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

Electronic Throttle Control Module: Description and Operation
TORQUE BASED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC)
Overview
The torque based ETC is a hardware and software strategy that delivers an engine output torque
(via throttle angle) based on driver demand (pedal position). It uses an electronic throttle body, the
powertrain control module (PCM), and an accelerator pedal assembly to control the throttle
opening and engine torque. The ETC system replaces the standard cable operated accelerator
pedal, idle air control (IAC) valve, 3-wire throttle position (TP) sensor, and mechanical throttle body.
Torque based ETC enables aggressive automatic transmission shift schedules (earlier upshifts and
later downshifts). This is possible by adjusting the throttle angle to achieve the same wheel torque
during shifts, and by calculating this desired torque, the system prevents engine lugging (low RPM
and low manifold vacuum) while still delivering the performance and torque requested by the driver.
It also enables many fuel economy/emission improvement technologies such as variable camshaft
timing (VCT) (deliver same torque during transitions).
Torque based ETC also results in less intrusive vehicle and engine speed limiting, along with
smoother traction control.
Other benefits of ETC are: eliminate cruise control actuators
- eliminate idle air control (IAC) valve
- better airflow range
- packaging (no cable)
- more responsive powertrain at altitude and improved shift quality
It should be noted that the ETC system illuminates a powertrain malfunction indicator (wrench) on
the instrument cluster when a concern is present. Concerns are accompanied by diagnostic trouble
codes (DTCs) and may also illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
Electronic Throttle Body (ETB)
The ETB has the following characteristics: 1. The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor is a DC
motor controlled by the PCM (requires 2-wires). The gear ratio from the motor to the throttle
plate shaft is 17:1.
2. There are 2 designs: parallel and in-series. The parallel design has the motor under the bore
parallel to the plate shaft. The motor housing is
integrated into the main housing. The in-series design has a separate motor housing.
3. Two springs are used: one is used to close the throttle (main spring) and the other is in a plunger
assembly that results in a default angle when no
power is applied. This is for limp home reasons (the force of the plunger spring is 2 times stronger
than the main spring). The default angle is usually set to result in a top vehicle speed of 48 km/h
(30 mph). Typically this throttle angle is 7 to 8 degrees from the hard-stop angle.
4. The closed throttle plate hard stop is used to prevent the throttle from binding in the bore (~0.75
degree). This hard stop setting is not adjustable
and is set to result in less airflow than the minimum engine airflow required at idle.
5. Unlike cable operated throttle bodies, the intent for the ETB is not to have a hole in the throttle
plate or to use plate sealant. The hole is not
required in the ETB because the required idle airflow is provided by the plate angle in the throttle
body assembly. This plate angle controls idle, idle quality, and eliminates the need for an IAC
valve.
6. The TP sensor has 2 signal circuits in the sensor for redundancy. The redundant throttle position
signals are required for increased monitoring
reasons. The first TP signal (TP1) has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and
the second signal (TP2) has a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal
operation the negative slope TP signal (TP1) is used by the control strategy as the indication of
throttle position. The TP sensor assembly requires 4 circuits. 5-volt reference voltage
- Signal return (ground)
- TP1 voltage with negative voltage slope (5-0 volts)
- TP2 voltage with positive voltage slope (0-5 volts)
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensors

Operation > Page 185
Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) And Accelerator Pedal Assembly
The ETC strategy uses pedal position sensors as an input to determine the driver demand. 1.
There are 3 pedal position signals required for system monitoring. APP1 has a negative slope
(increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and APP2 and
APP3 both have a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation
APP1 is used as the indication of pedal position by the strategy.
2. There are 2 VREF circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 3 signal circuits (a total of 7 circuits and
pins) between the PCM and the APP sensor
assembly. 2 reference voltage circuits (5 volts)
- 2 signal return (ground) circuits
- APP1 voltage with negative voltage slope (5-0 volts)
- APP2 voltage with positive voltage slope (0-5 volts)
- APP3 voltage with positive voltage slope (0-5 volts)
3. The pedal position signal is convened to pedal travel degrees (rotary angle) by the PCM. The
software then converts these degrees to counts,
which is the input to the torque based strategy.
4. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a
concern. The PCM determines if a signal is
incorrect by calculating where it should be, inferred from the other signals. A value is substituted for
an incorrect signal if 2 of the 3 signals are incorrect.
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) System Strategy

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

ETC System Failure Mode And Effects Management (Part 2)
Since the IPC and the main controller share the same processor, they are subject to a number of
potential common failure modes. The E-Quizzer processor was added to redundantly monitor
selected PCM inputs and to act as an intelligent watchdog and monitor the performance of the IPC
and the main processor. If it determines that the IPC function is impaired in any way, it takes
appropriate failure mode and effects management (FMEM) actions.

Throttle Plate Controller Check Operation
The purpose of the TPPC is to maintain the throttle position at the desired throttle angle. It is a
separate chip embedded in the PCM. The desired angle is communicated from the main CPU via a
312.5 Hz duty cycle (DC) signal. The TPPC interprets the duty cycle signal as follows: Less than 4% - Out of range, limp home default position.
- Greater than or equal to 4% but less than 6% - Commanded default position, closed.
- Greater than or equal to 6% but less than 7% - Commanded default position. Used for key ON,
engine OFF.
- Greater than or equal to 7% but less than 8% - Enable ice breaker mode. Used to clear potential
ice buildup in the throttle body.
- Greater than or equal to 8% but less than 10% - Closed against hard-stop. Used to learn zero
throttle angle position (hard stop) after key-up.
- Greater than or equal to 10% but less than or equal to 92% - Normal operation, between 0
degrees (hard stop) and 82 degrees, 10% duty cycle equals 0 degrees throttle angle, 92% duty
cycle equals 82 degrees throttle angle.
- Greater than 92% but less than or equal to 96% - Wide open throttle, 82 to 86 degrees throttle
angle.
- Greater than 96% but less than or equal to 100% - Out of range, limp home default position.
The desired angle is relative to the hard-stop angle. The hard stop angle is learned during each
key-up process before the main CPU requests the throttle plate be closed against the hard stop.
The output of the TPPC is a voltage request to the H driver (also in PCM). The H driver is capable
of positive or negative voltage to the electronic throttle body motor.

deceleration, difficulty starting, and/or idle RPM less than desired. Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
may be illuminated with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0506 and/or P0505. These conditions
may appear after battery disconnect, dead battery condition, or keep alive memory (KAM) reset.
The symptoms may be due to engine deposits in the throttle leading to air[low less than desired.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 53.9
and higher or 54.1 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2008.1 DVD.
Calibration files may also be obtained at the website. The calibration contains a sludge
compensation strategy for the throttle body.
2. Turn the key off to re-initialize the PCM. This will allow the sludge compensation strategy to
learn.
3. With the vehicle in park or neutral and A/C off, start vehicle and allow engine to reach normal
operating temperature(greater than 170 °F (77 °C) coolant temperature). Run an additional 5
minutes to allow sufficient learning time.
4. While the engine is running, using IDS datalogger or equivalent, check the PID value of
ETC_TRIM.
a. If ETC_TRIM value is 3.5 degrees, and/or DTC PuSE is present, then replace the electronic
throttle body (ETB), following Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-04B.
b. If ETC_TRIM value is less than 3.5 degrees and DTC PuSE is not present, but driveability
concerns persist, the ETB is not the likely cause of the concern and replacement is not necessary.
Continue with normal PC/ED diagnostics.

vehicles may exhibit one or more of the following symptoms: drive-away hesitation, loss of RPM on
deceleration, difficulty starting, and/or idle RPM less than desired. Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
may be illuminated with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0506 and/or P0505. These conditions
may appear after battery disconnect, dead battery condition, or keep alive memory (KAM) reset.
The symptoms may be due to engine deposits in the throttle leading to air[low less than desired.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 53.9
and higher or 54.1 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2008.1 DVD.
Calibration files may also be obtained at the website. The calibration contains a sludge
compensation strategy for the throttle body.
2. Turn the key off to re-initialize the PCM. This will allow the sludge compensation strategy to
learn.
3. With the vehicle in park or neutral and A/C off, start vehicle and allow engine to reach normal
operating temperature(greater than 170 °F (77 °C) coolant temperature). Run an additional 5
minutes to allow sufficient learning time.
4. While the engine is running, using IDS datalogger or equivalent, check the PID value of
ETC_TRIM.
a. If ETC_TRIM value is 3.5 degrees, and/or DTC PuSE is present, then replace the electronic
throttle body (ETB), following Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-04B.
b. If ETC_TRIM value is less than 3.5 degrees and DTC PuSE is not present, but driveability

This article supersedes TSB 06-16-7 to update the Service Procedure.
ISSUE Some 2004-2007 Explorer 4dr/Mountaineer vehicles may exhibit the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0463 or an erratic fuel gauge concern. This
could be from sulphur contamination in the fuel, causing an open or high resistance on the fuel
sender card.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. For vehicles with customer symptom of erratic fuel gauge operation (with no MIL on), proceed to
Step 1a. For vehicles with a customer symptom including the MIL on, proceed to Step 1b. If unable
to verify the concern, do not continue with this TSB.
a. Follow the appropriate pinpoint test (PPT) for "Fuel Gauge Inaccurate" in Workshop Manual
(WSM), Section 413-01. If PPT test results lead to fuel pump module replacement, proceed to Step
2. If PPT test results isolate any problem other than fuel pump module replacement, repair as
indicated and do not continue with this TSB.
b. Install diagnostic scan tool to retrieve DTCs. If DTC P0463 is retrieved, proceed to Step 2. If
DTC P0463 is not retrieved, this TSB does not apply, follow normal WSM diagnostics.
2. Remove fuel tank per WSM, Section 310-01.
3. Remove fuel pump assembly from fuel tank per WSM, Section 310-01. See Figure 1 (Chart) to
determine if a kit (contains a fuel level sensor assembly, a wire harness and heat shrink tube) or
fuel pump assembly is required for repair. For vehicles that can be serviced with a kit go to Step 4.
For vehicles that require fuel pump assembly replacement, go to Step 12.
4. Remove the fuel level sensor assembly (sender card/float rod assembly) from the fuel pump
assembly per WSM, Section 310-01.

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

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

ISSUE Various 2001-2007 vehicles are equipped with a restraints control module (RCM) that report
diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) which provide general fault information. These DTCs require
accessing the associated bit-mapped PIDs (fault PIDs) to identify the specific fault. Most
2001-2006 Workshop Manuals (WSM) were written using New Generation STAR Tester (NGS)
terminology and navigation which does not translate well when using Integrated Diagnostic System
(IDS), Portable Diagnostic Software (PDS) or Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS).
ACTION Refer to the Service Tips to assist with navigation of both the WSM and the scan tool
being used.
SERVICE TIPS
DTCs And Associated Fault PIDs Description
Many of the continuous memory and on-demand DTCs that can be present in the RCM provide
general fault information and require accessing the associated bit-mapped PIDs (fault PIDs) to
identify the specific concern. DTCs that use fault PIDs are conceptually different from conventional
DTCs.
Conventional DTCs identify a specific concern for a given component and point to a particular
diagnostic path. In the diagnostic path, PIDs are sometimes used to determine the root cause.

DTCs that use fault PIDs do not identify the specific concern. The DTC identifies the component(s)
or type of component(s) in which the concern exists. The next level, fault PIDs, identifies the
specific device and fault condition. Fault PIDs are available for both on-demand (active) and
continuous memory (historic or intermittent) DTCs. A scan tool must be used to view the DTCs and
their fault PIDs. The table lists those DTCs that are supported by associated fault PIDs. (Figures
1-5)
VIEWING FAULT PIDS USING SCAN TOOLS WSM Direction to FLAG DTC/View Fault PIDs
The information in viewing fault PIDs in the WSM has evolved over the years as the scan tools
have transitioned. Examples of how the WSM may direct you to view fault PIDs are:
^ FLAG DTC XXXXX/Record All Flagged Faults (2001-2006 WS Ms)

294
^ View and Record DTC XXXXX Fault PIDs (2007 WSM)
^ DataLogger/View and Record DTC XXXXX Fault Pids (2008 and future WSMs)
In each instance the direction is the same (view fault PIDs to identify the specific component and
fault condition) but how they are accessed by the scan tools, as well as the scan tool terminology,
will vary.
FLAG the DTC - View the Fault PIDs
For example, the "Flag" DTC feature is specific to NGS/NGS+. When using IDS/PDS it is
necessary to view the fault PIDs from DataLogger.
Using IDS/PDS
NOTE
WHEN USING IDS/PDS, MOVE THE CURSOR OVER THE PID OR SELECT THE PID TO
DISPLAY ITS DEFINITION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. WHEN USING PDS,
HIGHLIGHT OR MOVE THE STYLUS OVER THE PID TO SEE THE PID DEFINITION.
1. Perform a self test of the RCM and/or OCS module to retrieve on-demand and continuous
memory DTCs.
2. To view the fault PIDs associated with an on-demand DTC:
a. Toolbox
b. DataLogger
c. Modules
d. RCM
3. Monitor all "_OD" PID(s) matching the DTC present; follow diagnostic procedure for the PID that
reads "FAULT".
^ For example, a B2296 fault is present. In DataLogger the fault PID 2296_18_OD PID reads
"FAULT' indicating a front internal crash sensor fault.
4. To view the fault PIDs associated with a continuous memory DTC:
a. Toolbox
b. DataLogger
c. Modules
d. RCM
5. Monitor all "_CM" PID(s) matching the DTC present; follow diagnostic procedure for the PID that
reads "FAULT".
For example, a B2296 fault is present. In DataLogger the fault PID 2296_18_CM PID reads
"FAULT" indicating a front internal crash sensor fault.
IDS/PDS Fault PID Naming Conventions
The fault PIDs as displayed on IDS/PDS uses a strategy associating it with the DTC. For example,
the fault PIDs 2296_18_OD and 2296_18_CM break down as follows:
^ 2296 - The DTC number minus the "B" (body) or "C" (chassis) designation.
^ 18 - An identifier used to distinguish between each of the fault PIDs associated with the DTC.
^ OD - Identifies the fault PID as an on-demand fault.
^ CM - Identifies the fault PID as a continuous memory (intermittent) fault.
NOTE
THE DTCS AND FAULT PIDS SUPPORTED BY A VEHICLE WILL VARY DEPENDING ON
VEHICLE EQUIPMENT.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM)
WARNING:
- Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control
module (RCM) while the RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in the inadvertent deployment of the safety canopy and risk of personal
injury.
- The restraints control module (RCM) orientation is critical for correct system operation. If a vehicle
equipped with an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) has been involved in a collision in
which the center tunnel area has been damaged, inspect the mounting and bracket for
deformation. If damaged, a new RCM must be installed whether or not the air bags have deployed.
In addition, make sure the area of the RCM mounting is restored to its original condition.
CAUTION: When installing a new RCM on vehicles built 7/31/06 or after, it is necessary to carry
out programmable module installation (PMI).
NOTE: When installing a new RCM, always make sure the correct RCM is being installed. If an
incorrect RCM is installed, erroneous DTCs will result.
The RCM carries out the following functions:
- deploys the air bag(s) in the event of a deployable crash.
- activates the safety belt buckle pretensioner and safety belt adaptive load limiting retractor to
control tension on the safety belt.
- monitors the SRS for faults.
- requests the illumination of the air bag indicator if a fault is detected.
- communicates through the DLC the on-demand or continuous DTCs.
The RCM monitors the SRS for possible faults. If a fault is detected while the ignition switch is in
the ON position, the RCM will request illumination of the air bag indicator located in the instrument
cluster.
When the ignition is cycled (turned OFF and then ON), the air bag indicator will prove out by
lighting for 6 seconds and then off. If a SRS fault exists, the air bag indicator will illuminate and
remain illuminated for the rest of the key cycle. The RCM will also communicate the on-demand
(current) and continuous (historical) DTCs through the DLC, to the scan tool. If the RCM requests
illumination of the air bag indicator and the air bag indicator does not function, the instrument
cluster module will automatically activate an audible chime. The chime is a series of 5 sets of 5
tone bursts. If the chime is heard, the SRS and the air bag indicator require repair.
The RCM includes a backup power supply. This feature provides sufficient backup power to deploy
the air bags in the event that the ignition circuit is lost or damaged during impact. The backup
power supply will deplete its stored energy approximately one minute after the battery ground cable
is disconnected.

WARNING:
- Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag SRS vehicle and when handling an air bag
module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
- Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control
module (RCM) while the RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in the inadvertent deployment of the safety canopy and risk of personal
injury.
- The RCM orientation is critical for correct air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) operation.
If a vehicle equipped with an SRS system has been involved in a collision in which the center
tunnel area has been damaged, inspect the mounting and bracket for deformation. If damaged, the
RCM must be installed new whether or not the air bags have deployed. In addition, make sure the
area of

the RCM mounting is restored to its original condition.
- Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for correct system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air
bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is involved in a collision, inspect the sensor mounting
bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. Install a new sensor and correctly position the sensor or
any other damaged SRS components whether or not the air bag is deployed.
- The tightening torque of the air bag RCM retaining nuts is critical for correct system operation.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
CAUTION:
- Electronic modules are sensitive to static electrical charges. If exposed to these charges, damage
can result.
- When installing a new RCM on vehicles built 7/31/06 or after, it is necessary to carry out
programmable module installation (PMI). See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Information Bus/Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning
NOTE:
- When installing a new RCM, always make sure the correct RCM is being installed. If an incorrect
RCM is installed, erroneous DTCs will result.
- The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is
ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a SRS fault.
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
- Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install
the original part and carry out the diagnostic procedure again.
Vehicles built 7/31/06 or after 1. Carry out the steps necessary to prepare for programmable
module installation (PMI).

7. Install the floor console. 8. Repower the system. Do not prove out the SRS at this time.
Vehicles built 7/31/06 or after 9. Carry out the steps necessary to complete PMI.
All vehicles 10. Prove out the supplemental restraint system (SRS) as follows:
Turn the ignition switch from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition switch back to ON
and visually monitor the air bag indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag indicator
will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS fault is
present, the air bag indicator will: fail to light.
- remain lit continuously.
- flash at a 5 Hz rate (RCM not configured).
The air bag indicator might not light until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has
been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the
testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime will sound
in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag indicator and any SRS fault discovered
must be diagnosed and repaired.
Clear all continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the RCM and occupant classification
sensor (OCS) module using a scan tool.

This article supersedes TSB 07-7-8 to update the vehicle application.
ISSUE Various 2001-2007 vehicles are equipped with a restraints control module (RCM) that report
diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) which provide general fault information. These DTCs require
accessing the associated bit-mapped PIDs (fault PIDs) to identify the specific fault. Most
2001-2006 Workshop Manuals (WSM) were written using New Generation STAR Tester (NGS)
terminology and navigation which does not translate well when using Integrated Diagnostic System
(IDS), Portable Diagnostic Software (PDS) or Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS).
ACTION Refer to the Service Tips to assist with navigation of both the WSM and the scan tool
being used.
SERVICE TIPS
DTCs And Associated Fault PIDs Description
Many of the continuous memory and on-demand DTCs that can be present in the RCM provide
general fault information and require accessing the associated bit-mapped PIDs (fault PIDs) to
identify the specific concern. DTCs that use fault PIDs are conceptually different from conventional
DTCs.
Conventional DTCs identify a specific concern for a given component and point to a particular
diagnostic path. In the diagnostic path, PIDs are sometimes used to determine the root cause.

DTCs that use fault PIDs do not identify the specific concern. The DTC identifies the component(s)
or type of component(s) in which the concern exists. The next level, fault PIDs, identifies the
specific device and fault condition. Fault PIDs are available for both on-demand (active) and
continuous memory (historic or intermittent) DTCs. A scan tool must be used to view the DTCs and
their fault PIDs. The table lists those DTCs that are supported by associated fault PIDs. (Figures
1-5)
VIEWING FAULT PIDS USING SCAN TOOLS WSM Direction to FLAG DTC/View Fault PIDs
The information in viewing fault PIDs in the WSM has evolved over the years as the scan tools
have transitioned. Examples of how the WSM may direct you to view fault PIDs are:
^ FLAG DTC XXXXX/Record All Flagged Faults (2001-2006 WS Ms)

315
^ View and Record DTC XXXXX Fault PIDs (2007 WSM)
^ DataLogger/View and Record DTC XXXXX Fault Pids (2008 and future WSMs)
In each instance the direction is the same (view fault PIDs to identify the specific component and
fault condition) but how they are accessed by the scan tools, as well as the scan tool terminology,
will vary.
FLAG the DTC - View the Fault PIDs
For example, the "Flag" DTC feature is specific to NGS/NGS+. When using IDS/PDS it is
necessary to view the fault PIDs from DataLogger.
Using IDS/PDS
NOTE
WHEN USING IDS/PDS, MOVE THE CURSOR OVER THE PID OR SELECT THE PID TO
DISPLAY ITS DEFINITION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. WHEN USING PDS,
HIGHLIGHT OR MOVE THE STYLUS OVER THE PID TO SEE THE PID DEFINITION.
1. Perform a self test of the RCM and/or OCS module to retrieve on-demand and continuous
memory DTCs.
2. To view the fault PIDs associated with an on-demand DTC:
a. Toolbox
b. DataLogger
c. Modules
d. RCM
3. Monitor all "_OD" PID(s) matching the DTC present; follow diagnostic procedure for the PID that
reads "FAULT".
^ For example, a B2296 fault is present. In DataLogger the fault PID 2296_18_OD PID reads
"FAULT' indicating a front internal crash sensor fault.
4. To view the fault PIDs associated with a continuous memory DTC:
a. Toolbox
b. DataLogger
c. Modules
d. RCM
5. Monitor all "_CM" PID(s) matching the DTC present; follow diagnostic procedure for the PID that
reads "FAULT".
For example, a B2296 fault is present. In DataLogger the fault PID 2296_18_CM PID reads
"FAULT" indicating a front internal crash sensor fault.
IDS/PDS Fault PID Naming Conventions
The fault PIDs as displayed on IDS/PDS uses a strategy associating it with the DTC. For example,
the fault PIDs 2296_18_OD and 2296_18_CM break down as follows:
^ 2296 - The DTC number minus the "B" (body) or "C" (chassis) designation.
^ 18 - An identifier used to distinguish between each of the fault PIDs associated with the DTC.
^ OD - Identifies the fault PID as an on-demand fault.
^ CM - Identifies the fault PID as a continuous memory (intermittent) fault.

OCS SYSTEM MODULE
Based on programmed limits, the OCS module will inform the RCM, via a High Speed Controller
Area Network (HS-CAN), of the necessary information. The RCM uses this information in
determining if the passenger air bag module or passenger seat side air bag module is to be
deployed in the event of a deployable collision.
The OCS module monitors the OCS system for faults and communicates on-demand and
continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) via the DLC with the use of a scan tool.
The components that make up the OCS system, OCS system module, inboard OCS rail and
outboard OCS rail are serviced separately.

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

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR
Typical Thread Type ECT Sensor
The ECT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance changes the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The ECT measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The PCM uses the ECT input for fuel
control and for cooling fan control. There are 3 types of ECT sensors, threaded, push-in, and
twist-lock. The ECT sensor is located in an engine coolant passage.

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

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

Deactivator Switch
BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH (BPS) BRAKE DEACTIVATOR SWITCH
The BPS, also called the brake deactivator switch, is for vehicle speed control deactivation. A
normally closed switch supplies battery positive voltage (B+) to the PCM when the brake pedal is
not applied. When the brake pedal is applied, the normally closed switch opens and power is
removed from the PCM.
On some applications the normally closed BPS, along with the normally open BPP switch, are used
for a brake rationality test within the PCM. The PCM misfire monitor profile learn function may be
disabled if a brake switch concern occurs. If one or both brake pedal inputs to the PCM is not
changing states when they were expected to, a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is set by the PCM
strategy.

ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE (EOT) SENSOR
Typical EOT Sensor
The EOT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance changes the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a

total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The EOT sensor measures the temperature of the engine oil. The sensor is typically threaded into
the engine oil lubrication system. The PCM can use the EOT sensor input to determine the
following:
- On variable camshaft timing (VCT) applications the EOT input is used to adjust the VCT control
gains and logic for camshaft timing.
- The PCM can use EOT sensor input in conjunction with other PCM inputs to determine oil
degradation.
- The PCM can use EOT sensor input to initiate a soft engine shutdown. To prevent engine
damage from occurring as a result of high oil temperatures, the PCM has the ability to initiate a soft
engine shutdown. Whenever engine RPM exceeds a calibrated level for a certain period of time,
the PCM begins reducing power by disabling engine cylinders.

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel > Fuel Gauge Sender >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 635
Typical Mechanical Returnless Fuel Pump (FP) Module
The FP module is a device that contains the fuel pump and sender assembly. The fuel pump is
located inside the FP module reservoir and supplies fuel through the FP module manifold to the
engine and FP module jet pump. The jet pump continuously refills the reservoir with fuel, and a
check valve located in the manifold outlet maintains system pressure when the fuel pump is not
energized. A flapper valve located in the bottom of the reservoir allows fuel to enter the reservoir
and prime the fuel pump during the initial fill.
FUEL PUMP (FP) MODULE AND RESERVOIR
The FP module is mounted inside the fuel tank in a reservoir. The pump has a discharge check
valve that maintains the system pressure after the key has been turned off to minimize starting
concerns. The reservoir prevents fuel flow interruptions during extreme vehicle maneuvers with low
tank fill levels.

Digital Transmission Range (TR) Sensor Diagnosis Chart
Wiggle Test Information for Open/Shorts
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all closed in PARK. PARK is a good position to check for
intermittent open circuits (with scan tool monitoring TRD).
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all open in OVERDRIVE, so OVERDRIVE is a good position to
check for shorts to ground. To determine the shorted components while observing TRD, unplug the
TR and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present unplug the transmission
harness and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present, then the short is in the
PCM or vehicle harness. Remove the suspect circuit(s) wire terminal from the PCM connector. If
the short is still present, then the PCM has an internal failure, otherwise the failure is in the vehicle
harness.

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

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR
The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
torque demand. There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APPS1, has a negative
slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APPS2 and APPS3, both have a
positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APPS1 is used as
the indication of pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM
receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern. There are 2 reference voltage circuits and 2
signal return circuits for the sensor.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Air Flow Meter/Sensor > Component Information > Locations > Page 731
Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

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

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR
Typical Thread Type ECT Sensor
The ECT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance changes the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The ECT measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The PCM uses the ECT input for fuel
control and for cooling fan control. There are 3 types of ECT sensors, threaded, push-in, and
twist-lock. The ECT sensor is located in an engine coolant passage.

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

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

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

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

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

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S)
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
The HO2S detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust and produces a variable voltage
according to the amount of oxygen detected. A high concentration of oxygen (lean air/fuel ratio) in
the exhaust produces a voltage signal less than 0.4 volt. A low concentration of oxygen (rich
air/fuel ratio) produces a voltage signal greater than 0.6 volt. The HO2S provides feedback to the
PCM indicating air/fuel ratio in order to achieve a near stoichiometric air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1 during
closed loop engine operation. The HO2S generates a voltage between 0.0 and 1.1 volts.
Embedded with the sensing element is the HO2S heater. The heating element heats the sensor to
a temperature of 800°C (1,472°F). At approximately 300°C (572°F) the engine can enter closed
loop operation. The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater. The PCM turns the heater on by
providing the ground when the correct conditions occur. The heater allows the engine to enter
closed loop operation sooner. The use of this heater requires the HO2S heater control to be duty
cycled, to prevent damage to the heater.

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

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

position signals are required for increased monitoring. The first ETB position sensor signal (TP1)
has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and the second signal (TP2) has a
positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation the negative slope
ETB position sensor signal (TP1) is used by the control strategy as the indication of throttle
position. The 2 ETB position sensor signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.

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

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

Wiggle Test Information for Open/Shorts
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all closed in PARK. PARK is a good position to check for
intermittent open circuits (with scan tool monitoring TRD).
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all open in OVERDRIVE, so OVERDRIVE is a good position to
check for shorts to ground. To determine the shorted components while observing TRD, unplug the
TR and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present unplug the transmission
harness and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present, then the short is in the
PCM or vehicle harness. Remove the suspect circuit(s) wire terminal from the PCM connector. If
the short is still present, then the PCM has an internal failure, otherwise the failure is in the vehicle
harness.

OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED (OSS) SENSOR
The OSS sensor provides the PCM with information about the rotational speed of an output shaft.
The PCM uses the information to control and diagnose powertrain behavior. In some applications,
the sensor is also used as the source of vehicle speed. The sensor may be physically located in
different places on the vehicle, depending upon the specific application. The design of each speed
sensor is unique and depends on which powertrain control feature uses the information that is
generated.

VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR (VSS)
Typical Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The VSS is a variable reluctance or hall-effect sensor that generates a waveform with a frequency
that is proportional to the speed of the vehicle. If the vehicle is moving at a relatively low velocity,
the sensor produces a signal with a low frequency. As the vehicle velocity increases, the sensor
generates a signal with a higher frequency. The PCM uses the frequency signal generated by the
VSS (and other inputs) to control such parameters as fuel injection, ignition control,
transmission/transaxle shift scheduling, and torque converter clutch scheduling.

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

ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR
The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
torque demand. There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APPS1, has a negative
slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APPS2 and APPS3, both have a
positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APPS1 is used as
the indication of pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM
receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern. There are 2 reference voltage circuits and 2
signal return circuits for the sensor.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Air Flow Meter/Sensor > Component Information > Locations > Page 895
Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

Fuel Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
FUEL RAIL PRESSURE (FRP) SENSOR
Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
The FRP sensor is a diaphragm strain gauge device in which resistance changes with pressure.
The electrical resistance of a strain gauge increases as pressure increases, and the resistance
decreases as the pressure decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across the
sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to pressure.
Strain gauge type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The FRP sensor measures the pressure of the fuel near the fuel injectors. This signal is used by
the PCM to adjust the fuel injector pulse width and meter fuel to each engine combustion cylinder.

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

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

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

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY (ETB) POSITION SENSOR
The ETB position sensor has 2 signal circuits in the sensor for redundancy. The redundant ETB
position signals are required for increased monitoring. The first ETB position sensor signal (TP1)
has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and the second signal (TP2) has a
positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation the negative slope
ETB position sensor signal (TP1) is used by the control strategy as the indication of throttle
position. The 2 ETB position sensor signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1
signal has a concern. There is 1 reference voltage circuit and 1 signal return circuit for the sensor.

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

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

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

Seat Belt Buckle Switch: Description and Operation
SAFETY BELT BUCKLE SWITCHES
As part of the SRS, the front safety belt buckles are equipped with safety belt buckle switches. The
safety belt buckle switches are comprised of integrated circuits called Hall-effect sensors. The
safety belt buckle switches (Hall-effect sensors) are located in the driver and front passenger safety
belt buckles. The safety belt buckle switches indicate to the RCM whether the safety belts are
buckled or unbuckled. The RCM uses this information in determining the deployment rate of the
dual-stage driver and passenger air bag modules. The RCM also communicates the driver safety
belt buckle switch status to the instrument cluster module, which monitors the information to control
the safety belt warning indicator.

SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR
The seat track position sensor is a Hall-effect sensor located on the driver seat track. The seat
track position sensor informs the RCM of the driver seat position. Based on programmed limits, the
seat track position sensor will inform the RCM of the driver seat position. The RCM uses this
information in determining the deployment rate of the dual-stage driver air bag module.

Seat Occupant Sensor: Description and Operation OCS System
OCS System
The OCS system is found only on the front passenger seat. The front passenger OCS system is
comprised of the following: 2 OCS rails (weight sensors) that are mounted to each side of the seat
track; an OCS module (electronic control unit) which is mounted to the electrical bracket
underneath the seat cushion pan. The weight of any occupant or object on the front passenger seat
is electronically communicated to the OCS module.
The OCS system is also used for operation of the passenger Belt Minder. To deactivate or
reactivate the passenger Belt Minder feature, refer to Seat Belt Systems or the owner's literature.
The components that make up the OCS system, OCS module, inboard OCS rail and outboard OCS
rail are serviced separately.
When the front passenger seat is removed for service, the Zero Seat Weight Test must be carried
out after the installation of the front passenger seat. When a OCS system component is installed
new, the System Reset must be carried out after the installation of the front passenger seat. The
Zero Seat Weight Test and/or System Reset must be carried out only as instructed to do so.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

> Component Information > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1094
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

> Component Information > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1095
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Starting and Charging > Neutral Safety Switch
> Component Information > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1096
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training
Special Tool(s)
NOTE: If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will go into a "sleep
mode" to conserve battery power. It will be necessary to wake them up so they will transmit the
latest tire pressure information to the Smart Junction Box (SJB).
NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle, in an area
without radio frequency noise and at least 1 m (3 ft) away from other vehicles equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
Radio frequency noise is generated by electrical motors and appliance operation, cellular
telephones, remote transmitters, power inverters and portable entertainment equipment.
NOTE: If a sensor does not respond to the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool, attempt to
activate the same sensor with the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool. If the sensor still does not
respond, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at least one-fourth of a turn and attempt to activate
the same sensor again.
NOTE: The SJB has a 2-minute time limit between sensor responses. If the SJB does not
recognize any 1 of the 4 tire pressure sensors during this time limit, the horn will sound twice and
the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT and the entire
procedure must be repeated.
NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as the E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the
sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate. For vehicles with the same tire pressure for
front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the system.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, then press and release the brake pedal. 2. Cycle the
ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position. 3.
Press and release the brake pedal. 4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 5. Turn the
ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position.
- The horn will sound once and the TPMS indicator will flash if the training mode has been entered
successfully. If equipped, the message center will display TRAIN LF TIRE.
NOTE: It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this time, the Tire
Pressure Monitor Activation Tool must remain in place 180 degrees from the valve stem.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Steering and Suspension > Sensors and
Switches - Wheels and Tires > Tire Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Page 1141
6. Place the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool on the LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees)
from the valve stem. Press and release the test
button on the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the
tire pressure sensor has been recognized by the SJB.
7. Within 2 minutes of the horn sounding, place the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool on the RF
tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the
valve stem and press and release the test button to train the RF tire pressure sensor.
NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between training each sensor or the SJB will time out and
the entire procedure must be repeated.
8. Repeat Step 7 for the RR and LR tires.
The procedure is completed after the last tire has been trained. When the training procedure is
complete, the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE. For vehicles
not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure will be
verified by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position without the horn sounding. If the horn
sounds twice when the switch is turned to the OFF position, the training procedure was not
successful.
9. Using the scan tool, locate the updated TPMS sensor identifiers trained to the SJB and
document them on the applicable warranty claim.
NOTE: This step is required to clear DTC C2780, cause the SJB to exit the manufacturing mode
and to make sure there are no other concerns with a newly programmed SJB.
10. If the sensors are being trained due to the installation of a new SJB, clear any DTCs and carry
out the SJB On-Demand Self Test.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

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

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

Overdrive Switch: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

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

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.

Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.

Wiggle Test Information for Open/Shorts
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all closed in PARK. PARK is a good position to check for
intermittent open circuits (with scan tool monitoring TRD).
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all open in OVERDRIVE, so OVERDRIVE is a good position to
check for shorts to ground. To determine the shorted components while observing TRD, unplug the
TR and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present unplug the transmission
harness and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present, then the short is in the
PCM or vehicle harness. Remove the suspect circuit(s) wire terminal from the PCM connector. If
the short is still present, then the PCM has an internal failure, otherwise the failure is in the vehicle
harness.

Transmission Speed Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Switches - A/T > Transmission Speed Sensor, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 1281
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Switches - A/T > Transmission Speed Sensor, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 1282
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Switches - A/T > Transmission Speed Sensor, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 1283
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Information and Instructions > Page 1318
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Switches - A/T > Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1319
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Switches - A/T > Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1320
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

Alignment: Description and Operation
Suspension System
The front camber and caster are adjusted by loosening the upper control arm bolts which will allow
the upper arm to be moved in the slotted frame holes. The LF caster can be adjusted by loosening
the lower control arm rearward nut to allow the lower arm to be moved in the slotted frame hole.
Front toe is adjusted by the use of the front wheel spindle tie rods. The rear camber is adjusted by
replacing the upper arm inboard flag nut with a non-flag nut to allow the arm to be adjusted in the
slotted frame holes. The rear toe is adjusted through the use of the rear toe link cam bolt.
Camber
Negative and Positive Camber
Camber is the vertical tilt of the wheel when viewed from the front. Camber can be positive or
negative and has a direct effect on tire wear.
Caster
Caster
Caster is the deviation from vertical of an imaginary line drawn through the ball joints when viewed
from the side. The caster specifications will give the vehicle the best directional stability
characteristics when loaded and driven. The caster setting is not related to tire wear.
Toe

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 1392
Positive Toe (Toe In)
Negative Toe (Toe Out)
The vehicle toe setting: ^
affects tire wear and directional stability.
^ must be checked after adding aftermarket equipment, such as a snowplow.
Ride Height

Rear Ride Height Measurement
Thrust Angle (Dogtracking)
Thrust Angle (Dogtracking)
Thrust angle (also known as dogtracking) is the condition in which the rear axle is not square to the
chassis. Heavily crowned roads can give the illusion of incorrect thrust angle.
Wander
Wander is the tendency of the vehicle to require frequent, random left and right steering wheel
corrections to maintain a straight path down a level road.
Shimmy
Shimmy, as observed by the driver, is large, consistent, rotational oscillations of the steering wheel
resulting from large, side-to-side (lateral) tire/wheel movements.
Shimmy is usually experienced near 64 km/h (40 mph), and can begin or be amplified when the tire
contacts pot holes or irregularities in the road surface.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 1394
Nibble
Sometimes confused with shimmy, nibble is a condition resulting from tire interaction with various
road surfaces and observed by the driver as small rotational oscillations of the steering wheel.
Poor Returnability/Sticky Steering
Poor returnability and sticky steering is used to describe the poor return of the steering wheel to
center after a turn or the steering correction is completed.
Drift/Pull
Pull is a tugging sensation, felt by the hands on the steering wheel, that must be overcome to keep
the vehicle going straight.
Drift describes what a vehicle with this condition does with hands off the steering wheel. ^
A vehicle-related drift/pull, on a flat road, will cause a consistent deviation from the straight-ahead
path and require constant steering input in the opposite direction to counteract the effect.
^ Drift/pull may be induced by conditions external to the vehicle, such as wind or road camber.

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection
Spark Plug Inspection
1. Inspect the spark plug for a bridged gap.
^ Check for deposit build-up closing the gap between the electrodes. Deposits are caused by oil or
carbon fouling.
^ Clean the spark plug.
2. Check for oil fouling.
^ Check for wet, black deposits on the insulator shell bore electrodes, caused by excessive oil
entering the combustion chamber through worn rings and pistons, excessive valve-to-guide
clearance or worn or loose bearings.
^ Correct the oil leak concern.
^ Install a new spark plug.
3. Inspect for carbon fouling. Look for black, dry, fluffy carbon deposits on the insulator tips,
exposed shell surfaces and electrodes, caused by a
spark plug with an incorrect heat range, dirty air cleaner, too rich a fuel mixture or excessive idling.
^
Clean the spark plug.
4. Inspect for normal burning.
^ Check for light tan or gray deposits on the firing tip.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks > Spark Plug > Component
Information > Specifications > Page 1435
5. Inspect for pre-ignition, identified by melted electrodes and a possibly damaged insulator.
Metallic deposits on the insulator indicate engine
damage. This may be caused by incorrect ignition timing, wrong type of fuel or the unauthorized
installation of a heli-coil insert in place of the spark plug threads. ^
Install a new spark plug.
6. Inspect for overheating, identified by white or light gray spots and with bluish-burnt appearance
of electrodes. This is caused by engine
overheating, wrong type of fuel, loose spark plugs, spark plugs with an incorrect heat range, low
fuel pump pressure or incorrect ignition timing. ^
Install a new spark plug.
7. Inspect for fused deposits, identified by melted or spotty deposits resembling bubbles or blisters.
These are caused by sudden acceleration.
^ Clean the spark plug.

1. Make sure the oil in the crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at the correct level and that the
battery is correctly charged. Operate the vehicle
until the engine is at normal operating temperature. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position,
then remove all the spark plugs.
2. Set the throttle plates in the wide-open position. 3. Install a compression gauge such as the
Compression Tester in the No. 1 cylinder. 4. Install an auxiliary starter switch in the starting circuit.
With the ignition switch in the OFF position, and using the auxiliary starter switch, crank
the engine a minimum of 5 compression strokes and record the highest reading. Note the
approximate number of compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
5. Repeat the test on each cylinder, cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.

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

Drive Belt: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
Drive Belt - Noise/Flutter
Drive Belt - Noise/Flutter Drive belt chirp occurs due to pulley misalignment or excessive pulley
runout. It can be the result of a damaged or incorrectly aligned grooved pulley.
To correct, determine the area where the noise comes from. Check each of the pulleys in that area
with a straightedge to the crankshaft pulley. Look for accessory pulleys out of position in the fore/aft
direction or at an angle to the straightedge.
CAUTION: Do not apply any fluids or belt dressing to the accessory drive belt or pulleys.
Drive belt squeal may be an intermittent or constant noise that occurs when the drive belt slips on
an accessory pulley under certain conditions.
A short intermittent squeal may occur during engine start-up and shut down or during very rapid
engine acceleration and decelerations, such as:
^ wide open throttle 1-2 and 2-3 shifts or 2-3 and 3-4 back out shifts on automatic transmissions.
^ wide open throttle 1-2 and 2-3 shifts and any combination of rapid downshifting on manual
transmissions.
These special short-term transient events are expected, and are due to the higher system inertias
required to meet the electrical and cooling demands on today's vehicle systems. Constant or
reoccurring drive belt squeal can occur:
^ if the A/C discharge pressure goes above specifications:
^ the A/C system is overcharged.
^ the A/C condenser core airflow is blocked.
^ if the A/C off equalized pressure (the common discharged and suction pressure that occurs after
several minutes) exceeds specifications.
^ if any of the accessories are damaged or have a worn or damaged bearing. All accessories
should be rotatable by hand in the unloaded condition. If not, inspect the accessory.
^ if there is evidence of fluid contamination on the accessory drive belt. When the drive belt has
been exposed to fluid contamination during vehicle operation, such as leaks from the power
steering system, A/C system or cooling system, clean all pulleys with soap and water, rinse with
clean water and install a new accessory drive belt. If the drive belt has been exposed to fluids in a
localized area during routine vehicle service, such as replacement of hoses or fluids, the drive belt
and pulleys should be washed with soap and water immediately (prior to starting the engine), and
rinsed with clean water.
^ if the accessory drive belt is too long. A drive belt that is too long will allow the accessory drive
belt tensioner arm to go all the way to the arm travel stop under certain load conditions, which will
release tension to the drive belt. If the accessory drive belt tensioner indicator is outside the normal
installation wear range window, install a new accessory drive belt.
^ NOTE: The accessory drive belt tensioner arm should rotate freely without binding.
Install a new accessory drive belt tensioner if the drive belt tensioner is worn or damaged.
Drive Belt - Incorrect Installation
Drive Belt - Incorrect Installation
CAUTION: Incorrect accessory drive belt installation will cause excessive drive belt wear and can
cause the drive belt to come off the pulleys.
Non-standard accessory drive belts can track differently or incorrectly. If an accessory drive belt
tracks incorrectly, install a new accessory drive belt to avoid performance failure or loss of the drive
belt.

Correct Installation
Correct Installation
With the engine running, check accessory drive belt tracking on all pulleys. If the edge of the
accessory drive belt rides beyond the edge of the pulleys, noise and premature wear will occur.
Make sure the accessory drive belt rides correctly on the pulley. If an accessory drive belt tracking
condition exists, proceed with the following:
^ Visually check the accessory drive belt tensioner for damage, especially the mounting pad
surface. If the accessory drive belt tensioner is not installed correctly, the mounting surface pad will
be out of position. This will result in chirp and squeal noises.
^ With the engine running, visually observe the grooves in the pulleys (not the pulley flanges or the
pulley forward faces) for excessive wobble. Install new components as necessary.
^ Check all accessories, mounting brackets and the accessory drive belt tensioner for any
interference that would prevent the component from mounting correctly. Correct any interference
condition and recheck the accessory drive belt tracking.
^ Tighten all accessories, mounting brackets and accessory drive belt tensioner retaining hardware
to specification. Recheck the accessory drive belt tracking.
Belt Tensioner - Mechanical
Belt Tensioner - Mechanical The only mechanical check that needs to be made is a check for
tensioner stick, grab or bind.
1. With the engine off, check routing of the accessory drive belt. Refer to the illustrations under
Description and Operation.
2. NOTE: The accessory drive belt tensioner spring is very strong and requires substantial force to
release.
Using a suitable, commercially available serpentine belt tensioner release tool, release the tension
on the belt and detach the accessory drive belt in the area of the tensioner.
3. Using a suitable, commercially available serpentine belt tensioner release tool, move the
tensioner from its relaxed position, through its full stroke
and back to the relaxed position to make sure there is no stick, grab or bind, and to make sure that
there is tension on the tensioner spring.
4. Rotate the tensioner pulley by hand and check for a binding, contaminated or seized condition.
Install a new accessory drive belt tensioner if
necessary.
5. Inspect the area surrounding the accessory drive belt tensioner for oil leaks or contamination
and repair any leaks. Install a new accessory drive
belt tensioner as necessary.
6. If the accessory drive belt tensioner meets the above criteria, proceed to testing the tensioner
dynamically. If the accessory drive belt tensioner
does not meet the above criteria, install a new tensioner.
Belt Tensioner - Dynamics
Belt Tensioner - Dynamics The accessory drive belt tensioner can be checked dynamically as
follows:
1. With the engine running, observe the accessory drive belt tensioner movement. The accessory
drive tensioner should move (respond) when the air
conditioning clutch cycles (if equipped), or when the engine is accelerated rapidly. If the accessory
drive belt tensioner movement is excessive without air conditioning clutch cycling or engine
acceleration, check belt rideout. Excessive belt rideout (uneven depth of grooves in the belt) can
cause excessive accessory drive belt tensioner movement. Check rideout condition by installing a
new belt. If excessive accessory drive belt tensioner movement still exists, install a new accessory
drive belt tensioner.

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

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

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

CAUTION: Whenever a transmission has been disassembled to install new parts or a new or
remanufactured transmission has been installed, a new transmission fluid cooler, either in-tank,
auxiliary or oil to air (OTA), if equipped will need to be installed. Using a suitable torque
converter/fluid cooler cleaner, clean and backflush the transmission fluid cooler tubes.
CAUTION: Do not use water-based cleaners, mineral spirits, brake cleaner or solvents that may
contain acetone, xylene or heptane to clean and/or flush the transmission assembly, transmission
components and the torque converter or transmission damage will occur. Use only clean
transmission fluid designated for the transmission/converter being serviced.
When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transmission, metal particles, clutch plate
material or band material may have been carried into the transmission fluid cooler. These
contaminants are a major cause of recurring transmission concerns and must be removed from the
system before the transmission is put back in use.
1. Conduct backflushing with a suitable torque converter/transmission fluid cooler cleaner. Test the
equipment to make sure that a vigorous fluid
flow is present before proceeding. Install a new system filter if flow is weak or contaminated.
2. Remove and discard the in-line transmission fluid filter, if equipped.
3. To aid in attaching the cleaner to the transmission steel cooler lines, connect 2 additional rubber
hoses to the transmission end of the steel
transmission cooler lines as described. ^
Connect the cleaner tank pressure line to the steel transmission cooler return line (longest line).
^ Connect a tank return hose to the steel transmission cooler pressure line (shorter line). Place the
outlet end of this hose in the solvent tank reservoir.
4. Turn on the pump and allow the transmission fluid to circulate a minimum of 5 minutes (cycling
switch on and off will help dislodge
contaminants in the cooler system).
5. Switch off the pump and disconnect the pressure hose from the transmission cooler return line.
6. Use compressed air to blow out the cooler(s) and lines (blow air into the transmission cooler
return line) until all the fluid is removed. 7. Remove the rubber return hose from the remaining steel
cooler line.

Observe the vacuum gauge for 30 seconds. If the vacuum gauge reading drops more than 3 kPa
(0.88 in-Hg) a leak is present. 7. Remove the vacuum pump.
8. CAUTION: Do not hold the steering wheel at the stops for more than 3-5 seconds. Damage to
the power steering pump can occur.
Start the engine. With the engine at idle, raise the power steering fluid temperature to 74 - 80°C
(165 - 176°F) by rotating the steering wheel fully to the left and right several times.
9. Visually inspect the system for leaks. If a leak is evident, repair as necessary. If a leak is not
evident, add the specified UV fluorescent tracer dye
to the power steering fluid. Use 14.78 mL (1/2 oz) of dye solution for every 1.89 L (2 qt) of power
steering fluid.
10. CAUTION: Do not hold the steering wheel at the stops for more than 3-5 seconds. Damage to
the power steering pump can occur.
Start the engine. With the engine at idle, raise the power steering fluid temperature to 74 - 80°C
(165 - 176°F) by rotating the steering wheel fully to the left and right several times.
11. NOTE: On vehicles with rack and pinion steering gear, it may be necessary to remove the
bellows boot clamp from the steering gear bellows

Refrigerant: Description and Operation
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM DYE
Fluorescent refrigerant system dye is added to the refrigerant system at the factory to assist in
refrigerant system leak diagnosis using a Rotunda-approved ultraviolet blacklight. It is not
necessary to add additional dye to the refrigerant system before diagnosing leaks, even if a
significant amount of refrigerant has been removed from the system. Replacement suction
accumulators are shipped with a fluorescent dye "wafer" included in the desiccant bag which will
dissolve after approximately 30 minutes of continued A/C operation. It is not necessary to add dye
after flushing or filtering the refrigerant system because a new suction accumulator is installed as
part of the flushing or filtering procedure. Additional refrigerant system dye should only be added if
more than 50% of the refrigerant system lubricant capacity has been lost due to a fitting separation,
hose rupture or other damage.

Master Cylinder Bleeding
WARNING: Carefully read cautionary information on product label. For EMERGENCY MEDICAL
INFORMATION seek medical advice. In the USA or Canada on Ford/Motorcraft products call:
1-800-959-3673. For additional information, consult the product Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) if available. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
CAUTION: Do not allow the brake master cylinder reservoir to run dry during the bleeding
operation. Keep the brake master cylinder reservoir filled with the specified brake fluid. Never reuse
brake fluid that has been drained from the hydraulic system.
CAUTION: Brake fluid is harmful to painted and plastic surfaces. If brake fluid is spilled onto a
painted or plastic surface, immediately wash it with water.
NOTE: When any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for repair or new installation,
air may get into the system and cause spongy brake pedal feel. This requires bleeding of the
hydraulic system after it has been correctly connected. The hydraulic system can be gravity bled,
manually bled or bled using pressure bleeding equipment.
1. NOTE: When a new brake master cylinder has been installed or the system has been emptied or
partially emptied, it should be primed to prevent
air from getting into the system.
Disconnect the brake master cylinder tubes.
2. NOTE: Original equipment tubes are not intended to be used during this procedure.
Install the 2 short brake tubes with the ends submerged in the brake master cylinder reservoir and
fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with clean, specified brake fluid.

3. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal until clear fluid flows from both brake tubes without air
bubbles. 4. Remove the 2 short brake tubes and install the 2 master cylinder brake tubes. 5. Bleed
each brake tube at the brake master cylinder as follows:
1 Have an assistant pump the brake pedal and then hold firm pressure on the brake pedal.
2 Loosen the rear brake tube fitting until a stream of brake fluid comes out. Have an assistant
maintain pressure on the brake pedal while tightening the brake tube fitting.
3 Repeat this operation until clear, bubble-free fluid comes out.
4 Refill the brake master cylinder reservoir as necessary. Repeat the bleeding operation at the front
brake tube.
6. While the assistant maintains pressure on the brake pedal, tighten the master cylinder brake
tubes.
^ Tighten to 18 Nm (13 ft. lbs.).
Brake Caliper Bleeding
NOTE: It is not necessary to bleed the entire brake system. It is possible to bleed only the opened
part of the system.
1. Connect one end of a clear flexible hose to the bleeder screw. Submerge the other end in a
container partially filled with clean, specified brake
fluid.
2. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal and then hold firm pressure on the brake pedal. 3.
Open the caliper bleeder screw until brake fluid flows into the container. 4. When fluid stops
flowing, close the bleeder screw.
^ Tighten to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.) for the front brake bleeder screw and 22 Nm (16 ft. lbs.) for the
rear brake bleeder screw.
5. Repeat the previous 3 steps until there are no air bubbles in the brake fluid.

Depowering Procedure
WARNING:
- Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS)
vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an
accidental deployment.
- Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment,
which can result in personal injury.
- Never probe the electrical connector on a safety canopy module. Doing so can result in safety
canopy deployment.
- Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control
module (RCM) while the RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in the inadvertent deployment of the safety canopy and risk of personal
injury.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
NOTE:
- If a seat equipped with a SRS component is being serviced, the SRS must be depowered.
- The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is
ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
1. Turn all vehicle accessories OFF. 2. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. 3. At the smart junction box
(SJB), located below the LH side of the instrument panel, remove the cover and the restraints
control module (RCM)
fuse 17 (10A) from the SJB.
4. Turn the ignition ON and visually monitor the air bag indicator for at least 30 seconds. The air
bag indicator will remain lit continuously (no
flashing) if the correct RCM fuse has been removed. If the air bag indicator does not remain lit
continuously, remove the correct RCM fuse before proceeding.
5. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
6. WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power
supply must be depleted before repairing
or installing any front or side air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) components and before
servicing, installing, adjusting or striking components near the front or side air bag sensors, such as
doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and hood latches.
The front impact severity sensors are located on the radiator support bracket above the lower front
splash shield.
The front door side impact sensors are located in the first row doors, behind the door trim panel.
The C-pillar side impact sensors (if equipped) are located on the C-pillar.
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least
one minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).
Disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute.

have been removed from the vehicle and all SRS components are connected.
2. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON. 3. Install RCM fuse 17 (10A) to the SJB and close the
cover.
4. WARNING: Be sure that nobody is in the vehicle and that there is nothing blocking or set in front
of any air bag module when the
battery ground cable is connected.
Connect the battery ground cable.
5. Prove out the SRS as follows:
Turn the ignition switch from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition switch back to ON
and visually monitor the air bag indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag indicator
will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS fault is
present, the air bag indicator will: fail to light.
- remain lit continuously.
- flash at a 5 Hz rate (RCM not configured).
The air bag indicator might not light until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has
been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the
testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime will sound
in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag indicator and any SRS fault discovered
must be diagnosed and repaired.
Clear all continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the RCM and occupant classification
sensor (OCS) module using a scan tool.

Fuse: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting

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

Fuse Block: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1696
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1697
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1698
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

TPMS Indicator and Message Center Messages
The TPMS indicator and vehicle message center (if equipped) sometimes displays faults that
cannot be resolved by the customer. Treat these messages as TPMS faults that must be serviced.
TPMS Indicator Illuminates Continuously
NOTE: If the spare tire is in use, the damaged road tire must be repaired and installed on the
vehicle to restore complete TPMS functionality before carrying out any diagnosis.
1. The TPMS indicator remains on continuously for this condition:
^ Low Tire Pressure - The TPMS indicator is illuminated solid and the message center displays
LOW TIRE PRESSURE (if equipped). This is displayed when any of the tire pressures are low.
When this condition exists, the tire pressure must be adjusted to the recommended cold pressure
as indicated on the vehicle certification label.
2. NOTE: The TPMS sensors do not transmit when the vehicle is stationary. If the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 30 minutes, it will be
necessary to wake up the sensors so they will transmit the latest tire pressure information to the
SJB.
If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, carry out this procedure to wake up the
TPMS sensors. 1
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2 Adjust the air pressure in the LF tire.
3 Activate the LF TPMS sensor, at least 2 times, using the tire pressure monitor activation tool.
4 Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the remaining tires.
5 If the TPMS indicator remains illuminated after adjusting and activating each sensor, GO to
Symptom Chart. See: Wheels and Tires/Tire Monitoring System/Testing and Inspection/Symptom
Related Diagnostic Procedures
TPMS Indicator Flashes
The TPMS indicator flashes for 70 seconds and then remains ON solid when the ignition key is
turned to the ON position for these conditions: 1. Tire Pressure Sensor Fault - If equipped, the
message center will display TIRE SENSOR FAULT when a tire pressure sensor is malfunctioning.
GO to Symptom Chart. See: Wheels and Tires/Tire Monitoring System/Testing and
Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
2. No communication with the SJB (TPMS is integral to the SJB) - The TPMS indicator is
illuminated when the instrument cluster has received no
signals from the SJB for more than 5 seconds. If equipped, the message center displays TIRE
MONITOR FAULT. GO to Symptom Chart. See: Wheels and Tires/Tire Monitoring System/Testing
and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
3. Tire Pressure Monitor Fault - If equipped, the message center will display TIRE MONITOR

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training
Special Tool(s)
NOTE: If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will go into a "sleep
mode" to conserve battery power. It will be necessary to wake them up so they will transmit the
latest tire pressure information to the Smart Junction Box (SJB).
NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle, in an area
without radio frequency noise and at least 1 m (3 ft) away from other vehicles equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
Radio frequency noise is generated by electrical motors and appliance operation, cellular
telephones, remote transmitters, power inverters and portable entertainment equipment.
NOTE: If a sensor does not respond to the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool, attempt to
activate the same sensor with the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool. If the sensor still does not
respond, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at least one-fourth of a turn and attempt to activate
the same sensor again.
NOTE: The SJB has a 2-minute time limit between sensor responses. If the SJB does not
recognize any 1 of the 4 tire pressure sensors during this time limit, the horn will sound twice and
the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT and the entire
procedure must be repeated.
NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as the E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the
sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate. For vehicles with the same tire pressure for
front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the system.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, then press and release the brake pedal. 2. Cycle the
ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position. 3.
Press and release the brake pedal. 4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 5. Turn the
ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position.
- The horn will sound once and the TPMS indicator will flash if the training mode has been entered
successfully. If equipped, the message center will display TRAIN LF TIRE.
NOTE: It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this time, the Tire
Pressure Monitor Activation Tool must remain in place 180 degrees from the valve stem.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Sensors and Switches - Wheels and Tires > Tire Pressure
Sensor > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Page 1786
6. Place the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool on the LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees)
from the valve stem. Press and release the test
button on the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the
tire pressure sensor has been recognized by the SJB.
7. Within 2 minutes of the horn sounding, place the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool on the RF
tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the
valve stem and press and release the test button to train the RF tire pressure sensor.
NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between training each sensor or the SJB will time out and
the entire procedure must be repeated.
8. Repeat Step 7 for the RR and LR tires.
The procedure is completed after the last tire has been trained. When the training procedure is
complete, the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE. For vehicles
not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure will be
verified by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position without the horn sounding. If the horn
sounds twice when the switch is turned to the OFF position, the training procedure was not
successful.
9. Using the scan tool, locate the updated TPMS sensor identifiers trained to the SJB and
document them on the applicable warranty claim.
NOTE: This step is required to clear DTC C2780, cause the SJB to exit the manufacturing mode
and to make sure there are no other concerns with a newly programmed SJB.
10. If the sensors are being trained due to the installation of a new SJB, clear any DTCs and carry
out the SJB On-Demand Self Test.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Testing and Inspection
TPMS Indicator and Message Center Messages
The TPMS indicator and vehicle message center (if equipped) sometimes displays faults that
cannot be resolved by the customer. Treat these messages as TPMS faults that must be serviced.
TPMS Indicator Illuminates Continuously
NOTE: If the spare tire is in use, the damaged road tire must be repaired and installed on the
vehicle to restore complete TPMS functionality before carrying out any diagnosis.
1. The TPMS indicator remains on continuously for this condition:
^ Low Tire Pressure - The TPMS indicator is illuminated solid and the message center displays
LOW TIRE PRESSURE (if equipped). This is displayed when any of the tire pressures are low.
When this condition exists, the tire pressure must be adjusted to the recommended cold pressure
as indicated on the vehicle certification label.
2. NOTE: The TPMS sensors do not transmit when the vehicle is stationary. If the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 30 minutes, it will be
necessary to wake up the sensors so they will transmit the latest tire pressure information to the
SJB.
If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, carry out this procedure to wake up the
TPMS sensors. 1
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2 Adjust the air pressure in the LF tire.
3 Activate the LF TPMS sensor, at least 2 times, using the tire pressure monitor activation tool.
4 Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the remaining tires.
5 If the TPMS indicator remains illuminated after adjusting and activating each sensor, GO to
Symptom Chart. See: Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
TPMS Indicator Flashes
The TPMS indicator flashes for 70 seconds and then remains ON solid when the ignition key is
turned to the ON position for these conditions: 1. Tire Pressure Sensor Fault - If equipped, the
message center will display TIRE SENSOR FAULT when a tire pressure sensor is malfunctioning.
GO to Symptom Chart. See: Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
2. No communication with the SJB (TPMS is integral to the SJB) - The TPMS indicator is
illuminated when the instrument cluster has received no
signals from the SJB for more than 5 seconds. If equipped, the message center displays TIRE
MONITOR FAULT. GO to Symptom Chart. See: Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related
Diagnostic Procedures
3. Tire Pressure Monitor Fault - If equipped, the message center will display TIRE MONITOR
FAULT when the tire pressure monitoring system is
malfunctioning or communication with the instrument cluster has been lost. GO to Symptom Chart.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training
Special Tool(s)
NOTE: If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will go into a "sleep
mode" to conserve battery power. It will be necessary to wake them up so they will transmit the
latest tire pressure information to the Smart Junction Box (SJB).
NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle, in an area
without radio frequency noise and at least 1 m (3 ft) away from other vehicles equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
Radio frequency noise is generated by electrical motors and appliance operation, cellular
telephones, remote transmitters, power inverters and portable entertainment equipment.
NOTE: If a sensor does not respond to the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool, attempt to
activate the same sensor with the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool. If the sensor still does not
respond, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at least one-fourth of a turn and attempt to activate
the same sensor again.
NOTE: The SJB has a 2-minute time limit between sensor responses. If the SJB does not
recognize any 1 of the 4 tire pressure sensors during this time limit, the horn will sound twice and
the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT and the entire
procedure must be repeated.
NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as the E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the
sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate. For vehicles with the same tire pressure for
front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the system.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, then press and release the brake pedal. 2. Cycle the
ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position. 3.
Press and release the brake pedal. 4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 5. Turn the
ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position.
- The horn will sound once and the TPMS indicator will flash if the training mode has been entered
successfully. If equipped, the message center will display TRAIN LF TIRE.
NOTE: It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this time, the Tire
Pressure Monitor Activation Tool must remain in place 180 degrees from the valve stem.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tire Monitoring System > Tire Pressure Sensor >
Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Page 1802
6. Place the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool on the LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees)
from the valve stem. Press and release the test
button on the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the
tire pressure sensor has been recognized by the SJB.
7. Within 2 minutes of the horn sounding, place the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool on the RF
tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the
valve stem and press and release the test button to train the RF tire pressure sensor.
NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between training each sensor or the SJB will time out and
the entire procedure must be repeated.
8. Repeat Step 7 for the RR and LR tires.
The procedure is completed after the last tire has been trained. When the training procedure is
complete, the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE. For vehicles
not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure will be
verified by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position without the horn sounding. If the horn
sounds twice when the switch is turned to the OFF position, the training procedure was not
successful.
9. Using the scan tool, locate the updated TPMS sensor identifiers trained to the SJB and
document them on the applicable warranty claim.
NOTE: This step is required to clear DTC C2780, cause the SJB to exit the manufacturing mode
and to make sure there are no other concerns with a newly programmed SJB.
10. If the sensors are being trained due to the installation of a new SJB, clear any DTCs and carry
out the SJB On-Demand Self Test.

Inspection and Verification
Certain axle and driveline symptoms are also common to the engine, transmission, wheel bearings,
tires and other parts of the vehicle. For this reason, be sure that the cause of the concern is in the
axle before disassembling, adjusting or repairing the axle. Refer to Vehicle/Testing and Inspection.
Certain driveshaft vibration symptoms are common to the front engine accessory drive (FEAD), the
engine, transmission or tires. Be sure the cause of the concern is the driveshaft before repairing or
installing a new driveshaft. Refer to Vehicle/Testing and Inspection.
Noise Acceptability
A gear-driven unit will produce a certain amount of noise. Some noise is acceptable and audible at
certain speeds or under various driving conditions, such as a newly paved blacktop road. Slight
noise is not detrimental to the operation of the axle and is considered normal.
Universal Joint (U-Joint) Inspection
Place the vehicle on a frame hoist and rotate the driveshaft by hand. Check for rough operation or
seized U-joints. Install a new U-joint if it shows signs of seizure, excessive wear or incorrect
seating.
Analysis of Leakage
Clean up the leaking area enough to identify the exact source. An axle leak can be caused by: ^
Axle lubricant level is too high
^ Worn or damaged axle shaft seals or differential seals
^ Differential housing is cracked
^ Flange yoke seal is worn or damaged
^ Pinion flange is scored or damaged
^ Axle cover is not sealed
^ Vent is plugged
Repair the axle as necessary. Make sure the axle lubricant is at the correct level.
Axle Vent
NOTE: If a plugged vent cannot be cleared, install a new vent.
NOTE: If the vent is removed from the housing for any reason, a new vent must be installed.
A plugged vent will cause excessive seal lip wear due to internal pressure buildup. If a leak occurs,
check the vent. Make sure the vent hose is not kinked. Remove the hose from the vent nipple and
clear the hose of any foreign material. While the hose is removed, pass a length of mechanic's wire
or a small diameter Allen wrench in and out of the vent to clean it. Connect the hose when done.
Flange Yoke Seal
Leaks at the axle drive pinion seal originate for these reasons: ^
The seal is not correctly installed
^ A poor quality seal journal surface
Any damage to the seal bore (dings, dents, gouges or other imperfections) will distort the seal
casing and allow leakage past the outer edge of the axle drive pinion seal.
The axle drive pinion seal can be torn, cut or gouged if it is not installed carefully. The spring that
holds the axle drive pinion seal against the pinion flange can be knocked out, which can allow
leakage past the lip.
The rubber lips can occasionally become hard (like plastic) with cracks at the oil lip contact point.
The contact point on the pinion flange may blacken, indicating excessive heat. Marks, nicks,
gouges or rough surface texture on the seal journal of the pinion flange will also cause leaks.
A new pinion flange must be installed if any of these conditions exist.
Metal chips or sand trapped at the sealing lip can also cause oil leaks. This can cause a wear
groove on the pinion flange and heavy pinion seal wear.
When a seal leak occurs, install a new seal and check the vent and the vent hose to make sure
they are clean and free of foreign material.
Analysis of Vibration
WARNING: An all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicle will always have all wheels (on both axles) driving. If
only one wheel/axle is raised off the floor and the axle is driven by the engine, the wheel/axle on
the floor could drive the vehicle off the stand or jack. Be sure all wheels are off the floor.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Hub > Component Information > Testing and
Inspection > Driveline System > Page 1871
Few vibration conditions are caused by the front or rear axle. For a vibration concern, follow the
diagnosis procedure in Vehicle/Testing and Inspection unless there is a good reason to suspect the
axle.
Tires
WARNING: Do not balance the wheels and tires while they are mounted on the vehicle. Possible
tire disintegration or differential failure could result, causing personal injury or extensive component
damage. Use an off-vehicle wheel and tire balancer only.
Most vibration is caused by tires, driveline angle or driveline imbalance.
Vibration is a concern with modern, high-mileage tires if they are not "true" both radially and
laterally. They are more susceptible to vibration around the limits of radial and lateral runout of the
tire and wheel assembly. They also require more accurate balancing. Wheel and tire runout
checks, truing and balancing are normally done before axle inspection.
Driveline Imbalance
Driveline imbalance can be caused by excessive looseness in the driveshaft, damaged driveshaft
tubing, looseness or high runout at the driveshaft attachments (axle and transfer case flanges).
Excessive looseness in the driveshaft can be caused by CV joint or universal joint wear, as well as
loose fitting slip-yoke splines. Inspect and install new driveshaft components as necessary.
Driveline Angle
Driveline Angle
Driveline angularity is the angular relationship between the engine crankshaft, the driveshaft and
the rear axle pinion. Some of the factors determining driveline angularity include ride height, rear
spring and engine mounts.
An incorrect driveline (pinion) angle can often be detected by examining the driving condition in
which the vibration occurs. ^
A vibration during coastdown, from 72 to 56 km/h (45 to 35 mph), is often caused by an excessive
U-joint angle at the axle (pinion nose downward).
^ A vibration during acceleration, from 56 to 72 km/h (35 to 45 mph), may indicate an excessive
U-joint angle at the axle (pinion nose upward).
When these conditions exist, check the driveline angles.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Hub > Component Information > Testing and
Inspection > Driveline System > Page 1872
Universal Joint (U-Joint) Wear
Place the vehicle on a frame hoist and rotate the driveshaft by hand. Check for rough operation or
seized U-joints. Install a new U-joint if it shows signs of seizure, excessive wear or incorrect
seating.
Wheel Hub Bolt Circle Runout
NOTE: The brake discs must be removed to carry out all runout measurements.
1. Position the special tool on the wheel hub bolt, as close to the hub face as possible. Zero the
indicator to allow the pointer to deflect either way.
2. Rotate the hub until the next bolt is contacted. Record the measurement and continue until each
bolt is checked. The difference between the
maximum and minimum contact readings will be the total wheel hub bolt circle runout. The runout
must not exceed 0.38 mm (0.015 inch).
Pilot Runout
1. Position the special tools on the pilot, as close to the hub as possible. Zero the indicator to allow
the pointer to deflect either way.
2. Rotate the hub one full turn and note the maximum and minimum readings. The difference
between the maximum and minimum readings will be
the total pilot runout. Pilot runout must not exceed 0.15 mm (0.006 inch).
Wheel Hub Runout
1. Position the special tool on the wheel hub, as close to the outer edge as possible. Zero the
indicator to allow the pointer to deflect either way.
2. Rotate the hub one full turn and note the maximum and minimum readings. The difference
between the maximum and minimum readings will be
the total wheel hub runout. The runout must not exceed 0.127 mm (0.005 inch).
Drive Pinion Stem and Pinion Flange
Check the pinion flange runout when all other checks have failed to show the cause of the
vibration.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Hub > Component Information > Testing and
Inspection > Driveline System > Page 1873
One cause of excessive pinion flange runout is incorrect installation of the axle drive pinion seal.
Check to determine if the spring on the seal lip has been dislodged.
Halfshafts
NOTE: Constant velocity (CV) joints must not be installed unless disassembly and inspection
reveals unusual wear.
NOTE: While inspecting the boots, watch for indentations ("dimples") in the boot convolutions.
Indentations must be removed.
^ Inspect the boots for evidence of cracks, tears or splits.
^ Inspect the underbody for any indication of grease splatter near the boots outboard and inboard
locations. This is an indication of boot/clamp damage.
Axle Noise
NOTE: Before disassembling the axle to diagnose and correct gear noise, eliminate the tires,
exhaust, trim items, roof racks and wheel bearings as possible causes. Follow the diagnostic
procedures in Vehicle/Testing and Inspection.
The noises described as follows usually have specific causes that can be diagnosed by
observation as the unit is disassembled. The initial clues are the type of noise heard during the
road test.
Gear Howl and Whine
Howling or whining of the ring gear and pinion is due to an incorrect gear pattern, gear damage or
incorrect bearing preload.
Bearing Whine
Bearing whine is a high-pitched sound similar to a whistle. It is usually caused by worn/damaged
pinion bearings, which are operating at driveshaft speed. Bearing noise occurs at all driving
speeds. This distinguishes it from gear whine which usually comes and goes as speed changes.
As noted, pinion bearings make a high-pitched, whistling noise, usually at all speeds. If however
there is only one pinion bearing that is worn/damaged, the noise may vary in different driving
phases. New pinion bearings must not be installed unless they are scored or damaged, or there is
a specific pinion bearing noise. A worn/damaged bearing will normally be obvious at disassembly.
Examine the large end of the rollers for wear. If the pinion bearings original blend radius has worn
to a sharp edge, a new pinion bearing must be installed.
A wheel bearing noise can be mistaken for a pinion bearing noise. On rear wheel drive (RWD)
vehicles, check the wheel bearing for a spalled cup and spalled/damaged rollers. Install a new
wheel bearing if any of these concerns are detected.
On four wheel drive (4WD) vehicles, check the wheel bearing for rotating smoothness and end
play.
Chuckle
Chuckle that occurs on the coast driving phase is usually caused by excessive clearance between
the differential gear hub and the differential case bore.
Damage to a gear tooth on the coast side can cause a noise identical to a chuckle. A very small
tooth nick or ridge on the edge of a tooth can cause the noise.
Clean the gear tooth nick or ridge with a small grinding wheel. If the damaged area is larger than
3.2 mm (1/8 inch), install a new gearset.
To check the ring gear and pinion, remove as much lubricant as possible from the gears with clean
solvent. Wipe the gears dry or blow them dry with compressed air. Look for scored or damaged
teeth. Also look for cracks or other damage.
If either gear is scored or damaged badly, a new ring gear and pinion must be installed.

Inspection > Driveline System > Page 1874
If metal has broken loose, the axle housing must be cleaned to remove particles that will cause
damage. At this time, any other damaged parts in the axle housing must also be installed new.
Knock
Knock, which can occur in all driving phases, has several causes including damaged teeth or
gearset.
1. NOTE: Measure the end play with a Dial Indicator with Bracketry and not by feel.
Knock is also caused by excessive end play in the axle shafts. Up to 0.762 mm (0.030 inch) is
allowed in semi-float axles. The frequency of the knock will be less because the axle shaft speed is
slower than the driveshaft.
Clunk
Clunk is a metallic noise heard when the automatic transmission is engaged in REVERSE or
DRIVE. The noise can also occur when throttle is applied or released. It is caused by backlash
somewhere in the driveline or loose suspension components; it is felt or heard in the axle.
Additionally, clunk may be heard upon initial drive-away. This occurs as engine torque shifts
vehicle weight, forcing changes in driveline angles which prevent the driveshaft slip-yoke from
sliding on the output shaft. To correct this condition, lubricate the slip-yoke splines.
Bearing Rumble
Bearing rumble sounds like marbles being tumbled. This condition is usually caused by a
worn/damaged wheel bearing. The lower pitch is because the wheel bearing turns at only about 1/3
of the driveshaft speed. Wheel bearing noise also may be high-pitched, similar to gear noise, but
will be evident in all 4 driving modes.

Inspection and Verification
Special Tool(s)
Material
The technician should have a thorough knowledge of driveline system operation and accepted
general driveline guidelines to detect any problems.
A gear driven unit will produce a certain amount of noise. Some noise is acceptable and audible at
certain speeds or under various driving conditions. Certain conditions, such as road conditions and
weather, will amplify normal vehicle noise.
Certain rear axle and driveline concern symptoms are also common to the engine, transmission,
rear wheel bearings and tire. For this reason, be sure the cause of the concern is in the axle before
repairing or installing any axle components.
This is a guide to diagnose a driveline concern: ^
Verify and document the customer concern.
^ Carry out a preliminary investigation.
^ Road test the vehicle.
^ Find the cause of the problem.
^ Inspect the components.
1. Verify and document the customer concern.
1 When was it first noticed?
2 Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
3 Did anything unusual occur that would coincide with it or precede it?
4 Has the driveline system been repaired before or new components installed? ^
Check the vehicle service record. Note any repairs other than driveline, such as brakes or
suspension.
5 Are there any special conditions that will affect the concern or will alter the concern? For
example, ^
road speed.
^ type of road.
^ drive mode.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Hub > Component Information > Testing and
Inspection > Driveline System > Page 1876
^ temperature.
^ vehicle loaded or unloaded.
6 Is the condition constant or intermittent? Can the concern be duplicated at any time?
7 Check for TSBs.
2. NOTE: If the inspection reveals an obvious concern, repair the vehicle.
Do a preliminary investigation. Visually inspect for obvious signs of damage. 1
Inspect the driveshaft: ^
for build up of any foreign material.
^ for damage, such as a bent tube or missing weights.
^ U-joints, CV joints or flex couplers for wear or damage.
2 Inspect the axle: ^
for signs of leakage at the drain or fill plug, differential seal, vent or halfshaft seals. a plugged vent or vent tube will cause a leak.
^ for damage, such as cracks, bent halfshafts or dented rear cover.
^ for missing fasteners.
3 Inspect other suspect components/systems: ^
inspect the suspension for broken springs, damaged shock absorbers and worn suspension
bushings.
^ inspect the rear brake components - lines, cables and calipers.
^ inspect the tires; are they in good condition and do they match?
3. NOTE: A road test is necessary for any customer concern of noise or vibration.
Road test the vehicle. 1
During the road test, use these driving methods to diagnose the problem. Is the concern most
noticeable: ^
from a stop?
^ on shifts from REVERSE to DRIVE?
^ on turns? sweeping type turn.
- tight turn (to the stop).
^ in DRIVE? accelerating the vehicle, definite throttle depression, applying engine torque.
^ in CRUISE? -
maintaining a constant speed with the throttle applied.
^ in COAST? decelerating with the throttle closed.
2 Record when the concern occurs. Write down the kph (mph) range at which the noise/vibration
occurs.
4. Find the cause of the problem.
1 Compare the inspection and road test results with the chart.
2 Use this diagnostic routine chart to identify the probable cause and know what corrective actions
should be taken to repair the component/vehicle and to prevent a reoccurrence.

Diagnostic Routine Chart
5. NOTE: If the conclusion of the road test points to an axle assembly section (ring and pinion or
differential case) concern, carry out a visual
inspection of the rear axle.
Inspect the axle components. 1
Remove the axle assembly.
2 Remove the differential housing cover. Drain the axle lubricant through a white cloth. Check the
fluid for: ^
any foreign material.
^ metal particles.
^ burnt odor.
3 NOTE: When inspecting the axle, do not clean the components immediately. Cleaning may
remove diagnostic evidence.
Inspect the axle components.
^ Look for: loose fasteners.
- notches or visible steps or grooves created by wear.
- pitting or cracking along gear contact lines.
- scuffing or deformations.
- discolorations.
- nicks or ridges on gear teeth.
^ Clean the axle components for inspection. Remove as much lubricant as possible with clean solvent. Wipe the components or blow them dry
with compressed air.

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

Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Page 1906
5. When the VCT solenoid is energized, engine oil is allowed to flow to the VCT actuator assembly
which advances or retards the camshaft timing.
One half of the VCT actuator is coupled to the camshaft and the other half is connected to the
timing chain. Oil chambers between the 2 halves couple the camshaft to the timing chain. When
the flow of oil is shifted from one side of the chamber to the other, the differential change in oil
pressure forces the camshaft to rotate in either an advance or retard position depending on the oil
flow.

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

Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Page 1954
5. When the VCT solenoid is energized, engine oil is allowed to flow to the VCT actuator assembly
which advances or retards the camshaft timing.
One half of the VCT actuator is coupled to the camshaft and the other half is connected to the
timing chain. Oil chambers between the 2 halves couple the camshaft to the timing chain. When
the flow of oil is shifted from one side of the chamber to the other, the differential change in oil
pressure forces the camshaft to rotate in either an advance or retard position depending on the oil
flow.

Inspection and Verification CAUTION: Under no circumstances should the accessory drive belt,
tensioner or pulleys be lubricated as potential damage to the belt material and tensioner damping
mechanism will occur. Do not apply any fluids or belt dressing to the accessory drive belt or
pulleys.
1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system. 2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of
mechanical damage.
Visual Inspection Chart

3. Eliminate all other non-belt related noises that could cause belt misdiagnosis, such as A/C
compressor engagement chirp, power steering
cavitations at low temperatures, variable camshaft timing (VCT) tick or generator whine.
4. If a concern is found, correct the condition before proceeding to the next step.
V-Ribbed Serpentine Drive Belt With Cracks Across Ribs
V-Ribbed Serpentine Drive Belt With Cracks Across Ribs
5. NOTE: Up to 15 cracks in a rib over a distance of 100 mm (4.0 inch) can be considered
acceptable. If damage exceeds the acceptable limit or
any chunks are found to be missing from the ribs, a new belt must be installed.
Check the belt for cracks. Up to 15 cracks in a rib over a distance of 100 mm (4.0 inch) can be
considered acceptable. If cracks exceed this standard, install a new belt.
6. The condition of the V-ribbed drive belt should be compared against the illustration and
appropriate action taken.
1 Small scattered deposits of rubber material. This is not a concern, therefore, installation of a new
belt is not required.
2 Longer deposit areas building up to 50% of the rib height. This is not considered a concern but it
can result in excessive noise. If noise is apparent, install a new belt.
3 Heavy deposits building up along the grooves resulting in a possible noise and belt stability
concern. If heavy deposits are apparent, install a new belt.
V-Ribbed Serpentine Belt With Piling
NOTE: Piling is an excessive buildup in the V-grooves of the belt.

Drive Belt: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
Drive Belt - Noise/Flutter
Drive Belt - Noise/Flutter Drive belt chirp occurs due to pulley misalignment or excessive pulley
runout. It can be the result of a damaged or incorrectly aligned grooved pulley.
To correct, determine the area where the noise comes from. Check each of the pulleys in that area
with a straightedge to the crankshaft pulley. Look for accessory pulleys out of position in the fore/aft
direction or at an angle to the straightedge.
CAUTION: Do not apply any fluids or belt dressing to the accessory drive belt or pulleys.
Drive belt squeal may be an intermittent or constant noise that occurs when the drive belt slips on
an accessory pulley under certain conditions.
A short intermittent squeal may occur during engine start-up and shut down or during very rapid
engine acceleration and decelerations, such as:
^ wide open throttle 1-2 and 2-3 shifts or 2-3 and 3-4 back out shifts on automatic transmissions.
^ wide open throttle 1-2 and 2-3 shifts and any combination of rapid downshifting on manual
transmissions.
These special short-term transient events are expected, and are due to the higher system inertias
required to meet the electrical and cooling demands on today's vehicle systems. Constant or
reoccurring drive belt squeal can occur:
^ if the A/C discharge pressure goes above specifications:
^ the A/C system is overcharged.
^ the A/C condenser core airflow is blocked.
^ if the A/C off equalized pressure (the common discharged and suction pressure that occurs after
several minutes) exceeds specifications.
^ if any of the accessories are damaged or have a worn or damaged bearing. All accessories
should be rotatable by hand in the unloaded condition. If not, inspect the accessory.
^ if there is evidence of fluid contamination on the accessory drive belt. When the drive belt has
been exposed to fluid contamination during vehicle operation, such as leaks from the power
steering system, A/C system or cooling system, clean all pulleys with soap and water, rinse with
clean water and install a new accessory drive belt. If the drive belt has been exposed to fluids in a
localized area during routine vehicle service, such as replacement of hoses or fluids, the drive belt
and pulleys should be washed with soap and water immediately (prior to starting the engine), and
rinsed with clean water.
^ if the accessory drive belt is too long. A drive belt that is too long will allow the accessory drive
belt tensioner arm to go all the way to the arm travel stop under certain load conditions, which will
release tension to the drive belt. If the accessory drive belt tensioner indicator is outside the normal
installation wear range window, install a new accessory drive belt.
^ NOTE: The accessory drive belt tensioner arm should rotate freely without binding.
Install a new accessory drive belt tensioner if the drive belt tensioner is worn or damaged.
Drive Belt - Incorrect Installation
Drive Belt - Incorrect Installation
CAUTION: Incorrect accessory drive belt installation will cause excessive drive belt wear and can
cause the drive belt to come off the pulleys.
Non-standard accessory drive belts can track differently or incorrectly. If an accessory drive belt
tracks incorrectly, install a new accessory drive belt to avoid performance failure or loss of the drive
belt.

Correct Installation
Correct Installation
With the engine running, check accessory drive belt tracking on all pulleys. If the edge of the
accessory drive belt rides beyond the edge of the pulleys, noise and premature wear will occur.
Make sure the accessory drive belt rides correctly on the pulley. If an accessory drive belt tracking
condition exists, proceed with the following:
^ Visually check the accessory drive belt tensioner for damage, especially the mounting pad
surface. If the accessory drive belt tensioner is not installed correctly, the mounting surface pad will
be out of position. This will result in chirp and squeal noises.
^ With the engine running, visually observe the grooves in the pulleys (not the pulley flanges or the
pulley forward faces) for excessive wobble. Install new components as necessary.
^ Check all accessories, mounting brackets and the accessory drive belt tensioner for any
interference that would prevent the component from mounting correctly. Correct any interference
condition and recheck the accessory drive belt tracking.
^ Tighten all accessories, mounting brackets and accessory drive belt tensioner retaining hardware
to specification. Recheck the accessory drive belt tracking.
Belt Tensioner - Mechanical
Belt Tensioner - Mechanical The only mechanical check that needs to be made is a check for
tensioner stick, grab or bind.
1. With the engine off, check routing of the accessory drive belt. Refer to the illustrations under
Description and Operation.
2. NOTE: The accessory drive belt tensioner spring is very strong and requires substantial force to
release.
Using a suitable, commercially available serpentine belt tensioner release tool, release the tension
on the belt and detach the accessory drive belt in the area of the tensioner.
3. Using a suitable, commercially available serpentine belt tensioner release tool, move the
tensioner from its relaxed position, through its full stroke
and back to the relaxed position to make sure there is no stick, grab or bind, and to make sure that
there is tension on the tensioner spring.
4. Rotate the tensioner pulley by hand and check for a binding, contaminated or seized condition.
Install a new accessory drive belt tensioner if
necessary.
5. Inspect the area surrounding the accessory drive belt tensioner for oil leaks or contamination
and repair any leaks. Install a new accessory drive
belt tensioner as necessary.
6. If the accessory drive belt tensioner meets the above criteria, proceed to testing the tensioner
dynamically. If the accessory drive belt tensioner
does not meet the above criteria, install a new tensioner.
Belt Tensioner - Dynamics
Belt Tensioner - Dynamics The accessory drive belt tensioner can be checked dynamically as
follows:
1. With the engine running, observe the accessory drive belt tensioner movement. The accessory
drive tensioner should move (respond) when the air
conditioning clutch cycles (if equipped), or when the engine is accelerated rapidly. If the accessory
drive belt tensioner movement is excessive without air conditioning clutch cycling or engine
acceleration, check belt rideout. Excessive belt rideout (uneven depth of grooves in the belt) can
cause excessive accessory drive belt tensioner movement. Check rideout condition by installing a
new belt. If excessive accessory drive belt tensioner movement still exists, install a new accessory
drive belt tensioner.

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

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

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

Variable Valve Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Page 2221
5. When the VCT solenoid is energized, engine oil is allowed to flow to the VCT actuator assembly
which advances or retards the camshaft timing.
One half of the VCT actuator is coupled to the camshaft and the other half is connected to the
timing chain. Oil chambers between the 2 halves couple the camshaft to the timing chain. When
the flow of oil is shifted from one side of the chamber to the other, the differential change in oil
pressure forces the camshaft to rotate in either an advance or retard position depending on the oil
flow.

If one or more cylinders read low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of engine oil on top of the
pistons in the low-reading cylinders. Repeat the compression pressure check on these cylinders.
Compression Test - Interpreting Compression Readings
1. If compression improves considerably, piston rings are faulty. 2. If compression does not
improve, valves are sticking or seating incorrectly. 3. If 2 adjacent cylinders indicate low
compression pressures and squirting oil on each piston does not increase compression, the head
gasket may be

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

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

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR
Typical Thread Type ECT Sensor
The ECT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance changes the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The ECT measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The PCM uses the ECT input for fuel
control and for cooling fan control. There are 3 types of ECT sensors, threaded, push-in, and
twist-lock. The ECT sensor is located in an engine coolant passage.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR
Typical Thread Type ECT Sensor
The ECT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance changes the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The ECT measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The PCM uses the ECT input for fuel
control and for cooling fan control. There are 3 types of ECT sensors, threaded, push-in, and
twist-lock. The ECT sensor is located in an engine coolant passage.

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

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation
CATALYST AND EXHAUST SYSTEMS
Overview
V-Engines
In-Line Engines
The catalytic converter and exhaust Systems work together to control the release of harmful engine
exhaust emissions into the atmosphere. The engine exhaust gas consists mainly of nitrogen (N),
carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O) However, it also contains carbon monoxide (CO),
oxides of nitrogen (NOx), hydrogen (H), and various unburned hydrocarbons (HCs). The major air
pollutants of CO, NOx, and HCs, and their emission into the atmosphere must be controlled.
The exhaust system generally consists of an exhaust manifold, front exhaust pipe, front heated
oxygen sensor (HO2S), rear exhaust pipe, catalyst HO2S, a muffler, and an exhaust tailpipe. The
catalytic converter is typically installed between the front and rear exhaust pipes. On some vehicle
applications, more than one catalyst is used between the front and rear exhaust pipes. Catalytic
converter efficiency is monitored by the on board diagnostic (OBD) system strategy in the PCM.
For information on the OBD catalyst monitor, refer to the description for the Catalyst Efficiency
Monitor. See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes/Monitors/Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
The number of HO2Ss used in the exhaust stream and the location of these sensors depend on the
vehicle emission certification level (LEV, LEV-II, ULEV, PZEV). On most vehicles only 2 HO2Ss are
used in an exhaust stream. The front sensors (HO2S11/HO2S21) before the catalyst are used for
primary fuel control while the ones after the catalyst (HO2S12/HO2S22) are used to monitor
catalyst efficiency. However, some partial zero emission vehicles (PZEV) use 3 HO2Ss for each
engine bank. The stream 1 sensors (HO2S11/HO2S21) located before the catalyst are used for
primary fuel control, the stream 2 sensors (HO2S12/HO2S22) are used to monitor the light-off
catalyst, and the stream 3 sensors (HO2S13/HO2S23) located after the catalyst are used for long
term fuel trim control to optimize catalyst efficiency (fore aft oxygen sensor control). Current PZEV
vehicles use only a 4-cylinder engine, so only the bank 1 HO2Ss are used.
Catalytic Converter
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Exhaust System > Catalytic Converter > Component Information
> Description and Operation > Page 2418
A catalyst is a material that remains unchanged when it initiates and increases the speed of a
chemical reaction. A catalyst also enables a chemical reaction to occur at a lower temperature. The
concentration of exhaust gas products released to the atmosphere must be controlled. The
catalytic converter assists in this task. It contains a catalyst in the form of a specially treated
ceramic honeycomb structure saturated with catalytically active precious metals. As the exhaust
gases come in contact with the catalyst, they are changed into mostly harmless products. The
catalyst initiates and speeds up heat producing chemical reactions of the exhaust gas components
so they are used up as much as possible.
Light Off Catalyst
As the catalyst heats up, converter efficiency rises rapidly. The point at which conversion efficiency
exceeds 50% is called catalyst light off. For most catalysts this point occurs at 246°C to 302°C
(475°F to 575°F). A fast light catalyst is a 3-way catalyst (TWC) that is located as close to the
exhaust manifold as possible. Because the light off catalyst is located close to the exhaust manifold
it lights off faster and reduces emissions more quickly than the catalyst located under the body.
Once the catalyst lights off, the catalyst quickly reaches the maximum conversion efficiency for that
catalyst.
Three-Way Catalyst (TWC) Conversion Efficiency
TWC Conversion Efficiency Chart
A TWC requires a stoichiometric fuel ratio, 14.7 pounds of air to 1 pound of fuel (14.7:1), for high
conversion efficiency. In order to achieve these high efficiencies, the air/fuel ratio must be tightly
controlled with a narrow window of stoichiometry. Deviations outside of this window greatly
decrease the conversion efficiency. For example a rich mixture decreases the HC and CO
conversion efficiency while a lean mixture decreases the NOx conversion efficiency.
Exhaust System
Typical Bank 1 Catalyst 2 HO2S Configuration
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Exhaust System > Catalytic Converter > Component Information
> Description and Operation > Page 2419
Typical Bank 1 Catalyst 3 HO2S Configuration
The purpose of the exhaust system is to convey engine emissions from the exhaust manifold to the
atmosphere. Engine exhaust emissions are directed from the engine exhaust manifold to the
catalytic converter through the front exhaust pipe. A HO2S is mounted on the front exhaust pipe
before the catalyst. The catalytic converter reduces the concentration of CO, unburned HCs, and
NOx in the exhaust emissions to an acceptable level. The reduced exhaust emissions are directed
from the catalytic converter past another HO2S mounted in the rear exhaust pipe and then on into
the muffler. Finally, the exhaust emissions are directed to the atmosphere through an exhaust
tailpipe.
On some PZEV, there is a total of 3 HO2S in the exhaust stream. One near the exhaust manifold
(stream 1), one in the middle of the light-off catalyst (stream 2), and the third (stream 3) is mounted
after the light-off catalyst.
Underbody Catalyst
The underbody catalyst is located after the light off catalyst. The underbody catalyst may be in line
with the light off catalyst, or the underbody catalyst may be common to 2 light off catalysts, forming
a Y pipe configuration. For an exact configuration of the catalyst and exhaust system for a specific
vehicle, refer to Catalytic Converter, Exhaust System.
Three-Way Catalytic (TWC) Converter
The TWC converter contains either platinum (Pt) and rhodium (Rh) or palladium (Pd) and rhodium
(Rh). The TWC converter catalyzes the oxidation reactions of unburned HCs and CO and the
reduction reaction of NOx. The 3-way conversion can be best accomplished by always operating
the engine air fuel/ratio at or close to stoichiometry.
Exhaust Manifold Runners
The exhaust manifold runners collect exhaust gases from engine cylinders. The number of exhaust
manifolds and exhaust manifold runners depends on the engine configuration and number of
cylinders.
Exhaust Pipes
Exhaust pipes are usually treated during manufacturing with an anti-corrosive coating agent to
increase the life of the product. The pipes serve as guides for the flow of exhaust gases from the
engine exhaust manifold through the catalytic converter and the muffler.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
The HO2Ss provide the powertrain control module (PCM) with voltage and frequency information
related to the oxygen content of the exhaust gas.
Muffler
Mufflers are usually treated during manufacturing with an anti-corrosive coating agent to increase.
the life of the product. The muffler reduces the level of noise produced by the engine, and also
reduces the noise produced by exhaust gases as they travel from the catalytic converter to the
atmosphere.

Electronic Throttle Control Module: Description and Operation
TORQUE BASED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC)
Overview
The torque based ETC is a hardware and software strategy that delivers an engine output torque
(via throttle angle) based on driver demand (pedal position). It uses an electronic throttle body, the
powertrain control module (PCM), and an accelerator pedal assembly to control the throttle
opening and engine torque. The ETC system replaces the standard cable operated accelerator
pedal, idle air control (IAC) valve, 3-wire throttle position (TP) sensor, and mechanical throttle body.
Torque based ETC enables aggressive automatic transmission shift schedules (earlier upshifts and
later downshifts). This is possible by adjusting the throttle angle to achieve the same wheel torque
during shifts, and by calculating this desired torque, the system prevents engine lugging (low RPM
and low manifold vacuum) while still delivering the performance and torque requested by the driver.
It also enables many fuel economy/emission improvement technologies such as variable camshaft
timing (VCT) (deliver same torque during transitions).
Torque based ETC also results in less intrusive vehicle and engine speed limiting, along with
smoother traction control.
Other benefits of ETC are: eliminate cruise control actuators
- eliminate idle air control (IAC) valve
- better airflow range
- packaging (no cable)
- more responsive powertrain at altitude and improved shift quality
It should be noted that the ETC system illuminates a powertrain malfunction indicator (wrench) on
the instrument cluster when a concern is present. Concerns are accompanied by diagnostic trouble
codes (DTCs) and may also illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
Electronic Throttle Body (ETB)
The ETB has the following characteristics: 1. The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor is a DC
motor controlled by the PCM (requires 2-wires). The gear ratio from the motor to the throttle
plate shaft is 17:1.
2. There are 2 designs: parallel and in-series. The parallel design has the motor under the bore
parallel to the plate shaft. The motor housing is
integrated into the main housing. The in-series design has a separate motor housing.
3. Two springs are used: one is used to close the throttle (main spring) and the other is in a plunger
assembly that results in a default angle when no
power is applied. This is for limp home reasons (the force of the plunger spring is 2 times stronger
than the main spring). The default angle is usually set to result in a top vehicle speed of 48 km/h
(30 mph). Typically this throttle angle is 7 to 8 degrees from the hard-stop angle.
4. The closed throttle plate hard stop is used to prevent the throttle from binding in the bore (~0.75
degree). This hard stop setting is not adjustable
and is set to result in less airflow than the minimum engine airflow required at idle.
5. Unlike cable operated throttle bodies, the intent for the ETB is not to have a hole in the throttle
plate or to use plate sealant. The hole is not
required in the ETB because the required idle airflow is provided by the plate angle in the throttle
body assembly. This plate angle controls idle, idle quality, and eliminates the need for an IAC
valve.
6. The TP sensor has 2 signal circuits in the sensor for redundancy. The redundant throttle position
signals are required for increased monitoring
reasons. The first TP signal (TP1) has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and
the second signal (TP2) has a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal
operation the negative slope TP signal (TP1) is used by the control strategy as the indication of
throttle position. The TP sensor assembly requires 4 circuits. 5-volt reference voltage
- Signal return (ground)
- TP1 voltage with negative voltage slope (5-0 volts)
- TP2 voltage with positive voltage slope (0-5 volts)
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensors

Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Electronic Throttle Control Module > Component Information > Description
and Operation > Page 2454
Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) And Accelerator Pedal Assembly
The ETC strategy uses pedal position sensors as an input to determine the driver demand. 1.
There are 3 pedal position signals required for system monitoring. APP1 has a negative slope
(increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and APP2 and
APP3 both have a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation
APP1 is used as the indication of pedal position by the strategy.
2. There are 2 VREF circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 3 signal circuits (a total of 7 circuits and
pins) between the PCM and the APP sensor
assembly. 2 reference voltage circuits (5 volts)
- 2 signal return (ground) circuits
- APP1 voltage with negative voltage slope (5-0 volts)
- APP2 voltage with positive voltage slope (0-5 volts)
- APP3 voltage with positive voltage slope (0-5 volts)
3. The pedal position signal is convened to pedal travel degrees (rotary angle) by the PCM. The
software then converts these degrees to counts,
which is the input to the torque based strategy.
4. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a
concern. The PCM determines if a signal is
incorrect by calculating where it should be, inferred from the other signals. A value is substituted for
an incorrect signal if 2 of the 3 signals are incorrect.

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

ETC System Failure Mode And Effects Management (Part 2)
Since the IPC and the main controller share the same processor, they are subject to a number of
potential common failure modes. The E-Quizzer processor was added to redundantly monitor
selected PCM inputs and to act as an intelligent watchdog and monitor the performance of the IPC
and the main processor. If it determines that the IPC function is impaired in any way, it takes
appropriate failure mode and effects management (FMEM) actions.

Throttle Plate Controller Check Operation
The purpose of the TPPC is to maintain the throttle position at the desired throttle angle. It is a
separate chip embedded in the PCM. The desired angle is communicated from the main CPU via a
312.5 Hz duty cycle (DC) signal. The TPPC interprets the duty cycle signal as follows: Less than 4% - Out of range, limp home default position.
- Greater than or equal to 4% but less than 6% - Commanded default position, closed.
- Greater than or equal to 6% but less than 7% - Commanded default position. Used for key ON,
engine OFF.
- Greater than or equal to 7% but less than 8% - Enable ice breaker mode. Used to clear potential
ice buildup in the throttle body.
- Greater than or equal to 8% but less than 10% - Closed against hard-stop. Used to learn zero
throttle angle position (hard stop) after key-up.
- Greater than or equal to 10% but less than or equal to 92% - Normal operation, between 0
degrees (hard stop) and 82 degrees, 10% duty cycle equals 0 degrees throttle angle, 92% duty
cycle equals 82 degrees throttle angle.
- Greater than 92% but less than or equal to 96% - Wide open throttle, 82 to 86 degrees throttle
angle.
- Greater than 96% but less than or equal to 100% - Out of range, limp home default position.
The desired angle is relative to the hard-stop angle. The hard stop angle is learned during each
key-up process before the main CPU requests the throttle plate be closed against the hard stop.
The output of the TPPC is a voltage request to the H driver (also in PCM). The H driver is capable
of positive or negative voltage to the electronic throttle body motor.

vehicles may exhibit one or more of the following symptoms: drive-away hesitation, loss of RPM on
deceleration, difficulty starting, and/or idle RPM less than desired. Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
may be illuminated with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0506 and/or P0505. These conditions
may appear after battery disconnect, dead battery condition, or keep alive memory (KAM) reset.
The symptoms may be due to engine deposits in the throttle leading to air[low less than desired.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 53.9
and higher or 54.1 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2008.1 DVD.
Calibration files may also be obtained at the website. The calibration contains a sludge
compensation strategy for the throttle body.
2. Turn the key off to re-initialize the PCM. This will allow the sludge compensation strategy to
learn.
3. With the vehicle in park or neutral and A/C off, start vehicle and allow engine to reach normal
operating temperature(greater than 170 °F (77 °C) coolant temperature). Run an additional 5
minutes to allow sufficient learning time.
4. While the engine is running, using IDS datalogger or equivalent, check the PID value of
ETC_TRIM.
a. If ETC_TRIM value is 3.5 degrees, and/or DTC PuSE is present, then replace the electronic
throttle body (ETB), following Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-04B.
b. If ETC_TRIM value is less than 3.5 degrees and DTC PuSE is not present, but driveability
concerns persist, the ETB is not the likely cause of the concern and replacement is not necessary.
Continue with normal PC/ED diagnostics.

NOTE
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A PCM AND TCM REQUIRE COORDINATED REPROGRAMMING.
THIS COORDINATED REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY AS
OUTLINED BY THE IDS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE KEY CYCLE PROCEDURE WITHOUT
WAITING FOR THE IDS PROMPTS, WILL CAUSE THE COORDINATED REPROGRAMMING TO
FAIL. THE PCM WILL BE UPDATED BUT THE 1CM WILL NOT BE UPDATED AND NEW FILES
WILL NOT BE INSTALLED. IT IS CRITICAL TO FOLLOW THE IDS PROMPTS. SOME VEHICLES
MAY REQUIRE SEVERAL DAYS OF DRIVING FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO FULLY ADAPT.
REPROGRAMMING CONCERNS/ERRORS MAY BE CAUSED BY THE DATA LINK
CONNECTOR (DLC) OR VEHICLE COMMUNICATION MODULE (VCM) BECOMING
DISCONNECTED, LOW BATTERIES ON THE INTEGRATED DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (IDS) OR
THE IDS GOING INTO ANY TYPE OF SLEEP MODE, OR LOW VEHICLE BATTERY VOLTAGE.
IF THERE WAS AN INTERRUPTION DURING REPROGRAMMING, MAKE SURE THE
ORIGINAL IDS SESSION THAT WAS CREATED FOR THE VEHICLE IS NOT DELETED. IF THE
ORIGINAL VEHICLE SESSION IS NOT USED OR DELETED BEFORE THE MODULES ARE
COMPLETELY REPROGRAMMED, FURTHER REPROGRAMMING ERRORS CAN OCCUR.
THE MODULE RECOVERY PROCEDURE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND IT IS CRITICAL
THAT MODULE SWAPPING IS NOT PERFORMED FROM VEHICLE TO VEHICLE. TO REGAIN
COMMUNICATION WITH A MODULE THAT HAS BEEN ERASED DURING REPROGRAMMING,
RESUME THE ORIGINAL SESSION ONCE THE IDS IS RE-BOOTED.

vehicles may exhibit one or more of the following symptoms: drive-away hesitation, loss of RPM on
deceleration, difficulty starting, and/or idle RPM less than desired. Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
may be illuminated with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0506 and/or P0505. These conditions
may appear after battery disconnect, dead battery condition, or keep alive memory (KAM) reset.
The symptoms may be due to engine deposits in the throttle leading to air[low less than desired.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 53.9
and higher or 54.1 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2008.1 DVD.
Calibration files may also be obtained at the website. The calibration contains a sludge
compensation strategy for the throttle body.
2. Turn the key off to re-initialize the PCM. This will allow the sludge compensation strategy to
learn.
3. With the vehicle in park or neutral and A/C off, start vehicle and allow engine to reach normal
operating temperature(greater than 170 °F (77 °C) coolant temperature). Run an additional 5
minutes to allow sufficient learning time.
4. While the engine is running, using IDS datalogger or equivalent, check the PID value of
ETC_TRIM.
a. If ETC_TRIM value is 3.5 degrees, and/or DTC PuSE is present, then replace the electronic
throttle body (ETB), following Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-04B.
b. If ETC_TRIM value is less than 3.5 degrees and DTC PuSE is not present, but driveability
concerns persist, the ETB is not the likely cause of the concern and replacement is not necessary.
Continue with normal PC/ED diagnostics.

NOTE
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A PCM AND TCM REQUIRE COORDINATED REPROGRAMMING.
THIS COORDINATED REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY AS
OUTLINED BY THE IDS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE KEY CYCLE PROCEDURE WITHOUT
WAITING FOR THE IDS PROMPTS, WILL CAUSE THE COORDINATED REPROGRAMMING TO
FAIL. THE PCM WILL BE UPDATED BUT THE 1CM WILL NOT BE UPDATED AND NEW FILES
WILL NOT BE INSTALLED. IT IS CRITICAL TO FOLLOW THE IDS PROMPTS. SOME VEHICLES
MAY REQUIRE SEVERAL DAYS OF DRIVING FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO FULLY ADAPT.
REPROGRAMMING CONCERNS/ERRORS MAY BE CAUSED BY THE DATA LINK
CONNECTOR (DLC) OR VEHICLE COMMUNICATION MODULE (VCM) BECOMING
DISCONNECTED, LOW BATTERIES ON THE INTEGRATED DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (IDS) OR
THE IDS GOING INTO ANY TYPE OF SLEEP MODE, OR LOW VEHICLE BATTERY VOLTAGE.
IF THERE WAS AN INTERRUPTION DURING REPROGRAMMING, MAKE SURE THE
ORIGINAL IDS SESSION THAT WAS CREATED FOR THE VEHICLE IS NOT DELETED. IF THE
ORIGINAL VEHICLE SESSION IS NOT USED OR DELETED BEFORE THE MODULES ARE
COMPLETELY REPROGRAMMED, FURTHER REPROGRAMMING ERRORS CAN OCCUR.
THE MODULE RECOVERY PROCEDURE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND IT IS CRITICAL
THAT MODULE SWAPPING IS NOT PERFORMED FROM VEHICLE TO VEHICLE. TO REGAIN
COMMUNICATION WITH A MODULE THAT HAS BEEN ERASED DURING REPROGRAMMING,
RESUME THE ORIGINAL SESSION ONCE THE IDS IS RE-BOOTED.
WARRANTY STATUS: Eligible Under Provisions Of New Vehicle Limited Warranty Coverage And
Emissions Warranty Coverage IMPORTANT: Warranty coverage limits/policies are not altered by a
TSB. Warranty coverage limits are determined by the identified causal part.

Engine Control Module: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Information and Instructions > Page 2482
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Information and Instructions > Page 2483
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 2484
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

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

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR
The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
torque demand. There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APPS1, has a negative
slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APPS2 and APPS3, both have a
positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APPS1 is used as
the indication of pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM
receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern. There are 2 reference voltage circuits and 2
signal return circuits for the sensor.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Air Flow Meter/Sensor > Component Information > Locations > Page 2549
Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

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

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR
Typical Thread Type ECT Sensor
The ECT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance changes the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The ECT measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The PCM uses the ECT input for fuel
control and for cooling fan control. There are 3 types of ECT sensors, threaded, push-in, and
twist-lock. The ECT sensor is located in an engine coolant passage.

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

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

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

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

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

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S)
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
The HO2S detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust and produces a variable voltage
according to the amount of oxygen detected. A high concentration of oxygen (lean air/fuel ratio) in
the exhaust produces a voltage signal less than 0.4 volt. A low concentration of oxygen (rich
air/fuel ratio) produces a voltage signal greater than 0.6 volt. The HO2S provides feedback to the
PCM indicating air/fuel ratio in order to achieve a near stoichiometric air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1 during
closed loop engine operation. The HO2S generates a voltage between 0.0 and 1.1 volts.
Embedded with the sensing element is the HO2S heater. The heating element heats the sensor to
a temperature of 800°C (1,472°F). At approximately 300°C (572°F) the engine can enter closed
loop operation. The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater. The PCM turns the heater on by
providing the ground when the correct conditions occur. The heater allows the engine to enter
closed loop operation sooner. The use of this heater requires the HO2S heater control to be duty
cycled, to prevent damage to the heater.

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

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

The ETB position sensor has 2 signal circuits in the sensor for redundancy. The redundant ETB
position signals are required for increased monitoring. The first ETB position sensor signal (TP1)
has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and the second signal (TP2) has a
positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation the negative slope
ETB position sensor signal (TP1) is used by the control strategy as the indication of throttle
position. The 2 ETB position sensor signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1
signal has a concern. There is 1 reference voltage circuit and 1 signal return circuit for the sensor.

As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, 4 operating conditions are determined by the PCM
from the TP. The operating conditions are:
- closed throttle (includes idle or deceleration)
- part throttle (includes cruise or moderate acceleration)
- wide open throttle (includes maximum acceleration or de-choke on crank)
- throttle angle rate

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.

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

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

Wiggle Test Information for Open/Shorts
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all closed in PARK. PARK is a good position to check for
intermittent open circuits (with scan tool monitoring TRD).
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all open in OVERDRIVE, so OVERDRIVE is a good position to
check for shorts to ground. To determine the shorted components while observing TRD, unplug the
TR and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present unplug the transmission
harness and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present, then the short is in the
PCM or vehicle harness. Remove the suspect circuit(s) wire terminal from the PCM connector. If
the short is still present, then the PCM has an internal failure, otherwise the failure is in the vehicle
harness.

OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED (OSS) SENSOR
The OSS sensor provides the PCM with information about the rotational speed of an output shaft.
The PCM uses the information to control and diagnose powertrain behavior. In some applications,
the sensor is also used as the source of vehicle speed. The sensor may be physically located in
different places on the vehicle, depending upon the specific application. The design of each speed
sensor is unique and depends on which powertrain control feature uses the information that is
generated.

VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR (VSS)
Typical Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The VSS is a variable reluctance or hall-effect sensor that generates a waveform with a frequency
that is proportional to the speed of the vehicle. If the vehicle is moving at a relatively low velocity,
the sensor produces a signal with a low frequency. As the vehicle velocity increases, the sensor
generates a signal with a higher frequency. The PCM uses the frequency signal generated by the
VSS (and other inputs) to control such parameters as fuel injection, ignition control,
transmission/transaxle shift scheduling, and torque converter clutch scheduling.

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

ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR
The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
torque demand. There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APPS1, has a negative
slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APPS2 and APPS3, both have a
positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APPS1 is used as
the indication of pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM
receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern. There are 2 reference voltage circuits and 2
signal return circuits for the sensor.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Air Flow Meter/Sensor > Component Information > Locations > Page 2713
Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

Fuel Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
FUEL RAIL PRESSURE (FRP) SENSOR
Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
The FRP sensor is a diaphragm strain gauge device in which resistance changes with pressure.
The electrical resistance of a strain gauge increases as pressure increases, and the resistance
decreases as the pressure decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across the
sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to pressure.
Strain gauge type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The FRP sensor measures the pressure of the fuel near the fuel injectors. This signal is used by
the PCM to adjust the fuel injector pulse width and meter fuel to each engine combustion cylinder.

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

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

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

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY (ETB) POSITION SENSOR
The ETB position sensor has 2 signal circuits in the sensor for redundancy. The redundant ETB
position signals are required for increased monitoring. The first ETB position sensor signal (TP1)
has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and the second signal (TP2) has a
positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation the negative slope
ETB position sensor signal (TP1) is used by the control strategy as the indication of throttle
position. The 2 ETB position sensor signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1
signal has a concern. There is 1 reference voltage circuit and 1 signal return circuit for the sensor.

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

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

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

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

approximate number of compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
5. Repeat the test on each cylinder, cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.
Compression Test - Test Results The indicated compression pressures are considered within
specification if the lowest reading cylinder is at least 75% of the highest reading. Refer to the
Compression Pressure Limit Chart.
Compression Pressure Limit Chart
Compression Pressure Limit Chart
If one or more cylinders read low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of engine oil on top of the
pistons in the low-reading cylinders. Repeat the compression pressure check on these cylinders.
Compression Test - Interpreting Compression Readings
1. If compression improves considerably, piston rings are faulty. 2. If compression does not
improve, valves are sticking or seating incorrectly. 3. If 2 adjacent cylinders indicate low
compression pressures and squirting oil on each piston does not increase compression, the head
gasket may be

Use the Compression Pressure Limit Chart when checking cylinder compression so that the lowest
reading is at least 75% of the highest reading.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR
The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
torque demand. There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APPS1, has a negative
slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APPS2 and APPS3, both have a
positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APPS1 is used as
the indication of pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM
receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern. There are 2 reference voltage circuits and 2
signal return circuits for the sensor.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Air Flow Meter/Sensor >
Component Information > Locations > Page 2829
Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR
Typical Stand-Alone/Non-Integrated Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensors
Typical Integrated Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Incorporated Into A Drop-in Or Flange-type
MAF Sensor
The IAT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The electrical
resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and the resistance increases
as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across the sensor
terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The IAT provides air temperature information to the PCM. The PCM uses the air temperature
information as a correction factor in the calculation of fuel, spark, and air flow.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Intake Air Temperature Sensor >
Component Information > Locations > Page 2836
The IAT sensor provides a quicker temperature change response time than the ECT or CHT
sensor.
Currently there are 2 design types of IAT sensors used, a stand-alone/non-integrated type and a
integrated type. Both types function the same, however the integrated type is incorporated into the
mass air flow (MAF) sensor instead of being a stand alone sensor.
Supercharged vehicles use 2 IAT sensors. Both sensors are thermistor type devices and operate
as described. One is located before the supercharger at the air cleaner for standard OBD/cold
weather input, while a second sensor (IAT2) is located after the supercharger in the intake
manifold. The IAT2 sensor located after the supercharger provides air temperature information to
the PCM to control spark and to help determine charge air cooler (CAC) efficiency.

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

Brake Signal: Description and Operation Brake Pedal Switch (BPS) Brake Deactivator Switch
BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH (BPS) BRAKE DEACTIVATOR SWITCH
The BPS, also called the brake deactivator switch, is for vehicle speed control deactivation. A
normally closed switch supplies battery positive voltage (B+) to the PCM when the brake pedal is
not applied. When the brake pedal is applied, the normally closed switch opens and power is
removed from the PCM.
On some applications the normally closed BPS, along with the normally open BPP switch, are used
for a brake rationality test within the PCM. The PCM misfire monitor profile learn function may be
disabled if a brake switch concern occurs. If one or both brake pedal inputs to the PCM is not
changing states when they were expected to, a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is set by the PCM
strategy.

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

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR
Typical Thread Type ECT Sensor
The ECT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance changes the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.

minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The ECT measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The PCM uses the ECT input for fuel
control and for cooling fan control. There are 3 types of ECT sensors, threaded, push-in, and
twist-lock. The ECT sensor is located in an engine coolant passage.

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

Data Link Connector: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.

Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.

Electronic Throttle Actuator: Description and Operation
ELECTRONIC THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL (TAC)
The electronic TAC is a DC motor controlled by the PCM (requires 2 wires). The gear ratio from the
motor to the throttle plate shaft is 17:1. There are 2 designs for the TAC, parallel and in-series. The
parallel design has the motor under the bore parallel to the plate shaft. The motor housing is
integrated into the main housing. The in-series design has a separate motor housing. Two springs
are used; one is used to close the throttle (main spring) and the other is in a plunger assembly that
results in a default angle when no power is applied. The force of the plunger spring is 2 times
stronger than the main spring. The default angle is usually set to result in a top vehicle speed of 48
km/h (30 mph). Typically this throttle angle is 7 to 8 degree from the hard stop angle. The closed
throttle plate hard stop is used to prevent the throttle from binding in the bore (~ 0.75 degree). This
hard stop setting is not adjustable and is set to result in less airflow than the minimum engine
airflow required at idle.

Electronic Throttle Control Module: Description and Operation
TORQUE BASED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC)
Overview
The torque based ETC is a hardware and software strategy that delivers an engine output torque
(via throttle angle) based on driver demand (pedal position). It uses an electronic throttle body, the
powertrain control module (PCM), and an accelerator pedal assembly to control the throttle
opening and engine torque. The ETC system replaces the standard cable operated accelerator
pedal, idle air control (IAC) valve, 3-wire throttle position (TP) sensor, and mechanical throttle body.
Torque based ETC enables aggressive automatic transmission shift schedules (earlier upshifts and
later downshifts). This is possible by adjusting the throttle angle to achieve the same wheel torque
during shifts, and by calculating this desired torque, the system prevents engine lugging (low RPM
and low manifold vacuum) while still delivering the performance and torque requested by the driver.
It also enables many fuel economy/emission improvement technologies such as variable camshaft
timing (VCT) (deliver same torque during transitions).
Torque based ETC also results in less intrusive vehicle and engine speed limiting, along with
smoother traction control.
Other benefits of ETC are: eliminate cruise control actuators
- eliminate idle air control (IAC) valve
- better airflow range
- packaging (no cable)
- more responsive powertrain at altitude and improved shift quality
It should be noted that the ETC system illuminates a powertrain malfunction indicator (wrench) on
the instrument cluster when a concern is present. Concerns are accompanied by diagnostic trouble
codes (DTCs) and may also illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
Electronic Throttle Body (ETB)
The ETB has the following characteristics: 1. The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor is a DC
motor controlled by the PCM (requires 2-wires). The gear ratio from the motor to the throttle
plate shaft is 17:1.
2. There are 2 designs: parallel and in-series. The parallel design has the motor under the bore
parallel to the plate shaft. The motor housing is
integrated into the main housing. The in-series design has a separate motor housing.
3. Two springs are used: one is used to close the throttle (main spring) and the other is in a plunger
assembly that results in a default angle when no
power is applied. This is for limp home reasons (the force of the plunger spring is 2 times stronger
than the main spring). The default angle is usually set to result in a top vehicle speed of 48 km/h
(30 mph). Typically this throttle angle is 7 to 8 degrees from the hard-stop angle.
4. The closed throttle plate hard stop is used to prevent the throttle from binding in the bore (~0.75
degree). This hard stop setting is not adjustable
and is set to result in less airflow than the minimum engine airflow required at idle.
5. Unlike cable operated throttle bodies, the intent for the ETB is not to have a hole in the throttle
plate or to use plate sealant. The hole is not
required in the ETB because the required idle airflow is provided by the plate angle in the throttle
body assembly. This plate angle controls idle, idle quality, and eliminates the need for an IAC
valve.
6. The TP sensor has 2 signal circuits in the sensor for redundancy. The redundant throttle position
signals are required for increased monitoring
reasons. The first TP signal (TP1) has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and
the second signal (TP2) has a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal
operation the negative slope TP signal (TP1) is used by the control strategy as the indication of
throttle position. The TP sensor assembly requires 4 circuits. 5-volt reference voltage
- Signal return (ground)
- TP1 voltage with negative voltage slope (5-0 volts)
- TP2 voltage with positive voltage slope (0-5 volts)
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensors
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Electronic Throttle Control Module
> Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 2908
Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) And Accelerator Pedal Assembly
The ETC strategy uses pedal position sensors as an input to determine the driver demand. 1.
There are 3 pedal position signals required for system monitoring. APP1 has a negative slope
(increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and APP2 and
APP3 both have a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation
APP1 is used as the indication of pedal position by the strategy.
2. There are 2 VREF circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 3 signal circuits (a total of 7 circuits and
pins) between the PCM and the APP sensor
assembly. 2 reference voltage circuits (5 volts)
- 2 signal return (ground) circuits
- APP1 voltage with negative voltage slope (5-0 volts)
- APP2 voltage with positive voltage slope (0-5 volts)
- APP3 voltage with positive voltage slope (0-5 volts)
3. The pedal position signal is convened to pedal travel degrees (rotary angle) by the PCM. The
software then converts these degrees to counts,
which is the input to the torque based strategy.
4. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a
concern. The PCM determines if a signal is
incorrect by calculating where it should be, inferred from the other signals. A value is substituted for
an incorrect signal if 2 of the 3 signals are incorrect.
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) System Strategy

> Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 2909
ETC System
The torque based ETC strategy was developed to improve fuel economy and to accommodate
variable camshaft timing (VCT). This is possible by not coupling the throttle angle to the driver
pedal position. Uncoupling the throttle angle (produce engine torque) from the pedal position (driver
demand) allows the powertrain control strategy to optimize fuel control and transmission shift
schedules while delivering the requested wheel torque.
The ETC monitor system is distributed across 2 processors within the PCM: the main powertrain
control processor unit (CPU) and a monitoring processor called an enhanced-quizzer (E-Quizzer)
processor. The primary monitoring function is carried out by the independent plausibility check
(IPC) software, which resides on the main processor. It is responsible for determining the
driver-demanded torque and comparing it to an estimate of the actual torque delivered. If the
generated torque exceeds driver demand by a specified amount, the IPC takes appropriate
corrective action.

> Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 2910
ETC System Failure Mode And Effects Management (Part 2)
Since the IPC and the main controller share the same processor, they are subject to a number of
potential common failure modes. The E-Quizzer processor was added to redundantly monitor
selected PCM inputs and to act as an intelligent watchdog and monitor the performance of the IPC
and the main processor. If it determines that the IPC function is impaired in any way, it takes
appropriate failure mode and effects management (FMEM) actions.

Throttle Plate Controller Check Operation
The purpose of the TPPC is to maintain the throttle position at the desired throttle angle. It is a
separate chip embedded in the PCM. The desired angle is communicated from the main CPU via a
312.5 Hz duty cycle (DC) signal. The TPPC interprets the duty cycle signal as follows: Less than 4% - Out of range, limp home default position.
- Greater than or equal to 4% but less than 6% - Commanded default position, closed.
- Greater than or equal to 6% but less than 7% - Commanded default position. Used for key ON,
engine OFF.
- Greater than or equal to 7% but less than 8% - Enable ice breaker mode. Used to clear potential
ice buildup in the throttle body.
- Greater than or equal to 8% but less than 10% - Closed against hard-stop. Used to learn zero
throttle angle position (hard stop) after key-up.
- Greater than or equal to 10% but less than or equal to 92% - Normal operation, between 0
degrees (hard stop) and 82 degrees, 10% duty cycle equals 0 degrees throttle angle, 92% duty
cycle equals 82 degrees throttle angle.
- Greater than 92% but less than or equal to 96% - Wide open throttle, 82 to 86 degrees throttle
angle.
- Greater than 96% but less than or equal to 100% - Out of range, limp home default position.
The desired angle is relative to the hard-stop angle. The hard stop angle is learned during each
key-up process before the main CPU requests the throttle plate be closed against the hard stop.
The output of the TPPC is a voltage request to the H driver (also in PCM). The H driver is capable
of positive or negative voltage to the electronic throttle body motor.

vehicles may exhibit one or more of the following symptoms: drive-away hesitation, loss of RPM on
deceleration, difficulty starting, and/or idle RPM less than desired. Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
may be illuminated with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0506 and/or P0505. These conditions
may appear after battery disconnect, dead battery condition, or keep alive memory (KAM) reset.
The symptoms may be due to engine deposits in the throttle leading to air[low less than desired.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 53.9
and higher or 54.1 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2008.1 DVD.
Calibration files may also be obtained at the website. The calibration contains a sludge
compensation strategy for the throttle body.
2. Turn the key off to re-initialize the PCM. This will allow the sludge compensation strategy to
learn.
3. With the vehicle in park or neutral and A/C off, start vehicle and allow engine to reach normal
operating temperature(greater than 170 °F (77 °C) coolant temperature). Run an additional 5
minutes to allow sufficient learning time.
4. While the engine is running, using IDS datalogger or equivalent, check the PID value of
ETC_TRIM.
a. If ETC_TRIM value is 3.5 degrees, and/or DTC PuSE is present, then replace the electronic
throttle body (ETB), following Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-04B.
b. If ETC_TRIM value is less than 3.5 degrees and DTC PuSE is not present, but driveability
concerns persist, the ETB is not the likely cause of the concern and replacement is not necessary.
Continue with normal PC/ED diagnostics.

NOTE
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A PCM AND TCM REQUIRE COORDINATED REPROGRAMMING.
THIS COORDINATED REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY AS
OUTLINED BY THE IDS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE KEY CYCLE PROCEDURE WITHOUT
WAITING FOR THE IDS PROMPTS, WILL CAUSE THE COORDINATED REPROGRAMMING TO
FAIL. THE PCM WILL BE UPDATED BUT THE 1CM WILL NOT BE UPDATED AND NEW FILES
WILL NOT BE INSTALLED. IT IS CRITICAL TO FOLLOW THE IDS PROMPTS. SOME VEHICLES
MAY REQUIRE SEVERAL DAYS OF DRIVING FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO FULLY ADAPT.
REPROGRAMMING CONCERNS/ERRORS MAY BE CAUSED BY THE DATA LINK
CONNECTOR (DLC) OR VEHICLE COMMUNICATION MODULE (VCM) BECOMING
DISCONNECTED, LOW BATTERIES ON THE INTEGRATED DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (IDS) OR
THE IDS GOING INTO ANY TYPE OF SLEEP MODE, OR LOW VEHICLE BATTERY VOLTAGE.
IF THERE WAS AN INTERRUPTION DURING REPROGRAMMING, MAKE SURE THE
ORIGINAL IDS SESSION THAT WAS CREATED FOR THE VEHICLE IS NOT DELETED. IF THE
ORIGINAL VEHICLE SESSION IS NOT USED OR DELETED BEFORE THE MODULES ARE
COMPLETELY REPROGRAMMED, FURTHER REPROGRAMMING ERRORS CAN OCCUR.
THE MODULE RECOVERY PROCEDURE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND IT IS CRITICAL
THAT MODULE SWAPPING IS NOT PERFORMED FROM VEHICLE TO VEHICLE. TO REGAIN
COMMUNICATION WITH A MODULE THAT HAS BEEN ERASED DURING REPROGRAMMING,
RESUME THE ORIGINAL SESSION ONCE THE IDS IS RE-BOOTED.

vehicles may exhibit one or more of the following symptoms: drive-away hesitation, loss of RPM on
deceleration, difficulty starting, and/or idle RPM less than desired. Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
may be illuminated with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0506 and/or P0505. These conditions
may appear after battery disconnect, dead battery condition, or keep alive memory (KAM) reset.
The symptoms may be due to engine deposits in the throttle leading to air[low less than desired.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 53.9
and higher or 54.1 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2008.1 DVD.
Calibration files may also be obtained at the website. The calibration contains a sludge
compensation strategy for the throttle body.
2. Turn the key off to re-initialize the PCM. This will allow the sludge compensation strategy to
learn.
3. With the vehicle in park or neutral and A/C off, start vehicle and allow engine to reach normal
operating temperature(greater than 170 °F (77 °C) coolant temperature). Run an additional 5
minutes to allow sufficient learning time.
4. While the engine is running, using IDS datalogger or equivalent, check the PID value of
ETC_TRIM.
a. If ETC_TRIM value is 3.5 degrees, and/or DTC PuSE is present, then replace the electronic
throttle body (ETB), following Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-04B.
b. If ETC_TRIM value is less than 3.5 degrees and DTC PuSE is not present, but driveability
concerns persist, the ETB is not the likely cause of the concern and replacement is not necessary.
Continue with normal PC/ED diagnostics.

NOTE
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A PCM AND TCM REQUIRE COORDINATED REPROGRAMMING.
THIS COORDINATED REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY AS
OUTLINED BY THE IDS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE KEY CYCLE PROCEDURE WITHOUT
WAITING FOR THE IDS PROMPTS, WILL CAUSE THE COORDINATED REPROGRAMMING TO
FAIL. THE PCM WILL BE UPDATED BUT THE 1CM WILL NOT BE UPDATED AND NEW FILES
WILL NOT BE INSTALLED. IT IS CRITICAL TO FOLLOW THE IDS PROMPTS. SOME VEHICLES
MAY REQUIRE SEVERAL DAYS OF DRIVING FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO FULLY ADAPT.
REPROGRAMMING CONCERNS/ERRORS MAY BE CAUSED BY THE DATA LINK
CONNECTOR (DLC) OR VEHICLE COMMUNICATION MODULE (VCM) BECOMING
DISCONNECTED, LOW BATTERIES ON THE INTEGRATED DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (IDS) OR
THE IDS GOING INTO ANY TYPE OF SLEEP MODE, OR LOW VEHICLE BATTERY VOLTAGE.
IF THERE WAS AN INTERRUPTION DURING REPROGRAMMING, MAKE SURE THE
ORIGINAL IDS SESSION THAT WAS CREATED FOR THE VEHICLE IS NOT DELETED. IF THE
ORIGINAL VEHICLE SESSION IS NOT USED OR DELETED BEFORE THE MODULES ARE
COMPLETELY REPROGRAMMED, FURTHER REPROGRAMMING ERRORS CAN OCCUR.
THE MODULE RECOVERY PROCEDURE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND IT IS CRITICAL
THAT MODULE SWAPPING IS NOT PERFORMED FROM VEHICLE TO VEHICLE. TO REGAIN
COMMUNICATION WITH A MODULE THAT HAS BEEN ERASED DURING REPROGRAMMING,
RESUME THE ORIGINAL SESSION ONCE THE IDS IS RE-BOOTED.
WARRANTY STATUS: Eligible Under Provisions Of New Vehicle Limited Warranty Coverage And
Emissions Warranty Coverage IMPORTANT: Warranty coverage limits/policies are not altered by a
TSB. Warranty coverage limits are determined by the identified causal part.

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

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Engine Control Module: > 06-21-19 >
Oct > 06 > A/C - Heater Core Electrolysis/Leakage > Page 2937
heater core and install a restrictor in the heater hose closest to the engine block, reference
Workshop Manual, Section 412.
b. If leaks are found in the body of the heater core itself, and does not appear to be the result of
physical damage like contact or puncture, check the coolant for possible electrolysis.
Testing For Electrolysis
Check for voltage in the cooling system by touching the negative contact of a voltmeter to the
battery ground or a known good ground and suspend the positive lead in the coolant, making sure
it is in contact with the coolant but not touching any metal part of the radiator or cooling system.
Both AC and DC voltages must be checked. Vehicles normally have DC voltages; however, a faulty
engine block heater or faulty diode in the alternator can produce AC voltages. It is understood that
coolant is lost due to heater core failure but try to obtain a voltage reading on the old coolant in the
engine block before addition to or replacement of. To keep more coolant from exiting the heater
core clamp off heater core lines and measure coolant in the engine block. Try not to dilute the
original coolant with new coolant during testing if possible.
1. Determine whether coolant condition is acceptable.
a. Remove both cables from the battery and ensure they do not contact each other or the vehicle.
b. Touch negative lead of voltmeter to engine ground and positive lead in the coolant.
NOTE
POSITIVE TEST PROBE IS IN THE COOLANT FOR TESTING.
c. Check the voltage in the cooling system. If less than or equal to 0.4 volts (V) OK, reconnect
battery cables and proceed to Step 2.
d. If greater than 0.4 V, flush cooling system thoroughly.
e. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V.
f. Reconnect battery cables.
g. Refill the system with appropriate Motorcraft® engine coolant.
2. Check for loose or missing grounds at static conditions.
a. Turn off all accessories. Turn ignition on but do not start engine.
b. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.
c. Voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V on all grounds OK.
d. Any one greater than 0.4 V, check and clean ground cable connections.
e. Check accessories without using the on off switch on the vehicle instrument panel, use a jumper
wire to ground.
f. Plug in engine block heater, if equipped, and test.
g. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V.
h. Unplug engine block heater, if equipped.
3. Check for loose, missing, or inadequate grounds.
a. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.
b. Crank engine but do not start.
c. Monitor voltage while cranking. less than or equal to 0.4 V OK
d. If greater than 0.4 V, ground or repair starter.
e. Start engine and run at about 2000 rpm.
f. Turn on all accessories including those customer only uses occasionally such as CB radio, cell
phone, etc.
g. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.

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

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2950
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2951
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2952
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

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

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

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

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3007
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.

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

Information Bus: Description and Operation
COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
Vehicle communication utilizes both medium and high speed controller area network (CAN)
communications. CAN is used for many modules to communicate with each other on a common
network. CAN in-vehicle networking, is a method for transferring data among distributed electronic
modules via a serial data bus. Without serial networking, intermodule communication requires
dedicated, point to point wiring resulting in bulky, expensive, complex, and difficult to install wiring
harnesses. Applying a serial data network reduces the number of wires combining the signals on a
single network. Information is sent to the individual control modules that control each function.
The vehicle has 2 module communication networks:
- Medium speed (MS) CAN
- High speed (HS) CAN
Both networks are connected to the data link connector (DLC). This makes diagnosis and testing of
these systems easier by allowing one scan tool to be able to diagnose and control any module on
both networks from one connector. The DLC can be found under the instrument panel between the
steering column and the audio unit.

Network Topology
MS-CAN Network Operation
The MS-CAN network communicates using bussed messages. The MS-CAN has an unshielded
twisted pair cable, data bus (+) and data bus (-) circuits. In addition to scan tool communication,
this network allows sharing of information between all modules on the network.
The MS-CAN is a medium speed communication network used for the following modules: SJB
- Audio unit
- Instrument cluster
- DSM (if equipped)
- DVD player (if equipped)
- EATC module (if equipped)
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Page 3026
- Parking aid module (if equipped)
- Satellite audio receiver (if equipped)
- Power running board module (if equipped)
HS-CAN Network Operation
The HS-CAN network communicates using bussed messages. The HS-CAN network uses an
unshielded twisted pair cable, data bus (+) and data bus (-) circuits. In addition to scan tool
communication, this network allows sharing of information between all modules on the network.
The HS-CAN is a high speed communication network used for the following modules: PCM
- TCM (if equipped)
- RCM
- ABS module
- Instrument cluster
- Occupant classification sensor module
- 4WD control module (if equipped)
Network Termination
The CAN network uses a network termination circuit to improve communication reliability. The
network termination of the CAN bus takes place inside the termination modules by termination
resistors. Termination modules are located at either end of the bus network. As network messages
are broadcast in the form of voltage signals, the network voltage signals are stabilized by the
termination resistors. Each termination module has a 120ohm resistor across the positive and
negative bus connection in the termination module. With 2 termination modules on each network,
and the 120 ohm resistors located in a parallel circuit configuration, the total network impedance, or
total resistance is 60 ohms.
Network termination improves bus message reliability by: stabilizing bus voltage.
- eliminating electrical interference.
Gateway Module
The instrument cluster is the gateway module, translating HS-CAN to MS-CAN and vice versa. This
information allows a message to be distributed throughout both networks. The instrument cluster is
the only module on this vehicle that has this ability.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Vehicle communication utilizes both medium and high speed controller area network (CAN)
communications. CAN is a method for transferring data among distributed electronic modules via a
serial data bus.
The vehicle is equipped with 2 module communication networks:
- Medium speed (MS) CAN
- High speed (HS) CAN
MS-CAN
The MS-CAN is a medium speed communication network that uses an unshielded twisted pair
cable of data (+) and data (-) circuits. The data (+) and the data (-) circuits are each regulated to
approximately 2.5 volts during neutral or rested network traffic. As bus messages are sent on the
data (+) circuit, voltage is increased by approximately 1.0 volt. Inversely, the data (-) circuit is
reduced by approximately 1.0 volt when a bus message is sent. Multiple bus messages can be
sent over the network CAN circuits allowing multiple modules to communicate with each other. The
MS-CAN network will not communicate while certain faults are present, but will operate with
diminished performance with other faults present. The MS-CAN network may remain operational
when 1 of the 2 termination resistors are not present.
The MS-CAN network operates at a maximum data transfer speed of 125 Kbps for bus messages
and designed for general information transfer. The network will remain operational, but at a
degraded level, when certain circuit faults are present.
The following modules are on the MS-CAN network: Audio unit
- Instrument cluster
- Smart junction box (SJB)
- Parking aid module (if equipped)
- Driver seat module (if equipped
- Satellite radio receiver (if equipped)
- Power running board module (if equipped)
- Digital versatile disc (DVD) player (if equipped)
- Electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) module (if equipped)

HS-CAN network will not communicate while certain faults are present, but will operate with
diminished performance with other faults present. The HS-CAN bus may remain operational when
1 of the 2 termination resistors are not present. The HS-CAN network operates at a maximum data
transfer speed of 500 Kbps and is designed for real time information transfer and control. The
network will remain operational, but at a degraded level, when certain circuit faults are present.

Inspection and Verification
INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION
This provides step-by-step module configuration procedures. Carry out the programmable module
installation (PMI) procedure when another directs to carry out configuration or when DTCs from the
list are present.
Principles of Operation
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Configurable modules accommodate a variety of vehicle options, eliminating the need for many
unique modules for one vehicle line. These modules must be configured when replaced as part of a
repair procedure.
Configurable modules should not be exchanged between vehicles since the settings are unique to
each vehicle. Failure to configure a new module may result in improper operation and/or any of the
following DTCs setting:
- B2477 and/or B2141 - sets when a body/chassis module is not configured.
- B2900 - sets when there is a VIN mismatch between the module with the B2900 and the PCM.
Either the PCM or the body module stored VIN

Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 3036
may be incorrect.
- P0602, P0605 and/or P1639 - sets when the powertrain control module (PCM) vehicle
identification (VID) block is not configured or is configured incorrectly.
- U0300 and/or U0301 - sets when the configuration between 2 or more modules do not match.
- U2050 and/or U2051 - sets when a valid strategy/calibration is not present.
The following are the 3 different methods of configuration:
- Programmable module installation (PMI)
- Module reprogramming ("flashing")
- Programmable parameters
Some modules do not support all 3 methods.
Definition of Terms
The following are definitions of configuration terms:
Programmable Module Installation (PMI) PMI is a scan tool process which configures settings in a
new module. Data used for the PMI process is automatically downloaded from the original module
and stored when a scan tool session is started. If this data cannot be retrieved from the module
being replaced, the scan tool may prompt for As-Built data entry or display a list of parameter
values that need to be manually selected. Some modules are reprogrammed during PMI when a
strategy/calibration update is available.
NOTE: A module must be able to communicate with the scan tool in order to carry out PMI. It is
important that the scan tool identifies the vehicle and obtains configuration data prior to removing
any modules.
To carry out PMI, refer to Programmable Module Installation.
Module Reprogramming Module reprogramming (also referred to as "flashing") is a scan tool
process which updates the strategy/calibration in a module. Module reprogramming is
automatically carried out during PMI when a later strategy/calibration is available. Reprogramming
a module with the same level of software will not improve module operation or repair a hardware
failure.
NOTE: Module reprogramming should be limited to circumstances where a published Technical Service
Bulletin (TSB) procedure recommends doing so.
- A module cannot communicate with other modules on the communication network while being
reprogrammed. Clear any network communication DTCs which may have been set in other
modules during reprogramming.
Programmable Parameters Programmable parameters are customer preference items that may be
modified by the dealer via scan tool or in some cases modified by the customer following a
procedure listed in the vehicle Owner's Literature. While many configuration options may exist for a
module, only a few of these options are programmable parameters.
Adaptive Learning and Calibration
Some modules require a separate learning procedure be carried out if replaced as part of a repair
procedure. For adaptive learning and calibration instructions, refer to the specific module removal
and installation procedures.
Vehicle Identification (VID) Block
Some PCMs contain a memory area called a vehicle identification (VID) block. The PCM VID block
commonly stores powertrain configuration items such as VIN, tire size, axle ratio, and whether or
not the vehicle is equipped with speed control.
As-Built Data
As-Built data is a VIN specific module configuration record. During vehicle build, the configuration
from all modules is downloaded and stored in the As-Built database. As Built data will not reflect
customer preference items that have been changed from the default state. These items will need to
be changed using programmable parameters after the module is configured.
NOTE: It is not necessary to obtain As-Built data unless directed to do so by the scan tool. This
data may be accessed from the technician service publication website.

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

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

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S)
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
The HO2S detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust and produces a variable voltage
according to the amount of oxygen detected. A high concentration of oxygen (lean air/fuel ratio) in
the exhaust produces a voltage signal less than 0.4 volt. A low concentration of oxygen (rich
air/fuel ratio) produces a voltage signal greater than 0.6 volt. The HO2S provides feedback to the
PCM indicating air/fuel ratio in order to achieve a near stoichiometric air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1 during
closed loop engine operation. The HO2S generates a voltage between 0.0 and 1.1 volts.
Embedded with the sensing element is the HO2S heater. The heating element heats the sensor to
a temperature of 800°C (1,472°F). At approximately 300°C (572°F) the engine can enter closed
loop operation. The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater. The PCM turns the heater on by
providing the ground when the correct conditions occur. The heater allows the engine to enter
closed loop operation sooner. The use of this heater requires the HO2S heater control to be duty
cycled, to prevent damage to the heater.

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

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

NOTE:
- The steps included in the SJB removal and installation procedure are critical to restoring the
vehicle security and tire pressure monitoring systems to normal operation. A new SJB is delivered
in manufacturing mode with 6 pre-set diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to the tire pressure
monitoring system. The presence of these DTCs requires the installation procedures be followed in
order to clear the DTCs and enable normal SJB operations.
- Prior to the removal of the SJB, it is necessary to upload the module configuration information to
the diagnostic tool. This information must be downloaded to the new SJB after installation.

Electronic Throttle Control Module: Description and Operation
TORQUE BASED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC)
Overview
The torque based ETC is a hardware and software strategy that delivers an engine output torque
(via throttle angle) based on driver demand (pedal position). It uses an electronic throttle body, the
powertrain control module (PCM), and an accelerator pedal assembly to control the throttle
opening and engine torque. The ETC system replaces the standard cable operated accelerator
pedal, idle air control (IAC) valve, 3-wire throttle position (TP) sensor, and mechanical throttle body.
Torque based ETC enables aggressive automatic transmission shift schedules (earlier upshifts and
later downshifts). This is possible by adjusting the throttle angle to achieve the same wheel torque
during shifts, and by calculating this desired torque, the system prevents engine lugging (low RPM
and low manifold vacuum) while still delivering the performance and torque requested by the driver.
It also enables many fuel economy/emission improvement technologies such as variable camshaft
timing (VCT) (deliver same torque during transitions).
Torque based ETC also results in less intrusive vehicle and engine speed limiting, along with
smoother traction control.
Other benefits of ETC are: eliminate cruise control actuators
- eliminate idle air control (IAC) valve
- better airflow range
- packaging (no cable)
- more responsive powertrain at altitude and improved shift quality
It should be noted that the ETC system illuminates a powertrain malfunction indicator (wrench) on
the instrument cluster when a concern is present. Concerns are accompanied by diagnostic trouble
codes (DTCs) and may also illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
Electronic Throttle Body (ETB)
The ETB has the following characteristics: 1. The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor is a DC
motor controlled by the PCM (requires 2-wires). The gear ratio from the motor to the throttle
plate shaft is 17:1.
2. There are 2 designs: parallel and in-series. The parallel design has the motor under the bore
parallel to the plate shaft. The motor housing is
integrated into the main housing. The in-series design has a separate motor housing.
3. Two springs are used: one is used to close the throttle (main spring) and the other is in a plunger
assembly that results in a default angle when no
power is applied. This is for limp home reasons (the force of the plunger spring is 2 times stronger
than the main spring). The default angle is usually set to result in a top vehicle speed of 48 km/h
(30 mph). Typically this throttle angle is 7 to 8 degrees from the hard-stop angle.
4. The closed throttle plate hard stop is used to prevent the throttle from binding in the bore (~0.75
degree). This hard stop setting is not adjustable
and is set to result in less airflow than the minimum engine airflow required at idle.
5. Unlike cable operated throttle bodies, the intent for the ETB is not to have a hole in the throttle
plate or to use plate sealant. The hole is not
required in the ETB because the required idle airflow is provided by the plate angle in the throttle
body assembly. This plate angle controls idle, idle quality, and eliminates the need for an IAC
valve.
6. The TP sensor has 2 signal circuits in the sensor for redundancy. The redundant throttle position
signals are required for increased monitoring
reasons. The first TP signal (TP1) has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and
the second signal (TP2) has a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal
operation the negative slope TP signal (TP1) is used by the control strategy as the indication of
throttle position. The TP sensor assembly requires 4 circuits. 5-volt reference voltage
- Signal return (ground)
- TP1 voltage with negative voltage slope (5-0 volts)
- TP2 voltage with positive voltage slope (0-5 volts)
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensors

3188
Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) And Accelerator Pedal Assembly
The ETC strategy uses pedal position sensors as an input to determine the driver demand. 1.
There are 3 pedal position signals required for system monitoring. APP1 has a negative slope
(increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and APP2 and
APP3 both have a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation
APP1 is used as the indication of pedal position by the strategy.
2. There are 2 VREF circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 3 signal circuits (a total of 7 circuits and
pins) between the PCM and the APP sensor
assembly. 2 reference voltage circuits (5 volts)
- 2 signal return (ground) circuits
- APP1 voltage with negative voltage slope (5-0 volts)
- APP2 voltage with positive voltage slope (0-5 volts)
- APP3 voltage with positive voltage slope (0-5 volts)
3. The pedal position signal is convened to pedal travel degrees (rotary angle) by the PCM. The
software then converts these degrees to counts,
which is the input to the torque based strategy.
4. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a
concern. The PCM determines if a signal is
incorrect by calculating where it should be, inferred from the other signals. A value is substituted for
an incorrect signal if 2 of the 3 signals are incorrect.

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

3190
ETC System Failure Mode And Effects Management (Part 2)
Since the IPC and the main controller share the same processor, they are subject to a number of
potential common failure modes. The E-Quizzer processor was added to redundantly monitor
selected PCM inputs and to act as an intelligent watchdog and monitor the performance of the IPC
and the main processor. If it determines that the IPC function is impaired in any way, it takes
appropriate failure mode and effects management (FMEM) actions.

Throttle Plate Controller Check Operation
The purpose of the TPPC is to maintain the throttle position at the desired throttle angle. It is a
separate chip embedded in the PCM. The desired angle is communicated from the main CPU via a
312.5 Hz duty cycle (DC) signal. The TPPC interprets the duty cycle signal as follows: Less than 4% - Out of range, limp home default position.
- Greater than or equal to 4% but less than 6% - Commanded default position, closed.
- Greater than or equal to 6% but less than 7% - Commanded default position. Used for key ON,
engine OFF.
- Greater than or equal to 7% but less than 8% - Enable ice breaker mode. Used to clear potential
ice buildup in the throttle body.
- Greater than or equal to 8% but less than 10% - Closed against hard-stop. Used to learn zero
throttle angle position (hard stop) after key-up.
- Greater than or equal to 10% but less than or equal to 92% - Normal operation, between 0
degrees (hard stop) and 82 degrees, 10% duty cycle equals 0 degrees throttle angle, 92% duty
cycle equals 82 degrees throttle angle.
- Greater than 92% but less than or equal to 96% - Wide open throttle, 82 to 86 degrees throttle
angle.
- Greater than 96% but less than or equal to 100% - Out of range, limp home default position.
The desired angle is relative to the hard-stop angle. The hard stop angle is learned during each
key-up process before the main CPU requests the throttle plate be closed against the hard stop.
The output of the TPPC is a voltage request to the H driver (also in PCM). The H driver is capable
of positive or negative voltage to the electronic throttle body motor.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 53.9
and higher or 54.1 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2008.1 DVD.
Calibration files may also be obtained at the website. The calibration contains a sludge
compensation strategy for the throttle body.
2. Turn the key off to re-initialize the PCM. This will allow the sludge compensation strategy to
learn.
3. With the vehicle in park or neutral and A/C off, start vehicle and allow engine to reach normal
operating temperature(greater than 170 °F (77 °C) coolant temperature). Run an additional 5
minutes to allow sufficient learning time.
4. While the engine is running, using IDS datalogger or equivalent, check the PID value of
ETC_TRIM.
a. If ETC_TRIM value is 3.5 degrees, and/or DTC PuSE is present, then replace the electronic
throttle body (ETB), following Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-04B.
b. If ETC_TRIM value is less than 3.5 degrees and DTC PuSE is not present, but driveability
concerns persist, the ETB is not the likely cause of the concern and replacement is not necessary.
Continue with normal PC/ED diagnostics.

NOTE
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A PCM AND TCM REQUIRE COORDINATED REPROGRAMMING.
THIS COORDINATED REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY AS
OUTLINED BY THE IDS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE KEY CYCLE PROCEDURE WITHOUT
WAITING FOR THE IDS PROMPTS, WILL CAUSE THE COORDINATED REPROGRAMMING TO
FAIL. THE PCM WILL BE UPDATED BUT THE 1CM WILL NOT BE UPDATED AND NEW FILES
WILL NOT BE INSTALLED. IT IS CRITICAL TO FOLLOW THE IDS PROMPTS. SOME VEHICLES
MAY REQUIRE SEVERAL DAYS OF DRIVING FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO FULLY ADAPT.
REPROGRAMMING CONCERNS/ERRORS MAY BE CAUSED BY THE DATA LINK
CONNECTOR (DLC) OR VEHICLE COMMUNICATION MODULE (VCM) BECOMING
DISCONNECTED, LOW BATTERIES ON THE INTEGRATED DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (IDS) OR
THE IDS GOING INTO ANY TYPE OF SLEEP MODE, OR LOW VEHICLE BATTERY VOLTAGE.
IF THERE WAS AN INTERRUPTION DURING REPROGRAMMING, MAKE SURE THE
ORIGINAL IDS SESSION THAT WAS CREATED FOR THE VEHICLE IS NOT DELETED. IF THE
ORIGINAL VEHICLE SESSION IS NOT USED OR DELETED BEFORE THE MODULES ARE
COMPLETELY REPROGRAMMED, FURTHER REPROGRAMMING ERRORS CAN OCCUR.
THE MODULE RECOVERY PROCEDURE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND IT IS CRITICAL
THAT MODULE SWAPPING IS NOT PERFORMED FROM VEHICLE TO VEHICLE. TO REGAIN
COMMUNICATION WITH A MODULE THAT HAS BEEN ERASED DURING REPROGRAMMING,
RESUME THE ORIGINAL SESSION ONCE THE IDS IS RE-BOOTED.

FAIL. THE PCM WILL BE UPDATED BUT THE 1CM WILL NOT BE UPDATED AND NEW FILES
WILL NOT BE INSTALLED. IT IS CRITICAL TO FOLLOW THE IDS PROMPTS. SOME VEHICLES
MAY REQUIRE SEVERAL DAYS OF DRIVING FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO FULLY ADAPT.
REPROGRAMMING CONCERNS/ERRORS MAY BE CAUSED BY THE DATA LINK
CONNECTOR (DLC) OR VEHICLE COMMUNICATION MODULE (VCM) BECOMING
DISCONNECTED, LOW BATTERIES ON THE INTEGRATED DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (IDS) OR
THE IDS GOING INTO ANY TYPE OF SLEEP MODE, OR LOW VEHICLE BATTERY VOLTAGE.
IF THERE WAS AN INTERRUPTION DURING REPROGRAMMING, MAKE SURE THE
ORIGINAL IDS SESSION THAT WAS CREATED FOR THE VEHICLE IS NOT DELETED. IF THE
ORIGINAL VEHICLE SESSION IS NOT USED OR DELETED BEFORE THE MODULES ARE
COMPLETELY REPROGRAMMED, FURTHER REPROGRAMMING ERRORS CAN OCCUR.
THE MODULE RECOVERY PROCEDURE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND IT IS CRITICAL
THAT MODULE SWAPPING IS NOT PERFORMED FROM VEHICLE TO VEHICLE. TO REGAIN
COMMUNICATION WITH A MODULE THAT HAS BEEN ERASED DURING REPROGRAMMING,
RESUME THE ORIGINAL SESSION ONCE THE IDS IS RE-BOOTED.
WARRANTY STATUS: Eligible Under Provisions Of New Vehicle Limited Warranty Coverage And
Emissions Warranty Coverage IMPORTANT: Warranty coverage limits/policies are not altered by a
TSB. Warranty coverage limits are determined by the identified causal part.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Instructions > Page 3217
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 3218
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR
The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
torque demand. There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APPS1, has a negative
slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APPS2 and APPS3, both have a
positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APPS1 is used as
the indication of pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM
receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern. There are 2 reference voltage circuits and 2
signal return circuits for the sensor.

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

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

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

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR
Typical Thread Type ECT Sensor
The ECT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance changes the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The ECT measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The PCM uses the ECT input for fuel
control and for cooling fan control. There are 3 types of ECT sensors, threaded, push-in, and
twist-lock. The ECT sensor is located in an engine coolant passage.

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

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

INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR
Typical Stand-Alone/Non-Integrated Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensors
Typical Integrated Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Incorporated Into A Drop-in Or Flange-type
MAF Sensor
The IAT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The electrical
resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and the resistance increases
as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across the sensor
terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The IAT provides air temperature information to the PCM. The PCM uses the air temperature
information as a correction factor in the calculation of fuel, spark, and air flow.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Computers and Control Systems > Intake Air Temperature Sensor > Component Information > Locations > Page 3310
The IAT sensor provides a quicker temperature change response time than the ECT or CHT
sensor.
Currently there are 2 design types of IAT sensors used, a stand-alone/non-integrated type and a
integrated type. Both types function the same, however the integrated type is incorporated into the
mass air flow (MAF) sensor instead of being a stand alone sensor.
Supercharged vehicles use 2 IAT sensors. Both sensors are thermistor type devices and operate
as described. One is located before the supercharger at the air cleaner for standard OBD/cold
weather input, while a second sensor (IAT2) is located after the supercharger in the intake
manifold. The IAT2 sensor located after the supercharger provides air temperature information to
the PCM to control spark and to help determine charge air cooler (CAC) efficiency.

Typical EOT Sensor
The EOT sensor is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The
electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases and the resistance
increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance changes the voltage drop across
the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.

total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The EOT sensor measures the temperature of the engine oil. The sensor is typically threaded into
the engine oil lubrication system. The PCM can use the EOT sensor input to determine the
following:
- On variable camshaft timing (VCT) applications the EOT input is used to adjust the VCT control
gains and logic for camshaft timing.
- The PCM can use EOT sensor input in conjunction with other PCM inputs to determine oil
degradation.
- The PCM can use EOT sensor input to initiate a soft engine shutdown. To prevent engine
damage from occurring as a result of high oil temperatures, the PCM has the ability to initiate a soft
engine shutdown. Whenever engine RPM exceeds a calibrated level for a certain period of time,
the PCM begins reducing power by disabling engine cylinders.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S)
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
The HO2S detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust and produces a variable voltage
according to the amount of oxygen detected. A high concentration of oxygen (lean air/fuel ratio) in
the exhaust produces a voltage signal less than 0.4 volt. A low concentration of oxygen (rich
air/fuel ratio) produces a voltage signal greater than 0.6 volt. The HO2S provides feedback to the
PCM indicating air/fuel ratio in order to achieve a near stoichiometric air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1 during
closed loop engine operation. The HO2S generates a voltage between 0.0 and 1.1 volts.
Embedded with the sensing element is the HO2S heater. The heating element heats the sensor to
a temperature of 800°C (1,472°F). At approximately 300°C (572°F) the engine can enter closed
loop operation. The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater. The PCM turns the heater on by
providing the ground when the correct conditions occur. The heater allows the engine to enter

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

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

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

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

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

^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all closed in PARK. PARK is a good position to check for
intermittent open circuits (with scan tool monitoring TRD).
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all open in OVERDRIVE, so OVERDRIVE is a good position to
check for shorts to ground. To determine the shorted components while observing TRD, unplug the
TR and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present unplug the transmission
harness and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present, then the short is in the
PCM or vehicle harness. Remove the suspect circuit(s) wire terminal from the PCM connector. If
the short is still present, then the PCM has an internal failure, otherwise the failure is in the vehicle
harness.

Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor
Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor
OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED (OSS) SENSOR
The OSS sensor provides the PCM with information about the rotational speed of an output shaft.
The PCM uses the information to control and diagnose powertrain behavior. In some applications,
the sensor is also used as the source of vehicle speed. The sensor may be physically located in
different places on the vehicle, depending upon the specific application. The design of each speed
sensor is unique and depends on which powertrain control feature uses the information that is
generated.

VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR (VSS)
Typical Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The VSS is a variable reluctance or hall-effect sensor that generates a waveform with a frequency
that is proportional to the speed of the vehicle. If the vehicle is moving at a relatively low velocity,
the sensor produces a signal with a low frequency. As the vehicle velocity increases, the sensor
generates a signal with a higher frequency. The PCM uses the frequency signal generated by the
VSS (and other inputs) to control such parameters as fuel injection, ignition control,
transmission/transaxle shift scheduling, and torque converter clutch scheduling.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY (ETB) POSITION SENSOR
The ETB position sensor has 2 signal circuits in the sensor for redundancy. The redundant ETB
position signals are required for increased monitoring. The first ETB position sensor signal (TP1)
has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and the second signal (TP2) has a
positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation the negative slope
ETB position sensor signal (TP1) is used by the control strategy as the indication of throttle
position. The 2 ETB position sensor signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1
signal has a concern. There is 1 reference voltage circuit and 1 signal return circuit for the sensor.

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

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

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

^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all closed in PARK. PARK is a good position to check for
intermittent open circuits (with scan tool monitoring TRD).
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all open in OVERDRIVE, so OVERDRIVE is a good position to
check for shorts to ground. To determine the shorted components while observing TRD, unplug the
TR and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present unplug the transmission
harness and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present, then the short is in the
PCM or vehicle harness. Remove the suspect circuit(s) wire terminal from the PCM connector. If
the short is still present, then the PCM has an internal failure, otherwise the failure is in the vehicle
harness.

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

Component Information > Diagrams > Page 3451
5. When the VCT solenoid is energized, engine oil is allowed to flow to the VCT actuator assembly
which advances or retards the camshaft timing.
One half of the VCT actuator is coupled to the camshaft and the other half is connected to the
timing chain. Oil chambers between the 2 halves couple the camshaft to the timing chain. When
the flow of oil is shifted from one side of the chamber to the other, the differential change in oil
pressure forces the camshaft to rotate in either an advance or retard position depending on the oil
flow.

OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED (OSS) SENSOR
The OSS sensor provides the PCM with information about the rotational speed of an output shaft.
The PCM uses the information to control and diagnose powertrain behavior. In some applications,
the sensor is also used as the source of vehicle speed. The sensor may be physically located in
different places on the vehicle, depending upon the specific application. The design of each speed
sensor is unique and depends on which powertrain control feature uses the information that is
generated.

VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR (VSS)
Typical Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The VSS is a variable reluctance or hall-effect sensor that generates a waveform with a frequency
that is proportional to the speed of the vehicle. If the vehicle is moving at a relatively low velocity,
the sensor produces a signal with a low frequency. As the vehicle velocity increases, the sensor
generates a signal with a higher frequency. The PCM uses the frequency signal generated by the
VSS (and other inputs) to control such parameters as fuel injection, ignition control,
transmission/transaxle shift scheduling, and torque converter clutch scheduling.

The secondary AIR diverter valve is used with the secondary AIR pump to provide on/off control of
air to the exhaust manifold and catalytic converter. When the secondary AIR pump is on and
vacuum is supplied to the AIR diverter valve, air passes the integral check valve disk. When the
secondary AIR pump is off, and vacuum is removed from the AIR diverter valve, the integral check
valve disk is held on the seat and stops air from being drawn into the exhaust system and prevents
the back flow of the exhaust into the secondary AIR system.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation
CATALYST AND EXHAUST SYSTEMS
Overview
V-Engines
In-Line Engines
The catalytic converter and exhaust Systems work together to control the release of harmful engine
exhaust emissions into the atmosphere. The engine exhaust gas consists mainly of nitrogen (N),
carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O) However, it also contains carbon monoxide (CO),
oxides of nitrogen (NOx), hydrogen (H), and various unburned hydrocarbons (HCs). The major air
pollutants of CO, NOx, and HCs, and their emission into the atmosphere must be controlled.
The exhaust system generally consists of an exhaust manifold, front exhaust pipe, front heated
oxygen sensor (HO2S), rear exhaust pipe, catalyst HO2S, a muffler, and an exhaust tailpipe. The
catalytic converter is typically installed between the front and rear exhaust pipes. On some vehicle
applications, more than one catalyst is used between the front and rear exhaust pipes. Catalytic
converter efficiency is monitored by the on board diagnostic (OBD) system strategy in the PCM.
For information on the OBD catalyst monitor, refer to the description for the Catalyst Efficiency
Monitor. See: Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Monitors, Trips, Drive
Cycles and Readiness Codes/Monitors/Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
The number of HO2Ss used in the exhaust stream and the location of these sensors depend on the
vehicle emission certification level (LEV, LEV-II, ULEV, PZEV). On most vehicles only 2 HO2Ss are
used in an exhaust stream. The front sensors (HO2S11/HO2S21) before the catalyst are used for
primary fuel control while the ones after the catalyst (HO2S12/HO2S22) are used to monitor
catalyst efficiency. However, some partial zero emission vehicles (PZEV) use 3 HO2Ss for each
engine bank. The stream 1 sensors (HO2S11/HO2S21) located before the catalyst are used for
primary fuel control, the stream 2 sensors (HO2S12/HO2S22) are used to monitor the light-off
catalyst, and the stream 3 sensors (HO2S13/HO2S23) located after the catalyst are used for long
term fuel trim control to optimize catalyst efficiency (fore aft oxygen sensor control). Current PZEV
vehicles use only a 4-cylinder engine, so only the bank 1 HO2Ss are used.
Catalytic Converter
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Catalytic Converter > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Page 3474
A catalyst is a material that remains unchanged when it initiates and increases the speed of a
chemical reaction. A catalyst also enables a chemical reaction to occur at a lower temperature. The
concentration of exhaust gas products released to the atmosphere must be controlled. The
catalytic converter assists in this task. It contains a catalyst in the form of a specially treated
ceramic honeycomb structure saturated with catalytically active precious metals. As the exhaust
gases come in contact with the catalyst, they are changed into mostly harmless products. The
catalyst initiates and speeds up heat producing chemical reactions of the exhaust gas components
so they are used up as much as possible.
Light Off Catalyst
As the catalyst heats up, converter efficiency rises rapidly. The point at which conversion efficiency
exceeds 50% is called catalyst light off. For most catalysts this point occurs at 246°C to 302°C
(475°F to 575°F). A fast light catalyst is a 3-way catalyst (TWC) that is located as close to the
exhaust manifold as possible. Because the light off catalyst is located close to the exhaust manifold
it lights off faster and reduces emissions more quickly than the catalyst located under the body.
Once the catalyst lights off, the catalyst quickly reaches the maximum conversion efficiency for that
catalyst.
Three-Way Catalyst (TWC) Conversion Efficiency
TWC Conversion Efficiency Chart
A TWC requires a stoichiometric fuel ratio, 14.7 pounds of air to 1 pound of fuel (14.7:1), for high
conversion efficiency. In order to achieve these high efficiencies, the air/fuel ratio must be tightly
controlled with a narrow window of stoichiometry. Deviations outside of this window greatly
decrease the conversion efficiency. For example a rich mixture decreases the HC and CO
conversion efficiency while a lean mixture decreases the NOx conversion efficiency.
Exhaust System
Typical Bank 1 Catalyst 2 HO2S Configuration

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Catalytic Converter > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Page 3475
Typical Bank 1 Catalyst 3 HO2S Configuration
The purpose of the exhaust system is to convey engine emissions from the exhaust manifold to the
atmosphere. Engine exhaust emissions are directed from the engine exhaust manifold to the
catalytic converter through the front exhaust pipe. A HO2S is mounted on the front exhaust pipe
before the catalyst. The catalytic converter reduces the concentration of CO, unburned HCs, and
NOx in the exhaust emissions to an acceptable level. The reduced exhaust emissions are directed
from the catalytic converter past another HO2S mounted in the rear exhaust pipe and then on into
the muffler. Finally, the exhaust emissions are directed to the atmosphere through an exhaust
tailpipe.
On some PZEV, there is a total of 3 HO2S in the exhaust stream. One near the exhaust manifold
(stream 1), one in the middle of the light-off catalyst (stream 2), and the third (stream 3) is mounted
after the light-off catalyst.
Underbody Catalyst
The underbody catalyst is located after the light off catalyst. The underbody catalyst may be in line
with the light off catalyst, or the underbody catalyst may be common to 2 light off catalysts, forming
a Y pipe configuration. For an exact configuration of the catalyst and exhaust system for a specific
vehicle, refer to Catalytic Converter, Exhaust System.
Three-Way Catalytic (TWC) Converter
The TWC converter contains either platinum (Pt) and rhodium (Rh) or palladium (Pd) and rhodium
(Rh). The TWC converter catalyzes the oxidation reactions of unburned HCs and CO and the
reduction reaction of NOx. The 3-way conversion can be best accomplished by always operating
the engine air fuel/ratio at or close to stoichiometry.
Exhaust Manifold Runners
The exhaust manifold runners collect exhaust gases from engine cylinders. The number of exhaust
manifolds and exhaust manifold runners depends on the engine configuration and number of
cylinders.
Exhaust Pipes
Exhaust pipes are usually treated during manufacturing with an anti-corrosive coating agent to
increase the life of the product. The pipes serve as guides for the flow of exhaust gases from the
engine exhaust manifold through the catalytic converter and the muffler.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
The HO2Ss provide the powertrain control module (PCM) with voltage and frequency information
related to the oxygen content of the exhaust gas.
Muffler
Mufflers are usually treated during manufacturing with an anti-corrosive coating agent to increase.
the life of the product. The muffler reduces the level of noise produced by the engine, and also
reduces the noise produced by exhaust gases as they travel from the catalytic converter to the
atmosphere.

disc to regulate the vacuum. As the duty cycle to the coil increases, the vacuum signal passed
through the solenoid to the EGR valve also increases. Vacuum not directed to the EGR valve is
vented through the solenoid vent to atmosphere. Note that at 0% duty cycle (no electrical signal
applied), the EGR vacuum regulator solenoid allows some vacuum to pass, but not enough to open

ESM
The ESM is an integrated differential pressure feedback EGR system that functions in the same
manner as a conventional differential pressure feedback EGR system. The various system
components have been integrated into a single component called the ESM. The flange of the valve
portion of the ESM bolts directly to the intake manifold with a metal gasket that forms the metering
orifice. This arrangement increases system reliability, response time, and system precision. By
relocating the EGR orifice from the exhaust to the intake side of the EGR valve, the downstream
pressure signal measures manifold absolute pressure (MAP). This MAP signal is used for EGR
correction and inferred barometric pressure (BARO) at key on. The system provides the powertrain
control module (PCM) with a differential pressure feedback EGR signal, identical to a traditional
differential pressure feedback EGR system.

Typical EGR Valve
EGR Flowrate
The EGR valve in the differential pressure feedback EGR system is a conventional,
vacuum-actuated. The valve increases or decreases the flow of EGR. As vacuum applied to the
EGR valve diaphragm overcomes the spring force, the valve begins to open. As the vacuum signal
weakens, at 5.4 kPa (1.6 in-Hg) or less, the spring force closes the valve. The EGR valve is fully
open at about 15 kPa (4.5 in-Hg).
Since EGR flow requirement varies greatly, providing repair specifications on flow rate is
impractical. The on board diagnostic (OBD) system monitors the EGR valve function and triggers a
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) if the test criteria is not met. The EGR valve flow rate is not
measured directly as part of the diagnostic procedures.

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Air Flow Meter/Sensor >
Component Information > Locations > Page 3575
Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

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

Fuel Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
FUEL RAIL PRESSURE (FRP) SENSOR
Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
The FRP sensor is a diaphragm strain gauge device in which resistance changes with pressure.
The electrical resistance of a strain gauge increases as pressure increases, and the resistance
decreases as the pressure decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across the
sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to pressure.
Strain gauge type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The FRP sensor measures the pressure of the fuel near the fuel injectors. This signal is used by
the PCM to adjust the fuel injector pulse width and meter fuel to each engine combustion cylinder.

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

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

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

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

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Sensors and Switches - Fuel
Delivery and Air Induction > Air Flow Meter/Sensor > Component Information > Locations > Page 3768
Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

Pressure (FRP) Sensor
Fuel Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
FUEL RAIL PRESSURE (FRP) SENSOR
Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
The FRP sensor is a diaphragm strain gauge device in which resistance changes with pressure.
The electrical resistance of a strain gauge increases as pressure increases, and the resistance
decreases as the pressure decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across the
sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to pressure.
Strain gauge type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The FRP sensor measures the pressure of the fuel near the fuel injectors. This signal is used by
the PCM to adjust the fuel injector pulse width and meter fuel to each engine combustion cylinder.

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

Variable Induction Control Actuator: Description and Operation
INTAKE MANIFOLD TUNING VALVE (IMTV)
WARNING: Substantial opening and closing torque is applied by this system. To prevent injury, be
careful to keep fingers away from lever mechanisms when actuated.
The IMTV is a motorized actuated unit mounted directly to the intake manifold. The IMTV actuator
controls a shutter device attached to the actuator shaft. There is no monitor input to the PCM with
this system to indicate shutter position.
The motorized IMTV unit is not energized below approximately 2,600 RPM. The shutter is in the
closed position not allowing airflow blend to occur in the intake manifold. The motorized unit is
energized above approximately 2,600 RPM. The motorized unit is commanded on by the PCM
initially at a 100 percent duty cycle to move the shutter to the open position, and then falling to
approximately 50 percent to continue to hold the shutter open.

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

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

Ignition Coil: Description and Operation
COIL ON PLUG (COP)
Typical Coil On Plug (COP)
The COP ignition operates similar to a standard coil pack ignition except each plug has one coil per
plug. The COP has 3 different modes of operation: engine crank, engine running, and CMP failure
mode effects management (FMEM).
COIL PACK
Typical Four-Tower Coil Pack
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Ignition Coil > Component Information > Diagrams
> Page 3857
Typical Six-Tower Coil Pack
The PCM provides a grounding switch for the coil primary circuit. When the switch is closed,
voltage is applied to the coil primary circuit. This creates a magnetic field around the primary coil.
The PCM opens the switch, causing the magnetic field to collapse, inducing the high voltage in the
secondary coil windings and firing the spark plug. The spark plugs are paired so that as one spark
plug fires on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next
time the coil is fired the order is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine
firing order.
Coil packs come in 4-tower, 6-tower horizontal and series 5 6-tower models. Two adjacent coil
towers share a common coil and are called a matched pair. For 6-tower coil pack (6 cylinder)
applications, the matched pairs are 1 and 5, 2 and 6, and 3 and 4. For 4-tower coil pack (4 cylinder)
applications, the matched pairs are 1 and 4, and 2 and 3.
When the coil is fired by the PCM, spark is delivered through the matched pair towers to their
respective spark plugs. The spark plugs are fired simultaneously and are paired so that as one fires
on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next time the coil
is fired, the situation is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine firing
order.

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection
Spark Plug Inspection
1. Inspect the spark plug for a bridged gap.
^ Check for deposit build-up closing the gap between the electrodes. Deposits are caused by oil or
carbon fouling.
^ Clean the spark plug.
2. Check for oil fouling.
^ Check for wet, black deposits on the insulator shell bore electrodes, caused by excessive oil
entering the combustion chamber through worn rings and pistons, excessive valve-to-guide
clearance or worn or loose bearings.
^ Correct the oil leak concern.
^ Install a new spark plug.
3. Inspect for carbon fouling. Look for black, dry, fluffy carbon deposits on the insulator tips,
exposed shell surfaces and electrodes, caused by a
spark plug with an incorrect heat range, dirty air cleaner, too rich a fuel mixture or excessive idling.
^
Clean the spark plug.
4. Inspect for normal burning.
^ Check for light tan or gray deposits on the firing tip.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Spark Plug > Component Information >
Specifications > Page 3907
5. Inspect for pre-ignition, identified by melted electrodes and a possibly damaged insulator.
Metallic deposits on the insulator indicate engine
damage. This may be caused by incorrect ignition timing, wrong type of fuel or the unauthorized
installation of a heli-coil insert in place of the spark plug threads. ^
Install a new spark plug.
6. Inspect for overheating, identified by white or light gray spots and with bluish-burnt appearance
of electrodes. This is caused by engine
overheating, wrong type of fuel, loose spark plugs, spark plugs with an incorrect heat range, low
fuel pump pressure or incorrect ignition timing. ^
Install a new spark plug.
7. Inspect for fused deposits, identified by melted or spotty deposits resembling bubbles or blisters.
These are caused by sudden acceleration.
^ Clean the spark plug.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3982
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3983
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3984
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

Brake Switch - TCC: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.

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

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

Throttle Position Sensor/Switch: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4125
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4126
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4127
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.

Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in

^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all closed in PARK. PARK is a good position to check for
intermittent open circuits (with scan tool monitoring TRD).
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all open in OVERDRIVE, so OVERDRIVE is a good position to
check for shorts to ground. To determine the shorted components while observing TRD, unplug the
TR and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present unplug the transmission
harness and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present, then the short is in the
PCM or vehicle harness. Remove the suspect circuit(s) wire terminal from the PCM connector. If
the short is still present, then the PCM has an internal failure, otherwise the failure is in the vehicle
harness.

Transmission Speed Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4160
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4161
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4162
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4197
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4198
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4199
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

may appear after battery disconnect, dead battery condition, or keep alive memory (KAM) reset.
The symptoms may be due to engine deposits in the throttle leading to air[low less than desired.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 53.9
and higher or 54.1 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2008.1 DVD.
Calibration files may also be obtained at the website. The calibration contains a sludge
compensation strategy for the throttle body.
2. Turn the key off to re-initialize the PCM. This will allow the sludge compensation strategy to
learn.
3. With the vehicle in park or neutral and A/C off, start vehicle and allow engine to reach normal
operating temperature(greater than 170 °F (77 °C) coolant temperature). Run an additional 5
minutes to allow sufficient learning time.
4. While the engine is running, using IDS datalogger or equivalent, check the PID value of
ETC_TRIM.
a. If ETC_TRIM value is 3.5 degrees, and/or DTC PuSE is present, then replace the electronic
throttle body (ETB), following Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-04B.
b. If ETC_TRIM value is less than 3.5 degrees and DTC PuSE is not present, but driveability
concerns persist, the ETB is not the likely cause of the concern and replacement is not necessary.
Continue with normal PC/ED diagnostics.

NOTE
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A PCM AND TCM REQUIRE COORDINATED REPROGRAMMING.
THIS COORDINATED REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY AS
OUTLINED BY THE IDS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE KEY CYCLE PROCEDURE WITHOUT
WAITING FOR THE IDS PROMPTS, WILL CAUSE THE COORDINATED REPROGRAMMING TO
FAIL. THE PCM WILL BE UPDATED BUT THE 1CM WILL NOT BE UPDATED AND NEW FILES
WILL NOT BE INSTALLED. IT IS CRITICAL TO FOLLOW THE IDS PROMPTS. SOME VEHICLES
MAY REQUIRE SEVERAL DAYS OF DRIVING FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO FULLY ADAPT.
REPROGRAMMING CONCERNS/ERRORS MAY BE CAUSED BY THE DATA LINK
CONNECTOR (DLC) OR VEHICLE COMMUNICATION MODULE (VCM) BECOMING
DISCONNECTED, LOW BATTERIES ON THE INTEGRATED DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (IDS) OR
THE IDS GOING INTO ANY TYPE OF SLEEP MODE, OR LOW VEHICLE BATTERY VOLTAGE.
IF THERE WAS AN INTERRUPTION DURING REPROGRAMMING, MAKE SURE THE
ORIGINAL IDS SESSION THAT WAS CREATED FOR THE VEHICLE IS NOT DELETED. IF THE
ORIGINAL VEHICLE SESSION IS NOT USED OR DELETED BEFORE THE MODULES ARE
COMPLETELY REPROGRAMMED, FURTHER REPROGRAMMING ERRORS CAN OCCUR.
THE MODULE RECOVERY PROCEDURE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND IT IS CRITICAL
THAT MODULE SWAPPING IS NOT PERFORMED FROM VEHICLE TO VEHICLE. TO REGAIN
COMMUNICATION WITH A MODULE THAT HAS BEEN ERASED DURING REPROGRAMMING,
RESUME THE ORIGINAL SESSION ONCE THE IDS IS RE-BOOTED.

ISSUE
Some 2006-2008 Explorer 4dr, Mountaineer and 2007-2008 Explorer Sport Trac vehicles equipped
with 6R60 transmission may exhibit a bump feeling while braking to a stop less than 10 MPH (16
Km/h). Some vehicles built prior to 05/4/2006 may exhibit the following symptoms:
^ Delayed engagements into Drive from Park Neutral or Reverse.
^ Hesitation upon tip-in after braking to a stop.
This fixes the bump while braking to a stop, improves the delayed engagements and reduces the
incidence of tip-in hesitation while accelerating from a stop.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to reprogram the transmission control module (1CM)
and the powertrain control module (PCM). Some tip-in hesitation is normal on this transmission in
order to provide smooth operation. This calibration update will help to improve the condition. The
harsh bump while braking to a stop will be eliminated. Several days of driving may be required for
the transmission to fully adapt.

vehicles may exhibit one or more of the following symptoms: drive-away hesitation, loss of RPM on
deceleration, difficulty starting, and/or idle RPM less than desired. Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
may be illuminated with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0506 and/or P0505. These conditions
may appear after battery disconnect, dead battery condition, or keep alive memory (KAM) reset.
The symptoms may be due to engine deposits in the throttle leading to air[low less than desired.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 53.9
and higher or 54.1 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2008.1 DVD.
Calibration files may also be obtained at the website. The calibration contains a sludge
compensation strategy for the throttle body.
2. Turn the key off to re-initialize the PCM. This will allow the sludge compensation strategy to
learn.
3. With the vehicle in park or neutral and A/C off, start vehicle and allow engine to reach normal
operating temperature(greater than 170 °F (77 °C) coolant temperature). Run an additional 5
minutes to allow sufficient learning time.
4. While the engine is running, using IDS datalogger or equivalent, check the PID value of
ETC_TRIM.
a. If ETC_TRIM value is 3.5 degrees, and/or DTC PuSE is present, then replace the electronic
throttle body (ETB), following Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-04B.
b. If ETC_TRIM value is less than 3.5 degrees and DTC PuSE is not present, but driveability
concerns persist, the ETB is not the likely cause of the concern and replacement is not necessary.
Continue with normal PC/ED diagnostics.

NOTE
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A PCM AND TCM REQUIRE COORDINATED REPROGRAMMING.
THIS COORDINATED REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY AS
OUTLINED BY THE IDS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE KEY CYCLE PROCEDURE WITHOUT
WAITING FOR THE IDS PROMPTS, WILL CAUSE THE COORDINATED REPROGRAMMING TO
FAIL. THE PCM WILL BE UPDATED BUT THE 1CM WILL NOT BE UPDATED AND NEW FILES
WILL NOT BE INSTALLED. IT IS CRITICAL TO FOLLOW THE IDS PROMPTS. SOME VEHICLES
MAY REQUIRE SEVERAL DAYS OF DRIVING FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO FULLY ADAPT.
REPROGRAMMING CONCERNS/ERRORS MAY BE CAUSED BY THE DATA LINK
CONNECTOR (DLC) OR VEHICLE COMMUNICATION MODULE (VCM) BECOMING
DISCONNECTED, LOW BATTERIES ON THE INTEGRATED DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (IDS) OR
THE IDS GOING INTO ANY TYPE OF SLEEP MODE, OR LOW VEHICLE BATTERY VOLTAGE.
IF THERE WAS AN INTERRUPTION DURING REPROGRAMMING, MAKE SURE THE
ORIGINAL IDS SESSION THAT WAS CREATED FOR THE VEHICLE IS NOT DELETED. IF THE
ORIGINAL VEHICLE SESSION IS NOT USED OR DELETED BEFORE THE MODULES ARE
COMPLETELY REPROGRAMMED, FURTHER REPROGRAMMING ERRORS CAN OCCUR.
THE MODULE RECOVERY PROCEDURE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND IT IS CRITICAL
THAT MODULE SWAPPING IS NOT PERFORMED FROM VEHICLE TO VEHICLE. TO REGAIN
COMMUNICATION WITH A MODULE THAT HAS BEEN ERASED DURING REPROGRAMMING,
RESUME THE ORIGINAL SESSION ONCE THE IDS IS RE-BOOTED.

ISSUE
Some 2006-2008 Explorer 4dr, Mountaineer and 2007-2008 Explorer Sport Trac vehicles equipped
with 6R60 transmission may exhibit a bump feeling while braking to a stop less than 10 MPH (16
Km/h). Some vehicles built prior to 05/4/2006 may exhibit the following symptoms:
^ Delayed engagements into Drive from Park Neutral or Reverse.
^ Hesitation upon tip-in after braking to a stop.
This fixes the bump while braking to a stop, improves the delayed engagements and reduces the
incidence of tip-in hesitation while accelerating from a stop.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to reprogram the transmission control module (1CM)
and the powertrain control module (PCM). Some tip-in hesitation is normal on this transmission in
order to provide smooth operation. This calibration update will help to improve the condition. The
harsh bump while braking to a stop will be eliminated. Several days of driving may be required for
the transmission to fully adapt.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

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

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

Shift Solenoid: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Instructions > Page 4325
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4326
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4327
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust

Shift Solenoid: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Actuators and Solenoids A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4417
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Actuators and Solenoids A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4418
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Actuators and Solenoids A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4419
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.

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

with a 5R55S, 5R55W, and 5R55N transmission may experience shifting concerns. A loss of 2nd,
3rd and 5th gear, may have overdrive band or intermediate band failures due to servo pin case
bore wear causing reduced apply pressure.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
For transmissions that have been determined to require an overhaul or rebuild and the overdrive
band or intermediate band have excessive wear or burned/damaged band friction material, the
cause maybe excessive servo pin case bore wear generally found on higher mileage vehicles,
usually accompanied with incorrect ratio diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), condition becomes
worse when hot. (Figure 1)
In our instructions, when we refer to the overdrive bore, we are talking about the smaller bore
located closest to the bell housing. When we refer to the intermediate bore, we are talking about
the larger bore located next to the line pressure tap.
Inspect and repair the worn-damaged transmission case servo pin bore utilizing the Rotunda Tool
5RW Master Kit part number NRL5RW servo pin bore repair system (1-800-768-8632 option 6).

Brake Switch - TCC: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

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

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

Lincoln LS, 2005-2009 Mustang, 2002-2005 Thunderbird and 2003-2005 Aviator vehicles equipped
with a 5R55S, 5R55W, and 5R55N transmission may experience shifting concerns. A loss of 2nd,
3rd and 5th gear, may have overdrive band or intermediate band failures due to servo pin case
bore wear causing reduced apply pressure.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
For transmissions that have been determined to require an overhaul or rebuild and the overdrive
band or intermediate band have excessive wear or burned/damaged band friction material, the
cause maybe excessive servo pin case bore wear generally found on higher mileage vehicles,
usually accompanied with incorrect ratio diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), condition becomes
worse when hot. (Figure 1)
In our instructions, when we refer to the overdrive bore, we are talking about the smaller bore
located closest to the bell housing. When we refer to the intermediate bore, we are talking about
the larger bore located next to the line pressure tap.
Inspect and repair the worn-damaged transmission case servo pin bore utilizing the Rotunda Tool
5RW Master Kit part number NRL5RW servo pin bore repair system (1-800-768-8632 option 6).

CAUTION: Whenever a transmission has been disassembled to install new parts or a new or
remanufactured transmission has been installed, a new transmission fluid cooler, either in-tank,
auxiliary or oil to air (OTA), if equipped will need to be installed. Using a suitable torque
converter/fluid cooler cleaner, clean and backflush the transmission fluid cooler tubes.
CAUTION: Do not use water-based cleaners, mineral spirits, brake cleaner or solvents that may
contain acetone, xylene or heptane to clean and/or flush the transmission assembly, transmission
components and the torque converter or transmission damage will occur. Use only clean
transmission fluid designated for the transmission/converter being serviced.
When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transmission, metal particles, clutch plate
material or band material may have been carried into the transmission fluid cooler. These
contaminants are a major cause of recurring transmission concerns and must be removed from the
system before the transmission is put back in use.
1. Conduct backflushing with a suitable torque converter/transmission fluid cooler cleaner. Test the
equipment to make sure that a vigorous fluid
flow is present before proceeding. Install a new system filter if flow is weak or contaminated.
2. Remove and discard the in-line transmission fluid filter, if equipped.
3. To aid in attaching the cleaner to the transmission steel cooler lines, connect 2 additional rubber
hoses to the transmission end of the steel
transmission cooler lines as described. ^
Connect the cleaner tank pressure line to the steel transmission cooler return line (longest line).
^ Connect a tank return hose to the steel transmission cooler pressure line (shorter line). Place the
outlet end of this hose in the solvent tank reservoir.
4. Turn on the pump and allow the transmission fluid to circulate a minimum of 5 minutes (cycling
switch on and off will help dislodge
contaminants in the cooler system).

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.

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

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

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

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located

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

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Wiggle Test Information for Open/Shorts
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all closed in PARK. PARK is a good position to check for
intermittent open circuits (with scan tool monitoring TRD).
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all open in OVERDRIVE, so OVERDRIVE is a good position to
check for shorts to ground. To determine the shorted components while observing TRD, unplug the
TR and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present unplug the transmission
harness and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present, then the short is in the
PCM or vehicle harness. Remove the suspect circuit(s) wire terminal from the PCM connector. If
the short is still present, then the PCM has an internal failure, otherwise the failure is in the vehicle
harness.

Transmission Speed Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be

Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Instructions > Page 4855
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

> Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4856
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

> Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4857
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

Shift Solenoid: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4884
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.

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

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Sensor/Switch, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5008
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.

Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

Transmission Fluid Cooler Flow Test
CAUTION: Whenever a transmission has been disassembled to install new parts or a new or
remanufactured transmission has been installed, a new transmission fluid cooler (either in-tank,
auxiliary or OTA) if equipped, will need to be installed. Using a suitable torque converter/fluid cooler
cleaner, clean and backflush the transmission fluid cooler tubes.
CAUTION: Use only clean automatic transmission fluid specified for this transmission. Do not use
supplemental fluid additives, treatments or cleaning agents. The use of these materials may affect
transmission operation and result in internal damage to the transmission.
CAUTION: When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transmission, metal particles, clutch
plate material or band material may have been carried into the transmission fluid cooler.
These contaminants are a major cause of recurring transmission concerns and must be removed
from the system before the transmission is put back into use.
When evidence of transmission fluid contamination (such as metal particles, clutch plate material or
band material) is found in the cooling system, the transmission fluid cooler flow test should be
carried out.
If the transmission cooling system fails the transmission fluid cooler flow test, install a new
transmission fluid cooler and flush out the fluid cooler lines. If installing a new transmission fluid
cooler, use only factory approved components.
CAUTION: The transmission fluid must be at normal operating temperature 85°C - 93°C (185°F 200°F) to make sure that the cooler bypass is open. The cooler bypass is located in the main
control valve body. The transmission fluid at normal operating temperature will be hot.
NOTE: The engine idle, transmission linkage/cable adjustment, fluid level and line pressure must
be within specification before carrying out this test. For information on engine idle diagnosis, refer
to Computers and Control Systems. For information on fluid level check, refer to Transmission
Fluid Level Check. See: Fluid - A/T/Service and Repair/Transmission Fluid Level Check
1. Place the transmission range selector lever into PARK. 2. Raise the vehicle on a hoist and place
suitable safety stands under the vehicle. Refer to Maintenance/Service and Repair. 3. Hold the

4. Install the special tool into the pan.
5. Remove the cooler return line (upper line) from the fitting on the transmission case.
6. Connect one end of a clear hose to the cooler return line and route the other end of the hose to
the special tool in the pan.
7. Remove the safety stands and lower the vehicle. 8. Start the engine and run at idle. 9. With the
engine running, raise the vehicle on a hoist and place suitable safety stands under the vehicle.
Refer to Maintenance/Service and Repair.
10. Monitor the transmission fluid temperature to make sure that the transmission fluid is at normal
operating temperature 85°C - 93°C (185°F - 200°
F).
11. Once a steady flow of fluid (without air bubbles) is observed, remove the hose from the special
tool and place the hose in a measuring container
for 15 seconds. After 15 seconds, place the hose back onto the special tool. Lower the vehicle and
turn the engine OFF. Measure the amount of fluid in the container. If adequate flow was observed,
approximately 208 ml (7 oz) will be in the measuring container. The test is complete. Reconnect
the cooler line and install the fluid fill plug.

12. If the flow is not liberal, disconnect the hose from the cooler return line and connect the hose to
the cooler inlet (lower fitting) on the transmission
case. Reconnect the cooler return line to the case (upper fitting). ^
Tighten to 40 Nm (30 ft. lbs.)
13. Repeat Steps 8 through 11. If flow is now approximately 208 ml (7 oz) in 15 seconds, the cooler
lines and auxiliary cooler must be cleaned.
Carry out this entire test after the backflushing and cleaning procedure. If, after carrying out the
backflushing and cleaning procedure, the flow is still not adequate, new cooler lines and/or an
auxiliary cooler must be installed. If the flow from the case is still not adequate after the installation
of new cooler lines and/or an auxiliary cooler (208 ml [7 oz] in 15 seconds), the pump and/or torque
converter may be at fault. Carry out the appropriate procedures for diagnosis and repair.

Transmission Fluid Cooler - Backflushing and Cleaning
Material
CAUTION: Whenever a transmission has been disassembled to install new parts or a new or
remanufactured transmission has been installed, a new transmission fluid cooler, either in-tank,
auxiliary or oil to air (OTA), if equipped will need to be installed. Using a suitable torque
converter/fluid cooler cleaner, clean and backflush the transmission fluid cooler tubes.
CAUTION: Do not use water-based cleaners, mineral spirits, brake cleaner or solvents that may
contain acetone, xylene or heptane to clean and/or flush the transmission assembly, transmission
components and the torque converter or transmission damage will occur. Use only clean
transmission fluid designated for the transmission/converter being serviced.
When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transmission, metal particles, clutch plate
material or band material may have been carried into the transmission fluid cooler. These
contaminants are a major cause of recurring transmission concerns and must be removed from the
system before the transmission is put back in use.
1. Conduct backflushing with a suitable torque converter/transmission fluid cooler cleaner. Test the
equipment to make sure that a vigorous fluid
flow is present before proceeding. Install a new system filter if flow is weak or contaminated.
2. Remove and discard the in-line transmission fluid filter, if equipped.
3. To aid in attaching the cleaner to the transmission steel cooler lines, connect 2 additional rubber
hoses to the transmission end of the steel
transmission cooler lines as described. ^
Connect the cleaner tank pressure line to the steel transmission cooler return line (longest line).
^ Connect a tank return hose to the steel transmission cooler pressure line (shorter line). Place the
outlet end of this hose in the solvent tank reservoir.
4. Turn on the pump and allow the transmission fluid to circulate a minimum of 5 minutes (cycling
switch on and off will help dislodge
contaminants in the cooler system).

Transmission Mode Switch: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.

^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all closed in PARK. PARK is a good position to check for
intermittent open circuits (with scan tool monitoring TRD).
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all open in OVERDRIVE, so OVERDRIVE is a good position to
check for shorts to ground. To determine the shorted components while observing TRD, unplug the
TR and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present unplug the transmission
harness and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present, then the short is in the
PCM or vehicle harness. Remove the suspect circuit(s) wire terminal from the PCM connector. If
the short is still present, then the PCM has an internal failure, otherwise the failure is in the vehicle
harness.

Transmission Speed Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Sensor, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5152
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Sensor, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5153
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Sensor/Switch, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5190
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

Axle Shaft Assembly: Description and Operation
Rear Drive Halfshafts
^ The RH and LH halfshafts are different lengths, with the RH halfshaft being the longer of the 2.
^ Inboard and outboard CV joints connect to a splined shaft. A circlip stopper holds the inboard
race assembly (inboard CV joint) together.
^ An axle circlip retains the splined inboard CV joint to the differential side gear. Install a new axle
circlip every time the halfshaft is removed from the vehicle.
^ A rear axle wheel end nut secures the side shaft assembly (interconnecting shaft and outboard
CV joint) to the rear hub. Install a new rear axle wheel end nut every time you remove the halfshaft
from the vehicle.
^ Install a new differential stub shaft seal every time the halfshaft is removed.
Halfshaft Handling
CAUTION: Never pick up or hold the halfshaft by the inboard or outboard CV joint only.
NOTE: Only the inner CV joints are removable for installation of new CV boots and clamps. The
boots and clamps are the only serviced parts of the halfshaft assembly.
Handle all halfshaft components carefully during removal and installation procedures. ^
The halfshaft assemblies are not repairable. Install new assemblies if worn/damaged.
^ To separate the halfshaft from the rear hub, press the outboard CV joint from the rear hub.
^ To separate the halfshaft from the differential, apply a load to the back face of the inboard CV
joint assembly to overcome the axle circlip.
^ Do not overangle the CV joints.
^ Damage will occur to an assembled inboard CV joint if it is overplunged outward from the joint
housing.
^ Never use a hammer to remove or install the halfshafts.
^ Never use the halfshaft assembly as a lever to position other components. Always support the
free end of the halfshaft.
^ Do not allow the boots to contact sharp edges or hot exhaust components.
^ Handle the halfshaft by the interconnecting shaft only to avoid pull-apart and potential damage to
the CV joints.
^ Do not drop assembled halfshafts. The impact can cut the boots from the inside without evidence
of external damage.
Wheel and Tire Balancing, Rear
WARNING: Do not balance the rear wheels and tires while mounted on the vehicle.
Hoisting
CAUTION: Use a frame-contact hoist only. Vehicle or component damage can result if other types
of hoists are used. For additional information, refer to Maintenance/Service and Repair.
Never raise the vehicle using the halfshafts as lift points.
Undercoating and Rustproofing
During undercoating and rustproofing procedures, protect the boots from the coating materials.
Foreign materials on the rubber boots will cause extreme advanced wear.

This article supersedes TSB 06-22-05 to update the model years, Part List and Service Procedure.
ISSUE Some 2006-2008 Expedition, Navigator, Explorer, Explorer Sport Track, and Mountaineer
vehicles equipped with rear axle unitized cartridge seal, 2007-2008 Expedition-Navigator AWD
equipped with front and rear axle unitized cartridge seal.
2003-2005 Expedition-Navigator, 2002-2005, Explorer-Mountaineer, 2003-2005 Aviator equipped
with unitized cartridge rear axle seal, may exhibit oil separation from the internal lube found in the
unitized cartridge seal. This oil separation appears to be, and is often misdiagnosed, as an axle
lube leak. The majority of the vehicles with this condition will be located in northern Canada and
Alaska due to the extreme cold weather.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
DO NOT REPLACE THE UNITIZED CARTRIDGE SEAL UNTIL YOU COMPLETE THIS
DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE PROCEDURE. FAILURE TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE MAY
RESULT IN UNNECESSARILY REPLACING THE SEAL, RESULTING IN A REPEAT CONCERN.
NOTE
THIS DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE IS ONLY NECESSARY ON VEHICLES WITH THE NEW
UNITIZED CARTRIDGE SEAL. THIS SEAL HAS BEEN USED IN PRODUCTION FROM 2006
MODEL YEAR TO PRESENT, HOWEVER, SOME VEHICLES BUILT PRIOR TO 2006 MODEL
YEAR MAY HAVE THIS NEW UPDATED UNITIZED CARTRIDGE SEAL INSTALLED AS A
SERVICE
REPAIR.
1. Raise vehicle, refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 100-02.

NOTE
IF SEAL IS OLD DESIGN RADIAL LIP SEAL STYLE, (SEE FIGURES 1 AND 2 TO IDENTIFY
RADIAL LIP SEAL) THERE IS NO INTERNAL GREASE PRESENT IN SEAL TO SEPARATE.
THIS TSB DOES NOT APPLY. REFER TO WORKSHOP MANUAL DIAGNOSTIC.
2. Check axle half shaft seal to ensure that it is unitized cartridge design.
3. Clean axle housing around the seal area using Motorcraft® Metal Brake Parts Cleaner or
equivalent cleaner. Wipe lube or oil with rag and let the housing dry.
4. Add 0.5 to 1 ounce (14.8 to 29.6 ml) Rotunda Dye-Lite® Leak Detection Dye for Gasoline Engine
Oil 164-R3700, also contained in 164-R0756 to the axle following the appropriate Workshop
Manual.
NOTE
ADDING THE DYE ON SOME VEHICLES WILL REQUIRE THE REAR WHEEL ABS SPEED
SENSOR TO BE REMOVED. REFER TO THE APPROPRIATE WORKSHOP MANUAL DRAIN
AND FILL PROCEDURE.
5. Road test vehicle a minimum distance 15 miles (24 km) at a minimum speed of 25 MPH (40
Km/h).
NOTE
A BRIGHT ORANGE AREA WILL IDENTIFY AXLE LUBE LEAK. FOR EXTREMELY SMALL OIL
SEPARATION, ADDITIONAL AXLE OPERATION TIME MAY BE REQUIRED FOR THE LEAK TO
APPEAR.
6. Raise vehicle to check for signs of leak.
a. Use Rotunda 12V Master UV Leak Detector Kit 164-R0756 or equivalent to look for signs of
leak.
7. If there is not a verifiable lube leak, clean axle near seal area and return the vehicle to the
customer.
NOTE
IF THERE IS NO SIGNS OF LUBE LEAK, THIS MEANS THAT THE SUBSTANCE WHICH WAS
PRESENT PRIOR TO THE PROCEDURE WAS OIL WHICH HAD SEPARATED FROM THE
GREASE INTERNAL TO THE SEAL. THIS OIL IS A PRE-LUBE, AND IS NOT NECESSARY
ONCE THE AXLE SEAL IS BROKEN IN. ONCE THE OIL SEPARATION HAS OCCURRED,
THERE SHOULD BE NO

FURTHER OIL SEPARATION FROM THE SEAL. REMOVING THE SEAL AND INSTALLING A
NEW SEAL MIGHT CREATE A SITUATION WHERE THE OIL WILL SEPARATE, RESULTING IN
THE SAME CONCERN.
8. If there is a verifiable axle lube leak, replace seal following the Workshop Manual (WSM),
Section 205, or look at instruction sheet included in Axle Shaft Seal Kit.

lube leak. The majority of the vehicles with this condition will be located in northern Canada and
Alaska due to the extreme cold weather.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
DO NOT REPLACE THE UNITIZED CARTRIDGE SEAL UNTIL YOU COMPLETE THIS

NOTE
THIS DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE IS ONLY NECESSARY ON VEHICLES WITH THE NEW
UNITIZED CARTRIDGE SEAL. THIS SEAL HAS BEEN USED IN PRODUCTION FROM 2006
MODEL YEAR TO PRESENT, HOWEVER, SOME VEHICLES BUILT PRIOR TO 2006 MODEL
YEAR MAY HAVE THIS NEW UPDATED UNITIZED CARTRIDGE SEAL INSTALLED AS A
SERVICE
REPAIR.
1. Raise vehicle, refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 100-02.
NOTE
IF SEAL IS OLD DESIGN RADIAL LIP SEAL STYLE, (SEE FIGURES 1 AND 2 TO IDENTIFY
RADIAL LIP SEAL) THERE IS NO INTERNAL GREASE PRESENT IN SEAL TO SEPARATE.
THIS TSB DOES NOT APPLY. REFER TO WORKSHOP MANUAL DIAGNOSTIC.
2. Check axle half shaft seal to ensure that it is unitized cartridge design.
3. Clean axle housing around the seal area using Motorcraft® Metal Brake Parts Cleaner or
equivalent cleaner. Wipe lube or oil with rag and let the housing dry.
4. Add 0.5 to 1 ounce (14.8 to 29.6 ml) Rotunda Dye-Lite® Leak Detection Dye for Gasoline Engine
Oil 164-R3700, also contained in 164-R0756 to the axle following the appropriate Workshop
Manual.
NOTE
ADDING THE DYE ON SOME VEHICLES WILL REQUIRE THE REAR WHEEL ABS SPEED
SENSOR TO BE REMOVED. REFER TO THE APPROPRIATE WORKSHOP MANUAL DRAIN
AND FILL PROCEDURE.
5. Road test vehicle a minimum distance 15 miles (24 km) at a minimum speed of 25 MPH (40
Km/h).
NOTE
A BRIGHT ORANGE AREA WILL IDENTIFY AXLE LUBE LEAK. FOR EXTREMELY SMALL OIL
SEPARATION, ADDITIONAL AXLE OPERATION TIME MAY BE REQUIRED FOR THE LEAK TO
APPEAR.

6. Raise vehicle to check for signs of leak.
a. Use Rotunda 12V Master UV Leak Detector Kit 164-R0756 or equivalent to look for signs of
leak.
7. If there is not a verifiable lube leak, clean axle near seal area and return the vehicle to the
customer.
NOTE
IF THERE IS NO SIGNS OF LUBE LEAK, THIS MEANS THAT THE SUBSTANCE WHICH WAS
PRESENT PRIOR TO THE PROCEDURE WAS OIL WHICH HAD SEPARATED FROM THE
GREASE INTERNAL TO THE SEAL. THIS OIL IS A PRE-LUBE, AND IS NOT NECESSARY
ONCE THE AXLE SEAL IS BROKEN IN. ONCE THE OIL SEPARATION HAS OCCURRED,
THERE SHOULD BE NO FURTHER OIL SEPARATION FROM THE SEAL. REMOVING THE
SEAL AND INSTALLING A NEW SEAL MIGHT CREATE A SITUATION WHERE THE OIL WILL
SEPARATE, RESULTING IN THE SAME CONCERN.
8. If there is a verifiable axle lube leak, replace seal following the Workshop Manual (WSM),
Section 205, or look at instruction sheet included in Axle Shaft Seal Kit.

Inspection and Verification
Certain axle and driveline symptoms are also common to the engine, transmission, wheel bearings,
tires and other parts of the vehicle. For this reason, be sure that the cause of the concern is in the
axle before disassembling, adjusting or repairing the axle. Refer to Vehicle/Testing and Inspection.
Certain driveshaft vibration symptoms are common to the front engine accessory drive (FEAD), the
engine, transmission or tires. Be sure the cause of the concern is the driveshaft before repairing or
installing a new driveshaft. Refer to Vehicle/Testing and Inspection.
Noise Acceptability
A gear-driven unit will produce a certain amount of noise. Some noise is acceptable and audible at
certain speeds or under various driving conditions, such as a newly paved blacktop road. Slight
noise is not detrimental to the operation of the axle and is considered normal.
Universal Joint (U-Joint) Inspection
Place the vehicle on a frame hoist and rotate the driveshaft by hand. Check for rough operation or
seized U-joints. Install a new U-joint if it shows signs of seizure, excessive wear or incorrect
seating.
Analysis of Leakage
Clean up the leaking area enough to identify the exact source. An axle leak can be caused by: ^
Axle lubricant level is too high
^ Worn or damaged axle shaft seals or differential seals
^ Differential housing is cracked
^ Flange yoke seal is worn or damaged
^ Pinion flange is scored or damaged
^ Axle cover is not sealed
^ Vent is plugged
Repair the axle as necessary. Make sure the axle lubricant is at the correct level.
Axle Vent
NOTE: If a plugged vent cannot be cleared, install a new vent.
NOTE: If the vent is removed from the housing for any reason, a new vent must be installed.
A plugged vent will cause excessive seal lip wear due to internal pressure buildup. If a leak occurs,
check the vent. Make sure the vent hose is not kinked. Remove the hose from the vent nipple and
clear the hose of any foreign material. While the hose is removed, pass a length of mechanic's wire
or a small diameter Allen wrench in and out of the vent to clean it. Connect the hose when done.
Flange Yoke Seal
Leaks at the axle drive pinion seal originate for these reasons: ^
The seal is not correctly installed
^ A poor quality seal journal surface
Any damage to the seal bore (dings, dents, gouges or other imperfections) will distort the seal
casing and allow leakage past the outer edge of the axle drive pinion seal.
The axle drive pinion seal can be torn, cut or gouged if it is not installed carefully. The spring that
holds the axle drive pinion seal against the pinion flange can be knocked out, which can allow
leakage past the lip.
The rubber lips can occasionally become hard (like plastic) with cracks at the oil lip contact point.
The contact point on the pinion flange may blacken, indicating excessive heat. Marks, nicks,
gouges or rough surface texture on the seal journal of the pinion flange will also cause leaks.
A new pinion flange must be installed if any of these conditions exist.
Metal chips or sand trapped at the sealing lip can also cause oil leaks. This can cause a wear
groove on the pinion flange and heavy pinion seal wear.
When a seal leak occurs, install a new seal and check the vent and the vent hose to make sure
they are clean and free of foreign material.
Analysis of Vibration
WARNING: An all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicle will always have all wheels (on both axles) driving. If
only one wheel/axle is raised off the floor and the axle is driven by the engine, the wheel/axle on
the floor could drive the vehicle off the stand or jack. Be sure all wheels are off the floor.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Hub > Component
Information > Testing and Inspection > Driveline System > Page 5368
Few vibration conditions are caused by the front or rear axle. For a vibration concern, follow the
diagnosis procedure in Vehicle/Testing and Inspection unless there is a good reason to suspect the
axle.
Tires
WARNING: Do not balance the wheels and tires while they are mounted on the vehicle. Possible
tire disintegration or differential failure could result, causing personal injury or extensive component
damage. Use an off-vehicle wheel and tire balancer only.
Most vibration is caused by tires, driveline angle or driveline imbalance.
Vibration is a concern with modern, high-mileage tires if they are not "true" both radially and
laterally. They are more susceptible to vibration around the limits of radial and lateral runout of the
tire and wheel assembly. They also require more accurate balancing. Wheel and tire runout
checks, truing and balancing are normally done before axle inspection.
Driveline Imbalance
Driveline imbalance can be caused by excessive looseness in the driveshaft, damaged driveshaft
tubing, looseness or high runout at the driveshaft attachments (axle and transfer case flanges).
Excessive looseness in the driveshaft can be caused by CV joint or universal joint wear, as well as
loose fitting slip-yoke splines. Inspect and install new driveshaft components as necessary.
Driveline Angle
Driveline Angle
Driveline angularity is the angular relationship between the engine crankshaft, the driveshaft and
the rear axle pinion. Some of the factors determining driveline angularity include ride height, rear
spring and engine mounts.
An incorrect driveline (pinion) angle can often be detected by examining the driving condition in
which the vibration occurs. ^
A vibration during coastdown, from 72 to 56 km/h (45 to 35 mph), is often caused by an excessive
U-joint angle at the axle (pinion nose downward).
^ A vibration during acceleration, from 56 to 72 km/h (35 to 45 mph), may indicate an excessive
U-joint angle at the axle (pinion nose upward).
When these conditions exist, check the driveline angles.

Universal Joint (U-Joint) Wear
Place the vehicle on a frame hoist and rotate the driveshaft by hand. Check for rough operation or
seized U-joints. Install a new U-joint if it shows signs of seizure, excessive wear or incorrect
seating.
Wheel Hub Bolt Circle Runout
NOTE: The brake discs must be removed to carry out all runout measurements.
1. Position the special tool on the wheel hub bolt, as close to the hub face as possible. Zero the
indicator to allow the pointer to deflect either way.
2. Rotate the hub until the next bolt is contacted. Record the measurement and continue until each
bolt is checked. The difference between the
maximum and minimum contact readings will be the total wheel hub bolt circle runout. The runout
must not exceed 0.38 mm (0.015 inch).
Pilot Runout
1. Position the special tools on the pilot, as close to the hub as possible. Zero the indicator to allow
the pointer to deflect either way.
2. Rotate the hub one full turn and note the maximum and minimum readings. The difference
between the maximum and minimum readings will be
the total pilot runout. Pilot runout must not exceed 0.15 mm (0.006 inch).
Wheel Hub Runout
1. Position the special tool on the wheel hub, as close to the outer edge as possible. Zero the
indicator to allow the pointer to deflect either way.
2. Rotate the hub one full turn and note the maximum and minimum readings. The difference
between the maximum and minimum readings will be
the total wheel hub runout. The runout must not exceed 0.127 mm (0.005 inch).
Drive Pinion Stem and Pinion Flange
Check the pinion flange runout when all other checks have failed to show the cause of the
vibration.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Hub > Component
Information > Testing and Inspection > Driveline System > Page 5370
One cause of excessive pinion flange runout is incorrect installation of the axle drive pinion seal.
Check to determine if the spring on the seal lip has been dislodged.
Halfshafts
NOTE: Constant velocity (CV) joints must not be installed unless disassembly and inspection
reveals unusual wear.
NOTE: While inspecting the boots, watch for indentations ("dimples") in the boot convolutions.
Indentations must be removed.
^ Inspect the boots for evidence of cracks, tears or splits.
^ Inspect the underbody for any indication of grease splatter near the boots outboard and inboard
locations. This is an indication of boot/clamp damage.
Axle Noise
NOTE: Before disassembling the axle to diagnose and correct gear noise, eliminate the tires,
exhaust, trim items, roof racks and wheel bearings as possible causes. Follow the diagnostic
procedures in Vehicle/Testing and Inspection.
The noises described as follows usually have specific causes that can be diagnosed by
observation as the unit is disassembled. The initial clues are the type of noise heard during the
road test.
Gear Howl and Whine
Howling or whining of the ring gear and pinion is due to an incorrect gear pattern, gear damage or
incorrect bearing preload.
Bearing Whine
Bearing whine is a high-pitched sound similar to a whistle. It is usually caused by worn/damaged
pinion bearings, which are operating at driveshaft speed. Bearing noise occurs at all driving
speeds. This distinguishes it from gear whine which usually comes and goes as speed changes.
As noted, pinion bearings make a high-pitched, whistling noise, usually at all speeds. If however
there is only one pinion bearing that is worn/damaged, the noise may vary in different driving
phases. New pinion bearings must not be installed unless they are scored or damaged, or there is
a specific pinion bearing noise. A worn/damaged bearing will normally be obvious at disassembly.
Examine the large end of the rollers for wear. If the pinion bearings original blend radius has worn
to a sharp edge, a new pinion bearing must be installed.
A wheel bearing noise can be mistaken for a pinion bearing noise. On rear wheel drive (RWD)
vehicles, check the wheel bearing for a spalled cup and spalled/damaged rollers. Install a new
wheel bearing if any of these concerns are detected.
On four wheel drive (4WD) vehicles, check the wheel bearing for rotating smoothness and end
play.
Chuckle
Chuckle that occurs on the coast driving phase is usually caused by excessive clearance between
the differential gear hub and the differential case bore.
Damage to a gear tooth on the coast side can cause a noise identical to a chuckle. A very small
tooth nick or ridge on the edge of a tooth can cause the noise.
Clean the gear tooth nick or ridge with a small grinding wheel. If the damaged area is larger than
3.2 mm (1/8 inch), install a new gearset.
To check the ring gear and pinion, remove as much lubricant as possible from the gears with clean
solvent. Wipe the gears dry or blow them dry with compressed air. Look for scored or damaged
teeth. Also look for cracks or other damage.
If either gear is scored or damaged badly, a new ring gear and pinion must be installed.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Hub > Component
Information > Testing and Inspection > Driveline System > Page 5371
If metal has broken loose, the axle housing must be cleaned to remove particles that will cause
damage. At this time, any other damaged parts in the axle housing must also be installed new.
Knock
Knock, which can occur in all driving phases, has several causes including damaged teeth or
gearset.
1. NOTE: Measure the end play with a Dial Indicator with Bracketry and not by feel.
Knock is also caused by excessive end play in the axle shafts. Up to 0.762 mm (0.030 inch) is
allowed in semi-float axles. The frequency of the knock will be less because the axle shaft speed is
slower than the driveshaft.
Clunk
Clunk is a metallic noise heard when the automatic transmission is engaged in REVERSE or
DRIVE. The noise can also occur when throttle is applied or released. It is caused by backlash
somewhere in the driveline or loose suspension components; it is felt or heard in the axle.
Additionally, clunk may be heard upon initial drive-away. This occurs as engine torque shifts
vehicle weight, forcing changes in driveline angles which prevent the driveshaft slip-yoke from
sliding on the output shaft. To correct this condition, lubricate the slip-yoke splines.
Bearing Rumble
Bearing rumble sounds like marbles being tumbled. This condition is usually caused by a
worn/damaged wheel bearing. The lower pitch is because the wheel bearing turns at only about 1/3
of the driveshaft speed. Wheel bearing noise also may be high-pitched, similar to gear noise, but
will be evident in all 4 driving modes.

Inspection and Verification
Special Tool(s)
Material
The technician should have a thorough knowledge of driveline system operation and accepted
general driveline guidelines to detect any problems.
A gear driven unit will produce a certain amount of noise. Some noise is acceptable and audible at
certain speeds or under various driving conditions. Certain conditions, such as road conditions and
weather, will amplify normal vehicle noise.
Certain rear axle and driveline concern symptoms are also common to the engine, transmission,
rear wheel bearings and tire. For this reason, be sure the cause of the concern is in the axle before
repairing or installing any axle components.
This is a guide to diagnose a driveline concern: ^
Verify and document the customer concern.
^ Carry out a preliminary investigation.
^ Road test the vehicle.
^ Find the cause of the problem.
^ Inspect the components.
1. Verify and document the customer concern.
1 When was it first noticed?
2 Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
3 Did anything unusual occur that would coincide with it or precede it?
4 Has the driveline system been repaired before or new components installed? ^
Check the vehicle service record. Note any repairs other than driveline, such as brakes or
suspension.
5 Are there any special conditions that will affect the concern or will alter the concern? For
example, ^
road speed.
^ type of road.
^ drive mode.

^ temperature.
^ vehicle loaded or unloaded.
6 Is the condition constant or intermittent? Can the concern be duplicated at any time?
7 Check for TSBs.
2. NOTE: If the inspection reveals an obvious concern, repair the vehicle.
Do a preliminary investigation. Visually inspect for obvious signs of damage. 1
Inspect the driveshaft: ^
for build up of any foreign material.
^ for damage, such as a bent tube or missing weights.
^ U-joints, CV joints or flex couplers for wear or damage.
2 Inspect the axle: ^
for signs of leakage at the drain or fill plug, differential seal, vent or halfshaft seals. a plugged vent or vent tube will cause a leak.
^ for damage, such as cracks, bent halfshafts or dented rear cover.
^ for missing fasteners.
3 Inspect other suspect components/systems: ^
inspect the suspension for broken springs, damaged shock absorbers and worn suspension
bushings.
^ inspect the rear brake components - lines, cables and calipers.
^ inspect the tires; are they in good condition and do they match?
3. NOTE: A road test is necessary for any customer concern of noise or vibration.
Road test the vehicle. 1
During the road test, use these driving methods to diagnose the problem. Is the concern most
noticeable: ^
from a stop?
^ on shifts from REVERSE to DRIVE?
^ on turns? sweeping type turn.
- tight turn (to the stop).

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

Brake Switch - TCC: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

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

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

Throttle Position Sensor/Switch: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Instructions > Page 5483
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

and Switches - A/T > Throttle Position Sensor/Switch, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 5484
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Instructions > Page 5485
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

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

Wiggle Test Information for Open/Shorts
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all closed in PARK. PARK is a good position to check for
intermittent open circuits (with scan tool monitoring TRD).
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all open in OVERDRIVE, so OVERDRIVE is a good position to
check for shorts to ground. To determine the shorted components while observing TRD, unplug the
TR and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present unplug the transmission
harness and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present, then the short is in the
PCM or vehicle harness. Remove the suspect circuit(s) wire terminal from the PCM connector. If
the short is still present, then the PCM has an internal failure, otherwise the failure is in the vehicle
harness.

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

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Information and Instructions > Page 5602
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

and Switches - A/T > Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 5603
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Information and Instructions > Page 5604
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5627
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5628
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5629
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.

Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component

Brake Switch - TCC: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5744
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5745
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5746
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

Overdrive Switch: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5767
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5768
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

Transmission Mode Switch: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5810
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

Wiggle Test Information for Open/Shorts
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all closed in PARK. PARK is a good position to check for
intermittent open circuits (with scan tool monitoring TRD).
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all open in OVERDRIVE, so OVERDRIVE is a good position to
check for shorts to ground. To determine the shorted components while observing TRD, unplug the
TR and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present unplug the transmission
harness and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present, then the short is in the
PCM or vehicle harness. Remove the suspect circuit(s) wire terminal from the PCM connector. If
the short is still present, then the PCM has an internal failure, otherwise the failure is in the vehicle
harness.

Transmission Speed Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5869
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5870
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5871
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5906
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5907
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5908
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

Master Cylinder Bleeding
WARNING: Carefully read cautionary information on product label. For EMERGENCY MEDICAL
INFORMATION seek medical advice. In the USA or Canada on Ford/Motorcraft products call:
1-800-959-3673. For additional information, consult the product Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) if available. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
CAUTION: Do not allow the brake master cylinder reservoir to run dry during the bleeding
operation. Keep the brake master cylinder reservoir filled with the specified brake fluid. Never reuse
brake fluid that has been drained from the hydraulic system.
CAUTION: Brake fluid is harmful to painted and plastic surfaces. If brake fluid is spilled onto a
painted or plastic surface, immediately wash it with water.
NOTE: When any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for repair or new installation,
air may get into the system and cause spongy brake pedal feel. This requires bleeding of the
hydraulic system after it has been correctly connected. The hydraulic system can be gravity bled,
manually bled or bled using pressure bleeding equipment.
1. NOTE: When a new brake master cylinder has been installed or the system has been emptied or
partially emptied, it should be primed to prevent
air from getting into the system.
Disconnect the brake master cylinder tubes.
2. NOTE: Original equipment tubes are not intended to be used during this procedure.
Install the 2 short brake tubes with the ends submerged in the brake master cylinder reservoir and
fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with clean, specified brake fluid.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))

Brake System Bleeding > Page 5998
3. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal until clear fluid flows from both brake tubes without air
bubbles. 4. Remove the 2 short brake tubes and install the 2 master cylinder brake tubes. 5. Bleed
each brake tube at the brake master cylinder as follows:
1 Have an assistant pump the brake pedal and then hold firm pressure on the brake pedal.
2 Loosen the rear brake tube fitting until a stream of brake fluid comes out. Have an assistant
maintain pressure on the brake pedal while tightening the brake tube fitting.
3 Repeat this operation until clear, bubble-free fluid comes out.
4 Refill the brake master cylinder reservoir as necessary. Repeat the bleeding operation at the front
brake tube.
6. While the assistant maintains pressure on the brake pedal, tighten the master cylinder brake
tubes.
^ Tighten to 18 Nm (13 ft. lbs.).
Brake Caliper Bleeding
NOTE: It is not necessary to bleed the entire brake system. It is possible to bleed only the opened
part of the system.
1. Connect one end of a clear flexible hose to the bleeder screw. Submerge the other end in a
container partially filled with clean, specified brake
fluid.
2. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal and then hold firm pressure on the brake pedal. 3.
Open the caliper bleeder screw until brake fluid flows into the container. 4. When fluid stops
flowing, close the bleeder screw.
^ Tighten to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.) for the front brake bleeder screw and 22 Nm (16 ft. lbs.) for the
rear brake bleeder screw.
5. Repeat the previous 3 steps until there are no air bubbles in the brake fluid.

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

Master Cylinder Bleeding
WARNING: Carefully read cautionary information on product label. For EMERGENCY MEDICAL
INFORMATION seek medical advice. In the USA or Canada on Ford/Motorcraft products call:
1-800-959-3673. For additional information, consult the product Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) if available. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
CAUTION: Do not allow the brake master cylinder reservoir to run dry during the bleeding
operation. Keep the brake master cylinder reservoir filled with the specified brake fluid. Never reuse
brake fluid that has been drained from the hydraulic system.
CAUTION: Brake fluid is harmful to painted and plastic surfaces. If brake fluid is spilled onto a
painted or plastic surface, immediately wash it with water.
NOTE: When any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for repair or new installation,
air may get into the system and cause spongy brake pedal feel. This requires bleeding of the
hydraulic system after it has been correctly connected. The hydraulic system can be gravity bled,
manually bled or bled using pressure bleeding equipment.
1. NOTE: When a new brake master cylinder has been installed or the system has been emptied or
partially emptied, it should be primed to prevent
air from getting into the system.
Disconnect the brake master cylinder tubes.
2. NOTE: Original equipment tubes are not intended to be used during this procedure.
Install the 2 short brake tubes with the ends submerged in the brake master cylinder reservoir and
fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with clean, specified brake fluid.

> Service and Repair > Brake System Bleeding > Page 6103
3. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal until clear fluid flows from both brake tubes without air
bubbles. 4. Remove the 2 short brake tubes and install the 2 master cylinder brake tubes. 5. Bleed
each brake tube at the brake master cylinder as follows:
1 Have an assistant pump the brake pedal and then hold firm pressure on the brake pedal.
2 Loosen the rear brake tube fitting until a stream of brake fluid comes out. Have an assistant
maintain pressure on the brake pedal while tightening the brake tube fitting.
3 Repeat this operation until clear, bubble-free fluid comes out.
4 Refill the brake master cylinder reservoir as necessary. Repeat the bleeding operation at the front
brake tube.
6. While the assistant maintains pressure on the brake pedal, tighten the master cylinder brake
tubes.
^ Tighten to 18 Nm (13 ft. lbs.).
Brake Caliper Bleeding
NOTE: It is not necessary to bleed the entire brake system. It is possible to bleed only the opened
part of the system.
1. Connect one end of a clear flexible hose to the bleeder screw. Submerge the other end in a
container partially filled with clean, specified brake
fluid.
2. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal and then hold firm pressure on the brake pedal. 3.
Open the caliper bleeder screw until brake fluid flows into the container. 4. When fluid stops
flowing, close the bleeder screw.
^ Tighten to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.) for the front brake bleeder screw and 22 Nm (16 ft. lbs.) for the
rear brake bleeder screw.
5. Repeat the previous 3 steps until there are no air bubbles in the brake fluid.

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

Vacuum Brake Booster: Description and Operation
Brake Booster The vacuum type power brake booster:
^ is a dual diaphragm, vacuum assisted power brake booster.
^ reduces brake pedal force and travel distance.
^ is located on the LH side of the bulkhead in the engine compartment, between the brake pedal
and the brake master cylinder.
^ is divided into separate chambers by the diaphragms.
^ will not operate if vacuum is restricted or if any of the vacuum related power brake components
fail.
^ is installed as an assembly.
If the power assist fails, the brake system will continue to operate with increased brake pedal effort.
Hose and Check Valve The power brake booster check valve:
^ is located on the front of the power brake booster.
^ is positioned between the power brake booster and the power brake booster hose.
^ closes when the engine is turned OFF.
^ traps engine vacuum in the power brake booster when in the CLOSED position.
^ retains vacuum to provide 2-3 power-assisted brake applications with the engine off.
Active Brake Booster With Stability Assist The active brake booster functions like a conventional
brake booster with the added feature that it can be actuated electrically by the stability assist
module.

Vacuum Brake Booster: Testing and Inspection
Brake Booster
1. Check the hydraulic brake system for leaks or insufficient fluid. 2. With the transmission in
NEUTRAL, stop the engine and apply the parking brake. Apply the brake pedal several times to
exhaust all vacuum in
the system.
3. Apply the brake pedal and hold it in the applied position. Start the engine. If the vacuum system
is operating, the brake pedal will tend to move
downward under constant foot pressure. If no motion is felt, the brake booster system is not
functioning. Continue with the following steps.
4. Remove the vacuum booster hose from the check valve connection. Manifold vacuum must be
available at the check valve end of the vacuum
booster hose with the engine at idle speed and the transmission in NEUTRAL. If manifold vacuum
is available to the brake booster, connect the vacuum booster hose to the brake booster check
valve and repeat Steps 2 and 3.
5. If no downward movement of the brake pedal is felt, install a new brake booster. 6. Operate the
engine a minimum of 10 seconds at fast idle. Stop the engine, and let the vehicle stand for 10
minutes. Then apply the brake pedal
with approximately 89 N (20 lbs.) of force. The brake pedal feel should be the same as that noted
with the engine operating. If the brake pedal feels hard (no power assist), install a new brake
booster check valve and retest. If the brake pedal feels spongy, bleed the hydraulic system to
remove air. For additional information, refer to Brake System Bleeding.

3. NOTE: When the repair is complete, make sure that the brake booster solenoid electrical
connector is connected, or use of the vehicle with
key-on or vehicle running will result in diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) being set.
Disconnect the brake booster solenoid electrical connector.
4. NOTE: The booster push rod clevis locking pin is a one-time use only part. Anytime the booster
push rod clevis locking pin is removed a new
booster push rod clevis locking pin should be used.
Remove the booster push rod clevis locking pin and discard.
5. Disconnect the brake booster rod from the brake pedal and position aside.
6. NOTE: Use new nuts when installing the brake booster.
Remove the 4 brake booster nuts and the booster. ^

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

Wiggle Test Information for Open/Shorts
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all closed in PARK. PARK is a good position to check for
intermittent open circuits (with scan tool monitoring TRD).
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all open in OVERDRIVE, so OVERDRIVE is a good position to
check for shorts to ground. To determine the shorted components while observing TRD, unplug the
TR and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present unplug the transmission
harness and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present, then the short is in the
PCM or vehicle harness. Remove the suspect circuit(s) wire terminal from the PCM connector. If
the short is still present, then the PCM has an internal failure, otherwise the failure is in the vehicle
harness.

Alternator: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6326
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6327
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Charging System > Alternator > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6328
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

Digital Transmission Range (TR) Sensor Diagnosis Chart
Digital Transmission Range (TR) Sensor Diagnosis Chart
Wiggle Test Information for Open/Shorts
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all closed in PARK. PARK is a good position to check for
intermittent open circuits (with scan tool monitoring TRD).
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all open in OVERDRIVE, so OVERDRIVE is a good position to
check for shorts to ground. To determine the shorted components while observing TRD, unplug the
TR and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present unplug the transmission
harness and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present, then the short is in the
PCM or vehicle harness. Remove the suspect circuit(s) wire terminal from the PCM connector. If
the short is still present, then the PCM has an internal failure, otherwise the failure is in the vehicle
harness.

Fuse: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

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

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

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

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

3 = Wire strands missing
4 = Intermittent signals through pierced insulation
Partially mated connectors
1 = Seal
2 = Displaced tab
3 = Female half
4 = Seal
5 = Intermittent contact
6 = Male half
7 = Intermittent contact
Lock may be displaced into an unlocked position; pull on the connector to verify the lock.
Deformed (enlarged) female terminals

2 = Normal
Any probe entering the terminal may enlarge the contact spring opening creating an intermittent
signal. Insert the correct mating terminal (Location A) from the service kit and feel for a loose fit.
Electrical short inside the harness
1 = Solder coated wire to ground
2 = Harness protective tape
3 = Intermittent short
Solder coated wire pierced through the insulation of another circuit
4 = Grounding foil

3 = Splice tape
4 = Harness tape
Broken wire strands in harness
1 = Wiring harness tape
2 = Wiring strand
3 = Broken strands intermittent signal
4 = Circuit insulation
Remove the tape and flex/feel each circuit for a reduction in diameter at break.
Recommended splicing method - Solder (For 16 AWG and Smaller Diameter Wire Only)
1. Disconnect battery ground cable. 2. Strip wires to appropriate length.

3. Install heat shrink tubing. 4. Twist wires together. 5. Solder wires together.
NOTE: Use rosin core mildly-activated (RMA) solder. Do not use acid core solder.
- Use heat shrinkable tubes marked with ES-1 (16-22 GA) or ES-2 (10-18 GA) to seal wire splice.
6. Bend wire 1 back in a straight line.
NOTE: Wait for solder to cool before moving wires.
7. Evenly position heat shrink tubing over wire repair.
NOTE: Overlap tubing on both wires.

8. Use shielded heat gun to heat the repaired area until adhesive flows out of both ends of heat
shrink tubing. 9. Reconnect battery ground cable.
Recommended splicing method - Crimp (For 10-22 AWG Diameter Wire to Like Wire Diameter)
1. Disconnect battery ground cable. 2. Strip 1/4" (6.35mm) of insulation from each wire end, taking
care not to nick or cut wire strands. 3. Install heat shrink tubing.
NOTE: Use heat shrinkable tubes marked with ES-1 (16-22 GA) or ES-2 (10-18 GA) to seal wire
splice.
4. Select appropriate wire splice for the wires to be spliced. 5. Identify the appropriate crimping
chamber on the Rotunda 164-R5901 Pro-Crimper by matching the wire size on the dies with the
wire size
stamped on the butt splice.
NOTE: Rotunda 164-R5901 Pro-Crimper is the only tool that can be used with these splices.

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

Fuse: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Information and Instructions > Page 6711
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6712
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6713
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

Fuse Block: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Information and Instructions > Page 6756
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6757
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6758
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

Alignment: Description and Operation
Suspension System
The front camber and caster are adjusted by loosening the upper control arm bolts which will allow
the upper arm to be moved in the slotted frame holes. The LF caster can be adjusted by loosening
the lower control arm rearward nut to allow the lower arm to be moved in the slotted frame hole.
Front toe is adjusted by the use of the front wheel spindle tie rods. The rear camber is adjusted by
replacing the upper arm inboard flag nut with a non-flag nut to allow the arm to be adjusted in the
slotted frame holes. The rear toe is adjusted through the use of the rear toe link cam bolt.
Camber
Negative and Positive Camber
Camber is the vertical tilt of the wheel when viewed from the front. Camber can be positive or
negative and has a direct effect on tire wear.
Caster
Caster
Caster is the deviation from vertical of an imaginary line drawn through the ball joints when viewed
from the side. The caster specifications will give the vehicle the best directional stability
characteristics when loaded and driven. The caster setting is not related to tire wear.
Toe

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 6926
Positive Toe (Toe In)
Negative Toe (Toe Out)
The vehicle toe setting: ^
affects tire wear and directional stability.
^ must be checked after adding aftermarket equipment, such as a snowplow.
Ride Height
Front Ride Height Measurement

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 6927
Rear Ride Height Measurement
Thrust Angle (Dogtracking)
Thrust Angle (Dogtracking)
Thrust angle (also known as dogtracking) is the condition in which the rear axle is not square to the
chassis. Heavily crowned roads can give the illusion of incorrect thrust angle.
Wander
Wander is the tendency of the vehicle to require frequent, random left and right steering wheel
corrections to maintain a straight path down a level road.
Shimmy
Shimmy, as observed by the driver, is large, consistent, rotational oscillations of the steering wheel
resulting from large, side-to-side (lateral) tire/wheel movements.
Shimmy is usually experienced near 64 km/h (40 mph), and can begin or be amplified when the tire
contacts pot holes or irregularities in the road surface.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 6928
Nibble
Sometimes confused with shimmy, nibble is a condition resulting from tire interaction with various
road surfaces and observed by the driver as small rotational oscillations of the steering wheel.
Poor Returnability/Sticky Steering
Poor returnability and sticky steering is used to describe the poor return of the steering wheel to
center after a turn or the steering correction is completed.
Drift/Pull
Pull is a tugging sensation, felt by the hands on the steering wheel, that must be overcome to keep
the vehicle going straight.
Drift describes what a vehicle with this condition does with hands off the steering wheel. ^
A vehicle-related drift/pull, on a flat road, will cause a consistent deviation from the straight-ahead
path and require constant steering input in the opposite direction to counteract the effect.
^ Drift/pull may be induced by conditions external to the vehicle, such as wind or road camber.

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

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Sensors and Switches - Steering and Suspension > Sensors and
Switches - Wheels and Tires > Tire Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Page 6957
6. Place the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool on the LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees)
from the valve stem. Press and release the test
button on the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the
tire pressure sensor has been recognized by the SJB.
7. Within 2 minutes of the horn sounding, place the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool on the RF
tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the
valve stem and press and release the test button to train the RF tire pressure sensor.
NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between training each sensor or the SJB will time out and
the entire procedure must be repeated.
8. Repeat Step 7 for the RR and LR tires.
The procedure is completed after the last tire has been trained. When the training procedure is
complete, the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE. For vehicles
not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure will be
verified by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position without the horn sounding. If the horn
sounds twice when the switch is turned to the OFF position, the training procedure was not
successful.
9. Using the scan tool, locate the updated TPMS sensor identifiers trained to the SJB and
document them on the applicable warranty claim.
NOTE: This step is required to clear DTC C2780, cause the SJB to exit the manufacturing mode
and to make sure there are no other concerns with a newly programmed SJB.
10. If the sensors are being trained due to the installation of a new SJB, clear any DTCs and carry
out the SJB On-Demand Self Test.

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

Depowering Procedure
WARNING:
- Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS)
vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an
accidental deployment.
- Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment,
which can result in personal injury.
- Never probe the electrical connector on a safety canopy module. Doing so can result in safety
canopy deployment.
- Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control
module (RCM) while the RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in the inadvertent deployment of the safety canopy and risk of personal
injury.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
NOTE:
- If a seat equipped with a SRS component is being serviced, the SRS must be depowered.
- The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is
ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
1. Turn all vehicle accessories OFF. 2. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. 3. At the smart junction box
(SJB), located below the LH side of the instrument panel, remove the cover and the restraints
control module (RCM)
fuse 17 (10A) from the SJB.
4. Turn the ignition ON and visually monitor the air bag indicator for at least 30 seconds. The air
bag indicator will remain lit continuously (no
flashing) if the correct RCM fuse has been removed. If the air bag indicator does not remain lit
continuously, remove the correct RCM fuse before proceeding.
5. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
6. WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power
supply must be depleted before repairing
or installing any front or side air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) components and before
servicing, installing, adjusting or striking components near the front or side air bag sensors, such as
doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and hood latches.
The front impact severity sensors are located on the radiator support bracket above the lower front
splash shield.
The front door side impact sensors are located in the first row doors, behind the door trim panel.
The C-pillar side impact sensors (if equipped) are located on the C-pillar.
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least
one minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).
Disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute.
Repowering Procedure
1. WARNING: The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only. Remove
from vehicle prior to road use. Failure to

remove could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.
Make sure all restraint system diagnostic tool(s) that may have been installed during the repair
have been removed from the vehicle and all SRS components are connected.
2. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON. 3. Install RCM fuse 17 (10A) to the SJB and close the
cover.
4. WARNING: Be sure that nobody is in the vehicle and that there is nothing blocking or set in front
of any air bag module when the
battery ground cable is connected.
Connect the battery ground cable.
5. Prove out the SRS as follows:
Turn the ignition switch from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition switch back to ON
and visually monitor the air bag indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag indicator
will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS fault is
present, the air bag indicator will: fail to light.
- remain lit continuously.
- flash at a 5 Hz rate (RCM not configured).
The air bag indicator might not light until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has
been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the
testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime will sound
in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag indicator and any SRS fault discovered
must be diagnosed and repaired.
Clear all continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the RCM and occupant classification
sensor (OCS) module using a scan tool.

25. WARNING: The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only. Remove
from vehicle prior to road use. Failure to
remove could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.
Make sure all restraint system diagnostic tool(s) that may have been installed during the repair
have been removed from the vehicle and all SRS components are connected.
26. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON. 27. Install the RCM fuse 17 (10A) to the SJB and
install the cover.
28. WARNING: Be sure that nobody is in the vehicle and that there is nothing blocking or set in
front of any air bag module when the
battery ground cable is connected.
Connect the battery ground cable.
29. Prove out the supplemental restraint system (SRS) as follows:
Turn the ignition switch from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the switch back to ON and
visually monitor the air bag indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag indicator will
light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS fault is present,
the air bag indicator will: fail to light.
- remain lit continuously.
- flash at a 5 Hz rate (RCM not configured).
The air bag indicator might not light until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has
been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the
testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime will sound
in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag indicator and any SRS fault discovered
must be diagnosed and repaired.
Clear all continuous DTCs from the RCM and occupant classification sensor (OCS) module using a
scan tool.

CAUTION: The boots and clamps are designed to provide an airtight seal and protect the internal
components of the steering gear. If the seal is not airtight the vacuum generated during turning will
draw water and contamination into the gear causing premature damage.
CAUTION: Zip ties do not produce an airtight seal and must not be used.
CAUTION: The inner ball joint grease is not compatible with water and contamination trapped in
the grease will degrade the life of the joint.
CAUTION: If present, the orientation of the vent tube must be noted so the boots and vent tubes
can be installed in the correct location.

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

^ If relative movement is not felt or seen, the ball joint is OK. Do not install a new ball joint.
^ If relative movement is found, continue with Step 8.
8. NOTE: In order to obtain an accurate measurement, the dial indicator should be aligned as close
as possible with the vertical axis of the ball joint.
To measure ball joint deflection, attach a suitable dial indicator with a flexible arm between the
upper control arm and the wheel knuckle or ball joint stud. ^
If the deflection meets the specification, no further action is required.
9. Measure the ball joint deflection while an assistant pushes up and then pulls down on the upper
control arm, by hand.
^ If the deflection exceeds the specification, a new ball joint must be installed.

Inspection and Verification
Certain axle and driveline symptoms are also common to the engine, transmission, wheel bearings,
tires and other parts of the vehicle. For this reason, be sure that the cause of the concern is in the
axle before disassembling, adjusting or repairing the axle. Refer to Vehicle/Testing and Inspection.
Certain driveshaft vibration symptoms are common to the front engine accessory drive (FEAD), the
engine, transmission or tires. Be sure the cause of the concern is the driveshaft before repairing or
installing a new driveshaft. Refer to Vehicle/Testing and Inspection.
Noise Acceptability
A gear-driven unit will produce a certain amount of noise. Some noise is acceptable and audible at
certain speeds or under various driving conditions, such as a newly paved blacktop road. Slight
noise is not detrimental to the operation of the axle and is considered normal.
Universal Joint (U-Joint) Inspection
Place the vehicle on a frame hoist and rotate the driveshaft by hand. Check for rough operation or
seized U-joints. Install a new U-joint if it shows signs of seizure, excessive wear or incorrect
seating.
Analysis of Leakage
Clean up the leaking area enough to identify the exact source. An axle leak can be caused by: ^
Axle lubricant level is too high
^ Worn or damaged axle shaft seals or differential seals
^ Differential housing is cracked
^ Flange yoke seal is worn or damaged
^ Pinion flange is scored or damaged
^ Axle cover is not sealed
^ Vent is plugged
Repair the axle as necessary. Make sure the axle lubricant is at the correct level.
Axle Vent
NOTE: If a plugged vent cannot be cleared, install a new vent.
NOTE: If the vent is removed from the housing for any reason, a new vent must be installed.
A plugged vent will cause excessive seal lip wear due to internal pressure buildup. If a leak occurs,
check the vent. Make sure the vent hose is not kinked. Remove the hose from the vent nipple and
clear the hose of any foreign material. While the hose is removed, pass a length of mechanic's wire
or a small diameter Allen wrench in and out of the vent to clean it. Connect the hose when done.
Flange Yoke Seal
Leaks at the axle drive pinion seal originate for these reasons: ^
The seal is not correctly installed
^ A poor quality seal journal surface
Any damage to the seal bore (dings, dents, gouges or other imperfections) will distort the seal
casing and allow leakage past the outer edge of the axle drive pinion seal.
The axle drive pinion seal can be torn, cut or gouged if it is not installed carefully. The spring that
holds the axle drive pinion seal against the pinion flange can be knocked out, which can allow
leakage past the lip.
The rubber lips can occasionally become hard (like plastic) with cracks at the oil lip contact point.
The contact point on the pinion flange may blacken, indicating excessive heat. Marks, nicks,
gouges or rough surface texture on the seal journal of the pinion flange will also cause leaks.
A new pinion flange must be installed if any of these conditions exist.
Metal chips or sand trapped at the sealing lip can also cause oil leaks. This can cause a wear
groove on the pinion flange and heavy pinion seal wear.
When a seal leak occurs, install a new seal and check the vent and the vent hose to make sure
they are clean and free of foreign material.
Analysis of Vibration
WARNING: An all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicle will always have all wheels (on both axles) driving. If
only one wheel/axle is raised off the floor and the axle is driven by the engine, the wheel/axle on
the floor could drive the vehicle off the stand or jack. Be sure all wheels are off the floor.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Hub > Component Information > Testing and
Inspection > Driveline System > Page 7197
Few vibration conditions are caused by the front or rear axle. For a vibration concern, follow the
diagnosis procedure in Vehicle/Testing and Inspection unless there is a good reason to suspect the
axle.
Tires
WARNING: Do not balance the wheels and tires while they are mounted on the vehicle. Possible
tire disintegration or differential failure could result, causing personal injury or extensive component
damage. Use an off-vehicle wheel and tire balancer only.
Most vibration is caused by tires, driveline angle or driveline imbalance.
Vibration is a concern with modern, high-mileage tires if they are not "true" both radially and
laterally. They are more susceptible to vibration around the limits of radial and lateral runout of the
tire and wheel assembly. They also require more accurate balancing. Wheel and tire runout
checks, truing and balancing are normally done before axle inspection.
Driveline Imbalance
Driveline imbalance can be caused by excessive looseness in the driveshaft, damaged driveshaft
tubing, looseness or high runout at the driveshaft attachments (axle and transfer case flanges).
Excessive looseness in the driveshaft can be caused by CV joint or universal joint wear, as well as
loose fitting slip-yoke splines. Inspect and install new driveshaft components as necessary.
Driveline Angle
Driveline Angle
Driveline angularity is the angular relationship between the engine crankshaft, the driveshaft and
the rear axle pinion. Some of the factors determining driveline angularity include ride height, rear
spring and engine mounts.
An incorrect driveline (pinion) angle can often be detected by examining the driving condition in
which the vibration occurs. ^
A vibration during coastdown, from 72 to 56 km/h (45 to 35 mph), is often caused by an excessive
U-joint angle at the axle (pinion nose downward).
^ A vibration during acceleration, from 56 to 72 km/h (35 to 45 mph), may indicate an excessive
U-joint angle at the axle (pinion nose upward).
When these conditions exist, check the driveline angles.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Hub > Component Information > Testing and
Inspection > Driveline System > Page 7198
Universal Joint (U-Joint) Wear
Place the vehicle on a frame hoist and rotate the driveshaft by hand. Check for rough operation or
seized U-joints. Install a new U-joint if it shows signs of seizure, excessive wear or incorrect
seating.
Wheel Hub Bolt Circle Runout
NOTE: The brake discs must be removed to carry out all runout measurements.
1. Position the special tool on the wheel hub bolt, as close to the hub face as possible. Zero the
indicator to allow the pointer to deflect either way.
2. Rotate the hub until the next bolt is contacted. Record the measurement and continue until each
bolt is checked. The difference between the
maximum and minimum contact readings will be the total wheel hub bolt circle runout. The runout
must not exceed 0.38 mm (0.015 inch).
Pilot Runout
1. Position the special tools on the pilot, as close to the hub as possible. Zero the indicator to allow
the pointer to deflect either way.
2. Rotate the hub one full turn and note the maximum and minimum readings. The difference
between the maximum and minimum readings will be
the total pilot runout. Pilot runout must not exceed 0.15 mm (0.006 inch).
Wheel Hub Runout
1. Position the special tool on the wheel hub, as close to the outer edge as possible. Zero the
indicator to allow the pointer to deflect either way.
2. Rotate the hub one full turn and note the maximum and minimum readings. The difference
between the maximum and minimum readings will be
the total wheel hub runout. The runout must not exceed 0.127 mm (0.005 inch).
Drive Pinion Stem and Pinion Flange
Check the pinion flange runout when all other checks have failed to show the cause of the
vibration.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Hub > Component Information > Testing and
Inspection > Driveline System > Page 7199
One cause of excessive pinion flange runout is incorrect installation of the axle drive pinion seal.
Check to determine if the spring on the seal lip has been dislodged.
Halfshafts
NOTE: Constant velocity (CV) joints must not be installed unless disassembly and inspection
reveals unusual wear.
NOTE: While inspecting the boots, watch for indentations ("dimples") in the boot convolutions.
Indentations must be removed.
^ Inspect the boots for evidence of cracks, tears or splits.
^ Inspect the underbody for any indication of grease splatter near the boots outboard and inboard
locations. This is an indication of boot/clamp damage.
Axle Noise
NOTE: Before disassembling the axle to diagnose and correct gear noise, eliminate the tires,
exhaust, trim items, roof racks and wheel bearings as possible causes. Follow the diagnostic
procedures in Vehicle/Testing and Inspection.
The noises described as follows usually have specific causes that can be diagnosed by
observation as the unit is disassembled. The initial clues are the type of noise heard during the
road test.
Gear Howl and Whine
Howling or whining of the ring gear and pinion is due to an incorrect gear pattern, gear damage or
incorrect bearing preload.
Bearing Whine
Bearing whine is a high-pitched sound similar to a whistle. It is usually caused by worn/damaged
pinion bearings, which are operating at driveshaft speed. Bearing noise occurs at all driving
speeds. This distinguishes it from gear whine which usually comes and goes as speed changes.
As noted, pinion bearings make a high-pitched, whistling noise, usually at all speeds. If however
there is only one pinion bearing that is worn/damaged, the noise may vary in different driving
phases. New pinion bearings must not be installed unless they are scored or damaged, or there is
a specific pinion bearing noise. A worn/damaged bearing will normally be obvious at disassembly.
Examine the large end of the rollers for wear. If the pinion bearings original blend radius has worn
to a sharp edge, a new pinion bearing must be installed.
A wheel bearing noise can be mistaken for a pinion bearing noise. On rear wheel drive (RWD)
vehicles, check the wheel bearing for a spalled cup and spalled/damaged rollers. Install a new
wheel bearing if any of these concerns are detected.
On four wheel drive (4WD) vehicles, check the wheel bearing for rotating smoothness and end
play.
Chuckle
Chuckle that occurs on the coast driving phase is usually caused by excessive clearance between
the differential gear hub and the differential case bore.
Damage to a gear tooth on the coast side can cause a noise identical to a chuckle. A very small
tooth nick or ridge on the edge of a tooth can cause the noise.
Clean the gear tooth nick or ridge with a small grinding wheel. If the damaged area is larger than
3.2 mm (1/8 inch), install a new gearset.
To check the ring gear and pinion, remove as much lubricant as possible from the gears with clean
solvent. Wipe the gears dry or blow them dry with compressed air. Look for scored or damaged
teeth. Also look for cracks or other damage.
If either gear is scored or damaged badly, a new ring gear and pinion must be installed.

Inspection > Driveline System > Page 7200
If metal has broken loose, the axle housing must be cleaned to remove particles that will cause
damage. At this time, any other damaged parts in the axle housing must also be installed new.
Knock
Knock, which can occur in all driving phases, has several causes including damaged teeth or
gearset.
1. NOTE: Measure the end play with a Dial Indicator with Bracketry and not by feel.
Knock is also caused by excessive end play in the axle shafts. Up to 0.762 mm (0.030 inch) is
allowed in semi-float axles. The frequency of the knock will be less because the axle shaft speed is
slower than the driveshaft.
Clunk
Clunk is a metallic noise heard when the automatic transmission is engaged in REVERSE or
DRIVE. The noise can also occur when throttle is applied or released. It is caused by backlash
somewhere in the driveline or loose suspension components; it is felt or heard in the axle.
Additionally, clunk may be heard upon initial drive-away. This occurs as engine torque shifts
vehicle weight, forcing changes in driveline angles which prevent the driveshaft slip-yoke from
sliding on the output shaft. To correct this condition, lubricate the slip-yoke splines.
Bearing Rumble
Bearing rumble sounds like marbles being tumbled. This condition is usually caused by a
worn/damaged wheel bearing. The lower pitch is because the wheel bearing turns at only about 1/3
of the driveshaft speed. Wheel bearing noise also may be high-pitched, similar to gear noise, but
will be evident in all 4 driving modes.

Inspection and Verification
Special Tool(s)
Material
The technician should have a thorough knowledge of driveline system operation and accepted
general driveline guidelines to detect any problems.
A gear driven unit will produce a certain amount of noise. Some noise is acceptable and audible at
certain speeds or under various driving conditions. Certain conditions, such as road conditions and
weather, will amplify normal vehicle noise.
Certain rear axle and driveline concern symptoms are also common to the engine, transmission,
rear wheel bearings and tire. For this reason, be sure the cause of the concern is in the axle before
repairing or installing any axle components.
This is a guide to diagnose a driveline concern: ^
Verify and document the customer concern.
^ Carry out a preliminary investigation.
^ Road test the vehicle.
^ Find the cause of the problem.
^ Inspect the components.
1. Verify and document the customer concern.
1 When was it first noticed?
2 Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
3 Did anything unusual occur that would coincide with it or precede it?
4 Has the driveline system been repaired before or new components installed? ^
Check the vehicle service record. Note any repairs other than driveline, such as brakes or
suspension.
5 Are there any special conditions that will affect the concern or will alter the concern? For
example, ^
road speed.
^ type of road.
^ drive mode.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Hub > Component Information > Testing and
Inspection > Driveline System > Page 7202
^ temperature.
^ vehicle loaded or unloaded.
6 Is the condition constant or intermittent? Can the concern be duplicated at any time?
7 Check for TSBs.
2. NOTE: If the inspection reveals an obvious concern, repair the vehicle.
Do a preliminary investigation. Visually inspect for obvious signs of damage. 1
Inspect the driveshaft: ^
for build up of any foreign material.
^ for damage, such as a bent tube or missing weights.
^ U-joints, CV joints or flex couplers for wear or damage.
2 Inspect the axle: ^
for signs of leakage at the drain or fill plug, differential seal, vent or halfshaft seals. a plugged vent or vent tube will cause a leak.
^ for damage, such as cracks, bent halfshafts or dented rear cover.
^ for missing fasteners.
3 Inspect other suspect components/systems: ^
inspect the suspension for broken springs, damaged shock absorbers and worn suspension
bushings.
^ inspect the rear brake components - lines, cables and calipers.
^ inspect the tires; are they in good condition and do they match?
3. NOTE: A road test is necessary for any customer concern of noise or vibration.
Road test the vehicle. 1
During the road test, use these driving methods to diagnose the problem. Is the concern most
noticeable: ^
from a stop?
^ on shifts from REVERSE to DRIVE?
^ on turns? sweeping type turn.
- tight turn (to the stop).
^ in DRIVE? accelerating the vehicle, definite throttle depression, applying engine torque.
^ in CRUISE? -
maintaining a constant speed with the throttle applied.
^ in COAST? decelerating with the throttle closed.
2 Record when the concern occurs. Write down the kph (mph) range at which the noise/vibration
occurs.
4. Find the cause of the problem.
1 Compare the inspection and road test results with the chart.
2 Use this diagnostic routine chart to identify the probable cause and know what corrective actions
should be taken to repair the component/vehicle and to prevent a reoccurrence.

Diagnostic Routine Chart
5. NOTE: If the conclusion of the road test points to an axle assembly section (ring and pinion or
differential case) concern, carry out a visual
inspection of the rear axle.
Inspect the axle components. 1
Remove the axle assembly.
2 Remove the differential housing cover. Drain the axle lubricant through a white cloth. Check the
fluid for: ^
any foreign material.
^ metal particles.
^ burnt odor.
3 NOTE: When inspecting the axle, do not clean the components immediately. Cleaning may
remove diagnostic evidence.
Inspect the axle components.
^ Look for: loose fasteners.
- notches or visible steps or grooves created by wear.
- pitting or cracking along gear contact lines.
- scuffing or deformations.
- discolorations.
- nicks or ridges on gear teeth.
^ Clean the axle components for inspection. Remove as much lubricant as possible with clean solvent. Wipe the components or blow them dry
with compressed air.
^ Re-inspect for:

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

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

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Testing and Inspection
TPMS Indicator and Message Center Messages
The TPMS indicator and vehicle message center (if equipped) sometimes displays faults that
cannot be resolved by the customer. Treat these messages as TPMS faults that must be serviced.
TPMS Indicator Illuminates Continuously
NOTE: If the spare tire is in use, the damaged road tire must be repaired and installed on the
vehicle to restore complete TPMS functionality before carrying out any diagnosis.
1. The TPMS indicator remains on continuously for this condition:
^ Low Tire Pressure - The TPMS indicator is illuminated solid and the message center displays
LOW TIRE PRESSURE (if equipped). This is displayed when any of the tire pressures are low.
When this condition exists, the tire pressure must be adjusted to the recommended cold pressure
as indicated on the vehicle certification label.
2. NOTE: The TPMS sensors do not transmit when the vehicle is stationary. If the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 30 minutes, it will be
necessary to wake up the sensors so they will transmit the latest tire pressure information to the
SJB.
If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, carry out this procedure to wake up the
TPMS sensors. 1
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2 Adjust the air pressure in the LF tire.
3 Activate the LF TPMS sensor, at least 2 times, using the tire pressure monitor activation tool.
4 Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the remaining tires.
5 If the TPMS indicator remains illuminated after adjusting and activating each sensor, GO to
Symptom Chart. See: Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
TPMS Indicator Flashes
The TPMS indicator flashes for 70 seconds and then remains ON solid when the ignition key is
turned to the ON position for these conditions: 1. Tire Pressure Sensor Fault - If equipped, the
message center will display TIRE SENSOR FAULT when a tire pressure sensor is malfunctioning.
GO to Symptom Chart. See: Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
2. No communication with the SJB (TPMS is integral to the SJB) - The TPMS indicator is
illuminated when the instrument cluster has received no
signals from the SJB for more than 5 seconds. If equipped, the message center displays TIRE
MONITOR FAULT. GO to Symptom Chart. See: Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related

The procedure is completed after the last tire has been trained. When the training procedure is
complete, the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE. For vehicles
not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure will be
verified by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position without the horn sounding. If the horn
sounds twice when the switch is turned to the OFF position, the training procedure was not
successful.
9. Using the scan tool, locate the updated TPMS sensor identifiers trained to the SJB and
document them on the applicable warranty claim.
NOTE: This step is required to clear DTC C2780, cause the SJB to exit the manufacturing mode
and to make sure there are no other concerns with a newly programmed SJB.
10. If the sensors are being trained due to the installation of a new SJB, clear any DTCs and carry
out the SJB On-Demand Self Test.

Disassembly
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensors are manufactured in multiple colors based on their application.
When installing a new sensor, make sure the color of the sensor being installed matches the color
of the sensor that was removed. The different colored sensors are not interchangeable.
NOTE: The sensor is available separately, the cradle and strap are available as a strap kit. There
are several different strap kits available based on wheel diameter but all strap kits share the same
base part number.
NOTE: Tire pressure sensors are equipped with Lithium-ion batteries and must be disposed of
accordingly.
1. Remove the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor.
2. WARNING: The TPMS band is under tension. Always use safety goggles or a face shield and
gloves when removing the TPMS
band/strap. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
Remove a factory installed strap in this sequence: 1
Locate the strap buckle and secure the strap to the wheel using duct tape or a similar item, on both
sides of the buckle approximately 25 mm (0.98 inch) from the buckle.
2 Using a large screwdriver and a twisting motion, unbuckle the strap.
3 Discard the strap. To remove a dealer installed strap, turn the worm gear screw until the strap is
fully released from the worm gear.
^ Discard the strap.
3. NOTE: To aid assembly, mark the location of the cradle prior to disassembly.
Using a screwdriver, or similar tool, remove the cradle by inserting the screwdriver under the cradle
and prying up.
Assembly
1. NOTE: Make sure the sensor is fully seated into the new cradle. The sensor will make a "click"
noise when fully seated.
Position the sensor into the new cradle by inserting the hinge end of the sensor into the hook end
of the cradle and pushing the opposite end of the sensor down onto the cradle.
2. CAUTION: Metal scrapers can damage the wheel. Use only plastic or non-metallic scrapers to
remove the cradle adhesive strip residue.

Inspection and Verification
Certain axle and driveline symptoms are also common to the engine, transmission, wheel bearings,
tires and other parts of the vehicle. For this reason, be sure that the cause of the concern is in the
axle before disassembling, adjusting or repairing the axle. Refer to Vehicle/Testing and Inspection.
Certain driveshaft vibration symptoms are common to the front engine accessory drive (FEAD), the
engine, transmission or tires. Be sure the cause of the concern is the driveshaft before repairing or
installing a new driveshaft. Refer to Vehicle/Testing and Inspection.
Noise Acceptability
A gear-driven unit will produce a certain amount of noise. Some noise is acceptable and audible at
certain speeds or under various driving conditions, such as a newly paved blacktop road. Slight
noise is not detrimental to the operation of the axle and is considered normal.
Universal Joint (U-Joint) Inspection
Place the vehicle on a frame hoist and rotate the driveshaft by hand. Check for rough operation or
seized U-joints. Install a new U-joint if it shows signs of seizure, excessive wear or incorrect
seating.
Analysis of Leakage
Clean up the leaking area enough to identify the exact source. An axle leak can be caused by: ^
Axle lubricant level is too high
^ Worn or damaged axle shaft seals or differential seals
^ Differential housing is cracked
^ Flange yoke seal is worn or damaged
^ Pinion flange is scored or damaged
^ Axle cover is not sealed
^ Vent is plugged
Repair the axle as necessary. Make sure the axle lubricant is at the correct level.
Axle Vent
NOTE: If a plugged vent cannot be cleared, install a new vent.
NOTE: If the vent is removed from the housing for any reason, a new vent must be installed.
A plugged vent will cause excessive seal lip wear due to internal pressure buildup. If a leak occurs,
check the vent. Make sure the vent hose is not kinked. Remove the hose from the vent nipple and
clear the hose of any foreign material. While the hose is removed, pass a length of mechanic's wire
or a small diameter Allen wrench in and out of the vent to clean it. Connect the hose when done.
Flange Yoke Seal
Leaks at the axle drive pinion seal originate for these reasons: ^
The seal is not correctly installed
^ A poor quality seal journal surface
Any damage to the seal bore (dings, dents, gouges or other imperfections) will distort the seal
casing and allow leakage past the outer edge of the axle drive pinion seal.
The axle drive pinion seal can be torn, cut or gouged if it is not installed carefully. The spring that
holds the axle drive pinion seal against the pinion flange can be knocked out, which can allow
leakage past the lip.
The rubber lips can occasionally become hard (like plastic) with cracks at the oil lip contact point.
The contact point on the pinion flange may blacken, indicating excessive heat. Marks, nicks,
gouges or rough surface texture on the seal journal of the pinion flange will also cause leaks.
A new pinion flange must be installed if any of these conditions exist.
Metal chips or sand trapped at the sealing lip can also cause oil leaks. This can cause a wear
groove on the pinion flange and heavy pinion seal wear.
When a seal leak occurs, install a new seal and check the vent and the vent hose to make sure
they are clean and free of foreign material.
Analysis of Vibration
WARNING: An all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicle will always have all wheels (on both axles) driving. If
only one wheel/axle is raised off the floor and the axle is driven by the engine, the wheel/axle on
the floor could drive the vehicle off the stand or jack. Be sure all wheels are off the floor.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Hub > Component Information > Testing
and Inspection > Driveline System > Page 7304
Few vibration conditions are caused by the front or rear axle. For a vibration concern, follow the
diagnosis procedure in Vehicle/Testing and Inspection unless there is a good reason to suspect the
axle.
Tires
WARNING: Do not balance the wheels and tires while they are mounted on the vehicle. Possible
tire disintegration or differential failure could result, causing personal injury or extensive component
damage. Use an off-vehicle wheel and tire balancer only.
Most vibration is caused by tires, driveline angle or driveline imbalance.
Vibration is a concern with modern, high-mileage tires if they are not "true" both radially and
laterally. They are more susceptible to vibration around the limits of radial and lateral runout of the
tire and wheel assembly. They also require more accurate balancing. Wheel and tire runout
checks, truing and balancing are normally done before axle inspection.
Driveline Imbalance
Driveline imbalance can be caused by excessive looseness in the driveshaft, damaged driveshaft
tubing, looseness or high runout at the driveshaft attachments (axle and transfer case flanges).
Excessive looseness in the driveshaft can be caused by CV joint or universal joint wear, as well as
loose fitting slip-yoke splines. Inspect and install new driveshaft components as necessary.
Driveline Angle
Driveline Angle
Driveline angularity is the angular relationship between the engine crankshaft, the driveshaft and
the rear axle pinion. Some of the factors determining driveline angularity include ride height, rear
spring and engine mounts.
An incorrect driveline (pinion) angle can often be detected by examining the driving condition in
which the vibration occurs. ^
A vibration during coastdown, from 72 to 56 km/h (45 to 35 mph), is often caused by an excessive
U-joint angle at the axle (pinion nose downward).
^ A vibration during acceleration, from 56 to 72 km/h (35 to 45 mph), may indicate an excessive
U-joint angle at the axle (pinion nose upward).
When these conditions exist, check the driveline angles.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Hub > Component Information > Testing
and Inspection > Driveline System > Page 7305
Universal Joint (U-Joint) Wear
Place the vehicle on a frame hoist and rotate the driveshaft by hand. Check for rough operation or
seized U-joints. Install a new U-joint if it shows signs of seizure, excessive wear or incorrect
seating.
Wheel Hub Bolt Circle Runout
NOTE: The brake discs must be removed to carry out all runout measurements.
1. Position the special tool on the wheel hub bolt, as close to the hub face as possible. Zero the
indicator to allow the pointer to deflect either way.
2. Rotate the hub until the next bolt is contacted. Record the measurement and continue until each
bolt is checked. The difference between the
maximum and minimum contact readings will be the total wheel hub bolt circle runout. The runout
must not exceed 0.38 mm (0.015 inch).
Pilot Runout
1. Position the special tools on the pilot, as close to the hub as possible. Zero the indicator to allow
the pointer to deflect either way.
2. Rotate the hub one full turn and note the maximum and minimum readings. The difference
between the maximum and minimum readings will be
the total pilot runout. Pilot runout must not exceed 0.15 mm (0.006 inch).
Wheel Hub Runout
1. Position the special tool on the wheel hub, as close to the outer edge as possible. Zero the
indicator to allow the pointer to deflect either way.
2. Rotate the hub one full turn and note the maximum and minimum readings. The difference
between the maximum and minimum readings will be
the total wheel hub runout. The runout must not exceed 0.127 mm (0.005 inch).
Drive Pinion Stem and Pinion Flange
Check the pinion flange runout when all other checks have failed to show the cause of the
vibration.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Hub > Component Information > Testing
and Inspection > Driveline System > Page 7306
One cause of excessive pinion flange runout is incorrect installation of the axle drive pinion seal.
Check to determine if the spring on the seal lip has been dislodged.
Halfshafts
NOTE: Constant velocity (CV) joints must not be installed unless disassembly and inspection
reveals unusual wear.
NOTE: While inspecting the boots, watch for indentations ("dimples") in the boot convolutions.
Indentations must be removed.
^ Inspect the boots for evidence of cracks, tears or splits.
^ Inspect the underbody for any indication of grease splatter near the boots outboard and inboard
locations. This is an indication of boot/clamp damage.
Axle Noise
NOTE: Before disassembling the axle to diagnose and correct gear noise, eliminate the tires,
exhaust, trim items, roof racks and wheel bearings as possible causes. Follow the diagnostic
procedures in Vehicle/Testing and Inspection.
The noises described as follows usually have specific causes that can be diagnosed by
observation as the unit is disassembled. The initial clues are the type of noise heard during the
road test.
Gear Howl and Whine
Howling or whining of the ring gear and pinion is due to an incorrect gear pattern, gear damage or
incorrect bearing preload.
Bearing Whine
Bearing whine is a high-pitched sound similar to a whistle. It is usually caused by worn/damaged
pinion bearings, which are operating at driveshaft speed. Bearing noise occurs at all driving
speeds. This distinguishes it from gear whine which usually comes and goes as speed changes.
As noted, pinion bearings make a high-pitched, whistling noise, usually at all speeds. If however
there is only one pinion bearing that is worn/damaged, the noise may vary in different driving
phases. New pinion bearings must not be installed unless they are scored or damaged, or there is
a specific pinion bearing noise. A worn/damaged bearing will normally be obvious at disassembly.
Examine the large end of the rollers for wear. If the pinion bearings original blend radius has worn
to a sharp edge, a new pinion bearing must be installed.
A wheel bearing noise can be mistaken for a pinion bearing noise. On rear wheel drive (RWD)
vehicles, check the wheel bearing for a spalled cup and spalled/damaged rollers. Install a new
wheel bearing if any of these concerns are detected.
On four wheel drive (4WD) vehicles, check the wheel bearing for rotating smoothness and end
play.
Chuckle
Chuckle that occurs on the coast driving phase is usually caused by excessive clearance between
the differential gear hub and the differential case bore.
Damage to a gear tooth on the coast side can cause a noise identical to a chuckle. A very small
tooth nick or ridge on the edge of a tooth can cause the noise.
Clean the gear tooth nick or ridge with a small grinding wheel. If the damaged area is larger than
3.2 mm (1/8 inch), install a new gearset.
To check the ring gear and pinion, remove as much lubricant as possible from the gears with clean
solvent. Wipe the gears dry or blow them dry with compressed air. Look for scored or damaged
teeth. Also look for cracks or other damage.
If either gear is scored or damaged badly, a new ring gear and pinion must be installed.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Hub > Component Information > Testing
and Inspection > Driveline System > Page 7307
If metal has broken loose, the axle housing must be cleaned to remove particles that will cause
damage. At this time, any other damaged parts in the axle housing must also be installed new.
Knock
Knock, which can occur in all driving phases, has several causes including damaged teeth or
gearset.
1. NOTE: Measure the end play with a Dial Indicator with Bracketry and not by feel.
Knock is also caused by excessive end play in the axle shafts. Up to 0.762 mm (0.030 inch) is
allowed in semi-float axles. The frequency of the knock will be less because the axle shaft speed is
slower than the driveshaft.
Clunk
Clunk is a metallic noise heard when the automatic transmission is engaged in REVERSE or
DRIVE. The noise can also occur when throttle is applied or released. It is caused by backlash
somewhere in the driveline or loose suspension components; it is felt or heard in the axle.
Additionally, clunk may be heard upon initial drive-away. This occurs as engine torque shifts
vehicle weight, forcing changes in driveline angles which prevent the driveshaft slip-yoke from
sliding on the output shaft. To correct this condition, lubricate the slip-yoke splines.
Bearing Rumble
Bearing rumble sounds like marbles being tumbled. This condition is usually caused by a
worn/damaged wheel bearing. The lower pitch is because the wheel bearing turns at only about 1/3
of the driveshaft speed. Wheel bearing noise also may be high-pitched, similar to gear noise, but
will be evident in all 4 driving modes.

Inspection and Verification
Special Tool(s)
Material
The technician should have a thorough knowledge of driveline system operation and accepted
general driveline guidelines to detect any problems.
A gear driven unit will produce a certain amount of noise. Some noise is acceptable and audible at
certain speeds or under various driving conditions. Certain conditions, such as road conditions and
weather, will amplify normal vehicle noise.
Certain rear axle and driveline concern symptoms are also common to the engine, transmission,
rear wheel bearings and tire. For this reason, be sure the cause of the concern is in the axle before
repairing or installing any axle components.
This is a guide to diagnose a driveline concern: ^
Verify and document the customer concern.
^ Carry out a preliminary investigation.
^ Road test the vehicle.
^ Find the cause of the problem.
^ Inspect the components.
1. Verify and document the customer concern.
1 When was it first noticed?
2 Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
3 Did anything unusual occur that would coincide with it or precede it?
4 Has the driveline system been repaired before or new components installed? ^
Check the vehicle service record. Note any repairs other than driveline, such as brakes or
suspension.
5 Are there any special conditions that will affect the concern or will alter the concern? For
example, ^
road speed.
^ type of road.
^ drive mode.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Hub > Component Information > Testing
and Inspection > Driveline System > Page 7309
^ temperature.
^ vehicle loaded or unloaded.
6 Is the condition constant or intermittent? Can the concern be duplicated at any time?
7 Check for TSBs.
2. NOTE: If the inspection reveals an obvious concern, repair the vehicle.
Do a preliminary investigation. Visually inspect for obvious signs of damage. 1
Inspect the driveshaft: ^
for build up of any foreign material.
^ for damage, such as a bent tube or missing weights.
^ U-joints, CV joints or flex couplers for wear or damage.
2 Inspect the axle: ^
for signs of leakage at the drain or fill plug, differential seal, vent or halfshaft seals. a plugged vent or vent tube will cause a leak.
^ for damage, such as cracks, bent halfshafts or dented rear cover.
^ for missing fasteners.
3 Inspect other suspect components/systems: ^
inspect the suspension for broken springs, damaged shock absorbers and worn suspension
bushings.
^ inspect the rear brake components - lines, cables and calipers.
^ inspect the tires; are they in good condition and do they match?
3. NOTE: A road test is necessary for any customer concern of noise or vibration.
Road test the vehicle. 1
During the road test, use these driving methods to diagnose the problem. Is the concern most
noticeable: ^
from a stop?
^ on shifts from REVERSE to DRIVE?
^ on turns? sweeping type turn.
- tight turn (to the stop).
^ in DRIVE? accelerating the vehicle, definite throttle depression, applying engine torque.
^ in CRUISE? -
maintaining a constant speed with the throttle applied.
^ in COAST? decelerating with the throttle closed.
2 Record when the concern occurs. Write down the kph (mph) range at which the noise/vibration
occurs.
4. Find the cause of the problem.
1 Compare the inspection and road test results with the chart.
2 Use this diagnostic routine chart to identify the probable cause and know what corrective actions
should be taken to repair the component/vehicle and to prevent a reoccurrence.

Diagnostic Routine Chart
5. NOTE: If the conclusion of the road test points to an axle assembly section (ring and pinion or
differential case) concern, carry out a visual
inspection of the rear axle.
Inspect the axle components. 1
Remove the axle assembly.
2 Remove the differential housing cover. Drain the axle lubricant through a white cloth. Check the
fluid for: ^
any foreign material.
^ metal particles.
^ burnt odor.
3 NOTE: When inspecting the axle, do not clean the components immediately. Cleaning may
remove diagnostic evidence.
Inspect the axle components.
^ Look for: loose fasteners.
- notches or visible steps or grooves created by wear.
- pitting or cracking along gear contact lines.
- scuffing or deformations.
- discolorations.
- nicks or ridges on gear teeth.
^ Clean the axle components for inspection. Remove as much lubricant as possible with clean solvent. Wipe the components or blow them dry
with compressed air.
^ Re-inspect for:

SUCTION ACCUMULATOR
NOTE: Installation of a new suction accumulator is not required when repairing the air conditioning
system except when there is physical evidence of system contamination from a failed A/C
compressor or damage to the suction accumulator.
The suction accumulator is located at the RH rear of the engine compartment. The suction
accumulator is used to prevent residual liquid refrigerant from reaching the A/C compressor after
leaving the evaporator core. The suction accumulator allows the accumulated heavier liquid
refrigerant and oil mixture to re-enter the compressor suction line at a controlled rate. A desiccant
bag is mounted inside the canister to absorb any moisture which may be in the refrigerant system.

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

Control Assembly: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7448
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7449
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Control Assembly, HVAC > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7450
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

Climate Control Assembly The climate control assembly integrates the temperature control switch,
A/C request button and rear defog switch into a single unit.
The temperature control switch setting determines air temperature. Temperature selection is
accomplished with a potentiometer (temperature control switch) connected to the temperature
blend door actuator. Movement of the temperature control switch from COOL (blue) to WARM (red)
causes a corresponding movement of the temperature blend door and determines the air discharge
temperature that the air distribution system will maintain. The temperature control switch is an
integral part of the manual climate control assembly and a new one cannot be separately installed.
The A/C request switch determines A/C compressor operation, except when the function selector
switch is in the OFF, MAX, DEFROST or FLOOR/DEFROST positions. The A/C request switch is
an integral part of the manual climate control assembly and a new one cannot be separately
installed.
The rear defog button signals activation of the heated backlight and heated mirrors. The rear defog
button is an integral part of the manual climate control assembly and a new one cannot be
separately installed.
Function Selector Switch The function selector switch combines a vacuum selector valve that
determines air distribution and an electrical switch to supply battery voltage to the A/C compressor
circuit and the blower motor circuit. When the function selector switch is in the MAX A/C,
DEFROST or FLOOR/DEFROST positions, the A/C compressor will be operational regardless of
the A/C request switch status.
Blower Motor Switch The blower motor switch controls blower motor speed by adding or bypassing
resistors in the blower motor switch resistor in all function selector switch positions except OFF.
Control System Outputs
The climate control system has 5 system outputs.
Blower Motor Resistor The blower motor resistor has 3 resistor elements mounted on the resistor
board to provide 4 blower motor speeds. Depending on the blower motor switch position, series
resistance is added or bypassed in the blower motor circuit to decrease or increase blower motor
speed. The blower motor resistor has an overheating device (thermal limiter) that opens the
resistor coil when the temperature reaches approximately 184°C (363°F), interrupting the blower
motor operation in all speeds except HIGH. The thermal limiter cannot be reset and is not
serviceable.
Temperature Blend Door Actuator The temperature blend door actuator moves the temperature
blend door on command from the temperature control switch using a reversible electric motor. The
temperature blend door actuator contains an internal controller that will recognize the temperature
control switch signal and drive the temperature blend door to the desired position.
The temperature blend door actuator is located on the LH side of the heater core and evaporator
core housing.
Vacuum Control Motors The 4 vacuum control motors move the airflow mode doors to direct
system airflow to the vehicle interior as determined by the function selector switch. Vacuum control
motors are used to control the: air inlet door.
- defrost mode door.
- panel mode door.
- floor mode door.
Heater Control Valve Vacuum Switch
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Control Assembly, HVAC > Component Information > Description
and Operation > Control Components > Page 7470
The heater control valve vacuum switch applies vacuum to the heater control valve when the
temperature blend door is in the full COOL position. The temperature blend door actuates the
heater control valve vacuum switch with an arm attached to the RH side of the temperature blend
door pivot shaft.
The heater control valve vacuum switch is mounted on the RH side of the heater core and
evaporator core housing just below the defrost door vacuum control motor.
DUAL-ZONE ELECTRONIC AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) module analyzes input from the
following major sources:
- Temperature, airflow direction and blower selection (made by the vehicle occupants)
- In-vehicle temperature
- Ambient temperature
- Sunload
- Vehicle speed
- Engine coolant temperature
Using these inputs, the dual-zone EATC module determines the correct conditions for the following
outputs:
- A/C compressor operation
- Blower speed
- LH side temperature blend door position
- RH side temperature blend door position
- Air inlet mode door position
- Defrost mode door position
- Panel mode door position
- Floor mode door position
Control System Inputs
The dual-zone EATC system has 5 control system inputs.
Climate Control Assembly (Dual-Zone EATC Module)
NOTE: If installing a new dual-zone EATC module, the new module must be configured for the
vehicle. Refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network).
The dual-zone EATC module has a vacuum fluorescent display for displaying set temperature,
airflow direction, blower speed and diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). The dual-zone EATC module
utilizes an on-board diagnostic (OBD) feature to supply the technician with DTCs. These DTCs
help direct the technician to the inoperative component.
Steering Wheel Audio/Climate Control Switch The steering wheel audio/climate control switch is
located on the right side of the steering wheel. The steering wheel audio/climate control switch
allows the driver to adjust the passenger compartment temperature setting and manually override
the blower motor speed setting.
Ambient Air Temperature Sensor The ambient air temperature sensor contains a thermistor which
measures the temperature of outside air as a resistance and sends that reading to the dual-zone
EATC module.
In-Vehicle Temperature Sensor The in-vehicle temperature sensor contains a thermistor which
measures the in-vehicle air temperature and sends that reading to the EATC module. A hose and
elbow is connected between the heater core and evaporator core housing and the in-vehicle
temperature sensor. The automatic temperature control sensor hose and elbow takes air from the
heater core and evaporator core housing air stream to create a suction in the in-vehicle
temperature sensor. The suction draws in-vehicle air into the in-vehicle temperature sensor and
across the thermistor.
Solar Radiation Sensor (Sunload Sensor) The solar radiation sensor supplies information to the
dual-zone EATC module indicating LH side and RH side sunload.
Control System Outputs
The dual-zone EATC system has 4 control system outputs.
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) Solenoid and Manifold The ATC solenoid and manifold uses
5 internal solenoid-type valves to distribute vacuum to the vacuum control motors and heater
control valve based on the dual-zone EATC module settings. Manifold vacuum is always available
at the ATC solenoid and manifold from the vacuum reservoir when the engine is running. The 4
vacuum control motors and the heater control valve vacuum lines are each connected to a
separate internal solenoid. The dual-zone EATC module will apply voltage to the desired solenoids
to open the solenoid to the manifold vacuum supply and complete the vacuum circuit to the desired
component.
Blower Motor Speed Control
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Control Assembly, HVAC > Component Information > Description
and Operation > Control Components > Page 7471
The blower speed control converts low power signals from the dual-zone EATC module to a high
current, variable ground feed for the blower motor. A delay function is used to provide a gradual
increase or decrease in blower motor speed under all conditions.
Temperature Blend Door Actuators The dual-zone EATC system uses 2 temperature blend door
actuators to control 2 separate temperature blend doors. The temperature blend doors
independently vary the LH side and RH side temperature settings, as desired. The temperature
blend door actuators each contain a reversible electric motor and a potentiometer. The dual-zone
EATC module applies a 5-volt signal to one end of the potentiometer and ground to the other. The
potentiometer wiper is connected to the actuator output shaft and moves with the output shaft. The
voltage available at the wiper indicates the position of the temperature blend door. The actuator
wiper voltage is sent to the dual-zone EATC module which drives the actuator motor in whichever
direction is necessary to make the actuator wiper voltage agree with the expected dual-zone EATC
module wiper voltage value.
Vacuum Control Motors The 4 vacuum control motors move the airflow mode doors to direct
system airflow to the vehicle interior as determined by the function selector switch. Vacuum control
motors are used to control the air inlet door.
- defrost mode door.
- panel mode door.
- floor mode door.

Control Assembly: Description and Operation Heating and Ventilation
HEATING AND VENTILATION
The heating and ventilation system has the following features:
- Controls the temperature and, during A/C operation, reduces the relative humidity of the air inside
the vehicle.
- Delivers heated or cooled air to maintain the vehicle interior temperature and comfort level.
- Cooling or heating can be adjusted to maintain the desired temperature.
- On vehicles with dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control (EATC), the temperature can
be adjusted individually by the driver and passenger.
Heater Core
The heater core consists of fins and tubes arranged to extract heat from the engine coolant and
transfer it to air passing through the heater core.
Blower Motor
The blower motor pulls air from the air inlet and forces it into the heater core and evaporator core
housing and the plenum chamber where it is mixed and distributed.
Heater Control Valve
The heater control valve is actuated by the heater control valve vacuum switch (manual climate
control) or the heater control valve vacuum control circuit (EATC). When the heater control valve is
closed (full vacuum), coolant flow through the heater core is shut OFF and A/C cooling efficiency is
increased.
Heater Core and Evaporator Core Housing
The heater core and evaporator core housing directs airflow from the blower motor through the
evaporator core and heater core. All airflow from the blower motor passes through the evaporator
core. The airflow is then directed through or around the heater core by the temperature blend
door(s). Vehicles equipped with dual-zone EATC use a partitioned heater core and evaporator core
housing with 2 electric actuator-positioned temperature blend doors. This allows for separate
temperatures to be selected for the driver and passenger sides of the passenger compartment.
Manual systems use a single electric actuator-positioned temperature blend door to direct airflow
through or around the heater core.

Evaporator Core
NOTE:
- If an evaporator core leak is suspected, the evaporator core must be vacuum leak tested before it
is removed from the vehicle.
- Installation of a new suction accumulator is not required when repairing the air conditioning
system except when there is physical evidence of system contamination from a failed A/C
compressor or damage to the suction accumulator.
The evaporator core is an aluminum plate/fin type and is located in the heater core and evaporator
core housing. A mixture of refrigerant and oil enters the bottom of the evaporator core through the
evaporator core inlet tube and continues out of the evaporator core through the evaporator core
outlet tube. Air from the blower motor is cooled and dehumidified as it flows through the evaporator
core fins.
Evaporator Core Orifice
NOTE: A new evaporator core orifice should be installed whenever a new A/C compressor is
installed.
The evaporator core orifice is located in the condenser-to-evaporator line, and can be removed
through an access fitting. The evaporator core orifice provides a restriction to the flow of refrigerant
from the high-pressure side of the refrigerant system and separates the low-pressure and
high-pressure sides of the refrigerant system.

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

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

Refrigerant: Description and Operation
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM DYE
Fluorescent refrigerant system dye is added to the refrigerant system at the factory to assist in
refrigerant system leak diagnosis using a Rotunda-approved ultraviolet blacklight. It is not
necessary to add additional dye to the refrigerant system before diagnosing leaks, even if a
significant amount of refrigerant has been removed from the system. Replacement suction
accumulators are shipped with a fluorescent dye "wafer" included in the desiccant bag which will
dissolve after approximately 30 minutes of continued A/C operation. It is not necessary to add dye
after flushing or filtering the refrigerant system because a new suction accumulator is installed as
part of the flushing or filtering procedure. Additional refrigerant system dye should only be added if
more than 50% of the refrigerant system lubricant capacity has been lost due to a fitting separation,
hose rupture or other damage.

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

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

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

WARNING:
- Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS)
vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an
accidental deployment.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury from an accidental deployment, always carry or place a live
safety canopy module with the safety canopy and tear seam pointed away from your body. Failure
to do so can result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy module deployment.
- Anytime the safety canopy has deployed, the headliner, and all A-, B-, C and D-pillar, upper trim
panels and attaching hardware must be installed new along with any other damaged components
and hardware. Failure to do so can result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy
deployment.
- Vehicles equipped with safety canopy modules require a specific headliner. When installing a new
headliner on a vehicle equipped with safety canopy modules, make sure a headliner for safety
canopy modules is being used. The word "AIRBAG" will appear on the headliner where it meets
each B-pillar trim panel. Failure to do so can result in personal injury in the event of a safety
canopy module deployment.
- Before installing a safety canopy module, inspect the roof line for any damage. If necessary, the
sheet metal must be reworked to its original condition and structural integrity. All damaged
fasteners must be installed new and any foreign material removed. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury in the event of a safety canopy deployment.
- Inspect the safety canopy before installation. If the safety canopy is damaged or the cover has
separated and the canopy material has been exposed, a new safety canopy module must be
installed. Do not attempt to repair the safety canopy module. Failure to follow these instructions can
result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy module deployment.
- To reduce the risk of injury, do not obstruct or place objects in the deployment path of the safety
canopy module. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury in the event of a
safety canopy module deployment.
- Never put any type of fastener or tie strap around any part of the safety canopy module or interior
trim panel. This will prevent the safety canopy module from deploying correctly. Failure to do so
can result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy module deployment.
- Never probe the electrical connector on a safety canopy module. Doing so can result in safety
canopy deployment.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
- The safety canopy must be installed in the vehicle using new torque-prevailing type J-nuts
(W520822, 9 per side). Use of this J-nut is mandatory so as to reduce the risk of loss of fastener
effectiveness. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury in the event of a
safety canopy deployment.
NOTE:
- The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed
and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a SRS fault.

This article supersedes TSB 07-7-8 to update the vehicle application.
ISSUE Various 2001-2007 vehicles are equipped with a restraints control module (RCM) that report
diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) which provide general fault information. These DTCs require
accessing the associated bit-mapped PIDs (fault PIDs) to identify the specific fault. Most
2001-2006 Workshop Manuals (WSM) were written using New Generation STAR Tester (NGS)
terminology and navigation which does not translate well when using Integrated Diagnostic System
(IDS), Portable Diagnostic Software (PDS) or Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS).
ACTION Refer to the Service Tips to assist with navigation of both the WSM and the scan tool
being used.
SERVICE TIPS
DTCs And Associated Fault PIDs Description
Many of the continuous memory and on-demand DTCs that can be present in the RCM provide
general fault information and require accessing the associated bit-mapped PIDs (fault PIDs) to
identify the specific concern. DTCs that use fault PIDs are conceptually different from conventional
DTCs.
Conventional DTCs identify a specific concern for a given component and point to a particular
diagnostic path. In the diagnostic path, PIDs are sometimes used to determine the root cause.

DTCs that use fault PIDs do not identify the specific concern. The DTC identifies the component(s)
or type of component(s) in which the concern exists. The next level, fault PIDs, identifies the
specific device and fault condition. Fault PIDs are available for both on-demand (active) and
continuous memory (historic or intermittent) DTCs. A scan tool must be used to view the DTCs and
their fault PIDs. The table lists those DTCs that are supported by associated fault PIDs. (Figures
1-5)
VIEWING FAULT PIDS USING SCAN TOOLS WSM Direction to FLAG DTC/View Fault PIDs
The information in viewing fault PIDs in the WSM has evolved over the years as the scan tools
have transitioned. Examples of how the WSM may direct you to view fault PIDs are:
^ FLAG DTC XXXXX/Record All Flagged Faults (2001-2006 WS Ms)
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Air Bag Systems > Air Bag Control Module > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Restraints - Control Module DTCs & Associated Fault PIDs > Page 7748
^ View and Record DTC XXXXX Fault PIDs (2007 WSM)
^ DataLogger/View and Record DTC XXXXX Fault Pids (2008 and future WSMs)
In each instance the direction is the same (view fault PIDs to identify the specific component and
fault condition) but how they are accessed by the scan tools, as well as the scan tool terminology,
will vary.
FLAG the DTC - View the Fault PIDs
For example, the "Flag" DTC feature is specific to NGS/NGS+. When using IDS/PDS it is
necessary to view the fault PIDs from DataLogger.
Using IDS/PDS
NOTE
WHEN USING IDS/PDS, MOVE THE CURSOR OVER THE PID OR SELECT THE PID TO
DISPLAY ITS DEFINITION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. WHEN USING PDS,
HIGHLIGHT OR MOVE THE STYLUS OVER THE PID TO SEE THE PID DEFINITION.
1. Perform a self test of the RCM and/or OCS module to retrieve on-demand and continuous
memory DTCs.
2. To view the fault PIDs associated with an on-demand DTC:
a. Toolbox
b. DataLogger
c. Modules
d. RCM
3. Monitor all "_OD" PID(s) matching the DTC present; follow diagnostic procedure for the PID that
reads "FAULT".
^ For example, a B2296 fault is present. In DataLogger the fault PID 2296_18_OD PID reads
"FAULT' indicating a front internal crash sensor fault.
4. To view the fault PIDs associated with a continuous memory DTC:
a. Toolbox
b. DataLogger
c. Modules
d. RCM
5. Monitor all "_CM" PID(s) matching the DTC present; follow diagnostic procedure for the PID that
reads "FAULT".
For example, a B2296 fault is present. In DataLogger the fault PID 2296_18_CM PID reads
"FAULT" indicating a front internal crash sensor fault.
IDS/PDS Fault PID Naming Conventions
The fault PIDs as displayed on IDS/PDS uses a strategy associating it with the DTC. For example,
the fault PIDs 2296_18_OD and 2296_18_CM break down as follows:
^ 2296 - The DTC number minus the "B" (body) or "C" (chassis) designation.
^ 18 - An identifier used to distinguish between each of the fault PIDs associated with the DTC.
^ OD - Identifies the fault PID as an on-demand fault.
^ CM - Identifies the fault PID as a continuous memory (intermittent) fault.
NOTE
THE DTCS AND FAULT PIDS SUPPORTED BY A VEHICLE WILL VARY DEPENDING ON
VEHICLE EQUIPMENT.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM)
WARNING:
- Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control
module (RCM) while the RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in the inadvertent deployment of the safety canopy and risk of personal
injury.
- The restraints control module (RCM) orientation is critical for correct system operation. If a vehicle
equipped with an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) has been involved in a collision in
which the center tunnel area has been damaged, inspect the mounting and bracket for
deformation. If damaged, a new RCM must be installed whether or not the air bags have deployed.
In addition, make sure the area of the RCM mounting is restored to its original condition.
CAUTION: When installing a new RCM on vehicles built 7/31/06 or after, it is necessary to carry
out programmable module installation (PMI).
NOTE: When installing a new RCM, always make sure the correct RCM is being installed. If an
incorrect RCM is installed, erroneous DTCs will result.
The RCM carries out the following functions:
- deploys the air bag(s) in the event of a deployable crash.
- activates the safety belt buckle pretensioner and safety belt adaptive load limiting retractor to
control tension on the safety belt.
- monitors the SRS for faults.
- requests the illumination of the air bag indicator if a fault is detected.
- communicates through the DLC the on-demand or continuous DTCs.
The RCM monitors the SRS for possible faults. If a fault is detected while the ignition switch is in
the ON position, the RCM will request illumination of the air bag indicator located in the instrument
cluster.
When the ignition is cycled (turned OFF and then ON), the air bag indicator will prove out by
lighting for 6 seconds and then off. If a SRS fault exists, the air bag indicator will illuminate and
remain illuminated for the rest of the key cycle. The RCM will also communicate the on-demand
(current) and continuous (historical) DTCs through the DLC, to the scan tool. If the RCM requests
illumination of the air bag indicator and the air bag indicator does not function, the instrument
cluster module will automatically activate an audible chime. The chime is a series of 5 sets of 5
tone bursts. If the chime is heard, the SRS and the air bag indicator require repair.
The RCM includes a backup power supply. This feature provides sufficient backup power to deploy
the air bags in the event that the ignition circuit is lost or damaged during impact. The backup
power supply will deplete its stored energy approximately one minute after the battery ground cable
is disconnected.

WARNING:
- Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag SRS vehicle and when handling an air bag
module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
- Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control
module (RCM) while the RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in the inadvertent deployment of the safety canopy and risk of personal
injury.
- The RCM orientation is critical for correct air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) operation.
If a vehicle equipped with an SRS system has been involved in a collision in which the center
tunnel area has been damaged, inspect the mounting and bracket for deformation. If damaged, the
RCM must be installed new whether or not the air bags have deployed. In addition, make sure the
area of

the RCM mounting is restored to its original condition.
- Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for correct system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air
bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is involved in a collision, inspect the sensor mounting
bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. Install a new sensor and correctly position the sensor or
any other damaged SRS components whether or not the air bag is deployed.
- The tightening torque of the air bag RCM retaining nuts is critical for correct system operation.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
CAUTION:
- Electronic modules are sensitive to static electrical charges. If exposed to these charges, damage
can result.
- When installing a new RCM on vehicles built 7/31/06 or after, it is necessary to carry out
programmable module installation (PMI). See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Information Bus/Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning
NOTE:
- When installing a new RCM, always make sure the correct RCM is being installed. If an incorrect
RCM is installed, erroneous DTCs will result.
- The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is
ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a SRS fault.
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
- Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install
the original part and carry out the diagnostic procedure again.
Vehicles built 7/31/06 or after 1. Carry out the steps necessary to prepare for programmable
module installation (PMI).

is needed to get the connector into position on the RCM before using the lever to fully seat the
connector.
With the large RCM electrical connector uniformly aligned to the RCM, lightly push in until a subtle
audible click is heard and a slight resistance is felt.
- Using the connector position assurance lever, pivot it toward the RCM, drawing the connector into
the RCM. Make sure the thumb tab is engaged to the retainer on the RCM and locked in place.
7. Install the floor console. 8. Repower the system. Do not prove out the SRS at this time.
Vehicles built 7/31/06 or after 9. Carry out the steps necessary to complete PMI.
All vehicles 10. Prove out the supplemental restraint system (SRS) as follows:
Turn the ignition switch from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition switch back to ON
and visually monitor the air bag indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag indicator
will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS fault is
present, the air bag indicator will: fail to light.
- remain lit continuously.
- flash at a 5 Hz rate (RCM not configured).
The air bag indicator might not light until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has
been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the
testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime will sound
in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag indicator and any SRS fault discovered
must be diagnosed and repaired.
Clear all continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the RCM and occupant classification
sensor (OCS) module using a scan tool.

Air Bag Deactivation Indicator: Description and Operation
PASSENGER AIR BAG DEACTIVATION (PAD) INDICATOR
The passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) indicator is a visual indicator used to inform the front
seat occupants of the passenger air bag deactivation state. The PAD indicator is a stand-alone
lamp installed into the vehicle instrument panel in a position visible to each front seat occupant.
The RCM controls the state of the PAD indicator through a direct hardware connection, based on
information provided by the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system. The PAD indicator is lit
to indicate the passenger air bag module is disabled. An exemption to this is when the front
passenger seat is determined to be empty and passenger safety belt buckle unbuckled, and
therefore indication of a deactivated passenger air bag module is not necessary. In all other cases,
the PAD indicator is unlit when the passenger air bag module is enabled. When the ignition switch
is in the ON position, the PAD indicator prove-out period is initiated by the RCM. The RCM briefly
activates the PAD indicator to prove-out the indicator function and verify to the front occupants
correct functional operation of the PAD indicator.
The PAD indicator will be lit/unlit within 1.0 to 1.5 seconds of a change of state from the OCS
system.
When an OCS system fault is present, the RCM defaults the passenger air bag module to the last
valid state received from the OCS system until the ignition switch is turned OFF. If the OCS system
fault is still present when the ignition switch is turned ON, the RCM defaults the passenger air bag
module to enabled regardless of the size of occupant in the front passenger seat. The PAD
indicator will be unlit.
Passenger Air Bag And PAD Indicator Status
The above table indicates the passenger air bag status and the PAD indicator status based the
size of the front outboard passenger occupant

- The restraints control module (RCM) orientation is critical for correct system operation. If a vehicle
equipped with an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) has been involved in a collision in
which the center tunnel area has been damaged, inspect the mounting and bracket for
deformation. If damaged, a new RCM must be installed whether or not the air bags have deployed.
In addition, make sure the area of the RCM mounting is restored to its original condition.
- Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for correct restraint system operation. If a vehicle equipped
with an SRS is involved in a collision, inspect the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for
deformation. Replace and correctly position the sensor or any other damaged SRS components
whether or not the air bag is deployed.
For these vehicles, the SRS uses up to 6 satellite sensors in addition to the RCM. The RCM is
mounted to the center tunnel beneath the console. All vehicles will have 2 front impact severity
sensors located in the front-center area of the vehicle, behind the grille mounted on the lower
radiator support. The first row impact sensors are located in each of the front doors behind the trim
panel. If the vehicle is equipped with safety canopies, there are 2 additional side impact sensors.
The 2 additional sensors are located on each C-pillar. Mounting orientation and torque is critical for
correct operation of all impact and rollover sensors.

Seat Occupant Sensor: Description and Operation OCS System
OCS System
The OCS system is found only on the front passenger seat. The front passenger OCS system is
comprised of the following: 2 OCS rails (weight sensors) that are mounted to each side of the seat
track; an OCS module (electronic control unit) which is mounted to the electrical bracket
underneath the seat cushion pan. The weight of any occupant or object on the front passenger seat
is electronically communicated to the OCS module.
The OCS system is also used for operation of the passenger Belt Minder. To deactivate or
reactivate the passenger Belt Minder feature, refer to Seat Belt Systems or the owner's literature.
The components that make up the OCS system, OCS module, inboard OCS rail and outboard OCS
rail are serviced separately.
When the front passenger seat is removed for service, the Zero Seat Weight Test must be carried
out after the installation of the front passenger seat. When a OCS system component is installed
new, the System Reset must be carried out after the installation of the front passenger seat. The
Zero Seat Weight Test and/or System Reset must be carried out only as instructed to do so.

ISSUE Various 2001-2007 vehicles are equipped with a restraints control module (RCM) that report
diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) which provide general fault information. These DTCs require
accessing the associated bit-mapped PIDs (fault PIDs) to identify the specific fault. Most
2001-2006 Workshop Manuals (WSM) were written using New Generation STAR Tester (NGS)
terminology and navigation which does not translate well when using Integrated Diagnostic System
(IDS), Portable Diagnostic Software (PDS) or Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS).
ACTION Refer to the Service Tips to assist with navigation of both the WSM and the scan tool
being used.
SERVICE TIPS
DTCs And Associated Fault PIDs Description
Many of the continuous memory and on-demand DTCs that can be present in the RCM provide
general fault information and require accessing the associated bit-mapped PIDs (fault PIDs) to
identify the specific concern. DTCs that use fault PIDs are conceptually different from conventional
DTCs.
Conventional DTCs identify a specific concern for a given component and point to a particular
diagnostic path. In the diagnostic path, PIDs are sometimes used to determine the root cause.

DTCs that use fault PIDs do not identify the specific concern. The DTC identifies the component(s)
or type of component(s) in which the concern exists. The next level, fault PIDs, identifies the
specific device and fault condition. Fault PIDs are available for both on-demand (active) and
continuous memory (historic or intermittent) DTCs. A scan tool must be used to view the DTCs and
their fault PIDs. The table lists those DTCs that are supported by associated fault PIDs. (Figures
1-5)
VIEWING FAULT PIDS USING SCAN TOOLS WSM Direction to FLAG DTC/View Fault PIDs
The information in viewing fault PIDs in the WSM has evolved over the years as the scan tools
have transitioned. Examples of how the WSM may direct you to view fault PIDs are:
^ FLAG DTC XXXXX/Record All Flagged Faults (2001-2006 WS Ms)
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Relays and Modules - Restraint Systems > Air Bag Control Module >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Restraints - Control Module DTCs & Associated Fault PIDs > Page
7847
^ View and Record DTC XXXXX Fault PIDs (2007 WSM)
^ DataLogger/View and Record DTC XXXXX Fault Pids (2008 and future WSMs)
In each instance the direction is the same (view fault PIDs to identify the specific component and
fault condition) but how they are accessed by the scan tools, as well as the scan tool terminology,
will vary.
FLAG the DTC - View the Fault PIDs
For example, the "Flag" DTC feature is specific to NGS/NGS+. When using IDS/PDS it is
necessary to view the fault PIDs from DataLogger.
Using IDS/PDS
NOTE
WHEN USING IDS/PDS, MOVE THE CURSOR OVER THE PID OR SELECT THE PID TO
DISPLAY ITS DEFINITION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. WHEN USING PDS,
HIGHLIGHT OR MOVE THE STYLUS OVER THE PID TO SEE THE PID DEFINITION.
1. Perform a self test of the RCM and/or OCS module to retrieve on-demand and continuous
memory DTCs.
2. To view the fault PIDs associated with an on-demand DTC:
a. Toolbox
b. DataLogger
c. Modules
d. RCM
3. Monitor all "_OD" PID(s) matching the DTC present; follow diagnostic procedure for the PID that
reads "FAULT".
^ For example, a B2296 fault is present. In DataLogger the fault PID 2296_18_OD PID reads
"FAULT' indicating a front internal crash sensor fault.
4. To view the fault PIDs associated with a continuous memory DTC:
a. Toolbox
b. DataLogger
c. Modules
d. RCM
5. Monitor all "_CM" PID(s) matching the DTC present; follow diagnostic procedure for the PID that
reads "FAULT".
For example, a B2296 fault is present. In DataLogger the fault PID 2296_18_CM PID reads
"FAULT" indicating a front internal crash sensor fault.
IDS/PDS Fault PID Naming Conventions
The fault PIDs as displayed on IDS/PDS uses a strategy associating it with the DTC. For example,
the fault PIDs 2296_18_OD and 2296_18_CM break down as follows:
^ 2296 - The DTC number minus the "B" (body) or "C" (chassis) designation.
^ 18 - An identifier used to distinguish between each of the fault PIDs associated with the DTC.
^ OD - Identifies the fault PID as an on-demand fault.
^ CM - Identifies the fault PID as a continuous memory (intermittent) fault.
NOTE
THE DTCS AND FAULT PIDS SUPPORTED BY A VEHICLE WILL VARY DEPENDING ON
VEHICLE EQUIPMENT.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM)
WARNING:
- Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control
module (RCM) while the RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in the inadvertent deployment of the safety canopy and risk of personal
injury.
- The restraints control module (RCM) orientation is critical for correct system operation. If a vehicle
equipped with an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) has been involved in a collision in
which the center tunnel area has been damaged, inspect the mounting and bracket for
deformation. If damaged, a new RCM must be installed whether or not the air bags have deployed.
In addition, make sure the area of the RCM mounting is restored to its original condition.
CAUTION: When installing a new RCM on vehicles built 7/31/06 or after, it is necessary to carry
out programmable module installation (PMI).
NOTE: When installing a new RCM, always make sure the correct RCM is being installed. If an
incorrect RCM is installed, erroneous DTCs will result.
The RCM carries out the following functions:
- deploys the air bag(s) in the event of a deployable crash.
- activates the safety belt buckle pretensioner and safety belt adaptive load limiting retractor to
control tension on the safety belt.
- monitors the SRS for faults.
- requests the illumination of the air bag indicator if a fault is detected.
- communicates through the DLC the on-demand or continuous DTCs.
The RCM monitors the SRS for possible faults. If a fault is detected while the ignition switch is in
the ON position, the RCM will request illumination of the air bag indicator located in the instrument
cluster.
When the ignition is cycled (turned OFF and then ON), the air bag indicator will prove out by
lighting for 6 seconds and then off. If a SRS fault exists, the air bag indicator will illuminate and
remain illuminated for the rest of the key cycle. The RCM will also communicate the on-demand
(current) and continuous (historical) DTCs through the DLC, to the scan tool. If the RCM requests
illumination of the air bag indicator and the air bag indicator does not function, the instrument
cluster module will automatically activate an audible chime. The chime is a series of 5 sets of 5
tone bursts. If the chime is heard, the SRS and the air bag indicator require repair.
The RCM includes a backup power supply. This feature provides sufficient backup power to deploy
the air bags in the event that the ignition circuit is lost or damaged during impact. The backup
power supply will deplete its stored energy approximately one minute after the battery ground cable
is disconnected.

the RCM mounting is restored to its original condition.
- Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for correct system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air
bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is involved in a collision, inspect the sensor mounting
bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. Install a new sensor and correctly position the sensor or
any other damaged SRS components whether or not the air bag is deployed.
- The tightening torque of the air bag RCM retaining nuts is critical for correct system operation.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
CAUTION:
- Electronic modules are sensitive to static electrical charges. If exposed to these charges, damage
can result.
- When installing a new RCM on vehicles built 7/31/06 or after, it is necessary to carry out
programmable module installation (PMI). See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Information Bus/Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning
NOTE:
- When installing a new RCM, always make sure the correct RCM is being installed. If an incorrect
RCM is installed, erroneous DTCs will result.
- The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is
ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a SRS fault.
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
- Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install
the original part and carry out the diagnostic procedure again.

This article supersedes TSB 07-7-8 to update the vehicle application.
ISSUE Various 2001-2007 vehicles are equipped with a restraints control module (RCM) that report
diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) which provide general fault information. These DTCs require
accessing the associated bit-mapped PIDs (fault PIDs) to identify the specific fault. Most
2001-2006 Workshop Manuals (WSM) were written using New Generation STAR Tester (NGS)
terminology and navigation which does not translate well when using Integrated Diagnostic System
(IDS), Portable Diagnostic Software (PDS) or Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS).
ACTION Refer to the Service Tips to assist with navigation of both the WSM and the scan tool
being used.
SERVICE TIPS
DTCs And Associated Fault PIDs Description
Many of the continuous memory and on-demand DTCs that can be present in the RCM provide
general fault information and require accessing the associated bit-mapped PIDs (fault PIDs) to
identify the specific concern. DTCs that use fault PIDs are conceptually different from conventional
DTCs.
Conventional DTCs identify a specific concern for a given component and point to a particular
diagnostic path. In the diagnostic path, PIDs are sometimes used to determine the root cause.

DTCs that use fault PIDs do not identify the specific concern. The DTC identifies the component(s)
or type of component(s) in which the concern exists. The next level, fault PIDs, identifies the
specific device and fault condition. Fault PIDs are available for both on-demand (active) and
continuous memory (historic or intermittent) DTCs. A scan tool must be used to view the DTCs and
their fault PIDs. The table lists those DTCs that are supported by associated fault PIDs. (Figures
1-5)
VIEWING FAULT PIDS USING SCAN TOOLS WSM Direction to FLAG DTC/View Fault PIDs
The information in viewing fault PIDs in the WSM has evolved over the years as the scan tools
have transitioned. Examples of how the WSM may direct you to view fault PIDs are:
^ FLAG DTC XXXXX/Record All Flagged Faults (2001-2006 WS Ms)
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Relays and Modules - Restraint Systems > Seat Belt Control Module >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Restraints - Control Module DTCs & Associated Fault PIDs > Page
7868
^ View and Record DTC XXXXX Fault PIDs (2007 WSM)
^ DataLogger/View and Record DTC XXXXX Fault Pids (2008 and future WSMs)
In each instance the direction is the same (view fault PIDs to identify the specific component and
fault condition) but how they are accessed by the scan tools, as well as the scan tool terminology,
will vary.
FLAG the DTC - View the Fault PIDs
For example, the "Flag" DTC feature is specific to NGS/NGS+. When using IDS/PDS it is
necessary to view the fault PIDs from DataLogger.
Using IDS/PDS
NOTE
WHEN USING IDS/PDS, MOVE THE CURSOR OVER THE PID OR SELECT THE PID TO
DISPLAY ITS DEFINITION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. WHEN USING PDS,
HIGHLIGHT OR MOVE THE STYLUS OVER THE PID TO SEE THE PID DEFINITION.
1. Perform a self test of the RCM and/or OCS module to retrieve on-demand and continuous
memory DTCs.
2. To view the fault PIDs associated with an on-demand DTC:
a. Toolbox
b. DataLogger
c. Modules
d. RCM
3. Monitor all "_OD" PID(s) matching the DTC present; follow diagnostic procedure for the PID that
reads "FAULT".
^ For example, a B2296 fault is present. In DataLogger the fault PID 2296_18_OD PID reads
"FAULT' indicating a front internal crash sensor fault.
4. To view the fault PIDs associated with a continuous memory DTC:
a. Toolbox
b. DataLogger
c. Modules
d. RCM
5. Monitor all "_CM" PID(s) matching the DTC present; follow diagnostic procedure for the PID that
reads "FAULT".
For example, a B2296 fault is present. In DataLogger the fault PID 2296_18_CM PID reads
"FAULT" indicating a front internal crash sensor fault.
IDS/PDS Fault PID Naming Conventions
The fault PIDs as displayed on IDS/PDS uses a strategy associating it with the DTC. For example,
the fault PIDs 2296_18_OD and 2296_18_CM break down as follows:
^ 2296 - The DTC number minus the "B" (body) or "C" (chassis) designation.
^ 18 - An identifier used to distinguish between each of the fault PIDs associated with the DTC.
^ OD - Identifies the fault PID as an on-demand fault.
^ CM - Identifies the fault PID as a continuous memory (intermittent) fault.
NOTE
THE DTCS AND FAULT PIDS SUPPORTED BY A VEHICLE WILL VARY DEPENDING ON
VEHICLE EQUIPMENT.

OCS SYSTEM MODULE
Based on programmed limits, the OCS module will inform the RCM, via a High Speed Controller
Area Network (HS-CAN), of the necessary information. The RCM uses this information in
determining if the passenger air bag module or passenger seat side air bag module is to be
deployed in the event of a deployable collision.
The OCS module monitors the OCS system for faults and communicates on-demand and
continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) via the DLC with the use of a scan tool.
The components that make up the OCS system, OCS system module, inboard OCS rail and
outboard OCS rail are serviced separately.

Child Seat Tether Attachment: Description and Operation
Child Safety Seat Tether Anchors
WARNING: The child safety seat tether anchor/bolt MUST be securely tightened to specification.
Otherwise, the child safety seat may not be correctly secured and the child could be injured if the
vehicle is involved in a collision or stops suddenly.
The second row outboard child safety seat tether anchors for a 5-passenger vehicle are located
directly behind the seat, attached to the floor pan protruding from the carpet. Either of the tether
anchors for a 5-passenger vehicle located near the back hatch door can be used for the second
row center child safety seat tether anchor. There are also 2 child safety seat tether anchors/cargo
tie downs located in the scuff plate at the back edge of the door.
The 3 second row seats of a 7-passenger vehicle have child safety seat tether anchors that are
located directly behind the second row seats attached to the floor pan, protruding from the carpet.
The 2 third row child safety seat tether anchors are located directly behind the seat near the back
hatch door.
If the child safety seat tether anchors were in use during a collision, inspect and install new anchors
as necessary. Return the vehicle structure to its original production configuration.
Lower Anchors And Tethers For Children (LATCH)
The lower anchors and tethers for children (LATCH) system is a standardized and uniform
attachment system for installing child safety seats in passenger vehicles. LATCH-equipped child
safety seats have 2 lower attachments that connect to the vehicle portion of the LATCH system.
The vehicle portion of the system consists of 2 attachment points (6-mm wires) welded to the seat
cushion frame. The attachment points protrude from the biteline between the seat cushion and seat
backrest at the second row outboard seating positions.
If a child safety seat was in use during a collision, inspect the vehicle portion of the system for
damage. If any of the attachment points (6-mm wires) are damaged, install a new seat cushion
frame.

SAFETY BELT EXTENSION ASSEMBLY
In certain cases, the safety belt may be too short even when it is fully extended. About 20 cm (8 in)
can be added to the belt length by using a safety belt extension. Safety belt extensions are
available at no cost from any Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer parts department. Safety belt
extensions are only available with black webbing.
Use only extensions manufactured by the same supplier as the safety belt. Manufacturer
identification is located at the end of the webbing on the label. Also, use the safety belt extension
only if the safety belt is too short for you when fully extended. Do not use an extension to change
the fit of the shoulder belt across the torso.

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

Seat Belt Buckle Switch: Description and Operation
SAFETY BELT BUCKLE SWITCHES
As part of the SRS, the front safety belt buckles are equipped with safety belt buckle switches. The
safety belt buckle switches are comprised of integrated circuits called Hall-effect sensors. The
safety belt buckle switches (Hall-effect sensors) are located in the driver and front passenger safety
belt buckles. The safety belt buckle switches indicate to the RCM whether the safety belts are
buckled or unbuckled. The RCM uses this information in determining the deployment rate of the
dual-stage driver and passenger air bag modules. The RCM also communicates the driver safety
belt buckle switch status to the instrument cluster module, which monitors the information to control
the safety belt warning indicator.

This article supersedes TSB 07-7-8 to update the vehicle application.
ISSUE Various 2001-2007 vehicles are equipped with a restraints control module (RCM) that report
diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) which provide general fault information. These DTCs require
accessing the associated bit-mapped PIDs (fault PIDs) to identify the specific fault. Most
2001-2006 Workshop Manuals (WSM) were written using New Generation STAR Tester (NGS)
terminology and navigation which does not translate well when using Integrated Diagnostic System
(IDS), Portable Diagnostic Software (PDS) or Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS).
ACTION Refer to the Service Tips to assist with navigation of both the WSM and the scan tool
being used.
SERVICE TIPS
DTCs And Associated Fault PIDs Description
Many of the continuous memory and on-demand DTCs that can be present in the RCM provide
general fault information and require accessing the associated bit-mapped PIDs (fault PIDs) to
identify the specific concern. DTCs that use fault PIDs are conceptually different from conventional
DTCs.
Conventional DTCs identify a specific concern for a given component and point to a particular
diagnostic path. In the diagnostic path, PIDs are sometimes used to determine the root cause.

DTCs that use fault PIDs do not identify the specific concern. The DTC identifies the component(s)
or type of component(s) in which the concern exists. The next level, fault PIDs, identifies the
specific device and fault condition. Fault PIDs are available for both on-demand (active) and
continuous memory (historic or intermittent) DTCs. A scan tool must be used to view the DTCs and
their fault PIDs. The table lists those DTCs that are supported by associated fault PIDs. (Figures
1-5)
VIEWING FAULT PIDS USING SCAN TOOLS WSM Direction to FLAG DTC/View Fault PIDs
The information in viewing fault PIDs in the WSM has evolved over the years as the scan tools
have transitioned. Examples of how the WSM may direct you to view fault PIDs are:
^ FLAG DTC XXXXX/Record All Flagged Faults (2001-2006 WS Ms)
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Seat Belt Systems > Seat Belt Control Module > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Restraints - Control Module DTCs & Associated Fault PIDs > Page 7942
^ View and Record DTC XXXXX Fault PIDs (2007 WSM)
^ DataLogger/View and Record DTC XXXXX Fault Pids (2008 and future WSMs)
In each instance the direction is the same (view fault PIDs to identify the specific component and
fault condition) but how they are accessed by the scan tools, as well as the scan tool terminology,
will vary.
FLAG the DTC - View the Fault PIDs
For example, the "Flag" DTC feature is specific to NGS/NGS+. When using IDS/PDS it is
necessary to view the fault PIDs from DataLogger.
Using IDS/PDS
NOTE
WHEN USING IDS/PDS, MOVE THE CURSOR OVER THE PID OR SELECT THE PID TO
DISPLAY ITS DEFINITION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. WHEN USING PDS,
HIGHLIGHT OR MOVE THE STYLUS OVER THE PID TO SEE THE PID DEFINITION.
1. Perform a self test of the RCM and/or OCS module to retrieve on-demand and continuous
memory DTCs.
2. To view the fault PIDs associated with an on-demand DTC:
a. Toolbox
b. DataLogger
c. Modules
d. RCM
3. Monitor all "_OD" PID(s) matching the DTC present; follow diagnostic procedure for the PID that
reads "FAULT".
^ For example, a B2296 fault is present. In DataLogger the fault PID 2296_18_OD PID reads
"FAULT' indicating a front internal crash sensor fault.
4. To view the fault PIDs associated with a continuous memory DTC:
a. Toolbox
b. DataLogger
c. Modules
d. RCM
5. Monitor all "_CM" PID(s) matching the DTC present; follow diagnostic procedure for the PID that
reads "FAULT".
For example, a B2296 fault is present. In DataLogger the fault PID 2296_18_CM PID reads
"FAULT" indicating a front internal crash sensor fault.
IDS/PDS Fault PID Naming Conventions
The fault PIDs as displayed on IDS/PDS uses a strategy associating it with the DTC. For example,
the fault PIDs 2296_18_OD and 2296_18_CM break down as follows:
^ 2296 - The DTC number minus the "B" (body) or "C" (chassis) designation.
^ 18 - An identifier used to distinguish between each of the fault PIDs associated with the DTC.
^ OD - Identifies the fault PID as an on-demand fault.
^ CM - Identifies the fault PID as a continuous memory (intermittent) fault.
NOTE
THE DTCS AND FAULT PIDS SUPPORTED BY A VEHICLE WILL VARY DEPENDING ON
VEHICLE EQUIPMENT.

Description and Operation
Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation
Safety Belt Warning Indicator And Chime
The warning indicator and chime are reminders to fasten the safety belt. The system operates as
follows: If the driver safety belt is not buckled before the ignition switch is turned to the RUN or START
position, the indicator will illuminate for 1-2 minutes and the chime will sound for 4-8 seconds.
- If the driver safety belt is buckled while the indicator is on and the chime is sounding, both the
indicator and chime will turn off.
- If the safety belt is buckled before the ignition is turned to the ON position, neither the indicator
nor the chime will turn on.
Belt Minder
The Belt Minder feature is a supplemental warning to the safety belt warning function. This feature
provides an additional reminder that the driver's and/or front passenger's safety belt is unbuckled
by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning lamp in the instrument
cluster.
To activate or deactivate the Belt Minder feature, refer to Seat Belt Systems or the owner's
literature.

Seat Belt Retractor: Description and Operation Safety Belt Systems
Safety Belt Adaptive Load Limiting Retractor
This vehicle is equipped with a driver and front passenger adaptive load limiting retractors.
Adaptive load limiting retractors are pyrotechnic devices integrated to the driver and front
passenger safety belt retractor assemblies. Adaptive load limiting retractors work in conjunction
with the safety belt buckle pretensioners to control the tension of the driver and front passenger
safety belts. The RCM monitors the readiness of the adaptive load limiting retractor. The RCM uses
this information and all other information provided by the restraints system to determine what action
to be taken.
Dual Locking Mode Retractors
WARNING: After any vehicle collision, the safety belt system at all outboard seating positions
(except driver, which has no automatic locking retractor [ALR] feature) must be checked by a
qualified technician to verify that the ALR feature for child seats is still functioning correctly, in
addition to other checks for correct safety belt system function. A new belt and retractor assembly
must be installed if the safety belt assembly's ALR feature or any other safety belt function is not
operating correctly when checked according to the procedures. Failure to install a new belt and
retractor assembly could increase the risk of injury in collisions.
NOTE: When installing a dual locking mode retractor, the retractor should be checked to make sure
it is not in the automatic locking retractor (ALR) mode after installation in the stowed position.
All outboard continuous-loop, 3-point retractor systems, except the driver position, are equipped
with the dual locking mode system.
The emergency locking retractor (ELR) mode will allow the occupant freedom of movement, locking
tight only on hard braking, hard cornering or an impact of approximately 8 km/h (5 mph). The ELR
mode helps to reduce the forward movement of the driver and passengers. The ELR mode is
continuously in operation at all seating positions.
The ALR portion of this system does not allow the occupant freedom of movement. The ALR mode
is used when locking a child safety seat in an outboard seating position or when a tight belt fit is
desired. The ALR mode is disengaged when the webbing is free to move in or out of the retractor.
The ALR mode is automatically engaged when the webbing is fully extracted from the retractor and
then allowed to retract. As the webbing is retracted back onto the spool, an audible clicking sound
is made, indicating that the retractor is in ALR mode. The ALR mode is automatically disengaged
when most of the webbing is retracted back onto the spool.
The automatic locking mode must be used when installing a child safety seat in the front or rear
passenger seating positions where dual locking mode retractors are provided.
Energy Management Retractor
This vehicle has a safety belt system with an energy management feature at the front seating
positions to help further reduce the risk of injury in the event of a head-on collision.
The energy management retractor feature is designed to pay out webbing in a controlled manner.
This feature is designed to help reduce the belt force acting on an occupant's chest.

- The safety belt retractor is a pyrotechnic device. Always wear safety glasses when repairing an
air bag equipped vehicle and when handling a safety belt buckle pretensioner or safety belt
retractor pretensioner. Never probe a pretensioner electrical connector. Doing so could result in
pretensioner or air bag deployment and could result in personal injury.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
NOTE:
- The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the restraint control module (RCM) fuse is removed
and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental
restraint system (SRS) fault.
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
- Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install
the original part and carry out the diagnostic procedure again.

WARNING:
- All safety belt assemblies (including retractors, belt tension sensors [BTS] if equipped, buckles,
shoulder belt height adjusters [if equipped], child safety seat tether attachments and attaching
hardware) should be inspected after any collision. All new belt assemblies should be installed
unless a qualified technician finds the assemblies show no damage and operate correctly. Belt
assemblies not in use during a collision should also be inspected and new assemblies installed if
either damage or incorrect operation is noted. Failure to follow these instructions could increase the
risk of injury in collisions.
- The safety belt pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device. Always wear safety glasses when repairing
an air bag equipped vehicle and when handling a safety belt buckle pretensioner or safety belt
retractor pretensioner. Never probe a pretensioner electrical connector. Doing so could result in
pretensioner or air bag deployment and could result in personal injury.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
NOTE:
- If a seat equipped with a supplemental restraint system (SRS) component is being serviced, the
SRS must be depowered.
- The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the restraint control module (RCM) fuse is removed
and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a SRS fault.
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

WARNING:
- The restraints control module (RCM) orientation is critical for correct system operation. If a vehicle
equipped with an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) has been involved in a collision in
which the center tunnel area has been damaged, inspect the mounting and bracket for
deformation. If damaged, a new RCM must be installed whether or not the air bags have deployed.
In addition, make sure the area of the RCM mounting is restored to its original condition.
- Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for correct restraint system operation. If a vehicle equipped
with an SRS is involved in a collision, inspect the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for
deformation. Replace and correctly position the sensor or any other damaged SRS components
whether or not the air bag is deployed.
For these vehicles, the SRS uses up to 6 satellite sensors in addition to the RCM. The RCM is
mounted to the center tunnel beneath the console. All vehicles will have 2 front impact severity
sensors located in the front-center area of the vehicle, behind the grille mounted on the lower
radiator support. The first row impact sensors are located in each of the front doors behind the trim
panel. If the vehicle is equipped with safety canopies, there are 2 additional side impact sensors.
The 2 additional sensors are located on each C-pillar. Mounting orientation and torque is critical for
correct operation of all impact and rollover sensors.

Seat Belt Buckle Switch: Description and Operation
SAFETY BELT BUCKLE SWITCHES
As part of the SRS, the front safety belt buckles are equipped with safety belt buckle switches. The
safety belt buckle switches are comprised of integrated circuits called Hall-effect sensors. The
safety belt buckle switches (Hall-effect sensors) are located in the driver and front passenger safety
belt buckles. The safety belt buckle switches indicate to the RCM whether the safety belts are
buckled or unbuckled. The RCM uses this information in determining the deployment rate of the
dual-stage driver and passenger air bag modules. The RCM also communicates the driver safety
belt buckle switch status to the instrument cluster module, which monitors the information to control
the safety belt warning indicator.

Seat Occupant Sensor: Description and Operation OCS System
OCS System
The OCS system is found only on the front passenger seat. The front passenger OCS system is
comprised of the following: 2 OCS rails (weight sensors) that are mounted to each side of the seat
track; an OCS module (electronic control unit) which is mounted to the electrical bracket
underneath the seat cushion pan. The weight of any occupant or object on the front passenger seat
is electronically communicated to the OCS module.
The OCS system is also used for operation of the passenger Belt Minder. To deactivate or
reactivate the passenger Belt Minder feature, refer to Seat Belt Systems or the owner's literature.
The components that make up the OCS system, OCS module, inboard OCS rail and outboard OCS
rail are serviced separately.
When the front passenger seat is removed for service, the Zero Seat Weight Test must be carried
out after the installation of the front passenger seat. When a OCS system component is installed
new, the System Reset must be carried out after the installation of the front passenger seat. The
Zero Seat Weight Test and/or System Reset must be carried out only as instructed to do so.

ISSUE Some 2006-2007 vehicles equipped with a Pioneer Navigation Radio may appear to have a
defective seek function. It may be reported that the radio Seek function is inoperative, Seek will not
stop (keeps scrolling through stations) or the radio exhibits Poor FM reception. This may be due to
a misunderstanding of how the operation of the PTY (Program Type) feature functions. The PTY
feature filters out radio stations that do not fit a selected category of radio programming like: Top
40, Classical, and News. The result is a "continuous seek" condition if the feature is activated and
no stations are found under the selected category.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure to identify the PTY (Program Type) setting.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
To confirm the PTY (Program Type) setting use the following steps:
1. Under MEDIA, select the FM tab. (If you do not see an RDS and PTY button, push the SHOW
OPTIONS buttons).
2. Verify RDS and PTY are enabled by the buttons being illuminated. If the text, above the SET
PTY button says anything other than ALL, the unit is filtering for radio stations that transmit RDS
text and are categorized as the selected Program Type, like: Top 40, Classical, and News. (See
Figure 1)
3. To change the setting, either press the SET PTY button and select ALL. Or disable the PTY
feature by pushing the PTY button.

Navigation System: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located

PIONEER NAVIGATION RADIO - SEEK FUNCTION INOPERATIVE - SERVICE TIP
FORD: 2006-2007 Five Hundred, Freestyle 2007 Fusion, Mustang 2006-2007 Explorer 2007 Edge,
Expedition, Explorer Sport Trac, F-150
LINCOLN: 2006 Zephyr 2007 MKZ, Mark LT, MKX, Navigator
MERCURY: 2006-2007 Montego 2007 Milan 2006-2007 Mountaineer
ISSUE Some 2006-2007 vehicles equipped with a Pioneer Navigation Radio may appear to have a
defective seek function. It may be reported that the radio Seek function is inoperative, Seek will not
stop (keeps scrolling through stations) or the radio exhibits Poor FM reception. This may be due to
a misunderstanding of how the operation of the PTY (Program Type) feature functions. The PTY
feature filters out radio stations that do not fit a selected category of radio programming like: Top
40, Classical, and News. The result is a "continuous seek" condition if the feature is activated and
no stations are found under the selected category.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure to identify the PTY (Program Type) setting.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
To confirm the PTY (Program Type) setting use the following steps:
1. Under MEDIA, select the FM tab. (If you do not see an RDS and PTY button, push the SHOW
OPTIONS buttons).
2. Verify RDS and PTY are enabled by the buttons being illuminated. If the text, above the SET
PTY button says anything other than ALL, the unit is filtering for radio stations that transmit RDS
text and are categorized as the selected Program Type, like: Top 40, Classical, and News. (See
Figure 1)
3. To change the setting, either press the SET PTY button and select ALL. Or disable the PTY
feature by pushing the PTY button.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Trailer Connector: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8380
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8381
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

Removal
NOTE:
- The steps included in the SJB removal and installation procedure are critical to restoring the
vehicle security and tire pressure monitoring systems to normal operation. A new SJB is delivered
in manufacturing mode with 6 pre-set diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to the tire pressure
monitoring system. The presence of these DTCs requires the installation procedures be followed in
order to clear the DTCs and enable normal SJB operations.
- Prior to the removal of the SJB, it is necessary to upload the module configuration information to
the diagnostic tool. This information must be downloaded to the new SJB after installation.
1. Remove the driver door scuff plate. 2. Position the LH door opening weather seal aside.
3. NOTE: While pulling the trim panel rearward, pull the hood release lever rearward in order for
the release lever to slide through the trim panel.

4. Remove the 2 bolts and the parking brake release handle. 5. Disconnect the parking brake
switch electrical connector. 6. Release the hood release cable pushpin from the parking brake
control bracket. 7. Release the harness clip from the parking brake cable housing.
8. NOTE: Rotating the parking brake control counterclockwise allows enough access to clear the
instrument panel reinforcement.
Remove the 3 bolts and position the parking brake control assembly under the brake pedal.
9. CAUTION: The lower side of the headlight switch bezel includes 2 tabs that slide down onto the
instrument panel and may be broken if
any prying force is exerted in the lower area of the bezel.
Using a suitable tool, pry the mid-to-upper side of the headlight switch bezel away from the
instrument panel, disconnect the 2 electrical connectors and position the bezel assembly aside.
10. If necessary, push the LH instrument panel side finish panel out and position it aside. 11.
Through the headlight switch bezel opening, remove the 2 SJB bolts. 12. From under the
instrument panel, remove the third SJB bolt.
13. NOTE: The SJB electrical connector levers must click into a fully released position before they
can be removed and must click into a fully closed

Pull the SJB down out of the 2 locating pins, disconnect the 5 electrical connectors and remove the
SJB.
Installation
NOTE: When a new SJB is installed, all customer RKE transmitters may be required to program
the RKE transmitters to the new SJB.
1. NOTE: The SJB electrical connector levers must click into a fully released position before they
can be removed and must click into a fully closed
(connected) position when installing.
Position the SJB into the 2 locating pins and connect the 5 electrical connectors.
2. From under the instrument panel, install the SJB bolt. 3. Through the headlight switch bezel
opening, install the 2 SJB bolts. 4. If necessary, install the LH instrument panel side finish panel. 5.
Connect the 2 electrical connectors and install the headlight switch bezel assembly into the
instrument panel. 6. Position the parking brake control assembly and install the 3 bolts.
- Tighten to 20 Nm (15 lb-ft).
7. Install the harness clip on the parking brake cable housing. 8. Install the hood release cable
pushpin into the parking brake control bracket. 9. Connect the parking brake switch electrical
connector.
10. Position the parking brake release handle and install the 2 bolts. 11. Position the hood release
lever assembly and install the bolt.
12. NOTE: While installing the trim panel, pull the hood release lever rearward in order for the
release lever to slide through the trim panel.
Position the cowl side trim panel and install the pushpin.
13. Position the LH door opening weather seal. 14. Install the driver door scuff plate.
15. NOTE: When successful, this step provides the calibration necessary for SJB operation and
clears DTC B2477. The clearing of the DTC
indicates the calibration data has been successfully downloaded to the SJB.
Download the SJB configuration information from the diagnostic tool to the SJB.
16. NOTE: When successful, this step clears DTCs B2868, B2869, B2870 and B2871. The clearing
of these DTCs indicates the SJB has recognized
the tire pressure sensors during the training procedure.
Train the tire pressure sensors.
17. Clear the DTCs.
18. NOTE: This step is required to clear DTC C2780, cause the SJB to exit the manufacturing
mode, and to be sure there are no other concerns with
the newly programmed SJB.
Carry out the SJB on-demand self-test.
19. NOTE: If the module configuration upload/download is successful, then the RKE transmitters
do not need to be reprogrammed to the vehicle.
However, if the module configuration upload/download is unsuccessful and as-built data must be
used to configure the module, then ALL of the customer's RKE transmitters must be reprogrammed
to the vehicle.
Program the RKE transmitters to the new SJB (if necessary).

Depowering Procedure
WARNING:
- Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS)
vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an
accidental deployment.
- Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment,
which can result in personal injury.
- Never probe the electrical connector on a safety canopy module. Doing so can result in safety
canopy deployment.
- Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control
module (RCM) while the RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in the inadvertent deployment of the safety canopy and risk of personal
injury.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
NOTE:
- If a seat equipped with a SRS component is being serviced, the SRS must be depowered.
- The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is
ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
1. Turn all vehicle accessories OFF. 2. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. 3. At the smart junction box
(SJB), located below the LH side of the instrument panel, remove the cover and the restraints
control module (RCM)
fuse 17 (10A) from the SJB.
4. Turn the ignition ON and visually monitor the air bag indicator for at least 30 seconds. The air
bag indicator will remain lit continuously (no
flashing) if the correct RCM fuse has been removed. If the air bag indicator does not remain lit
continuously, remove the correct RCM fuse before proceeding.
5. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
6. WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power
supply must be depleted before repairing
or installing any front or side air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) components and before
servicing, installing, adjusting or striking components near the front or side air bag sensors, such as
doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and hood latches.
The front impact severity sensors are located on the radiator support bracket above the lower front
splash shield.
The front door side impact sensors are located in the first row doors, behind the door trim panel.
The C-pillar side impact sensors (if equipped) are located on the C-pillar.
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least
one minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).
Disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute.
Repowering Procedure
1. WARNING: The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only. Remove
from vehicle prior to road use. Failure to

remove could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.
Make sure all restraint system diagnostic tool(s) that may have been installed during the repair
have been removed from the vehicle and all SRS components are connected.
2. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON. 3. Install RCM fuse 17 (10A) to the SJB and close the
cover.
4. WARNING: Be sure that nobody is in the vehicle and that there is nothing blocking or set in front
of any air bag module when the
battery ground cable is connected.
Connect the battery ground cable.
5. Prove out the SRS as follows:
Turn the ignition switch from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition switch back to ON
and visually monitor the air bag indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag indicator
will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS fault is
present, the air bag indicator will: fail to light.
- remain lit continuously.
- flash at a 5 Hz rate (RCM not configured).
The air bag indicator might not light until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has
been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the
testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime will sound
in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag indicator and any SRS fault discovered
must be diagnosed and repaired.
Clear all continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the RCM and occupant classification
sensor (OCS) module using a scan tool.

WARNING:
- Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS)
vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an
accidental deployment.
- Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover pointed away from your body. This will
reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
- Do not set a live air bag module down with the trim cover face down. This will reduce the risk of
injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
- After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a product of the
gas generant combustion that is irritating to the skin. Wash your hands with soap and water
afterwards.
- Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment,
which can result in personal injury.
- Never probe the connectors on the safety canopy module. Doing so can result in safety canopy
deployment, which can result in personal injury.
- The safety belt pretensioner and adaptive load limiting retractor are pyrotechnic devices. Always
wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag equipped vehicle and when handling a safety belt
buckle pretensioner or safety belt retractor pretensioner/adaptive load limiting retractor. Never
probe a pretensioner or adaptive load limiting retractor electrical connector. Doing so could result in
pretensioner, adaptive load limiting retractor or air bag deployment and could result in personal
injury.

Removal and Installation
WARNING:
- Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS)
vehicle and when handling an airbag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an
accidental deployment.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
- After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a product of the
gas generant combustion that is irritating to the skin. Wash your hands with soap and water
afterwards.
- Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment,
which can result in personal injury.
NOTE:
- If a seat equipped with a supplemental restraint system (SRS) component is being serviced, the
SRS must be depowered.
- The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is
ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

Seat Heater: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Information and Instructions > Page 9339
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Information and Instructions > Page 9340
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 9341
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

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

1. NOTE: In applications where mastic material is applied as a pumpable material at the factory,
replacement of missing or damaged mastic is
acceptable in the form of cut-to-fit butyl pad(s) or pumpable mastic material(s) when carrying out
repairs.
Whenever replacement of an existing mastic insulator is carried out, the surface must be
thoroughly cleaned to make sure correct adhesion will occur. The surface should be 10°C (50°F) or
greater before applying the mastic. The use of a heat gun to warm the metal surface will aid in
adhesion.

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

BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH (BPS) BRAKE DEACTIVATOR SWITCH
The BPS, also called the brake deactivator switch, is for vehicle speed control deactivation. A
normally closed switch supplies battery positive voltage (B+) to the PCM when the brake pedal is
not applied. When the brake pedal is applied, the normally closed switch opens and power is
removed from the PCM.
On some applications the normally closed BPS, along with the normally open BPP switch, are used
for a brake rationality test within the PCM. The PCM misfire monitor profile learn function may be
disabled if a brake switch concern occurs. If one or both brake pedal inputs to the PCM is not
changing states when they were expected to, a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is set by the PCM
strategy.

Air Bag Deactivation Indicator: Description and Operation
PASSENGER AIR BAG DEACTIVATION (PAD) INDICATOR
The passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) indicator is a visual indicator used to inform the front
seat occupants of the passenger air bag deactivation state. The PAD indicator is a stand-alone
lamp installed into the vehicle instrument panel in a position visible to each front seat occupant.
The RCM controls the state of the PAD indicator through a direct hardware connection, based on
information provided by the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system. The PAD indicator is lit
to indicate the passenger air bag module is disabled. An exemption to this is when the front
passenger seat is determined to be empty and passenger safety belt buckle unbuckled, and
therefore indication of a deactivated passenger air bag module is not necessary. In all other cases,
the PAD indicator is unlit when the passenger air bag module is enabled. When the ignition switch
is in the ON position, the PAD indicator prove-out period is initiated by the RCM. The RCM briefly
activates the PAD indicator to prove-out the indicator function and verify to the front occupants
correct functional operation of the PAD indicator.
The PAD indicator will be lit/unlit within 1.0 to 1.5 seconds of a change of state from the OCS
system.
When an OCS system fault is present, the RCM defaults the passenger air bag module to the last
valid state received from the OCS system until the ignition switch is turned OFF. If the OCS system
fault is still present when the ignition switch is turned ON, the RCM defaults the passenger air bag
module to enabled regardless of the size of occupant in the front passenger seat. The PAD
indicator will be unlit.

The above table indicates the passenger air bag status and the PAD indicator status based the
size of the front outboard passenger occupant

WARNING:
- Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS)
vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an
accidental deployment.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
NOTE:
- The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed
and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental
restraint system (SRS) fault.
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
- Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install
the original part and carry out the diagnostic procedure again.
1. Depower the system. 2. Remove the floor console. 3. Gently pull outward to release the clips on
the instrument panel center finish panel. 4. Disconnect the passenger air bag deactivation (PAD)

Cigarette Lighter: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9551
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

accidental deployment.
- Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment,
which can result in personal injury.
- Never probe the electrical connector on a safety canopy module. Doing so can result in safety
canopy deployment.
- Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control
module (RCM) while the RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in the inadvertent deployment of the safety canopy and risk of personal
injury.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
NOTE:
- If a seat equipped with a SRS component is being serviced, the SRS must be depowered.
- The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is

Fuel Filler Cap Warning Indicator: Description and Operation
CHECK FUEL CAP INDICATOR
The check fuel cap indicator is a communications network message sent by the PCM. The PCM
sends the message to illuminate the lamp when the strategy determines that there is a failure in the
vapor management system due to the fuel filler cap not being sealed correctly. This would be
detected by the inability to pull vacuum in the fuel tank, after a fueling event.

Fuel Gauge: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9692
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9693
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Fuel Gauge > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9694
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

WARNING:
- Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS)
vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an
accidental deployment.
- Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment,
which can result in personal injury.
- Never probe the electrical connector on a safety canopy module. Doing so can result in safety
canopy deployment.
- Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control
module (RCM) while the RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in the inadvertent deployment of the safety canopy and risk of personal
injury.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
NOTE:
- If a seat equipped with a SRS component is being serviced, the SRS must be depowered.
- The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is
ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
1. Turn all vehicle accessories OFF. 2. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. 3. At the smart junction box
(SJB), located below the LH side of the instrument panel, remove the cover and the restraints
control module (RCM)
fuse 17 (10A) from the SJB.
4. Turn the ignition ON and visually monitor the air bag indicator for at least 30 seconds. The air
bag indicator will remain lit continuously (no
flashing) if the correct RCM fuse has been removed. If the air bag indicator does not remain lit
continuously, remove the correct RCM fuse before proceeding.
5. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
6. WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power
supply must be depleted before repairing
or installing any front or side air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) components and before
servicing, installing, adjusting or striking components near the front or side air bag sensors, such as
doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and hood latches.
The front impact severity sensors are located on the radiator support bracket above the lower front
splash shield.
The front door side impact sensors are located in the first row doors, behind the door trim panel.
The C-pillar side impact sensors (if equipped) are located on the C-pillar.
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least
one minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).

Make sure all restraint system diagnostic tool(s) that may have been installed during the repair
have been removed from the vehicle and all SRS components are connected.
2. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON. 3. Install RCM fuse 17 (10A) to the SJB and close the
cover.
4. WARNING: Be sure that nobody is in the vehicle and that there is nothing blocking or set in front
of any air bag module when the
battery ground cable is connected.
Connect the battery ground cable.
5. Prove out the SRS as follows:
Turn the ignition switch from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition switch back to ON
and visually monitor the air bag indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag indicator
will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS fault is
present, the air bag indicator will: fail to light.
- remain lit continuously.
- flash at a 5 Hz rate (RCM not configured).
The air bag indicator might not light until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has
been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the
testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime will sound
in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag indicator and any SRS fault discovered
must be diagnosed and repaired.
Clear all continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the RCM and occupant classification
sensor (OCS) module using a scan tool.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Testing and Inspection
TPMS Indicator and Message Center Messages
The TPMS indicator and vehicle message center (if equipped) sometimes displays faults that
cannot be resolved by the customer. Treat these messages as TPMS faults that must be serviced.
TPMS Indicator Illuminates Continuously
NOTE: If the spare tire is in use, the damaged road tire must be repaired and installed on the
vehicle to restore complete TPMS functionality before carrying out any diagnosis.
1. The TPMS indicator remains on continuously for this condition:
^ Low Tire Pressure - The TPMS indicator is illuminated solid and the message center displays
LOW TIRE PRESSURE (if equipped). This is displayed when any of the tire pressures are low.
When this condition exists, the tire pressure must be adjusted to the recommended cold pressure
as indicated on the vehicle certification label.
2. NOTE: The TPMS sensors do not transmit when the vehicle is stationary. If the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 30 minutes, it will be
necessary to wake up the sensors so they will transmit the latest tire pressure information to the
SJB.
If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, carry out this procedure to wake up the
TPMS sensors. 1
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2 Adjust the air pressure in the LF tire.
3 Activate the LF TPMS sensor, at least 2 times, using the tire pressure monitor activation tool.
4 Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the remaining tires.
5 If the TPMS indicator remains illuminated after adjusting and activating each sensor, GO to
Symptom Chart. See: Tire Monitoring System/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic
Procedures
TPMS Indicator Flashes
The TPMS indicator flashes for 70 seconds and then remains ON solid when the ignition key is
turned to the ON position for these conditions: 1. Tire Pressure Sensor Fault - If equipped, the
message center will display TIRE SENSOR FAULT when a tire pressure sensor is malfunctioning.
GO to Symptom Chart. See: Tire Monitoring System/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related
Diagnostic Procedures
2. No communication with the SJB (TPMS is integral to the SJB) - The TPMS indicator is
illuminated when the instrument cluster has received no
signals from the SJB for more than 5 seconds. If equipped, the message center displays TIRE
MONITOR FAULT. GO to Symptom Chart. See: Tire Monitoring System/Testing and
Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
3. Tire Pressure Monitor Fault - If equipped, the message center will display TIRE MONITOR
FAULT when the tire pressure monitoring system is
malfunctioning or communication with the instrument cluster has been lost. GO to Symptom Chart.

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

Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation
Safety Belt Warning Indicator And Chime
The warning indicator and chime are reminders to fasten the safety belt. The system operates as
follows: If the driver safety belt is not buckled before the ignition switch is turned to the RUN or START
position, the indicator will illuminate for 1-2 minutes and the chime will sound for 4-8 seconds.
- If the driver safety belt is buckled while the indicator is on and the chime is sounding, both the
indicator and chime will turn off.
- If the safety belt is buckled before the ignition is turned to the ON position, neither the indicator
nor the chime will turn on.
Belt Minder
The Belt Minder feature is a supplemental warning to the safety belt warning function. This feature
provides an additional reminder that the driver's and/or front passenger's safety belt is unbuckled
by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning lamp in the instrument
cluster.
To activate or deactivate the Belt Minder feature, refer to Seat Belt Systems or the owner's
literature.

ISSUE Some 2004-2007 Explorer 4dr/Mountaineer vehicles may exhibit the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0463 or an erratic fuel gauge concern. This
could be from sulphur contamination in the fuel, causing an open or high resistance on the fuel
sender card.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. For vehicles with customer symptom of erratic fuel gauge operation (with no MIL on), proceed to
Step 1a. For vehicles with a customer symptom including the MIL on, proceed to Step 1b. If unable
to verify the concern, do not continue with this TSB.
a. Follow the appropriate pinpoint test (PPT) for "Fuel Gauge Inaccurate" in Workshop Manual
(WSM), Section 413-01. If PPT test results lead to fuel pump module replacement, proceed to Step
2. If PPT test results isolate any problem other than fuel pump module replacement, repair as
indicated and do not continue with this TSB.
b. Install diagnostic scan tool to retrieve DTCs. If DTC P0463 is retrieved, proceed to Step 2. If
DTC P0463 is not retrieved, this TSB does not apply, follow normal WSM diagnostics.
2. Remove fuel tank per WSM, Section 310-01.
3. Remove fuel pump assembly from fuel tank per WSM, Section 310-01. See Figure 1 (Chart) to
determine if a kit (contains a fuel level sensor assembly, a wire harness and heat shrink tube) or
fuel pump assembly is required for repair. For vehicles that can be serviced with a kit go to Step 4.
For vehicles that require fuel pump assembly replacement, go to Step 12.
4. Remove the fuel level sensor assembly (sender card/float rod assembly) from the fuel pump
assembly per WSM, Section 310-01.

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

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Testing and Inspection
TPMS Indicator and Message Center Messages
The TPMS indicator and vehicle message center (if equipped) sometimes displays faults that
cannot be resolved by the customer. Treat these messages as TPMS faults that must be serviced.
TPMS Indicator Illuminates Continuously
NOTE: If the spare tire is in use, the damaged road tire must be repaired and installed on the
vehicle to restore complete TPMS functionality before carrying out any diagnosis.
1. The TPMS indicator remains on continuously for this condition:
^ Low Tire Pressure - The TPMS indicator is illuminated solid and the message center displays
LOW TIRE PRESSURE (if equipped). This is displayed when any of the tire pressures are low.
When this condition exists, the tire pressure must be adjusted to the recommended cold pressure
as indicated on the vehicle certification label.
2. NOTE: The TPMS sensors do not transmit when the vehicle is stationary. If the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 30 minutes, it will be
necessary to wake up the sensors so they will transmit the latest tire pressure information to the
SJB.
If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, carry out this procedure to wake up the
TPMS sensors. 1
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2 Adjust the air pressure in the LF tire.
3 Activate the LF TPMS sensor, at least 2 times, using the tire pressure monitor activation tool.
4 Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the remaining tires.
5 If the TPMS indicator remains illuminated after adjusting and activating each sensor, GO to
Symptom Chart. See: Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
TPMS Indicator Flashes
The TPMS indicator flashes for 70 seconds and then remains ON solid when the ignition key is
turned to the ON position for these conditions: 1. Tire Pressure Sensor Fault - If equipped, the
message center will display TIRE SENSOR FAULT when a tire pressure sensor is malfunctioning.
GO to Symptom Chart. See: Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
2. No communication with the SJB (TPMS is integral to the SJB) - The TPMS indicator is
illuminated when the instrument cluster has received no
signals from the SJB for more than 5 seconds. If equipped, the message center displays TIRE
MONITOR FAULT. GO to Symptom Chart. See: Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related
Diagnostic Procedures
3. Tire Pressure Monitor Fault - If equipped, the message center will display TIRE MONITOR
FAULT when the tire pressure monitoring system is
malfunctioning or communication with the instrument cluster has been lost. GO to Symptom Chart.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training
Special Tool(s)
NOTE: If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will go into a "sleep
mode" to conserve battery power. It will be necessary to wake them up so they will transmit the
latest tire pressure information to the Smart Junction Box (SJB).
NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle, in an area
without radio frequency noise and at least 1 m (3 ft) away from other vehicles equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
Radio frequency noise is generated by electrical motors and appliance operation, cellular
telephones, remote transmitters, power inverters and portable entertainment equipment.
NOTE: If a sensor does not respond to the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool, attempt to
activate the same sensor with the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool. If the sensor still does not
respond, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at least one-fourth of a turn and attempt to activate
the same sensor again.
NOTE: The SJB has a 2-minute time limit between sensor responses. If the SJB does not
recognize any 1 of the 4 tire pressure sensors during this time limit, the horn will sound twice and
the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT and the entire
procedure must be repeated.
NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as the E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the
sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate. For vehicles with the same tire pressure for
front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the system.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, then press and release the brake pedal. 2. Cycle the
ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position. 3.
Press and release the brake pedal. 4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 5. Turn the
ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position.
- The horn will sound once and the TPMS indicator will flash if the training mode has been entered
successfully. If equipped, the message center will display TRAIN LF TIRE.
NOTE: It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this time, the Tire
Pressure Monitor Activation Tool must remain in place 180 degrees from the valve stem.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Tire Monitoring System > Tire Pressure
Sensor > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Page 9926
6. Place the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool on the LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees)
from the valve stem. Press and release the test
button on the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the
tire pressure sensor has been recognized by the SJB.
7. Within 2 minutes of the horn sounding, place the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool on the RF
tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the
valve stem and press and release the test button to train the RF tire pressure sensor.
NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between training each sensor or the SJB will time out and
the entire procedure must be repeated.
8. Repeat Step 7 for the RR and LR tires.
The procedure is completed after the last tire has been trained. When the training procedure is
complete, the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE. For vehicles
not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure will be
verified by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position without the horn sounding. If the horn
sounds twice when the switch is turned to the OFF position, the training procedure was not
successful.
9. Using the scan tool, locate the updated TPMS sensor identifiers trained to the SJB and
document them on the applicable warranty claim.
NOTE: This step is required to clear DTC C2780, cause the SJB to exit the manufacturing mode
and to make sure there are no other concerns with a newly programmed SJB.
10. If the sensors are being trained due to the installation of a new SJB, clear any DTCs and carry
out the SJB On-Demand Self Test.

^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all open in OVERDRIVE, so OVERDRIVE is a good position to
check for shorts to ground. To determine the shorted components while observing TRD, unplug the
TR and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present unplug the transmission
harness and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present, then the short is in the
PCM or vehicle harness. Remove the suspect circuit(s) wire terminal from the PCM connector. If
the short is still present, then the PCM has an internal failure, otherwise the failure is in the vehicle

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

and Instructions > Page 9954
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.

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

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

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Information and Instructions > Page 10119
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.

Marker Lamp: Diagram Information and Instructions
Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Marker Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 10141
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Marker Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 10142
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Marker Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 10143
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

Wiggle Test Information for Open/Shorts
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all closed in PARK. PARK is a good position to check for
intermittent open circuits (with scan tool monitoring TRD).
^ TR4, TR3A, TR2 and TR1 are all open in OVERDRIVE, so OVERDRIVE is a good position to
check for shorts to ground. To determine the shorted components while observing TRD, unplug the
TR and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present unplug the transmission
harness and determine if the short goes away. If the short is still present, then the short is in the
PCM or vehicle harness. Remove the suspect circuit(s) wire terminal from the PCM connector. If
the short is still present, then the PCM has an internal failure, otherwise the failure is in the vehicle
harness.

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

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Tail Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 10257
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Tail Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 10258
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.
Ford Explorer 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-4.0L VIN K (2007))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Tail Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 10259
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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

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

Introduction
Note
All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differently in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.
Complete Circuit Operation
Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.
Current Flow (1)
Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in Power and Distribution Diagrams.
Switch Positions (2)
Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).
Splices (3)
Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagrams in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be seen
completely in Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference is given
to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Component Referencing (4)
Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.
Component Names (5)
Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in Vehicle/Diagrams.
Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)
Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Information and Instructions > Page 10555
Fuse and Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information contains a view of the fuse/relay box in which fuses and relays are
identified, numbered and named. Fuse and relay numbering and naming follow the indication of the
fuse panel cover. In addition, for all removable relays, pin positions are added to illustrate proper
orientation.

Information and Instructions > Page 10556
Power Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Wiper and Washer Systems > Wiper Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 10557
Ground Distribution
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams contains the diagrams that shows the complete details
for each ground connection or main ground splice. This is useful in diagnosing a problem affecting
several components at once (poor ground connection or ground splice). All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the ground point and the component are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual set of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
C904
Component and Connector Information
Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector
housing is indicated next to the connector number when available. The harness causal number is
located above the connector view and below the connector number. The circuit function charts are
located below each connector. The wiring harness designations are listed in set Component
Location Charts.
Component Location Views shows the components and their connecting wires as they can be
found on the vehicle.
Location information that can be found at the vehicle level will helps the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.
WARNINGS
- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.
- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.
- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.
- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.
- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe,catalytic converter and muffler.
- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery cell. An explosion could occur.
- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing loose
clothing.

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