (including the spare tire) for the presence of Firestone Wilderness AT
tires.
2. If Firestone Wilderness AT tires are present replace them with a suitable replacement from the
"Approved Tire List".
Note:
There may be cases where a vehicle is equipped with 15-, 16-, or 17-inch Firestone Wilderness AT
tire sizes that are not included on the Ford-approved replacement list. These tires are not original
equipment (OE) and, therefore, will not have an approved tire listed. In such cases, it is
recommended that the customer install the proper OE tire, or have a tire of suitable quality
installed. Reference the vehicle's "Safety Certification Label" and current "Ford Motor Company
Tire Price Guide" for OE or suitable replacement recommendations.
3. If only one Firestone Wilderness AT road tire is present on the vehicle, you will need to replace
the opposing tire on the same axle. However, if one (1) front and one (1) rear tire are Wilderness
AT you would not automatically replace all four (4) tires instead, you would replace the two (2)
Wilderness AT tires and place them on the same axle.
4. Record the DOT code from each removed tire(s) on the repair order.
5. Tires that are removed from vehicles must immediately be made unusable by either cutting
through the bead and DOT code with bolt cutters, or drilling a one-inch diameter hole (directly on
the DOT code to make the code unreadable) in the sidewall.
6. Adjust all tires to the proper inflation pressure, and release the vehicle. For specifications, refer
to the vehicle Owner's Manual or the vehicle certification label located on the driver's door opening.
NOTE:
Tires that are removed from vehicles under this program, and those in dealer inventory must
immediately be made unusable by either cutting the bead with bolt cutters or drilling a 1" diameter
hole (directly on the DOT code to make the code unreadable) in the sidewall. Defacing the DOT
code will prevent the tire from being used for an additional refund request.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is a 4X4, and is equipped with non-Firestone Wilderness AT tires on one axle, and the
replacement tires for the Firestone equipped axle causes a mismatch with the existing
non-Firestone axle, the customer is responsible for the tire mismatch. If the customer refuses to
purchase matching tires to correct the mismatch - the dealer should annotate the repair order to
reflect the customer's decision.

Attachment I - Administrative Information
OASIS
OASIS must be used to determine vehicle eligibility.
IMPORTANT:
When an eligible vehicle is at the dealership for service, OASIS must be contacted to determine if
Owner Notification Program 01B77 is open. If 01B77 is listed in OASIS as open, it is important that
the vehicle is inspected for eligible tires. If the eligible vehicle is not equipped with 15-, 16-, or
17-inch Firestone Wilderness AT tires a claim must be submitted using labor operation 01B77A to
close the program. If an affected vehicle does not have 01B77 open, this may indicate that a refund
or tire replacement has already been processed on this vehicle.
Some Ford and Lincoln Mercury vehicles not listed in the AFFECTED TIRES AND VEHICLES list
may have 15-, 16-, or 17-inch Firestone Wilderness AT tires installed. These vehicles are covered
under this program, but will not be active in OASIS. Contact the Special Service Support Center at
1-800-325-5621 to obtain prior approval before performing the repair or issuing a refund. This will
insure that a previous repair/refund has not been performed on the vehicle.

Warranty and Policy Manual for proper claiming procedure for vehicles covered by the Ford
Bumper-to-Bumper Tire Warranty (model years 2001 and 2002). All other pre-2001 model year
vehicles with alleged tire related vehicle damage should be handled through the Firestone claims
process, or by referring the customers to their insurance company.
Damage related to replacement of tires should be handled as described in the Warranty and Policy
Manual.
OWNER REFUND
With the increased availability of replacement tires, it will no longer be necessary for customers to
pay out-of-pocket expenses for tires. Therefore, refund requests for tires purchased after
November 15, 2001 will no longer be granted. Owners will be notified of the refund expiration date
and will be directed to a Ford or Mercury dealer They are directed to an authorized retailer only if
the Ford or Mercury dealer cannot meet their scheduling needs or tires are not in stock. All Ford
and Mercury dealers (AtW and non-AtW dealers) are required to process refunds for customers
who purchase tires prior to November 15, 2001.
The following rules apply to refunds for tires purchased from August 1, 2001 through November 15,
2001:
Refunds will be processed for vehicles listed under "AFFECTED TIRES AND VEHICLES", and for
other Ford and Lincoln Mercury vehicles that have 15-. 16-, or 17-inch Wilderness AT tires
installed.
^ The customer must provide the original paid receipt (a copy of their paid receipt is acceptable on
an exception basis in instances where the owner requires the original for another purpose (e.g.
extended tire warranty or purchase rebate). The dealer will attach the receipt to the dealer file copy
of the refund claim (see claim instructions below).
^ Dealers will be reimbursed to immediately disable tires returned for a refund (see claiming
instructions for refunds and Attachment II for labor operations).
^ The tires must be purchased August 1, 2000 through November 15, 2001 to be eligible for a
refund (through October 31, 2001 for 1995 and 1996 F-150 owners).

operation 01B77G). If tires are brought in for refund with the DOT codes missing dealers should not
process the refund.
^ A section of the old tire(s) containing the DOT codes from each of the Firestone Wilderness AT
tires that were replaced (To be cut from the Wilderness AT tires that were replaced by the outside
repair facility) (use labor operation 01B77L). Dealers should deface (cut in pieces or make code
unreadable) the DOT sections of the tire so they cannot be used to obtain another refund. If
sections are brought in for refund with the DOT code defaced dealers should not process the
refund.
NOTE:
The DOT Code Identification Guide has been developed to help dealers determine if the DOT
sections returned to the dealership are from 15-, 16-,

OVERVIEW
This program details the replacement of 15-, 16-, and 17-inch Firestone Wilderness AT tires
regardless of production plant. You will need to perform a DOT code inspection prior to replacing
the 15, 16, or 17-inch Wilderness AT tires.
NOTE:
When lowering or raising an under-vehicle spare, DO NOT use power tools. Also make sure that
the spare is secure under the vehicle, and not swinging loose. The spare tire winch will ratchet
when the tire is completely stowed.
NOTE:
Radial ATX "TEMPORARY USE" spare tires are not included under this program, and should not
be replaced as part of this program.
NOTE:
Spare tires should always be replaced with the exact same size tire; otherwise the spare tire may
not store in the proper position on the vehicle.
INSPECTION
1. Inspect the vehicle tires (including the spare tire) for the presence of Firestone Wilderness AT
tires.
2. If Firestone Wilderness AT tires are present replace them with a suitable replacement from the
"Approved Tire List".
Note:
There may be cases where a vehicle is equipped with 15-, 16-, or 17-inch Firestone Wilderness AT
tire sizes that are not included on the Ford-approved replacement list. These tires are not original
equipment (OE) and, therefore, will not have an approved tire listed. In such cases, it is
recommended that the customer install the proper OE tire, or have a tire of suitable quality
installed. Reference the vehicle's "Safety Certification Label" and current "Ford Motor Company
Tire Price Guide" for OE or suitable replacement recommendations.
3. If only one Firestone Wilderness AT road tire is present on the vehicle, you will need to replace
the opposing tire on the same axle. However, if one (1) front and one (1) rear tire are Wilderness
AT you would not automatically replace all four (4) tires instead, you would replace the two (2)
Wilderness AT tires and place them on the same axle.
4. Record the DOT code from each removed tire(s) on the repair order.
5. Tires that are removed from vehicles must immediately be made unusable by either cutting
through the bead and DOT code with bolt cutters, or drilling a one-inch diameter hole (directly on
the DOT code to make the code unreadable) in the sidewall.
6. Adjust all tires to the proper inflation pressure, and release the vehicle. For specifications, refer
to the vehicle Owner's Manual or the vehicle certification label located on the driver's door opening.
NOTE:
Tires that are removed from vehicles under this program, and those in dealer inventory must
immediately be made unusable by either cutting the bead with bolt cutters or drilling a 1" diameter
hole (directly on the DOT code to make the code unreadable) in the sidewall. Defacing the DOT
code will prevent the tire from being used for an additional refund request.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is a 4X4, and is equipped with non-Firestone Wilderness AT tires on one axle, and the
replacement tires for the Firestone equipped axle causes a mismatch with the existing
non-Firestone axle, the customer is responsible for the tire mismatch. If the customer refuses to
purchase matching tires to correct the mismatch - the dealer should annotate the repair order to
reflect the customer's decision.

FORD AND LINCOLN MERCURY DEALER INVOLVEMENT
As this field action will severely impact the availability of Firestone replacement tires, Ford and
Lincoln Mercury Around the Wheel (AtW)/Ford Tire Program dealers will be afforded the
opportunity to address this recall utilizing Firestone and non-Firestone tires. This is being done to
address immediate needs of our customers.
FORD AND LINCOLN MERCURY DEALERS ENROLLED IN AROUND THE WHEEL (AtW)
Dealerships enrolled in the AtW/Ford Tire Program are authorized Firestone outlets. If a customer
with affected tires contacts an ATW Ford Tire Program dealer, as an authorized Firestone dealer
regarding this safety recall, you will be able to replace that customer's tires with Firestone or
"approved" non-Firestone tires. Tires that are approved for use as replacement tires under this
recall will be posted in a matrix in the Firestone Tire Center in QCDealer.com. This matrix will be
amended to add new tire manufactures and models of tires as they are approved. Claiming for
reimbursement of tires is outlined on Attachment I.
If the customer requests a replacement Firestone tire, secure the tire through your normal
distribution chain and process reimbursement as outlined in Attachment I.
FORD AND LINCOLN MERCURY DEALERS NOT ENROLLED IN AROUND THE WHEEL (AtW)
Dealers not enrolled in the ATW/Ford Tire Program can inspect customer vehicles (see
Attachments I & II for claiming instructions & labor operations). These dealers should make
individual arrangements with local Firestone outlets for tire replacement, or refer customers to their
local Firestone outlet.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
All Firestone P235/75 R15 tires with Radial ATX on the sidewall (excludes Temporary spare tires
identified by "Temporary" on the sidewall) must be replaced under this recall.

HUBLOCK DIAGNOSTICS
WHEEL END CONTAMINATION:
^ All compact vehicle hublocks have an O-ring seal between the hublock and wheel hub to prevent
contamination. Whenever the hublock is removed, the 0-ring seal should be checked for damage.
^ If contamination is found in the wheel end, the path must be determined and corrected. Path
possibilities are through the hublock seal, the wheel
bearing seals or the axle spindle seals.
WHEEL END NOISE (BUZZING) IN 4X2, AFTER UNLOCKING HUBS, SHORTLY AFTER
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE USAGE:
^ Noise concerns in two-wheel drive shortly after shifting from four-wheel drive and unlocking hubs,
can occur if one of the hublocks fails to disengage. As the vehicle moves forward, the one (1)
hublock that has failed to disengage will rotate its axle shaft through the differential and attempt to
rotate the other axle shaft in the opposite direction. This is called differential motoring torque. As
this torque attempts to turn the other axle shaft through the differential gears, that shaft's hublock
will attempt to engage which will result in a ratcheting or buzzing noise.
^ This type of noise concern is usually found on axles that have incorrect front axle differential
lubricant or very few 4X4 miles on them.
^ Verify that the front axle differential lubricant is F1TZ-19580-A. If incorrect lubricant is detected,
extract the old lubricant using a suction gun.
NOTE:
BREAKING THE CARRIER SEAL IS NOT A RECOMMENDED METHOD OF EXTRACTING THE
LUBRICANT.
1. Refill the front axle with 56 oz (1.66 L) of lubricant F1TZ-19580-A using a suction gun.
2. As the front axle accumulates 100-200 miles (161-322 km) of locked hublock operation, the axle
will break-in, thus reducing the amount of differential motoring torque significantly.
3. If a front axle requires breaking in, refer to the Front Axle Break-In Procedure in this article.
4. If the front axle has been broken-in and the differential lubricant is F1TZ-19580-A, however, a
wheel end noise (buzzing) in 4X2 is still experienced shortly after four-wheel drive usage. It is
advised that the hublock which is not ratcheting be replaced as it is not disengaging correctly.
When this condition occurs on any 4X4 Ranger, Explorer, or Bronco II, built from 10/89 through
model year 1993, it is advised that both hublocks be replaced as the ratcheting hub is likely to
become damaged.
FRONT AXLE BREAK-IN PROCEDURE:
^ To break-in the front axle, engage four-wheel drive and then shift out of it without disengaging the
hublocks.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Hub (Locking) > Component Information
> Technical Service Bulletins > Automatic Hublock - Diagnosis/Service Tips > Page 5513
^ Thereafter, continue to drive the vehicle with locked hublocks until 100-200 miles (161-322 km)
are accumulated. This will break-in the axle. Should the vehicle be backed up during this time
period, the hublocks will disengage and will have to be locked again by repeating the engagement
procedure.
WHEEL END NOISE (RATCHETING) IN 4X2 AND HUBS UNLOCKED:
^ This condition could occur during turns or when the suspension is stroked. It is more prevalent in
cold weather, with new front axles. It is usually caused by high motoring torque at the axle shafts or
by incorrect axle lubrication.
^ Verify that axle lubrication is F1TZ-19580-A. If the front axle is not broken-in, 100-200 4X4 miles
(161-322 km), proceed to do so following the outlined front axle break-in procedure in the Hublock
Diagnostics section of this TSB article.
WHEEL END NOISE (BUZZING) WHILE ENGAGING 4X4 (TOUCH DRIVE) WHILE MOVING:
^ Refer to TSB Article No. 91-15-10.
POPPING/BANGING SOUND WHILE IN 4X4:
^ If the system slips under load, find what has broken or is slipping. To locate where slip is taking
place, put marks at various possible slip points (Figure 1). Test drive the vehicle, then check to see
if marks at different points are still in the same relationship to each other. This will help you
determine where the slippage is taking place or where to look for broken parts, if any.
^ On vehicles with automatic hubs, find a place where you can do your test, mark the components,
then drive without backing up. Stop and check the marks to see if they are in the same relationship
to each other. If you back up before checking your marks, the hubs may reindex and not reveal the
problem.
^ Reindex component should be serviced.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Remove old hublock; remove key from bearing retainer nut and then remove nut.
2. If replacing a manual hublock with an automatic hublock, also remove the three-piece wheel
bearing nut assembly.
3. Remove the new wheel bearing retaining nut from the cam assembly and install on the threaded
spindle.
4. Using Hex Locknut Wrench (T70T-4252-B), torque the wheel bearing retainer nut to 47 N-m (35
lb.ft.) while rotating the wheel assembly. Back nut off 1/4 turn and retighten to 1.8 N-m (16 lb.in.) of
torque.
5. Align scallop of the wheel bearing retaining nut with the center of the spindle keyway by
advancing the nut clockwise.
6. Install the retaining key into the spindle keyway. With the garter spring inboard, align the key on
the cam assembly with the keyway on the spindle.
7. Firmly press the cam assembly on the wheel bearing retaining nut.
CAUTION:
DO NOT PACK THE HUBLOCK WITH GREASE. TOO MUCH GREASE WILL CAUSE
IMPROPER HUBLOCK OPERATION AND MAY DAMAGE THE HUBLOCK.
8. For Ranger and Bronco II, model years 1983-90 (through build date 10/4/89), using the DANA
28 Axle, install the thrust washer set onto the axle:
a. First, the plain steel washer.
b. Second, the needle bearing.
c. Last, the spline washer.
9. For model years 1990-94 (begin build date 10/5/89), DANA 35 Axle, install the one-piece spline
washer. Install the "C" clip into the axle groove. It may be necessary to push the axle outboard from
the inboard side of the knuckle.
10. For 1995 Ranger, install the thrust washer onto the axle:
a. First, the plain steel thrust washer.
b. Second, the plastic unsplined thrust washer.

11. Check to ensure 0-ring seal on the flange face of the hublock body is not damaged and is
properly positioned in its groove.
12. Install the hublock body assembly into the vehicle hub and rotor assembly. The hub may have
to be rotated to line up the three (3) prongs of the cam follower (found internally to the hublock)
with the cam assembly.
13. Install retainer flat nuts on wheel studs.
NOTE:
DO NOT FORCE THE HUBLOCK ASSEMBLY. IF THE BODY ASSEMBLY WILL NOT FIT,
RECHECK THE ALIGNMENT OF ALL COMPONENTS. INSTALL SPEEDNUTS ON WHEEL
LUGS TO RETAIN HUBLOCK. THEREAFTER, INSTALL THE WHEEL AND TORQUE THE LUG
NUTS TO 136 N-m (100 LB.FT.) (FIGURE 2).
HISTORY AND TIMING
The Warn Automatic Hublock (Model M350) was used on the DANA 28 Axle (Bronco II and
Ranger) from model years 1983-90 (through build date 10/4/89). The Warn Automatic Hublocks
(Models M350A and M350B) were used on the DANA 35 Axle (Bronco II, Explorer and Ranger) for
model years 1990-93 (begin build date 10/5/89). Starting with model year 1994 the Warn Automatic
Hublock (Model M350C) used on the DANA 35 Axle (Explorer and Ranger) was introduced.
The Model M350 is black and Model M350A, M350B and M350C are argent (white silver) in color.
The Model M350 can only be replaced by Model M350 service parts. The M350C service kits
should be used as replacements for the following:
^ M350A hublocks released 10/89 as model year 1990 running change.
^ M350B hublocks released 4/92 as model year 1992 late running change.
^ M350C hublocks released 8/93 as model year 1994 Job 1 change.
When automatic hublock servicing is required for any Ranger, Explorer, or Bronco II built from
10/89 through model year 1993, it is advised that both hublocks be replaced.
NOTE:
IF AN M350A OR M350B HUBLOCK REQUIRES SERVICING, ALL THE HUBLOCK
COMPONENTS MUST BE REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH SERVICE KIT F3TZ-3B396-B,
WHICH ESSENTIALLY IS THE SERVICE KIT FOR THE M350C AUTOMATIC HUBLOCK. THE
CAM ASSEMBLY OF THE M350A OR M35OB SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH AN M350C
AUTOMATIC HUBLOCK BODY NOR SHOULD AN M350A OR M350B AUTOMATIC HUBLOCK
BODY BE USED WITH AN M350C CAM ASSEMBLY.
For model year 1994 (and beyond) 4X4 Rangers or Explorers, replace automatic hublocks in
accordance with the automatic hublock Service Manual procedure and additional diagnostics
procedure outlined in this TSB.
IDENTIFYING AUTOMATIC HUBLOCK MODELS

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

Technical Service Bulletins > Lug Nuts - Proper Installation/Torqueing Procedure > Page 5520
^ Brake rotor runout
^ Damage to the wheel
^ Damage to the wheel nuts and studs
ACTION: All wheel lug nuts should only be tightened to specification using a torque wrench or by
using the Rotunda ACCUTORO 164-R0314 or equivalent on a 1/2" drive air impact tool. The
"ACCUTORO" lug nut sockets limit the torque of the air impact tool, preventing overtightening or
uneven tightening of the wheel lug nuts. The torque limiting devices (regulators) on air impact tools
will not reduce the output torque enough to prevent overtightening of the wheel lug nuts.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Fastener > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Lug Nuts - Proper Installation/Torqueing Procedure > Page 5521
NOTE:
REFER TO THE APPROPRIATE SERVICE MANUAL OR THE CHART IN FIGURE 1 FOR THE
CORRECT WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE SPECIFICATION. THE CHART IN FIGURE 1 ALSO
PROVIDES THE CORRECT "ACCUTORO" LUG NUT SOCKET TO USE.
The "ACCUTORO" socket is intended for lug nut installation, not removal. When using the
"ACCUTORO" socket, the output torque of the air impact tool must be set to 217-339 N.m (160-250
lb-ft), usually this will be the lowest setting on the air impact tool.
The "ACCUTORO" lug nut sockets are available through Rotunda Equipment. The four-piece set
(164-R0314) fits most Ford Motor Company cars and light trucks. The tool set consists of four (4)
lug nut sockets and a storage case. The set can be ordered by calling Rotunda Equipment at
1-800-ROT-UNDA (768-8632).
CAUTION:
AIR IMPACT TOOLS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO TIGHTEN WHEEL LUG NUTS UNLESS THE
"ACCUTORO" LUG NUT SOCKET OF THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION IS USED.
NOTE:
DO NOT USE AIR IMPACT TOOLS ON LOCKING WHEEL LUG NUTS. THEY ARE TO BE
HAND-TORQUED ONLY.

This TSB is being republished in its entirety to include Labor Operations for system flushing.
ISSUE: Ford Motor Company has approved a procedure to provide technicians with a non-CFC
method of flushing contaminated A/C system heat exchangers (evaporators and condensers). This
procedure allows the A/C components to be cleaned and flushed while installed in the vehicle. The
types of contamination flushed include particle matter which results from compressor or desiccant
failure and the gummy residue which may form when refrigerant oil is overheated. Some Ford
authorized HFC-134a retrofit kit procedures will also require A/C system flushing to remove mineral
oil for capacity reasons.
ACTION: Refer to the following text for proper flushing procedures.
The flushing procedure is a two-step process which involves the use of an A/C Flusher. The
Flusher is used to do the following:
1. Circulate the flushing solvent through the A/C system heat exchangers in the reverse direction of
normal refrigerant flow (back flushing). Particle matter is filtered from the returning solvent and the
solvent is returned to the reservoir for continued circulation.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Condenser HVAC > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Air Conditioning - Approved Flushing Procedures > Page 5589
2. Remove the flushing solvent from the A/C system. In this step, pressurized air (90-125
psi/620-862 kPa) is used to push and evaporate any remaining flush solvent from the heat
exchangers.
Only Rotunda Item No. 014-00990 A/C Flushing kit which includes 014-00991 A/C Flusher,
014-00992 A/C Flusher Filling Kit. and F4AZ-19579-A A/C Flushing Solvent (case of 4 gallons/15
L), is approved for use on Ford vehicles. No other flushing device or solvent is approved by Ford
Motor Company for flushing A/C systems. The use of other equipment or solvent may cause
damage to the A/C system and the flushing unit.
Minimum time for flushing is 15 minutes and minimum time for air flushing is 30 minutes. Failure to
continue air purge for the entire 30 minutes as specified may result in residual amounts of flush
solvent contaminating the A/C system. Residual flush solvent in a functioning A/C system may lead
to A/C system failure.
Do not flush through orifice tubes. TXVs, accumulator/driers, receiver/driers, mufflers or hoses.
Internal plumbing and material make-up of these components make it impossible to properly
remove the debris and/or residual flushing solvent.
One (1) gallon (3.8 L) of Ford A/C System Flushing Solvent is used in this device and is intended
for one (1) vehicle only. It may be used to flush both heat exchangers on an individual vehicle, but
under no circumstances should it be used on more than one (1) vehicle. The filter used when
flushing is also intended for use on one (1) vehicle only.
NOTE:
DURING THE FLUSHING PROCESS, THIS MATERIAL MAY COLLECT RESIDUE FROM THE
A/C SYSTEM, WHICH MAY INCLUDE CFC-12. DISPOSE OF THE SOLVENT AND FILTER IN
ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
Use of A/C system filter kits as prescribed in TSB 94-15-5 is optional if the A/C system is flushed.
Filter kit use is recommended after flushing if the system is highly contaminated. If the hoses are
clogged with debris, hose replacement is required.
Always remember to match oil properly, replace the accumulator/drier and orifice tube, or TXV and
receiver/drier when servicing an A/C system with a compressor or desiccant failure.
The following vehicles require A/C system flushing with retrofit kits to remove mineral oil for
capacity reasons.

Maintain low speed drill rotation while removing the cleaning assembly to prevent axial scratches,
which may cause future leaks.
NOTE:
IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE A LINT FREE CLOTH TO PREVENT MATERIAL FIBERS FROM
REMAINING ON THE 0-RING SEALING SURFACE AND CAUSING FUTURE LEAKS.
i. Remove all cleaning residue from the coupling using a lint free cloth.
j. Inspect O-ring sealing surface for grooves. If grooves or scratches cannot be removed, replace
the component.
5. Inspect the male SLC O-ring grooves for scratches, corrosion, or debris from O-ring
deterioration. Remove any surface residue from the O-ring grooves by cleaning using the following
procedure (Steps 5a-5b):

This TSB is being republished in its entirety to include Labor Operations for system flushing.
ISSUE: Ford Motor Company has approved a procedure to provide technicians with a non-CFC
method of flushing contaminated A/C system heat exchangers (evaporators and condensers). This
procedure allows the A/C components to be cleaned and flushed while installed in the vehicle. The
types of contamination flushed include particle matter which results from compressor or desiccant
failure and the gummy residue which may form when refrigerant oil is overheated. Some Ford
authorized HFC-134a retrofit kit procedures will also require A/C system flushing to remove mineral
oil for capacity reasons.
ACTION: Refer to the following text for proper flushing procedures.
The flushing procedure is a two-step process which involves the use of an A/C Flusher. The
Flusher is used to do the following:
1. Circulate the flushing solvent through the A/C system heat exchangers in the reverse direction of
normal refrigerant flow (back flushing). Particle matter is filtered from the returning solvent and the
solvent is returned to the reservoir for continued circulation.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Evaporator Core > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Evaporator Core: > 95184 > Sep > 95 > Air Conditioning - Approved Flushing
Procedures > Page 5623
2. Remove the flushing solvent from the A/C system. In this step, pressurized air (90-125
psi/620-862 kPa) is used to push and evaporate any remaining flush solvent from the heat
exchangers.
Only Rotunda Item No. 014-00990 A/C Flushing kit which includes 014-00991 A/C Flusher,
014-00992 A/C Flusher Filling Kit. and F4AZ-19579-A A/C Flushing Solvent (case of 4 gallons/15
L), is approved for use on Ford vehicles. No other flushing device or solvent is approved by Ford
Motor Company for flushing A/C systems. The use of other equipment or solvent may cause
damage to the A/C system and the flushing unit.
Minimum time for flushing is 15 minutes and minimum time for air flushing is 30 minutes. Failure to
continue air purge for the entire 30 minutes as specified may result in residual amounts of flush
solvent contaminating the A/C system. Residual flush solvent in a functioning A/C system may lead
to A/C system failure.
Do not flush through orifice tubes. TXVs, accumulator/driers, receiver/driers, mufflers or hoses.
Internal plumbing and material make-up of these components make it impossible to properly
remove the debris and/or residual flushing solvent.
One (1) gallon (3.8 L) of Ford A/C System Flushing Solvent is used in this device and is intended
for one (1) vehicle only. It may be used to flush both heat exchangers on an individual vehicle, but
under no circumstances should it be used on more than one (1) vehicle. The filter used when
flushing is also intended for use on one (1) vehicle only.
NOTE:
DURING THE FLUSHING PROCESS, THIS MATERIAL MAY COLLECT RESIDUE FROM THE
A/C SYSTEM, WHICH MAY INCLUDE CFC-12. DISPOSE OF THE SOLVENT AND FILTER IN
ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
Use of A/C system filter kits as prescribed in TSB 94-15-5 is optional if the A/C system is flushed.
Filter kit use is recommended after flushing if the system is highly contaminated. If the hoses are
clogged with debris, hose replacement is required.
Always remember to match oil properly, replace the accumulator/drier and orifice tube, or TXV and
receiver/drier when servicing an A/C system with a compressor or desiccant failure.
The following vehicles require A/C system flushing with retrofit kits to remove mineral oil for
capacity reasons.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct the referenced Step for the cleaning
procedure.
ISSUE: An "on-vehicle" air conditioning evaporator core leak test is required before replacing any
A/C evaporator core within the warranty period.
ACTION: Perform the "on-vehicle" air conditioning evaporator core leak test before replacing the
evaporator core. Refer to the following Evaporator Core Leak
Test Procedure.
EVAPORATOR CORE LEAK TEST PROCEDURE
NOTE:
ALL FITTINGS REQUIRED TO PERFORM THE LEAK TEST ARE INCLUDED IN TEST ADAPTER
KIT D93L-1 9703-B OR EQUIVALENT.
CAUTION:
DISCONNECT THE LIQUID LINE AND SUCTION ACCUMULATOR FROM THE EVAPORATOR
CORE TUBES. DO NOT LEAK TEST AN EVAPORATOR CORE WITH THE SUCTION
ACCUMULATOR ATTACHED TO THE CORE TUBES. REFRIGERANT OUTGASSING FROM OIL
AND DESICCANT IN THE ACCUMULATOR WILL INDICATE A FALSE LEAK CONDITION.
1. Verify that the manifold gauge set is capable of holding vacuum.
a. Connect the RED and BLUE hoses together using a 1/4" (6.35 mm) flare coupling.
b. Connect the gauge set YELLOW hose to a known good vacuum pump.
c. Turn the vacuum pump ON and open both gauge set valves.
d. Operate the vacuum pump for 1 minute and close both gauge set valves. The low side gauge
should indicate approximately 30" of vacuum.
e. Allow the gauge set, with vacuum applied, to sit for at least 30 minutes.
f. If the gauge reading drops during that time, the gauge set hose connections, gauges, or valves
are leaking and should be repaired before proceeding with the leak test.

Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Evaporator Core: > 95131 > Jul > 95 > A/C Evaporator Core - On Vehicle Leak
Test Requirement > Page 5632
2. Clean the evaporator core tube fittings.
a. For threaded connections, wipe any dirt or debris from the sealing surfaces with a clean lint-free
rag.
b. If the evaporator core tube fittings are the female Spring Lock design, check the inside of each
fitting for scratches, corrosion, or debris from deteriorated 0-rings.
c. If scratches, corrosion, or debris are found, the leak test results may not be accurate unless the
fitting is properly cleaned. Refer to Step 3 for cleaning procedure.
3. Clean the Spring Lock fittings as follows:
a. Remove any surface residue from the inside of the female Spring Lock Coupling by polishing
with 400 grit emery cloth or equivalent.
b. Polish the female surface by using a twisting motion so that any scratches made will not cross
the 0-ring sealing surface. See Figure 1.
c. Perform additional polishing of surface using 600 grit emery cloth or equivalent.
d. Remove all residue from the polishing operations by wiping the fittings with a lint-free rag.
e. Connect the appropriate test fittings from Test Adapter Kit D93L-19703-B, or equivalent, to the
evaporator tube connections.
5. Connect the RED and BLUE hoses from the manifold gauge set to the test fittings on the
evaporator core. Connect the YELLOW hose to a known quality vacuum pump.
NOTE:
THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF VALVES ON SOME GAUGE SET HOSES DO NOT OPEN WHEN
CONNECTED TO THE TEST FITTINGS. IF AVAILABLE, USE HOSES WITHOUT SHUTOFF
VALVES. IF HOSES WITH SHUTOFF VALVES ARE USED, CHECK TO BE SURE THE VALVE
OPENS WHEN ATTACHED TO THE TEST FITTINGS OR INSTALL AN ADAPTER WHICH WILL
ACTIVATE THE VALVE. THE TEST IS NOT VALID IF THE SHUTOFF VALVE DOES NOT OPEN,
ONLY THE HOSE WILL BE TESTED.
6. Open both gauge set valves and start the vacuum pump.
a. Turn the A/C system blower on low to allow the vacuum pump to operate for a minimum of 45
minutes after the gauge set low pressure gauge indicates 30" Hg. The 45 minute evacuation is
necessary to remove any refrigerant from oil left in the evaporator core.
b. If the refrigerant is not completely removed from the oil, outgassing will occur and degrade the
vacuum and appear as a refrigerant leak.
7. If the low pressure gauge reading will not drop to 30" Hg when the valves on the gauge and
manifold set are open and the vacuum pump is operating, close the gauge set valves and observe
the low pressure gauge. If the pressure rises rapidly to zero, a large leak is indicated. Recheck the
test fitting connections and gauge set connections before replacing the evaporator core.
8. The following information is helpful in determining if a leak is present.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Evaporator Core > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Evaporator Core: > 95131 > Jul > 95 > A/C Evaporator Core - On Vehicle Leak
Test Requirement > Page 5633
^ If the low pressure gauge reading rises 10 or more inches of vacuum from the 30" position in 10
minutes, a leak is indicated.
^ If a very small leak is suspected, wait 30 minutes and observe the vacuum gauge.
^ If a small amount of vacuum is lost, operate the vacuum pump with the gauge valves open for an
additional 30 minutes with the system blower on low to remove any remaining refrigerant from the
oil in the evaporator core. Then, recheck for loss of vacuum as outlined.
^ If a very small leak is suspected, allow the system to sit overnight with vacuum applied and check
for vacuum loss.
NOTE:
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT A LEAKING FITTING, GAUGE SET OR HOSE CONNECTION WILL
APPEAR AS A LEAKING EVAPORATOR CORE.
9. If the evaporator core does leak, as verified by the above procedure, install a new evaporator
core. Follow the appropriate Service Manual procedure.

2. Remove the flushing solvent from the A/C system. In this step, pressurized air (90-125
psi/620-862 kPa) is used to push and evaporate any remaining flush solvent from the heat
exchangers.
Only Rotunda Item No. 014-00990 A/C Flushing kit which includes 014-00991 A/C Flusher,
014-00992 A/C Flusher Filling Kit. and F4AZ-19579-A A/C Flushing Solvent (case of 4 gallons/15
L), is approved for use on Ford vehicles. No other flushing device or solvent is approved by Ford
Motor Company for flushing A/C systems. The use of other equipment or solvent may cause
damage to the A/C system and the flushing unit.
Minimum time for flushing is 15 minutes and minimum time for air flushing is 30 minutes. Failure to
continue air purge for the entire 30 minutes as specified may result in residual amounts of flush
solvent contaminating the A/C system. Residual flush solvent in a functioning A/C system may lead
to A/C system failure.
Do not flush through orifice tubes. TXVs, accumulator/driers, receiver/driers, mufflers or hoses.
Internal plumbing and material make-up of these components make it impossible to properly
remove the debris and/or residual flushing solvent.
One (1) gallon (3.8 L) of Ford A/C System Flushing Solvent is used in this device and is intended
for one (1) vehicle only. It may be used to flush both heat exchangers on an individual vehicle, but
under no circumstances should it be used on more than one (1) vehicle. The filter used when
flushing is also intended for use on one (1) vehicle only.
NOTE:
DURING THE FLUSHING PROCESS, THIS MATERIAL MAY COLLECT RESIDUE FROM THE
A/C SYSTEM, WHICH MAY INCLUDE CFC-12. DISPOSE OF THE SOLVENT AND FILTER IN
ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
Use of A/C system filter kits as prescribed in TSB 94-15-5 is optional if the A/C system is flushed.
Filter kit use is recommended after flushing if the system is highly contaminated. If the hoses are
clogged with debris, hose replacement is required.
Always remember to match oil properly, replace the accumulator/drier and orifice tube, or TXV and
receiver/drier when servicing an A/C system with a compressor or desiccant failure.
The following vehicles require A/C system flushing with retrofit kits to remove mineral oil for
capacity reasons.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct the referenced Step for the cleaning
procedure.
ISSUE: An "on-vehicle" air conditioning evaporator core leak test is required before replacing any
A/C evaporator core within the warranty period.
ACTION: Perform the "on-vehicle" air conditioning evaporator core leak test before replacing the
evaporator core. Refer to the following Evaporator Core Leak
Test Procedure.
EVAPORATOR CORE LEAK TEST PROCEDURE
NOTE:
ALL FITTINGS REQUIRED TO PERFORM THE LEAK TEST ARE INCLUDED IN TEST ADAPTER
KIT D93L-1 9703-B OR EQUIVALENT.
CAUTION:
DISCONNECT THE LIQUID LINE AND SUCTION ACCUMULATOR FROM THE EVAPORATOR
CORE TUBES. DO NOT LEAK TEST AN EVAPORATOR CORE WITH THE SUCTION
ACCUMULATOR ATTACHED TO THE CORE TUBES. REFRIGERANT OUTGASSING FROM OIL
AND DESICCANT IN THE ACCUMULATOR WILL INDICATE A FALSE LEAK CONDITION.
1. Verify that the manifold gauge set is capable of holding vacuum.
a. Connect the RED and BLUE hoses together using a 1/4" (6.35 mm) flare coupling.
b. Connect the gauge set YELLOW hose to a known good vacuum pump.
c. Turn the vacuum pump ON and open both gauge set valves.
d. Operate the vacuum pump for 1 minute and close both gauge set valves. The low side gauge
should indicate approximately 30" of vacuum.
e. Allow the gauge set, with vacuum applied, to sit for at least 30 minutes.
f. If the gauge reading drops during that time, the gauge set hose connections, gauges, or valves
are leaking and should be repaired before proceeding with the leak test.

2. Clean the evaporator core tube fittings.
a. For threaded connections, wipe any dirt or debris from the sealing surfaces with a clean lint-free
rag.
b. If the evaporator core tube fittings are the female Spring Lock design, check the inside of each
fitting for scratches, corrosion, or debris from deteriorated 0-rings.
c. If scratches, corrosion, or debris are found, the leak test results may not be accurate unless the
fitting is properly cleaned. Refer to Step 3 for cleaning procedure.
3. Clean the Spring Lock fittings as follows:
a. Remove any surface residue from the inside of the female Spring Lock Coupling by polishing
with 400 grit emery cloth or equivalent.
b. Polish the female surface by using a twisting motion so that any scratches made will not cross
the 0-ring sealing surface. See Figure 1.
c. Perform additional polishing of surface using 600 grit emery cloth or equivalent.
d. Remove all residue from the polishing operations by wiping the fittings with a lint-free rag.
e. Connect the appropriate test fittings from Test Adapter Kit D93L-19703-B, or equivalent, to the
evaporator tube connections.
5. Connect the RED and BLUE hoses from the manifold gauge set to the test fittings on the
evaporator core. Connect the YELLOW hose to a known quality vacuum pump.
NOTE:
THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF VALVES ON SOME GAUGE SET HOSES DO NOT OPEN WHEN
CONNECTED TO THE TEST FITTINGS. IF AVAILABLE, USE HOSES WITHOUT SHUTOFF
VALVES. IF HOSES WITH SHUTOFF VALVES ARE USED, CHECK TO BE SURE THE VALVE
OPENS WHEN ATTACHED TO THE TEST FITTINGS OR INSTALL AN ADAPTER WHICH WILL
ACTIVATE THE VALVE. THE TEST IS NOT VALID IF THE SHUTOFF VALVE DOES NOT OPEN,
ONLY THE HOSE WILL BE TESTED.
6. Open both gauge set valves and start the vacuum pump.
a. Turn the A/C system blower on low to allow the vacuum pump to operate for a minimum of 45
minutes after the gauge set low pressure gauge indicates 30" Hg. The 45 minute evacuation is
necessary to remove any refrigerant from oil left in the evaporator core.
b. If the refrigerant is not completely removed from the oil, outgassing will occur and degrade the
vacuum and appear as a refrigerant leak.
7. If the low pressure gauge reading will not drop to 30" Hg when the valves on the gauge and
manifold set are open and the vacuum pump is operating, close the gauge set valves and observe
the low pressure gauge. If the pressure rises rapidly to zero, a large leak is indicated. Recheck the
test fitting connections and gauge set connections before replacing the evaporator core.
8. The following information is helpful in determining if a leak is present.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))

Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Evaporator Core: > 95131 > Jul > 95 > A/C Evaporator Core - On Vehicle Leak
Test Requirement > Page 5645
^ If the low pressure gauge reading rises 10 or more inches of vacuum from the 30" position in 10
minutes, a leak is indicated.
^ If a very small leak is suspected, wait 30 minutes and observe the vacuum gauge.
^ If a small amount of vacuum is lost, operate the vacuum pump with the gauge valves open for an
additional 30 minutes with the system blower on low to remove any remaining refrigerant from the
oil in the evaporator core. Then, recheck for loss of vacuum as outlined.
^ If a very small leak is suspected, allow the system to sit overnight with vacuum applied and check
for vacuum loss.
NOTE:
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT A LEAKING FITTING, GAUGE SET OR HOSE CONNECTION WILL
APPEAR AS A LEAKING EVAPORATOR CORE.
9. If the evaporator core does leak, as verified by the above procedure, install a new evaporator
core. Follow the appropriate Service Manual procedure.

1. Verify that the "whistle" is caused by a seam leak in the plenum or a body seal issue.
a. With the engine running, heater blower set at high speed, and the temperature lever in full heat
position, confirm that the "whistle" exists.
b. Roll down one of the windows at least 1" (25.4 mm).
^ If the "whistle" goes away, then the concern is a body seal leak and should be located using body
leak detection methods.
^ If the "whistle" remains, a plenum seal leak exists. Refer to Step 2.
2. Remove the plenum. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual, Sections 12-02B and 12-03B, for
the removal procedures.
3. Locate any seal leaks in the removed plenum and seal with rope sealer (D6AZ-19560-A) or
equivalent.
4. Reinstall the plenum assembly and verify that the "whistle" does not exist. Refer to the
appropriate Service Manual, Sections 12-02B and 12-03B, for the installation procedures.

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.

Bulletins > A/C - Identification of Non Approved Refrigerants > Page 5707
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 Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Refrigerant > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > A/C - Identification of Non Approved Refrigerants > Page 5708
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.

Seat Belt: Description and Operation
Continuous-Loop System
The front outboard safety belt is a continuous-loop system. The outboard combination lap and
shoulder belts use a common sliding tongue. To secure the belts, the tongue is inserted into the
inboard buckle.
The webbing for the lap belt is anchored inboard to the floor pan.
The shoulder safety belt retractor is designed to let the webbing freely move In or out at all times,
except during hard braking, hard cornering or impacts of approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or more,
when it is automatically locked by a mechanically actuated inertia sensor.
Fastening Safety Belts
After entering the vehicles, adjust the front seat to obtain the best position for driving comfort,
access to controls and visibility. Then, use the following procedure for fastening safety belts.
WARNING: USE THE SHOULDER BELT ON THE OUTSIDE SHOULDER ONLY. NEVER WEAR
THE SHOULDER BELT UNDER THE ARM. NEVER SWING IT AROUND YOUR NECK OVER
THE INSIDE SHOULDER. NEVER USE A SINGLE BELT FOR MORE THAN ONE PERSON
MAKE SURE THE LAP PORTION OF THE BELT IS FITTED SNUGLY AND AS LOW AS
POSSIBLE AROUND THE HIPS, NOT ON THE WAIST. FAILURE To FOLLOW THESE
PRECAUTIONS COULD INCREASE THE CHANCE AND/OR SEVERITY OF INJURY IN A
COLLISION.
1. Before fastening combination lap/shoulder safety belt, It may be necessary to lengthen it.
NOTE: If you grasp the tongue by the tongue cover while attempting to lengthen the belt, you may
find it somewhat difficult to slide the tongue along the webbing because the tongue's mechanism is
grabbing the webbing.
2. To lengthen tie belt, pull some webbing out of the refractor. While holding the webbing below the
tongue, grasp the tip (rectal portion) of the
tongue (not the tongue cover). Then, while keeping the rectal portion 01, the tongue parallel to the
webbing. slide the tongue upward.
3. To fasten the belt, pull the lap/shoulder belt from the retractor so that the shoulder portion of the
belt crosses your shoulder and chest. Be sure the
belt is not twisted. If it is, remove the twist. Insert the bell tongue into the proper buckle for that
seating position until you hear a "snap" and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened
to the buckle.
4. To tighten the lap portion of the belt pull upon the shoulder belt until it fits snugly. The belt should
rest as low on the hips as possible. 5. Pull the lap/shoulder belt from the rear safety belt retractor
and tongue so the shoulder portion of the safety belt crosses the shoulder and chest.
Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle until a snap is heard and the rear safety belt is latched.
Pull up on the shoulder portion of the rear safety belt to tighten the lap portion to a snug fit. Make
sure the rear safety bell is as low on the hips as possible.
6. The rear safety belt system allows freedom of movement, locking only on hard braking or
impacts of approximately 8 km/h (5 mph) or more. The
system cannot be made to lock by jerking on the rear safety belt.

Seat Belt: Testing and Inspection
1. Driver will buckle up and proceed to a sate test area. If RH front or rear passenger safety belt
must be tested, a passenger should be buckled into
RH front or rear seat. (The RH front belt may be tested using a driver only, providing driver has the
ability to grasp RH front shoulder belt and extend it approximately 66 cm [26 inches] with no
compromise to safe driving). This method applies to 8 km/h (5 mph) test only.
2. After reaching a safe area to perform sudden stops, driver will attain a speed of approximately 8
km/h (5 mph). The driver should inform
passenger (if applicable) that he is preparing to make a severe brake application. At this time, both
driver and passenger should grasp their respective shoulder harnesses and prepare to lean slightly
forward at the moment brake application is made.
3. The driver will make a maximum brake application without tire skid. (The maximum brake
application should be on dry concrete or equivalent
hard road surface; never on a wet or gravel road.)
WARNING: THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER MUST BE PREPARED TO BRACE THEMSELVES
IN THE EVENT THE RETRACTOR DOES NOT LOCK.
4. The driver and passenger should lean forward slightly into shoulder harness. At this instant, belts
should lock up without webbing payout. 5. If there is a lockup of both shoulder straps, safety belt
assemblies are functioning properly.
NOTE: If the retractor of a new safety belt assembly has been bolted into a damaged or distorted
mounting area, the new retractor could be warped and may not function. If this is the case, reshape
the sheet metal and install another new complete safety belt assembly.
6. Should either or both retractors fail to lock up at the 8 km/h (5 mph) speed, repeat the test at a
constant 24 km/h (15 mph). (This test must be
performed with RH front or rear passenger if RH front or rear belts are to be tested.)
7. If either or both shoulder safety belts do not lock up at 24 km/h (15 mph) test, return vehicle for
service of malfunctioning safety belts. Remove
retractor and rework sheet metal in retractor's mounting surface. Install retractor assembly and
retest safety belt assembly(s) as previously stated.

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.

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

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins: > 01-7-3 > Apr > 01 > Fuel Pump Whine Heard Through Radio Speakers > Page 5988
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.

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Towing Information > System
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Vehicle - Towing Behind RVs Guidelines > Page 6022
CAUTION:
SEPARATE AUXILIARY BRAKES ARE REQUIRED ON TRAILERS OR TOWED VEHICLES
OVER 680 KG (1500 LBS). DO NOT CONNECT A TRAILER'S, DOLLY'S OR OTHER TOWED
VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM TO THE TOWING VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM.
TOWED VEHICLES
1. Trailer-towed - The vehicle should be loaded on the trailer in a manner to:
a. achieve a trailer tongue load of 10-15% of total trailer weight,
b. not exceed the trailer or hitch ratings and
c. be securely tied down.
2. Dolly-towed - For front wheel drive vehicles, towing an automatic transaxle (ATX)-equipped
vehicle behind another vehicle, such as a Recreational Vehicle (RV), requires that a front wheel
dolly or trailer be used.
NOTE:
TEMPO ALL-WHEEL DRIVE MODELS MUST BE TRAILER-TOWED. DO NOT TOW THESE
VEHICLES USING A TWO-WHEEL TOWING DOLLY.
CAUTION:
DO NOT TOW A VEHICLE WITH AN AUTOMATIC (ATX) TRANSAXLE WITH THE DRIVE
WHEELS ON THE GROUND. DAMAGE TO THE TRANSAXLE MAY RESULT.
3. Tow Bar-towed - Vehicles which can be successfully towed with a tow bar are listed in the
following chart. Additional vehicle-specific information follows the chart.
ALL VEHICLES
NOTE:
DO NOT TOW ANY VEHICLE AT A SPEED FASTER THAN 88 KM/H (55 MPH). THE MAXIMUM
TOWING DISTANCE (WHEN TOWED CORRECTLY) IS UNLIMITED.
WARNING:
NEVER USE A TOW BAR THAT ATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.

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

Overview Information
HYDRAULIC LIFT CYLINDER BRACKET REINFORCEMENT
AFFECTED VEHICLES CERTAIN 1993-1995 EXPLORER
OVERVIEW
Some Explorers may develop cracks in the liftgate bracket attachment area. In some rare cases,
the bracket may separate from the liftgate.
The following service procedures are designed to strengthen the attachment of the lift cylinder to
the liftgate:
Service Procedure A: This is the normal procedure to reinforce liftgate attachments that are not
cracked and is only used when the spot welds on BOTH bracket attachments are free from any
cracks or damage. The repair involves installation of a narrow reinforcement plate and is attached
with four (4) rivets. This reinforcement plate will be referred to as the 4-rivet plate.
Service Procedure B: This service procedure is designed to repair and strengthen liftgate brackets
that have cracked metal around the liftgate bracket spot welds or brackets that have separated
from the liftgate. The repair involves installation of a wide reinforcement plate and is attached with
seven (7) rivets and structural adhesive. This plate will be referred to as the 7-rivet plate.
Call the recall hotline at 1-800-325-5621 if the liftgate crack or torn sheet metal extends beyond the
perimeter of the 7-rivet plate.
THE FOLLOWING CAUTIONS APPLY TO ALL SERVICE PROCEDURES:
A. BE SURE TO USE THE CORRECT REINFORCEMENT PLATE ON EACH SIDE OF THE
VEHICLE. PLATES ARE MARKED "R" OR "L".
B. MARK AND DRILL HOLES ONLY IN THE ORDER DESCRIBED TO ENSURE ACCURATE
POSITIONING OF THE PLATE.
Service Procedure A
This is the normal procedure to reinforce liftgate attachments that are not cracked and is only used
when the spot welds on BOTH bracket attachments are free from any cracks or damage. The
repair involves installation of a narrow reinforcement plate and is attached with four (4) rivets. This
reinforcement plate will be referred to as the 4-rivet plate.
1. Open the liftgate and position a protective cover over the cargo area.
2. Support the liftgate with a tall jack stand covered with a cloth to protect the trim panel.

Overview Information
HYDRAULIC LIFT CYLINDER BRACKET REINFORCEMENT
AFFECTED VEHICLES CERTAIN 1993-1995 EXPLORER
OVERVIEW
Some Explorers may develop cracks in the liftgate bracket attachment area. In some rare cases,
the bracket may separate from the liftgate.
The following service procedures are designed to strengthen the attachment of the lift cylinder to
the liftgate:
Service Procedure A: This is the normal procedure to reinforce liftgate attachments that are not
cracked and is only used when the spot welds on BOTH bracket attachments are free from any
cracks or damage. The repair involves installation of a narrow reinforcement plate and is attached
with four (4) rivets. This reinforcement plate will be referred to as the 4-rivet plate.
Service Procedure B: This service procedure is designed to repair and strengthen liftgate brackets
that have cracked metal around the liftgate bracket spot welds or brackets that have separated
from the liftgate. The repair involves installation of a wide reinforcement plate and is attached with
seven (7) rivets and structural adhesive. This plate will be referred to as the 7-rivet plate.
Call the recall hotline at 1-800-325-5621 if the liftgate crack or torn sheet metal extends beyond the
perimeter of the 7-rivet plate.
THE FOLLOWING CAUTIONS APPLY TO ALL SERVICE PROCEDURES:
A. BE SURE TO USE THE CORRECT REINFORCEMENT PLATE ON EACH SIDE OF THE
VEHICLE. PLATES ARE MARKED "R" OR "L".
B. MARK AND DRILL HOLES ONLY IN THE ORDER DESCRIBED TO ENSURE ACCURATE
POSITIONING OF THE PLATE.
Service Procedure A
This is the normal procedure to reinforce liftgate attachments that are not cracked and is only used
when the spot welds on BOTH bracket attachments are free from any cracks or damage. The

all of these questions is "no", then install the bracket reinforcement kit and release the vehicle.
NOTE:
If the liftgate is replaced, do not install the reinforcement kits.
NOTE:
After painting a replacement liftgate, the existing components (wiper motor, rear window, electrical
harness, etc.) are to be transferred to the new Liftgate.

transmitters will be serviced at a central facility and returned to owners. This bulletin provides
instructions if owners should return to dealers for service. Owners will use the special mailing
envelope for this special "mail-in" service. However, there are two situations where an owner may
contact their dealer: 1.) where the special mailing envelope cannot be located, or 2.) where the
central servicing facility was unable to perform the required upgrade of the transmitter for technical
reasons. Dealers are required to provide transmitter reprogramming service along with a free
engine oil and filter change. In these situations customers will have received an authorization letter
along with the new transmitters. Additionally, customers are informed that the authorization letter
and the transmitters are to be presented when requesting this service.

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

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Paint, Striping and Decals > Paint > System Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Paint - Iron Particle Removal > Page 6435
3. Acid Rain
^ Surface will exhibit irregular discolored spotting.
^ Dark colored vehicles will show cloudy or greying spots where the acids have started to etch
away the paint.
NOTE:
IN EXTREME CASES ETCHING OF THE SURFACE WILL BE VISIBLE OR FELT.
DECONTAMINATION
Use Finish Kare Inc. products 1119/883/11850 to decontaminate the paint surface. Follow the
manufacturer's recommended procedures.
NOTE:
FORD DOES NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF OXALIC ACIDS OR OTHER "FALLOUT
REMOVERS".
1. Rinse off dust and debris with cold water. Be sure to start at the bottom and work up.
2. Prepare product "1119" by mixing one (1) part "1119" with four (4) parts cold water.
3. Use clean wash mitt and apply mixture to entire car, starting at the bottom and working up to the
top surface. Keep car wet with the solution for 5 to 10 minutes. Do not allow product to dry on the
car, and do not allow it to streak down the sides. Rewipe with mitt if necessary to avoid streaks.
4. Rinse car with cold water.
5. Dry the flat surfaces of the vehicle hood, roof and deck lid.
6. Apply product "883" directly to the contaminated surfaces using a clean dry sponge, wash mitt,
or soft truck brush ("883" is ready to use from the bottle, with no mixing involved). Keep the areas
wet with the "883" for 5 to 7 minutes. Do not allow to dry on the car. Wipe down to the body line on
the sides.
7. Prepare product "118SC" by mixing 1 oz (0.03 L) with 1 gal (3.785 L) of water.
8. Shampoo the vehicle with "118SC" shampoo mixture using a clean wash mitt and then rinse with
cold water.
NOTE:
DO NOT USE "1185C" MITT WITH "1119" OR "883" SOLUTIONS. USE SEPARATE MITTS AND
ALWAYS KEEP THEM SEPARATE.
9. Inspect paint surface to see if rust particles have been removed. If rust particles have been on
the vehicle for a long time, it may be necessary to repeat each of the above steps.
NOTE:
THE NEUTRALIZER CONCENTRATE IS A HEAVY DUTY SHAMPOO AND CAN BE USED IN AN
AUTOMATIC CAR WASH SYSTEM.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Paint, Striping and Decals > Paint > System Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Paint - Iron Particle Removal > Page 6436
CORRECTION OF SURFACE FOLLOWING DECONTAMINATION:
1. Visually inspect surface for evidence of removal of ferrous metal particles, crystalline deposits
and water spots. Acid rain discoloring or etching will require either buffing, color sanding or
refinishing if etching is visible.
2. Use the buffing products from only one (1) manufacturer. Do not intermix products.
3. Always follow the manufacturer's product sequence. Use appropriate pads with each product as
recommended by the manufacturer.
NOTE:
DO NOT REMOVE MORE THAN 0.3 OF A MIL OF PAINT MATERIAL, OR REPAINTING WILL BE
REQUIRED.
4. Use a dual action sander (D/A Sander) with a velcro-mount backing plate and appropriate foam
pad for final polishing swirl removal.
5. Use an alcohol and water mixture (1:4 ratio) to clean buffed areas to verify removal of scratches
and swirls before application of final protective glaze.
NOTE:
FREQUENT WASHING OF VEHICLES IS IMPORTANT. CONTAMINANTS SETTLE ONTO THE
VEHICLE EVERY DAY. USE CLEAN WATER (DEIONIZED, REVERSE OSMOSIS, ETC.) TWICE
WEEKLY TO REMOVE HEAVY DUST, AND PARTICULATES. THE USE OF A NEUTRAL pH
CAR WASH SOAP EVERY TWO (2) WEEKS IS RECOMMENDED TO NEUTRALIZE VEHICLE
CONTAMINATION.

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

ALTERNATIVE SANDING PROCEDURES WHEN EXTENSIVE SANDING IS REQUIRED
The following procedures for sheet metal preparation by sanding or media blasting are based on
tests conducted by Ford Motor Company in accordance with requirements set forth in the Federal
OSHA Inorganic Lead Standard 29 CFR 1910.1025.
SANDING PROCEDURE
1. Each technician performing the sanding operation MUST wear an approved respirator with high
efficiency particulate filter (HEPA).
2. Technicians should use dual action sander with vacuum collection.
3. The vacuum equipment MUST be equipped with a HEPA filter on the air exhaust. Dealers are
cautioned not to exhaust vacuum air into the atmosphere. Operators are cautioned to follow the
manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance and the replacement of filters.
MEDIA BLASTING PROCEDURE
1. Testing has shown that plastic media blasting meets OSHA lead standard requirements and is
efficient when the manufacturer's published procedures are followed.
2. The operator must wear an air supplied hood using compressed air free from carbon monoxide,
oil, water, and other contamination when performing this operation. Specifics of the media blasting
procedure for whole body paint removal have been previously published.

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

Weatherstrip Windnoise or Appearance Service Tips
The following text explains attachment methods for Ford Motor Company's generic repair
standards for loose and/or misaligned weatherstrips.
Flanges
are typically used on the body opening where weatherstrip retention fins grab onto each side of the
sheet metal flange to retain the weatherstrip with a press fit. In cases where these weatherstrips
become loose and/or misaligned, they can be reinstalled by pressing the locking retention fins back
onto the sheet metal flange and stretching to provide better retention around corners. If the
weatherstrip retention fins or metal carrier become damaged, it is also required that the U-section
be carefully bent back into the proper shape to properly lock onto the sheet metal flange. Once
replaced, check the weatherstrip for proper retention. If required, Weatherstrip and Rubber
Adhesive (E8AZ-19552-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESB-M2G14-A) should be
applied to the inside of the weatherstrip U-section to bond with the sheet metal flange for proper
retention force.
Sheet Metal C-Channels
are typically used on the upper perimeter of the door assembly or body panel to hold the
weatherstrip molded base inside the C-channel. In cases where these weatherstrips pop out of the
channel, repair by first removing the weatherstrip from the entire channel, and reassemble by
sliding the molded base back into the channel. If the sheet metal channel has been damaged, it is
also required that the C-channel be carefully bent back into the proper shape to retain the
weatherstrip molded base.
Push Pins
are typically used on the lower perimeter of the door assembly attached to the weatherstrip. They
are press fit into sheet metal holes for retention. Push pins can be gently removed by pulling the
actual pin normal to the surface, out of the hole, and reinserted without damage. If a push pin is
damaged, it should be replaced by first removing the existing push pin. Then, the base of a new
push pin should be inserted into the weatherstrip hole, and finally press fit into the corresponding
sheet metal hole. All door perimeter weatherstrip push pins should be repaired using Ford standard
N806340-S.
Rivets
are used to attach some weatherstrips to the sheet metal body. In cases where a rivet becomes
loose, the entire rivet should be removed and replaced with a new rivet.
Adhesive Tape
is used to adhere smaller weatherstrip sections to the painted sheet metal surface. All surfaces
must be clean and dry before any weatherstrip reattachment is performed. Adhesive tears should
be reattached to the painted surface using general purpose Instant Adhesive (E8AZ-19554-A or
equivalent).
Verification
1. If the weatherstrip is not attached properly, reattach it correctly.
2. If the condition of the weatherstrip is good and it is attached properly, test drive the vehicle to
diagnose the root cause of the windnoise. Verify the sealing contact between the door and the
weatherstrip is sufficient with the 3X5" Card Test or a Chalk Test found in this TSB article.
3. If sealing contact between the weatherstrip and the door is the root cause of the windnoise,
readjust the doors to contact the weatherstrips.
NOTE
WEATHERSTRIP REPAIRS SHOULD NOT CREATE UNACCEPTABLE DOOR CLOSING
EFFORTS, WINDNOISE CONCERNS, OR WATER LEAK CONCERNS WITH THE DOOR
SYSTEM.
3X5" Card Test
1. Insert a 3x5" card between the door and the weatherstrip at the base of the A-pillar with the door
closed.
2. Run the card up along the A-pillar.
If the card easily moves at any location along the A-pillar, then the sealing contact between the
door and the weatherstrip is insufficient and the door should be adjusted to increase the sealing
contact. This test can only be used to evaluate the A-pillar sealing contact at the margin. To
evaluate sealing contact of the primary and secondary weatherstrips, a Chalk Test must be
performed.
Chalk Test
1. Lightly and evenly spray the sheet metal sealing surface of the door and body with a tracing
powder (chalk spray).
2. Gently close the door, applying pressure only at the latch to prevent overslam (which will give an
inaccurate reading).
3. Open the door and inspect the seals for degree of compression and possible skips.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Weatherstrip > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Customer Interest for Weatherstrip: > 99-6-5 > Apr > 99 > Side Doors - Wind Noises > Page 6544
To provide adequate sealing contact, the weatherstrip-to-sheet metal contact should provide a
tracing powder footprint width of 4-6 mm on the weatherstrips. Any skips or tracing powder
footprints less than 3mm in width indicate insufficient door-to-weatherstrip sealing contact and the
door should be adjusted to increase the sealing contact.
Door Adjusting
Refer to Figures 1 and 2.
1. The upper and lower door hinges provide sufficient in/out adjustment to increase door contact
with the dynamic weatherstrips. The door should not be pried or forced into alignment. To properly
correct the door fit to the weatherstrips, the door striker and/or hinge bolts to the door must be
loosened and adjusted to perform the alignment procedure. Note that the door striker only controls
the in/out location of the door at the rear latch area. The hinges control the in/out location of the
door at the front, and the overall tip or tilt of the door when viewed from the front or rear.
2. Review the overall fit of the door to the surrounding panels, and the amount of compression of
the weatherstrip at all locations around the door. The fitting procedure is mastered sequentially
from the rear of the vehicle to the front:
^ from the quarter panel to the rear door
^ from the rear door to the front door
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L (1994))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Weatherstrip > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Customer Interest for Weatherstrip: > 99-6-5 > Apr > 99 > Side Doors - Wind Noises > Page 6545
^ then the front door to the fender
All mating surfaces should be reviewed and, if necessary, refit starting with correcting the rear door
to the quarter panel and working forward.
3. The door should be adjusted to obtain proper seal compression while maintaining a good door
fit. An adjustment may be required only at one hinge. For example: if the top of the door is
outboard, causing a lack of seal compression around the upper door frame area, and the fit of the
lower part of the door is good to the adjacent panels, an inward adjustment at only the upper hinge
would be appropriate (refer to Step 5). Note that adjustments to the rear door may require
additional adjustments to the front door, and then also possibly to the front fender to maintain the
proper panel fit and alignment.
4. The rear of the door should be set in/out with the striker to align at the door latch area with the
mating panel. If the upper or lower part of the door doesn't align to the adjacent panel, the amount
of door tip must be corrected by adjustment at the hinges in order to get both the upper and lower
surfaces of the door aligned or flushed to the adjacent panels.
5. The in/out setting at the front of the doors is controlled by the hinge adjustment.
^ It should be set to obtain the proper amount of seal contact, which can be determined using the
3X5" Card Test or the Chalk Test.
^ As a guideline, if there is insufficient weatherstrip contact of the door, the hinge(s) should be
adjusted 2-4 mm inboard. This is accomplished by loosening the hinge~to-door bolts just enough to
permit movement of the door with a padded pry bar.
^ Only one hinge should be adjusted at a time. The other tight hinge helps to prevent any drastic
door movement (which may result due to the weight of the door) which will result in a complete
door refitting for both up/down as well as in/out positions.
^ The amount of movement can be determined by outlining the hinge mounting area on the door
prior to adjustment, and measuring the hinge movement relative to this outline after adjustment. A
2-4mm adjustment should be sufficient to return the door to within its nominal operating range.
6. Finally, the door closing effort should be checked to be sure the seal compression has not
increased so much that a closing effort concern has been created. If the efforts are unacceptably
high, the door may have been moved excessively inward, and should be refitted outward to a
location that balances the seal compression for windnoise with closing efforts. It may be necessary
to perform another 3X5" Card Test or Chalk Test to verify the final seal compression.

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

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

Description and Operation
Fuel Gauge: Description and Operation
This fuel level indicating system consists of a sending unit attached to the fuel tank and a fuel
gauge mounted on the instrument panel. The magnetic fuel indicator gauge creates a polarity in the
wire windings which, depending on the resistance at the sender, controls the degree of pointer
rotation. This gauge operates on battery voltage. The fuel sender consists of a variable resistor,
controlled by the action of an attached float in the fuel tank.

ISSUE: Some vehicles may have a disconnect of the Ignition Control Module (ICM) connector or
moisture buildup within the connector. This can cause hard to start/no start, rough idle, or "check
engine light" illumination concerns. The improved gasket and connector retainer that are currently
used in production are now available for service of prior model distributorless ignition systems.
ACTION: Install new Connector Sleeve Retainer Clip and a current production seal (gasket). The
clip assembles in between the connector beams and the ICM which will prevent accidental
disconnects. The new seal is a "solid silicone" gasket that provides improved resistance to
moisture entry into the connector. Refer to the ICM Connector Harness Wire Service kit
(F5CZ-14A411-AA) for service details (I.S. 6621).

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
To alert the vehicle operator of a malfunction in the electronic engine control system.
OPERATION
The Malfunction Indicator will light with the ignition switch in the ON position prior to cranking, and
goes out when the engine starts. If a fault develops, the powertrain control module will turn the
indicator ON.

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

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

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
The oil pressure warning light should go on when the ignition is turned on. If it does not light,
disconnect the wire from the engine unit and ground the wire to the frame or cylinder block. Then if
the warning light still does not go on with the ignition switch on, replace the bulb.
If the warning light goes on when the wire is grounded to the frame or cylinder block, the engine
unit should be checked for being loose or poorly grounded. If the unit is found to be tight and
properly grounded, it should be removed and a new one installed. (The presence of sealing
compound on the threads of the engine unit will cause a poor ground).
If the warning light remains lit when it normally should be out, replace the engine unit before
proceeding further to determine the cause for a low pressure indication.
The warning light will sometimes light up or flicker when engine is idling, even though oil pressure
is adequate. However, light should go out when engine speed is increased.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct model year application and revise the
part descriptions.
ISSUE: Some vehicles may show temperature gauge fluctuations and/or inaccurate (high) readings
(affected engines are 3.0L/4.0L Ranger. 4.0L Explore and 1.9L Escort/Tracer). The inaccurate
(high) readings may result in a customer concern with the perception of engine overheating. This is
caused by Gauge/Sender design characteristics which create a sensitive gauge indication.
ACTION: Replace the gauge and sender with a new Temperature Indication Service Kit. Refer to
the following for Additional Concerns and Service Procedure for details.
ADDITIONAL CONCERNS
Please verify the following two (2) concerns before implementing the fix for the above concern.
1. Perform cooling system diagnosis per TSB 93-24-8.
2. Vehicles built from 1/1/93 to 4/1/93 may experience high temperature gauge indications which
may have been due to the installation of improperly manufactured temperature sending units. The
customer concern is that the gauge indication is beyond the letter "L" in the word "NORMAL". If this
condition occurs, inspect the temperature sender for an "A3" stamped date code on the hex of the
sending unit. If an "A3" unit is found, replace with "NON-A3" service stock.
3. 1993 Taurus/Sable 3.8L vehicles built 8/16/93 to 8/31/93 may have high temperature gauge
readings caused by an incorrect temperature sending unit installed at the assembly plant. The
incorrect temperature sending unit can be identified by a blue insulator around the terminal. The
correct temperature sending unit has a green insulator. If a temperature sending unit with a blue
insulator is found, replace it with an F1SZ-10884-A.
4. Explorer 4.0L vehicles with date code 2204 to 2274 should not be used. Any other date code

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct model year application and revise the
part descriptions.
ISSUE: Some vehicles may show temperature gauge fluctuations and/or inaccurate (high) readings
(affected engines are 3.0L/4.0L Ranger. 4.0L Explore and 1.9L Escort/Tracer). The inaccurate
(high) readings may result in a customer concern with the perception of engine overheating. This is
caused by Gauge/Sender design characteristics which create a sensitive gauge indication.
ACTION: Replace the gauge and sender with a new Temperature Indication Service Kit. Refer to
the following for Additional Concerns and Service Procedure for details.
ADDITIONAL CONCERNS
Please verify the following two (2) concerns before implementing the fix for the above concern.
1. Perform cooling system diagnosis per TSB 93-24-8.
2. Vehicles built from 1/1/93 to 4/1/93 may experience high temperature gauge indications which
may have been due to the installation of improperly manufactured temperature sending units. The
customer concern is that the gauge indication is beyond the letter "L" in the word "NORMAL". If this
condition occurs, inspect the temperature sender for an "A3" stamped date code on the hex of the
sending unit. If an "A3" unit is found, replace with "NON-A3" service stock.
3. 1993 Taurus/Sable 3.8L vehicles built 8/16/93 to 8/31/93 may have high temperature gauge
readings caused by an incorrect temperature sending unit installed at the assembly plant. The
incorrect temperature sending unit can be identified by a blue insulator around the terminal. The
correct temperature sending unit has a green insulator. If a temperature sending unit with a blue
insulator is found, replace it with an F1SZ-10884-A.
4. Explorer 4.0L vehicles with date code 2204 to 2274 should not be used. Any other date code
outside this is acceptable even with an "A3" stamp.
NOTE:
DATE CODES ARE BASED ON THE JULIAN DATE CODE SYSTEM. THE LAST NUMBER

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

Removal
1. Raise the window to the full-up position, if possible. If the glass cannot be raised and is in a
partially down position, it must be supported so that it
will not fall into the door well during motor removal.
2. Disconnect battery ground cable.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with EEC, when the battery has been disconnected and reconnected,
some abnormal drive symptoms may occur while the EEC processor relearns its adaptive strategy.
The vehicle may need to be driven 10 miles or more to relearn the strategy.
3. Remove door trim panel and watershield.
4. Disconnect window motor connector.
5. Position the motor wiring harness out of the way. There are two holes and one drill dimple
located on the door inner panel adjacent to the motor.
CAUTION: Prior to motor removal, make sure that the regulator arm is in a fixed position to prevent
counterbalance spring unwind.
6. Remove the three window motor mounting screws and disengage the motor and drive assembly
from the regulator quadrant gear.
Installation
1. Position the motor and drive to the regulator and install the three screws snug, not tight.
2. Connect the motor wires at the connector and cycle the glass to ensure gear engagement. After
the gears are engaged, tighten the three motor and
drive attaching screws to 5.6-9.6 N-m (50-84 in-lb).
3. Install the door trim panel and watershield. Refer to «Section 01-05B».

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

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